Council goes green at Main & Oak Streets
LACONIA — The City Council last night voted four-to-two to change the planned traffic signals at the intersection of Main Street and Oak Street. City Manager Scott Myers told the councilors that the intersection will include a dedicated lane for vehicles traveling northbound on Main Street to make left turns on to Oak Street when signaled by a green arrow. Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) asked why left turns would be permitted see GReeN page 8

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
WEIRS BEACH — Two tolls of the M/S Mount Washington’s bell announced the arrival of the ashes of Dave Barrett and two more tolls of the ship’s bell announced their arrival on deck. Barrett, the director of N.H.
Safety Services who died last week at age 64, was honored yesterday afternoon by family, friends and fellow law enforcement officers who packed the Mount to say their final goodbyes. His ashes arrived a Marine Patrol vessel escorted by two other Marine Patrol vessels,
their blue lights flashing as they made the turn on Lake Winnipesaukee, coming north from the agency’s headquarters at the Glendale docks. People clustered on the starboard side of the Mount while uniformed police officers from all walks of law enforcement, including the Department of
Fish and Game in the bright red and green official uniforms, lined the port side to await the honor guard. A Marine Patrol Honor guard bore his ashes to a table aboard the Mount that adorned with flowers and pictures of Barrett portraying see BaRRett page 12

Mystery as to who shot N.C. high school student during lunch
FAY E T T E V I L L E , N.C. (AP) — A 15-yearold student was shot in the neck with what appeared to be a smallcaliber bullet during a lunch period outside a North Carolina high school Monday and police have not been able to find the gun or any suspects. Catilyn Abercrombie was in fair condition after surgery at Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, according to sheriff’s office spokeswoman Debbie Tanna. Abercrombie was able to respond to questions by nodding and shaking her head, Tanna said. Cape Fear High School and a nearby middle school were locked down for hours before students were allowed to go home. Police were still combing the rural, wooded area on the outskirts of Fayetteville, searching for clues. “Right now, we don’t know what happened or who’s responsible,” Tanna said. Police are investigating several possibilities see SHOT page 24

Deceased Maine man’s storage unit hid a secret; remains found inside may be that of girlfriend who disappeared 28 years ago LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — A man who died this month at age 80 nearly took a secret to his grave — a secret that was discovered only after his family went through his belongings in a storage unit. Inside an unplugged freezer, they found a set of human remains that investigators believe may be those of the man’s girlfriend, who disappeared in 1983, when she was 29. Now investigators are trying to confirm the identity of the body, the cause of death and who may have been involved. State police detectives were awaiting results of an autopsy being performed Monday. DNA tests may be needed to confirm whether the body was that of Kitty Wardwell, who was last seen with her onagain, off-again boyfriend Frank Julian.
“The answers are going to come from the medical examiner’s office,” said Stephen McCausland, spokesman for the Maine Department of Public Safety. The storage unit was rented in 1992 by Julian, who died on Oct. 1. Back in 1983, he occasionally lived with Wardwell 100 miles away in Holden. Julian told police in New Hampshire that he last saw Wardwell after an argument that June, when he dropped her off at a motel in Salem, N.H., before returning to Maine, police said. She was reported missing the following month by a close friend. A state police investigation indicated she was likely a victim of foul play in Maine. Because of that, the investigation officially remained open.
The freezer was inside a 10-by-10 storage unit at Moore Self Storage Facility in Lewiston, where Julian dutifully paid in advance for the unit, coming around every three months to pay in person, owner Gary Boilard said. The last payment was made on Sept. 6, so the unit was rented through November, he said. The storage company’s previous owner kept good records, indicating Julian rented the unit 19 years ago on Oct. 6, Boilard said. Boilard described the situation as “bizarre.” “How do you keep a secret that long?” he said. The family was going through boxes inside the storage unit when the remains were see REMAINS page 10
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — After giving a speech that emphasized the Islamization of Libya, the head of the transitional government on Monday tried to reassure the Western powers who helped topple Moammar Gadhafi that the country’s new leaders are moderate Muslims. Just as in neighboring Tunisia and Egypt, Islamists have emerged from yet another Arab Spring uprising as the most powerful group in the country. How far they will go will be decided at the ballot box — in Tunisia this week, in Egypt in November and in Libya within eight months.
National Transitional Council leader Mustafa Abdul-Jalil said Sunday that Islamic Sharia law would be the main source of legislation, that laws contradicting its tenets would be nullified, and that polygamy would be legalized. “I would like to assure the international community that we as Libyans are moderate Muslims,” said Abdul-Jalil, who added that he was dismayed by the focus abroad on his comments Sunday on polygamy. A State Department spokeswoman said the U.S. was encouraged that he had clarified his earlier statement.
The stir created by Abdul-Jalil’s address in Benghazi, the eastern Libyan city where the anti-Gadhafi uprising was born in midFebruary, came as international pressure mounted on him to investigate the circumstances of Gadhafi’s death. Abdul-Jalil ordered an inquiry to establish whether the deposed Libyan leader was killed in an execution-style slaying after being captured alive Thursday by fighters in his hometown of Sirte or whether he died in the crossfire as government officials have suggested. see LIBYA page 27

Democrat Maggie Hassan running for governor
CONCORD (AP) — A former New Hampshire state senator is expected to announce that she’s running for governor. Democrat Maggie Hassan of Exeter plans to announce her candidacy on Tuesday in Manchester. She’s the second candidate who’s entered the race. WMUR-TV reports that Republican Ovide Lamontagne is the only other candidate so far since Gov. John Lynch announced in September that he would not seek another term. Hassan served in the state Senate from 2004 until 2010.
Fleeing Mass. man was killed by multiple gunshots
PELHAM (AP) — An autopsy shows that a 21-year-old Massachusetts man died of multiple gunshot wounds after he led police on a chase and came at officers with a handgun. Alberto Pagan, of Dracut, Mass., was killed in Pelham, N.H., early Saturday. Attorney General Michael Delaney says the confrontation came after Pagan fled a domestic violence incident in Lowell, Mass., and drove to New Hampshire. Delaney said armed with a handgun, Pagan got out of the car while officers tried to persuade him to surrender. But instead of surrendering, Pagan got back in his car and drove onto a road where an unmarked cruiser forcibly stopped the vehicle in front of a home. Delaney said Pagan advanced toward officers with his handgun. Several officers fired at him, killing him.

Bachmann’s 5 staffers in N.H. quit, saying national campaign chiefs lied & were dismissive of state’s voters CONCORD (AP) — Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann’s former New Hampshire staffers say they were deceived and treated as second-class citizens before they quit in frustration last week. In a news release, the five former staffers said they hold no ill will toward the Minnesota congresswoman, but they could not continue working for her given their treatment by members of her national team. They did not get into details, but characterized the national team’s behavior as “rude, unprofessional, dishonest, and at times cruel,” toward the New Hampshire staff, and “abrasive, discourteous, and dismissive” of the state’s voters. “These are our neighbors and our friends, and some within the national team treated them more as a nuisance than as potential supporters,” the group wrote. Bachmann’s spokeswoman did not return a call seeking comment Monday. Bachmann has focused her campaign on Iowa and South Carolina, where her social conservative message has more appeal. She has visited New Hampshire just twice since announcing her campaign in late June, and during her latest trip earlier this month, blamed her absence on the August debate in Congress over raising the nation’s debt limit. While other candidates have been traveling to New Hamp-
shire last week and this week to formally sign up to get on the ballot for the yet-to-be scheduled New Hampshire primary, Bachmann’s campaign told the secretary of state’s office last week it might send her paperwork by mail. In their statement issued Sunday, the former staffers also tried to clarify confusion that arose Friday when Bachmann’s national spokeswoman said she had not been notified that any New Hampshire workers had quit. The group said Jeff Chidester, Bachmann’s New Hampshire campaign manager, quit on Thursday, sending an e-mail to a national official saying that while he was “done,” others might be interested in staying if national officials reached out to them. The other four staffers quit on Friday after their efforts to get in touch with the national team to discuss their concerns were ignored, they said. The staffers said all five of them had been fulltime, paid employees until Sept. 11, when they were asked to temporarily go “off payroll” due to financial concerns. “It saddens this team to see a dedicated patriot — a person so desperately needed in the White House — sequestered behind a wall of pretense, guarded by political operatives consumed by their own egos,” the group wrote.
Somersworth man rescued from Mount Major CONCORD (AP) — Three college students and an Alton man have been rescued in separate hiking incidents in New Hampshire. New Hampshire Fish and Game officers say the students had become stranded partway up Cannon Cliffs as darkness fell Sunday. The men were equipped with climbing gear and lights, but were not prepared to deal with overnight mountain tem-
peratures dipping into the 20s. They had set out at 5:30 a.m. but had not reached the top of the cliff by 8 p.m. They used a cell phone to call for help. Also Sunday, 46-year-ld Brian Pflanz (FLAHNTS) of Somersworth was rescued on Mount Major on Sunday night after he became disoriented, lost the trail near the summit and slipped and fell on a mossy area. He was not hurt, but called for help.

Forest Society’s perceived bias challenged at Northern Pass forum in Franklin By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
FRANKLIN — Sparks flew but the tone of the discussion remained remarkably civil as opponents and proponents of the proposed $1.1-billion Northern Pass proposal had their say at an information session held here Saturday. Nearly 100 people turned out for the meeting, hosted by the New Hampshire Forest Society, which was held at the Webster Place Chapel at the former New Hampshire Orphanage complex. The Forest Society has already come out in opposition to the project as it currently proposed. It envisions a 140-mile long direct current 1,200 megawatt transmission line built from Northern New Hampshire to Franklin, where the power would be converted to alternating current and travel through a 40-mile transmission line to PSNH’s Deerfield substation for distribution across southern New England. Stakes are high for the city, which stands to reap a property tax windfall estimated at $4.2-million annually from the $353-million conversion station project, increasing the city’s total assessed valuation by 60-percent from it’s current $582 million and potentially cutting the property tax rate by $5.60 per thousand. But while the project remains popular in the city, it has run into widespread opposition in the other 30 communities through which the giant transmission lines, supported by towers 80 feet to 115 feet tall, would pass. Almost all of those communities have gone on record opposing the project, maintaining that the new towers would mar the landscape and severely impact tourism as well as lower property values. In explaining the society’s opposition to the present proposal, Will Abbott, the Forest Society’s vice president of policy and land management, said “I never have seen such a visceral reaction in the 30 years I’ve been in New Hampshire” as he has to the Northern Pass project. He said that the project is a partnership between Northern Pass Transmission LLC, a New Hampshire company established by Northeast Utilities, Public Service Company of New Hampshire’s parent company, and NSTAR and HQ Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of Hydro Quebec. Hydro Quebec, the major funder for the project, is a government run enterprise which is mandated by Quebec law to sell power at 2.79 cents per kilowatt hour in Quebec and is trying to increase its revenues through the sale of hydropower throughout the Northeast according to Abbott. He said it currently exports 10-percent of all its power, which accounts for 22-percent of its income, and wants to expand

that to 12-percent, which would account for 38-percent of its income. Abbott said that while the society is aware of the benefits of renewable hydro power, the organization’s trustees oppose the project in its present form because they believe that “We would host a 180-mile scar on the landscape and reap few real benefits.’’ He said that the society has an obligation to defend the conservation lands which would be impacted by the project, noting “that in central and northern New Hampshire the environment is the economy.” Abbott also questioned the impact of the project on New Hampshire’s six current wood fired electrical generating plants and whether or not the New Hampshire jobs at those plants and the income they provide for loggers would remain. He said that there is currently not enough good information a make a decision and suggested that more study was needed on a proposal by opponents of the overhead lines that the lines be buried underground or that alternate transmission corridors be used. see next page WEIRS BEACH

Approaching anniversary of unsolved murder in Gilford, family of ‘Bobbie’ Miller expected to make reward available
CONCORD — New Hampshire Attorney General Michael A. Delaney, New Hampshire State Police Colonel Robert L. Quinn, and Gilford Police Chief Kevin Keenan announced Monday that they are continuing to seek the public’s assistance with any information relating to the 2010 murder of Roberta “Bobbie” Miller in here Gilford home. Miller’s body was found inside her home on Country Club Road approximately one year ago, on Monday, November 1, 2010. Her death was ruled to be a homicide due to gunshot wounds. Investigators have been able to further narrow the time of her death to between 4 p.m. on Sunday October 31st and 5:00 p.m. on Monday November 1st. To date, numerous leads and tips have been received and reviewed. Nonetheless, the public’s help is still needed in this investigation, the officials said. Anyone who may have knowledge of any circumstances surrounding Miller’s death is urged to contact the New Hampshire State Police Major Crime Unit at (603) 2238573, or the New Hampshire State Police Tipline at (603) 223-3960 or the Gilford Police at 527-4737. Anyone who spoke with Bobbie Miller or saw her Halloween weekend of last year, especially between 4 p.m. on Sunday and 5 p.m. on Monday, is strongly encouraged to call the New Hampshire State Police.

from preceding page Abbott said that Northern Pass spokesmen have said that it would cost 10 times as much to bury the lines underground but that other projects are underway which are utilizing under ground cables, including the Champlain-Hudson Power Express project would have a power line running 420 miles from Quebec to Connecticut and whose lines would pass under Lake Champlain and the Hudson River. Another underground line project involving wind power produced in Maine is being undertaken by National Grid Abbott said, noting that the line would carry power to northern Massachusetts. “90-percent of the opposition to this project goes away if you take away the overhead lines,’’ said Abbott, who said Northern Pass should withdraw its proposal and “go back to the drawing board and come back with Plan B.’’ He also had some questions for Franklin, asking if the city was aware that depreciation of the converter station equipment could lower the amount they will receive in property taxes Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield said that city leaders fully understand the impact: “I can assure you we absolutely understand the revenue impact for our city. The project is actually going to cost about $100-million more than what would generate that $4.2-million for the city each year.” The projection is based on a $250-million, rather than a $353-million investment in the plant. Merrifield also questioned the Forest Society’s commitment to Quebec hydropower, noting that it had looked favorably on bringing the power into the state in the past. Abbott said that the current proposal wasn’t before the members of the Governor’s Climate Change Task Force of which he was a member at that time, making it a different issue. Merrifield commented that it was not consistent to favor importing hydropower but then to oppose the means by which it would be transported. Abbott’s presentation came under fire by former State Representative Lee Webb, who said that he
was hoping to hear pros and cons rather than just objections to the Northern Pass proposal. “The sign outside says ‘Northern Pass: Is it Good for NH?’ I think that’s dishonest. If you think this is not good for New Hampshire at least be honest at the outset,’’ said Webb, who said that other than that he has great respect for the Forest Society and the good things it has done for the state. Also taking issue with the society’s position was John Barker of Hill, who lives in the scenic Murray Hill section of town and said that he family has been opposed to power lines passing through its property ever since 1938. “But I’m for this 100-percent. We’re going to need more power and it’s clean energy. Come on people, this is a global world. You can’t just think of New Hampshire,” he said, indicating that he thought the Forest Society opposed the project “because it gets its income from the land’’ Al Chase of Franklin said that he was concerned over small, independent power plants if the project is built and what the transmission lines would make the state look like. “This is going to make one wicked scar in the state of New Hampshire. I don’t think the state of New Hampshire deserves it.” But City Councilman Bob Sharon, who was wearing a green Northern Pass tee-shirt, said that every community through which the line passes will receive an economic benefit and that he didn’t think that “a few telephone poles will keep people from coming to visit New Hampshire.’’ George Wright of Campton suggested that the power lines go down the I-93 corridor underground so that the $68 million a year in right of way rental fees can go the state, not Northern Pass, while Joe Drinon of Chichester suggested that the opposition to buried lines is because Northern Pass wouldn’t get the $68-million in right-of-way rental fees. He also said that the lowering of real estate values for those communities through which the line passes will have dire consequences and actually reduce revenues for those towns.

What holds us together? In Federalist 2, John Jay looks out at a nation of a common blood, faith, language, history, customs and culture. “Providence,” he writes, “has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people — a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion ... very similar in their manners and customs ...” Are we still that “one united people” today? Or has America become what Klemens von Metternich called Italy: “a mere geographical expression”? In “Suicide of a Superpower,” out this week, I argue that the America we grew up in is disintegrating, breaking apart along the fault lines of politics, race, ethnicity, culture and faith; that the centrifugal forces in society have now become the dominant forces. Our politics are as poisonous as they have been in our lifetimes. Sarah Palin was maligned as morally complicit in the murder attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Terms like “terrorists” and “hostage-takers” are routinely used on Tea Party members who one congressman said want to see blacks “hanging on a tree.” Half a century after the civil rights revolution triumphed, the terms “racist” and “racism” are in daily use. We remain, said Eric Holder in calling us a “nation of cowards,” as socially segregated as ever. “Outside the workplace, the situation is even more bleak in that there is almost no significant interaction between us. On Saturdays and Sundays, America ... does not, in some ways, differ significantly from the country that existed some 50 years ago.” He is not altogether wrong in that. In California’s prisons and among her proliferating ethnic gangs, a black-brown civil war has broken out. Yet, by 2042, there will be 66 million black folks and 135 million Hispanics here, the latter concentrated in the states bordering Mexico. What holds us together, then? We are not now and will not then be “descended from common ancestors.” We will consist of all the races, cultures, tribes and creeds of Earth — a multiracial, multicultural, multiethnic, multilingual stew of a nation that has never before existed, or survived. The parallels that come to mind are the Habsburg Empire that flew apart after World War I, and the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia that disintegrated after the Cold War. No more will we all speak the same language. We will be bilingual and bi-national. Spanish radio and TV stations are already the fastest growing. In Los Angeles, half the people speak a language other than English in their own homes. As for “professing the same religion,” where 85-percent of Ameri-
cans were Christians in 1990, that is down to 75 percent and plummeting. The old Christian churches — Presbyterian, Methodist, Lutheran and especially Episcopalian — are splitting, shrinking and dying. Where three in four Catholics attended Sunday Mass in 1960, it is now one in four. One in three cradle Catholics has lost the faith. The numbers of priests and nuns are plummeting; religious orders are dying; Catholics schools are closing. The moral consensus and moral code Christianity gave to us has collapsed. Since the great culturalsocial revolution of the 1960s, there has occurred what Nietzsche called the “transvaluation of all values.” What was morally repellent — promiscuity, homosexuality, abortion — is now seen by perhaps half the nation as natural, normal, healthy and progressive. Socially, too, America is breaking down. Where out-of-wedlock births in the 1950s were rare, today, 41-percent of all American children are born out of wedlock. Among Hispanics, it is 51-percent; among blacks, 71-percent. And the correlation between the illegitimacy rate, the drug rate, the dropout rate, the crime rate and the incarceration rate is absolute. This helps to explain the four decades of plunging test scores of American children and the quadrupling of the prison population. And while all this is happening, the state is failing. We cannot control our borders, win our wars or balance our budgets. In three consecutive national elections — 2006, 2008 and 2010 — the incumbents have been repudiated. Confidence in politics, politicians and the future of the country has never been so low in our lifetimes. There was a time not so long ago when the nation was united on a common faith, morality, history, heroes, holidays, holy days, language and literature. Now we fight over them all. Neocons says not to worry, the Constitution holds us together. Does it? Do we all agree on what the First Amendment says about the freedom to pray in school and celebrate Christmas and Easter? How can we be the “one nation, under God” of the Pledge of Allegiance, or the people “endowed by their Creator” with inalienable rights, if we cannot even identify or discuss or mention that God and that Creator in the schools of America? Do we agree on what the Ninth Amendment says about right to life? What about what the 14th Amendment says about affirmative action? What the Second Amendment says about the right to carry a concealed gun? The new secession that is coming, Rick Perry notwithstanding, is not like the secession of 1861. It is a secession of the heart from one another.
LETTERS Republicans will fight to keep wars in the center of attention To the editor, Finally our last days in Iraq are approaching. We leave this embattled country no better today than eight years ago. We still consider the elimination of Saddam Hussein justified our bombing and invasion of a backward country, weakened by years of civil strife. We will continue to ignore the horrors of war and the death of 600,000 civilians as if it never happened — and we are somehow exonerated of guilt, in a macabre way. After all, we did the same thing in Vietnam. We regretted the loss but did not grieve the three million Vietnam deaths we left behind. Our ego was shattered but not our sense of humanity! We are a moral people: We desire peace and the absence of war and hostilities in nations around the world. But the weight of persuasion is no longer ours to determine. In spite of all the contradictions and needless violence, our military will prevail. We are engaged in a protracted conflict with Afghanistan rebels and refuse to quit, even though there are no valid reasons for our presence there. Afghanistan is also a weak country, rife with corruption and discord. They have never been a threat to us in the last 10 years. Not one person has died in this country due to a foreign terrorist since 9/11! Not one! Yet we are fearful and news releases are designed to keep us in the constant state of anxiety. Why? First, lets consider who really pulls the strings in this country. Who has the power and controls our government’s commitments. We have the strongest military force the world has ever seen. The military
exerts tremendous influence on all our decisions concerning warfare and involvement in middle eastern countries. The military is an industry. It must and will, generate reasons for its own existence, no matter if lies and propaganda are the basis for overt strikes and invasions costing thousands of lives. Our brave and committed soldiers, are dutiful to their commanders. No blame can rest on their shoulders. When the military has extraordinary power, as it has today, our country is in a precarious position. A country run by the military will eventually fall. It has happened countless times in history. We spend billions of dollars supporting a war that has no consequences for us, either way. The Republicans, always vocal and united on issues of (so called) defense, will fight “tooth and nail” to keep wars in the center of our attention. (Read the book by a New York Times reporter, “The Forever War.” Read about the futility and bloodshed of endless conflicts that resolve nothing.) The pain fact is: If the Republican party has its way, wars will never cease. The war industry that supports the Republican party will always have a vibrant voice in Congress! We must break the chains that binds us. We must demand that all soldiers return home, safely and back with their families. We must get the military out of our faces and killing off the front pages of our papers. This is not just my wish, but an imperative to save our way of life! Leon R Albushies Gilford
I’m a Democrat who’d love to see Paul engage Obama in debate To the editor, My brother tells me he’ll change his New York State voter registration to Republican so he can vote for Ron Paul in their primary. I’d already, myself, changed my registration to Undeclared, so I can pick up a Republican ballot in our New Hampshire primary. Now I’ve decided why Ron Paul is the one to try to send into the 2012 election. He is frank. He doesn’t game the situation. I remember when neither Bill Clinton nor H. W. Bush mentioned the war of attrition we waged against Nicaragua during Reagan’s terms. This
was “keeping on the gloves.” Both had their role in that murky war. As if they agreed between them to leave it out, we never heard mention of it. I’m itching to hear the air cleared during the next election. I’ll like to hear Ron Paul press incumbent Barack Obama on a number of things: his low interest in environmental protections; his signing free trade agreements when fair trade has now long been the ideal in terms of labor and the environment; his letting the wars drag out and, with drone use, extended to other countries; his nonsee next page

To the editor, Don’t P in the Lake! At our last Gilford Conservation Commission meeting it was brought up that the fall season brings on lots of lawn clean-up, raking and dumping of leaves, grass clippings, branches, etc. But what most people don’t understand is that if they are dumping their refuse adjacent to any type of tiny tributary, a brook, a stream, or a river, they are unintentionally degrading the water quality of whatever water body the brook finally flows into, which in Gilford’s case is nearly always Lake Winnipesaukee. The culprit is the release of phosphorous from the refuse into the water and eventually into the lake. The degradation of Lake Winnipesaukee that has already taken place has been covered in numerous articles regarding phosphorous (P) loading and the danger the lake faces if something isn’t done to stop it. No one wants to see the beautiful clear waters of Lake Winnipesaukee turned green via algal blooms or enhance the
To the editor, I am writing to respond to the letter from Wayne Stottlar. He wants the editors of The Daily Sun to disallow Louisa Simpson, Tom Stankosky and Eric Moss from having their views published in the paper because when they asked that offensive material (a picture of a slaughtered animal) be kept off the front page, what they were really saying is that they have the right to not be offended. Their request to not be offended offends Wayne so now he wants them kept out of the paper. Because apparently he DOES have the right to not be offended. The inconsis-
spread of milfoil through increased phosphorous. The devastating economical ramifications have already been well documented. The reason for this letter is to educate everyone living anywhere near water, especially during this season of lawn clean-up time to never dump any refuse within 25-feet of a brook or stream, no matter how tiny it might be. Also, if your lawn is directly adjacent to water, when you mow, don’t allow the grass clippings to be expelled into the water. We realize that many homes have small lots and a location to put refuse can be a problem, but many towns, including Gilford have recycling centers, where leaves, grass clippings, etc. are composted and turned into “black gold”. So, if someone you know lives near a brook or stream, please make them aware that they may be unintentionally P’ing in the lake. Thank you. Everett McLaughlin Gilford Conservation Commission
Jack, you should withdraw & volunteer to hold 1 of Brenda’s signs To the editor, I try never to involve myself in politics, if possible, I try to make my voice heard at the polls — that is where your voice should be heard. After reading Mr. Terrill’s comments about my city representative in Ward 4, I am forced to voice my opinion here in this forum. Jack, that was a very foolish comment that you expressed about Brenda’s age, you proved to the citizens of Ward 4 how not prepared you are to assume the responsibilities of representing the citizens in our ward. It almost questions your ability to represent such an important charity in our area. I will, Jack, remember those comments when I go to the pole, when my company representative asks for my donation to your organization and again when I go to see a concert at Meadowbrook and see a volunteer selling 50/50 tickets, which I always purchased. I guess maybe I am also to old to support your group. I do not know of a more dedicated city representative of our great city leaders than Brenda Baer of our won-
derful ward. I see Brenda everywhere that there is a meeting that affects our city government. My hope, Jack, is that when and if I am lucky enough to celebrate 85 young years, that I still have the energy and ambition to do all that Brenda does. As a resident and taxpayer of Ward 4, I am very proud to have Brenda watching out for our wants and needs. What you really should do Jack, is withdraw your name from the contest, ask Brenda to hold a sign in support of her nomination for re-election at our voting place. I know that you are young Jack, but ask her nicely, and maybe she will grant your wish. Brenda, thank you so much for all you do for us in Ward 4. You go girl! You kick his butt at the poles, and go forward in helping keep our great city going forward and safely as we tackle some hard tasks ahead of us. As always, Brenda, you have my full support and vote! You look, and act very young to me! Don Vachon Ward 4, Laconia
State of Israel does not abandon its soldiers; we can’t say that To the editor, After being held “POW” for five years, Israeli soldier Giland Shalit was released. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the deal in exchange for over a 1,000 Palestinian prisoners. It is stated that eight out of 10 Israelis favor the deal, but at the same time question whether it will harm security in the future with the release. Important fact here is the prime minister stated that, “The state of Israel does not abandon its ‘soldiers’ and citizen’”..something the Congress
of the U.S. could learn. We (USA) have an American soldier being held POW in Afghanistan this day and NOT even granted the designation “POW” . . . hidden by terminolog. . . Sgt.

LRGHealthcare: PUBLIC NOTICE LRGHealthcare Closes Primary Care Offices to Medicaid Patients No later than mid November, the following LRGHealthcare primary care offices will be closed to new and existing patients with Medicaid as their primary coverage: Andover Family Practice; Belknap Family Health in Belmont and Meredith; Caring for Women (women’s primary health care); Franklin Internal Medicine; Hillside Family Medicine; Laconia Clinic Laconia, Tilton and Franklin; Lakes Region Family Practice; Moultonboro Family Health; and New Hampton Family Practice. The plan, recently approved by the Board of Trustees, responds to unprecedented financial challenges faced by the organization and other hospitals and healthcare institutions across the state. Medicaid patients will continue to receive emergency services through the LRGH and FRH emergency rooms. Patients covered by NH Healthy Kids, and those receiving prenatal services at Caring for Women locations will continue to be cared for by their providers. Providers on the medical staff at LRGHealthcare, who are not employed or under contract with LRGHealthcare are independent businesses and must make their own decisions on this issue. LRGHealthcare has sustained several years of reductions in Medicaid payments, which have resulted in an annual reduction of $4 million. This loss, along with reduced demand for services from a weakened economy, has forced us to adjust staffing levels and consolidate overhead. As a result of these efforts, LRGHealthcare has realized a reduction in expenses of $14 million. However, we continue to be challenged with an operating loss of $4 million. Recent budget actions by the NH State Legislature further compromise the well-being of healthcare organizations in New Hampshire. We are saddened to have to take this action but, regrettably, have no choice. We intend to assist all patients in making a smooth transition of their records.

GREEN from page one only on the green arrow and not on a general green light after yielding to oncoming southbound traffic. He said that this arrangement works successfully at the intersections of Union Avenue and Elm Street and Gilford Avenue. Myers said that safety was the issue. He said that during the peak morning and afternoon hours 20 and 24 northbound vehicles on Main Street turned left on to Oak Street while more than 500 southbound vehicles passed through the intersection. He said that by limiting left turns to the green arrow, the city was following the recommendations of its traffic engineers. He added that at this stage of the project it would cost $2,000 to alter the signalization. Hamel chose not to press the matter, but later, as the meeting drew to a close, Charlie St. Clair, executive director of the Laconia Motorcycle Week Association who listened to the discussion, was asked if he wished to speak. At first St. Clair said he would speak with the councilors individually, but then agreed to address the council. Echoing Hamel, he said there was no reason to hold northbound vehicles making left turns at the lights until the signal tripped its complete cycle. With that Hamel returned to the issue, suggesting that perhaps the green arrow could be triggered to allow left turns when there was no oncoming traffic. When Myers doubted this alternative would be practical, Hamel offered a motion to simply allow left turns on green after yielding to oncoming traffic. Hamel was joined by councilors Matt Lahey (Ward 2) , Henry Lipman (Ward 3) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) while councilors Brenda Baer (Ward 4) and Ava Doyle (Ward 1) dissented. NOTES: Mayor Mike Seymour read a proclamation from Governor John Lynch honoring the contributions of Carol Pierce to the Laconia Human Relations Committee and its annual celebration of diversity, Multicultural Market Day, which this year marked its tenth anniversary. To a standing ovation from a crowd of well-wishers who filled the council chamber, Pierce said “I had no idea. Thank you. That’s all I can say thank you.” She added that “the best thing about Laconia is you don’t have to work alone. We’re all in this together.” . . . . . . The council voted unanimously to accept Phoenician Way, a cul-de-sac off Meredith Center Road, as a city street and to impose a betterment assessment of $10,355 spread over 10 years on the residents of the subdivision it serves for the cost of the improvements. . . . . . Councilors unanimously endorsed the Hazardous Mitigation Plan presented by Fire Chief Ken Erickson. The plan, which must be renewed every five years, is required to seek reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for damage caused by natural disasters. It identifies shelters available to the public as well as locates hazardous and flammable materials posing risks to residents and the environment. . . . . . City Manager Scott Myers told the council that the city is among five finalists for a “$100,000 “Heart and Soul” grant awarded by the Orton Family Foundation, whose representatives will visit this week. Two grants, which require cash or in kind matches of equal value, will be awarded. The city has contributed $25,000 toward the match. The grants are to be used toward “values based” community planning. . . . . . Representatives of the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) will visit Laconia next month to tour the Colonial Theater. The city has applied to LCHIP for funding to acquire and renovate the theater. . . . . . The council approved Fire Chief Ken Erickson’s request to apply for two grants, one to fund a share of the cost of installing a sprinkler system at the Central Fire Station at an estimated cost of $93,000, which would require $46,075 in matching funds from the city. The second grant would be applied to the cost of replacing Engine No. 1 at a cost of approximately $415,000, of which the city contribution would amount to $49,000. — Michael Kitch

LETTERS We’re becoming a second-class country with a large military To the editor, Two items that appear to be unrelated prompt me to write this letter. The incidence of child abuse in the U.S. is many times higher than that of other developed countries in Europe. The reason this appears to be so is that the safety net for young mothers is being cut back. Lack of social workers, teachers and medical services for the uneducated and poor is the principal reason. We have long neglected our children in education and health care. It costs money to assure a healthy population. Spending public money on these services is a long-term investment in the successful future of families and our young people. Thus politicians looking for short-term results are not going to ask voters to approve budgets including these funds. The result is that poverty grows on itself. Studies show that abusers were almost always abused themselves when young. If they see this as a norm for parenting, that norm can only be changed with caring services to help with poverty and education to families in need of support. The second item is the Legislature voting to cut the number of library book vans from six to one. Books have
always been the path to learning. Cutting the access to books, as this bill has done, is just one more way that shortsighted politicians are shortchanging our people. The Inter Library Loan system in New Hampshire is the most effective way for small libraries around the state to share books with others who need them, and to make it possible for citizens to have a much larger choice of reading materials. When I put these two items together with the overall political climate of starving our infrastructure, I see us becoming a second class country with a big military budget and lots of “earmarks” for subsidies for large corporations and wealthy individuals. We all need to speak out and make ourselves a special interest group agitating for the overall well being of our great country. The Occupy Wall Street movement is gathering support all around the country. (I would be there if I lived closer.) The 99 vs the 1-percent is the problem now. This needs to be reflected in getting out and voting for politicians who will change things for us. Kent Warner Center Harbor
I suggest Prof. Sandy is an indoctrinator, not a critical thinker To the editor, Leo Sandy just goes on writing. Now he wants our approval for being a subversive teacher. I’d like to challenge Leo to take a Descartes-like inventory of what he really knows. Then I challenge him to re-evaluate what are the things that can be reasonably believed based on things that we can know. Otherwise I suggest that he is just the new model establishment teacher indoctrinating his students in the philosophy of the day, and not a critical thinker at all, and that he should cease writing letters pretending that he is. My hope is that you takes the challenge. Leo you have so much talent. It’s a shame that you use it to be a stooge of the system. Wake up Leo. The reason you are such a champion for tenure is because you’re an entrenched member of the system that it protects. Hint,
liberalism is the status quo in education today. You are an intelligent man yes, but unless you’re willing to change some things, you’re really not a critical thinker, and your subversion is even more evil than the one you prefaced. And the Lord commanded the man, saying, “From any tree in the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you shall surely die. (Genesis 2:16 & 17) If you read on in the story you find that we got into trouble in the first place thinking that knowledge would make us to be like God. Some things don’t change. You would do better to stick with the 3 R’s and the like and let the parents raise their children. John Demakowski Franklin

MARI GRAS from page one cotic substances,” wrote selectmen. “In addition,” the board continued, “were are concerned because of the discovery on the premises of a variety of components that are commonly used in the illegal manufacture of methamphetamine, along with possible residues thereof.” To date, seven people, five men and two women, have been arrested by police. The two men, Justin Ainsley, 21, of Tilton and Scott Tripp, 39 of Franklin were arrested by their respective police departments. Ainsley faces one count of selling or transferring marijuana and is free on $250 bail. Tripp is charged with one count of sales of oxycodone. According paperwork obtained from the 4th District Court, Laconia Division, the state initially filed five complaints of selling oxycodone in three different locations — two of which are in Laconia, but Judge James Carroll did not find probable cause to justify four of the complaints. Arrested at the Mardi Gras that night were Kyme Locke, 37, of Concord, Sherry Lynn Barnhart, 21 of Campton and Dana Zizzo, 22, of Laconia. All are dancers at the club. Kocke had five complaints of selling cocaine to to undercover state narcotics agents but Judge Carroll ruled four of the them didn’t meet the probable cause burden. In the inventory of items seized left by police following the raid, they said they confiscated seven bags of cocaine and just under $1,000 from Locke’s locker at the Mardi Gras. Barnhart faces five separate counts of selling oxycodone and police inventories said they found a number of pills and $24 in her locker, and Zizzo, who was not listed on the arrest and search warrant made available by club management to The Daiily Sun, was arrested on some outstanding warrants from Dover and Portmouth. She faces three new charges of selling marijuana three separate times. The other two women are Shauna Martin, 23 of Holderness who faces one charge of one count of selling Suboxine — a prescription drug typically prescribed for painkiller and/or heroin addiction — and Jessica Sargent, 35 of Franklin who was charged with one count of conspiracy to sell a controlled drugs, one count of selling marijuana
and one count of selling oxycodone. To date there has been no mention of methamphetamine in any of the complaints. Police also said a gun that had previously been reported stolen was found in one of the office safes. As of last week, no weapons charges have been filed. N.H. Liquor Enforcement Chief Eddie Edwards said yesterday the club’s liquor license is registered to Willard Drew who owns the property and at the time of the raid was in his private home across the street. His home and surrounding private residences were specifically excluded from the search and arrest warrant signed on Oct. 17 at 3:30 p.m. by Carroll. In addition, he said the Mardi Gras has had two complaints one in 2010 and one in 20111 for not meeting the liquor to food sales ration of 50-50 for establishments that don’t sell $75,000 in food annually. The selectmen’s meeting on the 18th, which included all three selectmen, Town Administrator Scott Dunn, Police Chief Kevin Keenan, Fire Chief Steve Carrier, Code Enforcement Officer Dave Andrade and Public Works Director/Health Officer Sheldon Morgan, convened at Town Hall and immediately went into a non-public session. Minutes of the non-public session, held under the clause in RSA 91-A that allows for non-public meetings to protect the reputation of someone, were not sealed and show that the Gilford people met with “various law enforcement officials from the Belknap County, the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission, (Enforcement Division,) the Attorney General’s Office and the State Police.” After the raid (9:15 p.m.) selectmen and town staff toured the inside of the Mardi Gras and then acted on a motion made by Gus Benavides — voting unanimously to request the immediate temporary suspension of the establishment’s liquor license. The minutes do specify whether or not the vote was taken at the Mardi Gras or back at Town Hall. Dunn said Monday that selectmen are expected to discuss the possible suspension of the club’s live entertainment license at Wednesday’s regularly scheduled Selectman’s meeting at 7 p.m. He said yesterday the discussion will be held in a public session.
REMAINS from page 2 discovered, and half of the unit was still filled with boxes when state police alerted Boilard on Saturday. “There were boxes on tops of boxes. From front to back, from top to bottom, it was full of boxes,” he said. Other than the freezer, there was little else of interest stashed in the unit — mostly household items, McCausland said. Before his death, Julian was operating a variety store on Main Street. And from 2001 to 2007, he’d run the One Stop Shop in a building owned by Hubert Nadeau, selling T-shirts, Christmas decorations, knives and “just about anything,” Nadeau said. Nadeau said he was surprised by the news of the body’s discovery. “He was a very nice guy,” Nadeau said Monday. “I had no idea what it was all about.”
lies are being kept in the loop on the investigation, and both families are cooperating, McCausland said. Dwight Collins, Wardwell’s brother, said the family was awaiting further word on the body but declined to comment further. Other family members either couldn’t be reached or declined to comment. The process of determining the body’s identity could be time-consuming because of the condition of the body. Wardwell’s family members have donated DNA samples that will be compared against DNA from the body, McCausland said. Julian was 52 when Wardwell disappeared. An obituary in the Bangor Daily News described Julian as a former restaurateur and novelty salesman who played on John Bapst High School’s 1948 championship

Cheryl Avery takes over as director at Boys & Girls Club; rebuilding teen membership a top priority By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The new director of the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region is a lifelong Lakes Region resident who is charged with expanding the club’s programming and solidifying its permanence on the local landscape. Cheryl Avery, a native of Bridgewater, graduate of Newfound Regional High School and current Laconia resident, began directing the club three weeks ago. She has degrees in psychology and early childhood development. Prior work experience includes day care but she quickly became involved in child advocacy, most recently working as a guardian ad litum, advocating for children in court proceedings. Through her work as a child advocate, Avery said she would sometimes meet with children at the Boys & Girls Club. “When this opportunity came up, I was really happy to do it,” she said. “I see a huge need in

this community for a safe place for kids to go.” Avery succeeds Dave Parker, who left the club this summer. Jennie Pappas, program director for the club, served as interim director until Avery’s arrival. Al Posnack, president of the club’s board of directors, said Avery was selected because “her whole career has been in child advocacy, one way or another.” He noted her life-long residence in the Lakes Region, her “passion for kids” and her management and leadership abilities. “She brought together a whole lot of ingredients,” he said. Posnack said Avery will be charged with growing the club’s programming. It currently sees about 50 daily users. Posnack said the new director will also be asked to help the club “become a permanent part of the community” and help administer the organization as it seeks to relocate to a new, and he hopes a more see next page

CONCORD — A settlement of the protracted dispute over the surplus of the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriting Association (JUA), which was scuttled last month, may be revived following a hearing in Merrimack County Superior Court yesterday. Throughout yesterday’s hearing Judge Richard McNamara stressed his preference for a negotiated settlement, which he said represented the most efficient and equitable means of resolving the case, rather than continued litigation. The dispute began in 2009 when, on the recommendation of Governor John Lynch and advice of BARRETT from page one him as everyone there remembered him. Marine Patrol Lt. Tim Dunleavy led the brief ceremony by lauding Barrett’s 40 years of service to his country including the U.S. Military, police departments in both California and New Hampshire and his final 19 year as the Director of Division of Safety Services and the Marine Patrol. But like anything involving Barrett, there was plenty of laughter. Dunleavy recalled how during some financial hard times in the 1990s, Barrett worked a weekend shift every summer. He said the young officers who were on his boat were nervous until they realized that “Dave never brought his lunch and was always willing to pay for the lobster rolls.” Dunleavy also recalled how Barrett loved motorcycles and wine. “He preferred motorcycles over boats and wine over water,” he said. Barrett’s Brother Doug, a twin who looks just like him, looked out over the crowd and said “Holy ----” using one of Barrett’s most remembered expressions. Department of Safety Commissioner John Barthelmes remembered Barrett as leader who loved his family, his employees and enjoyed protecting the safety and enjoyment of the million people who live in the state and the millions who come to New Hampshire annually to enjoy its waterways. He also recalled Barrett as one of the funniest people he ever met saying he and Director of Emergency 9-1-1 Services Bruce Cheney were like Abbott and Costello in staff meetings with Cheney playing the role of the straight man.

the attorney general, the Legislature included the $110-million of the surplus in the 2010-2011 state budget. Policyholders, led by LRGHealthcare of Laconia, successfully challenged the state’s claim in the New Hampshire Supreme Court. When the Lynch administration balked at the court’s decision, the Legislature enacted legislation requiring the funds be distributed among the policyholders in accord with a plan approved by the superior court. Last month, when a settlement, reached between the directors of the JUA and the policyholders, was presented to McNamara for his approval, Attorney General Michael Delaney intervened, claiming the settlement required his approval and the approval see next page
“Cheney,” he said. “Where are you?” From the stern of the Mount came a small voice, “Way back here, sir,”answered Cheney while Barrett’s wife Wendy smiled through her tears. Wendy was presented with Barrett’s Marine Patrol Badge No. 1. In his honor, Gilford Marine Patrol Headquarters will be named after him and a new vessel that will patrol the coastal waters off New Hampshire will be christened the David T. Barrett. “As we send her to sea, we ask the God of the seas to accept her passage and allow her and her crew to return safely,” Barthelmes said. from preceding page permanent, location. The Boys & Girls Club has its roots as a teen center which started in 1999 and was first located in the basement of the Community Center. The organization relocated to a space rented on the campus of the Sacred Heart Church in 2007. The club currently rents space in the basement of the building that used to Our Lady of the Lakes Catholic Church in Lakeport. However, that property is advertised as for sale and the club has formed a committee to purchase or rent a new location. Efforts to purchase The Citizen newspaper building on Fair Street earlier this year did not succeed. A principal factor in selecting a new location will be its vicinity to the high school. Since leaving the Sacred Heart campus, which was a block from the high school, the club’s teenage membership has plummeted to zero. Avery said she’d like to see the teenagers come back, especially because they’re considered an “at-risk” population. “Good things happen here every day, we’re just not reaching the teen population,” Avery said. She’s looking forward to expanding those “good things” and to develop the club into a positive influence for the region’s young residents. Coming from the guardian ad litum role, she enjoys her new challenge. “I feel like it’s a more preventative way to work with children, and a way to work with more families at a time.”

Red Sox set to name N.H. native Cherington GM
BOSTON (AP) — Ben Cherington is set to become the new general manager of the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, replacing his former boss, Theo Epstein. Cherington’s promotion from assistant general manager will be announced at an afternoon news conference, the team said Monday. It had been expected for several weeks while the Chicago Cubs were working out details for Epstein to join them. On Friday, both teams announced that Epstein had resigned from the Red Sox to become president of baseball operations for the Cubs. The teams said then they would delay any news conference until Tuesday, a day off after Game 5 of the World Series. Left unsettled is the compensation the Cubs will hand over for the Red Sox allowing Epstein to leave while still under contract for one more year. Cherington is likely to be involved in those discussions, perhaps with Jed Hoyer, who is expected to leave as general manager of the San Diego Padres for a similar job with the Cubs.
Cherington has been handling many of the duties of general manager because Epstein’s departure had been expected. Cherington and Hoyer were co-general managers of the Red Sox for about six weeks after Epstein resigned after the 2005 season when an internal squabble convinced him he couldn’t put his whole heart into the job. When Epstein returned, team president Larry Lucchino alluded to the smoothing out of friction that had developed between the baseball and business sides of the organization. A major immediate focus for Cherington will be the search for a new manager. Terry Francona left on Sept. 30 after eight seasons and two World Series championships. Two days earlier, the Red Sox were eliminated from playoff contention on the final day of the regular season. Cherington joined the Red Sox in 1999 under former general manager Dan Duquette, who was fired during spring training in 2002 shortly after John Henry, Tom Werner and Lucchino were approved as the team’s new owners by major league baseball.
from preceding page of the Legislature as well. Delaney claimed that the statute (RSA 99-D) authorizing the state to indemnify “state officers, trustees, officials and employees” entitled his office to represent the directors of the JUA and approve any settlement they negotiated. In addition, he argued that since the settlement exceeds one-quarter of one-percent all unrestricted general fund revenues, according to another statute (RSA 14:35-b) it also requires the approval of the Legislature. Representing the policyholders, Kevin Fitzgerald of NixonPeabody, countered that Delaney’s position rests on the assumption that the JUA is a “state entity,” its directors “state officials” and its surplus state funds, all of which flies in the face of orders of both the Belknap County Superior Court and the New Hampshire Supreme Court as well as the regulations of the JUA and an act of the Legislature. In light of concerns about the authority of the Attorney General, attorney Dan Mullen, who Delaney appointed to represent the directors of the JUA, informed the court that they chose to withdraw from the settlement. McNamara said that he was prepared to rule that the Legislature had no role in the case, because “RSA 14:35-b “has nothing to do with this case. How could it (a settlement) be subject to approval by the state, if the funds don’t belong to the state?” he asked Associate Attorney General Richard Head. When Head replied “I guess I don’t quite see it that way” and said the state had an interest in sustaining the viability of the JUA, McNamara replied that although the state has a legitimate interest in the JUA, “that doesn’t mean the
funds belong to the state.” However, McNamara said he was “inclined to think the attorney general may have authority to approve settlement.” He noted that the policyholders have sued the directors of the JUA for breach of fiduciary duty, citing their assent to the state’s original claim to the surplus, and suggested they were entitled to defense and indemnification by the state. Fitzgerald disagreed. “RSA 99-D doesn’t apply,” he said, explaining that the rules governing the JUA require that the expense of any proceedings or judgment against the directors shall be born by the JUA. He said that by claiming to represent the directors the attorney general was “throwing a stick in the spoke of that settlement.” Reminding the court that the attorney general is not a party to the litigation, he urged McNamara to “not let a non-party way lay the process.” Anticipating that his decisions would be appealed, McNamara suggested seeking the opinion of the New Hampshire Supreme Court on the questions of whether the attorney general or the Legislature was authorized to approve a settlement. “The two rulings would be helpful,” Head offered. “If they don’t apply,” McNamara responded, “you’re out of the picture.” McNamara questioned attorney Dan Mullen, who the attorney general appointed to represent the directors of the JUA. “We believe the JUA is a state entity and the directors are state officials,” Mullen replied. But, the judge asked if the directors were indemnified by the JUA and not by the state, would the directors agree to proceed to a settlement. Mullen demurred, but agreed to consult and his clients and return with an answer before the end of the week.

TILTON — This coming Saturday the Tilton Police Department, the Franklin Police Department, the Sanbornton Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public an opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs. People can bring medications for disposal to either the NAPA parking lot at 635 West Main Street, Tilton, or to the Sanbornton Police Department at 565 Sanborn Road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The service is free and anonymous with no questions asked. Last April, Americans turned in 376,593 pounds—188 tons—of prescription drugs at nearly 5,400 sites operated
by the DEA and more than 3,000 state and local law enforcement partners. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health issue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse, and abuse. Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash— both pose potential safety and health hazards.
Dems hosting 5th Doris ‘Granny D’ Haddock on Thursday evening LACONIA — Belknap County Democrats will hold the 5th Annual Doris “Granny D” Haddock Evening, Thursday, Oct. 27, starting at 6 p.m. at the Belknap Mill. The event honors Laconia native Doris “Granny D” Haddock, who in her 90’s capped off a life of activism by being a crusader for campaign finance reform and the need to eliminate the controlling power of money in elections and politics. “Her warnings have all turned out to be more prescient than most people could have believed,” says Liz Merry, chair of the Belknap County Democrats. This year’s event will include hors d’ouevre provided by the Hospitality Club of the Culinary Arts program at Lakes Region Community College,
remarks from candidates, speakers from the Americans for Campaign Reform (ACR) and the Coalition for Open Democracy. Featured speaker will be Dennis Delay, chief economist for the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. There will also be a wine tasting event showcasing wines from the Hermit Woods Winery in Sanbornton. Tickets are $25 each and should be reserved and purchased in advance. They can be held at the door with previous notification and payment. Contact Liz Merry (estikemerry@ metrocast.net) or Ed Allard (nyedwin@aol.com). For more information, contact Liz Merry or Ed Allard at the email addresses listed above.

ASHLAND — Robin DeRosa will give an illustrated talk “Witches, Pop Culture and the Past” in the Ashland School Cafeteria at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, November 1. The Salem witch trials of 1692 resulted in the execution of nineteen alleged witches and the imprisonment of hundreds of others.

thrills now collide in the retellings of the story of the Salem witches. DeRosa, an Associate Professor of English at Plymouth State University, is well equipped to speak on the subject, as she is the author of a 2009 book, The Making of Salem, the Witch Trials in History, Fact and Tourism. The free program is largely funded by the N.H. Humanities Council and is sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Town Library, who will also serve refreshments.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Everyone can benefit from objective feedback. But not everyone can take it. You’ll be among the emotionally strong ones. With great maturity, you will learn all you need to know to move to the next level. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be emotionally resilient and strong. You will find out what people think about you, and you’ll use the information to hone your image and work to create a maximum effect. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a friendly person who realizes that not everyone can be as outgoing as you. A happy-go-lucky mood makes it easier for you to put yourself out there. If you don’t get the reaction you would prefer, it’s no big deal. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will be an excellent negotiator because you won’t get caught up in matters of pride. There’s little that would hurt your feelings about the deal anyhow; it’s just business. Seeing things like this gives you an advantage. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your creed is: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You enter into new situations, ready to think on your feet. Don’t pressure yourself to take things too far, though. It’s probably enough just to smile and say hello. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 25). Your star qualities will be recognized, in part because you sense what your best ideas are and push forward until you see them in reality. There’s a career breakthrough in December. January offers new excitement on a personal level. You’ll see new parts of the world in March and June. Love signs are Sagittarius and Aquarius. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 20, 40 and 13.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). There’s no way around it. No matter how attractive and aligned with the universe you are, at some point getting what you want will require effort. That point comes today, and you couldn’t be more ready for it. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You no longer feel the need to put in your two cents about another person’s life. You can tell that this person is going to work things out in his or her own unique way, and you’re content to quietly watch. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The truth packs a powerful punch. Like a strong drink, it takes some getting used to. Not everyone can handle a full glass of it. Add more sugar to the mix, and it will go down easier. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Increasing your self-reliance will not push a loved one away. It will, in fact, make your relationship stronger. You are growing toward a less dependent but more bonded arrangement with a loved one. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Whereas many around you seem dissatisfied, you tune in to your environment and notice much that is good in it. You can be a quiet leader in this regard, influencing others with nothing more than your manner of being. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Out of these snatches of things seen, heard or otherwise perceived, you form some rather unique conclusions. Your point of view is a rare one, and with a little creativity, you can turn it into great art. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Punctuality is important to you, though today you may find it stressful to accomplish. One way not to be late is to have nowhere to be. Consider clearing your schedule for a few days.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Oct. 25, the 298th day of 2011. There are 67 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 25, 1854, the “Charge of the Light Brigade” took place during the Crimean War as an English brigade of more than 600 men charged the Russian army despite hopeless odds and suffered heavy losses. On this date: In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown went on trial in Charles Town, Va., for his failed raid at Harpers Ferry. (Brown was convicted and hanged.) In 1881, artist Pablo Picasso was born in Malaga, Spain. In 1910, “America the Beautiful,” with words by Katharine Lee Bates and music by Samuel A. Ward, was first published. In 1929, former Interior Secretary Albert B. Fall was convicted in Washington, D.C., of accepting a $100,000 bribe from oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny. In 1962, U.S. ambassador Adlai E. Stevenson presented photographic evidence of Soviet-built missile bases in Cuba to the U.N. Security Council. In 1971, the U.N. General Assembly voted to admit mainland China and expel Taiwan. In 1981, on the centenary of the birth of Pablo Picasso, the artist’s painting “Guernica” was returned to Spain after spending four decades in the possession of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 1986, in Game 6 of the World Series, the Boston Red Sox lost to the New York Mets, 6-5, on a wild pitch and an error in the tenth inning, forcing a seventh game, which the Mets ended up winning. One year ago: In Indonesia, an earthquake triggered a tsunami off western Sumatra that killed more than 460 people and destroyed homes, mosques and other buildings. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Jeanne Cooper is 83. Actress Marion Ross is 83. Country singer Jeanne Black is 74. Basketball Hall of Famer Bobby Knight is 71. Author Anne Tyler is 70. Rock singer Jon Anderson (Yes) is 67. Rock musician Glenn Tipton (Judas Priest) is 64. Actor Brian Kerwin is 62. Actor Mark L. Taylor is 61. Rock musician Matthias Jabs is 55. Actress Nancy Cartwright (“The Simpsons”) is 54. Country singer Mark Miller is 53. Rock musician Chad Smith is 50. Actress Tracy Nelson is 48. Actor Michael Boatman is 47. Actor Adam Goldberg is 41. Actor-singer Adam Pascal is 41. Rock musician Ed Robertson (Barenaked Ladies) is 41. Actress Persia White is 41. Country singer Chely Wright is 41. Violinist Midori is 40. Actor Craig Robinson is 40. Actor Michael Weston is 38. Actor Zachary Knighton is 33. Actor Mehcad Brooks is 31. Actor Ben Gould is 31. Rhythm-andblues singer Young Rome is 30. Pop singer Katy Perry is 27.

Rangers rally to win 4-2, now just 1 game away from World Series title ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A long drive by Mike Napoli, a lucky bounce near the mound and suddenly the Texas Rangers were on the brink of their first World Series championship. Napoli delivered the biggest hit of his charmed season, lining a tiebreaking two-run double in the eighth inning that sent the Rangers past the St. Louis Cardinals 4-2 on Monday night for a 3-2 edge. The slugging catcher then capped off his night of double duty, throwing out a would-be base stealer in the ninth as Albert Pujols struck out. “Pujols is going to put it in play, he’s a good contact hitter,” Napoli said, “and they were just starting the runner, 3-2. As soon as I got it, I just got rid of it and put it on the bag.” Texas will try to wrap it up in Game 6 on Wednesday night in St. Louis. If the Rangers eventually do win that elusive crown, the Texas fans who stood and chanted Napoli’s name may forever remember his two-run hit. “Just trying to get something to the outfield, you know, get a sac fly, get that run across the board,” Napoli said. “I was trying to stay short and I got a pitch I could handle over the middle of the plate and put it in the gap.”
LACONIA PUBLIC LIBRARY
If the Cardinals lose, there’s no doubt which play will stick with manager Tony La Russa for a long, long time. It was 2-all when Texas put runners on first and second with one out in the eighth, and reliever Marc Rzepczynski was summoned. David Murphy followed with a bouncer back to the mound, a possible inning-ending double play in the making. But the ball appeared to glance off Rzepczynski’s knee and trickled harmlessly away for a single that loaded the bases. In the dugout, La Russa immediately threw his hands to his head, a true “Oh, no!” moment. La Russa elected to let his lefty stay in to face the right-handed Napoli, and it didn’t work. Napoli, who came close to a three-run homer in his previous at-bat, sent a drive up the alley against the pitcher with the nickname “Scrabble.” The double off Rzepczynski sure spelled good things for Texas, with excitable manager Ron Washington waving the runners around from the dugout. Darren Oliver earned the win and Neftali Feliz closed for his second save of the Series and sixth of the postseason. After a travel day, the Series will resume at Busch

Stadium with Colby Lewis facing Cardinals lefty Jaime Garcia. The weather forecast in St. Louis is daunting, calling for rain and temperatures around 50. Adrian Beltre and Mitch Moreland hit solo home runs off Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, helping Texas come back from an early 2-0 deficit. Later, it became a battle of the bullpens and Texas prevailed. Octavio Dotel gave up a leadoff double to Michael Young in the eighth, struck out Beltre and intentionally walked Nelson Cruz. That left it up to Rzepczynski, and the game quickly slipped away. La Russa appeared stunned by the turnaround. Later in the eighth, he brought in reliever Lance Lynn and had him issue an intentional walk to the only batter he faced. Jason Motte eventually ended the inning, but it was too late. Fittingly, Napoli had a role in the final play. Lance Berkman struck out and the ball hit Napoli’s shin guard and trickled up the first base line, where the catcher picked it up and tossed to first base to end the game. Pujols drew three intentional walks, including a pass with two outs and none on in the seventh. The St. Louis slugger then nearly used his legs to put his team ahead. Pujols was running hard on a 3-2 pitch that Matt Holliday hit for a single to left-center. Pujols chugged around the bags and third base coach Jose Oquendo initially waved him home, only to put up a late stop sign. Would Pujols have been safe on shortstop Elvis Andrus’ wide throw to the plate? Maybe. But it became moot when Lance Berkman was intentionally walked to load the bases and David Freese flied out against Alexi Ogando. Beltre’s homer made it 2-all with two outs in the sixth. He dropped to one knee after following through on a meaty cut. He connected on a big curve from Carpenter, who had easily handled Josh Hamilton and Young to start the inning. Beltre’s other homers this October came in a bunch. He hit three in a first-round playoff game at Tampa Bay. Napoli almost gave Texas a cushion later in the inning. With the crowd standing and chanting his name as “Nap-Oh-Lee” flashed on the scoreboard, the catcher’s bid for a three-run homer was caught on the warning track in right-center field, just shy of the 407-foot mark. The homer let Wilson avoid becoming the first pitcher to lose four times in a single postseason. The eccentric lefty who alternates red and blue gloves between starts had another uneven outing, working around five walks. Wilson walked six while losing Game 1 to Carpenter and the Cardinals. Moreland atoned for some glove woes with a home run in the third, hitting a drive halfway up the second deck in right field. SHOT from page 2 concerning how the shooting might have happened Tanna said, including the chance that it might have been an accident. The area is popular with hunters, and hunting season is under way. “There is nothing in stone as to what happened today,” she said. A police officer assigned to the school was standing near Abercrombie when she was shot at about 1 p.m. and immediately called 911, Tanna said. Students from Mac Williams Middle School were sent home before their high school counterparts, who were still gradually leaving the campus by 6 p.m. Students were searched by police and left the building in long lines holding their hands above their heads before boarding buses that took them from campus. Cumberland County school officials plan to have heightened security in place for when classes start on Tuesday. “There will be metal detectors and beefed up security inside both schools,” Tanna said. “Some parents have said they don’t plan to send their kids to school. Those who do come can be assured there will be increased security on both campuses.”
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 25, 2011— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I come from a family of seven kids. Last spring, our oldest sister, “Susan,” was diagnosed with lung cancer, and it has spread. We have rallied around and take turns spending time with her. We recently found out that “Tom,” Susan’s husband of 30 years, has been cheating on her for the past five. They live in a small town, and everybody knows. (I found out by overhearing women talking at the grocery store.) Susan filed for divorce two years ago, but when Tom was diagnosed with prostate cancer, she stopped the process to take care of him. She thought this would wake him up, but apparently, his girlfriend was “taking care” of him, too. Tom has no problem being seen about town with this woman, who is also married with young children. In all of our visits, Susan has yet to mention the affair. We also don’t know what to do about her two grown children who know nothing of their father’s activities, even though all their friends are aware of it. Tom isn’t likely to proceed with the divorce because it would make him look bad, but he undoubtedly thinks if he waits long enough, Susan will die. This is making us all sick. Any of us would gladly take her in, but we don’t know how to broach the subject. -- Perplexed Siblings Dear Siblings: Please allow Susan to bring up her husband’s affair. There is no way to know whether she would be relieved to talk about it or whether it would simply be more stress than she can handle. It may comfort her to think her siblings believe her marriage is solid. Instead, tell her that all of you would like the opportunity to provide a place for her in your own homes. Let her know how much you love her and want this chance to spend time together. In spite of your loving offer, however, Susan may prefer to stay where she is. (And please leave the kids out of it. We suspect they know more than you think.)
Dear Annie: I have noticed disturbing behavior occurring on a website that is supposed to be used for educational interaction between schools. One student taunted another and even said no one liked her. Is this classified as cyberbullying? What was said was certainly harmful and hurtful. How do you suggest I inform the school that this is going on? -- Student Trying To Make a Difference Dear Trying: Yes, this is cyberbullying and should be reported to all the schools that use this website. These sites should be regularly monitored to prevent just such activity. Talk to your parents, and ask them to call or visit the principal with a printout of the offending page, or ask if you can bring it up on the school computer. The principal should handle it from there. Dear Annie: “Workplace Dilemma” said her small office consists of only her and a part-time employee, and her boss’s boss won’t pay her overtime. You said an hour a week is not that much, but, Annie, in a year, it could add up to a week’s pay. Also, not paying overtime could be against the law, depending on her position. She can find out at www.dol.gov/ compliance/laws/comp-flsa.htm. “Workplace” should keep a notebook nearby and document everything she does, and then find time to talk to her boss objectively. Further, if the boss is so dependent upon her, she should get a significant raise. -- New Hampshire Dear N.H.: Even though we said “Workplace” should be paid, many readers were angry with us because we also said an hour a week isn’t that much if you like your job. (And a few pointed out that for an extra 12 minutes a day, they would gladly take her job.) We hope she will check to see whether she is legally owed overtime and then take the necessary steps to ensure she gets it.

mail rental service. The company, which is based in Los Gatos, Calif., ended September with 23.8 million U.S. subscribers, down about 800,000 from June. Netflix had predicted it would lose about 600,000 U.S. subscribers in a forecast released last month. Management expects to gain U.S. subscribers in the current quarter, although Netflix didn’t set a specific target. But a substantial number of Netflix’s customers are expected to choose between renting DVDs through the mail or streaming video over high-speed Internet connections instead of paying for both services. The biggest hit is expected on the DVD side, a service that Netflix has been de-emphasizing to save money on mailing costs as its spends more to license movies and TV shows for its Internet video library. The company expects its DVD subscribers to fall from 13.9 million as of Sept. 30 to as low as 10.3 million at the end of December. Netflix earned $62.5 million, or $1.16, per share, in the third quarter. That compared to income of $38 million, or 70 cents per share, at the same time last year. The performance topped the average earnings estimate of 96 cents per share among analysts polled by FactSet. The company’s revenue climbed 49 percent from the same last year to nearly $822 million — about $9 million above analyst estimates. Netflix shares shed $31.19, or more than 26 percent, to $87.35 in Monday’s extended trading.

LIBYA from page 2 State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland reiterated U.S. support for a full investigation but said “it’s now time for Libya to move on.” She endorsed the NTC’s proposed timeline for next steps in the democratic transition, and said Libyans “with no blood on their hands” must be ensured “a place in the new Libya, and that they are safe and they are included.” She also called a Human Rights Watch report that dozens of Gadhafi supporters were found dead with bullet wounds in the back of the head and their hands tied, “extremely disturbing.” She said U.S. Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz raised Washington’s concerns with the council and asked them to conduct another investigation. Gadhafi’s body went on public display since Friday in a commercial refrigerator in the port city of Misrata, where residents lined up to see it. Late Monday, an APTN crew saw vehicles driving away from the refrigerator, and Associated Press reporters saw that it was empty. A military commander said the bodies were handed over to authorities for burial. Ibrahim Beit al-Mal, a spokesman for the fighters, said he expected that the bodies of Gadhafi, his slain son Muatassim and former Defense Minister Abu Bakr Younis would be buried Tuesday in an unmarked grave in a secret location. Abdul-Jalil said earlier that the transitional government has established a committee to determine what to do with Gadhafi’s body, adding that the decision will be governed by a religious edict by the head of the Islamic Fatwa society. Several videos have emerged showing Gadhafi was alive when he was captured and taunted and beaten by revolutionary fighters in Sirte. The Boston-based international news site GlobalPost posted a video showing Gadhafi’s captors ramming a stick into his buttocks through his pants. Guma al-Gamaty, a London-based spokesman for the National Transitional Council, said Abdul-Jalil had an obligation at the dawn of a new era to assure Libyans that Islam will be respected. “This doesn’t mean that Libya will become a theocracy. There is no chance of that whatsoever. Libya will be a civic state, a democratic state and, in principle, its laws will not contradict democracy,” he said. It is the kind of assurance Western powers that supported the anti-Gadhafi fighters with airstrikes and diplomatic backing may have been looking for.
