LRGHealthcare adding walk-in clinic at hospital By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Next month, LRGHealthcare expects to open Convenience Care at Lakes Region General Hospital, a walk-in clinic providing treatment for common injuries and illnesses as well as shots and preventative services at
affordable costs. Dr. Paul Racicot, who oversees emergency medicine at LRGHealthcare, said yesterday that Convenience Care will serve as a bridge between primary care and emergency services, by offering an alternative to both at less cost than either. Unlike an office visit,
no appointment will be necessary and unlike the emergency room, patients will be spared long waits for treatment. The clinic will operate from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. seven days a week. Treatment will be provided for colds, flu, sore throats, ear aches, allegories, sprains, minor burns, cuts, and
aches and pains. aches. Racicot characterized the process as “self-diagnosis” or “self-triage,” stressing that because the clinic is part of the hospital, if injuries or illnesses require more intensive treatment than it can provide, patients can be transferred quickly and easily see waLK-In page 12

GILFORD — Fire Chief Stephen Carrier said yesterday the Board of Fire Engineers will ask selectmen for the money to replace the roof at the fire station this year. Carrier said yesterday he was told by Buildings and Grounds manager Dee Chitty that the there are no more repairs that can be done to the southwest side of the roof to prevent ice damming and leaking into the building. “We just don’t have the money in our budget and that’s why the engineers are appealing to the selectmen,” Carrier said. Carrier said he was aware that the roof was leaking in two places on the southwest side, over the kitchen, and the opposite side, over the watch room. What he doesn’t know is the extent of the damage, which he said is caused by ice damming. An e-mail sent from Carrier to Town Administrator Scott Dunn and the Board of Selectmen said a quote from a Stratham Roofing company solicited by Chitty gave an estimate of $63,786. Carrier said this was the first “recent, realistic quote” he had see ROOF page 18

U.S. poised to top Saudi Arabia as world’s top oil producer
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. oil output is surging so fast that the United States could soon overtake Saudi Arabia as the world’s biggest producer. Driven by high prices and new drilling methods, U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons is on track to rise 7 percent this year to an average of 10.9 million barrels per day. This will be the fourth straight year of crude increases and the biggest single-year gain since 1951. The boom has surprised even the experts. “Five years ago, if I or anyone had predicted today’s production growth, people would have thought we were crazy,” says Jim Burkhard, head of oil markets research at IHS CERA, an energy consulting firm. The Energy Department forecasts that U.S. production of crude and other liquid hydrocarbons, which includes biofuels, will average 11.4 million barrels per day next year. That would be a record for see OIL page 5

Shabby sterilization practices said found at Mass. Rx center BOSTON (AP) — State officials investigating a pharmacy linked to a deadly outbreak of meningitis said Tuesday they found shoddy sterilization practices and unclean conditions there, including debriscovered floor mats and standing water from a leaking boiler. State officials also said the New England Compounding Center shipped steroids from the possibly contaminated batches suspected in the outbreak before it received its own test results confirming the drugs were sterile.
Gov. Deval Patrick said he’s ordered state pharmacy regulators to conduct surprise inspections — the first of which happened Tuesday — at companies similar to the NECC and take other steps to tighten oversight. The state also has moved to revoke the company’s operating license and the licenses of its top three pharmacists. “Those whose laboratory practices caused this outbreak should never practice pharmacy or manufacture in Massachusetts again,” Patrick said. The outbreak of fungal meningitis, an
inflammation of the lining of the brain and spinal cord, has sickened 308 people, including 23 who have died, in 17 states. The outbreak has been linked to a steroid made by the NECC and taken mainly for back pain. Compounding pharmacies like NECC custom mix solutions in doses or forms generally not commercially available. The federal government is conducting a criminal investigation. The state said Tuesday that its preliminary investigation, which began last month see MENINGITIS page 4
CLAYTON, N.J. (AP) — A teenage boy lured a 12-year-old girl into his house under the guise of getting parts for her treasured bicycle and then, with his older brother, killed her, police said Tuesday. The girl’s disappearance had sparked a frantic search by residents of her small town until a tip from the boys’ mother led police to her body, stuffed into a home recycling bin. The boys, ages 15 and 17, were charged with murdering Autumn Pasquale, who
disappeared while riding her BMX bike Saturday, a little more than a week before what would have been her 13th birthday. She appeared to have been strangled, Gloucester County prosecutor Sean Dalton said at a late-day news conference. The boys’ mother had come forward with information about a posting on a son’s Facebook account, Dalton said. He wouldn’t say what was on the website or discuss a possible motive for the killing, but said there
was no sign of sexual assault. Autumn was lured to the house, where they apparently lived with their mother and stepfather, for the purpose of getting parts for her treasured BMX bike, which she rode frequently and talked about on her Facebook pages. Both brothers were charged with counts including first-degree murder, body disposal and tampering with evidence. The see NJ GIRL page 11

A lot of fund raising would have to occur before Boys & Girls Club could build dream building along Winni River By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — In response to a request from the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region to purchase municipally owned property on Davis Place for a permanent home for the club, the City Council has scheduled a public hearing on the project at its meeting on Monday, November 26. Representatives of the club, accompanied by attorney Rod Dyer, met with the council behind closed doors on Monday night to express their interest in acquiring two lots, with a total area of 1.82 acres, across the street from the Normandin Square Apartments. A portion of the property runs along the Winnipesaukee River. Following the meeting Mayor Mike Seymour announced that the council would hold a public hearing to sound abutters and neighbors about the project before considering whether to designate the property as “surplus” and negotiate its sale. The local Boys and Girls Club evolved from a teen center which was originally housed at the city’s Community Center. After moving to classrooms of the former parochial school at Sacred Heart Parish, it affiliated with the national organization and became the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region. But, when the diocese found other uses for the space, the club began an odyssey that has taken it from Our Lady of the Lakes in Lakeport and to its current quarters in the Federal Building on Main Street owned by Lakes Region Community Services. \Cheryl Avery, executive director of the club, said that the Davis Place location was well suited for the club, explaining that it was very close to
the high school and within walking distance of the middle school. She said that students from the middle school could follow Opechee Street to Messer Street then cross the river and take Bisson Avenue to Davis Place. The prospect of enjoying access to the river, she remarked, presented an opportunity for some children and teenagers who have grown up around the water to canoe and kayak for the first time. The lots have 355 feet of frontage on Davis Place between Jewett Brook and an adjacent residential building. The property lies in the elbow formed by Jewett Brook and the Winnipesaukee River. Together the two lots have an assessed value of $112,400. Avery said that the club plans to build a 14,000-square-foot facility featuring a full-size gymnasium open not only to club members but also the entire community. The building would house a teen center as well as space dedicated for younger children, along with an art room, computer lab and flexible spaces. Once the property is secured, she said that the process of designing the building and raising the funds to build it would begin. Two years ago the club considered purchasing property on Fair Street owned by Geo. J. Foster Company, the former owner of The Citizen. At the time, Avery said that club officials approached several local businesses about contributing to the project and anticipated a renewed capital campaign would not have to start from scratch. Furthermore, she said that a building fund has a balance of about $300,000. “It’s not going to be easy.” Avery said, expecting the project would take two or three years to come to fruition.

MENINGITIS from page one after the company was first suspected in the growing outbreak, found batches of drugs ready for general distribution but not labeled for specific patients. Its state license permits the company to fill out only specific prescriptions for specific patients, and distributing drugs in batches like a manufacturer would violate that, said Dr. Madeleine Biondolillo, director of the state Department of Public Health’s Bureau of Healthcare Safety. But company attorney Paul Cirel said it’s “hard to imagine” state regulators weren’t previously aware of the scale of its operations because they’ve worked so closely together. The state Board of Registration in Pharmacy has always had complete access to the facility, and board members were there as recently as last summer, he said. “NECC’s transparency in dealing with the board since inception in 1998 demonstrates its good-faith intention to operate in compliance with the requirements of its license,” Cirel said. Besides possible state license violations, Biondolillo said the inspections also revealed “several health and safety deficiencies” at the NECC facility in Framingham, just west of Boston.

I don’t know how to express my thanks to all of Steve’s friends; The Laconia Rod and Gun Club, The Laconia Elks Club, The American Legion and everyone else who was so kind and thoughtful. Steve had so many friends who cared! Thank you for all that you have done for us at this time. Love, Linda Cormier Lamontagne and Family
are suspected in the outbreak, and the company shipped orders from those lots 13 times before receiving the results of its own tests to confirm those lots were sterile, Biondolillo said. Some medication was shipped as many as 11 days before the company received test results, she said. Biondolillo also detailed signs of flawed sterilization procedures, including black specks of fungus in sealed vials of the steroids, which were returned to the company during a recall. Investigators found the company didn’t sterilize its products long enough and didn’t adequately test whether its sterilization equipment was working, she said. In addition, mats on which people wiped their shoes to remove contamination before entering a sterile environment were “visibly dirty and soiled with assorted debris,” she said. And a leaking boiler adjacent to a pharmacy clean room left an unsanitary pool of water around it and the adjacent walls, she said. None of what’s been found is enough to definitively determine what caused the contamination, and the investigation is ongoing, Biondolillo said. Meanwhile, Patrick’s moves to increase oversight at the state’s 25 compounding pharmacies have already started.

Belmont land use boards rallying in defense of technician’s position at Town Hall By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Planning Board Chair Peter Harris said yesterday he does not support eliminating the position of land use technician, calling the job “invaluable” to the goals of all three of the town’s land use boards. Harris’s statement comes one week after learning the selectmen want to know more about the duties done by the technician before they will include the position in next year’s budget request and one day after Planning Board members unanimously voiced their support for the position in a public session. “I’m not upset the question was asked,” Harris said. “It’s fair to raise the question, fair to scrutinize and fair to (ask Town Planner Candace Daigle) to provide the information.” From his position, Harris said the land use technician is the “guy who saves us the money, not costs us the money.” He said the land use technician reviews all the “smart growth” in Belmont, reviews all of the aquifer protections, and is the primary adviser to the Conservation Commission. Harris said the techniOIL from page one the U.S. and just below Saudi Arabia’s output of 11.6 million barrels. Citibank forecasts U.S. production could reach 13 million to 15 million barrels per day by 2020, helping to make North America “the new Middle East.” The last year the U.S. was the world’s largest producer was 2002, after the Saudis drastically cut production because of low oil prices in the aftermath of 9/11. Since then, the Saudis and the Russians have been the world leaders. The United States will still need to import lots of oil in the years ahead. Americans use 18.7 million barrels per day. But thanks to the growth in domestic production and the improving fuel efficiency of the nation’s cars and trucks, imports could fall by half by the end of the decade. The increase in production hasn’t translated to cheaper gasoline at the pump, and prices are expected to stay relatively high for the next few years because of growing demand for oil in developing nations and political instability in the Middle East and North Africa. Still, producing more oil domestically, and importing less, gives the economy a significant boost. The companies profiting range from independent drillers to large international oil companies such as Royal Dutch Shell, which increasingly see the U.S. as one of the most promising places to drill. ExxonMobil agreed last month to spend $1.6 billion to increase its U.S. oil holdings. Increased drilling is driving economic growth in states such as North Dakota, Oklahoma, Wyoming, Montana and Texas, all of which have unemployment rates far below the national average of 7.8 percent. North Dakota is at 3 percent; Oklahoma, 5.2. Businesses that serve the oil industry, such as steel companies that supply drilling pipe and railroads that transport oil, aren’t the only ones benefiting. Homebuilders, auto dealers and retailers in energy-producing states are also getting a lift. IHS says the oil and gas drilling boom, which already supports 1.7 million jobs, will lead to the creation of 1.3 million jobs across the U.S. economy by the end of the decade. “It’s the most important change to the economy since the advent of personal computers pushed up productivity in the 1990s,” says economist Philip Verleger, a visiting fellow at the Peterson Institute of International Economics. The major factor driving domestic production higher is a newfound ability to squeeze oil out of rock once thought too difficult and expensive to tap. Drillers have learned to drill horizontally into long, thin seams of shale and other rock that holds oil, instead of searching for rare underground pools of hydrocarbons that have accumulated over millions of years. To free the oil and gas from the rock, drillers crack it open by pumping water, sand and chemicals into the ground at high pressure, a process is known as hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking.”
cian is the one who reviews all of the town’s projects including the Church Street Bridge repair, the Village Revitalization project, and the recreation trail. Harris also said the town has seen an uptick in commercial growth and credits a lot of it to the high level of service business people get when the come to the land use office. He said taking the land use technician position from the Planning Department could slow permitting and engineering applications for residential and commercial residents and could negatively effect future growth. Harris said he thinks the issue is that 30 or the 40 hours of the land use technician’s salary is budgeted from the Planning Department but the position is one that is used by nearly every department in Belmont. The cost of the technician is about $60,000 annually plus the town’s respective contributions to benefits, including retirement. Selectboard Chair Jon Pike asked Daigle to provide the board with a complete summary of what the responsibilities and duties are of the land use technician at the last meeting. Daigle provided the requested information and Pike said he wanted to carefully review it before selectmen made an official budget recommendation.
The board tabled the Planning Department budget until October 29. Harris said he expects to attend the next selectman’s meeting as does Conservation Commission Chair Ken Knowlton, who said yesterday the land use technician is vital to all of the boards in town. “The people who serve on the land use boards are citizen-volunteers,” he said. “We depend on the expertise of the professionals.” Knowlton said one has only to look at what Belmont was like 20 years ago before the town had a land use office to know how important the office is to both the town and the budget’s bottom line. “The legal bills were huge,” he said. “People were suing us all of the time.” The next conservation committee meeting is scheduled for November 7 at 7 p.m. The town has had a land use technician for 11 years and the position is currently held by Rick Ball. Belmont’s Planning Department has three full time employees — the planner, the land use technician and a full time land use administrative clerk. There is also a line item for $1,830 for a clerk’s secretary. The department’s 2013 budget request is for $291,102, which is up about $4,000 from 2012.

A very high price to pay for bombing Iran “It would be unconscionable to go to war if we haven’t had such discussions,” said Nicholas Burns, under secretary of state in the Bush administration, of reports the Obama White House has agreed to one-on-one talks with Tehran over its nuclear program. Sen. Lindsey Graham dissented Sunday: “I think the time for talking is over. ... We talk, they enrich. It needs to stop. We need to have red lines coordinated with Israel and end this before it gets out of hand.” Clearly, Graham believes an ultimatum, followed by an attack if Iran denies us “access to their nuclear program,” is the way to “end this.” What kind of attack? According to David Rothkopf, writing in Foreign Policy magazine, U.S. and Israeli military authorities are discussing a joint attack, and the idea getting the most traction is “a U.S.-Israeli surgical strike targeting Iranian enrichment facilities.” “The strike might take only ‘a couple of hours’ in the best case and only would involve ‘a day or two’ overall, the source said, and would be conducted by air, using primarily bombers and drone support.” Smashing the enrichment facilities at Natanz and Fordow, writes Rothkopf, would mean “setting the Iranian nuclear program back many years, and doing so without civilian casualties.” This would have “regionwide benefits,” writes Rothkopf. “One advocate asserts it would be a ‘transformative outcome: saving Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, reanimating the peace process, securing the (Persian) Gulf, sending an unequivocal message to Russia and China, and assuring American ascendancy in the region for a decade to come.’” Thus, according to Rothkopf and his source, a U.S. attack on Iran’s enrichment facilities would produce the same glorious benefits we were promised if only we would invade and occupy Iraq in 2003. Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates has another view. “The results of an American or Israeli military strike on Iran could ... prove catastrophic, haunting us for generations in that part of the world.” What consequences might Gates have in mind? Iran might mine the Persian Gulf, sending ships to the bottom, halting traffic, doubling the price of oil and plunging Europe into the economic abyss on the edge of which the continent stands today. U.S. ships might face swarm attacks from Iranian speedboats, forcing us to sink the Iranian Navy’s surface ships and destroy the hundreds of fast missile boats in the gulf and Iranian ports. Iran could send its submarines out and fire its anti-ship missiles to sink a U.S. warship. Iranian missile attacks on U.S. bases in Bahrain
and the gulf region could ignite an all-out air and sea war, with the U.S. having to destroy Iranian air fields, antiaircraft and missile sites, and Iran’s remaining nuclear facilities. The U.S. could face the kind of attacks across the region that Ronald Reagan confronted when he put Marines in Beirut, with the U.S. embassy blown up and 241 Marines massacred by a suicide truck bomber. And if after months we had smashed Iran as we did Iraq in Desert Storm, would the regime give way to a pro-Western democracy? Or would the result in Iran look like what exists today in Libya, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Afghanistan? Syria is breaking apart into Sunni and Alawite, Arab, Kurd and Druze, Christian and Muslim, Islamist and secular. Afghanistan is dissolving into Tajik and Uzbek in the north, Hazara in the center, and Pashtun in the south and east. Iraq is losing Kurdistan and reverting to civil-sectarian war. A U.S. defeat of Iran could bring to power revanchists bent on payback through terrorism and propel that half of the population that is Arab, Baluch, Kurd and Azeri to try to break away. Who would benefit from a breakup of Iran, other than jihadists? Iran would surely stir up Hezbollah to rain down rockets on Israel and incite the Shia in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to rise against the regimes there. Would Shia in Iraq attack the U.S. embassy in Baghdad? We cannot know, but Gates is surely right that the consequences could be catastrophic. Which raises the question. Why are we even talking about war? Sen. Graham notwithstanding, the sanctions are working. The Iranian economy is sinking into recession, oil revenues have fallen, and hard currency reserves are being depleted. And what is the grave threat that justifies a war? While Iran is enriching uranium to 20 percent, it has not enriched to weapons grade. Should they do so, we would know it. Ayatollah Khamenei has called nuclear weapons anti-Islamic, and the U.S. intelligence community says Iran has no nuclear bomb program. America’s position as of today is: We do not want war with Iran, but will tolerate no Iranian bomb. Iran’s official position is: We want no bomb, and we are willing to negotiate, but we have a right to have a peaceful nuclear program. Can we find no common ground here? Gates and Burns are right. Before we go to war, let us find out, in faceto-face talks if need be, if we really have to go to war.
LETTERS Romney gives 15-20% of his income to charity; who else does that? To the editor, Barrack Obama has spent 600 million dollars and two years telling us, the media, and running advertising telling us that Mitt Romney is essentially the devil. According to the Obama campaign, Mitt is an evil uncaring man who cares for no one but the rich. We have been told that he hates the rest of us. We have been told that he closed a steel plant which caused the wife of a laid off worker to die of cancer. We have been told that he is an evil vulture capitalist that got rich by destroying companies, and the lives of its employees. We were told that he was a gaff prone clod who was clueless. We have been told that he is a selfish man who does not pay his fair share. I could go on and on. You have seen the ads. The Obama campaign created a caricature of Romney that is right out of Stephen King novel. Then came the first debate where America got to see Mitt Romney unfiltered. Suddenly things did not line up. People saw him as smart and articulate, assertive, thoughtful, and compassionate. They saw a person who looked, sounded, and carried himself like a president. His policies made sense and his criticisms were accurate and well-articulated. Suddenly the deluge of advertisements and ugly attacks by campaign spokespeople did not ring true. People came to realize that it was all a bunch of lies, distortions and spin. Mitt Romney is not any of those things the campaign had been saying about him. (Okay, he did put his dog on the roof of his car back in the 1980s) Suddenly the polls began to swing toward Romney. So what did the Obama campaign do? In the weeks after the debate, Obama and his spokes people adopted a new strat-
egy. They tried the Jedi mind-trick. It was if they were saying to us: “The man you saw in the debate is not the Romney you are looking for”. They insisted the man in their ads is the real Romney. “Don’t believe what you saw, your eyes and ears are lying to you!” Fortunately, this has not worked and Romney continues to surge. It looks like it might be a landslide. Obama has now begun to pull all of his negative advertising, realizing that the disconnect is too obvious. I have always known that dishonesty eventually catches up with you. It is nice to see it playing out in the campaign this season. The truth is that Mitt Romney is a kind, generous, man who has spent a considerable portion of his life and money helping and caring for others. As a young man, he spent two years of his life doing missionary service, then in his 30 and 40s he spent 20-30 hours of his time each week serving as a Bishop and Stake president in his church. He did this for over 10 years. These were unpaid positions focused on serving the needs of the congregation including youth, the poor and the elderly. The truth is that he pays his taxes according to the laws, then gives and additional 15-20-percent to charity. Who else can you name that does that? He has done that for his entire adult life, not just when he was running for office. This man gives his time, his money and his heart to help others. He always has. He always will. So the truth is now out, and the more people get to see Romney, the more people will see who he really is. In doing so, they will also be able see the real Obama. Terry Lewis Sanbornton
Have to laugh at Democrats jumping to support a Big Scary Banker To the editor, My thanks to Fergus Cullen for doing the research on the Bob Lamb expose. I have often laughed at the hypocritical local Dems for jumping to support a Big Scary Banker candidate with a former military background —
everything they love to hate with such passion. Just couldn’t shake out the time to wax poetic about it. He must be a self-funding candidate. Stephen J. Conkling Meredith

LETTERS WOW Trail is great & should have support of community leaders
Tim Lang will never cast a vote because his party told him to
To the editor, The WOW Trail is NOT a waste of taxpayer money. I’m disappointed to hear that a Belmont selectman feels that public investment in our regional recreation trail system is a waste. As a business alongside the WOW Trail, we have had the opportunity to witness and enjoy a real upgrade to our neighborhood. Where once there was nothing but broken glass, beer cans, debris and unsafe conditions along the railroad corridor, there is now a well maintained recreation trail with a steady flow of people that are out there for exercise, recreation or commuting of some sort. Where we used to experience people trespassing across our property via the railroad corridor, we now have none of that. It’s my understanding that our community has a tourist driven economy. If we want to continue to be competitive for tourism dollars that help keep us
To the editor, Over the past several years I have had the distinct privilege of working with Tim Lang professionally and civically. Tim has also been a valued friend for many years. Tim has distinguished himself as a leader in our community as a member of the Winnisquam Regional School District Budget Committee and our School Board. Tim also has volunteered his time as a member of the Sanbornton Budget committee. He is also coaching a middle school soccer team in his “off-time”! Tim is running for the State Representative and I encourage you to vote for him. In a time of representatives going to Concord and “Towing the party line”, Tim Lang is a leader who will bring fresh ideas to the table and represent Sanbornton incredibly well. If you ever ask Tim why he voted a cer-
going, than we had better get behind the WOW Trail and other efforts to allow tourists (and us locals) the chance to get around our beautiful area without always having to get in a car. I have no doubt that we will attract more people to our area when they can safely enjoy the WOW Trail by connecting our communities — from Meredith all the way to Franklin. We need to make it easier for all of us to get around safely without having to drive a car everywhere we go. How will our health care costs ever get under control if we cannot begin to regularly included exercise as part of our daily lives? For these reasons, the WOW Trail, and the other sections of this regional trail effort, should have the full support of our community leaders. Steven Cray Bayside Service Laconia
I heartily recommend Phil Preson to voters of Grafton Co. #9 To the editor, I write with pleasure today to recommend Phil Preston to the voters of Grafton County, District 9 (Grafton, Alexandria, Bristol, Bridgewater, Ashland). For nearly 30 years, I have had the privilege of serving in the NH House. From 2006-2010, I had the honor of serving as chair of the Judiciary Committee of the House. So impressed was I by him during the first two years of my tenure as chair that, when the position of Committee Clerk became vacant in 2008, I appointed Phil as clerk of the committee. Phil’s good humor, conscientiousness, thorough preparation, and efficiency were an asset to me and to the committee during his service as clerk.
Over and above that, I thought and still think him extraordinary, not the least for his ability to get along with everyone, regardless of party, despite the controversial issues and difficult people with whom we are sometimes associated in legislative life. If you think that’s easy, try it sometime. Phil is not an ideologue; he is firm and forthright in representing the views of his constituents, even when he does not happen to share them. He is always a gentleman, and a gentle man. I heartily recommend him to the voters of Grafton 9 for their consideration and support on Nov. 6th. Rep. David E. Cote Nashua
Andrew Hosmer took donations from 10 PACs in one period alone To the editor, If you want to see where a candidate’s vote will really stand, take a look at the fund raising report. These are the people and groups who have purchased the candidates loyalty, and their vote. It is all the more troubling when the money comes from SuperPACs, meaning corporate and other special interests. That’s why I was
all the more concerned to read that Andrew Hosmer is taking money from 10 different PACs in this fund raising period alone. Many of these PACs have donated the campaign maximum of $1,000 to Mr. Hosmer. For a special interest group to give $1,000 to a campaign, it makes one wonder, what exactly does their money buy?

tain way on a bill he will look you in the eye and give you his reasons. You will NEVER hear him say “That’s how my party told me to vote”. I’ve come to know Tim as someone deeply committed to his town, our district, his customers and his family. He is fair and open minded, fiscally responsible and even tempered. As well as being a small business owner in our community Tim is a former police officer. These experiences make him especially qualified in working at the statehouse and representing Sanbornton. Unfortunately my wife and I cannot cast a ballot for Tim as we live in Northfield. To our friends in Sanbornton, please vote for Tim Lang for state representative from Sanbornton. Thank you!

I’ve been very lucky to have such caring friends, both old & new To the editor, This is a belated thank you to the Laconia Police Department; specifically, Officers Don Kimtis and Kendra Neri and recruit Kristian Young for their help and diligence in finding my wheelchair, which was taken from my porch in September. I’d also like to especially thank Justin Daisy of Laconia, whose sharp eye discovered the wheelchair in a wooden area and was nice enough to report it. I’d like to continue my gratitude to Ralph Parrino
for the use of his electric wheelchair so that I could easily navigate through my business in downtown Laconia as well as to ATECH Services of Concord for the use of another wheelchair during my time of need. I’ve been very lucky to have such caring friends — those I’ve known for a very long time and new friends I’ve just met over the last several months. Thank you all! Charlie St. Clair Laconia
Dems create & expand programs & then find the money for them To the editor, Based upon listening to and reading letters from and about many candidates running for N.H. state offices, it has become evident that, across the board, we’re voting for a specific philosophy on Nov. 6. The Democrat philosophy creates, restores, and expands programs, then figures out how to pay for them, either by raising taxes and fees (smokers were targeted five times under the Kate Miller/Bill Johnson Legislature), raiding whatever savings N.H. has accumulated, or having a mystery solution for revenue and jobs that has yet to be specified, although resurrecting a $30 per auto surcharge has
recently come to light. The Republicans are holding firm with the philosophy that they take the known revenues, try not to raise taxes and fees, prioritize spending, and balance the budget. Since that Conservative philosophy comes closest to my own way of running our household, paying bills with a set amount of income each month and prioritizing spending, I’m supporting the Republicans: LAMONTAGNE, FORRESTER, WORSMAN, VADNEY, GREEMORE, and LEANDRO in the contested races for state offices on November 6.

LACONIA SCHOOL DISTRICT CHILD FIND NOTICE As mandated by Public Law 105-17, Education for All Children Act, and the New Hampshire Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities, public schools must provide special education services for all children determined to be educationally handicapped. The law also requires a school district to identify such children from birth to twenty-one years of age. This law applies to all children including those in non-public schools, pre-schools, and hospital settings. Parents or service providers who suspect that a child might have an educationally handicapping condition are encouraged to contact that child’s school. The Student Services Coordinators will provide information on the procedures for determining if a child is educationally handicapped and in need of special education services. For more detailed information about the policies, procedures, services, and building contact persons established in SAU #30 for special education, you may also contact Assistant Superintendent, Terri Forsten at (603) 524-5710.

LETTERS Every human, born or unborn, deserves equal protection of law
Cries of ‘My baby, my baby’ fell on Pres. Obama’s deaf ears
To the editor, The DIGNITY of HUMAN LIFE (author unknown), how soon we forget. Our Founding Fathers held to the biblical principle that human life is precious and created equal. In the Declaration of Independence it is God the “Creator” who endowed every man, woman, and child with the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” The signers called them selfevident truths. Each life has inherent dignity and matchless value, apparently from conception until death. The Founders knew that if God the “Creator” is taken out of the national value system, our rights as citizens are no longer absolute and become subject to the relative values of those who are in a position to make or change the laws. In truth, we are no longer equal in value as people and typically it is the weakest and most vulnerable members of society who are the first to pay the
To the editor, The classification of the November 2009 Fort Hood massacre, which killed 12 soldiers (one was pregnant) plus one civilian and wounded 31 has been classified as “workplace violence” by the Obama administration. Twelve of the wounded remain hospitalized to this day. I am outraged. In a new video released October 18, representing the victims and their families, one can see that they are also outraged. The downplayed classification denies a number of benefits due the victims which would be forthcoming if the action was classified and recognized for what it really was. Major Nidal Hasan was a practicing Muslim who was in regular e-mail contact with top Al-Quaida operative Anwar al-Awlaki. Awlaki, who was based in Yemen, was considered a top enemy of the US and was killed in an air-strike last year. Several of the surviving soldiers testified that Major Hasan shouted “ALLAHU AKBAR” as he opened fire on the unarmed soldiers. I am sorry, folks, but our president, who bows to the Saudi King, refuses to face the TRUTH in this matter. He would rather offend our troops than offend Muslims. This is not all. One of the soldiers killed was Pvt Francheska Valez, just returned from a 10 month tour in Iraq. She had been on base just 3 days and was being processed for maternity leave to her home in Chicago. She was shot in the stomach and was observed by several witnesses to be in a fetal position calling out, “My baby, My baby” before she died. In 2003, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act was signed into law by President Bush. This made it a federal crime to injure or kill a “child in utero” allowing the same degree of punishment as the same act committed against a living human being. This law came into being because of the many examples of assault against pregnant women that resulted in injury or death to the unborn child resulting in no right to prosecute for the offense against the unborn. This was because of the Supreme Court ruling in 1973 in Roe v Wade (Granting no rights to the unborn up to a
price as others take the role of determining what rights we do and do not have. Universal moral laws that promote the good of all people and protect the innocent and vulnerable give way to the selfish pursuits of those who demand the moral license to do what they want. The dignity of human life is not just a biblical principle; it is a principle of a decent life. Every human being, born or unborn, deserves the equal protection of the Law, and the value of life is not conditional upon its usefulness to others or to the state. Neither scientific progress nor the desire to help others can justify the sacrifice of any human being’s life or inherent dignity, whether it takes the form of abortion, euthanasia or any of the many new forms of biotechnology. We must reaffirm our steadfast determination to defend the sanctity of human life. Rep. Harry Accornero Laconia
If Romney uses foreign affairs aces against Obama he’ll win To the editor, Well Obama showed up for the second debate and guess what, the lame-stream media pronounced he won. Funny though he never did answer what percent of oil drilling permits he cut. Never gave a coherent plan on how he would cut the national debt, lower energy costs or create jobs, Romney did. When asked about who ordered the cuts in security in Libya and denied requests for additional security, the president dodged the question. Obama flat out lied saying he had called the Benghazi attack terrorism in his Rose Garden speech. When Romney called him on it, the CNN liberal, Candy Crowley, jumped to the president’s defense, incorrectly saying he had called it terrorism. He had not, he only refereed to terror-
ism in a general sense, never said the Benghazi attack was that. For two weeks the president and his people lied over and over to we Americans, claiming it was some demonstration that got out of control because of a low grade movie trailer nobody had ever heard of, let alone seen. But oh yea, never mind all that his left-leaning media cheer leaders pronounced his victory. Lets see what that debate turns out like? Foreign affairs and national defense will be on the table and Crowley and Obama gave Romney a handful of aces. If Romney uses them he likely will win the election, if he does not, then Obama will be the favorite and God help America. Steve Earle Hill
PUBLIC NOTICE Town of Gilmanton Planning Board Academy Building - 503 Province Road Gilmanton, New Hampshire 03237 You are hereby notified that the Gilmanton Planning Board will conduct the following Public Hearing(s) on Thursday, November 8, 2012, at the Academy Building, 503 Province Road, Gilmanton, NH. Public Hearings begin at 7:00 pm. PB Case #0212 – Property Owners, Robert E Price (Tax Map 415, Lot 45), Robert E. Price and Pamela Price(415-47) and Ivo S.

vague “viability”) plus the ruling in the simultaneous sister case, Doe v Bolton (Which gave the unborn no rights up to full term). Google the saga of Tracy Marciniac, who was assaulted by her husband five days before her baby was due, already named Zachariah, causing the death of the fully formed ready-for birth little boy. Her husband was tried and convicted of assault, but there was no penalty for killing his son. The law considered Zachariah a non-person with no right to life. Her testimony and picture holding her deceased son at his funeral was portrayed before the House and Senate and was huge in passing the federal act. The federal law applies to offenses occurring under federal jurisdiction, INCLUDING THE MILITARY. Thirty-six states have followed suit in part or in whole, but 14 have not. The murder of Pvt. Valez and her unborn child fits the federal legislation perfectly, an open and shut case. But our president, whose duty it is to see that Maj. Hasan is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, has purposely ignored this charge. It is simply because he believes the unborn have no rights whatever. You may say, “why bother with this charge because Hasan is already charged with 13 counts of murder.” Then why not only charge him on one or four or six counts, you pick the number, since the punishment would be the same. Why, then? Because it would be an insult to the other soldiers and their families not to prosecute each one and it is the duty of the government to do so. But the cries of Pvt. Sanchez calling out, “My baby, my baby,” who meant the world to her, but nothing to our president, falls on deaf ears. The reason for the omission of this 14th victim’s charge, is political. President Obama’s loyal constituency might think he might be recognizing a right to life in this case. To him and half of our population, it was only a bob of tissue in the womb of Francheska Valez with no right to life whatsoever. But in this case, the federal law is clear and valid. Even so, no prosecution will be forthcoming. I am outraged. George Brunstad Meredith
You think Romney will stand up against China’s trade practices? To the editor, If you believe that Mitt Romney, former one-term Governor of Massachusetts, will protect women’s rights by making sure that they receive equal pay for an equal job then you should vote for him. If you believe that he will protect worker’s rights by advocating for a living wage for the American worker, then vote for him. But before you do just ask the folks in Ohio and Michigan. They would be out of work if the auto companies had been allowed to go bankrupt. If you believe that a Mitt Romney would stand up for the American economy against China’s unfair trade practices then vote for him. But first
you need to ask the folks who lost their jobs in factories that made solar panels here in the United States how they are voting? Romney needed binders to identify women in Massachusetts who would help him run that state’s government while he was away. Unfortunately, there are no binders with the names of workers in auto workers, or workers who used to be in solar panel business. Barack Obama has what it takes in knowledge and experience to continue to be the president of the United States. November 6th please vote for President Barack Obama. Joe Denning Bristol

WE HAVE WHAT YOU NEED THIS FALL ...
I’m convinced Maggie Hassan & Ian Raymond deserve our votes To the editor, I listened to Maggie Hassan, Democratic Party candidate for governor, speaking to New Hampshire Sustainable Energy Association members in Tilton. She bridged a gap between what I perceive as a lack of national energy policy (apart from continuation of last century’s fossil fuel dependence) and things gone awry in New Hampshire regarding good jobs in vibrant businesses, sometimes due to energy costs. She explained that our 2-year governance cycle impedes advances in our businesses’ energy choices. Later one of the panelists, in a discussion of solar installation in New Hampshire homes and businesses, gestured the “yo-yo” effect of 2-year governance cycle changes that keep banks reluctant in financing. Maggie Hassan, as governor, would engage the stakeholders in developing a 10-year energy policy. A 10-year plan itself is tough to initiate, but this one is a necessary improvement. Maggie Hassan is far-sighted! She also drew applause from the 60-plus attending when she called for, as governor, leading the Legislature to restoring the $50 million cut from our public university and college system. We need a well-trained work force. We also need to keep our younger citizens in New Hampshire, with employment opportunities and a future. Else we become an aged population without youth revitalizing the economy and making life happen in our communities. Why should Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with lower tuition costs, reap the benefits of a brain-drain
out of New Hampshire? We met in Winnisquam Regional High School’s “cafetorium.” The building and adjacent middle school are ready to meet winter’s heating needs with a self-funded wood chip burning biomass boiler, and energy upgrades throughout all six district school buildings. The resulting energy savings are used to pay for the project’s construction costs. Local resident and House of Representatives candidate (Belknap County District 4) Ian Raymond, present for this meeting and for a biomass plant tour later, chaired Sanbornton’s Energy Committee. In that capacity in 2008 he studied the situation with the old oil/gas boiler, worked with an energy service company (Honeywell became 1st choice) and did grant-writing. Ultimately his diligence netted a $1.2-million grant, and $3.6 million in school improvements with no increase in local taxes. The project has saved taxpayers $320,000 since completion two years ago. The savings protected three teaching positions, heading for elimination with the current state Legislature’s funding cuts. My mid-day hours were well spent at this meeting, hearing gubernatorial candidate Hassan’s interest in a 10-year energy plan, and seeing the fruits of House of Representatives candidate Raymond’s engagement with his community’s needs, his own high school’s needs where his children now are students. Both Maggie Hassan and Ian Raymond deserve our votes. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton
For 30+ years I’ve worked & volunteered in towns of Carroll District 8 To the editor, As I campaign, I meet voters who are confused about Carroll County District #8 that I plan to represent in the N.H. Legislature. I am running in tandem with Chip Albee (Carroll #4) and Tom Lavender (Carrol #5). Carroll County District #8 is huge and especially diverse — Wakefield, Brookfield, Effingham, Ossipee, Moultonborough, Sandwich, and Tuftonboro. District #8 floats over Districts #4 and #5. For more than 30 years I have worked and volunteered in these communities. I have legislative experience and I’m a retired educator. In addition I have developed and coordinated many programs for this area, including the southern Carroll Outreach Program for Community
Action, the Sandwich-Moultonboro Senior Meals Program, and Families Matter in Carroll County. I’ve served in various roles on community and regional boards including serving as the volunteer advocate for 20 years for the Ossipee Childrens Fund and I’m currently serving my 21st year as a volunteer trustee for the communitybased Alfred Quimby Fund. When you look at the column of Democrats on your ballot you will find community-minded, honest politicians with strong voices who will work hard as public servants for the people of Carroll County. Please vote for me on November 6. Susan Wiley Sandwich

A Native American carved this 17-inch-long outline of a fish on a rock along the shore of Silver Lake some 4,000 years ago. At the natural mean high water mark of 468 feet set by DES, the carving is underwater, but it is exposed at 465 feet, the level favored by residents. (courtesy photos by Paul O’Connell)
SILVER LAKE from page one The issue first arose in 2004 when town officials informed residents submitting site plans and seeking building permits that according to DES the natural mean high water mark, which separates private and public property, was 468 feet. The state holds all surface waters in public trust and, for lakes of 10 acres or more, owns not only the water but also the land beneath it. The state’s ownership does not require a deed and its rights trump the metes and bounds in deeds to private property. At 468 feet, some 125 property owners at Silver Lake found that depending on the slope of the shoreline between one and 49 feet of their lots belonged to the state. At 465 feet one homeowner enjoys a sandy beach, but at 468 feet the same home is surrounded by water. Moreover, the natural mean high water mark also served as the “reference line” for the purposes of delineating buffers and regulating development as prescribed by the Comprehensive Shoreline Protection Act. The Silver Lake Association petitioned DES to reconsider its decision
and following an investigation, which included field work, the agency reaffirmed its original determination. Meanwhile, an amendment to the Comprehensive Shoreline Protection Act uncoupled the reference line from the natural mean high water mark. Last year DES agreed to lower the reference line to 465 feet, resolving the issue of the reference line while leaving the public trust boundary in dispute. When its appeals were denied, the association turned to the Legislature. Senator Jim Forsythe (R-Strafford) introduced legislation to establish the natural mean high water mark at 465 feet. In a letter to lawmakers, Commissioner Tom Burack of DES said that the agency intended to revisit its decision in light of fresh evidence presented by property owners and asked that the bill be shelved until the study was completed. As result, the bill was amended to permit property owners to use deeded land that “may be located below the public boundary,” either by repairing or replacing existing structures or by building new “water-related strucsee next page
Police seize records of Waterville Valley condo manager WATERVILLE VALLEY (AP) — Police in Waterville Valley, N.H., have seized accounting ledgers and other records from the property manager for 17 condominium associations that reported deficiencies with their bank statements. Police in the resort community executed a search warrant last week at Stone Property Management. They tell WMUR-TV the deficiencies in the statements are in the tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. Of the 35 condo associations in the area, 27 of
them use Stone Property Management for financial and building maintenance. No one has been arrested. Peter McGrath, an attorney representing Bill Stone and his son, Sean, of Stone Property, said the company is working with police. He said Bill Stone discovered the bookkeeping irregularities. Police have been in contact with the attorney general’s office and state police.
SAN JOSE, Costa Rica (AP) — A 6.6-magnitude earthquake struck Costa Rica’s Pacific coast on Tuesday, swaying buildings and sending people running out to the streets in the nation’s capital of San Jose. There were no immediate reports of major damage. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was
centered in the Guanacaste region of the Central American country, 38 miles (61 kilometers) away from the city of Liberia. It had a depth of 24.5 miles (39 kilometers), according to a preliminary report. The region suffered a powerful earthquake last month, when a 7.6 earthquake rattled the same coasts, causing panic, evacuations but minor damage.
NJ GIRL from page 2 15-year-old was also charged with luring. The boys’ names were not released because they are juveniles, but Dalton said his office is considering trying to have the case transferred to adult court. The boys turned themselves in with their attorneys, public defenders, but it could not be immediately determined who they are.
The girl’s body was found around 10 p.m. Monday in a recycling bin on a vacant property next to the home where the boys live, police said. The suspects had attended a community vigil for her shortly before the discovery, several residents said. Autumn’s BMX bike and other belongings were recovered from the boys’ home, the prosecutor said. see next page

from preceding page tures,” as authorized by federal, state and local permits. It also required DES to reassess the natural mean high water mark. The natural mean high water mark refers to a line on shore left by the common and usual rise and fall of water, marked by such physical characteristics such as shelving of the bank and changes in the type of soil and species of vegetation. Because Silver Lake has been a managed water body for at least a century, where flows and levels have been regulated by a series of upstream dams — Lakeport Dam, Avery Dam and Lochmere Dam — determining the natural mean high water mark is especially challenging. DES drew on historical data and two field surveys in 2006 in reaching its decision, but residents have added more evidence to the mix. Photographs taken upstream of the Lochmere Dam during the drawdown of Lake Winnisquam, reveal the stumps of mature trees in the riverbed, which are covered by water during normal flows, suggesting that natural water levels were below, perhaps well below, 468 feet. Likewise, residents note the outline of a fish, carved into the face of a boulder on the shore of the lake, which is exposed at water levels below 464.87 feet. It is one of several archaeological finds, including the remains of camp fires, that also offer evi-
dence of lower natural water levels. Last week, during the annual drawdown of Lake Winnisquam, the team collected data on the exposed tree stumps on the shoreline above Lochmere Dam. Jim Gallagher, chief of the bureau, explained that because the agency’s initial field work was confined to the shoreline below the dam, the data used to set the natural mean high water mark reflected the impact of managed flows since construction of the dam in 1910. The remains of trees upstream, which were flooded when the dam was built, offer evidence of the natural shoreline and water level before the river was dammed that could bear on the natural mean high water mark. Dan Mattaini, who with Andy Stout and Pat Bell undertook the recent study, said that the location and elevation of the stumps would be recorded in order to determine the elevation of the shoreline before the dam was built. In addition, samples were taken of the stumps, which would be analyzed to determine the species of the trees. He said that differentiating between wetland and upland species, together with determining how much of each year they were underwater, would provide evidence bearing on water levels in Silver Lake before the construction of Lochmere Dam.

from preceding page He did not detail all the items, but a backpack matching a description of the girl’s was also seen being taken out. One of the three teenage brothers who friends said live at the house traded BMX bike parts, according to a according to a young man, Corey Hewes, 19, who said he was among those who traded with him. Neighbors also said the house was a place where teens frequently hung out and had parties. The home is just blocks from Autumn’s house and from the town hall, where thousands of people gathered for the tearful candlelight vigil to pray for her safe return in this town of 8,000 about 25 miles south of Philadelphia. “The search for Autumn is over,” Dalton said Tuesday morning in the first of two news conferences, at which he was asked to assure residents they were safe with an apparent childkiller on the loose. The girl’s great-uncle, Paul Spadofora, thanked the community for its help in the search. “There’s evil everywhere, even in the small town of Clayton,” Spadofora said. Tuesday was trash collection day, and many residents had dragged their trash cans and recycling bins to the curb the night before. The cov-
ered recycling bins are collected by an automated truck that picks them up and dumps the contents into the back. Police barricaded the block Tuesday morning, and friends and neighbors came by. Some mothers said they were keeping their kids out of school for the day. Even before the body was found, students reported that Spirit Week had been canceled because of the sorrow. One young man rode a bike up, sat on a porch of a home and cried, then biked away. Clayton Mayor Thomas Bianco walked to the scene, cried, hugged a police officer and gave a brief statement to the gathered reporters. “You hear about it in other places but never think it would happen in our little town,” he said. Autumn was last seen around 12:30 p.m. Saturday pedaling her bike away from the home where she lives with her father, her two siblings, her father’s girlfriend and the girlfriend’s children, authorities said. Relatives said they believed she was heading to see a friend, and they became worried only after she did not return by her 8 p.m. curfew. Sunday morning, her disappearance became not only a crisis but a townwide cause in Clayton. Volunteers by the hundred joined the search, scour-
ing malls, nearby towns and passing out fliers. By Monday evening, officials were thanking the volunteers for their help but asking them to call it a night. Hundreds of people returned anyway for the vigil. Spadofora, the
great-uncle, said he hoped the town could gather again a week later, with Autumn back, with candles to mark her birthday. Instead, the community awoke Tuesday to news that her body had been recovered.
WALK-IN from page one to the appropriate setting. Health insurance companies, Racicot explained, are increasingly directing patients to the least expensive point of service. Since Convenience Care will qualify, patients will be able to optimize their coverage. He said that the clinic will benefit employers, who will be less likely to exceed the limits of their workers compensation coverage when employees require treatment for injuries suffered on the job. Meanwhile, the walk-in clinic will reduce congestion in the emergency room, while enabling personnel to concentrate their energies on genuine medical emergencies . Racicot said that LRGH had planned to open the walk-in clinic in the summer, but was delayed by clearing a number of regulatory hurdles. He said that the renovation and reconfiguration of space adjacent to the main lobby is nearly complete and hopes the new service will be avail-
able in November. Meanwhile, ConvenientMD , LLC, of Portsmouth plans to break ground for a similar, free-standing facility in Concord as soon as next week. According to material provided by Max Puyanic, the company’s chief executive officer, patients going to emergency room in New Hampshire waited an average of nearly four hours and paid co-pays of between $100 and $250 for treatment in 2009. The clinic anticipates swerving patients within a 30-mile radius, which would include Laconia. Racicot acknowledged that private providers have been opening walkin clinics for some time, especially in affluent communities and neighborhoods and that LRGHealthcare was responding to the trend. He suggested that placing its walk-in clinic in the hospital, with ready access to an extensive range of medical services, gave LRGH an advantage over freestanding counterparts.

4 candidates for 2 House seats representing San’ton & Tilton answer voters’ questions BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — Incumbent Rep. Dennis Fields of Sanbonton and the three challengers for the two seats in Belknap County District 4 — Republican Tim Lang and Democrats Jane Alden and Ian Raymond - squared off Friday night in a town-hall style debate in the Old Town Hall. The first salvo was fired by Tilton Selectman Chair Pat Consentino who challenged Fields’s commitment to Tilton by telling him she was “saddened” that he introduced himself as a representative from Sanbornton. District 4 includes both townships. “You also represent Tilton,” she said, adding Fields didn’t respond to overtures by the Tilton selectmen to come to town and discuss some of the issues Tilton faces. “I have been there many times,” said Fields who said the town hadn’t contacted him in the year since redistricting. “I go there and I have not been contacted.” Seemingly, at the heart of the matter is Fields’s vote to support the redistricting plan that kept Tilton and Sanbornton as one district. Tilton voters felt the town should have had it’s own representative and should have been separated from Sanbornton. “Don’t say I don’t help you. I do.” Fields said, adding he’s is always stopping by Tilton Town Hall and talking to the Town Clerk or the Town Administrator. Responding to former Representative Gail Morrison, Fields said he didn’t support carrying guns in the Statehouse and on state college campuses and he voted no. Fields said he would always support defending one’s home if the threat was inside the house but said told the audience he thought he voted “no” on expanding the use of deadly force when outside one’s home. According to the 2011 House record, Fields voted “yes” on HB-210 on March 15, 2011. Of the four candidates for the two seats, Fields is the only one with a legislative history. Incumbent Republican Bill Tobin, also of Sanbornton, chose not to seek reelection. Democrat Jane Alden is the only candidate from Tilton this time around. A Kentucky native, she told the audience she grew up on a tobacco farm and knows that when Legislature rolled back the tobacco tax, none of it went to the tobacco farmers. “It went to the big companies,” she said. She said she thinks there is too much debate in the Legislature and people ought to start working together. Alden said the only way she felt someone north of Concord could serve was to take care of small businesses. She also said she opposed expanded gaming. In response to LRGH Senior Vice President of Provider Relations and Contracting Andy Patterson’s question about whether health care is the responsibility of the individual or the government, she said both bear some
responsibility. When he asked how she would reduce the Department of Health and Human Services Budget, Alden said she would have to look at it and see what was being spent where. In response to another question about food stamp eligibility and abuse, she also said she did some research into drug testing for those who accept state aid and learned it would be very costly and not very effective. For Republican candidate and Winnisquam Regional School Board member Tim Lang, he thinks the Electronic Benefits Transfer (welfare) program for New Hampshire need to be re-evaluated. He complimented the Legislature for expanding EBT use to farmer’s markets but said he sees abuse by people who buy soda and other of life’s non-essentials with their benefits. He said he would support drug testing for those who get state assistance. As to President Barack Obama’s health care law, Lang said as a small businessman it would be cheaper for him to pay the fine and not provide his employees with health insurance. Lang, a former police officer in Northfield, said he doesn’t think he would support expanded gaming but said he would research it more before he came to a final decision. Lang also said he supports school voucher program that would send a portion of a student’s state aid to private and religious schools. “Vouchers take away from school,” said Sanbornton Democrat Ian Raymond, adding voucher programs “slimed” their way around the constitutional prohibitions against the separation of church and state, adding once the money got into the private schools there would be no transparency surrounding its use. Raymond is best known for his project that brought biomass energy to the Winnisquam Regional School District. He said the construction created 39 jobs, three of which are permanent, and overall, the project has saved the schools $321,000 over the past two years. With New Hampshire about 90 percent dependent on fossil fuels, Raymond said biomass has multiplier effect of five times — meaning for every one dollar spent on renewable energy there is five dollars of benefit into the state’s economy through jobs and spending. If elected, Raymond said he would try and reverse the state’s recent withdrawal from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a non-profit regional organization that develops a maintains a system of monitoring carbon emissions and provided development help to states to lower the use of fossil fuels. “We pay for it regardless but we’ve lost the benefit,” he said. Raymond also said cap and trade, a program that actually creates a market for carbon emissions, is now being examined in China — a county 90 percent dependent on fossil fuels.

ROOF from page one had but assumed if the selectmen approved the roof replacement that it would go out to bid. The subject was briefly discussed at last week’s Budget Committee meeting when Pat LaBonte said he thought the estimate he heard about was too high. A look from the ground shows the asphalt shingles are curling and the ceiling above the kitchen shows
dark spots from leaking. Carrier said the roof is the original roof from when the fire station was built in 1996. Town Administrator Scott Dunn said the replacement roof was in the Capital Improvement Plan for 2014 but, from what he understands, should not be delayed for two years. Dunn said the selectmen will be discussing the roof at tonight’s meeting.
SHARK from page 2 surfer called for help, but Solorio was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene. The Air Force said he was not affiliated with the base, which allows public access to some of its beaches. All beaches on the base’s coastline will be closed for at least 72 hours, as a precaution, Col. Nina Armagno said Tuesday evening. The type of shark involved and other details were under investigation. It was the latest shark attack fatality at Surf Beach, about 150 miles northwest of Los Angeles. In October 2010, Lucas Ransom, a 19-year-old student at the University of California, Santa Barbara, died when a shark nearly severed his leg as he body-boarded. Hundreds of miles south near the coast of San
Diego, a 15-foot great white shark is believed to have killed triathlete David Martin in 2008. There were no shark warning signs posted at Surf Beach on Tuesday, said Lt. Erik Raney, adding that beaches don’t typically post such notices unless the location had a recent shark sighting. “We’ve had shark sightings up and down the Santa Barbara coastline pretty frequently recently,” said Raney, adding that the sightings are well-publicized. Last month, warning signs were posted at Santa Barbara Harbor, about 65 miles southeast of Surf Beach, after a 14-foot great white shark was spotted by a surfer. In July, a man escaped injury near Santa Cruz after being thrown from his kayak by a great white shark that bit through the vessel. An almost identical incident occurred off the coast of Cambria in May. Death by shark attack is rare. An average of 65 shark attacks occur each year around the world that typically result in two or three deaths, according to the Pew Environment Group.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Darby Conley
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Avoid routinely wasting time. New technology or services will help you simplify the processes of your daily life. What was once difficult suddenly will be easy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Let people know what you’re up to and the timeframe for your plan. There are many distractions around now, and without specific markers of time to keep you on track, you could drift off course. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You probably don’t remember last night’s dreams, but they were healing in some way. So what was difficult yesterday will be better today because your mind was made fresh. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being a giver, you’re always pleased when what’s needed is exactly what you can supply. This happens today. You’ll sense a strong emotional need in another person, and you’ll know you can help. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What looks like individual success is often the effort of an entire team. You could handle a task alone, but it won’t be much fun that way. Be on the lookout for new sources of support. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). The next three months feature an enlivening challenge. You may have to coax yourself along at points, but once you get in the spirit of it, you’ll be unstoppable. December features an upgrade of your home, wardrobe or vehicle. January is romantic. March shows you in a different part of the world. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 24, 13 and 19.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your perception of yourself will be colored by the reaction you see on the faces of others. That’s why it will be important to seek like-minded peers who share your brand of humor. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Difficult people will choose the opposite point of view from yours whether or not it’s how they really feel. Their objections might be ridiculous, but their willingness to object will be constant. Avoid these types now. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s your turn to be effortlessly loveable. No amount of trying or not trying to fit in will matter; you’re simply magnetic. You will be embraced, both metaphorically and actually. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re ready for adventure, but the adventure isn’t quite ready for you yet. Arrangements are still coming together. Trust that things are moving in the right direction while you wait. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No matter what you know, there are always deeper levels of knowledge to reach. This applies to your work today. It’s like you’re understanding something for the first time all over again. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Being right is not as important to you as being happy. In this regard, you’re not like the others around you. You’ll be off having a good time while they fight to prove their rightness. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When what you’re doing looks wonderful, others may be tempted to copy you. You can prevent anyone from stealing your thunder by keeping your work under wraps.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 24, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 24, the 298th day of 2012. There are 68 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 24, 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis; the blockade was aimed at interdicting the delivery of offensive weapons to the island. On this date: In 1537, Jane Seymour, the third wife of England’s King Henry VIII, died 12 days after giving birth to Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia (west-FAY’lee-uh) ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire. In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. In 1901, widow Anna Edson (correct) Taylor became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. In 1939, Benny Goodman and his orchestra recorded their signature theme, “Let’s Dance,” for Columbia Records in New York. Nylon stockings were first sold publicly in Wilmington, Del. In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect. In 1952, Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in Detroit, “I shall go to Korea” as he promised to end the conflict. (He made the visit over a month later.) In 1962, “The Manchurian Candidate,” a Cold War thriller starring Frank Sinatra, was first released. In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who’d broken Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Conn., at age 53. In 1987, 30 years after it was expelled, the Teamsters union was welcomed back into the AFL-CIO. (However, the Teamsters disafilliated themselves from the AFL-CIO in 2005.) In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays became the first non-U.S. team to win the World Series as they defeated the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, in Game 6. One year ago: President Barack Obama offered mortgage relief to hundreds of thousands of Americans during a visit to Las Vegas. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, visiting Yokota Air Base in Japan, lashed out at North Korea for “reckless and provocative” acts and criticized China for a secretive expansion of its military power. The Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 for a 3-2 World Series edge. Today’s Birthdays: Football Hall-of-Famer Y.A. Tittle is 86. Rock musician Bill Wyman is 76. Actor F. Murray Abraham is 73. Movie director-screenwriter David S. Ward is 67. Actor Kevin Kline is 65. Former NAACP President Kweisi Mfume (kwahEE’-see oom-FOO’-may) is 64. Country musician Billy Thomas (Terry McBride and the Ride) is 59. Actor Doug Davidson is 58. Actor B.D. Wong is 52. Rock musician Ben Gillies (Silverchair) is 33. Singer-actress Monica Arnold is 32. Rhythm-andblues singer Adrienne Bailon (3lw) is 29. R&B singer-rapper-actor Drake is 26. Actress Shenae Grimes is 23.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’ve been out of work for two years. My family has suffered greatly, and my daughter’s mild depression turned severe when this started affecting her life. Recently, my in-laws were kind enough to let the three of us move in so we could save what little we have. But the summer could not have gone worse. My mother-in-law has turned into a bully. She doesn’t approve of how I raise my daughter and has been taking it out on the child. Mom calls her hurtful names and has told her that all of our financial problems are her fault. My husband has spoken to his mother numerous times, and I have, as well. But she is stubborn. My daughter has a history of self-harm and low self-esteem, so we began to work on alternate living situations. Sadly, I know the best place for my daughter right now is not with her stepfather and me. I’ve been the one to support her and be there her whole life. Now she’s living with her biological father, and it breaks my heart. He’s a good dad, but I feel like I let her down. I write today because I am having a hard time forgiving my mother-in-law. I understand that our conflicting parenting styles can be hard on her in her house. What I can’t understand is why she’s taking it out on my daughter. -- Mother in Mud Dear Mother: You made the right choice to get your daughter out of the home of your bullying, stubborn mother-in-law. While we would have recommended that your husband put his foot down a little harder, apparently neither of you could set boundaries that stick. Until this situation is resolved, it may not be possible to forgive the woman for her unconscionable behavior. Please find a way to get out of there as soon as possible. Dear Annie: I’ve been with “Hank” for what seems like a hundred years. He is an alcoholic and a drug user. Last year,
in an effort to save our marriage, he was in and out of several rehabs. None worked. Here’s the real problem. While in rehab, he relapsed and was kicked out, along with several others. I refused to pick him up, so all of them stayed in a hotel room together. While there, Hank used one of the other addicts (a female) to get drugs and alcohol. He promised her that they were going to be together. Hank is a great father to our children, but I cannot find it in my heart to let this go. He claims there was no affair, but I don’t believe it. It is weighing heavily on my heart. How can I forgive him? -- Lost Dear Lost: Addicts say and do whatever they have to in order to score what they need. Your problems are bigger than whether or not Hank slept with another woman. He may love his children, but he is a terrible role model. Until he gets clean and sober, he is no good to any of you. Please contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) and Nar-Anon (nar-anon.org) and ask for help. Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Not a Meanie,” whose sister misinterprets everything she says. I could have written that. My sister hears only what she wants to hear. When making plans for anything, large or small, “Ellen” would hear something entirely different from what I said. She would then complain to our middle sister, and it could take weeks to fix the misunderstanding. My solution was to email all plans to Ellen and copy our other sister. Then there was a written record and no chance of my looking like the bad guy. “Meanie” should try this. It will save her a lot of frustration. -- Been There in Hamden, Conn. Dear Hamden: This is a great idea -- as long as you communicate only in writing.
