Local survivor touts importance of digital scans in early detection of breast cancer By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — On a June day last year, the first day of her son’s summer vacation, Betsy Chapin went in for her annual mammogram. Though breast cancer runs in her family – her mother died of the disease when Betsy was 17 – she wasn’t experiencing any symptoms and didn’t expect the exam would be the beginning of a nine month journey filled with anxiety, treatment, support and rejuvenation. Chapin, a Gilford resident, mother of three boys and spouse of an endocrinologist, received her care at Lakes Region General Hospital. In recognition of October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, LRGHealthcare organized a press conference with Chapin on Thursday to underline the importance of digital mammography and the care network’s see SCaNS page 12

Sallies testifies she drove boyfriend & Noucas to Meredith to ‘scare kid out of his money & drugs’ By gAil oBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — County prosecutors continued yesterday to build their case against a a former Meredith man who is charged in the failed armed robbery attempt in which an alleged co-conspirator was stabbed to death. The jury first heard from Julie Sallies — a former Laconia woman who pleaded

guilty in December of 2010 to her role in the June 6, 2010 robbery at 16 Lake St. She said yesterday it was defendant Michael Noucas who came to her home on 233 South Main St. in Laconia on June 5 with the idea of robbing David Rivera, who was staying at the Meredith address, of both cocaine and money. Sallies testimony as to where she met up

with Noucas was directly contradicted by Gina Provost, a former Meredith resident who said Sallies and her late fiancee Robert Hart came to her home on Garfield Street in Laconia and picked up Noucas and his friend, Dawn Dragon in her maroon car. Provost is the mother of Patrick McIntire who is on the prosecution’s witness list. see TriaL page 10

FBI says 3-year-old witnessed triple slaying in Montana

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A 3-year-old child witnessed the killing of three people in a remote area of Montana’s Crow Indian Reservation and named a family member as the shooter, according to an FBI affidavit. Sheldon Bernard Chase, 22, was captured in Washington state Wednesday after a multi-state manhunt and made an initial appearance before a judge Thursday. He’s accused of killing his grandmother, cousin and cousin’s boyfriend at their rural home on Tuesday. Dressed in a yellow jumpsuit and wearing leg shackles, Chase gave yes and no answers to a series of questions from U.S. Magistrate Cynthia Imbrogno on Thursday, and asked to be returned to Montana as soon as possible. The violence inside a prominent Crow family known for its adherence to traditional tribal values has roiled the reservation south of Billings. An FBI affidavit filed in the criminal complaint against see MONTANA page 9

30-year mortgage rates below 4% for first time ever WASHINGTON (AP) — The average rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen below 4 percent for the first time in history. For the lucky few with good jobs and stable finances, it’s a rare opportunity to save potentially thousands of dollars each year. For most people, it’s a tease and a reminder of how weak their own financial situation is. On Thursday, Freddie Mac said the rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 3.94

percent from 4.01 percent last week, the previous low. The average rate on a 15-year fixed loan, a popular refinancing option, dipped to 3.26 percent, also a record. Mortgage rates are now lower than they were in the early 1950s. The average rate reached 4.08 percent for a few months back then, according to the National Bureau of Economic Research. Although mortgages at that time typically lasted only 20 or 25 years. Super low rates haven’t been enough to

lift the housing market, which has struggled in recent years with anemic sales and declining home prices. Rates have been below 5 percent for all but two weeks in the past year. Yet sales of previously occupied homes this year are on track to be among the worst in 14 years. And homeownership has dropped over the past decade by the greatest amount since the Great Depression, according to 2010 see next page

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Thursday the U.S. must not surrender development of clean energy to China and other countries, despite the spectacular failure of a solarpanel manufacturer that filed for bankruptcy after taking a half-billion dollar government loan. Obama said the government should continue to give loan guarantees to help green energy companies compete with other countries that spend billions to subsidize

solar panels and other renewable energy manufacturing. Solyndra, the California company that collapsed last month, blamed its demise partly on Chinese imports. Fighting back against GOP criticism of a $528 million loan to Solyndra, Obama said he strongly disagreed with a Republican congressman who said the U.S. “can’t compete with China” to make solar panels or wind turbines. “Well, you know what? I don’t buy that,’ Obama said at a White House news confer-

ence. “I’m not going to surrender to other countries technological leads that could end up determining whether or not we’re building a strong middle class in this country. And so ... we’re going to have to keep on pushing hard to make sure that manufacturing’s located here, new businesses are located here and new technologies are developed here.” Hours after Obama’s upbeat remarks, the head of the Energy Department’s see SOLAR page 14

(AP) — Steve Jobs was mourned around the world Thursday through the very devices he conceived: People held up pictures of candles on their iPads, reviewed his life on Macintosh computers and tapped out tributes on iPhones. One day after his death, two days after Apple introduced the latest incarnation of

a touch-screen phone that touched pop culture, sadness and admiration poured out — not for a rock star, not for a religious figure, but for an American corporate executive. “He was a genius,” Rosario Hidalgo said outside an Apple Store on the Upper West Side of Manhattan while her daughter, 21-month-old Carlotta, used an iPhone to

play an app that teaches children to match animal sounds to animal pictures. By people who have grown up in a world where iPod headphones are as ubiquitous as wristwatches were to a previous generation, Jobs was remembered as their Elvis Presley or John Lennon. Perhaps even see JOBS page 13

Series of fortunate events Fall N.H. bus tour business said to be off 15% save life of German hiking the White Mountains

CONCORD (AP) — Officials say a German hiker in New Hampshire’s White Mountains owes his life to a series of fortunate events. Robert Obermeier (o-ber-MY-err) of Munich, Germany was hiking with his wife on the Sabbaday Falls Trail in Waterville Valley Thursday when he collapsed and stopped breathing about a quartermile from the trailhead. Within minutes two German doctors hiking the same trail came upon the fallen hiker and immediately began CPR. Other hikers racing for help spotted a school bus and driver waiting in the parking lot. Fish and Game officials say the driver used her bus radio to call for help in an area notorious for bad cell phone reception — saving critical minutes. Obermeier was airlifted from Conway Memorial Hospital to Maine Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire tourism officials expect lots of visiting leaf-peepers and lots of people spending money during the upcoming Columbus Day weekend. But at least one part of the industry has taken a bit of hit this fall: bus tours. Some tour operators believe the drop is due to a perception that roads are still damaged from Tropical Storm Irene. The roads have been repaired. Jayne O’Connor, president of White Mountains Attractions, a marketing association for the White Mountains region, said a 15 percent drop in tour bus business started as early as July, during the Congressional standoff over increasing the nation’s borrowing limit and the possibility the government would run out of money. Many people who board the usual 3,000 buses on fall foliage tours through the White Mountains are retired and on fixed incomes. They make their plans in advance, O’Connor said. “When they could not decide in Washington what to do, those people were not confident that their (Social Security) checks were going to be coming in the mail and were not confident enough to make their travel plans,” she said. “We really noticed that, and I heard from least one of the tour operators in the state who said, ‘My phone has just stopped ringing.’” O’Connor said the chalkboard at the White Mountains Visitor Center, where tourists can write where they’re from, recently showed that about 80 percent of the visitors were from other countries, and 20 percent domestic; in the past, it’s been the other way around.

from preceding page census data released Thursday. “Considering how far mortgage rates have fallen, we’d expect to see more people refinancing and buying,” said Celia Chen, director of housing economics at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s still the lack of jobs and the difficult credit environment that’s pushing most people away.” For many Americans, buying a house is too big a risk in this economy. Unemployment is above 9 percent, raises are scarce and millions of foreclosures are forcing down home prices. Others can’t qualify for the historically low rates. Banks are insisting on higher credit scores. And many want first-time buyers to put down 20 percent. Few people have that much cash or home equity to satisfy the requirement. “There’s a huge pile of applications we’re rejecting because of low credit scores. It’s been that way for years,” said John Stearns, a senior mortgage banker at American Fidelity Mortgage outside of Milwaukee. Total mortgage applications fell more than 4 percent this week from the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Refinancing applications declined more than 5 percent. Mike Anderson, a mortgage broker in Baton Rouge, La., said weeks of low rates haven’t changed the obstacles preventing people from getting loans. Most are either without a job, have bad credit or are have negative home equity. Any one of those is a deal-breaker. “Same new lows, same problems,” Anderson said. 800-442-6666 “You can get people with northwaybank.com 800 credit scores that you have to turn away.”

Mel Tye of Tye’s Top Tour & Travel in Merrimack said 11 motorcoach trips to view foliage in New Hampshire and Vermont have been canceled during the last two weeks, but he attributes that to concerns over Tropical Storm Irene. “A lot of the people in the Midwest still believe that all the bridges in Vermont and New Hampshire are out and are impassable, no matter what we tell them,” he said. Still, New Hampshire estimates 610,000 visitors will come from out of state during the three-day holiday weekend, slightly higher than last year. They are expected to spend $85 million. Many inns and resorts are reporting a strong showing. In Vermont, which also usually sees a lot of motorcoach traffic during the fall, tourism officials are focused on working to get the word out that major routes are open and accessible and that the weather forecast for Columbus Day weekend is sunny and warm. The storm also didn’t affect the foliage. The state generally sees about $331 million spent during foliage season; that makes up about 23 percent of annual tourism spending, said Steve Cook, the state’s deputy commissioner of travel. “Some parts of the state are expecting to have a very strong upcoming weekend; other parts of the state are concerned,” Cook said. “Southern Vermont is the part of the state that we’re particularly watching closely. There are a number of properties that were not in impacted areas from the tropical storm that have not seen the typical occupancies that they see this time of year — obviously a concern to us.”

Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson and his ﬁance, Kate Prusack, stopped brieﬂy in Stewart Park in downtown Laconia on Thursday evening. Johnson is seeking the Republican presidential nomination and the triathlete is riding his bike around the state campaigning. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

Former N.M governor Gary Johnson far ahead of the GOP pack when it comes to athleticism LACONIA — As shadows crept across Stewart Park late yesterday afternoon, Gary Johnson, accompanied by his fiance Kate Prusack and son Erik, finished the second leg of a cycling tour covering 458 miles and visiting 25 Granite State towns during four days in his quest for the Republican presidential nomination. Johnson, who traveled to 38 states before becoming the the first candidate to enter the race in April, was stumping New Hampshire for the 17th time in the last 18 months. Yet, just two people, one a Democrat, were there to greet him. The Democrat, Mo Baxley, executive director of the New Hampshire Freedom To Marry Coalition and a candidate for the House of Representatives in 2010, said she came because, of all the GOP hopefuls, Johnson’s brand of fiscal conservatism and

social liberalism most closely matched the profile of the traditional New Hampshire Republican. Yet despite a resume that matches or betters those of his rivals, Johnson is the forgotten candidate in a field that leaves GOP voters yearning for a newcomer. Twice elected governor of New Mexico, where Democrats outnumber Republicans, by a 10-percent margin, he is the only governor in the field to serve two terms and the only candidate in the field to win two statewide elections. With Democrats holding two-to-one majorities in the Legislature, Johnson veto-trimmed the budget 10-percent in his first term, but raised funding for education by a third. During his tenure he vetoed 750 bills, more than all his 49 counterparts put together, and was overridden just twice.”I was an equal opporsee next page

Virginia woman convicted of throwing her toddler granddaughter to her death FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A Virginia grandmother was convicted Thursday of first-degree murder and sentenced to 35 years in prison for tossing her 2-year-old granddaughter from a pedestrian bridge at a shopping mall. Carmela dela Rosa threw Angelyn Ogdoc off a 45-foot-high skywalk like a “piece of trash” at Tysons Corner Center, the state’s largest mall, prosecutors said. It happened last November amid the busy holiday shopping season. Dela Rosa was upset that her sonin-law had gotten her daughter pregnant out of wedlock, prosecutors said. The couple married shortly before Angelyn was born. “She was an angry, jealous and spiteful woman,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh said. “There is no victim more innocent than a child, unable to defend herself.” The jury rejected the woman’s insanity defense, finding her guilty after a two-week trial and more than five hours of deliberations. She faced a minimum sentence of 20 years and a

maximum of life. Under Virginia law, the judge can lower the sentence, but cannot increase it. In opting for a first-degree murder conviction, the jury concluded dela Rosa’s actions were premeditated. During the trial, jurors saw a videotaped confession dela Rosa gave to detectives in which she admitted she thought about throwing Angelyn off the bridge while she was inside the mall, several minutes before she actually did it. Dela Rosa’s attorneys claimed she did not know right from wrong and had been suffering from severe depression. They said it was so bad in the months before Angelyn’s death that she tried several times to commit suicide. Dela Rosa stared forward blankly as the verdict was read, as she did for most of the trial. While asking for a minimum sentence, public defender Dawn Butorac told jurors that despite dela Rosa’s flat demeanor “she does feel extremely remorseful.”

said, are based on the candidates’ showings in the polls, claiming that while his numbers are low he has matched or topped Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and John Huntsman, all regulars on the stage. Recently Johnson has run ahead of Huntsman, who has posed for “Vogue,” appeared on magazine covers and spent millions of his own promoting his candidacy. When Johnson debated last month in Orlando, he snared four minutes of airtime, but caught the spotlight by remarking “my next-door neighbor’s two dogs have created more shovel ready jobs than this current administration.” But, by morning he was charged with filching the line from Rush Limbaugh. He will likely again be the skunk not invited to the garden party when Dartmouth College hosts the debate sponsored by Bloomberg and the Washington Post next week. Johnson fared better in Laconia where he was the guest on the Tom Brown Show earlier this week, which airs on WESZ—AM radio at midnight. “I’m not a social conservative,” Johnson offered by way of explanation. “I respect the social conservatives, but I’m not.” When he declared himself pro-choice in the first debate in May, he was roundly booed and many dismiss him as “the pot guy” for advocating the legalization of marijuana, which he openly admits to have smoked and distinguishes from alcohol as “safer.” In August, when his opponents leaped to sign the “Family Leader’s Marriage Vow” pledge, Johnson took to YouTube to declare “in one concise document they manage to condemn gays, single parents, single individuals, divorcees, Muslims, gays in the military, unmarried couples, women who choose to have abortions, and everyone else who doesn’t fit into a Norman Rockwell painting.” Early this morning Johnson left Stewart Park on a 66-mile ride to Peterborough, where he expects to arrive at noon. On two wheels he is way ahead of the pack.

tunity vetoer,” he remarked. “A third of the bills I vetoed were sponsored by Republicans.” Johnson said that there were no tax increases on his watch and he shrank the state payroll by 1,200 employees. For Johnson ‘is this something government should be doing” is the litmus test of legislation. He signed legislation raising the highway speed limit to 75 miles per hour and permitting the sale of beer on Sundays. When littering fouled the highways, Johnson staged a bicycle race across the state, leading a pack of riders who collected the trash. “I found no common ground with Democrats,” Johnson said, “but as governor I ran the government. I controlled the executive branch and all the state agencies.” He said that he used his authority to make appointments and introduce procedures that enhanced the efficiency of government and, perhaps more importantly, the relationship between the government and the public. And in an age of buff bodies and risk takers Johnson is without peer among the candidates. He is a five-time Ironman triathlete who has crossed the Alps on a bicycle and climbed four of the seven highest peaks on the seven continents, including Mount Everest. “From the right angle,” Lisa Depaulo wrote in GQ, “he looks like Harrison Ford.” But, Johnson has appeared in only two of the eight televised debates between the GOP candidates. the first on May 5 and the second on September 21. After performing well in the first debate, CNN snubbed him in the second while extending invitations to Sarah Palin, who was not a candidate, as well as Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee, who both declared they were not in the running. I really thought the process was fair,” he said, likening the revelation of his repeated exclusion to when he learned there was no Santa Claus. “I thought there goes the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy too,” he recalled. Invitations to the debates, Johnson

Chris Christie in his press conference Tuesday announcing he would not reverse his decision not to run for president, is something you can’t be taught or learn. “Leadership today in America has to be about doing the big things and being courageous.” No one doubts that Christie has shown this kind of leadership in New Jersey. Call him bombastic, call him confrontational, but don’t call him wobbly. He leads, and even with a Democratic-majority legislature, the state is moving in his direction. Things are different on the national level. On the day before Christie spoke in Trenton, the Obama White House officially delivered the Free Trade Agreements with South Korea, Colombia and Panama to Congress for approval. That was the 986th day that Barack Obama has been president. He could have sent them 985 days earlier; negotiations were completed in 2006 and 2007. Or, if he were concerned they’d be deep-sixed when his fellow Democrats controlled Congress, he could have sent them 274 days earlier when Republicans took over the House. To be sure, they are opposed by many labor union leaders and congressional Democrats. There is a nostalgia among many union and party old-timers for the days, more than 30 years distant, when the auto and steel workers’ unions had nearly 2-million members. Now each has less than half a million. But the old-timers seem to feel that somehow something like those olden days can be brought back if they oppose FTAs. Any responsible president has to take a different view. The free trade agreements in question dismantle mostly barriers to U.S. exporters. Barriers to imports into the U.S. are either already low or nonexistent. And these are serious markets: South Korea has the 11th or 12th largest economy in the world; Colombia is the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world; Panama has had vigorous economic growth and is widening the Panama Canal to allow Pacific container ships into Gulf and Atlantic ports. Democratic presidents used to lead on trade. John Kennedy’s major domestic initiative in his first two years was a trade expansion act. Most Democrats voted for it, and most Republicans against, with disabling amendments offered by Sen. Prescott Bush, father and grandfather of future presidents.

Bill Clinton took the lead on trade, too. He strongly backed the North American Free Trade Agreement — an initiative of Mexican border state politicians like Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and Lloyd Bentsen — and pushed it through both houses of a Democratic Congress. Obama chose a different course. He has held back on the free trade agreements and has put pressure on the other treaty partners to make further concessions. This propitiated his union allies and their Democratic sympathizers for a time. But his State of the Union message call for doubling U.S. exports made it obvious that he would have to get Congress to approve the FTAs. How can you double exports if you refuse to advance measures that would open up markets to them? Of course, now the unions and many Democrats are angry at him for not continuing to obstruct the free trade agreements. In the meantime, South Korea has been signing free trade agreements with the likes of Chile and the European Union. That gives European exporters a head start over Americans. So Obama has left his allies angry and his critics unmollified. Sounds something like the opposite of strong leadership. You can see a similar story unfolding on the issue of approval of the Keystone pipeline. This is a privately financed pipeline to transport oil from the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, to oil marketing facilities at Cushing, Okla. Like the FTAs, it’s a no-brainer. We get oil from friendly nearby Canada instead of the unstable distant Middle East. Some 20,000 jobs are created without a dime of government stimulus. But environmental groups are griping about Canada’s drilling methods and possible pipeline accidents, and the State Department, despite a clean environmental bill of health, has been stalling on providing the necessary approval. But eventually it surely will. The enviros will be cross, and the new jobs that might help re-elect Obama won’t be created until after the election. Chris Christie has shown that confrontational leadership can get results and produce more admirers than detractors. Barack Obama has shown that lack of leadership leaves pretty much everyone dissatisfied.

LETTERS Don’t we have a right to know why minds changed so suddenly? To the editor, At the September 15 Moultonboro Board of Selectmen public hearing on the Playground Drive proposed improvements, the five member board agreed unanimously that rebuilding the Playground Drive soccer field, as recommended by the Blue Ribbon Commission, was a priority and consistent with the intent of the warrant article approved by the legislative body at 2009 Town Meeting. Some members of the board spoke of problems of building at the Lions Club, with Selectmen Wakefield calling it a swamp, Chair Joel Mudgett citing the NH DES regulations that would be hard to overcome, and Vice Chair Ed Charest stating that the town never bought the Lions Club to build a soccer field. There was also a general consensus that if we knew then what we know now, the purchase of the Lions Club property would never have even been a consideration. He also cited the Planning Board’s 21 concerns that came out of the March of 2010 hearings, many of which were unknown when the property was bought in 2007, or even when the proposed community center was voted down in 2008. Members of the public asked if the selectmen decision to first rebuild Playground Drive had been reviewed by town counsel to see if he agreed with the selectmen’s interpretation. At least two selectmen felt it wasn’t necessary, but all agreed nonetheless to refer the 2009 Town Meeting question to town counsel. They never did. At the next regular selectmen business meeting on September 27, and seemingly out of nowhere, Selectmen Patten announced that she now believes that this whole question of soccer fields needs to go back to Town Meeting and we should spend yet more tax dollars to compare the cost of rebuilding at Playground Drive versus the Lions Club. None of the selectmen questioned the suddenness of this change of course and all immediately endorsed it. A complete flip flop of their decision made just two weeks prior. According to Selectmen Wakefield, this was all based upon a time line, going back to 2007, laid out in a letter addressed to town counsel that was drafted by our town administrator, but never sent. Although they passed a

town counsel, they have now changed their minds. When did they meet as a public body to decide to do that? “It’s a cluster” were Selectmen Wakefield’s exact words. No argument there. When I asked for release of the document that made them reverse their decision, our town administrator commented that it has never been the policy of this town to release correspondence between the town and town counsel, this despite the fact that it was never actually sent to town counsel and they stated just a few minutes prior that they decided not to send it. A decision on an issue as contentious as this, made after all five selectmen reviewed, deliberated and made decisions based upon this document and which completely reverses what they told the public just two weeks prior cannot be released? What are they hiding? Just what exactly did our town administrator tell them? I have made a formal Right-to-Know request this week for the document in question and ( if released) will post it on my blog (www.moultonborospeaks. blogspot.com) so the public can decide for itself what supposedly caused the board to do a an Olympic diving, gold medal quality, flip flop. Does anyone really believe that Ms.Patten suddenly came to this realization on her own and that her brief words to the board were so convincing that they went along with it without any discussion? So we have the Board of Selectmen ignoring their own Blue Ribbon Commission. We have recreation special interests bypassing the new Capital Improvements Program Committee and the Advisory Budget Committee and it’s the taxpayers once again footing the bill and kept in the dark. The same taxpayers that voted in 2008 against spending money to design and engineer a community center, which was also ignored by the selectmen. When will this debacle end? Only when taxpayers join together as we did in 2008 when we spoke loud and clear at Town Meeting, I would ask taxpayers who are interested in joining in the effort to once and for all end any plans to build on the environmentally sensitive Lions Club property now or in the future, to please email me at NHGuy3@gmail.com.

LETTERS Perspiration, not hope and change, needed to feed the bull dog To the editor, The economy continues to cast a pall over America’s labor market. The debt drags down our balance sheet. Nothing will turn around until the balance sheet changes. The talking heads claim we are not in a recession but when spending is down, economic activity is down, people are not working and inflation is growing whatever you call it... well, it ain’t good. One group in particular is having a harder than average time. There are over 6-million Americans who have now been out of work for more than six months. That is more than 40-percent of all those unemployed. Most of these people, 4.5-million, haven’t worked for a year or more. This is long term joblessness and it is unprecedented in post war America. Have you ever heard of an economy this tough, recessionary or non-recessionary? What do we think is going to happen when we stop the wars and bring hundreds of thousands of soldiers home and dump them on the streets with no jobs? The politicians and talking heads are not going there yet… but we will. Some think lackluster growth is the main problem. We need to get a clue folks. What we have is not lack luster growth. It is no growth and it has been this way for years. It is not going to change until we start doing things differently. Hope and change have not fed the bull dog. It takes some perspiration to move all that inspiration off the starting point. The pace of new hiring crashed during the recession and has not recovered. America’s unemployment rate is marginally off its peak, but that’s not a reason to plan a party. It is more about how they score the results than it is about whether people have jobs that can feed them. Workers are not escaping unemployment. They are stuck more firmly in unemployment than at any time since 1948. The long-term unemployed are struggling most. In the year to June, the newly jobless were three times more likely to find new work in a given month than the long-term unemployed. Many of the long term unemployed have given up hope. For the first time in more than half a century, jobless workers are more likely to drop out of the labor force and cease to be counted as unemployed than to get a job. A large mass of American workers are losing touch with the labor market. That is going to be difficult to reverse. It might be expected that unemployment would carry less stigma after a deep recession, than getting fired for a personal shortcoming. Yet a worker’s lifetime earnings are hurt more by a job loss in a weak economy. An experienced worker laid off when unemployment is at 9-percent faces a reduction in lifetime earnings nearly twice that of someone that loses their job when the rate is 5-percent: a loss of 20-percent on average. The unemployed increasingly face discrimination in rehiring. It happens often enough that it has been proposed that the practice be banned. That said, such a rule might encourage employers not to hire at all, for fear of legal action. Still, there are some signs that the long-term jobless can be coaxed back into the working world. New research by economists Elsby, Hobijn, Sahin, and Valletta shows that movement in

and out of the labor force is actually more fluid than has been previously assumed. The ranks of the unemployed are often replenished by those moving from outside the labor force that is, from not looking for work at all into active job seeking. The long-term unemployed pay close attention to the state of the job market and resume their job search in optimistic periods. A burst of optimism early this year, corresponding to a period when employment was growing by more than 200,000 jobs a month, coincided with a surge of workers back into the labor force to seek work. Policymakers are not responding to the situation. The incumbent president’s proposed American Jobs Act would reauthorize for another year current emergency unemployment benefits, which would help to support those that depend on the jobless, moderating misery and possibly keeping demand from declining further in the economy. He proposes increasing the program’s flexibility. Benefits could be used to supplement wages at businesses that cut hours rather than lay off workers, for instance. The incumbent also seems fond of state-level programs like “Georgia Works”, which pay benefits to jobless workers engaged in training. Congress is unlikely to approve such measures for political reasons. The Federal Reserve has noticed the issue. At a speech in late August, Chairman Ben Bernanke warned that longterm unemployment could harm the economy’s long-run growth prospects. Thanks Ben, but we shouldn’t be in this mess in the first place and your printing of money is inflating the money supply but it is not doing anything to actually create a solution. The balance sheet recession is not going to resolve itself. The debt has to be paid down. For that to happen spending has to be decreased to a level below income and the difference has to be applied to debt reduction. That will take time. Lots of time and the amount of time grows with the size of the debt. The truth is that until we get debt under control there are likely going to be more people unemployed than we see today, not less. Nothing would be so effective at putting people back to work as a strong economy and a period of growth. The terrifying thing is that we have given away the manufacturing base of the country, the technology that goes with it, we are in danger of losing the zeal, skills and educational quality that caused America to reach the top of the economic ladder and now we are eroding the fiscal and monetary positions that were built on the sweat and toil of Americans over the last two hundred years. Now we want the people with income to bail every one else out by paying more income taxes. Hey, has anyone stopped to realize that 46-percent of Americans don’t pay income taxes? At what point will it make more sense to move on with your money than to bail out an economy where they are one of the few the proud the tax payers? Simply put, we’re killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Recovery is now more than a generation away under the best of circumstances. Vote early, vote often. Marc Abear Meredith

Dormody voting on library budget is completely inappropriate To the editor, The Gilford Library Trustees provided a nice letter to the editor that states that Dale Dormody’s website and support services have been provided for free. This may be true but his services, and his spousal connection to the library’s director, has probably been profitable for Mr. Dormody. More than likely, Dale Dormody has used the Gilford Library as a beta test site to develop his services as a “marketable” benefit along with the fact that he is currently stating his spousal connection to the library’s director as a commercial benefit on his website. If you go to his web site — www.pipermountainwebs.com — you’ll see this phrase that I pasted directly from it: “We serve public libraries exclusively. The owner and founder of Piper Mountain Webs is the husband of the local library director.” On several occasions throughout my career I have tried to place free equipment in government facilities as a marketing tool to further my sales. Most of you reading this editorial have seen this form of marketing used quite effectively. Unfortunately, most government facilities never accept such a gracious offer because they say it might show bias and even if it’s legal it has the appearance of impropriety. I’ve never spent any time actually checking to see if there is a legal issue with a government entity allowing anyone, let alone the spouse of the department’s director, to use the department as a private sector marketing tool. This alone seems a little fishy, but then

adds the fact that the profiting owner of the business (Dale Dormody), votes on the library’s budget as a Budget Committee member. This of course is completely inappropriate but since Dale is doing the bidding for the “Lovers of Big local Government” here in Gilford, it’s perfectly fine. In Gilford, this is completely expected from his constituents who voted for him (twice). The same goes with a bunch of other elected officials in Gilford that simply love big government and routinely use their influence to keep it so. Of course here in Gilford, turnaround is NEVER fare play. If anyone gets the idea that we could save money or reduce precious services; the benefactors of the budget get the “useful idiots” to start howling for them. Howling or public outcry in our town is defined as ten or less people making noise to preserve public funding or benefits from our tax dollars. When two-thirds of the voters want the School District to adhere to Gilford’s legally ratified district plan, approved by the N.H. Department of Education, it really doesn’t count. The reasons don’t matter, it just doesn’t count because it doesn’t grow or protect Gilford’s government spending. Perhaps the best way to eliminate the School District’s superintendent is to convince the administration that it will add more useless jobs and more unnecessary spending to their budget. That seems to be the only way they’ll make any changes! Terry Stewart Gilford

LETTERS 8% of people in Obama admin. have real world biz experience

‘We cannot hire you here without a high school diploma’

To the editor, Here on Saturday, Oct. 1, I read that Steven Chu, Obama’s Energy Secretary has just approved five more loan grantees to solar panel companies. How does that happen right after he threw away half a billion dollars of taxpayer money on Solaria? That’s the bankrupt solar panel company the Bush admin. disapproved for the loan but Chu pushed through and Obama held a big media event to tout the great event. Are we in for more of the same because Obama wants to push his green agenda? Congressional hearings have begun to look into this and all the executives of Solyndra took the fifth. If the left wants to send CEO’s to jail, here’s their chance. Maybe a few of Obama’s henchmen should go along to keep them company because they are such close buddies. Ever wonder why and how the president has failed to fix the economy after running on the promises to do just that? If so, it might interest readers to know that every modern president’s administration has included people with real world business experience. Percentages range from the mid 30s up to the low 50s. Guess what Obama has in that category? EIGHT percent! This president knows nothing about running a business and instead of putting some people in place who

To the editor, Listen up class, especially you high school students and any of your friends who might have dropped out of high school lately. Listen, as this 56-year-old man humiliates himself as he describes a recent job interview he had in Laconia (Oct. 3). Given the recession we are in, there are a lot of semi-retired people my age returnig to the work force to make ends meet. The job I applied for consisted of caring for mentally and physically challenged individuals in the Laconia area — 32 hours a week. The one hour interview went well, for they ask me to come back the next day to start an initiation training class. As I was about to leave one of the young ladies present at the interview stopped me, holding my resume that showed three years of high school, two-years of preparatory school and several other courses

do, he fills his world with others just like himself who are ideologues who couldn’t run a damn lemonade stand. Then he commissions a study to learn how to fix our economy than ignores their findings. How does that make any sense? I don’t know about you readers but I’m fed up with all the crap coming from the left. They can’t defend the presidents record, he has failed at everything regarding the economy and jobs. His mantra of tax the rich is laughable given the way he has waisted taxpayer money and accomplished nothing meaningful. He refuses to even talk about real cuts and his supporters fill this paper and the airwaves with lies, smears and slanders trying so really hard to not talk about the issues. Screaming racist over and over but being unable to support the charges is an attempt to take peoples focus away from a failed president. I don’t think its going to work we still have 9.2-unemployment, the housing market is still down and billions of dollars of taxpayer money is still being given away to foreign countries. One last thing. A couple of days ago James Vererka sited as proof of Tea Party racism the following site : hometurbines.com . I checked it and it was about wind turbines, nothing else.

Come next spring, Stewart Park will really show its new colors To the editor, On behalf of the City of Laconia Parks and Recreation Department, I would like to thank all those that were involved in the recent tulip bulb planting project at Stewart Park in Downtown Laconia. A group of 35 devoted volunteers planted 4200 tulip bulbs in less than desirable weather conditions. I also would like to pass along a special thanks to several people who made additional contributions to the project. — Ginger Wells-Kay of Garden Artisans for drawing up the plan, measuring the gardens, printing instructions and ordering the bulbs. — Dale Squires and the Belknap Landscape Company for writing the press releases and organizing a group

to show up and help plant them. — Our good neighbors at Beacon Street West who baked wonderful blueberry cakes. — Laconia Village Bakery for providing hot coffee. — Warren Clement of the Laconia Rotary Club, who spearheaded the project. — Most of all, I would like to thank the Laconia Rotary Club, who graciously put up the money to purchase the tulips. Come next spring, the effort of all those involved will show its colors! Kevin Dunleavy, Director Recreation and Facilities Laconia Parks and Recreation

taken over the years. You do have a high school diploma? she asked. No, I replied. Then came the words WE CANNOT HIRE YOU WITHOUT A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. I really wanted that job. Having worked in the health care field, before it comes with rewards that far exceed a paycheck. I’ve served 40 years in the work force, never needing a high school diploma. The reality is, given the economy, no one will hire you without one, or at least, now in my case, a GED. So it’s back to school for this white hair. Laconia Adult Education is my next stop to obtain my GED, even though I might need help from fellow classmates to carry my books. If you can’t find me in class, you will most likely find me in detention hall — some things never change. Lesson of the day kids, BE COOL AND STAY IN SCHOOL. Tom Sellew Lochmere

What is the matter with this little Shaker Regional School District? To the editor, I read recently that our Shaker Regional School District had extra money in their budget. I had hoped that perhaps in these tough times they might return that to the town to help offset the outrageous taxes that we have here in the Belmont. I then read where other districts, with the same situation, had done that in their respective towns. I was hoping, but then, not to be sur-

than return this money to the taxpayers they would spend it anyway? What is the matter with this district? Where other districts did not even approve raises ours is still trying to obtain raises. The new superintendent has left after a short time . . . could it be that he thought the spending here was out of control? It is time for the taxpayers in Belmont to say enough is enough to this district! Don Irvin

Bottom line on municipal primary election is 2 more names on Nov. ballot LACONIA — The primary last month produced no surprises on the ballot set for the municipal election next month. Mayor Mike Seymour is seeking a second term without a rival. But, City Council seats will be contested in four of the six wards. Incumbents Bob Hamel (Ward 5) and Henry Lipman (Ward 3) are unopposed. In Ward 1, Ava Doyle, the incumbent, will face Mark Condodemetraky and in Ward 4, Jack Terrill will challenge incumbent Brenda Baer in a rematch of their race in 2010, which Baer won by just six votes. Incumbent Matt Lahey will be opposed in Ward 2 by Richard Beaudoin, whose write-in campaign at the eleventh hour reaped two votes in the primary and won

him a spot on the ballot. In Ward 6, Anthony Felch, who declared his candidacy but was struck from primary ballot for failing to report his change of residency in a timely manner, mounted a write-in campaign that garnered 20 votes, enough to earn a place on the ballot against longtime incumbent Armand Bolduc. Incumbent police commissioners Douglas Whittum and Warren Clement will run for the two seats on the ballot without opponents. Likewise, incumbent members of the school board Chris Guilmett in Ward 4 and Stacie Sirois in Ward are running unopposed. The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 8. — Michael Kitch

MONTANA from page 2 Chase offers new insight into what happened. Chase suffers from mental illness, according to authorities and those who know him. The affidavit said Chase had stopped taking his medications prior to the shootings, although it does not specify when or what the medications were. A day before the shootings, he left his mother’s house on North Dakota’s Fort Berthold Reservation taking with him a “Sitting Bull commemorative gun,” according to the affidavit. Shortly before noon Tuesday, Chase’s 21-year-old cousin, Levon Driftwood, sent a text saying Chase had made it to the Crow Reservation, where he had been attending college and living with extended family in a small cluster of houses about 10 miles outside Lodge Grass. The matriarch of the tight-knit clan, Gloria Cummins, had suffered a stroke several years ago and was cared for by Driftwood. Driftwood and boyfriend Rueben Jefferson had two-

year-old and three-year-old sons, and the affidavit indicates two children were home when Chase arrived. Within minutes, a fight ensued between Chase and Driftwood’s boyfriend, Rueben Jefferson. Chase shot Jefferson, Cummins and Driftwood, and was seen by a neighbor driving away from Cummins’ house at 12:10 p.m., according to the affidavit. “During an interview of one child, age 3 years, he disclosed Chase and RCJ (Jefferson) were fighting and Chase shot RCJ. The child further stated Chase also shot GSC (Cummins) and LFD (Driftwood),” the affidavit stated. Jefferson’s body was found outside the house by FBI and Bureau of Indian Affairs agents who responded to the scene. The bodies of Cummins and Driftwood were inside, and all three had gunshot wounds to the head or face. Authorities allege Chase used a highpowered hunting rifle in the killings. Chase’s former employer described him as acting erratically in the past, when he was said to cycle on and off medications for mental illness.

TRIAL from page one A ruling by Judge James O’Neill Monday limited the prosecution’s opening arguments as to McIntire’s and Noucas’s alleged drug purchase from Rivera earlier in the day as overly prejudicial but said drug use could be introduced as testimony. The 13-member jury of eight women and five men have the task of figuring out which woman is telling the truth but with the trial scheduled to go into next week, and lots of testimony still to come, it’s taking a while to get all the pieces of a very dark and disturbing puzzle. Noucas is charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary. He is represented by Andrew Winters. Sallies is serving a five-to-10 year sentence in the N.H. State Prison for Women for conspiracy to commit armed robbery, conspiracy to commit burglary and an unrelated cocaine possession charge. She testified yesterday against Noucas. It was her fiancee, Hart, who was stabbed to death in the third floor bedroom of Noucas’s former girlfriend’s Meredith apartment, by Rivera, a 19-year-old black man from Brockton, Mass who testified Wednesday he never remembered coming to New Hampshire in the first place. During the fight, Noucas’s throat was slashed. Under direct examination by Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern, Sallies testified that she and Hart were home on Saturday June 5, 2010 when Noucas and a friend, Dragon, came to their house. She said within a minute after their arrival, Noucas told her and Hart he wanted to go to his ex-girlfriend Sarah Longval’s Lake St. apartment and “rob this guy at Sarah’s house.” She said Noucas told them Rivera had both “coke and cash”. Sallies said she and Hart asked Noucas for details and after hearing Noucas’s story, she said Hart went to the dresser, and got some dark clothes for himself and gave Noucas a different shirt. She said she grabbed two of three orange masks from her dresser and her metal baseball bat that she kept by her bed and the four of them got into her maroon four-door sedan and drove up Parade Road to Meredith. She said on Noucas’s directions, she parked in the dirt parking lot on 100 Main Street and Hart and Noucas headed into the tree line. She said Noucas immediately came back to the car and grabbed a knife from Dragon’s pocketbook. She said it was her knife from a set she had just gotten a few weeks before but that she didn’t know Dragon had allegedly brought it from her kitchen until Noucas took if from her pocketbook in Meredith. She said the Hart and Noucas went back to the tree line and disappeared for about 15 minutes and that Dragon was “very drunk” and stayed with her in the car. The plan, said Sallies, was to go upstairs and “scare the kid out of his money and drugs.” After waiting about 15 minutes, Sallies testified she saw Noucas stumble back out of the tree line. “Mikey was limping, staggering and yelling for help,” she said.

She said she initially told him she wasn’t leaving without Hart but realized Noucas was “bleeding so bad” that she decided to take him to the Meredith police station, which was the closest place she thought he could get some medical attention. She said he laid in the back seat of her car with his head in Dragon’s lap while she sped through town toward the police station, less than a mile away She said she drove up on the police department’s lawn and got out of the car and opened the rear door and grabbed Noucas’s legs. She said she had to yell at Dragon to help her get him out of the car. Sallies said she “put Mikey on the ground” and ran inside, told the female police dispatcher that her boyfriend had been kidnapped and returned to Lake Street to look for Hart, going first back to the Main Street parking lot and then down Lake Street where she began screaming for him. When she couldn’t find him, Sallies said she pulled into Longval’s driveway and Longval, who Sallies knows, stuck her head out from a second story window, was crying and told Sallies she didn’t know what was happening. Sallies said she told Longval that “Mikey was dead.” By this time, the first state trooper had arrived and Sallies said she watched as one cop car turned into three, then into six and as crime scene tape went around the property. She said no one would tell her what was happening and it was the next day she learned from a friend that Hart was dead. Sallies also told the jury that Hart and Noucas had planned to get into the house by taking the air conditioner from the window. After a grueling cross examination by Winters where he got Sallies to admit she was initially uncooperative with police and hadn’t told them everything the night of Hart’s death, that she had two prior convictions for forgery and lying to police, she testified she was the one who reached out to Meredith Police detective Crp. John Eichhorn after she was arrested on the unrelated cocaine charge. “You lied to them,” Winters said, reminding her about the five-to-10 year total sentence she got instead of a possible 17-to-34 years in prison. He also got her to say she could be out in three years if she enrolled in a longterm drug abuse program. “I was scared, I guess I lied,” she said, later adding she didn’t lie to police initially but “just left out the part about the robbery, the knife and the bat.” She also admitted to telling police she thought Hart had been kidnapped by two (black) people in a green Acura. He also challenged the prosecution’s claim that Hart’s death caused her to have an epiphany and come clean with her story. “We did something really, really bad,” she said. “Just ‘cause we did it to a drug dealer doesn’t excuse it. Period.” Provost, who is also a prosecution witness, followed Sallies and testified that on June 5, 2010 the day before the alleged crime, Noucas had been at her old 100 Main Street (Meredith) apartment to help her and her son (McIntire) move to Laconia. see next page

TOLERANCE from page one Human Relations Committee says that the community forum sets the stage for the work that lies ahead for the city in trying to promote civil discourse and respect. She said that one thing she took away from the forum was a sense of “who will stand up with me” when it comes to dealing with the issues that must be faced in order to gain traction in shaping the attifrom preceding page She said Noucas was familiar enough with the area to know the shortcut from her former apartment to the back of the apartment house at 16 Lake St. Provost also testified that she knew Longval and Noucas well because her son was a friend of Noucas’s, that she and Longval were neighbors and she saw a lot of Noucas because he was around a lot. She said Noucas and Dragon had spent much of the day with her and her son and that it was Hart and Sallies that sought him out, not the way Sallies told the story. Under cross examination by Winters, she also said that at some point while Noucas was helping them move, he wanted to changed his shirt and she saw him go to Longval’s house and let himself in with

tudes of young people in the community towards tolerance. “Standing up against violence and hate is the taking the first step toward prevention” said Pierce following a presentation by Lecia Brooks and Michel Marsh Garcia of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The two had spent Tuesday and Wednesday in workshops with students, teachers and parents in Laconia public schools to promote “Respectful Schools,” an initiative of the Laconia school district, Lakes Region Community College, Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Police Department, Lakes Region United Way, N.H. Catholic Charities and Laconia Middle School PTO. Brooks told the group that hate groups are on the rise nationally, with over 1,000 now identified as such by SPLC, a 50-percent increase since the year 2000. She said that there are identifiable five hate groups operaring in New Hampshire, including the American Third Position in Ashland, a Northeast White Pride group, a Ku Klux Klan chapter and two anti-Semitic groups in Richmond. She said that a number of factors are contributing to the rise of hate groups, including a change in demographics which is transforming American society and will by 2040 see minorities actually becoming a majority nationwide. California has already reached “majority minority” status. “We see that trend moving into the South and the Midwest and the kind of tension it produces. And it’s not going to stop and that frightens some people. What we have to do is talk to our young people and prepare them for that change,’’ said Brooks. “Hate groups promote hate crime and the first step towards those crimes is the dehumanizing individuals, like school bullying does,’’ she said. see next page was she thought was a key. One of Noucas’s defenses against the burglary charge was that he had a key, that he still remained in Longval’s life and was an active parent to their son. Meredith Police Lt. Keith True testified Wednesday there was no signs of forced entry at 16 Lake St. Winters is bringing only one witness to the trial, Leslie Noucas. He has filed for an affirmative defense saying any actions taken by Noucas that night were to protect Hart and himself from imminent danger. As Noucas’s defense attorney, it’s his job to create enough doubt in the minds of the jury as to Belknap County’s case and that they find him not guilty. Testimony resumes at 11 a.m. this morning and Eichhorn is expected to take the stand.

SCANS from page one programs that make the early diagnosis tool accessible to all women regardless of their ability to pay. Chapin’s journey began the day after her mammogram last year. “The next day I got my call that it didn’t look good.” She was 47 at the time and because of her family history had been receiving yearly mammograms since she was 30. Still, hearing that the exam had revealed two small lumps in her breast – the largest one about 1.1 centimeter across – was unexpected. “I was in shock,” she said. She had always felt that breast cancer was not something that would happen to her. “Here it was, right on my doorstep.” What was it like for her to hear the news? “It’s horrifying, it’s devastating.

She said that the election of Barack Obama as America’s first black president has also fueled the rise of hate groups like the National Socialist Movement, whose web site traffic quadrupled after his election. Militia groups have grown fivefold in the last three years. Other factors in the rise of hate groups include the immigration, mostly of illegals, from Hispanic countries in Central and South America, the demonization of Islam following the terrorist attacks of 9-11 and continuing high unemployment, which hate groups exploit to gain new members. Brooks said that New Hampshire gets low marks

equalled death.” Illness doesn’t wait for an opportune time to appear. For Chapin, the revelation of her cancer came during the final two weeks of her family’s hosting of an exchange student from Belgium, so she had to put on a brave face while she tried to come to terms with her situation. For Chapin, research helped restore her optimism. “As time progressed, and I began to read about it, I realized treatments had come so far,” in the three decades since she watched the disease take her mother. One critical factor in Chapin’s favor was the early detection of her cancer. Her disease was diagnosed as “stage one,” meaning that the cancer was small and appeared localized to her breast tissue. The bad news was that her particular type of disease see next page for its teaching of the history of the Civil Rights movement in its schools but that is a statewide issue, not a local one and urged schools to adopt civil discourse in schools as part of their curriculum. Alan Robichaud of the Lakes Region United Way said that he was pleased by the large turnout for the meeting and the way Laconia schools are dealing in a pro-active manner with issues of tolerance and diversity by promoting inclusion. “There is a level of anger in our society and in our discourse which I don’t think I’ve ever seen before. What we’re trying to promote is a process in which we can treat each other with civility while talking openly about our differences,” said Robichaud.

from preceding page was expected to progress aggressively. After conferring with doctors and other experts at Lakes Region General Hospital, she embarked upon a treatment program that included the removal of the cancerous lumps, five rounds of chemotherapy and seven weeks of radiation treatment – five days each week, beginning the week before Christmas – at Concord Hospital. “The people were great, the treatment was bad,” Chapin said, laughing, as she recalled the way the chemotherapy made her feel, and how it was to go through winter without hair. “It’s hard to stay strong throughout all that,” she said. The expertise and sincere care she saw in her doctors, nurses and technicians, though, made it bearable. “I felt that everyone cared and I grabbed on to that and it carried me through.” Her husband, sons and friends were also a great source of support, she noted. “In a bad situation, I was in a good place.” She ended her treatments in February and now sports a close crop of curly brown hair. She won’t ever be able to say she’s cancer-free, and statisticians give her a 10 to 15-percent chance of seeing the cancer return within her lifetime. Yet, Chapin is ready to put the disease in her past. Life after cancer is great, she reported. She’s closer to her husband Barry, her sons and her friends, and she says she never has bad days anymore. “I’m thankful for what I have. Everyday is a good day. I’ve had enough bad. I’m determined that cancer isn’t going to take another day of my life.” She still hasn’t had a day where she hasn’t thought about cancer, but, “That day will come soon, I’m close.” Chapin believes the advancement of digital mammography has much to do with her success so far. “I think that’s what saved me,” she said. Since she started having mammograms, she’s been told that she has what medical professionals call “dense breasts,” where the tissue in her breasts can obscure small tumors from the view of technicians. Digital mammography, as opposed to film mammography, gives doctors the ability to electronically store and manipulate images and compare them with previous examinations. In her case, she believes the better technology allowed her disease to be identified while it was still in its earliest stage. LRGHealthcare has digital mammography available in three locations: Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin Regional Hospital and its Caring for Women clinic, located on Main Street in Laconia. LRGHealthcare’s breast health specialists are taking advantage of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month to remind residents of programs – the Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening program, which utilizes federal funds, and the National Breast Cancer Fo u n d a t i o n - f u n d e d Mammography Bridge program – which make digital mammography available for all women regardless of their ability to pay for the screening. “We don’t want a financial barrier for patients who want a

Apple announced Jobs’ death Wednesday night and remembered him as a “visionary and creative genius.” The company announced no cause of death, but Jobs had been diagnosed with a rare pancreatic cancer seven years ago and had a liver transplant in 2009. He was 56. On Thursday, the Apple website, which usually features slick presentations of multicolored iPods and ever-thinner MacBook laptop computers, simply displayed a black-and-white photo of Jobs, thumb and finger to his beard as if in contemplation. Around the world, tributes sprang up of the highest and lowest technology. In the Ginza shopping district of Tokyo, people held up iPhones and iPads, their screens facing outward and displaying sharply defined, touchable graphics of flickering candles. At an Apple Store in Hong Kong, old and new means of grief came together: People scribbled “RIP” and “We miss Steve” and longer notes of condolence on Post-It notes, and stuck them to an iPad display. And at the 24-hour Apple Store in midtown Manhattan, the remembrances were more traditional. Passersby left flowers and candles, actual ones.

Even there, people snapped pictures of the memorial with their iPhones. “I was so saddened. For me it was like Michael Jackson or Princess Diana — that magnitude,” Stephen Jarjoura said at the Apple Store in Sydney. His said Jobs left a legacy to rival Edison and Albert Einstein. Philippe Meunier, a senior partner of a Canadian ad agency who was visiting New York from Montreal, reflected on how weird it was to receive the news of Jobs’ death on the phone he invented. Even in Syria, seven months into an uprising, people paused to take pride in Jobs, whose father was born in Homs, the third-largest city. “This shows that this country can produce geniuses, if only we had freedoms instead of a suffocating dictatorship,” said Sara, a 23-year-old Syrian student who refused to give her full name for fear of Syrian government reprisal. Apple has sold 129 million iPhones and 29 million iPads. And in the decade since it revolutionized the music industry by offering “1,000 songs in your pocket,” it has sold 300 million iPods, or roughly enough to outfit every person in the United States. Jobs’ death came two days after Tim Cook, who took over as Apple CEO when Jobs stepped down in August, presided over the launch of the iPhone 4S. It was the first time in years Apple had launched a major product without Jobs to advertise it in his trademark jeans and black mock turtleneck.

Dow jumps 183 on support for European banks NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 183 points Thursday after the European Central Bank moved to support that region’s lenders and U.S. retailers reported stronger September sales. It was the third straight day of gains. The Dow has soared 468 points since Tuesday, or 4.4 percent. The European Central Bank promised to provide unlimited one-year loans to the region’s lenders through 2013. The goal is to shield banks from poorly functioning short-term credit markets, in which banks are becoming too worried about each other’s financial stability to lend money to one another. Germany’s DAX jumped 3.2 percent, and France’s CAC-40 rose 3.4 percent. The loans are also meant to help protect the banks in the event Greece’s government defaults on its debt. If that happens the value of Greek bonds held by those banks would be likely to drop sharply, weakening the banks’ balance sheets and making it harder for them to lend. The European Central Bank disappointed some investors by announcing that it would keep interest rates unchanged. Analysts were hoping the bank

would cut rates to encourage lending and give a boost to Europe’s sagging economy. Target Corp., Nordstrom Inc., Macy’s Inc. and other U.S. retailers reported sales that beat Wall Street’s expectations. While some of the sales were driven by deep discounts, analysts said the higher sales suggested the U.S. economy was not in another recession. “The market has been pricing in an out-and-out recession, but the fact that consumer spending is holding up shows that we’re more likely to continue muddling through at a 1 to 2 percent growth rate,” said Brian Gendreau, market strategist at Cetera Financial Group. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 183.38 points, or 1.7 percent, to 11,123.33. It was the first time the Dow rose by more than 100 points for three straight days since a three-day rally that began Aug. 11 and ended with a 763-point gain. It was the 9th straight day the Dow closed up or down more than 100 points, the longest such streak since November 2008, in the middle of the financial crisis. Markets have been extraordinarily volatile as investors react to the latest headlines out of Europe.

SOLAR from page 2 embattled clean energy loan program announced he is leaving in what officials called a planned departure. Jonathan Silver, who has headed the loan program since November 2009, said he is leaving to join a nonpartisan think tank. Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement that Silver informed him in July he was leaving, after it became clear Congress was not likely to extend a key section of the loan program that offered guarantees to renewable energy companies. The program, funded under the 2009 economic stimulus law, expired on Friday. Chu called Silver an outstanding leader who had “demonstrated considerable success” in helping U.S. companies compete in the global clean energy market. But Republicans called Silver the first casualty of the Solyndra debacle. “Mr. Silver’s resignation does not solve the problem,” said Reps. Fred Upton and Cliff Stearns. “We are in the midst of the Solyndra investigation and just days removed from Mr. Silver’s mad rush to finalize the last $4.7 billion in loans before the statutory deadline” on Friday. Upton, of Michigan, chairs the Energy and Commerce Committee while Stearns, of Florida, leads a subcommittee on oversight and investigations. Obama acknowledged that the loan program carries risk, and said officials always knew some companies were not going to succeed. But he said the process used to award a loan to failed solar panel maker Solyndra LLC was straight-forward and based on the merits. Solyndra declared bankruptcy

last month and laid off its 1,100 workers. Despite its collapse, Obama said the loan guarantee program has been successful and has created jobs, adding that members of both parties have supported such deals in the past. “The nature of these programs are going to be ones in which, you know, for every success there may be one that does not work out as well,” he said. Obama singled out Stearns at the White House news conference. Stearns said in an NPR interview this week that he doesn’t like the idea of putting taxpayers on the line for solar panels or other renewable energy. “We can’t compete with China to make solar panels and wind turbines,” Stearns said. Obama called that approach defeatist. “Look, I have confidence in American businesses, in American technology, in American scientists and entrepreneurs being able to win that competition,” he said. “We are not going to be duplicating the kind of system that they have in China where they are basically state-run banks giving money to state-run companies and ignoring losses.” Still, he said the U.S. government can play an important role to make sure U.S. companies “can at least have a fighting shot.” Obama’s comments represent his strongest defense yet as his administration faces increasing criticism of the Solyndra loan and the clean-energy loan program, which has awarded nearly $36 billion in loan guarantees since 2009, including 28 loans worth more than $16 billion under a stimulus-law program for renewable energy.

Jets say defense will focus on stopping Brady to Welker FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Antonio Cromartie dares Tom Brady to throw in his direction all day. Go ahead, the New York Jets cornerback says. He’s ready for the challenge. “I hope I’m a target this game,” Cromartie said with a smile. “I want to be a target every game.” Well, he better be careful what he wishes for, especially with the way the New England Patriots’ offense is playing. The struggling Jets (2-2) have to figure out how to stop Brady, Wes Welker and the high-scoring Patriots (2-2) on Sunday, and know it won’t be easy — whether Cromartie is up to the task or not. “We use the phrase, ‘chasing ghosts,’ and sometimes you have to do that,” defensive coordinator Mike Pettine said Thursday. “You don’t really know what their formations are going to be, what their personnel groupings are going to be and you might work against something all week and not see it, see something totally different. So you have to be very flexible in your approach when you play New England.” The Patriots are ranked No. 1 in overall offense, along with being the top passing team in the NFL. Their running game isn’t too shabby, either, ranking ninth overall. And that’s what’s making things so tough for opponents early on: Will they pass or run? “They were tough enough when they were onedimensional,” Pettine said. “Now having the threat of running the football certainly presents a problem.” Not that the Jets are intimidated, of course. “You realize he’s one of the great quarterbacks of this generation,” linebacker Aaron Maybin said. “At the same time, nobody’s going to be out there with their spectator hat on and wanting to give him praise for how great he is. We want to go out there and make it hell for him.” That’s much easier said than done, as the numbers show. Brady is off to a sensational start, throwing for a league-leading 1,553 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Welker already has 40 catches — 13 more than

Dallas’ Jason Witten, who ranks second in the NFL. Throw in a running game that’s averaging nearly 123 yards a game, and that’s a lot to deal with for opposing defenses. The Jets are No. 2 against the pass, though, but are a stunningly low 28th against the run. New York typically has used a smaller lineup with more defensive backs against the Patriots. “I don’t know if that plan will be able to hold up for the entire game,” Pettine said. “So our menu is a little fuller this week because they are a flavor-ofthe-week offense and it’s smart because it’s typically something you haven’t practiced against.” It all starts with Brady, of course, and putting pressure on him. Rex Ryan’s team has done a pretty good job of that in his five previous games against the Patriots as Jets coach. New York has won three of those matchups, including in the playoffs in January when the Jets sacked him five times. “If you just play standard coverage against him, you’ve got no chance,” Ryan said. “I mean, zero. You better hope for a hurricane or something because that might be your only chance. Quite honestly, I’ve been in the sideline wishing there was a hurricane because he’s that kind of guy. He’s as good as it gets right now.” The Jets players agree, and they all respect what Brady can do on the field — and that includes Cromartie, who made headlines in the playoffs when he called the Patriots quarterback an expletive and then said earlier this week that those comments still stand. The Jets aren’t revealing their defensive strategy, but Ryan said he’s “sure” All-Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis will match up with Welker at times. Cromartie might be on him, too. And, who knows who else? It might take a few guys to shut him down. “It’s him and Tom,” Revis said. “They have a 1-2 punch with each other, great chemistry.”

NEW YORK -- The Detroit Tigers survived a tense trip back to Bronx, with Jose Valverde and the bullpen holding on time and time again to beat the New York Yankees 3-2 Thursday night to win the deciding Game 5 of their AL playoff series. Don Kelly and Delmon Young hit consecutive home runs in the first inning, then Doug Fister and the Tigers spent the rest of a thrilling game trying to preserve their lead. They did -- barely -- and advanced to the AL championship series against Texas. Not Great Late Alex Rodriguez has been unable to come up big for the Yankees when he bats in the ninth inning of losses that eliminates the team from the postseason. “It was a gutsy win, especially with all the opportunities they had,” Kelly said. Joaquin Benoit followed Max Scherzer in the seventh and walked Mark Teixeira with the bases loaded, pulling the Yankees within a run. Benoit struck out Nick Swisher with a 95 mph fastball to keep the lead. Then in the eighth, Brett Gardner singled with

two outs before Derek Jeter flied out to Kelly just in front of the right-field wall. Valverde finished with the only 1-2-3 inning for Detroit after the first, getting his second save of the series and remaining perfect in 51 chances this year. After Valverde struck out Alex Rodriguez to end it, the Tigers’ closer crouched and pumped both arms as his teammates ran out to celebrate. “The Yankees are so good that I would be lying if I said it didn’t give me a little extra satisfaction to be able to do it here in the fifth game,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “This will be a game I’ll remember for the rest of my life.” While the Yankees were eliminated in the postseason with a one-run loss at home for the first time since the 1926 World Series against St. Louis, Detroit won an all-or-nothing postseason game for the first time since beating the Cardinals in Game 7 of the 1968 World Series. With the Tigers vying for their first World Series title since 1984, ace Justin Verlander will start the ALCS opener at Texas on Saturday night against the Rangers’ C.J. Wilson.

Lakes Region Community College sporting new 11kw grid-tied solar panel array

LACONIA – Officials from ReVision Energy, Lakes Region Community College (LRCC), and AllEarth Renewables joined New Hampshire policy makers on September 21 to inaugurate an 11kw grid-tied solar panel array at the college’s main campus on Prescott Hill. “LRCC is leading the way in the state with our highly regarded Energy Services and Technology degree program, and our workforce development training in PV systems installation,” said Dr. Scott Kalicki, president of LRCC. “We are proud of our innovative faculty and their work in bringing grants to the college that have allowed us to build a PV installation roofing mockup for training our current Electrical and Energy students, as well as licensed electricians throughout the state of New Hampshire. We are also very excited about a soon to be completed energy simulation room that will allow faculty and students to control and monitor the effects of heating, cooling and airflow change both in the room and through the walls of structure. This room will become a training resource for our faculty and students, the Architectural and Construction community, and will be used as a public awareness resource for public school groups and the citizens of our state. We are very dedicated to energy conservation and are proud to serve as role models via projects such as our solar panels. at LRCC.” The Solar Panel Array was installed by ReVision Energy, a Maine-based company with offices in Exeter, Portland, ME, and Liberty, ME. The array will help the college generate its own power through both passive and active solar measures. Estimates indicate that more than 21,000 kwh of energy will be generated for the campus through the roof-mounted and ground-mounted solar units. “This is an exciting project for ReVision Energy because it continues our long tradition of partnering with schools to bring renewable energy systems and curriculum to future generations,” said Phil Coupe, ReVision Energy’s co-founder. “Our mission is to help northern New England make the long-term transition to sustainable renewable energy sources, and school-based systems are one of the most effective tools to demonstrate that solar energy is a robust, reliable clean technology that works very well in our northern climate. With real-time system performance monitoring on both the stationary array on the roof and on the dual-axis tracking array on the ground, we will enable LRCC’s students to evaluate which approach is most cost-effective. We have been proud to work with the team at LRCC and we hope that this is not only an energy cost-saver for the college, but also a powerful opportunity to provide solar energy education to everyone who visits this campus.” The project was funded by a grant through the New Hampshire Energy Program under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act from the U.S.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife, “Elizabeth,” is wheelchair bound with multiple sclerosis and needs constant care, which I have been doing alone for years. Our family members become irritated when we don’t attend birthdays, weddings or other family gatherings. They show no concern for the massive effort on my part to get my beautiful wife up and around. It’s always about them. When I had bypass surgery, only my mother and one niece and her husband visited while I was in the hospital. It’s a me, me, me world for them. These relatives think all gatherings should be at my house with me doing all the work. They sit at the table watching me prepare, cook and serve the meal while simultaneously attending to my wife’s needs. I have explained that I will no longer wait on them. Neither side of the family has offered any assistance or relief, and it aggravates the bejeevers out of me that they think I’m some kind of spoilsport. They say I am “anti-family.” As my wife’s disease progresses, this is only going to get worse. I have attempted to talk to the relatives, but their needs always supersede mine. Do you have any suggestions? -Maine Husband Dear Maine: Your devotion to your wife is lovely, but your relatives apparently aren’t willing to put forth the energy to deal with your endless day-to-day needs. You cannot count on them to come through for you, so please do whatever is necessary to cope. Contact the National Family Caregivers Association (nfcacares.org) and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society (nationalmssociety.org) for support. And if you choose to host a family gathering, do not hesitate to delegate chores in advance. Have siblings bring specific food items. Assign clean-up duties to the nieces and

nephews. Tell them you enjoy seeing the family, but gatherings at your home necessitate that everyone pitch in. Dear Annie: My problem is a so-called friend who believes she’s an expert on everything. She sucks the oxygen out of every conversation and has alienated her family and most of her friends. Talking to her is downright painful. She has said to me, “Janet ended our phone conversation so abruptly it was almost as if she hung up on me.” She is clueless. She also refers to me as her “best friend,” which I am not. I have best friends and know the difference. Those special relationships are filled with give and take and have been nurtured for decades. I have known Ms. Know-it-All for two years and am more tolerant than most, but I think I’m done. I am not a mean person, and not returning her phone calls seems cruel. How do I end this relationship? -- California Dear California: This is one of those situations where you have nothing to lose by being honest, and it might do some good. Tell Ms. Know-it-All that her need to impress everyone by claiming expertise in every subject gives the impression that she is insecure and makes conversation exhausting. Be polite and apologetic for hurting her feelings, and explain that you thought she should know so she can work on it. Dear Annie: “Suffering Soon-To-Be Ex” made the mistake of joking that he wished he’d grabbed his wife’s sister. Now his wife won’t forgive him. I can relate to his wife. My husband and I sat with a large group of friends one evening, and my husband made the comment that he had more fun when I wasn’t there. It ruined the weekend not only for me, but for our friends, as well. I will remember that comment and carry the hurt for a very long time. -- My Sympathies to the Woman

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis most of the day -- you’ll be a hit. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Though you are a bit cautious when it comes to new adventures, you will get involved in one and the results are beyond brilliant. Your surprise will equal your delight. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You relate everyday matters to largescale philosophical and political issues, and somehow this doesn’t come off as heavy handed at all. You’ll be light and lively as you inspire and educate others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your hunches will be either ridiculously off target or eerily correct. Either way, if you follow them, the day’s whimsy will be high entertainment for you and your loved ones. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one can convince you to move at a pace other than the rhythm of your own heart. You’ll make a personal commitment when you’re good and ready to do so, or not at all. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be full of both questions and answers. Once you form an opinion, though, you’ll convince yourself of it so thoroughly that it will only be one more step to convince someone else. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 7). You have an instant rapport with people this month. You’ll quickly bond with a group that hangs on your every word and gesture. And though it will be fun to be a star, you’ll also enjoy the escape to a new locale that comes in December. Family additions happen in May. There’s a competition in June, and you’ll take home a prize. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 2, 21 and 7.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will prefer to run the show. You would have made a gifted producer or director, and though today’s task will not be an entertainment vehicle for the masses, it still will be a masterpiece. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re a romantic at heart and have an idealism in matters of love that belies the down-to-earth pragmatism you display regarding almost everything else. You’ll be won over by a dewy show of affection. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are full of ideas, hardly a practical one in the bunch. That’s what will make you so mysterious and attractive, especially to people who are a little dry in the creativity department these days. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are protective and nurturing, and you’ll thrive when you know it’s up to you to take care of loved ones. Could they, in all actuality, care for themselves? Maybe so. But just for now, it’s nicer for both of you when you take over. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll have a laid-back attitude, letting relationships and business opportunities come to you instead of seeking them out. Because you’re not trying too hard, others will assume you already have what you need and want. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those around you may view you as lucky. Actually, what they see is not luck, but a purposeful and practical sequence of the setting and acquisition of your goals. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your excellent sense of timing puts your audience in the palm of your hand. Though it probably will be a rather small audience -- fewer than three people for

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 7, 2011

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Oct. 7, the 280th day of 2011. There are 85 days left in the year. The Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 7, 2001, the current war in Afghanistan started as the United States and Britain launched air attacks against military targets and Osama bin Laden’s training camps in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks. Speaking from the White House, President George W. Bush said, “We will not waver, we will not tire.” On this date: In 1777, the second Battle of Saratoga began during the American Revolution. In 1910, a major wildfire devastated the northern Minnesota towns of Spooner and Baudette, charring at least 300,000 acres. Some 40 people are believed to have died. In 1960, Democratic presidential candidate John F. Kennedy and Republican opponent Richard M. Nixon held their second televised debate, in Washington, D.C. In 1981, Egypt’s parliament named Vice President Hosni Mubarak to succeed the assassinated Anwar Sadat. In 1985, Palestinian gunmen hijacked the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro in the Mediterranean. (The hijackers, who killed Jewish American tourist Leon Klinghoffer, surrendered two days after taking over the ship.) In 1991, University of Oklahoma law professor Anita Hill publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of making sexually inappropriate comments when she worked for him; Thomas denied Hill’s allegations. In 1998, Matthew Shepard, a gay college student at the University of Wyoming, was beaten, robbed and left tied to a wooden fencepost outside of Laramie; he died five days later. One year ago: New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie canceled construction of a decadesin-the-making train tunnel between New Jersey and Manhattan, citing cost overruns that had ballooned the price tag from $5 billion to $10 billion or more. Today’s Birthdays: Retired South African Archbishop Desmond Tutu is 80. Comedian Joy Behar is 69. . Rock musician Kevin Godley (10cc) is 66. Actress Jill Larson is 64. Country singer Kieran Kane is 62. Singer John Mellencamp is 60. Rock musician Ricky Phillips is 60. Actress Mary Badham is 59. Actress Christopher Norris is 58. Rock musician Tico Torres (Bon Jovi) is 58. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is 56. Actor Dylan Baker is 53. Recording executive and TV personality Simon Cowell is 52. Rock musician Charlie Marinkovich is 52. Country singer Dale Watson is 49. Pop singer Ann Curless is 48. Rhythm-and-blues singer Toni Braxton is 44. Rock musician-dancer Leeroy Thornhill is 42. Actress Nicole Ari Parker is 41. Actress Allison Munn is 37.

Volunteers needed to offer free tax services to Laconia area residents LACONIA — The Lakes Region Financial Stability Partnership, led by Lakes Region United Way, is teaming up with the IRS once again to bring free tax preparation to the community through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. More volunteers are needed according to the partnership, which is currently recruiting volunteer tax preparers, greeters, and site assistants. No prior tax experience is necessary. Free, flexible training is available to volunteers willing to commit to only a few hours a week providing this service. To prepare taxes, volunteers will pass a test to become IRS-certified. Volunteer greeters are trained to greet and screen taxpayers at the site and provide general site support such as setting up for services. Site assistants help the site coordinator by assisting in appointment making, preparing the site each session, and in general, support the site coordinator. In Laconia volunteers are needed for the free tax site in Laconia at the Lakes Region Family Center (CAP Office). Evening and Saturday hours of operation will be available. Volunteers can register by contacting Kathy KayPfenning, site coordinator, at 524-6864 Ext. 102 or email: kpjpfenning@metrocast.net.

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Moultonborough Board of Selectmen at a recent meeting honored participants in the town’s program to beautify prominent public locations by having them adopted by local businesses and individuals. In this fourth year of the program seven businesses or service clubs and two families adopted 9 spots throughout the community ranging from the town entry sign at Center Harbor to the larger scale Sutherland Park. All were given certificates of appreciation and the top three spots were given special plaques of recognition, after a judging by local gardeners. First place went to Donnybrook Services for work at the Community Center (Recreation), second place went to Miracle Farms Landscaping for its work at the Public Safety Building, and third place went to Miracle Farms for the entry sign at the Center Harbor town line.

Other participants included James and Karen Nigzus and family at Playground Drive, Dion’s Plant Place at the north parking island of Town Hall, Pine Ridge Lawn and Landscape for the front of Town Hall, Moultonboro Toastmasters at the south parking island of Town Hall, the Moultonborough Lion’s Club and Aubuchon Hardware at Sutherland Park and Robert Patenaude for the town line at Bean Road. Joel Mudgett, chairman of the Moultonborough selectmen said, “It is always a challenge to keep such volunteer efforts healthy and thriving. In this our fourth year, we can’t thank these participants enough for their efforts in improving the quality of life in our community. We received many positive comments and the abundant color brought joy to many. We hope that each resident and visitor takes an opportunity to say thank you to these participants as well.”
