Given opportunity, LHS Alleged victim tells court he remembers students describe bullying nothing of bloody Meredith crime scene By gAil oBeR

LACONIA — Bullying and intolerance are a daily reality for many students at Laconia High School, several of whom described the pain and frustration they have experienced to their fellow students at a special presentation on tolerance and inclusion yesterday. “Ever since I started middle school here I’ve been bullied because I’m Puerto Rican. And because I’ve stood up for my sister, who is bisexual, people are saying that I’m the see BuLLyING page 12
LACONIA — Although the victim of an allege, botched Meredith armed robbery testified yesterday in Belknap County Superior Court that he doesn’t remember ever being in New Hampshire before this week, the police officer who found him standing on Route 3 shirtless and covered in blood in the early morning of June 6, 2010 remembers him. Meredith Police Officer Michael Goulet testified he was working his scheduled
overnight shift on June 5 to June 6, 2010 when he was flagged down by a group of people on Daniel Webster Highway. Goulet said he was approached by a black man wearing no shirt who “appeared to be covered in blood.” Goulet described the man he later identified as David Rivera as “frantic, crying and screaming.” Rivera lives in Brockton, Mass. and was under a court order to come to Laconia to testify about allegedly being the victim of Michael Noucas and the late Robert Hart. see CrIME page 8

Unions, students join Wall Street protesters
NEW YORK (AP) — Unions lent their muscle to the long-running protest against Wall Street and economic inequality Wednesday, with their members joining thousands of protesters in a lower Manhattan march as smaller demonstrations flourished across the country. Protesters in suits and T-shirts with union slogans left work early to march with activists who have been camped out in Zuccotti Park for days. Some marchers brought along their children, hoisting them onto their shoulders as they walked down Broadway. “We’re here to stop corporate greed,” said Mike Pellegrino, an NYC Transit bus mechanic from Rye Brook. “They should pay their fair share of taxes. We’re just working and looking for decent lives for our families.” Of the protesters, he said, “We feel kinship with them. We’re both looking for the same things.” People gathered in front of the courthouses that encircle Foley Square, then marched to Zuccotti Park, where they refueled with snacks and painted new signs as the scent of burning sage wafted through the plaza.

Army defectors aim to overthrow Syrian regime BEIRUT (AP) — A group of military defectors known as the Free Syrian Army is emerging as the first armed challenge to President Bashar Assad’s authoritarian regime after seven months of largely nonviolent resistance. Riad al-Asaad, the group’s leader and an air force colonel who recently fled to Turkey, boasted in an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday that he
now has more than 10,000 members and called on fellow soldiers to join him in overthrowing the “murderous” regime. While analysts said those numbers might be inflated, al-Asaad was confident more soldiers would soon join his ranks. “They will soon discover that armed rebellion is the only way to break the Syrian regime,” he said in a phone interview from Turkey. “I call on all the honor-
able people in the Syrian army to join us so we can liberate our country,” he said. “It is the only way to get rid of this murderous regime.” The dissident group is gaining momentum that signals a trend toward militarization of the uprising. That momentum has raised fears that Syria may be sliding toward civil war. see SYRIA page 7
CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Steve Jobs, the Apple founder and former CEO who invented and masterfully marketed eversleeker gadgets that transformed everyday technology, from the personal computer to the iPod and iPhone, has died. He was 56. Apple announced his death without giving a specific cause. “We are deeply saddened to announce that Steve Jobs passed away today,” the company said in a brief statement. “Steve’s brilliance, passion and energy
were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve” Jobs had battled cancer in 2004 and underwent a liver transplant in 2009 after taking a leave of absence for unspecified health problems. He took another leave of absence in January — his third since his health problems began — before resigning as CEO six weeks ago. Jobs became Apple’s chairman and handed the CEO job over to
his hand-picked successor, Tim Cook. The news Apple fans and shareholders had been dreading came the day after Apple unveiled its latest version of the iPhone, just one in a procession of devices that shaped technology and society while Jobs was running the company. Jobs started Apple with a high school friend in a Silicon Valley garage in 1976, was forced out a decade later and returned in 1997 to rescue the company. During his see STEVE JOBS page 12
NEW YORK (AP) — The parent of the Friendly’s restaurant chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Wednesday and said that it has already closed 63 of its stores. Each store employed about 20 people, so about 1,260 jobs were lost. WMUR-TV reported that the restaurant on Lafayette Road in Portsmouth would be
the only restaurant to close in New Hampshire. The remaining restaurants would be open for business as usual. The 76-year-old company known for its ice cream and hamburgers is the latest restaurant chain to file for bankruptcy, as consumers continue to eat out less, a habit they picked up during the recession, and
food costs remain high. Other companies that have sought bankruptcy protection this year include Perkins & Marie Callender’s; Real Mex, which operates El Torito Restaurant and Chevys Fresh Mex, and SSI Group Holding Corp., which operates Souper Salad and Grandy’s see FRIENDLY’S page 14

Good news for Democrats; watch the GOP debates
It’s not that easy to find good news these days, at least for Democrats. You pick up the paper in the morning (or read it online the night before), and it’s gloom and doom. Sure, the president always looks better when he’s out of Washington, talking to real people, reminding us of exactly why we had so much hope in the first place. But still. To say that Democrats are nervous and disheartened is an understatement. But take heart, ye of little faith. I have an answer. Watch the Republicans debate! I have to admit that even though I’m sometimes in the business of being a talking head, I have not watched all of the Republican debates. Why not? No offense, but I’m just not that interested in what Rick Santorum or Gary Johnson has to say. Aren’t the clips good enough? But this week, in preparing for the midterm exam in my undergraduate presidential politics class, it only made sense to check in on the Republicans. So I watched the Fox News/Google Orlando debate with my students, many of whom are eager to find a Republican to like. After nearly two hours, the only people smiling were the Democrats. The clips are dispiriting; the full tape is downright despair or delight, depending on your perspective. Rick Perry was even worse than I imagined. Just awful. I’m not talking about his positions. I’m not expecting to be convinced. But how could a guy who has been in politics so long have so much trouble presenting his views in a coherent way? When he entered the race, he was the great hope of conservative Republicans. Man, they must be depressed. Michele Bachmann? Okay, my expectations were low, but how low can you go? When she boasted that she had raised five “biological” children, you could hear the groans. Ouch. When she denied having attacked Perry and his support of the safe and effective vaccine preventing cervical cancer, you could see the heads shaking. What was this woman doing on that stage? Why were the other candidates treating her as a serious person? When asked whom they would put on the ticket, only Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich refused to play “Hollywood Squares.” The rest looked silly for not only answering the question but for going out of their way to say they would be happy to run with anyone on the stage. Seriously, Bachmann makes Sarah Palin look like a rocket sci-
entist. This is the only woman in the group? Shameful. I like Gingrich. He is very smart. But if you didn’t know that in advance, you wouldn’t know it afterward. Ditto for Jon Huntsman. And then there was the new hope of the Republican Party: Herman Cain. The former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza is at least fun to watch. Charismatic. A character. But a president? Ready to take on Barack Obama in a serious debate about foreign policy or education or the environment? Not. Who was that weird guy who made no sense, one of my students asked me afterward. He could have been referring to almost anyone on the stage, but actually, it was Santorum. Running for president only looks easy. Ditto, especially, for these cattle-call debates. Even the best candidate has trouble shining in one-minute answers on a crowded stage. Maybe Perry will learn to get out a thought coherently. Maybe Johnson will find a better way to talk about job creation than crediting his neighbor’s dogs for creating shovel work. (My own create indoor carpet cleaning, but I do it for free.) Certainly, it’s just as well (for Republicans) that more people aren’t paying attention. By far, the most impressive guy, the most polished by a mile, was Romney, the self-described conservative businessman. But anyone who lived in Massachusetts while he was governor would probably use another word, like “moderate.” His biggest accomplishment is now his biggest problem: RomneyCare. And that’s not his only problem. There was a reason (or a host of them) why he didn’t get the nomination last time. It certainly wasn’t because of any love affair between conservatives and John McCain. Frankly, it’s not at all clear to me that Republicans, much less the country, will support a Massachusetts Mormon who used to be a moderate. I’m from Massachusetts, the home of liberals and lobsters. I have nothing against Mormons or moderates. But then, I’m a liberal who likes lobster. It’s true that many people are disappointed with Barack Obama. But it’s also true that when compared to the Republicans, at least as of today, he looks pretty darn good.

LETTERS Could it be that we, not others, are the cause of our problems? To the editors, So, like the rest of your readers, I’ve read the letters week after week, telling how the ills of the world/country are caused by those “others” (tea partiers, liberals, atheists, etc.) and their outrageous ideas. Well, there have been conflicts and wars for as long as we’ve been on the planet, and mistreatment and hatred based on religion, skin color, skin shade, physical afflictions, mental afflictions, so maybe it’s a human problem? Maybe the reason we wake up angry, fearful and confused is that we’re living amongst other fearful confused people who, like ourselves, find it easier and less painful to ascribe the cause of our
ills to others — especially others we don’t understand, whether other individuals (our loud neighbor), or other groups (the smug Christians/atheists) or other countries/governments (those damned Iranians, French, Americans). Could it be that the source of our anxiety, our resentments, hatred and fear is within ourselves? I realize it’s scary and disturbing to suspect that the reason our family, our religion, our country is not inherently better than any other resides in our own flawed, imperfect being, but to see that is at once liberating, exciting, and heart opening. Check it out. Steve Orlich Ashland
We would never have made it through without help from many To the editor, I am finally home again! I can never thank everyone enough for the support that I have been given over the last nine months: to the firefighters who saved my house, my sanity and as many items as they could, my neighbors and friends who took in my animals until I could bring them with me, the Red Cross, Kirk and Lori who let us stay in their house the entire time, the teachers and students (and their parents) at Inter-Lakes who made Shawn forget about the items he lost and made him feel so special at his ‘Secret Shawn’ day, Altrusa, my
friends and my co-workers at NHHS who supported me and put up with my months of rebuilding troubles. I would never have made it through without everyone’s support, words of encouragement and love. I should have thanked you all so much sooner than this but please know that not a day has gone by without my being very grateful to everyone. I hope that no one has to go through what I did but know that I will ‘pay forward’ all that was given to me to help out others in need. Carrie Chase Meredith
Even Democrats know the president’s jobs bill is unacceptable To the editor, Yesterday provided another clear example of President Obama and other Democrats blaming others for their own failings. For a month Democrats have blamed Republicans for not passing President Obama’s “jobs” bill. But, yesterday when Republicans pressed for a vote on the bill, Senate Democrats prevented the vote. President Obama lies when he blames Republicans for failure to pass a jobs bill. Even Democrats know President Obama’s bill is unacceptable, full of wasteful spending and increased taxes, intended only to give a failing president a campaign tool for fooling ignorant voters.
so bad that the Democrat-controlled Senate rejects it, why should the House consider it? When House Republicans offered to help create a bill that would actually create jobs, the president refused. After nearly three years we have learned that President Obama only knows and promotes liberal policies that raise our cost of living, increase our taxes, and kill American jobs. These are the policies promoted by his new “jobs” bill which would just create more misery for Americans. Hopefully Republicans will join Democrats in refusing to pass the president’s jobs bill, it deserves to die. Don Ewing

LETTERS Being a man means doing what’s right especially when it isn’t easy To the editor, This letter is addressed to boys ages 6 to 12: It has never been “easy” to change from being a “boy” to being a “man”. Over the history of America being a “man” meant three things. TO RIDE At age six, a boy should start to be physically well coordinated, to run, to jump, to climb a tree, so, that by age 12 doing these things will have become second nature. Getting to be as well coordinated physically is difficult to do. Becoming well coordinated requires a lot of seat and a lot of hours. TO SHOOT STRAIGHT At age six, a boy should start to be a ‘”straight shooter” not only in marksmanship with guns, but also in straight dealings with others, so that by age 12 these things will have become second nature to you. Consistently being a “straight shooter” is difficult to do. TO BE TRUTHFUL At age six, a boy should start to keep his promises, so that is it widely known “that your word is as good as your bond”. To be responsible for every word you utter, to not originate falsehoods, but also in so far as you can, to not repeat falsehoods originated by
others, so that by age 12 these things will have become second nature to you. Being truthful, at those times when it counts most, is difficult. It will be difficult all your life, because is it much easier (As one-time Member of Congress Tip O’Neil, wrote about his service in Congress, it is easier to “go along to get along”) than it is to say “stop the foolishness”, when one is all alone and no one else is there to help hold back the flood of misinformation. For those who have never been favored with the above guidelines, just as one is never too old to have a happy childhood, no man is ever too old to start to live up to the best of his ability, to the above guidelines. None of these things have ever been easy, but then neither has “being a man”, ever been easy. Then when you get to be a grandfather, your grandchildren will realize that their grandfather, at times when it was important, that their grandfather was a man. At that time, the good regard of your grandchildren will be more important to you than the Nobel Peace Prize, or election to political office, or any other honor that can be awarded to men. Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia
Those working the system have better health care than those who work To the editor, A meeting was held on Saturday, August 13th at Tardif Park regarding the community and its social services system. I want to thank all those in attendance and appreciate your efforts and attention to this matter. I also want to thank The Daily Sun for printing my letters and promoting the meeting. Unfortunately, the article in that Saturday’s edition had some inaccurate information and was a little off base. The article’s title may have slanted the intention of the meeting. I would also like to thank Laconia Police Chief Adams and was fortunate to be invited and able to attend a meeting regarding alcohol and substance abuse in the city hosted by “Better Together” and presented by Jessica Blais. Just so happens, the very next week, two women were arrested at a subsidized housing unit for selling drugs. The one who hid pills in her bra and drugs in a teddy bear mentioned that she was on disability. Another great example of the people that are being taking care of by the working folks. Again, major economic resources are exhausted by one person — on Social Security, probably other assistance programs, and now tying up law enforcement personnel and the judicial system. How much is this one person costing society? I know of many other examples and I would not be surprised that while you are reading this letter that you are thinking of someone you know. I also know good people receiving benefits that live within their means and contribute to society in a positive manner. To my surprise, three people who actually live in subsidized housing and receive other benefits made contact with me to voice their disgust of where the system is heading. Believe it or not,
upset at the ones who are abusing the system. The meeting I held was to feel things out and arrive at its conclusion by deciding one of two things. Do we meet again or is this a lost cause? Although the meeting was small in attendance, there is an even larger demand to meet again. Many people mentioned they liked reading my letters. I didn’t write the letters to amuse people, I wrote them to move people, hoping they would get involved. After a month’s time to reflect and wait for a response, I personally feel that people are not going to change and they will just continue to complain in their backyards. Pretty soon you will be able to see it all from your backyard. I reached out to our state reps, but they did not attend my meeting. I guess they are too busy writing letters bashing each other and our citizens. What exactly of “Laconia’s business” are they taking care of? It seems to me that they are all on their own personal agendas and are not listening to us, the ones who voted for you. I didn’t even get a call back from our local anti-government radio talk show host. I have noticed a reoccurring theme that people only seem to jump when it’s their kid, or their job, or their deal. That is why I am reluctant to continue in pursuit of this issue. I wonder how many people truly understand the impact of people abusing the systems of benefits has on our society. Maybe we should continue to not doing anything. Maybe we should just sit by and keep enabling this situation to escalate. Did you know that people on the system in other states are moving here because our state has much better social services? Even the assistance funds at local churches have been just about drained from helping

To the editor, For Barack Obama there is no such thing as the American economy. Instead there are two Americas with separate economies — one private the other public. The important economy and the one he directs much attention and spending toward is the public economy. The only one that matters for the health of the country is the public economy, the other he treats as if a black sheep. Surprising, from a man who has likely himself experienced racism and segregation to act in such a manner. The primary targets of the new $447-billion jobs bill is the public sector. The bill aims at people and industries that will always be dependent on payments from public budgets. His plan operates almost entirely within the public sector of the economy. The primary categories of workers to be helped by the plan include teachers, police, firefighters and construction workers. Is it coincidence that the majority of these professions are highly unionized and form a strong coalition of Democratic votes? Do we have a president who is an advocate for only those who vote for him. A president who represents the best interests of only HALF OF AMERICA. The other 50-percent are left to blow in the economic wind. The new jobs plan asserts that it will put people back to work to improve America’s future competitiveness. Then it goes on to state it will rehire police and firefighters laid off. I have nothing
against the police or firefighters but I sure am mystified how these occupations directly improve Americas competitiveness in the world economy. Barack Obama seems oblivious to the fact the private sector has had layoffs and is hurting badly if not worse. Bank Of America just announced job cuts totally 30,000 people and HSBC just announced massive layoffs. The Obama jobs plan has almost entirely no recognition of the unemployed people connected to what are Americas most competitive and dynamic industries and the place where the next generation of jobs lie. In the Obama circle-divided universe, the private sector of America is merely a satellite orbiting the “public sun”. Barack Obama has proven time and time again his inability or interest to offer programs and legislation that work for the WHOLE NATION. A whole America jobs plan to lift both blue collar and white collar workers would have included a some gesture and acknowledgement of recommendations put forth by the bi partisan BowlesSimpson commission, including a broad tax overhaul and desperately needed reforms of Sarbanes-Oxley intended to offer relief to many small business enterprises mired in government rules and regulations. It seems this is all a “pipe dream”. The American jobs act is a jobs plan for Barack Obama. The United States is a lot bigger country than his vision allows. Tony Boutin Gilford
Avoid contracting the disease masquerading as fiscal conservatism To the editor, In Don Ewing’s recent letter titled “TEA Party demands rejection of special interests, right and left”, Mr Ewing attacks John Hightower’s column as a screed against the TEA Party. But not once did Mr. Hightower mention the tea party. I listen to Jim Hightower’s podcasts every day and I can tell you that the piece was about right wing extremists like Eric Cantor demanding cuts to offset the cost of disaster relief BEFORE relief is approved. Few times in American history have we been graced by such a heartless scumbag who would let people go cold, hungry, injured, and remain in harm’s way for the purpose
of good bookkeeping. Hostage taker Cantor is so brainwashed that he didn’t even learn after the first time he tried this. Most people will have none of his sociopathic agenda. But try he did again. Mr Hightower’s lowdown was an accurate attack on the twisted moral sense of the right wing. Mr. Ewing seems to agree with Eric Cantor since he is using Hightower’s piece as a springboard to defending the cuts and rejecting special interests. Am I to suppose that Mr. Ewing thinks disaster relief qualifies as a “special interest” group? OMG! Can I say “any cut is a good cut” to Mr Ewing? There is something very wrong with the moral see next page
from preceding page all the “needy” people. I know that while delivering food at my second job that I have noticed that six or seven out of 10 of the customers are receiving assistance. While attending the PAYT public meeting, I learned that the PAYT trash bags are considered subsidies and people receiving assistance would be provided the bags free of charge. So again, the workers pay for themselves as well as others. You may also want to research the managed Medicare that is coming to our state? I wish that I could make more of a difference. I am busy working while recipients of services being supported by my tax dollars have more medical
people like me who don’t even have health insurance? For me personally, it is unaffordable, and I am still paying bills from my back surgery in January, when I did have health insurance. In conclusion, I would like to say thanks again to everyone who shared their concerns with me. I also want to thank my wonderful girlfriend for being so supportive and helpful. I have a life as well, but I am willing to participate if there are enough people who believe something needs to be done. I pray that some positive change takes place in the near future. Remember, if we are not part of the solution then we are part of the problem. The cause is bigger than the individual. Scott Kipreotis

County officials emphatically deny inmates are released from county jail to avoid paying for medical treatment By Michael Kitch LACONIA — When the Belknap County Commission met last night, Chairman Ed Philpot again flatly rejected the claim by LRGHealthcare that county officials, following a policy set by the county commission and convention, were releasing inmates from the county jail to avoid footing their medical bills and shifting the costs to the hospital. After countering the charges, the commissioners asked County Administrator Debra Shackett to invite representatives of LRGHealthcare to meet with Dan Ward, superintendent of the Department of Corrections, and County Attorney Melissa Gulbrandsen, In a letter delivered to the commissioners last week, Tom Clairmont, president and chief executive officer of LRGHeathcare, recalled that earlier this month Dan Ward, superintendent of the jail, told representatives of the hospital that he “would make recommendations to the county attorney” to reduce or waive bail, request early release and place inmates on electronic monitoring bracelets to avoid responsibility for their medical claims. Clairmont said that he understood the practice is “expected and encouraged” by both the Belknap County Convention and commission. The charges, along with Philpot’s denial, were reported by The Daily Sun the day after the letter was delivered. Philpot said that since then the commission has received a second letter from the hospital, apologizing for releasing the first to the press
and offering to discuss the issue with county officials. Despite the apology, Philpot repeated that the original “assertions were quite misinformed, unfounded and frankly quite unprofessional. It is not happening,” he continued, defending the conduct of Ward and Gulbrandsen, both of whom were present. “I’m offended for both of you,” he said. “It shocked the hell out of me,” said Commissioner John Thomas, who suggested that Clairmont “must be getting second-hand information.” “It’s just not right,” agreed Commissioner Steve Nedeau. “It’s not as if they aren’t getting their money,” he added, noting that the county pays its bills from the hospital promptly. Gulbrandsen, who said she learned of the charges from the newspaper, said she was “deeply offended, professionally and personally. And I have a pretty thick skin.” She insisted that as county attorney her first duty is to protect the public, which is her foremost consideration when faced with motions by defense attorneys for the early release or electronic monitoring of their clients. Gulbrandsen explained that there are legal procedures for releasing inmates, which carefully weigh the nature of the offense and criminal history of the individual, as well as prospects for stable living conditions and gainful employment to determine the risk to the public. She said that defense attorneys raise medical issues on behalf of their clients, acknowledging that “they may be a factor, but certainly not the factor or even a primary factor.”
SYRIA from page 2 The movement could propel the revolt by encouraging more senior level defections, or it could backfire horribly, giving the regime a new pretext to crack down even harder than it already has. Nearly 3,000 people have been killed in the violence since March, according to the U.N. and activists. Until the rebels can secure a territorial foothold as an operational launching pad — much like the eastern city of Benghazi was for the Libyan rebels — the defections are unlikely to pose a real threat to the unity of the Syrian army. “The Libyan model is looking increasingly attractive to the Syrian opposition,” said Shadi Hamid, director of research at The Brookings
Doha Center in Qatar. However, he described the dissident army as a “high risk, high reward situation.” He said territorial gains might encourage the international community to offer support and make regime change more real in the minds of outside observers. “But the flip side of that is that it gives the regime ... pretext to wipe out a city so it is a very risky move,” Hamid added. International intervention, such as the NATO action in Libya that helped topple Moammar Gadhafi, is all but out of the question in Syria. Washington and its allies have shown little appetite for intervening in yet another Arab nation in turmoil. There also is real concern that Assad’s ouster would spread chaos around the region.
from preceding page sense in people like Eric Cantor. If your child suffers a serious accident, the last thing you do is check your bank statements to see if you can afford to take your child to the emergency room. Its not normal; its not natural; ITS NOT HUMAN!. Of course, when its not THEIR loved one, its easy for right wing extremists to decide if there are enough funds. Do you remember Arizona Governor Jan Brewer’s death panel? She cut already approved organ transplants
for 100 very sick patients to save the state some money. Selling two of her jets would have saved the same amount but she chose death for the patients. It meant a death sentence for all of them. She’s right wing crazy so people died. Folks, try not to get infected by the poison running around calling itself fiscal conservatism. Its a fatal disease — to someone else’s loved one.

CRIME from page one Noucas’s trial for two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary began yesterday with opening statements and testimony from Rivera, three Meredith Police Officers and one N.H. State Trooper. His lawyer, Andrew Winters has filed an affirmative defense saying what ever Noucas did that night, it was in his own defense or the defense of Hart. Prosecutors say Rivera had been staying in the third floor bedroom of Noucas’s former girlfriend Sarah Longval when he was allegedly set upon by Hart and Noucas, who were wearing orange masks and Latex gloves. The state also contends that Hart had a baseball bat, Noucas had a knife and two men were allegedly there to rob Rivera of $800. In the ensuing fight, prosecutors say Rivera was able to overcome his attackers, stab Hart to death and slash Noucas’s throat. Police affidavits also say a wounded and bleeding Noucas left Longval’s 16 Lake Street duplex apartment and joined Julie Sallies, an accomplice, who
was waiting in a car. She drove him to the Meredith Police Station, dropped him off and went back to find Hart, her fiancee. Sallies, who is scheduled to testify at some point, pleaded guilty to her role in the alleged armed robbery/burglary and is serving a five-to-10 year sentence in the N.H. State Prison for Women. In opening statements, Assistant Belknap County Attorney Carley Ahern described Sallies as a woman who had a “life changing experience” who decided to tell the truth. She said police found a mask and a glove that had Noucas’s DNA and saliva on them in her car and she would prove he is guilty of armed robbery and burglary. In his opening statement, Winters said what the prosecution presents as an open-and-shut case couldn’t be further from the truth. He said the physical evidence doesn’t add up and that if Noucas was wearing the second mask found in Sallies’ car, then there would be cut holes reflecting his wounds, and there are not. He said Sallies “cut a deal to get a lower sentence
for herself” and that she was a woman “protecting the memory of her boyfriend.” Winters also said that Noucas had a key to Longval’s apartment, was the father of her child and had some of his things there so there could be no burglary. The jury of nine women and five men was seated last week, but, before yesterday’s testimony and after about an hour of behinds the scenes interviews with lawyers and Judge James O’Neill, one female jury was eliminated. Testifying first was N.H. State Trooper and K-9 Officer Meredith Napier. Napier said she were the third police officer to respond to 16 Lake St. She said she joined Meredith Police Lt. Keith True and State Police Sgt. Patrick Curran and entered the apartment from the rear entrance. She testified Curran, who had a rifle, announced who they were and she entered behind him and in front of True. After making sure the first floor was unoccupied she said the three followed a trail of blood up to the second floor. She said her attention was “drawn to the blood.” Napier testified that there was blood “all over the stairs” and smeared on the wall. Napier said she started up the staircase when she heard Curran announce himself and start screaming at someone to “drop the knife.” She said she saw a female, later identified as Sarah Longval, with “something in her hand,” that she dropped after about “10 or 15 seconds.” She said True handcuffed her and stayed with her until the rest of the house was “cleared.” Napier said she, with Curran, made sure no one was in one third floor bedroom but when she followed Curran into into the second bedroom she saw “a male subject slumped over.” She said she held her dog very close to her so he wouldn’t attack and noticed the man, who was Hart, was slumped near “a large pool of really thick dark blood and part of a bat.” She also said Hart was wearing a latex-type rubber glove. She said Hart was dead, no one else was in the duplex apartment and she and Curran left the room, gathered True and Longval and left the now-secure building. Napier said Curran told her to track a blood trail leading from the back of the house through a clearing that led to Main Street with the intention of finding anyone else who may need medical help. At Prosecutor Stacy Kaelin’s request, she explained to the jury how a K-9 tracks human scents. Under cross examination she said hers is not a cadaver dog. She said she found people on nearby Main Street and not finding any other victims returned her dog to the car and waited for orders to leave. Napier said she didn’t preserve evidence or interview witnesses. Rivera, who had refused to come back to New Hampshire voluntarily, was given immunity and ordered by a Massachusetts judge to return to the state and testify. He took the stand and said he remembers nothing. Ahern examination of him was either to elicit some memories of the event of that night or discredit him completely. “Do you remember speaking to a state trooper who made an audio recording,” asked Ahern. “No Ma’am,” Rivera said. “If you were to see it would it refresh your memory?” she asked. Rivera shrugged and slowly began reading the 100 page written transcript. After a few minutes, Judge James O’Neill ruled that, in the interest of time, Rivera and his lawyers could review the transcript in a private room and the rest of the witnesses for the day, all Meredith Police Officers, would be called. While Rivera reviewed the transcript, Goulet, Meredith Police Lt. Keith True and Meredith Patrol Officer Phil McLaughlin testified to what they saw or did during the early hours of June 6, 2010. True testified that it was a knife Longval had in her hand and it was pointed outward. He too testified that she eventually dropped it and he put her in handcuffs and stayed with her while Napier and Curran continued up to the third floor, still following see next page

the blood trail. True testified that there was no blood in Longval’s “neat and organized” bedroom, no blood on her and that she was “frantic.” The house secure, True said he went to the Meredith Police Station to apply for a search warrant. He also testified there was no sign of a forced entry. True said he returned to the apartment and, warrant in hand, began the investigation that would last for the next 18 hours. “Did you notice anything?” asked Ahern. He described Hart’s injuries as “severe” and said there was “large pool of blood.” He said there was a softball bat next to him “There appeared to be a struggle,” True said, adding things were strewn about the bedroom. He described the room where Rivera was allegedly staying as having an air mattress and a small stand with a television. He said he believed there was a movie on T.V. because he noticed the credits were running. Ahern asked him if he saw anything else and he said he saw an orange knit hat, Hart was not breathing and he was wearing a plastic rubber glove. She showed him a photo of the crime scene and he said he recalled everything he saw in the picture to be where it was that evening. He also said he went to the parking lot on Main Street, following the blood trail Napier said she and her dog followed, and noticed there was blood around where it appeared a car had been. “Whoever was bleeding walked around the car,” he said, noting that it appeared as though some one had sped away because rocks from the dust were on the pavement. Ahern also asked True about what he saw at the Meredith Police Station when he returned to get the warrant and True described a plastic glove lying in the middle of Route 3. Ahern introduced evidence photos of the glove that showed it to be very near the double yellow line. He also described a blood trail leading into the lobby of the police station. On cross examination, Winters asked True about the blood in the third floor bedroom and True said there was blood on the walls and “an orange hat next to the body in a pool of blood.” Winters asked him if he saw a Latex glove and True replied “on his hands.” When Rivera returned, his memory had not improved. “Did it remind you of anything?” Ahern asked. “No,” said Rivera. “Do you know what your signature looks like?” she asked showing him three pages of different documents. “It looks kind of like my birthday and name,” Rivera said who was 19 during the alleged attack and is now 21. Three times Ahern asked if if he signed documents and three times Rivera said he wasn’t sure. When Ahern asked him if he remembered meeting with Belknap County’s Victims Assistant Barbara Belmont, he said he remembered. Ahern showed him documents he purportedly signed at that meeting including one that indicated he had allegedly been robbed of $800 cash and other property. “I don’t remember. I signed a lot of papers,” he said. When she asked him about medical bills from LRGHealthcare, Rivera said he gets a lot of mail but doesn’t open any of it. “Do you remember filling out a request from the state police?” she asked again, showing him a signed document. When Rivera said the signature didn’t look like his she asked him if that’s what his signature could look like if he had a bandaged hand. “Could be,” he replied. O’Neill overruled Noucas’s lawyer Andrew Winters’ objection to the question as leading and Ahern moved on. She turned to the physical evidence. She showed him two orange masks, one covered in blood, allegedly worn by Hart and Noucas, and Rivera said he didn’t remember them. He said he didn’t remember a baseball bat that
both True and Napier said they saw in their testimonies. He also said he didn’t remember a knife. When Ahern showed him folded stack of cash, he identified it as a “wad of money” but said it wasn’t his. “So you’re not missing $800?” Ahern said to a Winters’ objection. Overruled, Ahern rephrased the question and asked him if he told anyone $800 was missing or lost and Rivera responded by saying he didn’t remember and he talks a lot to his therapist. When Ahern asked him about his memory problems, Rivera told the jury that two of his brothers tell him he can’t remember anything. He also testified that he had earned his GED but that his memory issues are “not really a problem.” “Can you read and write?” asked Ahern to which he said yes. “Do you know how to get home?” she asked. Rivera replied that when he was near his Brockton home he does. During cross examination, Winters asked him if he recognized anyone in the room.
Rivera said he only recognized his lawyer, Charles Temple. “Do you remember stabbing someone?” he asked. “No,” said Rivera. “Do you remember being stabbed?” Winters asked. “No,” said Rivera. Winters had Noucas stand. “Do you recognize him?” he asked, pointing at his client. In his opening statement, Winters said that Noucas and Rivera had met, knew each other, although not well, and that Rivera was staying in Noucas’s ex-girlfriend’s house on Lake Street. Rivera said, “No I don’t.” “So you really have no idea why you’re here?” Winters asked to which Rivera said a lawyer in Brockton was mean to him and told him he missed a court date. “I wanted to see if they’d go through with it,” he said. On a redirect, Ahern asked, “Do you not remember or do you not want to remember?” “I don’t remember,” Rivera said. Noucas’s trial resumes this afternoon at 1:00 p.m.

Design obstacles facing second phase of WOW Trail may not be as daunting as originally feared By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After walking the planned route of the second phase of the Winnisquam-Opechee-Winnipesaukee (WOW) Recreational Trail, between Veteran’s Square and Belmont, with officials of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) yesterday, Diane Hanley, president of the WOW Trail Committee, was encouraged that the design and engineering challenges appear less formidable than first feared. Hanley, along with Alan Beetle, a founding member of the WOW Committee, were joined by Brian Lombard and Larry Keniston of the Rail and Transit Bureau of DOT as well as Luke Powell, assistant director of public works, Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, Eric Senecal of the Lakes Region Planning Commission, City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) and Rick Ball of the Belmont Planning Department. The second phase of the trail follows the railway corridor to the point on Court Street, opposite the St. Francis Home, where a paved and fenced foot-

path crosses the Belmont town line and leads to the Belmont town beach. The purpose of the tour was intended to identify sections of the corridor where its width and topography would not readily accommodate a paved recreational trail 12 feet from the railroad track and eight to ten feet in width. The trail path lies within the railway corridor, which is owned by the state and used by the Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, and since 2003, when it was first conceived, the DOT has prescribed stringent conditions on its design and engineering. However, Hanley said that Lombard was “receptive and encouraging” during yesterday’s tour and more eager to overcome obstacles than to raise them. There are stretches of the route where the trail would run close to private businesses and residences, one where there are two sets of rails alongside Pitman’s Freight Room, and several between Fair Street and Bayview Avenue, a private road off Court Street. In a number of places, state-owned property within the corridor, where the trail could be built, has been landscaped by adjacent property see next page
Belknap commissioners asking court to order Register of Reeds to comply with deposit directive By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Belknap County Commissioners are asking the Belknap County Superior Court to order the Register of Deeds to comply with their directive to comply with the recommendation of the independent auditor to close the registry’s accounts and deposit the taxes and fees it collects directly into the county general fund. Following a brief non-public meeting last night Ed Philpot, chairman of the commission, announced that a motion for declaratory judgement would be filed with the court on Thursday. Since July, when Melanson Heath & Company, P.C. presented its recommendations, all the other county departments have complied with them, but Luther has resisted the blandishments of Finance Director Glen Waring and County Administrator Debra Shackett. In support of their recommendation, the auditors
cited the state law delineating the duties of county treasurers (RSA 29:1), which reads “the county treasurer shall have custody of all moneys belonging to the county, and shall pay out the same only upon orders of the commissioners.” Luther, however, relies on the statute governing registers of deeds, a section of which (RSA 478:17i) stipulates that “Each register of deeds shall pay over once a month to his county treasurer, for use of the county, all fees received by him as such register and all charges paid to him for services arising out of or because of his office, including but not limited to payments for duties under RSA 78-B;8,” or the real estate transfer tax. Last month, with the patience of the commissioners wearing thin, attorneys Phil McLaughlin, representing Luther, and Paul Fitzgerald, representing the commissioners, met several times seeking without success to resolve the dispute.
Correction: Inter-Lakes Class of 2001 holding reunion on Sunday
An article about the Meredith/Inter-Lakes Alumni Association that appeared in the Wednesday, Oct. 5 edition of The Daily Sun incorrectly labeled the class holding a reunion at the Waukewan Golf Club
on October 9 as the Class of 1991. In fact, the Class of 2001 will be holding its 10th anniversary reunion on that date, from 4 to 9 p.m.
from preceding page owners, in particular beyond Bartlett Beach where the steep slope to the lake requires the trail to be built on the east side of the tracks. The WOW Committee has opened conversations with abutters. Many, especially those whose property backs on to Lake Winnisquam, are troubled by the prospect of a four-foot chain-link fence, which DOT requires between the trail and the track. Hanley was pleased to learn that when Powell asked Lombard if split-rail fencing, or some other more aesthetic barrier could be erected near private properties, he received a positive response. Fencing has long been a bone of contention between the WOW Committee and the DOT. Lombard said yesterday that he was concerned that where the trail borders the lake people would be tempted to cross the tracks to reach the shoreline. “The fence is a barrier and containment,” he said. Hanley was also glad to learn that wetlands along the route were unlikely to pose major problems. Between Bay Street and Keasor Court there appears sufficient space to route the trail on the west side of the tracks, avoiding the residences and wetlands to the east. There is a wetland area near Bartlett Beach, which Powell expected could either be tra-
versed with minimal impacts or skirted by crossing to the east side of the tracks. A ditch alongside the east side of the tracks beyond Keasor Court, Powell said, had little or no value as a wetland. Earlier Steve Smith of Steven Smith & Associates Engineers, Inc., who is a member of the WOW Committee, suggested that because of the narrowness of the corridor, presence of wetlands and proximity of businesses and residences, the cost of the second phase of the project could reach $1-million. After walking the route Powell declined to offer an estimate, but said that apart from a footbridge over Durkee Brook at the south end of Bartlett Beach, the route did not appear to require major structural work, like the retaining walls at Moulton Street on the first phase. Although pleased by the DOT’s approach to the route, Hanley indicated that the committee would continue to press the agency to lift or relax its requirement for fencing along the length of the trail as well as to renew its pursuit of legislation to indemnify railroad operators from liability. Senecal noted that trails within active railway corridors “work without fences or barriers all over the world” while Charles Martin of the New Hampshire Rail Trail Coalition warned that “liability is killing this whole trail concept.”

BULLYING from page one same way. I’m emotionally messed up and people just make fun of me,” said one student, who ran from the high school auditorium after speaking but was later prevailed upon by friends to return. Another described how he had been picked on because of the perception that he was gay and how he had been punched by one of those bullying him in front of other students, none of whom spoke up on his behalf. “I was called a faggot and got death threats daily. I even tried to commit suicide. But now I see people getting together and going the extra mile to stop the bullying and it gives me hope,” said the student. Another described how fellow students had made fun of her 21-year-old cousin, who graduated last year from Laconia High School and is mentally retarded. “People picked on her all the time and no one did anything about it. I told the kids that it was pathetic that they got their kicks out of picking on (her),” she said. Another student, who was a senior, said that she had left school for half of one semester because of the bullying and harassment she had experienced, including $1,300 of damage done to her car, including having a window kicked in, and being told by other students that she would “better off if I killed myself.” One student said that she had experienced first hand the negative affects of bullying when a cousin who had been bullied later committed suicide. She said that those who had done the bullying laughed about the death after they heard about it, which she said shows what totally sick people bullies really are. Not all of the students have remained silent when they witness bullying. Drew Prag, one of the founders of a group called Freedom Found, said that he had confronted other students at a homecoming bonfire who were excluding a special needs student from a game of catch by asking his fellow students if they felt like more of a man by picking on him. Other students said they had witnessed bullying but hadn’t responded and felt that the meeting helped them to better understand how to respond. The students spoke at an afternoon session of a two-day long series of programs on tolerance and inclusion which the Laconia School District and the Laconia Human Relations Committee had arranged for in conjunction with the Southern Poverty Law Center as part of a community wide approach to issues of intolerance and hate.

day at LHS for freshmen, sophomores and juniors with a mix-it-up lunch event at which students were encouraged to sit with students other than those they usually eat with. Raige Hollis, a captain of the high school football team, was among those who were encouraging fellow students to reach out and be more inclusive. He said he had spoken with other football players “trying to convince them that it’s a good thing to get out of their comfort zone and include other people.” But for many the mix-it-up lunch was not that popular. A show of hands at the special presentation for juniors following lunch showed only a few hands raised when students were asked if they had liked it.
Brooks said that the students will get to like them better as time goes along and that forging new and inclusive relationships with their own peers will be seen as important part of their educational experience. She also praised the courage shown by the students who had been willing to share their stories about being bullied at the session and said that they were discovering that there are other students ready to be helpful and supportive for them. Prag said that there about 20 students who attend the Friday afternoon sessions of Freedom Found in the high school guidance office and that students who are experiencing problems are welcome to join with them for support and understanding.

Only Exxon Mobil, which makes it money extracting and refining oil instead of ideas, is worth more. Cultivating Apple’s countercultural sensibility and a minimalist design ethic, Jobs rolled out one sensational product after another, even in the face of
the late-2000s recession and his own failing health. He helped change computers from a geeky hobbyist’s obsession to a necessity of modern life at work and home, and in the process he upended not just personal technology but the cellphone and music industries.

Sarah Palin says she will not run for president
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said Wednesday she will not run for president, leaving little doubt that the eventual Republican nominee will come from the current field of contenders. After months of leaving her fans guessing, Palin said in a statement that she and her husband Todd “devote ourselves to God, family and country.” She said her decision maintains that order. Palin sent the statement to supporters. She told conservative radio host Mark Levin that she would not consider a third party candidacy because it would assure President Barack Obama’s reelection. In a video posted on YouTube, Palin said, “you don’t need an office or a title to make a difference.” Sen. John McCain plucked Palin from relative obscurity in 2008 by naming her as his running mate. She electrified Republican activists for a while, delivering a well-received speech at the GOP national convention. But Palin later seemed overwhelmed by the national spotlight, faltering at times in televised interviews even when asked straightforward questions. Palin’s announcement Wednesday was much
anticipated but not greatly surprising. Her popularity had plummeted in polls lately, even though she remained a darling to many hard-core conservatives. Some Republicans felt she waited and teased too long about a presidential candidacy. Some remained perplexed by her decision to quit her job as governor with more than a year left in her single term. Palin also angered some Americans with a defensive speech shortly after a Democratic congresswoman was gravely wounded in an Arizona shooting in January that killed six people. Palin’s announcement came one day after New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he would not run. Republican insiders say the field is set. It includes former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Texas Gov. Rick Perry, whom party insiders see as the strongest contenders. Libertarian-leaning Rep. Ron Paul of Texas continues to draw a devoted following and former pizza company executive Herman Cain has gained in recent polls. Voting in the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary will start in about three months.
from preceding page Walt Disney that left an indelible imprint on the world. Jobs died as Walt Disney Co.’s largest shareholder, a by-product of his decision to sell computer animation studio Pixar in 2006. Perhaps most influentially, Jobs in 2001 launched the iPod, which offered “1,000 songs in your pocket.” Over the next 10 years, its white earphones and thumb-dial control seemed to become more ubiquitous than the wristwatch. In 2007 came the touch-screen iPhone, joined a year later by Apple’s App Store, where developers could sell iPhone “apps” which made the phone a device not just for making calls but also for managing money, editing photos, playing games and social networking. And in 2010, Jobs introduced the iPad, a tablet-sized, alltouch computer that took off even though market analysts said no one really needed one. Steven Paul Jobs was born Feb. 24, 1955, to Joanne Simpson, then an unmarried graduate student, and Abdulfattah Jandali, a student from Syria. Simpson gave Jobs up for adoption, though she married Jandali and a few years later had a second child with him, Mona Simpson, who became a novelist. Steven was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs of Los Altos, Calif., a working-class couple who nurtured
his early interest in electronics. He saw his first computer terminal at NASA’s Ames Research Center when he was around 11 and landed a summer job at Hewlett-Packard before he had finished high school. Jobs enrolled in Reed College in Portland, Ore., in 1972 but dropped out after a semester. “All of my working-class parents’ savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn’t see the value in it,” he said at a Stanford University commencement address in 2005. “I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out.” When he returned to California in 1974, Jobs worked for video game maker Atari and attended meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club with Steve Wozniak, a high school friend who was a few years older. Wozniak’s homemade computer drew attention from other enthusiasts, but Jobs saw its potential far beyond the geeky hobbyists of the time. The pair started Apple in Jobs’ parents’ garage in 1976. Their first creation was the Apple I — essentially, the guts of a computer without a case, keyboard or monitor. The Apple II, which hit the market in 1977, was their first machine for the masses. It became so popular that Jobs was worth $100 million by age 25. Time magazine put him on its cover for the first time in 1982.

LACONIA — Belknap County Attorney Melissa Gulbrandsen told the county commissioners last night that she will request that Benjamin LeDuc, the part-time juvenile prosecutor, become a full-time employee beginning in 2012. The part-time position was created with the intention of sparing municipal police departments the responsibility of prosecuting juvenile cases. Gulbrandsen said that LeDuc has met with municipal and law enforcement officials in the various municipalities and, while received warmly, has yet
to make formal arrangements with any of them. However, she suggested that with the retirement of Chris Cost, who served as prosecutor for the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department, LeDuc could assume his responsibilities. Ed Philpot, chairman of the commission, remarked that “we’ve invited the towns to participate and if they chose not to participate, we have to reassess.” Gulbrandsen repeated that she intended to include funding for a full-time position in her 2012 budget request. — Michael Kitch

BELMONT — Five people, two drivers and three passengers, were injured and Route 106 was closed to traffic for more than an hour when two cars collided at the junction with Leavitt Road shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The accident was originally reported in The Daily Sun on Wednesday but more detail was made available by the Police Department later in the day. The collision occurred as John Vallo, 17, of 35 Garfield Street, Laconia, approached the intersection from the south in a 2010 Chevrolet HHR and was struck on the right front end by a 1992 Honda Prelude driven by Samuel Millinghaus, 38, of Shaker Road, Belmont coming on to the highway from Leavitt Road. Vallo’s car was driven across the road into a utility pole.
One witness suggested that another vehicle traveling northbound in the breakdown lane of Route 106 and making a right turn on to Leavitt Road may have obscured Millinghaus’s view as he turned on to the highway into the path of oncoming traffic. Vallo and his two passengers together with Millinghaus and his passenger were transported to Lakes Region General Hospital by ambulances from the Belmont and Laconia fire departments. Their injuries were described as not life threatening. Police Chief Vinnie Baiocchetti said that the accident remains under investigation and urged anyone with information about it to contact Officer Eliza Gustafson of the Belmont Police Department at 267-8351. — Michael Kitch

hole beans at Methodist Church’s 40th Annual Harvest Supper
GILFORD — The 40th annual harvest supper at the First United Methodist Church will be held on Saturday, October 15 with two seatings, one at 5 p.m. and the second at 6:30 p.m. The meal features a full New England boiled dinner with corned beef, cabbage, carrots and potatoes as well as the very traditional dish of two kinds of bean hole beans cooked in large underground wells behind the church. The members of the church have been putting this meal on for 40 years and use the proceeds of the event to fund church activities for the year to follow. It takes a crew of over 50 people to pull off the meal for 300 diners each year. Two days before the supper, 60 pounds of dry beans are cleaned, sorted and soaked in preparation for the 24 hour cooking process in the hot wells just outside the kitchen of the church. The beans are covered with a secret sauce handed down to bean cook Jessica Alward by her dad. Mac Keysar has been in charge of the bean preparations since learning the secrets from Verna and Royal Smith decades ago . Six strong guys gather at the church on Friday afternoon at 5 p.m. to help lower the huge cast iron kettles into the ground, bury them with a layer of sand and pray that all goes well! “Several years ago after some major construction occurred on the hill behind the bean holes we began to notice that the holes weren’t as dry as they used to be. One time they even filled with water during our cooking process. There were no beans that year and the trustees of the church have been working hard to make sure that doesn’t happen again” Alward says. This past summer a new drainage system was put in place to dry out the area around the bean holes. A few days before the supper the ladies (and a few men) of the church start baking pumpkin and apple pies for dessert, peeling 100 pounds of potatoes and 150 pounds of carrots to boil up with the corned beef and cabbage on the afternoon of the dinner. The dining room is decorated with fall colors and waiters and waitresses gather to set the tables. This annual tradition is a favorite among church dinner fans and sells out very quickly. Call Sharon and Dick Walden at 528-6485 to reserve tickets.

Poet Marilyn Nelson at PSU Oct. 13 PLYMOUTH — The Eagle Pond Authors’ Series at Plymouth State University will present former Connecticut poet laureate Marilyn Nelson at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Silver Center for the Arts. New Hampshire poet Donald Hall will introduce Nelson. Marilyn Nelson is a three-time finalist for the National Book Award and an accomplished poet, children’s verse author and translator. She has won two Pushcart Prizes, two Yaddo residencies and fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation. She is professor emeritus of English at the University of Connecticut at Storrs, and was Connecticut poet laureate from 2001 to 2006. The Poetry Foundation reported
that three of Nelson’s collections have been finalists for the National Book Award: The Homeplace, The Fields of Praise: New and Selected Poems and Carver: a Life in Poems. The Homeplace is a family history that begins when Nelson’s great-great-grandmother was sold into slavery. Christian Wiman says, “The sheer range of Nelson’s voice is one of the book’s greatest strengths, varying not only from poem to poem, but within individual poems as well.” Suzanne Gardinier wrote in Parnassus that Nelson’s poetry “reaches back through generations hemmed in on all sides by slavery and its antecedents; all along the way she finds sweetness and humor, and more complicated truth than its disguises have revealed.”

K
iki arrived at New Hampshire Humane Society, in May, with her brother, Wolfy. He was luckily adopted in August – but Kiki has yet to find a family to love her. She too is an Elkhound, well suited actually to life in New Hampshire where we really only enjoy two weeks of summer. With her thick lush coat, Miss Kiki is poised to enjoy the best season in New England:- Autumn. A little back information, Elkhounds originate from Scandinavia. Kiki’s ancestors assisted in the hunting and guarding of their Viking owners – Kiki will be a dedicated pet once settled with a new, committed, human pack. She is so sad without the presence of her brother-dog. Some days she just doesn’t want to leave her kennel, it’s only with gentle, patient coaxing that she will get up and walk outside with volunteers who spend quality time brushing her beautiful, luxuriant coat, cuddling her, and taking her to nursing homes, where in spite of
her own sadness, she brings joy to the elderly. Already housetrained, and possessing basic canine manners, she would love to be the focus of adult human attention especially given she has had little experience with children, or other dogs. Adopt Kiki during the October
Adopt a Shelter dog initiative and receive substantial savings on her adoption fee, just $150, inclusive of everything! Shelter is open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Closed to the public: Sundays, Mondays and Wednesdays. check www.nhhumane.org for details.

Pooch Café LOLA
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There’s a fine line between being assertive and being pushy. You are aware that an over-demanding attitude will keep opportunities at bay. Therefore, you carefully choose your top needs and ask for them sweetly. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Though hearing a loved one extol your virtues would be a pleasure indeed, you would prefer to see love demonstrated. The one who makes your life easier is the one who really loves you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). New ideas are difficult to put across. Everyone is a skeptic. You have to work extra hard to bring in familiar elements, so as not to frighten your audience away. Ultimately, your showmanship will sell it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Love at first sight doesn’t apply only to people. You’ll experience the phenomenon today. You’ll know the moment you lay eyes on the prize that you simply have to have it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Congratulatory talk is in order, and it will come from you and also be directed at you. You are an essential part of a team that is by all accounts winning today. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 6). Travel and education give you a sense of expansion that you’ll carry into relationships. Your generosity of spirit will attract both kindred souls and those who could use your help. There’s a fortuitous deal in November and another in May. December favors a change in personal policy and/or politics. February brings a move. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 33, 19 and 22.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). It seems unfair that someone so easily accomplishes the very thing that you struggle incessantly to do. The fairness of it doesn’t change the situation. Forget about the others, and work with what you have. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It doesn’t matter where you are in the giving circle; helping and being helped are part of the same energy. There’s no shame in giving or in receiving, in having or in having not. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will clear out some old, stale atmosphere. This probably has to do with getting rid of papers and email messages you don’t need or ridding yourself of other clutter to invite in new energy. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are where you are. It’s a good place, once you stop wishing you were somewhere else. That is the tricky part, however. “Over there” looks so appealing now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The names of all the people who have wronged you, and there have been many, are etched on a secret list kept in the back of your mind. You’ll let it go one of these days, but right now there’s still something to learn from the memory. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be an influential talker. You’ll hold a spirited parley while bringing your wares to the good people who can appreciate them. You’ll end the day richer than you were when you started. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You win by dogged persistence. Yet you make this look somehow graceful -- you don’t even sweat. Perseverance gains you what others miss by giving up too soon.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, October 6, 2011— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 6, the 279th day of 2011. There are 86 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 6, 1981, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was shot to death by extremists while reviewing a military parade. On this date: In 1536, English theologian and scholar William Tyndale, who was the first to translate the Bible into Early Modern English, was executed for heresy. In 1683, thirteen families from Krefeld, Germany, arrived in Philadelphia to begin Germantown, one of America’s oldest settlements. In 1884, the Naval War College was established in Newport, R.I. In 1927, the era of talking pictures arrived with the opening of “The Jazz Singer,” starring Al Jolson. In 1939, as remaining military resistance in Poland crumbled, Adolf Hitler delivered a speech to the Reichstag blaming the Poles for the Nazi-Soviet invasion of their country. In 1949, U.S.-born Iva Toguri D’Aquino, convicted of treason for being Japanese wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was sentenced in San Francisco to 10 years in prison (she ended up serving more than six). In 1958, the nuclear submarine USS Seawolf surfaced after spending 60 days submerged. In 1973, war erupted in the Middle East as Egypt and Syria attacked Israel during the Yom Kippur holiday. In 1979, Pope John Paul II, on a weeklong U.S. tour, became the first pontiff to visit the White House, where he was received by President Jimmy Carter. In 1989, actress Bette Davis died in Neuilly-sur-Seine (nu-yee-sur-sehn), France, at age 81. One year ago: A presidential investigating commission said the Obama administration had blocked efforts by government scientists to tell the American public just how bad the Gulf oil spill could become and committed other missteps that raised questions about its competence and candor during the crisis. Today’s Birthdays: Broadcaster and writer Melvyn Bragg is 72. Actress Britt Ekland is 69. Singer Millie Small is 65. Singer-musician Thomas McClary is 62. CBS chief executive officer Les Moonves is 62. Rock singer Kevin Cronin is 60. Rock singer-musician David Hidalgo is 57. Actress Elisabeth Shue is 48. Singer Matthew Sweet is 47. Actress Jacqueline Obradors is 45. Country singer Tim Rushlow is 45. Rock musician Tommy Stinson is 45. Actress Amy Jo Johnson is 41. Actress Emily Mortimer is 40. Actor Lamman Rucker is 40. Actor Ioan Gruffudd is 38. Actor Jeremy Sisto is 37. Rhythm-and-blues singer Melinda Doolittle is 34. Actor Wes Ramsey is 34.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My mother-in-law, “Joan,” lives nearby. Since the birth of our son three years ago, she has not once offered to babysit or have him sleep over. She never asks to spend time alone with him. When I’ve suggested it, she tells me how tired she is, and yet she runs around with her friends all day. On those rare occasions when we absolutely are desperate for her to babysit, we practically have to beg, and it’s only for things like doctors appointments. She would never babysit so my husband and I could go out for an evening. However, Joan wants to go everywhere with us. She thinks that qualifies as spending time with her grandson. She also says she wants to be there for his first vacation, first movie, first day at school, etc., which makes us feel as if our son can’t achieve any milestones without her. I have dropped hints that my husband and I could use a night alone, and I’ve mentioned how other grandparents enjoy having their grandchildren over, but she never responds. I know she is comfortable around children because she used to be a preschool administrator. In addition, if we all go out together and our son acts out, Joan just sits there. Apparently, Joan wants to be there for the fun, but not the other stuff. My mother and my friends think Joan’s attitude is strange. They say grandparents normally take the kids out to give the parents a break. I am sick of asking her to watch our son when we are in a bind. Am I being selfish, or is she not being much of a grandma? -- Beleaguered Mom Dear Mom: Both. You may not like it, but grandparents are not obligated to take care of your children because you want a night out. And after being a preschool administrator, we suspect Joan has had enough of watching little kids and correcting their behavior. That is the parents’ job. Of course, it would be nice if Joan took a greater interest in spending time with your son, and she may be more inclined when he
is a little older, requires less supervision and they can communicate better. But if you want a good relationship with her, please take babysitting services off the table. Dear Annie: I am amazed at how you continue to cater to cheating husbands. Every time a woman writes that she suspects her partner is cheating, you always take the guy’s side and suggest counseling, even when the woman says he won’t go. These slimeballs exist, and yet you defend them. Please explain to the wives out there why you continue to take the man’s side. -- Voice of Many Betrayed Wives Dear Voice: You misunderstand. We are not defending the cheating spouse, male or female. We are defending the marriage. One should not walk away without making an attempt to see if the problems can be fixed, particularly if there are young children involved. And if the husband refuses counseling, the wife should go anyway because she will need help making decisions about her future and working through her anger and resentment -- something, apparently, you have not yet done. Please consider it. Dear Annie: One of the things you suggested to “Lonesome” was to join the Peace Corps as a senior volunteer. As a returned Peace Corps volunteer, occasional recruiter and fulltime advocate, I like to see Peace Corps service suggested. But people should be aware that it’s not like going on a cruise. Those who serve should expect about a year of application and preparation, three months of training and two years of service. There is no upper age limit, and there certainly are rewards. -- Glad To Have Been There and Done That Dear Glad: Thanks for making it clear to our readers that the Peace Corps requires a true commitment. Those who are interested can get more information through peacecorps.gov.

FRANKLIN — The Fourth Annual Friends of NRA Dinner and fundraiser at the Franklin Elks on Saturday, September 27 brought a sellout crowd and raised over $6,000 for the NRA Foundation. The attendees were honored with the presence of Wayne LaPierre, the executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, who spoke on the importance of the foundation in supporting shooting and firearms safety programs by offering grants to qualifying individuals and groups. Also in attendance and lending their experience to help make the event a success were Richard D’Alauro, East Coast field staff specialist for the NRA and Brian Hyder, Eastern Regional director. A big thanks to them for all they did to help out! In New Hampshire over a third of a million dollars has been granted for such programs, including $62,500 to the Pemi Fish and Game Club in Holderness. The Franklin fundraiser was hosted by committee chairman Fred Allen, immediate past president of the Pemi Fish and Game Club.
