CONCORD — The economic and demographic forces that produced decades of prosperity for the Granite State have pretty much petered out, according to a new report from the New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies. Unless state policymakers act to revitalize or replace those forces — which created a growing, skilled workforce bolstered by people moving to New Hampshire — the local economy will become less competitive with the rest of New England and the nation, the nonpartisan group’s leaders said yesterday. “We’re not predicting Armageddon or anything like that,” said Daniel Barrick, the center’s deputy director and a former Monitor reporter. “But . . . in the near long-term, post-Great Recession, what are the tools that we need to rearm ourselves with to survive? see STUdy page 10

LACONIA — It’s been more than four decades since the members of Laconia High School’s Class of 1971 left the school. They’ve never stopped being Sachems, though, and they’re seizing the opportunity of a $1-million capital campaign to forever memorialize their sentiments for their alma mater. To purchase an engraved paver that will become part of the entrance to Bank of New Hampshire Stadium, the class collected more than $1,000 to donate toward the campaign, which will help enable the construction of a state-of-the-art athletic facility with a highly durable artificial playing surface, ideal for football and many other sports. The athletic facility is part of an over-

CONCORD — Republicans yesterday jumped on a statement by Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan, which was curiously reported by the press, to charge that she harbors a plan to increase the Rooms and Meals Tax. Speaking to the Gubernatorial Tourism Summit at the Grappone Center on Wednesday, Hassan was asked about taxes affecting the tourist industry. The Union-Leader reported her to say that “I’m not going to support any raise in the rooms and meals tax above 9.5-percent.” She then continued, “as we all know, budgets are compromise documents, but I think it would be very ill-advised to raise the rooms and meals tax.” Since current rate of the tax is 9-percent, the two statements are at odds with one another, though this went unreported. Representatives Peter Silva (R-Nashua), Majority Leader of the House of Representatives, and Stephen Stepanek (R-Amherst), chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, were quick to pounce. Recalling that as a state senator, Hassan voted to raise the rooms and meals tax from 8-percent to see TaX page 11

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox thought Bobby Valentine would restore order to a coddled clubhouse that disintegrated during the 2011 pennant race. Instead, he only caused more problems. The brash and supremely confident manager was fired on Thursday, the day after the finale of a season beset with internal sniping and far too many losses. Valentine went 69-93 in his only year in Boston, the ballclub’s worst in almost 50 years. “I understand this decision,” Valentine said in a statement released by the team. “This year in Boston has been an incredible experience for me, but I am as disappointed in the results as are ownership and the great fans of Red Sox Nation. ... I’m sure next year will be a turnaround year.” A baseball savant who won the NL pennant with the New York Mets and won it all in Japan, Valentine was brought in after two-time World Series champion Terry Francona lost control of the clubhouse during an unprecedented September collapse. But the players who took advantage of Francona’s hands-off see RED SOX page 9

Romney sees ‘victory in sight’ after strong debate showing DENVER (AP) — Buoyed by a powerful debate showing, Mitt Romney said Thursday he offers “prosperity that comes through freedom” to a country struggling to shed a weak economy. President Barack Obama accused the former Massachusetts governor of running from his own record in pursuit of political power. Both men unleashed new attack ads in the battleground states in a race with little more than a month to run, Obama suggesting Romney couldn’t be trusted with the presidency, and the Republican accus-

ing the president of backing a large tax increase on the middle class. The debate reached 67.2 million viewers, an increase of 28 percent over the first debate in the 2008 presidential campaign. The measurement and information company Nielsen said Thursday that 11 networks provided live coverage of the debate. Not even Democrats disputed that Romney was likely to benefit politically from the debate Wednesday night in which he aggressively challenged Obama’s stewardship of the economy and said his own

plans would help pull the country out of a slow-growth rut. Still, there was no immediate indication that the race would expand beyond the nine battleground states where the rivals and their running mates spend nearly all of their campaign time and advertising dollars. Debate host Colorado is one of them, and Virginia, where Romney headed for an evening speech, is another. So, too, Wisconsin, Obama’s destination for a mid-day rally. Nevada, Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, Florsee ROMENY page 4

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — His performance panned, President Barack Obama is changing his debate strategy against Republican Mitt Romney, aides conceding the president must find a crisper way to sell his agenda and counter his opponent without getting lost in the weeds. The heart of Obama’s new message with less than five weeks to go: Romney is a liar. Expect that theme — expressed in softer terms from the president than from his

aides — to drive Obama’s advertising and messaging for days. Wednesday night’s debate showed Obama was rusty, rambling and cautious, but his aides insist he emerged with a real opening to target Romney’s assertions. “Gov. Romney may dance around his positions, but if you want to be president, you owe the American people the truth,” Obama declared in his first post-debate appearance, a Thursday rally in Denver.

He displayed an energy that was conspicuously absent in the debate. The new line of argument is based on the Obama campaign’s contention that Romney, while sharp and commanding on the debate stage, delivered a series of statements that don’t stand up to factual scrutiny. They singled out Romney’s positions on tax cuts, education and outsourcing as misleading to the middle class. see OBAMA page 12

NEW YORK (AP) — The potential scope of the meningitis outbreak that has killed at least five people widened dramatically Thursday as health officials warned that hundreds, perhaps thousands, of patients who got steroid back injections in 23 states could be at risk.

Clinics and medical centers rushed to contact patients who may have received the apparently fungus-contaminated shots. And the Food and Drug Administration urged doctors not to use any products at all from the Massachusetts pharmacy that supplied the suspect steroid solution.

It is not clear how many patients received tainted injections, or even whether everyone who got one will get sick. So far, 35 people in six states — Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Florida, North Carolina and Indiana — have contracted see MENINGITIS page 5

Gardner says ‘it cannot be’ that non-residents can domicile in N.H. for voting only

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Secretary of State William Gardner has weighed in on the state’s new voter registration law, saying “it cannot be” that non-residents can somehow claim domicile for voting purposes only. Gardner submitted an affidavit Wednesday as the state Supreme Court prepares to hear a dispute over the law, which was passed by the Legislature over Gov. John Lynch’s veto. It requires new voters to sign a statement saying they declare New Hampshire their domicile and are subject to laws that apply to all residents, including laws requiring drivers to register cars and get a New Hampshire driver’s license. A Strafford County Superior Court judge last week sided with out-of-state college students and civil liberty groups who challenged the law and ordered the secretary of state’s office to remove the paragraph about residency laws from the voter registration form. That prompted the attorney general’s office to

ask the state Supreme Court to put the lower court’s ruling on hold and to review the case itself. In his ruling, Strafford County Superior Court Judge John Lewis said the wording of the new registration form was at odds with state law and would harm the rights of students who traditionally have been allowed to declare the state their domicile for voting purposes without holding legal residency. The statement doesn’t specifically require students to be residents but makes them subject to hundreds of laws involving residency. Gardner said all relevant statutes require domicile in the state and a current intent to remain. “Once you have established domicile under the voter registration law, you have established domicile for the purpose of determining residency,” Gardner wrote. “Once you have established domicile for the purpose of determining residency, you have established an obligation to follow state law. This specifically includes the laws requiring one to get a New

Hampshire’s driver’s license. To suggest that there is a separate definition of ‘domicile’ for voting purposes is wrong.” Gardner said he is aware of many letters and complaints through the years that highlight various incidents of both voter confusion and registration conflicts. He said perhaps one of the most compelling cases was when he received a phone call from an official in Hanover who said a student blamed her for the loss of a scholarship exclusive to students originating from a certain geographic area in his home state of Pennsylvania. “As a result of registering to vote in New Hampshire and declaring New Hampshire his domicile, the student’s scholarship was revoked when his home state was notified of this change,” Gardner wrote. “This student blamed the local election official for his misfortune because he believed he had not been fully informed of the details of declaring New Hampshire as his domicile.”

CONCORD (AP) — The state Supreme Court on Thursday reversed a man’s drug convictions after saying police went beyond the bounds of a search warrant they obtained to check for guns in the home he shared with his mother, a convicted felon. The court reversed 20-year-old Logan Schulz’s convictions on being an accomplice to cocaine possession and to possession with intent to sell, saying the search that detected the cocaine was unconstitutional. Haverhill police Officer Brandon Alling went to the home of Schulz and his mother, Karla Schulz, on Oct. 29, 2010, to serve her with a warning against trespass and harassment. While at the home in Haverhill, about 75 miles north of Concord, Alling noticed three long guns, which would be unlawful for Karla Schulz to possess as a convicted felon if

they were anything more powerful than a BB gun. Two days later, police obtained a warrant to search the home for firearms. They confirmed that all three guns Alling had seen near a staircase were BB guns. They asked Logan Schulz if there were any other guns in the house, and he said he had a muzzle loader rifle in his bedroom and took them there to show it to them. While in the bedroom, Alling noticed a lock box big enough to contain a handgun and instructed Logan Schulz to open it, noting they could do it by force if they wanted to. Schulz and his mother objected, saying police had no reason to believe they had a handgun. Karla Schulz then became upset and admitted the lock box contained cocaine and cash, the court said in recounting what happened. Police obtained a second warrant to search the

box and obtained the evidence used to convict Logan Schulz, after the trial judge denied a motion by his lawyer to suppress the evidence. The Supreme Court, in its unanimous ruling, said the police were required to stop their search after discovering that the three guns, the probable cause underlying the search warrant, were BB guns and weren’t illegal for Karla Schulz to possess. The court noted that Alling, who initially saw the guns and prepared the search warrant application, should have recognized that the premise upon which the search warrant was obtained was a mistake. “As a result, the continued search of the defendant’s home under authority of the warrant was unreasonable,” Justice James Bassett wrote, in his first opinion for the court. see HOME SEARCH page 9

GILFORD — Selectman Gus Benavides presented his board’s proposed $11,949,088 budget for 2013 to the Budget Committee last and highlighted areas where he said some $936,000 in requests from department heads had been cut. He also said that there were some unavoidable areas of increase, including retirement fund contributions by the town for police (26 percent), fire (21 percent) and municipal employees (22 percent) as well as police and public works department radio upgrades, which will cost $158,000. The radio conversions are mandated by new Federal Communications Commission regulations which will take effect on January 1, 2013 and require the conversion to narrow band frequency. Police Chief Kevin Keenan said that the switch to narrow band width creates more dead spots in the town’s communications system, which can only be overcome by adding an additional repeater . During discussions on the subject with selectmen earlier this year, Lieutenant Jim Leach said that the conversion to narrow band will make existing dead spots even worse, along with the switch from analog to digital, and that the department wants to replace the current antenna located on Gunstock Hill Road with one atop an existing tower on Mt. Rowe. Leach said that the signals need a line of sight transmission as the narrower band width which will be avail-

able no longer allows the signals to pass around barriers such as hills. Leach said that the new antenna will allow for much better car-to-car and portable unit to car transmissions and that the new tower will also be used by the Public Works Department. Police have applied to a federal agency handling surplus equipment for a 2007 Hummer which has only 1,300 miles on it, and which Keenan says would come at no cost to the town and could be put on the road at low cost and would provide the department with a second all-weather vehicle. He said that the department has fallen behind in its vehicle replacement policy for its fleet and Benavides said selectmen are hoping to use surplus funds to purchase a new one and have provided a list of other things they would like to do with surplus funds. Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro wondered if that meant that the town would not be using surplus funds to offset the property tax rate. ‘’We still plan to do that as well,’’ said Benavides. Committee Chairman Phyllis Corrigan said that the subcommittees will soon be starting their work and suggested that they all adopt the same manner of reporting their minutes back to the full committee in order to make it easier for members. Leandro made a formal motion to adopt the format Corrigan requested which was adopted by a unanimous vote.

ROMNEY from page 2 ida and North Carolina are the others. Among them, the nine states account for 110 electoral votes out of the 270 needed to win the White House, more than enough to tip the campaign to one man or the other. “Victory is in sight,” Romney exulted in an emailed request for donations to supporters. It was a show of confidence by a man hoping for a quick reversal in pre-debate public opinion polls that showed him trailing in battleground states as well as nationally. Reprising a line from the debate, he told an audience of conservatives in Denver that Obama offers “trickledown government.” He added, “I don’t think that’s what America believes in. I see instead a prosperity that comes through freedom.” Another possible pivot point in the campaign neared in the form of Friday’s government report on unemployment for September. Joblessness was measured at 8.1. percent the previous month. Taxes were a particular point of contention between the two men, although they were sharply divided as well on steps the cut the deficit, on government regulation, on education and Medicare. Both in the debate and on the day after, Obama said repeatedly that his rival favors a $5 trillion tax cut that is tilted to the wealthy and would mean tax increases on the middle class or else result in a spike in federal deficits.

Romney said it wasn’t so, and counterattacked in a new television commercial. It cited a report by the American Enterprise Institute that said Obama and “his liberal allies” want to raise taxes on middle class earners by $4,000 and that the Republican alternative would not raise the amount they owe to the IRS. Romney has refused so far to disclose many of the details to support his assertion that his proposal would not lead to a tax cut. His ad was an attempt to parry a report by the Tax Policy Center that Obama has frequently tried used to political advantage, as he did again during the day. The two men debate twice more this month, Oct. 16 in Hempstead, N.Y. and Oct. 22 in Boca Raton, Fla. Before they do, Vice President Joe Biden and Romney’s running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, will share a stage in Danville, Ky. in one week’s time. Biden plunged into the tax debate during the day, saying the administration does indeed want to increase the taxes paid by the wealthy by $1 trillion. “We want to let that trillion-dollar tax cut expire so the middle class doesn’t have to bear the burden of all that money going to the super wealthy,” he said while campaigning in Iowa. “That’s not a tax raise, that’s called fairness where I come from.” Republicans didn’t see it that way, and seized on the comment as evidence the administration’s policies would kill jobs.

— Debate No. 5 —

Right-to-Work issue provides for sharp contrast between Hassan & Lamontagne HENNIKER (AP) — New Hampshire’s two candidates for governor differed sharply over right-towork among other issues Thursday during their fifth debate. They also sparred over education funding, the management of Medicaid and Affordable Care Act funds, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative at the debate held at New England College. Democrat Maggie Hassan says she opposes rightto-work legislation, which would limit unions’ ability to collect fees from nonunion workers. Republican Ovide Lamontagne says he favors right-to-work, saying it gives employees freedom of choice. Embracing right-to-work, Lamontagne said, would make New Hampshire “a beacon” for employers. He said New Hampshire would be the first state north of Virginia and east of Indiana to pass right-to-work. Hassan said she equates right-to-work with “a right to work for less and lower wages.” “The only way a worker can be required to pay dues to a union is if the employer and employees negotiate that term,” she said. Both candidates favor a casino in southern New Hampshire, but Lamontagne said he would support it only it if it’s located at Rockingham Park in Salem. Hassan said that with Massachusetts planning three or four casinos, New Hampshire has to be competitive, even in the face of opposition from resort and restaurant owners who fear a casino would funnel off their business. “I don’t want our gambling revenues and rooms and meals money to be spent in Massachusetts,” Hassan said. Hassan continued to cast Lamontagne as being aligned with ultra-conservative bills passed in the state legislature and House Speaker Bill O’Brien, while Lamontagne continued his criticism of tax and fee hikes while Hassan — who was Senate Majority leader in 2009 — partnered with Gov. John Lynch to fashion a budget. Lamontagne was asked how he is different from O’Brien and Hassan was asked how she would differ from Lynch as governor. While he commended the legislature for its “real math” approach to the budget, Lamontagne said his budget priorities would be different but didn’t specify how. Hassan said she has some policy differences with Lynch but didn’t say what they are. Both candidates said they would take a cautious approach to the Northern Pass proposal — keeping an open mind while guarding the North Country’s natural beauty. Common questions and threads have run through the five debates and by now, it’s no secret that Lamontagne wants the federal government to block grant funds for Medicaid and President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul so New Hampshire can fashion its own plan and programs. Hassan fiercely opposes that approach, saying she doesn’t want state lawmakers — and particularly O’Brien’s supporters — fashioning health benefits packages. In the face of Lamontagne’s repeated attacks on her record of tax and fee increases, Hassan twice promised to veto any legislation to impose a sales or income tax. Lamontagne said he would repeal the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative — known as RGGI — calling it an “artificial burden” on utility companies that ultimately drives up charges to ratepayers. Hassan defended it, saying it has created 400 jobs and serves as an incentive for new kinds of energy development. Hassan and Lamontagne have scheduled a total of 12 debates before the Nov. 6 election. One political pundit quipped during Thursday’s debate that for that 12th debate, they should switch roles to test how well they’ve memorized each other’s answers.

Tilton backing Speaker O’Brien this time around LACONIA — Representative Frank Tilton (R-Laconia) was among 24 members of the New Hampshire of Representatives appointed by Bill O’Brien (R-Mount Vernon), the Speaker of the House, to the Committee to Re-elect Bill O’Brien Speaker. He is the only representative from Belknap County that O’Brien chose to serve on the committee. In 2010, after Republicans captured a three-to-one majority in the the 400-member House, O’Brien was elected speaker on the second ballot, topping Representative Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) by just nine votes, 142 to 133. Throughout that contest Tilton backed Chandler. Following his election O’Brien included Chandler in his leadership team, naming him Speaker Pro Tempore and chairman of the House Public Works and Highways Committee, on which Tilton has served throughout his tenure in the House. Tilton served two terms in the House from 2004 to 2008, was re-elected in 2010 and is running for his fourth term this year. He has also served as chair-

man of the Belknap County Republican Committee. Last month Representative Marshall “Lee” Quandt, a Republican from Exeter who has served five terms in the House, announced he would challenge O’Brien for the speakership. A frequent antagonist of O’Brien during the the last legislative session, Quandt was an outspoken opponent of the so-called right-to-work bill, which O’Brien deemed among his highest priorities, and was removed from the House Finance Committee by the speaker when he refused to support the budget. “I wasn’t enthusiastic about O’Brien at first,” Tilton acknowledged yesterday, “but I think he’s done a good job. He got the agenda through.” He said that his job will be to rally support for O’Brien among the Republican representatives returned to the House in Belknap County on election day. The House Republican caucus is expected to elect its candidate for Speaker on November 15. — Michael Kitch

MENINGITIS from page 2 fungal meningitis, and five of them have died, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. All had received steroid shots for back pain, a highly common treatment. In an alarming indication the outbreak could get a lot bigger, Massachusetts health officials said the pharmacy involved, the New England Compounding Center of Framingham, Mass., has recalled three lots consisting of a total of 17,676 single-dose vials of the steroid, preservative-free methylprednisolone acetate. An unknown number of those vials reached 75 clinics and other facilities in 23 states between July and September, federal health officials said. Several hundred of the vials, maybe more, have been returned unused, one Massachusetts official said. But many other vials were used. At one clinic in Evansville, Ind., more than 500 patients got shots from the suspect lots, officials said. At two clinics in

Tennessee, more than 900 patients — perhaps many more — did. The investigation began about two weeks ago after a case was diagnosed in Tennessee. The time from infection to onset of symptoms is anywhere from a few days to a month, so the number of people stricken could rise. Investigators this week found contamination in a sealed vial of the steroid at the New England company, according to FDA officials. Tests are under way to determine if it is the same fungus blamed in the outbreak. The company has shut down operations and said it is working with regulators to identify the source of the infection. “Out of an abundance of caution, we advise all health care practitioners not to use any product” from the company, said Ilisa Bernstein, director of compliance for the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research.

Food profiteers don’t want you to know about GMOs One of the most important elections being held on November 6 doesn’t even have a Democratic, Republican, Green, Libertarian or other partisan candidate on the ballot. Imagine! Yet, this statewide contest in California will likely have a huge impact on national policy and on grassroots efforts to rein in the arrogance of corporate power that’s running roughshod over Americans. That’s why those powerful interests are going all-out to win in California, bulldozing as much as $50 million into this one election — more than they’re putting into some of the bigmoney battles for U.S. Senate seats. What’s the name of this popular populist candidate who’s spooking CEOs of national corporations right out of their Guccis? Mr. Right-To-Know. He’s on the November ballot as Proposition 37, a citizens initiative to require food conglomerates to label products containing genetically manipulated organisms. These GMOs, developed in the engineering labs of such biotech giants as Monsanto and DuPont, contain unnaturally altered DNA and are quietly slipped into hundreds of processed foods with no word to consumers about the adulteration. Also, adequate scientific studies have not been conducted on the long-term impacts these manufactured organisms could have on human health, the environment and small farmers. So, a broad coalition of “people’s interests” came up with Prop 37 — not to ban GMOs, but simply to say that We The People have a right to know if food and biotech profiteers have added these highly questionable organisms to the products we put on our dinner tables. The people’s proposal is a straightforward, easy way to empower every consumer in the marketplace to make their own choice. And, wow, the corporate powers really hate that. The giants fear that consumers (damn them!) will reject products containing risky GMOs, so they want to keep such contents a secret. Since the California market is huge, passage of a labeling law there would effectively become a national provision. Thus, the corporations are mounting their massive PR campaign.

Despite that, however, a July poll shows that 65 percent of likely voters are inclined to vote “yes” on the proposal, so its national brandname opponents fear they’ll come a cropper over Prop 37. If so, it’ll actually be a double cropper. This is because, ironically, their media blitz is revealing way more about their conglomerated empires than they want people to know. Another of their carefully constructed consumer frauds is that many multinationals have quietly bought up dozens of popular organic food firms — but they’ve kept their conglomerate names off the labels hoping customers will think the organic brands are still scrappy independent businesses. Now, the public is learning that Kashi organics, for example, is a subsidiary of Kellogg’s, which is spending a ton to defeat Prop 37. Other megabuck donors to the anticonsumer campaign include General Mills (owner of Muir Glen and Cascadian Farm organic brands), Dean Foods (owner of Horizon organic milk and Silk organic soy milk) and such giant deceivers as Campbell Soup, Bimbo Bakeries, Coca-Cola, Del Monte, Nestle, PepsiCo and J.M. Smucker. The fun part is that the organic subsidiaries of these conglomerates support the Right-To-Know labeling law, with such organic firms as chips-maker Food Should Taste Good labeling its packages as “non-GMO” even though its owner, General Mills, has pumped a million bucks into the anti-labeling campaign. Many of the subsidiaries are aghast that their corporate parents are financinglegalized consumer deception. Nothing like a feisty family squabble to air out dirty linens and expose some ugly truths!

Shaw’s response to our food pantry need was heart-warming To the editor, This year has been among the busiest for the St. Vincent de Paul food pantry. Our client list has increased significantly while food donations have dropped ... a “Perfect Storm” of need. Shaw’s saw that need and responded by creating a week long program for customers to donate a “bag of food.” The community response was heartwarming. The significant donation of

food helps us to continue our mission of support to those in need in our area. If you would like to assist us by making a food or monetary contribution you can drop off your donation at the St. Vincent de Paul store. Thank you again, and may God bless.

LETTERS For school sports, actually winning the game becomes consideration To the editor, A reponse to Mr. Murphy: It is my hope that this letter will help clarify the play time philosophy that you requested in your recent letter. I coach, and have coached children from ages 7-17 at every level and in almost every sport. As you can imagine the philosophy of play time changes as the kids get older and the object of the game changes. When they are participating in the youth levels (up to middle school) there is typically some type of minimum play rule in effect. Each organization requires that a child play a certain amount of time or plays regardless of skill level. Play time is determined by the amount of effort and time a child puts into the particular sport as well as attendance to games and practices. Also at the youth level most parents have paid for their child to play so a minimum play rule is necessary. As the child progresses to the next level, a school sport, the minimum play rules fall off and play time is then determined by not only the criteria that I have indicated but a significant amount of that time is based on skill. Actually winning the game becomes a consideration. As you indicated in your letter, “high school is in preparation for the real world”. Not everyone gets a medal for participation. Not everyone gets to play nor should they. As coaches we try to instill values in them that prepare them for the real world. Be good people, work hard, make good choices. Our “making a name” as coaches comes from seeing our ex-players home on a college break, home on military leave, or simply out on a Friday night after putting in an honest hard days work to support themselves or their families. We hope that when they were suspended for that game for carrying on like a 2-year-old on the sidelines that it tells them it’s not okay to be out of control or try to cheat the system. We try to stress values that

we hope will help them become good human beings. There are areas in your letter regarding your grandson that I will not address in print. I don’t feel that would be fair to your grandson because as far as I am aware he has never approached a coach with his concerns about lack of playing time. The school encourages the parents to speak with the kids; the coaches encourage the kids to speak with them if they have any issues. This is another example of what happens in the real world. When you have a problem with your employer you don’t expect Mommy or Grampy to go and address your issues. I am certainly open to a conversation with you specifically regarding your grandson and his play time. As I do with all of my youth parents, I caution that if you ask the question be prepared for an honest answer because it is probably not what you are going to want to hear. You say that, “Coaches need to realize that high school football is not the NFL”. I agree with you but would also add that parents need to realize that high school football is not youth football. Guaranteed play time is no longer a consideration. If you want to be guaranteed playing time then you need to be the best player on the field/ court at your position. If that is not a goal that any player strives for than they need to realize that their playing time may be limited. I hope this answers at least part of your question. Rod Roy Asst.

I had new roof ordered and constructed – on time and on budget To the editor, I am a resident in the town of Gilford and have lived here for the past 15 years. There seems to be so much negativity about things now that I would like to tell you about a good experience I had with a local business in town here.

We needed a new roof on our house and I drove to Page Roofing on Cherry Valley Road for an estimate. I spoke with Doug Page who informed me he would be by our house in the afternoon and would look the job over and leave me with an estimate.

LETTERS Democrat solution to education problems: spend more money

Working-class suckers will pay big because Obama needs money

To the editor, The debates between Maggie Hassan, Democrat, and Ovide Lamontaigne, Republican, remind me that the success of our children is at stake in this election. Democrat allegiance to unions and the educational establishment lock children into failing public schools. Today’s Democrat solution to educational problems has been providing increasingly poorer results for decades — just spend more money. That fits Einstein’s definition of insanity, “doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.” More money is not the solution, it just raises the cost of poor results. The teachers’ unions and educational establishment oppose school choice — they like their monopoly. No one providing services wants competition. If they don’t compete successfully, they lose power, influence, and money to dole out to themselves and their supporters. The Republican solution is to encourage competition in education. Republicans want to help parents move children to better schools than the failing schools that the Democrats lock them into. The N.H. Republican Legislature overrode Governor Lynch’s veto of a bill that enables scholarships to help poorer families afford to move their children from failing schools to schools of their choice. Democrats complain that each scholarship reduces state funding. True, but the lost funding is small compared to what our schools get and spend per student. As I under-

To the editor, Our American “Bill of Rights” does indeed guarantee each citizen “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. However those words have been twisted by too many people who think that it is a guarantee to keep you happy. We as a nation have always welcomed “your tired, your poor. and huddled masses yearning to be free.” however none of those legal immigrants ever expected to be given everything for free from anybody. Some of the hardest working people that I know have come to America to take advantage of the opportunities that were not available to them in their home country. They understood coming in that there was no free lunch. I wonder what ever happened to the Democratic Party of my grandparents. One of the first big political messages that I remember from my childhood was President Kennedy saying, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask instead what you can do for your country”. It was a wonderfully uplifting message and inspired millions of Americans to give of themselves for the good of us all. How in hell did that motto get changed to “GIMMEE-GIMMEE-GIMMEE”? Vote for Obama if you want to get lots of free stuff! Never mind that the USA is 16 trillion dollars in debt and we borrow forty cents of every dollar that we give away. Our most important safety net programs like Social Security and Medicare are being threatened by overspending on too many give away programs designed to buy votes for. .

stand it for, example, at most, InterLakes’ state funding would have been reduced by about $60,000 this year, a tiny amount compared to the school district’s $20-million budget or this year’s $1-million surplus. Of course public schools can increase their funding by proving a great education and thus attracting fee paying students from other schools and states. There are many wonderful and outstanding teachers dedicated to helping children. Yet, many are frustrated because they work in an educational environment controlled by unions and an education establishment which are dedicated to their own power rather than the education of our children. Albert Shanker, president of two major American teachers unions’ shows the attitude of the teachers unions and educational establishment when he said, “”When schoolchildren start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children.” President Obama sends his children to a private school, yet he stopped the successful and popular school voucher program in Washington, DC. Some of the Democrat candidates for state representative from Meredith and Gilford are rich enough to send their children to private schools, but they don’t want the children of poorer parents to have the same chance for a successful life. Any citizen who cares about our children’s education and future needs to vote a straight Republican ticket in this election. Don Ewing Meredith

Only one of these two men will be president for all Americans To the editor, The campaigns are winding down. All of the candidates are doing their utmost to present their view of what they think the American people want to hear. In most cases that is done in public while in others it is done in the semi-privacy of a conference or meeting of a group that the candidate feels can be told “how it really is”. Such was the case with the now famous 47-percent comment made to a group of Romney supporters. Mitt Romney was clear in his message: he needed to attract 5-percent of those folks who were not part of the 47-percent connected to President Obama. The 47-percent cannot be expected to support candidate Romney as they live off the government, don’t pay taxes, and a number of other not so pleas-

ant things. That other 5-percent of undecided folks need to be swung to the Romney column. Ah, but how to do that? I do not believe the question was answered as it was so overshadowed by the 47-percent remark. After all of these months of campaigning, it seems that Mr. Romney has identified the real difference between himself and President Obama.... that only one of them will be the president for all Americans. Mitt Romney is not kidding, he will represent a very small percentage of Americans first. If you are looking for a president who will represent all of us, please, cast your vote for President Obama. Joe Denning, Bristol

from preceding page He arrived like he said he would, when he said he would, went up on our roof and measured came down again and right there he figured out what it would be for our new roof. I drove down to his business and told him had the job and when could he start? He told me he would get back to me and let us know for sure when he could do it. He came, gave us the date. Came

when he said he would (which was important to us). They did the job and the crew worked like a well oiled machine. In a day and a half they stripped our house, breezeway and garage and re-shingled it for the estimated price. If anyone is looking for a roofer please consider Page Roofing. They were excellent with us. Paul Magnant Gilford

. the Democratic Party. They create dependency on the government by so many freeloaders that they are bankrupting the system. Who has not seen people at the market buying expensive items with food stamps, and then pull out plenty of cash for their beer and cigarettes? We have a Senate that refuses to adopt any kind of a budget, and a president who continues to promise everything to everybody with no real plan to pay for any of it except to demonize those who have been successful by their own hard work and threaten them with confiscatory tax rates. (You didn’t really build that!) He has admitted that he believes in the redistribution of wealth. (From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs — Communist Manifesto] I don’t recognize the Democratic Party any more because they have turned into something that is not compatible with our American way of life. Do we really need to provide anyone with free cell phones, free birth control, free beer and cigarettes and on and on? And by the way, all of us working suckers are going to get hit with HUGE tax hikes in just two months because Obama needs the money! Can we really take another four years of this without destroying our beloved United States of America? Lets not find out! Vote to rid ourselves of this plague of locusts that are eating away our prosperity. It could save us all from ruin. Alan Moon Tilton

Sen. Forrester & Rep. Fields shouldn’t be rewarded with re-election To the editor, “If all Americans have opportunity, we’re all better off,” said Pres. Obama during the first televised debate of this election year. When I heard this, I thought of my Senator Jeanie Forrester voting to halve our state’s funding for our public university and college system. I thought of my Rep. Dennis Fields doing the same. I thought of that massive cost-shifting that hits the students in our state whose personal visions wonderfully

include bettering themselves through career training. Those are the young Americans among us for whom educational opportunity is crucial. Sen. Forrester and Rep. Fields should not be rewarded with re-election. That means casting Democratic party votes on November 6th. Bob Lamb, Ian Raymond, Jane Alden — their visions are in line with traditional supporting opportunity, not denying it. Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

LETTERS Most seniors are unaware of bill to block grant Medicare to N.H.

Wouldn’t it be nice if State School could be made into state burn center

To the editor, Okay. Now I’m worried. You know all those promises from Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney that Medicare for “current seniors” will not be affected? Unfortunately, those promises have little effect in the New Hampshire Statehouse, thanks to a little-known piece of legislation, HB-1560. This little gem is the brainchild of ALEC (the American Legislative Exchange Commission) and sponsored by Representative Bettencourt and Senator Morse. Basically, it is a plan, under the guise of “preservation of individual liberty”, to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid as we know it. HB-1560 would create s “health care compact” that would allow states to jointly opt out of all federal health rules, now and in the future. Compact states would receive a block grant set at the level of federal spending in their states for the fiscal year 2010. This would represent the cap on funding, and as such, would naturally grow at a much slower rate than overall health care costs. So what is a state to do when the funding proves to be insufficient? Raise taxes? Cut services? We know what Bettencourt and Morse think about raising taxes. So the only alternative would be to cut services. Probably by a lot. What else would these compact states be allowed to do? How about opting out of all federal health care laws? Dropping seniors from Medicare coverage? Eliminating Medicaid and CHIP protections for vulnerable children? Ending Medicaid-sponsored long-term care services for the elderly (you know all those pesky people in nursing homes). Terminating protections for children with pre-existing conditions? Stopping the enforcement of laws that protect medical privacy?

To the editor, Listening to the news this morning, I heard of yet another incident involving a person being burned in a fire. The individual was in a travel trailer, I believe, and was sent to Boston for treatment. I find it utterly appalling that the State of New Hampshire does not have it’s own burn unit! Time is one of the most critical elements in treating a burn victim. It can mean life or death in many cases. If you, a family member or friend were burned, I would want that person or persons to get expert burn medical treatment as quickly as possible and in the state that it occurred. It is one of the most traumatic injuries a person can experience, and as such, it also severely impacts the family of the victim as well. To have to travel to another state to be with that victim, greatly stresses the family’s financial, emotional and physical well-being, not to mention the victim’s well-being. A burn victim needs all the emotional support at such a critical time. Also, once the individual is released from the medical facility, support groups are an essential part of the recovery process. Yet again, there are NO support groups in N.H. Another appauling fact! Why are these two major issues absent from the State of New Hampshire? I realize that in this day and age there are fewer burn victims then even a decade ago due to great advances in home safety, such as sprinkler systems, education for fire safety in schools, and the fact that most clothing is now fire retardant, but the fact remains that there are still fires and burn victims. Some of these victims are the firefighters themselves who are burned trying to put out the fires. As a 60-year burn survivor myself, I cringe at the thought of a burn victim having to be transported to another state

And the kicker is that the compact states would not be required to replace these protections. HB-1560 does not propose anything to take the place of federally-guaranteed health services and protections. Services and protections which have been part of the fabric of society of decades. As someone who is old enough to appreciate what Medicare can do, yes I am worried, given that the least expensive private insurance that is available to me costs $15,000 a year in premiums and carries a $5,000 deductible and a cap on lifetime benefits! A bit rich for the blood of the average retiree with a pre-existing condition, wouldn’t you say? Many seniors here in New Hampshire are unaware of this bill. You could check it out at the New Hampshire General Court site. It is interesting to note that both Colette Worsman and Bob Greenmore , as state representatives, voted for this bill. They are currently running to represent the towns of Gilford/Meredith. There are many reasons to vote for the four Democrats running in this year’s election. If you care about this issue, join me in supporting Lisa DiMartino, Kate Miller, Bill Johnson and Sandy Mucci for State Rep and Andrew Hosmer for State Senate. For those of you living in Meredith, please support Bob Lamb for State Senate. And just in case this terrible bill again passes the house and gets through the Senate, we need a governor who would veto it. So please consider Maggie Hassan. Let’s face it, this is not your father’s Republican Party anymore. We can’t afford to have all the social safety nets totally unraveled. Dorothy Piquado Gilford

Please vote for people who will work to back away from cliff To the editor, The top headline in the New York Times (October 2) reads: “Senate Leaders at Work on Plan to Avoid ‘Fiscal Cliff’”. The story continues: “A bipartisan group of senators is coalescing around an ambitious threestep process to avert automatic tax

increases and deep spending cuts facing the country in January.” Is this headline what you imagined when you voted for our legislators? Didn’t we trust that they would take care of business by working together to reduce the deficit and balance our see next page

to receive critical medical treatment and the impact of being transported for that treatment, whether by air or ambulance, especially if the victim lives in the North Country. The aftercare and support is not such an issue if you live in the southern part of the state, but if you do live in Central or Northern New Hampshire, it is a big issue! I’ve been reading a lot about the issue of the old State School in Laconia and what to do with it. Wouldn’t it be nice if that were made into a burn center for the state? Just a thought. . . I can’t do much about not having a burn center in the state right now, but I can and have done something about not having a support group. I have created the NH Burn Survivors Support Group and hope to reach as many burn survivors and their families as possible to join the group. More information about this group can be obtained at: http://www.meetup.com/ nhburnsurvivors. All meetings are confidential and free. I will be setting this group up as a non-profit soon in order to accept sponsorships and/ or donations to help these burn survivors. If you wish to be a sponsor or donate to this worthy cause, visit the website and e-mail the organizer for more information. This letter was not sent in order to receive financial support, but only to make the public aware of how inadequate the state is in its provisions for burn victims/survivors and their families and friends. Think about it people, God forbid if you, a family member or friend were the victim of a fire, wouldn’t you want the most immediate, local care possible? Fire and/or burns do not know age, gender, race, color, religion, financial status or ethnicity! Rita Thibodeau Laconia

If banks hadn’t been bailed out we might have belonged to China To the editor, In regards to Elena Warrals’ letter, I’d like to make it perfectly clear I’m not blindly led to believe Obama. I am led to believe him because it’s better than people believing in Romney/Ryan’s tall yarns that they won’t even commit too when asked out right about the Social Security., Medicare, jobs, etc! I don’t go for sign on the dotted line people and let them fill in amounts or ideas for me. Show me, tell me, and prove you’ll do. Pledge to the truth of what you stand for — those that want Romney/Ryan, I’d tell them to take off their rose-colored glasses and see all that Obama has done for our country already. Its tangible and proven true! Obama said, he’d bring our troops home from Iraq and he did. Our grandson was one of the troops brought home. It wasn’t Obama’s’ war, but the mess of President George W. Gush. You can’t possibly expect the president to do all of the clean up the past eight years damage with a term of four years. In Obama’s four years he got bin Laden for the crime against our country, not President Bush during his eight years of service. Obama promised health care for all and he kept his promise. In your new Medicare Book 2013 there are more benefits than ever before. As far

concerned, I am thinking about the future of our children, grandchildren, and our three great-grandchildren, as well as other peoples families. The programs as they the currently stand are doable. We need to stop doling out money to foreign countries and put the money paid by the citizens to good use for them. My husband and I have a Medigap Plan, which we got in 2008, so people are not paying for us. We are not Romney’s dependents like he thinks we are. Yes, Obama bailed out the auto industry, except for Ford because they didn’t need it. Now the auto industry is bigger and better than ever, and paying back their loans. If Obama hadn’t assisted the banks then they could have collapsed like other world countries and we might belong to China. So how can you say Obama hasn’t done a good job? He has more experience than someone that’s never held an office that’s high-up, period! I’m thankful that in America we can voice our opinions. Some will like them and others won’t! Just use your right to vote for whomever you wish, then if they win or lose you have the right to complain. I personally will be coting a straight Democratic ballot in November. Betty Fortier

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 5, 2012— Page 9

RED SOX from page 2 approach to gorge on fried chicken and beer during games bristled at Valentine’s abrasive style. More importantly, they didn’t win for him, either. “We felt it was the right decision for that team at that time,” general manager Ben Cherington said on Thursday in an interview at Fenway Park. “It hasn’t worked out, because the season has been a great disappointment. That’s not on Bobby Valentine; that’s on all of us. We felt that in order to move forward and have a fresh start, we need to start anew in the manager’s office.” Under Valentine, the Red Sox started 4-10 and didn’t break .500 until after Memorial Day. By August, when the contenders were setting their playoff roster, the Red Sox knew they would not be among them and traded several of their best players — and biggest salaries — to the Los Angeles Dodgers. Without Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett, the Red Sox will save $250 million in future salaries and have a chance to rebuild over the winter. But that will be too late for Valentine. “We have gratitude for him, respect for him and affection for him, and we’re not going to get into what his inabilities were, what his issues were,” Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said. “I just don’t think it’s fair.” Cherington, who replaced Theo Epstein last offseason, will lead the search for a new manager. The team’s top target is current Toronto manager and former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell, who has a year left on his deal with the Blue Jays. Cherington said he has thought about potential successors but declined to comment on specific individuals. He said he is looking for someone “who can establish a culture in the clubhouse that allows players to perform, and sets a standard.” “And we need to find a person that can bring some stability to that office,” Cherington said. “When we hired Bobby, the roster was fairly mature and we felt, mistakenly, in retrospect, that we had a chance to win and the team was ready to win. We’re now at a different point. We’re trying to build the next good Red Sox team, so it’s a little bit different.” A year after a 7-20 September cost the Red Sox a chance at the postseason, the club went 7-22 in September and October to close its worst season since 1965. Boston lost its last eight games, failing even in its role of spoiler as it was swept down the stretch by playoff contenders Tampa Bay, Baltimore and the rival New York Yankees. That left the Red Sox in last place — 26 games out — for the first time since 1992 and out of the playoffs for the third year in a row.

FairPoint wants city taxes abated on poles & conduits BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — FairPoint Communications has filed for property tax abatements on their poles and conduits in more than 150 municipalities, including this city. While utility companies, like Public Service Company of New Hampshire and the New England Electric Cooperative, have been taxed on their poles for years, telecommunication firms enjoyed an exemption until last year when, after a protracted struggle, the Legislature withdrew it. In an e-mail to city councilors yesterday, City Manager Scott Myers explained that in seeking an abatement FairPoint has raised two issues. First the company has challenged the authority of municipalities to assess poles and conduits. Since FairPoint has posed the question in each of separate filings across the state, the many cases have been consolidated into one, which his now before Judge Richard McNamara of Merrimack County Superior Court. The second issue is the question of valuation. Myers said that different municipalities have assigned a wide range of assessed values to poles and conduits, adding that he considered the evaluation by the city “conservative.” This issue must be addressed by municipalities separately just like any other request for an abatement of property taxes. The Mitchell Municipal Group is representing the city, along with 26 other municipalities, in both HOME SEARCH from page 3 Bassett, a seasoned lawyer whose areas of expertise include constitutional law, was sworn in in July. The court ruled the evidence had to be suppressed because the search was unconstitutional. It remanded the case to the trial court. The ruling could lead to the reversal of Schulz’s mother’s conviction as well, if she had moved to supfrom preceding page budget?

aspects of the matter. The city will bear one-twentyseventh of invoices for work on the legal question and will be billed for the full cost of handling the the valuation problem. Last year Myers told the council that restoring the exemption would cost the city approximately $16,000 in property taxes paid by telecommunications companies, which would be born by other taxpayers if the exemption is restored. FairPoint Communications recently told the New Hampshire Public Utilities Commission that it paid more than $3-million in property taxes on its poles and conduits this year and that it intended to add a “municipal property tax surcharge” to its bills to recover its tax payments. The Senate passed Senate Bill 133 by a voice vote in March and later the same month it carried the House by just six votes. But, the House immediately voted to reconsider its action and tabled the bill. Ever since lobbyists representing the telecommunications industry have pressed the leadership of the House to take the bill off the table and bring it to a vote. The deadline for taking acting on all bills passed long ago, but because the 2011 legislative session has yet to officially close the bill could be resurrected by a two-thirds vote to suspend House rules. Representative John Burt (R-Goffstown) has filed House Bill 1305 for the upcoming 2012 session that would restore exemption.

Hausman said she does not represent the mother and has no knowledge of her case. Logan Schulz was free on bond pending the outcome of the appeal, she said. Assistant Attorney General Elizabeth Woodcock, who argued Logan Schulz’s case for the state, said she does not believe the decision can be applied retroactively to Karla Schulz’s case unless she challenged the search at the trial court level.

STUDY from page one Because the old ones have sort of gone blunt.” The 16-page report released September 27 doesn’t make detailed policy recommendations. The center’s executive director, Stephen Norton, said the group hopes to start a public conversation and will follow up later with more specific ideas. “We want to be prepared for the world post-the Great Recession, and we want to be armed with the appropriate set of policy tools or collaborations with the private sector that will position us most effectively to return to some level of growth, whatever that level of growth is,” Norton said. Dennis Delay, the Concord-based center’s economist, told reporters that three major factors have been identified as driving long-term economic growth: capital investment, labor-force growth and increases in productivity. New Hampshire enjoyed all three for several decades, with a significant flow of people moving into the state, many with college degrees. That drove the growth of a highly skilled, increasingly productive workforce, the center said. The result was a strong local economy with good-paying jobs, making New Hampshire “the glory child of the Northeast from an economic-development perspective,” as Norton put it. The state has suffered in the recession that began at the end of 2007. But, the center said in the new report, those key forces began weakening even before the recession began. In-migration, the center said, slowed in the 2000s and actually reversed course during the recession, with more people leaving the state than moving here. That’s been accompanied by an aging of the local population, with the median age rising from 30.2 years in 1980 to 41.1 years in 2010. The national median age in 2010, by comparison, was 37.2 years. “An older population translates to an older workforce, and therefore a greater portion of residents approaching the traditional retirement age,”

the report states. Job growth has slowed, the report said. The number of jobs in the state jumped 49.4 percent from 1970 to 1980, 34.1 percent from 1980 to 1990 and 27.3 percent from 1990 to 2000. But from 2000 to 2010, the number of jobs in New Hampshire fell 0.6 percent. And while more New Hampshire residents hold a bachelor’s degree than the U.S. average - 32 percent in 2010, compared with 28 percent for the nation as a whole - the rate of growth is slowing. The New Hampshire growth rate in four-year college graduates between 2000 and 2009 was 3.3 percent, below the U.S. average of 3.5 percent. Those forces have combined to create a slowdown in economic growth, the center said, compounded by the crisis of the recession. And, the center said, the underlying trends are unlikely to regain strength as the general economy recovers. “As a result, the model that defined the state’s economy since the 1980s - consistent population growth, increased productivity, and a more resilient economy than our competitors - no longer holds,” the report concludes. “After benefiting from nearly three decades of economic tailwinds, New Hampshire now faces a strong headwind: net out-migration, an aging population and decreased labor productivity.” If nothing is done, Norton said, “we will become less competitive relative to the rest of the country, where population growth and productivity is increasing.” New Hampshire still enjoys major structural advantages, the center said, including its proximity to Boston and its status as a tourist destination. But, Norton said, policymakers should know that they need to reassess the state’s tax structure, business-incentive strategies and other areas of policy. “We are in a different place that we are, I think, going to have to make some significant efforts to change our approach to economic development,” Norton said.

Community college president reads to Laconia first graders Dr. Scott Kalicki, president of Lakes Region Community College, reads “Frankie Stein” to first grade students at Pleasant Street School in Laconia on Thursday afternoon. He was participating in “Read for the Record,” a Jumpstart initiative designed to get college presidents to read to young children as part of an early literacy initiative. Kalicki, new to the college, said he was pleased at the warm welcome he received at the city’s schools. “It is a delight to be in a community that works together so well.” Also delightful, he said, was the opportunity to visit with students he hopes will catch his enthusiasm for reading and learning. Kalicki also read to students at Elm Street School. “I certainly enjoyed it,” he said. “Read for the Record” provided copies of “Ladybug Girl” and “Bug Squad” to each student.

TAX from page one 9-percent to balance the 2010-2011 state budget, they took her remark as proposing to hike the rate another one-half of one-percent. Whether Hassan was mistaken or misquoted is unclear. If Hassan was mistook the rate of the tax, she was not alone. The Associated Press reported that it is currently levied a rate of 12-percent. In any event, not only did she herself say that increasing the tax would be “ill-advised,” the Associated Press and New Hampshire Public Radio, which also covered the event, reported that Hassan and Ovide Lamontagne, her Republican opponent, both said they would not support any increase in the rooms and meals tax. Jim Lowell of the Naswa Resort in Laconia, while

unaware of the controversy, said yesterday that the industry was disappointed when the rate rose from 8-percent to 9-percent. “It has cost business,” he said. “It is getting near to adding 10-percent to the cost of a vacation and that makes a real difference.” The hospitality business at The Weirs, he said, is seasonal, with only 10 or 12 weeks to earn enough revenue to meet expenses, some of which like property taxes and insurance run throughout the year, and turn a profit. “Everybody is bargain shopping,” Lowell said. “We’re squeezed by rising costs. That’s the rub.” In 2011, the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration collected $13,533,458 in Rooms and Meals Tax from 672 establishments in Belknap County with total sales of $137,435,985.

OBAMA from page 2 David Plouffe, the Obama White House adviser who ran his 2008 campaign, called Romney’s performance “probably unprecedented in its dishonesty.” Obama’s campaign quickly released an ad raising questions about Romney’s honesty, arguing that he didn’t level with middle-class families on how his tax plan would affect them. “If we can’t trust him here, how could we ever trust him here?” the ad says. It was airing in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia. Separately, a campaign official said Obama’s team had its strongest fundraising month of the 2012 election cycle in September, exceeding August’s haul of $114 million. The official would not say how much the campaign raised and requested anonymity because he or she was not authorized to discuss the fundraising publicly. At the same time, the Obama camp was forced into its own difficult appraisal of the president’s performance, with no shortage of critical outside opinions, either. Those close to Obama said he was so intent on answering questions and not letting Romney rile him that he came across as wonky and lacking punch. “Obviously, moving forward, we’re going to take a hard look at this, and we’re going to have to make some judgments as to where to draw the line in these debates and how to use our time,” said David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s senior adviser. “I’m sure that we will make adjustments.” Plouffe put it this way when asked about those adjustments: “We just need to account for Romney’s dishonesty.” But Obama had other problems, driven in part by a debate format that does not play to his strengths. He did draw distinctions with

Romney on a host of issues central to the campaign, but often did so by seeming to talk to moderator Jim Lehrer more than the audience or the man trying to take his job. Obama aides acknowledged that the president delved more deeply into the intricate details on policy than they had planned and fell into one of the patterns they had most hoped to avoid — long-winded answers that lacked a clear emotional connection with voters. Coming out of the debate, in his advertising and his speeches, Obama started hammering Romney for a lack of specifics on his tax plan, and for not being clear about how he would replace the president’s health care law and Wall Street regulations. But the Democratic campaign said there would be no wholesale changes to its strategy. What’s more, Obama aides said it was not at all clear that Romney’s debate win would translate where it matters — into votes. Axelrod said the immediate data gathered from voters showed they gave Romney the edge in performance but broke evenly on how it influenced their vote. Plouffe said the real measure for Romney was this: “Is he going to take the lead in Ohio? If he doesn’t, he’s not going to be president.” The next presidential debate is in New York on Oct. 16, followed by a final one in Florida on Oct. 22. The campaign planned to keep Obama’s travel options flexible in the final weeks of the race, but was still focused heavily on Florida, Ohio and Virginia, states with large Electoral College vote hauls. Obama victories in two of those three states would almost certainly block Romney’s path to the required 270 electoral votes.

GRANITE from page one bricks. Greeley, a retired Fed Ex courier, was concerned about raising the necessary $1,000, but figured that he needed only 40 classmates to contribute $25 each, so he decided to float the suggestion on the Facebook site. “Within a few days, checks started showing up in my mailbox,” he said. Some class mates weren’t in a position to contribute monetarily but they aided the campaign by passing the message along to friends who weren’t active online. A couple of weeks into the drive, though, and the checks stopped arriving. He had collected $500 when the online drive stalled. So, he took to the telephone and started dialing some of the more financially successful members of the class. Within a month of his first post, he had collected enough for the paver. Donations ranged from $25 to a few hundred dollars. Greeley is hoping his class’s accomplishment will inspire, or challenge, other classes to follow suit. “Surely, some of the surrounding classes wouldn’t want us to walk on that pathway alone,” he said. Indeed, the Class of ‘72, he reported, has accepted the challenge. Greeley said donors reached for the checkbooks out of pride for their school and regard for what their high school years meant to them. “They did it for Laconia High School, they did it for the class. They said, hey,

He added that his classmates saw the gift as supportive of the technical center and high school project as a whole, not the atheltic facility alone. “The whole shebang. It’s our alma mater.” Craig Kozens, the school’s football coach, said the capital campaign is within sight of its goal, thanks in part to significant donations made by local companies and individuals. The brick and paver drive offers classes, parents, and individual alumni a chance to make a contribution and, when combined with those of others, help propel the drive further toward the finish line. “If this brick campaign, paver campaign, sells out, we’ll get really close to closing out our drive,” said Kozens. “The community is going to build this field. We’re going to do it brick by brick.” Greeley added, “You’re not going to get another opportunity to do something like this at this facility.” Those wishing to make a contribution to the project by purchasing a brick ($125 for a 4” X 8” or $250 for 8” square) or granite (12” square) paver may do so by going online to laconiaschool.org and clicking on “LHS Athletic Field Capital Campaign”. Paypal and credit cards are accepted and those donating $1,000 or more may spread their payment over several years.

Social media renders rapid judgment on Obama/ Romney debate in Denver

WASHINGTON (AP) — Big Bird is endangered. Jim Lehrer lost control. And Mitt Romney crushed President Barack Obama. Those were the judgments rendered across Twitter and Facebook Wednesday during the first debate of the 2012 presidential contest. While millions turned on their televisions to watch the 90-minute showdown, a smaller but highly engaged subset took to social networks to discuss and score the debate as it unspooled in real time. Until recently, debate watchers would have waited through the entire broadcast to hear analysis and reaction from a small cadre of television pundits. Social media has democratized the commentary, giving voice to a far wider range of participants who can shape the narrative long before the candidates reach their closing statements. “People still use old media to watch the debates, but they use social networks and other new media to have influence, voice opinions and be involved,” said Scott Talan, an assistant professor of communication at American University who studies social media and politics. “Old media is not dead; it’s growing. But now we have more people involved and engaged because of digital means.” The political conversation plays out across a range of social platforms, especially on the industry giant Facebook and on Twitter, the social networking hub where opinions are shared through 140-character comments known as tweets. Reflecting the changing times, many television analysts now monitor Twitter and Facebook feeds and use information gleaned from those platforms to inform their punditry. Twitter announced shortly after Wednesday’s debate that it had been the most tweeted event in U.S. political history, topping this year’s Republican and Democratic National Conventions. With 11.1 million comments, Wednesday’s debate was the fourth most-tweeted telecast of any kind, coming in just behind the most recent Grammy awards, MTV’s Video Music Awards and the Super Bowl, according to William Powers, director of The Crowdwire, an election project of Bluefin Labs, a social analytics firm. It was far higher than the previous political record holder: the third night of the Democratic National Convention in September, which drew 2.5 million comments. A significant spike in social media commentary came from women, The Crowdwire found. Some 55 percent of comments about the debate were made by women, compared to just 39 percent during the Republican primary debates. Unlike the wider viewing audience, debate watchers who comment on social media “are politically engaged in the strongest possible way,” Powers said. But, he added, “it’s a bit of a hothouse population. It does skew younger, and I’m not sure how much middle America is represented.” Twitter scored Romney the debate’s clear winner according to Peoplebrowsr, a Web analytics firm. The group found 47,141 tweets mentioning Romney and “win or winner” compared to just 29,677 mentioning Obama and “win or winner.” Romney was also the top tweet in battleground states including Florida, Ohio, Nevada and Colorado, Peoplebrowsr found. Search engine Google announced the debate’s four most searched terms: Simpson-Bowles (the bipartisan fiscal commission Obama appointed); DoddFrank (a Democratic-backed financial reform law); Who is Winning the Debate; and Big Bird. The debate, focused on domestic issues, was a numbers-heavy discussion of the economy, debt and entitlement reform. It produced strong reactions on Twitter from its earliest moments, from the candidates’ attire and appearance — “Obama: solid blue tie with dimple. Romney: red tie with stripes, no dimple,” tweeted publisher Arianna Huffington — to Jenga, a stacking game Romney and his wife, Ann, were said to have played with their grandchildren before the debate.

Avis P. Smart

GILFORD — Avis Perkins Smart, matriarch of a far-flung and devoted family, died at home in Gilford on September 18, 2012. A product of the Depression and World War II, she and her husband Bill built their family through a series of frequent moves, while finding time for active community engagement at every stop. With her dry sense of humor and warm smile, she also presided over a long, long string of innovative social gatherings that brought together a careful balance between new friends and the same old crowd. In January, she and Bill celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. Bill died in March. Avis was born in Schenectady, NY at Ellis Hospital and grew up at the height of the Depression. She attended Nott Terrace High School and then the University of New Hampshire, where in 1942 she earned a bachelor of science in child psychology. She then worked at the General Electric Company in Schenectady and won an award for selling the most war bonds She married Bill in 1946 after his return from service in the Pacific. Together, under the auspices of General Electric and Honeywell, they moved to Cleveland, Ohio, Hinsdale, Ill., Darien, Conn., Pittsfield, Mass., Dover, NH, London, Paris, Wellesley, Mass., Bryn Mawr. Penn., Wayzata, Minn., and Boston. They made dear and close friends at every stop. Through a long and active retirement they traveled the world and divided their time between Gilford, NH and Charleston, S.C. Avis was a lifelong Unitarian and active in her churches in New Hampshire and South Carolina. She was also a loyal UNH alumna, a Girl Scout leader, a longtime member of PEO and many other organiza-

tions wherever she lived. She shared her formidable energy and organizational skills with book groups, gourmet dinner clubs, community theaters, PTAs, investment clubs, Sunday schools and more. She is survived by four children and their families: Suzann Smart and Tom Merklinger of Clifton Park, NY, Robert Smart and Christine Belson of Washington, DC, David Smart and Margaret Frey of Cleveland, OH, and Christopher Smart and Shari Loessberg of Washington, DC; and seven grandchildren: Robert, David and John Merklinger, Anne, Caroline, Kate and Betty Smart. She is also survived by her sister, Reba Mehan of Schenectady, NY and her dear friend Jayne McAllister of Gilford, NH. She is predeceased by her brother Robert W. Perkins, who was awarded the Silver Star after he died in 1943 in a Japanese prisoner of war camp, and her brother Gerard A. Perkins, who died in 1977 after retiring from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The family is grateful to C. Daniel Griffin, APRN of Belknap Family Health Center for his friendship and care and to the extraordinary staff of Live Free at Home Healthcare.

On Saturday, November 3, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the LCA will welcome the public to 15 Railroad Avenue to visit the museum. The exhibits with items that many supporters have donated are ready – Annie Oehlschlaeger’s railroad collection, Bob ForHuot Technical Center students take a break to pose from using their technical skills as interns in tier’s vast memorabilia rehabilitating the Lakeport Freighthouse for a museum. It was a learning experience for them and a collection and scraplabor and cost saving experience for the non-profit Lakeport Community Association. (Courtesy photo) books, stately knitting machinery or unstately looking wooden water pipes, also composed a song commemorating the 100th delicate Victorian clothing presented by the RichAnniversary of the Great Lakeport Fire of 1903 for ardson family, the treasured boxcar and more are all the association. on display. The Lakeport Community Association was Claire Clark of Black Brook, who had promised founded March 4, 1997 as a Lakeport area group to compose a song for this grand opening for the to address the issue of the Elm Street Bridge projlate LCA President and founder, Wanda Tibbetts, ect and the loss of the B&M railroad station. LCA strummed her guitar and sang with Tina Hayward, became incorporated as a non-profit in 1999. With Susan Dath and Jane Kneuer. Clark, who is nearly their mission, “To preserve, yet improve the Lakeready to publish her book on Black Brook History, port Community”, they advanced to rehabilitating

the Lakeport Freighthouse c. 1899 (the last remaining building of a once very busy railway center) as a museum to house exhibits of railroad and Lakeport memorabilia. In the past fifteen years, the association and its members have raised funds, mostly through yard sales, and have followed all compliance codes while retaining the historic integrity in restoring and preserving the freighthouse. This meant providing handicap accessibility with the ramp and bathroom; repairing or replacing roof, floors, walls, windows, foundation, plumbing and lighting; adding insulation, walls and heat, the bathroom and kitchen/office room and painting the exterior. Another dream was realized with the purchase of the boxcar. Much planning repaired and reset the sidetrack to house the boxcar along the ramp. It was painted and outfitted with doors, windows, lighting, shelves and ventilation. Today, if offers the unique experience of shopping at a yard sale in a boxcar in a freight yard. All the while the Lakeport Community Association was fulfilling their dream, they were also very active advocates for the Lakeport community for sidewalks in the areas, strongly supporting their treasure of historic buildings – Goss Reading Room, United Baptist Church, Hathaway House, Odd Fellows Opera House and more, with clean-up days, award-winning Adopt-A-Spot plantings, maintaining Torrey Park and the chestnut tree, diligent with holiday decorations and lights in Lakeport Square, proud to wave flags along Lakeport Square and the Elm Street Bridge,– adopting families for Christmas, hosting entertainment programs, events, dinners, political forums and much, much more while always welcoming new growth and reuse of old buildings. see next page

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis place. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Mercury encourages you to take up space and command attention with your communication style. You’ll gain the support of authority figures and the approval of those who see you as an authority. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may feel inclined to reach out and quite literally touch people. Handshakes and hugs are healing, especially since you’ve spent so much energy communicating virtually. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Do not underestimate the power of your friendships. As your sign mate President Woodrow Wilson said, “Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together.” AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If love is a game, this feels like the prizewinning round. Hand on the buzzer, you hope to come up with the right answer. Of course, it’s best not to make your move until you’re really sure. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your inner circle will like hearing what you think, but beyond that, there is little to gain and much to lose from discussing personal views with business associates or the general public. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 5). A new attitude takes hold in you this year. Your joy will be reflected in an activity in which you love to immerse yourself. You could rescue an animal or be someone’s hero in November. Finances improve in 2013 simply because you create a budget and stick to it. An adventure (and a possible relocation) launches in May. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 37, 16, 5 and 43.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Instead of seeing the huge task before you as an overwhelming job, see it as a series of little jobs, all of which happen to be quite doable with your current resources. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There will be some drama. It will take but three days for the nonsense going on now to get old. Knowing that you’ll look back on it and think it’s just ridiculous, you may want to limit your current investment. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). With the moon rooting you on, there’s a bubbly quality to your conversation. Be careful: Effervescence is contagious. Tonight features a social and culinary destination. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be attuned to the story behind things. When the story isn’t being told, you’ll either speculate as to what it might be, or you’ll ask gentle questions to try to nudge out the truth. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may get the feeling that a boss, client or friend is sharing incorrect or irrelevant information. Though the “customer” is not always right, it’s sometimes necessary to treat them as if they are. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Jokes and stories are best shared face to face. Resist the urge to forward them in email form because it robs you of the opportunity to work on the social skills that really matter today: how you present yourself in person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have no interest in making a good impression. You feel that unless you can wow people, it’s not worth your time to show up. So you’ll over-deliver on what you never promised you’d do in the first

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 5, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My son married a young widow with two small boys. They have been married 15 years and are currently expecting their first child together. Throughout this marriage, my daughter-in-law would never let my son have any kind of fatherly relationship with her older boy, although he was the sole father of the younger child. Now the older boy is 20 and won’t leave his mother’s side. He has had only one girlfriend, and she was the daughter of a close friend of Mom’s. He has to sleep in the bedroom next to hers. He paces the floor until she gets home from work and then follows her around the house. He sits outside the bathroom door while she bathes. He calls and texts her constantly, and she does the same. When he graduated high school, he attended a local community college because he didn’t want to leave the city. But it became too difficult to drive back and forth between school and the house, so he quit and got a minimum-wage job. This young man doesn’t have a good relationship with his younger brother or my son. It’s as though he resents their presence in the home and wants his mother all to himself. She takes him everywhere she goes. I find it very strange and can’t help wondering whether they are involved in an incestuous relationship. What do you think? -- Just Wondering Dear Wondering: We don’t believe it is necessarily incestuous, but it is decidedly unhealthy. The mother has created a dependency. She treated her son as a “husband substitute” when she was widowed, and he has clung to that job (with her encouragement) ever since. This is unfair to the boy, as well as to his brother. And there is the possibility that the mother will transfer her affections to the new baby, creating a more serious problem. Please talk to your son and urge him to help this young man become independent of his mother -- a developmental

step that he has missed. It sounds as if the entire family could use some counseling. Dear Annie: I love my mother, but our relationship has never been easy. Most of my childhood memories are unpleasant due to my parents’ nasty divorce. When my younger brother chose to live with Dad, it just about killed Mom. The bitterness and depression swallowed her up. My brother and I could never fill the hole in her heart or put a smile on her face. I am now 25 and can’t stand her self-pity and rude comments about my father and brother. She complains about being single, having no friends and coming home to an empty house. I try to spend time with her, but we always end up arguing. I think she thrives on the conflict. My husband and I plan to start a family soon. I want my mother in my life, but I don’t want my kids to be around so much negativity. There is no loving way to describe her negative attitude. How would I explain it to them? -- Worried Daughter Dear Daughter: Kids are amazingly adaptable and accepting. If your mother loves them, they will respond and understand that this is just the way Grandma is. You may need to set boundaries on how much rudeness she spouts in front of them and limit her time when she is particularly negative. But otherwise, handle each challenge as it appears. Dear Annie: As a public health official, I disagree with your response to “Concerned Sister,” whose sister has dogs, cats, turtles and a lizard. The home environment as described suggests some significant health issues, from salmonella that is carried by reptiles to canine feces left on the floors for periods of time. These health hazards are sources of pathogens that cause infectious diseases. If there isn’t a mental health diagnosis, the symptoms are definitely in place for one. -- D.S., Health Director
