X-Box said at heart of alleged Laconia home invasion Called told police young men were going after each other with pool cue & crowbar

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Police affidavits said the proximate cause of a burglary and assault at an occupied home on Eastman Shore Road Thursday afternoon was some video and computer game equipment.

Police said Tyler Ford, 18, of 21 Sunshine Drive in Belmont and Tyler Grant, 18, of 152 Wildlife Boulevard in Belmont went into the home to take some things they said had been taken from them by one of people in the home.

When the three men in the home realized Tyler and Grant were inside a fight ensued.

Ford is charged with one felony count of burglary and one count of simple assault and Grant was charged with one felony count of burglary. see X-BOX page 12

Winnisquam B&B saying thanks to vets with free stay on Nov. 11 By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — For Veterans Day this year, John and Cindy Becker wanted to do something to show their appreciation for those who served in the country’s military

branches. As they now find themselves the proprietors of a 10-room inn overlooking Lake Winnisquam, they figured they had a unique way to show that thanks — by offering free lodging to veterans on Nov. 11.

The Beckers don’t take credit

for the idea. Rather, they’re joining other inns and bed and breakfasts throughout the country, all of whom offer veterans or active service personnel the chance to get away with a loved one, for an evening of relaxation and reconnection.

“We appreciate the service our veterans give to our country, this is one small way we can show that gratitude,” said John.

“It’s a gift,” said Cindy. “A fun night or two away, a reconnection.”

Mid-Atlantic Coast states will brace for monster ‘Frankenstorm’ WASHINGTON (AP) — When Hurricane Sandy becomes a hybrid weather monster some call “Frankenstorm” it will smack the East Coast harder and wider than last year’s damaging Irene, forecasters said Friday.

The brunt of the weather mayhem will be concentrated where the hurricane comes ashore early Tuesday, but there will be hundreds of miles of steady, strong and damaging winds and rain for the entire Eastern region for several days, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The hurricane has killed at least 20 people in the Caribbean, and just left the Bahamas. It is expected to move north, just off the Eastern Seaboard.

As of Friday morning, federal forecasters were looking closer at the Delaware shore as the spot it will turn inland and merge with a wintry storm

front. But there is a lot of room for error in the forecast and the storm could turn into shore closer to New York and New Jersey and bring the worst weather there.

Wherever Sandy comes ashore will get 10 inches of rain and extreme storm surges, Louis Uccellini, NOAA’s environmental prediction director, said in a Friday news conference. Other areas not directly on Sandy’s entry path will still get 4 to 8 inches of rain, maybe more, he said. Up to 2 feet of snow should fall on West Virginia, with lighter snow in parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania, regardless of where Sandy first hits.

A wide swath of the East, measuring several hundreds of miles, will get persistent gale-force winds in the 50 mph area, with some areas closer to storm landfall getting closer to 70 mph, said James Frank-

lin, forecast chief for the National Hurricane Center.

“It’s going to be a long-lasting event, two to three days of impact for a lot of people,” Franklin said.

“Wind damage, widespread power outages, heavy rainfall, inland flooding and somebody is going to get a significant surge event.”

That storm surge will only be magnified by the full moon this weekend to make it a “dangerous period,” Uccellini said.

Last year’s Hurricane Irene was a minimal hurricane that caused widespread damage as it moved north along the coast after making landfall in North Carolina. With catastrophic inland flooding in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Vermont, federal officials say Irene caused $15.8 billion in damage.

Sandy is “looking like a very serious storm that STORM from page one 10

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The National Weather Service says the “Frankenstorm” that’s expected to strike the Middle Atlantic on Monday will mean only rain and wind in Maine and New Hampshire.

Meteorologist Tom Hawley from the weather service office in Gray said Friday that the region can

expect 3 to 5 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 40 to 50 mph starting Monday afternoon.

Forecasters in Maine have watched the storm closely because early computer models had Hurricane Sandy headed toward Maine. But by Thursday they’d forecast landfall far south of Maine and New

Hampshire.

Hawley says it’ll be a dangerous storm south of New England, but will deliver only a glancing blow to Maine and New Hampshire. Still, he says there’s the possibility of some flooding and scattered power outages.

Suspect in UNH student’s death waives hearing

American economy expands at modest 2% rate

Meteorologist says Maine & N.H. will probably only get wind & rain from ‘Frank’

DOVER (AP) — The man charged with killing a University of New Hampshire student whose body still has not been found has given up his right to a hearing.

Thirty-year-old Seth Mazzaglia (mah-ZAY-lia) was scheduled to be in Dover District Court Monday for a probable cause hearing on second-degree murder charges.

Prosecutors say he suffocated or strangled 19-year-old Elizabeth “Lizzi” Marriott Oct. 9. Investigators continue to search for her body along the New Hampshire coastline.

Marriott — of Westborough, Mass. — was living with relatives in Chester and commuted to UNH. She left a note for family members Oct. 9 saying she was visiting friends after her evening class but would be home by midnight.

Her cell phone was last used in Dover that night.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The latest snapshot of economic growth shows the U.S. recovery remains tepid.

Growth in the July-September quarter climbed slightly but was still too weak to stir significantly more hiring. The pace of expansion rose to a 2 percent annual rate from 1.3 percent in the April-June quarter, led by more consumer and government spending.

Voters who are still undecided about the presidential election aren’t likely to be swayed by Friday’s mixed report from the Commerce Department.

“For the average American, I don’t think changes in quarterly GDP” make a big difference in their perception of the economy, said Andrew Kohut, president of the Pew Research Center. “It’s certainly good for the president that the number is not bad because that would resonate.”

With 11 days until the election, the economy is being kept afloat by a revitalized consumer and the early stages of a housing recovery. But more than LIVE MUSIC FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHTS

three years after the Great Recession ended, the nation continues to struggle because businesses are reluctant to invest, and slower global growth has cut demand for American exports.

Republican nominee Mitt Romney is telling voters that President Barack Obama’s policies have kept the economy from accelerating and have even slowed growth in the past two years. The 1.7 percent annual growth rate for the first nine months of 2012 remains slightly behind last year’s 1.8 percent growth. And both are below 2010’s growth of 2.4 percent.

The economy contracted at a 5.3 percent annual rate in the first three months of 2009, just as Obama took office during the worst downturn since the Great Depression. Obama says his policies stabilized the economy later that year and argues that the stimulus package and auto bailout helped it grow in 2010.

BIDEN from page one their own decisions about their own bodies and their own health care,” she said.

“We have to keep fighting for our daughters and our grand-daughters” she said telling the crowd that if two different Supreme Court Justices are named, then woman’s rights would be jeopardized. “Everything women have is really at stake.”

Biden said that jobs in the private sector are up,

exports are up, unemployment is down, the auto industry is back on it’s feet and “don’t ask, don’t tell” is history.

She also personally thanked New Hampshire residents for the Pease Greeters — who she said greeted her son Beau when he came home from his deployment in Iraq.

“He said he’d never forget your kindness,” she said.

ECONOMY from page 2 expanded for 13 straight quarters. Yet this year’s third-quarter growth is slightly below the 2.2 percent average pace since the recession ended in June 2009.

The economy’s health is most closely tied to consumers, whose spending drives 70 percent of economic activity.

The latest report showed some progress.

Consumer spending rose at an annual rate of 2 percent in the July-September quarter, up from 1.5 percent in the previous quarter. And a survey by the

University of Michigan released Friday found consumer confidence increased to its highest level in five years this month. That suggests spending may keep growing.

Americans spent more on cars, adding nearly 0.2 percentage point to growth. Housing added to growth for the sixth straight quarter.

“Those are the sectors that reflect growing consumer confidence and greater lending,” said Joseph Carson, U.S. economist for AllianceBernstein, an asset management firm.

AFL-CIO chief says new breed of GOP lawmakers showing no respect for workers or their reps

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “I have never been so disrespected as long as I have done public policy as I have in the last two years,” said Mark MacKenzie, who has served as president of the New Hampshire AFLCIO since 1989. “We represent a cross-section of the people that deserves respect,” he continued, “and if it can happen to us as union members, it can happen to others.”

What MacKenzie called “attacks” on organized labor by the Republican majorities in the Legislature reflected the misplaced priorities of the GOP championed by its candidate for governor Ovide Lamontagne, which is why the AFL-CIO and its affiliated unions are supporting his opponent, Democrat Maggie Hassan.

According to the United States Department of Labor,in 2011 some 68,000 union members represented 11.1-percent of all private and public sector employees in New Hampshire and approximately another 9,000.workers were unaffiliated with a union but held jobs covered by union contracts.

Altogether 77,000 employees, or 12.5-percent of the workforce, were enrolled in or represented by unions.

MacKenzie estimated that between 8 percent and 8 percent of employees in the private sector are affiliated with unions while union members represent a much greater share of public sector employees.

During at interview at The Daily Sun office on Friday, MacKenzie recalled that throughout his

career he has served on a variety of boards and commissions addressing all aspects of public policy.

“We’ve always had a seat at the table,” he said. “But, the last couple of years have been pretty disturbing, not only for organized labor, but for workers in general. Everybody’s kind of under fire right now.”

“I sat in through a hearing on a bill to repeal the law granting lunch hours to employees,” MacKenzie remarked. “And why they repealed the minimum wage is beyond me.” When workers met efforts by lawmakers to limit the collective bargaining rights of public employees MacKenzie said “we were shut out of the building.”

Nothing soured relations between Republican lawmakers and organized labor more than the Right-to-Work bill, which carried both the House and Senate but failed to muster enough votes to overcome Democratic Governor John Lynch’s veto.

MacKenzie noted that while “Right-to-Work” legislation gathered momentum in other states, for years it stalled in New Hampshire, where the Manchester Union-Leader, the state’s largest newspaper, consistently opposed it. “It snuck into the the state in the last few years,” he said. “It’’s not an issue with the economy, not the magic bullet that will bring thousands of jobs. It’s an ideological issue.”

MacKenzie then turned to the recent report by the New Hampshire Center for Public Studies warning that the slow growth and rapid aging of the population signal that the factors fueling economic expansion and prosperity for the past three decades have run their course. Instead, a shrinking workforce threatens to slow economic growth, reducing output, employment and income.

The report, MacKenzie noted, suggests that investing in public education, redesigning the tax strucsee AFL-CIO page 10

Just ‘access to’ birth control is not enough Mitt Romney is running ads explaining that he does not object to birth control. But no one questions his stance that women should have, as the ads say, “access” to contraception. They already do. They also have access to Coach handbags and flights to Acapulco. And that’s where the Romney smokescreen, intended to close a gender gap favoring Democrats, needs clearing.

Most women of childbearing age would consider birth control an essential part of their health care.

But of the medical services employers must provide under the new health care law, Romney singles out birth control as one thing that should be optional.

Sure, most women can afford birth control. Women who lead disciplined lives would move heaven and earth to manage their fertility.

From a practical standpoint, these women can be counted on to take care of business. To them, this exclusion in coverage is merely insulting.

But they are not the concern. The concern is women scraping by. Some live paycheck to paycheck, or don’t have one. Some are high school kids with no income stream. Some are strangers to the larger world of responsibility or lack the mental capacity to make sound decisions about unprotected sex.

These are the women who may not dig into their empty or messy pockets for the $120 to $1,000 a year needed to buy contraception. Also, to obtain the pill, one must first visit a doctor and get a prescription.

Organized women do what they must. Disorganized women don’t get around to it.

Consider the low-income 24-yearold wanting to have sex with her boyfriend and not wanting to get pregnant. She knows where she can find birth control pills, but rather than spend a week’s pay to get there, she rationalizes: “This the ‘safe’ part of my monthly cycle. I probably won’t get pregnant, and so I’ll take the risk.”

Next thing you know, she’s pregnant.

She’ll either have an abortion or join the growing armies of unmarried

women who have babies out of wedlock.

The first scenario, an abortion, is anathema to social conservatives. The second scenario, another potentially dysfunctional family headed by a single parent, worries thinking Americans of most political persuasions. Not providing this mainstream pharmaceutical — free! — to the women who need it most is crazy social policy.

We know the politics. We know that the Catholic Church, being theologically opposed to birth control, has pushed for this exclusion. We know that the health care reforms make an exception for churches, but not for the hospitals, schools and other entities they run. But that should be exception enough.

Romney wants to ban abortion except in cases of rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. I think early abortions should be easy to get but that abortion is a complex issue with strong views on all sides.

Arguing over whether birth control should be basic of health care coverage is something else entirely and hard to fathom. The vast majority of American Catholics use birth control without apology.

The Gates Foundation runs a program providing contraceptives in impoverished countries. Melinda Gates, a practicing Catholic, staunchly defends it. By being able to control their fertility, she argues, women can begin a “virtuous economic cycle.”

Rich America has a poor country expanding within its borders. We, too, must help women in the poor America start a “virtuous economic cycle.”

Yes, all women have “access” to birth control. But with effective contraception costing hundreds a year, otherwise responsible low-income women might take their chances and have sex without it. We can’t afford not to ensure that those who want birth control, get it.

Judicial independence threatened by constitutional amendment To the editor, On Election Day, New Hampshire voters will be asked on Question Number 2 to amend the state Constitution by eliminating the fundamental separation of powers between the courts and Legislature by providing the Legislature with the authority to establish rules for the state’s court system.

Separation of powers was established to insulate the courts from pressures exerted by elected officials.

This proposed amendment attacks the concept of judicial independence;

it threatens to sow confusion over where the ultimate authority over the operation of the courts resides. The amendment will fundamentally alter the relationship between the three branches of government, tipping the balance in favor of the Legislature and effectively eliminating the established system of checks and balances.

Please vote NO on this ill-conceived proposal to alter the fundamental separation of powers that have served the state and country well.

LETTERS I do support Mr. Burchell, but he will indeed find his own path To the editor, Following a letter published in Saturday’s Sun, I feel compelled to respond to what the author(s) called a “radical agenda” and referring to my voting record as “regressive”.

First: There is a misunderstanding about the funding for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Their budget was not cut, but they were not given all of the increase that they requested. The Planned Parenthood issue is under the umbrella of the HHS, therefore funds were distributed according to the decisions of that department. I have no quarrel with Planned Parenthood.

Second: I agreed with the Republican Party that “ObamaCare” was not the answer to the health care dilemma.

Third: My record will show that I have always supported women’s rights, and remain pro-choice. I feel that abortion is a difficult issue, but also that it is a decision to be made between a woman and her doctor.

Fourth: I have never voted, nor would I, to repeal kindergarten.

Fifth: I don’t see the Voter ID bill as limiting access to the polls.

Sixth: This is correct. I have long believed that the UN is an unnecessary and extremely expensive agency.

Also, it is the United States who is first to provide support, both militarily and financially, for any oppressed or war-torn country.

Because I have endorsed Mr. Burchell doesn’t mean he must or will follow in my footsteps. I am not qualified, nor do I wish to have the capability of “anointing” anyone, that privilege belongs to a higher power. I will continue to support Mr. Burchell, and he will find his own path. He is receptive to the views of constituents, and has the intelligence and compassion to make wise choices for our District and the State of New Hampshire.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all who have voted for me for seven consecutive terms in the State Legislature. It has been an honor and a privilege to represent you and our community.

Representative David Russell Gilmanton

Andrew Hosmer will help project our most vulnerable citizens To the editor, How do we solve the issues of domestic abuse in New Hampshire? If you attended the debate in Franklin on Monday night, as I did, between the two candidates for State Senate (District 7), you know the answer. Josh Youssef, the Republican Candidate, would simply tell the victim: Just get out.

According to a report issued by the State’s Attorney General earlier this week, Domestic Abuse Homicide makes up 50 percent of homicides statewide. Josh Youssef does not have a plan to reduce this, instead he suggests the victims simply leave or make a different lifestyle choice.

Josh, I read your note on your campaign site, which states: “divorce is a personal and painful process.” Victims of domestic abuse live with fear and intimidation and do not have the luxury of asking for a divorce.

They are afraid to leave their abusive partner, the home where their children live, the community where their children attend school, and the area where they work. Leaving is often not an option.

The only domestic abuse shelter in District 7 is in Laconia. If someone is trying to get away from their abuser, and trying to protect their children, there’s no time to look up directions to the nearest shelter on Google maps.

They cannot just get up and leave.

So Josh, telling the voters in District 7, many of whom may be the one in four women who are victims of domestic abuse, to just leave is not a solution we will accept from our representative in the New Hampshire State Senate.

I will be voting for someone who will protect our most vulnerable: Andrew Hosmer.

LETTERS If we could collect our foreign IOUs, we could retire our debt

By time Mr. Divide Us All packs his bags China will be top dog

To the editor, Fibbing increased the cost of college tuition from $340 a year (when I went to college) to approximately $17,000 a year now, at the University of New Hampshire; an increase of something like an astronomical 5,000-percent. All of it due to fibbing, lots and lots of fibbing.

Fibbing is the primary cause of an overnight in a hospital increasing from $2 a night in 1939 at Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam, Connecticut, where I had an appendectomy, to about $1,500 a night at Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia. $2 to $1,500 dollars is about a 75,000-percent increase in the cost of an overnight in a hospital, is it not ? A 75,000-percent increase due to fibbing, astronomical lots of fibbing.

Fibbing killed the jobs that allowed a wife to be a “stay-at-home” wife Fibbing caused essentially all of the “inflation” that our nation has had.

Fibbing killed the jobs in manufacturing (which in turn, pay for the costs of government).

The State of New Hampshire works on a cash basis. The money for the State of New Hampshire budgets, and budgeting, comes from jobs that produce more in value than they consume. From my approximately 40 years in manufacturing, I learned that jobs in manufacturing produce enough in value that in generalities, a job in manufacturing produces enough value to support the family of the worker and in addition, seven more families. Jobs in agriculture produce enough in value to support the family of the farmer and in addition, one more family.

To the editor, One thing is for sure, we cannot run a first class empire while running a second class economy. That is exactly what is occurring. Our economy is in the steel trap jaws of Democratic failure. One worker out of every seven is either unemployed or under employed.

Twenty three percent of prime work force, men aged 25 to 54, lack full-time work. Obama just produced his 3rd annual trillion dollar plus DEFICIT in a row. Were carrying $16 trillion on credit cards that grows larger every hour. We face the menacing fiscal cliff of spending cuts and tax increases that the president seems unwilling to talk about. If it happens we will be in a new recession next year. Social Security and Medicare brought to you through the generosity of Democrats (the people who just put 20 million new people on food stamps) are both INSOLVENT. Eighty million baby boomers sit on the edge or retirement with 60-percent of them having saved $25,000 or less, 30-percent of them $1,000 or less — all destined to enjoy the magnificence of their GOLDEN YEARS on $1,200 bucks a month from Sammy. That is, if SAMMY doesn’t GREECE out of the game himself. The UNION RUN U.S. Post Office is bankrupt (AGAIN). No pol wants to fix that multi billion dollar boondoggle, least of all any Democrat.

Jobs in government exist, to protect, and defend from various harms; the manufacturing and farming wage earners.

By the way, beginning in 1948, (with the “Marshall Plan”) (and from 1950 under multiple plans put forth by the U.N. and its affiliates) our nation has been issuing many “IOU’s” every year.

My job in manufacturing required me to read the US Government publication, the “Commerce Business Daily”, which every day contained a list of the factories being given to other nations (among its other items, such as federal jobs coining up for bid.)

My “back-of-the- envelope” figuring, tells me that some 48 trillion dollars, (Yes, trillion with a “T”.) in “IOU’s, (over the years since 1948) that have been given to other nations in the form of factories to those other nations.

In about 1965, as a marketing supervisor for rubber-lined tanks at BF Goodrich, I helped obtain the purchase orders under which BF Goodrich supplied the “pickle lines” for two of the five steel mills that were being given as “IOU’s” to other countries that year (Turkey and the Philippines). (The money involved had to be IOU’s, because there is no constitutional provision that permits our Congress to give U.S. tax dollars to other nations.)

Therefore, in my opinion, if we were to collect on our IOU’s, we could pay off all our nation’s debt, we could fully-fund Social Security, and medical care, and education, and have something left over.

There are honorable & ethical strangers out there, like Evan To the editor, Last Tuesday, October 16th, (the night of the EARTHQUAKE!) my husband stopped to fill his truck and grab something to drink and eat at the Airport Country Store in Gilford before he headed on an hour’s drive.

While at the counter he and the clerk got into a discussion about two very large dogs in a truck outside.

An hour later he called me, rather frantic because he could not find his wallet. He asked if I would drive over to the gas station to see if it might be there, which I did.

I let a few people go ahead of me so there would not be someone stuck waiting if the news was good. He asked my husband’s name. Yes! He had the wallet! I waited while he went behind closed doors, emerging with the familiar rubber band around a

leather billfold. He asked if I knew what sort of vehicle my husband was driving. I responded and he handed me the wallet.

So often in a situation like this we expect the worst. This young man, Evan, could have given me any number of stories. He returned everything! There were several hundred dollars, credit cards, driver’s license and a blank check in the wallet. As I mentioned before, he could have told me anything and I would have had to believe him. I want to thank him again and announce to the world or anyone who reads this: there are honorable and ethical strangers out there.

Don’t be surprised. Be grateful and pay it forward!

Lamb shows up at forums & goes door-to-door asking for votes To the editor, I was sorry to see that Senator Jeannie Forrester did not attend the candidates’ forum televised live on Pemi-Baker Community Television on Wednesday, Oct. 24 or the Hebron Candidates Forum on October 15.

Many of us don’t know Jeannie.

When do we get to ask her what she’s done to help the residents of her district? Does she support our public schools? How does she think that cutting spending for road upkeep, the

us? Since tourism is so important to our area, where does she come down on environmental protection?

I’m going to vote for Bob Lamb. He not only shows up at forums, he also goes door to door asking for your vote.

He makes clear what he stands for and is not afraid to speak these beliefs in front of people he doesn’t know. I admire his efforts and will support him by voting for Bob Lamb for N.H. State Senate on November 6.

record levels caused from tuition that never stop RISING. Education top to bottom is controlled by UNIONS that demand the RIGHT to work for MORE. Translation, YOU PAY MORE AND OWE MORE (how nice). American individuals and corporations owe $39 trillion in debt, 2.5 times our annual total GDP. The risks to the U.S. economy at every turn are catastrophic.

The good news? Obama had time to stop in at The View to chat with the ladies and with Letterman. We have to praise his priorities. After four people died from a well-planned terrorist attack at our embassy in Benghazi, the president never missed a fund raiser. He may sleep through debates but he is always awake for a handout.

Since Ulysses Grant every America has awakened every morning with the U.S. owning the largest economy in the world. Not for much longer.

By the time Mr. DIVIDE US ALL packs his bags if he is lucky enough to hood wink the mice into another term, China becomes the TOP economic DOG on earth in 2017. They fill their economic sails with as much capitalism as they can hold. Under Mr. Disaster we are filling ours sails with as much SOCIALISM as they can hold producing the greatest flopping and floundering nipple economy in history.

Thanks to Jeanie Forrester for helping put together our forum To the editor, I would like to publicly thank Jeanie Forrester for her active involvement in helping us put together an economic development forum in Holderness this past week.

Jeanie didn’t just attend the meetings. She took the minutes, she helped secure grant funding for the event, she coordinated the invitations,

advertising, and press announcements, and she helped solicit the panelists. Jeanie was actively engaged throughout the process. She has always acknowledged that her communities are her priority and she works very hard to serve us.

LETTERS Obama has become most divisive president of my lifetime

Appalling that Forrester considers local control the be all & end all

To the editor, Though the mainstream media has done a masterful job of providing cover for President Obama, alternative media sites are exposing the vast corruption that has occurred in this administration. Fast & Furious, White House security leaks, the GSA scandal, the billions lost to unqualified green technologies, abuses of executive power and now the cover up surrounding the Benghazi terrorist attack which may dwarf Watergate when all is said and done. Top advisor Valerie Jarrett had more security around her than ambassador Stevens had around him on the 11th anniversary of 911 though our government had been apprised of the potential for a terrorist attack. Most people aren’t even aware of that. What do you think the Democrats and the media would have done if President Bush had whisked himself off to a Vegas fundraiser hours after a terrorist attack on sovereign American soil had left four people dead and the Middle East ablaze with rioting, burning of American flags and chants of “Obama, Obama, we are all Osama?”. Do you think they would have voiced their displeasure had President Bush apologized to the Muslim nation for some amateur movie trailer while Ambassador Stevens’ dead body was being dragged through the streets and al Qaeda flags were being raised at multiple foreign embassies?

This administration has bungled our domestic and foreign policies to such an extent that the mainstream media has either looked silly trying to keep the issues under wraps or in a few rare cases have actually voiced some displeasure with the actions of the White House. The absolute audacity, chutzpah and unpatriotic nature of our president who has spent the past year and a half campaigning on our dime rather than showing desperately needed leadership, is unfathomable. The actions of most of the media in spending far more time and energy

To the editor, I was one of the “handful of Democrats” who attended last week’s meeting of the Lakes Region Tea Party in Moultonborough. Thank you to the sponsors for opening up the meeting to non-members to have the opportunity to hear Senator Forrester.

What Sen. Forrester said about education funding caused me great concern. She decried the State Department of Education’s role in setting minimum standards for an adequate public education — too expensive for taxpayers! She would repeal requiring public kindergarten. No matter that New Hampshire was the last state to mandate public kindergarten and that other states are now funding pre-school education!

As an example of seemingly unnecessary federally mandated expense, she described visiting an elementary classroom. Two aides were teaching a special needs student, she presumed.

The implication was that that was an unnecessary financial burden to the school district. Certainly the federal government has never funded the special education law to the extent promised. But Sen. Forrester did not mention the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1974. That law for the first time ensured that every child with special needs, whether exceptionally brilliant, autistic, emotionally disturbed or developmentally delayed, would receive a free and appropriate public education. Under IDEA, most children are able to attend school in their community, not institutionalized or hidden at home. The rest of the civilized world emulated our treatment of children with special needs. But not Senator Forrester!

Jeanie Forrester and I will never know firsthand the burning desire of parents of special needs children that they have opportunities to develop their talents, to live a fulfilling and

critiquing Romney’s comments after the attack and repeating the 47-percent mantra ad nauseam, rather than searching for the truth is unconscionable. Grasping at straw man arguments against Romney while Obama’s foreign policy is in shambles shows an appalling lack of journalistic ethics. October 4th was the first day that the FBI was allowed to investigate the crime scene in Benghazi. Why did it take three weeks for Tripoli and Washington to work out a plan of action? How much evidence may have been tainted or destroyed? Will the mainstream media report the findings or bury the facts while promoting an avalanche of misrepresentations about the character and philosophy of Mitt Romney?

It is becoming increasingly clear that Barack Obama has become the most divisive president of my lifetime.

His class warfare tactics are causing racial tension and division in this country to an extent not seen since the 1960s. It is not really a surprise, now that we understand more about his childhood, college years and the dirty tactics that he employed while running for senator in Chicago. That history gives us insights as to why his actions show a hatred of capitalism and colonialism, a love for Marxist ideals and the preferential treatment he affords the Muslim world. Just why those characteristics of our leader do not strike fear into the hearts of more citizens escapes me. I am deathly afraid of what may happen to this country if our president is running the show until 2016. Somewhere in a parallel universe, Saul Alinsky must be shaking his progressive pom poms and beaming with pride at the totalitarian way this president is running this country with “Rules for Radicals” close by his side.

Let’s hope Jim Lehrer was being prophetic at the first presidential debate when he said, “Mr. President, your time is up”.

Let’s avoid the Shea-Porter Swamp of international bankruptcy To the editor, How does it help you if your “rich” neighbor’s taxes go up? Does it put any money at all in your bank account?

Does it make your next fill-up more affordable?

Let’s stop the class warfare, shall we Mr. Obama and Ms. Shea-Porter. Our country has a mushrooming budget deficit because this administration in Washington continues to borrow and print money it doesn’t have, not because we aren’t taxing “the rich” enough. Besides, how does raising taxes fix the underlying problem that created this deficit? That being our government spends more money than it takes in. If we simply raise taxes rather than control spending, then we have no day of reckoning and will only be discussing this issue again at an even higher deficit level. In the history of the world, no country has ever taxed its way to prosperity.

We need principled representatives in Washington to fix our spending problem. Mitt Romney has a milelong track record of balancing budgets

while Governor of Massachusetts and closing deficits like he did in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.

Frank Guinta has shown similar leadership as mayor of Manchester, when he cut spending and reduced the city’s borrowing, all the while, working with 11 Democrats and just two Republicans on the Board of Aldermen. Carol Shea-Porter has claimed “I’m not going to pretend to work with Republicans.” This divisive attitude just won’t get us where we need to go. She has no economic vision for our country nor our state and is following in the path of class warfare put forth by our Divider-in-Chief. She supports more blind loans to companies like Solyndra, that have squandered billions under Obama’s failed vision of green energy now.

Our path forward is clear. Fiscal discipline and prosperity with Rep. Guinta or more of the same as we sink deeper into the Shea-Porter Swamp of international bankruptcy.

dignified life. An acquaintance of mine, brain-damaged at birth, though unable to write or do math, is a wonderful artist with an awe-inspiring sense of color. Does Senator Forrester really want us to go back to the days when such children were ignored, never part of the greater community?

Senator Forrester then extolled the virtue of “local control”. Local communities should have the final say about how their children are educated, and pay only for those aspects of education they find of value, without having to meet standards or mandated requirements to receive state or federal funding. Given the disparities of property values in N.H. towns, I find it appalling that local control is her end all and be all. Under that regime, property-poor towns would never vote to provide equal opportunity for their students, never mind those with special needs. Let’s go back to the 18th century, when life was indeed simpler, Jeanie seems to be saying.

Forrester’s opponent in the Senate District 2 race, Robert Lamb, wants the N.H. education system to move forward to prepare students for the jobs of the future. Lamb supports opportunities for all students to succeed to the best of their ability in our complex real world. He understands the delicate balance between local, state and federal governments in defining, providing and funding that kind of education.

After hearing Forrester, I do not believe that she gets that. Her interest in keeping taxes down, no matter what the real cost, has hurt education in New Hampshire in many ways. A vote for Robert Lamb will move New Hampshire forward in education.

Please elect him as our state senator from District 2 on November 6.

More & more people becoming aware of Obama’s Benghazi scam To the editor, I read a story on Yahoo which captioned that Obama went “from hope to snark” at Monday’s debate. What the heck is snark, I asked myself? Looking in my old dictionary and it wasn’t there. So I went to the trusty PC. Guess what, it’s really a word! So okay some of the meanings are: crotchety, sarcastic or disrespectful, snide, impatient or irreverent. So okay I get it, being a jerk. Now don’t blame me, you on the left, I was as surprised as anyone to hear Rachael Maddow was one who was saying it. Readers might recall Rachael is one of the lefts leading Sara Palin haters having called her the C word on live TV some months ago. Don’t believe me? Look it up on Yahoo for yourself. Strange word or not they, those who used “snark”, hit the nail right on the head, Obama was a real jerk (in my opinion).

By now we know each side claimed the debate a win for their guy. Ho-hum what’s new there? What really matters is that millions of likely voters watched and I suspect didn’t think much of how the president conducted himself. And more and more people

are becoming aware of the scam Obama and Co. tried to put over on the American people regarding the Benghazi killings. Intelligent folks don’t like their candidates to look them in the eye and lie to them. Oh and just out, the results of the investigation into the “incident” isn’t scheduled to be released until after the election.

What a shock, another stonewalling

by Obama.

Even reasonable Democrats must be getting a little queasy trying to swallow the stuff our fearless leader is serving. His campaign is now in full panic mode; it appears as he denied saying and doing things we all watched and heard him say and do on TV as he did it. I know we the people are regarded as having short attention spans by the elite media but come on. Really, come on, lets not let the shamelessly slanted left lamestream media act as king makers.

Vote Obama out on Nov. 6th.

LETTERS Obama knows those who work hard & play fair deserve support To the editor, Few people noticed, but after 9/11, many pregnant widows were left to carry, deliver, and raise a child on their own. Reflecting on this event led me to wonder about our current number of military widows (and others), and I pondered which presidential candidate would lead a society that would be most supportive for a vulnerable, pregnant, widow. After much thought, I’ve decided that Obama’s willingness to support programs that offer women access to critical health care and child care services demonstrate his interest in supporting all women — including widows. In addition, his effort to ensure that businesses play by the rules contribute to an environment where it would be difficult for a business to fire a widow because she is pregnant or because she needs child care. Finally, Obama’s willingness to

seek fair pay (via the Lilly Ledbetter Act for Fair Pay), means that a just salary might reduce the chance of her slipping into poverty.

The programs Romney would cut, however, suggest a pattern where many critical services for women would be eliminated, and the misfortunes of a widow might be worsened.

Although some widows may be fortunate enough to have wealthy, loving and supportive families to help them, not all are so blessed. To that end, I’ve decided to support Obama because his programs are consistent with his idea that those who work hard and play by the rules, deserve support — not just those who work hard, play by the rules, and have a loving and supportive family that is wealthy enough to offer support when needed.

Greg Hill believes in business friendly state to attract companies To the editor, Please join me in re-electing my friend Greg Hill for state representative in District 3, representing Northfield and Franklin Ward 3. Greg is a man who says what he will do and does what he says. You never have to guess where Greg stands on an issue.

He’s proved it in how he has represented us for the past two years.

Greg was a co-author of the Education Tax Credit Bill, SB-372; a bill that garnered enough legislative support that it overcame the governor’s veto in the House and in the Senate. He has been a leader on several issues and committees guiding legislation to completion. View his voting record and his sponsored bills at http://www.gencourt. state.nh.us/house/members/member. aspx?member=376948. I am amazed at how hard he has worked for us!

He is a conservative. On economic issues his priorities include reducing business taxes, cutting spending and balancing the budget. He believes in creating a business friendly state to attract corporations to New Hampshire. That means more great jobs for our community and state.

While in Concord, Greg made the necessary tough decisions to get our state back on track. He took on the job with the vigor he puts into everything he does. Greg Hill is not your typical politician who tells you one thing get elected and does something different once in office. He did what he said he was going to do in the past two years.

He’ll continue to do that in the next two. Please Vote Greg Hill for State Representative.

What’s next for Romney? Take away a woman’s right to vote?

To the editor, President Obama has always been a strong advocate for women’s economic and health security, but Mitt Romney has not. President Obama believes women’s issues are America’s issues.

Listed are seven reasons women (and men) should not vote for Governor Romney: 1. Romney has promised to repeal ObamaCare (Affordable Health Care Act) which would deny millions of women preventative care including contraception, mammograms, and wellness visits; not to mention overall health care.

2. Romney has pledged to defund Planned Parenthood, which millions of women rely upon for their primary health services regarding women’s issues.

3. Romney is pro-life and has promised to appoint Supreme Court Justices to overturn Roe vs. Wade. Paul

Ryan is very anti-abortion also.

4. Romney supports the extreme measures of “personhood” which defines life at conception. This would ban common forms of birth control and in some cases vitro fertilization.

5. Romney says that employers and politicians should make women’s health decisions via the Blunt Act. 6. Romney is not concerned with equal pay for women. In fact for a while he didn’t even know what the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was.

7. The percentage of women in senior state government positions declined when Romney was Governor of Massachusetts.

What will be next? Will Governor Romney and the Republicans take away a woman’s right to VOTE? Dr. Thomas Dawson Laconia

Sale of liquid methadone charged LACONIA — A local man was ordered held on $15,000 cash only bail yesterday after being arrested Thursday night and charged with selling liquid methadone on three separate occasions.

N.H. Drug Task Force complaints say Alan R. Twamley, of 180 Union Avenue #5 sold liquid methadone on September 16 and September 23 at an unknown location in Laconia and again on October 14 in Belmont.

According to the Public Defender office lead attorney Jesse Friedman, Belmont Prosecutor David Estes and Laconia prosecutor James Sawyer appeared in the 4th Circuit Court,

Laconia Division on behalf of the DTF and requested the affidavits supporting Twamley’s arrest be sealed.

He said public defender Wade Harwood objected saying it was Twamley’s basic right of due process to examine the evidence against him.

Sawyer argued the purpose of the affidavit was to provide enough information only to justify his arrest.

The two sides compromised and the judge allowed Harwood to see the affidavits but not Twamley.

Should Twamley remain in jail, he has the right to have a probable cause hearing within 10 days.

STORM from page 2 could be historic,” said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the forecasting service Weather Underground.

“Mother Nature is not saying, ‘Trick or treat.’ It’s just going to give tricks.”

Government forecasters said there is a 90 percent chance — up from 60 percent two days earlier — that the East will get pounded.

Utilities are lining up out-of-state work crews and canceling employees’ days off to deal with expected power outages. From county disaster chiefs to the federal government, emergency officials are warning the public to be prepared. And President Barack Obama was briefed aboard Air Force One. Boat owners were yanking their vessels out of the water Friday at the Southside Marina in Point Pleasant Beach, N.J., about 60 miles south of New York City.

“We’re taking them out as fast as we can,” said marina employee Jim Martin.

Atlantic City’s casinos made con-

tingency plans in case they have to close, as they did for three days last year when Tropical Storm Irene approached.

Eastern states that saw outages that lasted for days after last year’s freak Halloween snowstorm and Hurricane Irene are already pressuring power companies to be more ready this time.

Asked if he expected utilities to be more prepared, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick responded: “They’d better be.”

Jersey Central Power & Light, which was criticized for its response to Irene, notified employees to be ready for extended shifts. In Pennsylvania, PPL Corp. spokesman Michael Wood said, “We’re in a much better place this year.”

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Thursday said the city was striking a tone of calm preparedness.

“What we are doing is we are taking the kind of precautions you should see next page

AFL-CIO from page one structure and improving infrastructure will be required to to counter or overcome these adverse trends. “How do you reconcile what they’ve done in the last few years with this report?” he asked. “Businesses looking for a place to locate read these reports.”

MacKenzie said that organized labor looks forward to partnering with the government in initiatives to

develop the workforce. “The AFL-CIO has invested in apprenticeship training for years,” he said. “We believe in repairing our roads and bridges.”

Hassan, he said, intends to increase funding for public schools, the university system and community colleges while Lamontagne would take “a very different direction with an austerity budget.”

Gilford High School seniors poke a little fun at their Principal Peter Sawyer with their “dressed up” pumpkin to begin the line of 48 decorated pumpkins in the front hall of Gilford High School awaiting judging down to four finalists. The winners will be announced on Monday. (Karen Bobotas/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

GHS students enjoying pumpkin competition

BY GAIL OBER

GILFORD — From the political “Mitt Zombie” to a whimsical porcupine, there was pumpkin mania at the Gilford High School this week when 46 advisory groups of students each planned and decorated their own pumpkin for a school-wide decorating contest.

Organized by the student council and adviser Sally Sessler, class-byclass the entire student body split into random groups of about 10 and asked to design and decorate a pumpkin.

Sessler said the pumpkin contest was team building exercise. She said the only rules were that the pumpkins couldn’t be carved and the items for decoration were limited to things commonly found in the school.

“The best thing was watching the teams march to the the front desk carrying their pumpkins,” Sessler said.

“It was a riot seeing them.”

Sessler said teachers from the

Middle School judged the entries and the top four pumpkins — one from each class — were put in the cafeteria where each student could buy and cast as many votes for the winner as he or she wanted for 25 cents each.

She said the idea behind paying for the votes was to pay back the student council, which bought about 20 of the pumpkins.

She said the school will do pumpkin decorating next year.

The final four pumpkins are the senior class entry Justin Bieber; the junior class entry that is decoupage with sayings; the sophomore class entry of the Ugly Ducking; and the freshman class entry of a pumpkin made to look like social studies teacher Brian Fitzpatrick.

She said the voting is ongoing and the winning pumpkin will be announced Monday.

Gilford Wal-Mart, Beans and Greens Farm and Picnic Rock Farm donated some of the pumpkins.

from preceding page expect us to do, and I don’t think anyone should panic,” Bloomberg said.

The city has opened an emergency situation room and activated its coastal storm plan.

Sandy was expected to deal only a glancing blow to North Carolina’s Outer Banks, where Lori Hilby said she planned to ride out this storm at home, unlike past storms such as Irene. Hilby, the manager at Tommy’s Natural Foods Market and Wine Emporium in Duck, N.C., said the shop would remain open throughout the storm. She said she sold a fair amount of beer and wine to people who planned to ride out the storm on the barrier island.

“I’ll never evacuate again,” Hilby said.

She said most of the power lines there are underground, so the power often

stays on even during powerful storms.

“Whenever I evacuate, I always end up somewhere and they lose power and my house is fine. So I’m always wishing I was home instead of at somebody else’s house with no power.”

There are still plenty of stores open in Duck, and Halloween decorations and displays were still on houses despite the rain that started to roll in Friday. Few homes were boarded up.

Some have compared the tempest to the so-called Perfect Storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, but that one hit a less populated area. Nor is this one like last year’s Halloween storm, which was merely an early snowfall.

“The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I’m thinking a billion” this time, Masters said. “Yeah, it will be worse.”

B&B from page one Lake House at Ferry Landing — formerly known as the Ferry Point B&B — since November of last year. The venture is a new way of life for the Beckers, who relocated to New Hampshire from Madison, Wis. John is familiar with the sacrifices of military service, having served in the Navy Reserves from 1986 to 1991. He then began a career as a lawyer, while Cindy was an art teacher turned stay-at-home mom. Now, all the Beckers, including their two teenage children, are engaged in the bed and breakfast industry.

Under previous owners, the establishment was operated seasonally, closing from Halloween to Memorial Day. The Beckers, though, are planning to operate through the winter, catering to ice fishermen and snowmobilers, and working with Gunstock Mountain Resort to offer ski-and-stay packages.

The Veterans Day offer seemed like a good way to kick off the off-season, and it’s certainly fulfilled

that role. The Beckers listed their participation on the “B&Bs for Vets” website and all the rooms were quickly booked, with many names on a waiting list.

All of their guests are from New England states, and about half are active duty personnel.

In the year that they’ve operated the business, the Beckers have met more than 1,000 people, including residents of 20 countries. “We’ve met all kinds of terrific people,” said Cindy, adding that she’s looking forward to meeting a few more on Veterans Day. “What’s frustrating to me is that the two wars we’ve been fighting have been invisible,” said John.

Unlike previous conflicts in American history, most citizens have not felt the wars in Iraq an Afghanistan affect their daily lives. Not so for active duty personnel or their families. He hopes an evening in a charming inn, overlooking Lake Winnisquam, will offer a measure of respite. “It’s a little thing that we can do,” he said.

X-BOX from page one Police said the cell phone caller who reported the incident told them the subjects were fighting with pools cues and crowbars.

When police arrived they said they stopped a car with three people in it just as it was leaving the property. Police charged Corey J. Alhin, 18, of 40 Oxbow Lane in Gilford with conspiracy to commit burglary

and Connor Hillsgrove, 29, of 1106 Province Road in Gilmanton, the driver of the car, with accomplice to burglary.

Hillsgrove and a female passenger in his car said they were asked by Ford and Grant to take them to Eastman Shore Road to retrieve some video games one of the three victims had allegedly taken from them. see next page

Parents alerted about Rx issue at LMS

LACONIA — A student at Laconia Middle School was found this week in possession of prescription drugs, which were not prescribed for him.

Principal Eric Johnson, in a letter to parents, explained that a student approached members of staff with “a concern about another student talking about participating in a risky behavior” and enabled officials to identify the student with the drugs.

Johnson said that Officer Steve Orton, the School Resource Officer, and the student’s parents met with school officials immediately. With assistance from the police, Johnson said “we are following through with the student who had the prescription drugs.”

Johnson, accompanied by Orton, was to speak to assemblies of each grade, impressing on them the dangers of taking a drug that has not been prescribed for them and engaging in other sorts of risky behavior.

He told parents they were welcome to attend the assemblies.

Johnson said that “we want to “reinforce the importance of the student who brought this matter to our attention.” He noted that he is “impressed and appreciative of the willingness some of our students have taken in the area of reporting real concerns” and assured parents that “our goal is to provide a safe and respectful environment for all our students.”

In closing, Johnson urged anyone with questions or suggestions to contact him and encouraged parents to take part in “Stand Up 4 a Drug Free Laconia,” a committee convened by Better Together with support from the Laconia Middle School Parent Teachers Organization and the Laconia Police Department. The committee meets on the fourth Thursday of each month in the middle school library at 4 p.m.

Generation gap, as well as ideology gap, in race to represent House District 1

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

NEW HAMPTON & CENTER HARBOR — The contest for the seat in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from the towns of New Hampton and Center Harbor, offers voters a clear choice between two candidates of different generations.

Democrat Ruth Gulick of New Hampton, a retired attorney, is making her second bid for the seat won by Republican Tyler Simpson in 2010. This time her Republican rival is Tim Quinney of Center Harbor, a student of business and finance at the University of New Hampshire, who has played an active role in both student and partisan politics.

“The thing I’m good at is advocating,” said Gulick, who always carried at least three pro bono cases during her 25 years at the bar. Describing her politics as “left of center,” she is unsparing in her critique of the from preceding page Police also saw Ford walking down the driveway and noticed he had a bloody lip.

He told police the people in the house had punched him in the face.

Police interviewed Grant and three other males, including one who was a resident of the home, and said they all said Ford and Grant had come through the ground level sliding-glass door. Grant told police Ford had pried open the slider.

Republican majority that controlled the House for the past two years. She called opening the Statehouse to firearms, “idiotic” and cutting funding for higher education “disgraceful.”

Referring to the pledge against broad-based taxes, Gulick said that “reliance on the property taxes is destructive and to take an income or sales tax off the table is insane.” She favors returning the tobacco tax to its prior rate and raising the gas tax to fund improvements in raids and bridges, She also believes the state should increase its investment in elementary and secondary education.

“You need a magnet for business,” she said, “and that is an intelligent skilled workforce.”

Quinney did not respond to inquiries about his background or stands on issues. On his website, he characterizes himself as a champion of “limited government, limited taxation, limited see next page

Affidavits also said Ford hit the man who allegedly took his games in the head with a pool cue.

Affidavits said Ahlin also gave police an X box and some other games that he said may have been taken from the three men in the house.

Ford initially refused bail and yesterday Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $500 cash and $5,000 personal recognizance bail. Grant, Ahlin and Hillsgrove are free on personal recognizance bail.

National Hockey League cancels games through Nov. Man overboard plucked NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL lockout has forced an 82-game regular season for our fans. Unfortufrom big lake off Bear Island the cancellation of all games through the end of nately, that did not occur.

November.

The NHL announced Friday that 326 regular-season games from Oct. 11 through Nov. 30 were lost — more than 26.5 percent of the schedule. The news came a day after a league-imposed deadline passed for a deal with the players’ association that would allow for a full season.

“The National Hockey League deeply regrets having to take this action,” Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement. “By presenting a proposal to the NHLPA that contemplated a fair division of revenues and was responsive to player concerns regarding the value of their contracts, we had hoped to be able to forge a long-term collective bargaining agreement that would have preserved

from preceding page limited spending and economic opportunity,” who favors investment in workforce training and infrastructure. He recommends free market solutions for environmental problem and reserving welfare for the truly needy while supporting Right-to-Work legislation.

Quinney wrote that “college made Tim a conservative.” He is a member of the student senate at UNH, serves as vice-chairman of the New Hampshire College Republican Federation and treasurer of the UNH College Republicans. In 2010 he worked on the state Senate campaign of Russell Prescott as well as Kelly Ayotte’s bid for the United States Senate. In the presidential primary he supported Jon Huntsman of Utah and has since joined Mitt Romney’s campaign for president.

“We acknowledge and accept that there is joint responsibility in collective bargaining and, though we are profoundly disappointed that a new agreement has not been attained to this point, we remain committed to achieving an agreement that is fair for the players and the clubs — one that will be good for the game and our fans.”

The dispute is all too similar to the 2004-05 lockout that led to the cancellation of that entire season — the first time a North American professional sports league lost a complete campaign to a labor dispute.

Reaching a new deal potentially became even tougher Friday, because the NHL pulled off the table its most recent offer to the players — one that included a 50-50 split of hockey-related revenues.

“The league officially informed us today that they have withdrawn their latest proposal and have cancelled another slate of regular-season games,” union executive director Donald Fehr said in a statement.

“This is deeply disappointing for all hockey fans and everyone who makes their living from hockey, including the players. But it comes as no surprise.”

Whether any of the canceled games can be rescheduled in the event of a quick settlement remains to be seen.

Daly told the AP in an email that if a deal is reached, the league will try to play as many games as possible.

“Having said that, once clubs begin releasing dates and rebooking their buildings, as they will be free to do for the month of November, the process will obviously get more difficult and complicated,” he wrote.

A quick decision on the status of the New Year’s Day outdoor Winter Classic and the All-Star game later in January isn’t expected, Daly said.

“They’re going to keep exercising the power that they have to be able to lock us out, and the thought that they can cancel games to try to sway us their way,” Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews said. “We’ll see what happens in the next little while and see where it goes from there.”

MEREDITH — By-standers near Shep Brown’s Boat Basin on Meredith Neck saved a Massachusetts man who fell from his 17-foot Boston Whaler and was being circled by his run-away boat.

Marine Patrol said Philip Lake, 45, of South Hamilton, Mass. was not wearing a life preserver on Lake Winnipesaukee, nor was he using his “kill switch” that cuts the power to the engine if the pilot falls overboard.

When Marine Patrol arrived at the scene between Meredith Neck and Bear Island, bystanders had gotten pulled from the water but the boat was still circling Marine Patrol was able to secure the boat and said there was no damage. Lake was unharmed.

Marine Patrol cautions boaters to always wear a life preserver and the use the boats safety lanyard.

More Zumba names released

KENNEBUNK, Maine (AP) — Police on Friday released another round of names of men they believe paid for sex with a woman who’s charged with using her Zumba dance studio as a front for prostitution in the seaside town.

The names bring to 39 the number of men charged with engaging a prostitute. Many more names will be released in coming weeks, police say.

None of the 18 men whose names were released Friday was from Kennebunk, a town of about 10,000 residents known for its beaches, sea captain’s mansions and New England charm. They came from elsewhere in Maine, New Hampshire and Boston and apparently didn’t include anyone who’s widely known.

The prostitution scandal has been unfolding in slow motion, with the first 21 john suspects’ names released two weeks ago. The names released so far include a former mayor and the local high school ice hockey coach.

The town made international headlines when dance instructor Alexis Wright was charged this month with engaging in prostitution. Police said she videotaped many of the encounters without WORSHIP SERVICES AT 8AM & 10:15AM her clients’ knowledge www. goodshepherdnh.org ~ All Are Welcome! and kept meticulous Pastor Dave Dalzell records.

Upper West Side parents shaken as nanny accused of murdering 2 kids NEW YORK (AP) — The nightmarish case of a nanny accused of stabbing to death two children in her care stunned the family’s well-to-do neighborhood and caused legions of parents to wonder how well they know who is watching their kids.

The nanny, Yoselyn Ortega, lay in critical condition Friday with what police said were self-inflicted knife wounds, and investigators were unable to question her, in part because she was still breathing with the help of a tube.

Her motive and mental state remained a mystery, authorities said, and no charges were filed.

On Thursday evening, the children’s mother, Marina Krim, took her 3-year-old daughter home from a swim lesson to find her other youngsters, ages 2 and 6, dying of knife wounds in the bathtub of their Upper West Side apartment near Central Park. Ortega then turned the blade on herself, police said.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the investigation has yet to reveal anything amiss in the household before the slayings.

Police were looking into whether Ortega, a 50-yearold naturalized U.S. citizen who had worked for the

family for two years, had recently sought psychiatric help. Detectives were searching her home in Washington Heights, a working-class neighborhood north of where she worked and near Harlem.

If there was tension between the nanny and the Krims, it didn’t show on a Web journal kept by the children’s mother. Marina Krim spoke lovingly in one entry about traveling to the Dominican Republic last February to stay for several days at the home of Ortega’s sister.

“We met Josie’s amazing familia!!! And the Dominican Republic is a wonderful country!!” she wrote.

Pictures posted on the blog showed the two families posing together for a happy photo, with Ortega hugging the 3-year-old, Nessie, their cheeks pressed together.

Marina Krim, whose husband, Kevin Krim, is a CNBC digital media executive, wrote that Ortega’s family had nicknamed little Nessie “Rapida y Furiosa,” (or Fast and Furious), for her exuberance and energy.

There are tens of thousands of nannies working in New York City, but reports of serious violence by

caregivers against children are exceedingly rare.

Parents are accused of killing their own children with far more frequency.

More common are stories about nannies like Brunilda Tirado, who threw her body over a stroller to protect a baby from falling debris during a building collapse in the same Manhattan neighborhood in 2005. She suffered a broken arm and other injuries.

The slayings will undoubtedly prompt many parents hiring a nanny to check references more thoroughly and swallow hard over the possibility that they might unknowingly hire a person who would do their child harm.

“For working parents this is a nightmare. Every mother I know is asking today, ‘How do I go back to work?’” said Denise Albert, who has two young children and lives a few blocks from the site of the tragedy.

She stopped by the building to pay her respects, recalling a painful time she had to fire a nanny after 3 1/2 years when she found out the woman was lying about where she was taking the kids.

New Urban Farmers describe success stories at meeting November 8 at Gilford Middle School GILFORD — The New Urban Farmers will present an overview of their group, its mission, and success stories, on Thursday, November 8 at the Gilford Middle School starting at 6:30 p.m.

Also part of the presentation will be John Lash, Food Service Director for the Gilford School system, and Kevin Halligan of the Local Eatery in Laconia to discuss how they find and incorporate locally grown foods into their menus.

Locally grown/produced refreshments will be served at this event. There is a small fee to attend this program and the registration deadline is November 5.

The New Urban Farmers is a successful project

based inner city agricultural organization operating in Rhode Island. A few of the projects of note for the New Urban Farmers are the start up of a mobile farmers market, a one acre intensive growing operation within a housing development, the use of geodesic dome greenhouses, and incorporating aquaponics into their production methods.

This organization believes that through a small system of satellite farms within the city, not only can people grow food but also can rebuild the community.

For more information on the program contact the Belknap County Conservation District at telephone (603) 527-5880 or visit website www.belknapccd.org to download the registration information.

LACONIA — Tom Clairmont, President & CEO of LRGHealthcare and Carmen Lorentz, Executive Director of the Belknap County Economic Development Council (BCEDC) present “Building Healthy Communities”, a 90-minute gathering to hear a presentation by Mark Fenton (www.markfenton.com) - transportation, planning and public heath consultant, on Friday, November 2 from 7:30-9 a.m. at the Belknap Mill in downtown Laconia.

The presentation will examine what programs and policies can the community implement that will encourage more tourists to visit, more businesses to move here, and more young people to stay or relocate here? How can these same programs and policies encourage more active lifestyles, impacting the obesity epidemic and related diseases including diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, heart disease, cancer, mental health issues and other serious health conditions?

During the discussion the community will be addressing the above questions as well as topics including; the lack of sidewalks and bicycle lanes on narrow or heavily traveled roads, busy traffic intersections with inadequate crosswalks, and local zoning laws that discourage the connection between residential areas and schools to help provide safe and accessible opportunities for physical activity, among other issues.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 2010 State Indicator Report on Physical Activity (SIRPA) provides information on physical activity behaviors and access, land use, and transportation policies within each state. New Hampshire data from the SIRPA showed that only 16% of New Hampshire census blocks have a park within a half-mile of their boundary.

Cowboys, Ghosts, Witches & Superheroes Halloween is just around the corner. Kids will be out Trick or Treating in their scary costumes trying to see who can collect the biggest stash of candy and goodies. I got thinking about some of the classic costumes kids wear and realized that most of these costumes “fit” pretty well on real estate agents. While they may not be as visible as the ones the kids wear, they are pretty apparent once you describe them. Sometimes you see it in the way they act, their mannerisms, and how they conduct business. Here are just a few of the costumes you might see: The Cowboy Agent: Kids always like to wear a cowboy hat and two six shooters. The Cowboy Real estate agent is a quick draw and can sometimes get you a good deal and sometimes miss the target altogether. Usually wears pointy toed boots and drives a pick-up truck.

The Devil Agent: You might not see the tail and the horns right away, but this always tries to push you into something you don’t want. Never make a deal with the devil.

The Dracula Agent: This agent sucks the life out of buyers by continually chasing and calling them trying to get them to buy something. He is easily recognized as he has just a little dab of blood on his lip.

The Dwarf, The Pixie, The Elf, or The Hobbit Agent: These agents all specialize in short sales (of course!)

The Ghost Agent: Sometimes you see him, sometimes you don’t. This agent generally has a fulltime job other than real estate so he disappears a lot. He’ll give you a great sales pitch, but you can see right through him.

The Mickey or Minnie Mouse Agent: It is a small world after all. You can tell this agent because the paper work they produce is...well, it’s pretty Mickey Mouse...

The Princess Agent: This agent is pretty easy to identify. While she may not wear a tiara she is always dressed more for a dinner party than showing real estate. Her high heeled shoes aren’t great for walking the back yard after a heavy rain.

She is definitely not someone that will help during the septic inspection.

The Raggedy Ann or Andy Agents: These agents all deal with bank owned property. They look like tattered, worn out versions of their former selves as a result of dealing with some of the worst transactions in real estate.

603/536-6099 · info@mcgauctions.com

The Skeleton Agent: This agent is easily recognizable as he is just a tad thin from the lack of food. Stay away from this agent as he has not been able to sell anything for a very long time.

The Scarecrow Agent: This agent tries pretty hard but doesn’t quite get it. Some say he doesn’t have a brain therefore he can be very scary to work with.

The Tin Man Agent: This agent is usually pretty stiff and has no sense of humor. He is very knowledgeable but doesn’t have a heart, usually has a pocket protector and won’t go out in the rain to look at property.

The Witch Agent: She is probably the easiest agent to recognize. She sometimes arrives riding on a directional sign instead of a broom cackles a lot, she’s kind of bitchy, and tries to cast a spell over buyers and sellers.

The Warlock Agent: Ditto to above except that the directional sign is not the desired mode of travel.

The Wizard Agent: This agent looks very old and wise. He has been in the business a long, long time and has the uncanny ability to somehow always wave his wand at a critical point in a transaction and make things come out all right.

The Zombie Agent: This agent is better known as The Walking Dead Agent and is similar to the Ghost Agent because he isn’t very responsive to your needs.

Luckily, lots of the agents I know around here fall into the Superhero class of agents. You know, the Captain America, Iron Man, Superman, Superwoman, or Batman type of agents that work hard every day for their clients and keep the real estate world safe. They are faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a bad home inspection, and able to leap medium size hedges in a single bound. Super Agents are everywhere in the Lakes Region, but they all look normal, you know, like Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, or Diana Prince (that’s Wonder Woman.) The only Superhero that I would be concerned about doing business with might be the Incredible Hulk. If your final walk-though goes poorly it could be disastrous to your new home. He can be kind of a bull in a china closet, if you know what I mean. So how do you find this Super Hero?

Ask your friends, Superheroes do get around... see next page

Hoop Suite dancers come to Holderness Taylor Community partners with LRCC for educational lecture series

HOLDERNESS — The Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire & Anna Myer and Dancers will bring Hoop Suite to the Hagerman Auditorium at Holderness School at 7 p.m., on Saturday, November 3.

Hoop Suite brings a company of 25 dancers and poets from Boston to New Hampshire to present a heart-pounding performance that melds modern dance, classical music, spoken-word rap poetry, hip-hop movement and basketball.

Hoop Suite was created through a collaboration between one of Boston’s top professional dance companies, Anna Myer and Dancers, known for their physically and visually innovative choreography, and youth from some of Boston’s toughest public housing developments.

The project is built on a long-term educational plan designed to engender literacy, responsibility and opportunity by encouraging inner-city youth to explore dance, poetry, and behind-the-scenes technical work in a professional setting.

The company will also perform “Hindsight Now,” an emotionally charged work about transformation. Also featured will be local high-school students who have participated in dance and poetry workshops as part of the New Hampshire Hoop Suite project.

Advance reservations are required for the Holderness School performance. Donations will be gratefully accepted. People can email info@ aannh.org or call 323-7302 to reserve tickets. Hoop Suite is recommended for children ages 10 and older.

LACONIA — Taylor Community has partnered with Lakes Region Community College for a series of educational lectures. LRCC professors will present topics including Fire and Fall Prevention, scheduled for Nov. 15 and Writing the Great American Novel, to be presented in December.

All lectures will be held at the Woodside Building, 435 Union Ave., Laconia.

“We’ve always wanted a relationship with the Community College,” explained Tim Martin, Taylor President/CEO. “Dr. Scott Kalicki was very open to exploring ways he and his faculty could help enrich our residents’ lives through various educational opportunities. This is an exciting venue for people who are hungry for intellectual and cultural activities – for those who live here as well as the

local community.”

Doctor Kalicki said “We have a unique opportunity to partner with Taylor to provide education programming which might not otherwise be available to this important group of citizens,” he said.

He hopes the lecture series will help residents and family members see LRCC as a valuable resource to the local area and engage with the college in any number of ways. “As we improve our facilities and hold more events which are open to the public on our campus, we want Taylor Community residents to feel comfortable attending special events here. We’ll also explore the possibility of residents attending selected classes. They no doubt have a wealth of experience and knowledge that perhaps can be tapped into for our traditional students,” he said.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). With the sun now full steam ahead in your sign, you are an unstoppable force of nature. Yes, your task list is lengthy. But the more you have to do today the more you’ll get done.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s no major conflict in your foreseeable future, except perhaps between warring factions of your own belief system. This touch of cognitive dissonance makes the day more interesting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’re the most committed person you know right now, especially concerning your commitment to fun. Your play today deserves at least as much attention as your work did yesterday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Rationalizations are a normal part of human brain function, designed to ease the anxiety caused by ideas that don’t mesh well in the mind. However, you are not interested in excuses. You’d rather get comfortable with the truth.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may have an entirely valid complaint, and yet expressing it will only put a damper on the group dynamic. Consider presenting this grievance in the form of a solution.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 27).

You’ll have much to be proud of. Your astute observations will be instrumental to an improvement that affects many people before the end of the year. Seek quality entertainment and company in November. December brings romance.

You’ll shift to new interests and studies in March and will also change your appearance. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 38, 14 and 39

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Entertaining wild ideas is similar to entertaining wild animals -- and every bit as dangerous. You’ll chase one such ferocious notion today and wind up trying to scare it back with a stick.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There is some very unglamorous work that needs doing, and unfortunately, the responsibility is all yours. Try taking it in 10-minute chunks. If you only spend 10 minutes every hour for six hours, it will nearly be finished.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Brevity may be the soul of wit, but today it’s also at the heart of misunderstandings.

Better to overstate yourself than to shortchange discourse by leaving too much information out.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It feels like you’re the creator of your own show and the other actors are reading directly from the script you wrote for them -- except when they go “off script.” But you can improvise with the best of them.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You love the people who make you laugh, but you don’t always like all of their jokes.

Crossing the line is always a danger with humor, especially if said humor is a bit on the dark side.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Trying to keep a schedule will seem difficult and possibly even fruitless. Still, you’re better off for the attempt to organize your efforts. Avoid trying to organize others, though. They will likely resent any efforts to control them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve let go of petty grievances, and now there’s room for more sunshine to stream in. You deserve good things to happen. Pleasant and harmonious hours stretch before you.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 27, 1787, the first of the Federalist Papers, a series of essays calling for ratification of the United States Constitution, was published under the pseudonym “Publius” (the essays were a collaborative effort by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay).

On this date: In 1795, the United States and Spain signed the Treaty of San Lorenzo (also known as Pinckney’s Treaty), which provided for free navigation of the Mississippi River.

In 1858, the 26th president of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, was born in New York City.

In 1880, Theodore Roosevelt married his first wife, Alice Lee. In 1886 (New Style date), the musical fantasy “A Night on Bald Mountain,” written by Modest Mussorgsky (MOH’-dest muh-SAWRG’-skee) and revised after his death by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, was performed in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1904, the first rapid transit subway, the IRT, was inaugurated in New York City.

Rudolf Anderson Jr. In 1971, the Democratic Republic of Congo was renamed the Republic of Zaire (but it went back to its previous name in 1997).

In 1978, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin (menAH’-kem BAY’-gihn) were named winners of the Nobel Peace Prize for their progress toward achieving a Middle East accord.

In 1992, Petty Officer Allen Schindler, a gay U.S. Navy sailor, was beaten to death near Sasebo Naval Base in southwestern Japan by shipmate Terry Helvey, who pleaded guilty to murder and was sentenced to life in prison.

One year ago: European leaders clinched a deal they hoped would mark a turning point in their two-year debt crisis, agreeing to have banks take bigger losses on Greece’s debts and to boost the region’s weapons against market turmoil.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My cousin and her husband have four young kids. My family is invited to every birthday and Christmas party. Of course, they expect a gift each time. They even register for toys and clothes. Their kids are already spoiled with bedrooms overcrowded with stuff. They also post pictures on Facebook of trips to local museums and restaurants, so money doesn’t appear to be a problem.

The problem is, my cousin’s family is otherwise so busy that these parties are the only days my kids can be in their lives. If we don’t go, we never see them. They rarely call or visit. They’ll come over if we invite them to a barbecue or something, but they don’t reciprocate.

I don’t want to end the relationship, but it feels one-sided.

My cousin’s father was like a father to me. After he died, I wanted to stay involved in her children’s lives. I have tried to keep this relationship going, but every year it gets harder.

Any advice? -- Tennessee Dear Tennessee: It’s sweet that you want to stay close to your cousin and her family, but please don’t expect them to respond as if you are best friends. Socializing with relatives can be a bit more limited without creating ill will. Continue to attend the kids’ birthday parties, but don’t feel obligated to spend a fortune on a gift. Instead, offer to take the birthday child for a special outing so you can get to know each of them individually. Invite them over for family functions if you wish. Put less of an obligation on this relationship, and you may find it is easier to handle.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of five and am a lonely, 39-year-old single woman. I admit that I have made some poor choices. We live in a small town, and everyone knows about my mistakes. But instead of standing up for me, my family members, including my own mother, delight in slandering my name. My brothers’ wives can be particularly cru-

el.

To me, when someone attacks a family member, the proper response is to say that you won’t speak gossip or evil, and demonstrate loyalty by refusing to discuss such things. Most people would respect that.

I have never hurt anyone or done anything unforgivable. I am raising three kids alone while studying to be a nurse, and I’m also a talented photographer. I never get credit for any success in my life. None of these things matters to my family.

I have been tormented and disrespected for years.

I am horrified at the dawning realization of how much of a lie my family life has been. So I am planning to move to another state and cut all ties. I am in therapy and learning that I don’t deserve this terrible treatment. Please tell your readers not to judge their family members or hold their past against them. -- Moving On Now Dear Moving On: Family members have been known to treat one another terribly because they expect to be repeatedly forgiven and tolerated. We are glad you are receiving therapy, and we hope it will help you get a fresh start.

Dear Annie: I would like to pass on an idea I came up with to distribute belongings to family members.

I had a large doll collection in pristine condition. I invited my two daughters and two granddaughters to an “auction.”

They were each given a paddle and Monopoly money. I also gave them a “debit card” that was worth $50 per hour. If they ran out of “money,” they could use their debit card and work off the amount they purchased by helping around my house.

By the end of the auction, each child had the dolls they wanted. Now when I go to their houses, I see my dolls on display, but they aren’t taking up space in my house. -- Happy Auctioneer

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Moultonborough Grange hall is one of seven community landmarks statewide recognized on the ‘Seven to Save’ list for 2012, as announced on Tuesday, October 16 at the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance’s annual meeting in Manchester.

“Our 2012 ‘Seven to Save’ list contains the kind of

places that you can’t imagine your community without,” said Maggie Stier, representative for the Preservation Alliance. “Advocates for these places know that saving the past enriches the present, and today we recognize seven great opportunities to transform threatened resources into vibrant community assets once again.”

The Moultonborough Grange hall is owned by the Moultonborough Historical Society, and is significant both for its architecture and for its social history in the community.

Since the building’s critical structural condition was discovered in June 2012, the Historical Society has partnered with the Moultonborough Heritage Commission to identify and take appropriate steps to save this landmark building and to plan for its future in Moultonborough Village. The Grange could house a theatre or other cultural use upstairs, or be rehabilitated for a contemporary use such as a tavern or cafe.

As noted at the ‘Seven to Save’ announcement event, the Moultonborough Grange needs funding for stabilization and a re-use plan so that it can once again play a key role in the life of the village center.

Kathy Garry, president of the Moultonborough Historical Society, noted at the event that “there is much work ahead, and supporters, partners, and proposals

are welcome. We are very grateful for the visibility brought to our efforts to save the Moultonborough Grange by this ‘Seven to Save’ designation.”
