19-year-old charged with punching out windows at Gilford Fire Station; 2 firefighters injured

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — A Gilmanton man who police said appeared to be intoxicated punched two of the windows on the overhead doors of the Fire Department Sunday night, cutting himself and injuring one fire-

fighter will likely need surgery to repair a muscle strain. A second firefighter was cut by flying glass.

Police said Benjamin Page, 19, of Gilmanton allegedly punched out two glass panes, entered the station, and began yelling at firefighters. He

returned to a car that was parked in the travel lane of Cherry Valley Road (Rte. 11-A) where he was detained by firefighters until police arrived.

Neither police nor fire officials said they knew what provoked Page’s alleged attack on the building.

“Senseless,” said Fire Chief Stephen Carrier.

After breaking the windows, police said Page began arguing with Deanna Peverly, 18, who was in the car and was restrained by three firefighters until police arrived. see WINDOWS page 9

Sandusky & his victims to speak at sentencing hearing today

DERRY, N.H. (AP) — It was John Boehner versus Big Bird on Monday as both presidential campaigns tried to attract attention in New Hampshire with less than a month to go before the election.

Boehner, the Ohio Republican speaker of the U.S. House, rallied Mitt Romney supporters at the campaign’s office in Derry.

Outside, Democratic President Barack Obama’s campaign staged a small protest featuring someone dressed up in a slightly shabby Big Bird costume, holding a sign accusing Romney of being “soft on Wall Street — tough on Sesame Street.” The gimmick was meant to highlight comments Romney made in last week’s debate about wanting to cut federal funding for PBS despite loving Big Bird.

Romney supporters stuck a “Romney-Ryan” sticker on the shorter, see BIG BIRD page 13

BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky and at least some of his victims plan to address the judge at his sentencing, a proceeding that may last less than two hours, lawyers said after a closed-door meeting to iron out logistics ahead of the Tuesday hearing.

Sandusky lawyer Joe Amendola said “it’s as certain as certain can be” that the former Penn State assistant football coach will speak to Judge John Cleland and

assert his innocence before he is sentenced on 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

“What I anticipate he’ll say is he’s innocent,” Amendola said outside the courthouse Monday afternoon.

Amendola said he did not expect any others to speak on Sandusky’s behalf, although friends and family members — including his wife, Dottie — have written letters of support. Dottie Sandusky plans to attend the hearing, he said.

Given the number of charges, the serious nature of his crimes and his age, the 68-year-old Sandusky faces the likelihood of a sentence that will send him to state prison for the rest of his life. Sandusky was convicted in June of abusing 10 boys over 15 years, including some attacks inside Penn State athletic facilities.

“The important thing for us is, it starts the appellate process,” Amendola said. see SANDUSKY page 15

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — During his re-election campaign, President Hugo Chavez promised to deepen the “21st century socialism” that has meant an evergreater state role in the economy. That message won him a surprising 11-percentage point win in what many had thought would be a tight race.

Still, he’s set to start a fourth presidential term under challenging economic circumstances. The government’s freespending ways, bankrolling the generous

social programs that aided his re-election, may be seriously crimped.

Chavez faces immediate economic time bombs beginning with a rapidly expanding public debt, one of Latin America’s highest inflation rates and a weakening currency.

Many economics believe Chavez will have no choice but to devalue the currency, the bolivar, by about half early next year at the latest. That will make the money in people’s pockets suddenly worth a lot less and likely drive inflation while putting

imported consumer goods out of reach for poorer Venezuelans.

“He’s going to have to deal with some very basic, mundane capitalist things, like reducing inflation,” which stands at 18 percent, said Eduardo Gamarra, a Latin American studies professor at Florida International University in Miami.

Price controls and government subsidies for basic foodstuffs have eased inflationary pressures but a major devaluation would see CHAVEZ page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — Nine years after the Supreme Court said colleges and universities can use race in their quest for diverse student bodies, the justices have put this divisive social issue back on their agenda in the middle of a presidential election campaign.

Nine years is a blink of the eye on a

court where justices can look back two centuries for legal precedents. But with an ascendant conservative majority, the high court in arguments Wednesday will weigh whether to limit or even rule out taking race into account in college admissions.

The justices will be looking at the University of Texas program that is used to

help fill the last quarter or so of its incoming freshman classes. Race is one of many factors considered by admissions officers.

The rest of the roughly 7,100 freshman spots automatically go to Texans who graduated in the top 8 percent of their high school classes. see COLLEGE page 13

Grace Capital Church opens, expects to have positive impact on downtown

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Mark Warren, pastor of the Grace Capital Church of the Lakes Region, told the more than 300 people who turned out at a ribboncutting ceremony at its new place of worship in the downtown Laconia Mall (municipal parking garage building) Sunday morning that the church intends to be a positive force in the community, both for it’s good deeds and the positive impact that it will bring to the downtown area. ‘’We’re all in this together and will work to do what we can do as a community to help’’ said Warren, who thanked Mark Blondeau of Northpoint Builders for all that he had done to help convert the mall space, once a discount furniture store and then eyed as a health club location, into a home for the church.

He also thanked Kevin Sullivan of Weeks Commercial Real Estate for his work on arranging the lease of the 22,000-square-foot space to the church, which he said is being leased at cost to the church for it’s first year, and to Robert Sawyer of Sawyer’s Jewelry, who had rented office space on Canal Street to the church.

Warren said that the church, which has been holding its services at the Laconia Middle School since it first opened in the area of October, 2010,

now has the worship space it has needed, along with classrooms, a teen center and office space. He anticipates the church will shortly have as many as 400 members.

Founded in 1996 by Peter Bonanno, The Grace Capital Church started out meeting in private homes and schools in the Concord area before moving to a building in Pembroke in 2005. The congregation grew rapidly, with about 1,000 worshippers attending two services on Sundays, many of them from the Lakes Region. Warren said that a church is slated to open another branch in Manchester next year.

Grace Capital Church is affiliated with the Foursquare Church headquartered in Los Angeles, which was founded by the celebrated evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson in 1927.

The space, which has been vacant for the past six years, is owned by Downtown Crossing LLC, whose principals, Paul and Dan Disangro, were awarded the property in a settlement reached with Steven Borghi of Alton in 2009. The Disangros were partners of Borghi when his plans to open a Work Out World franchise foundered under heavy debt,.

In August 2011, Andrea Wilson announced plans to open a children’s museum in the space, which she subsequently abandoned.

Electric Cooperative board approves union deal PLYMOUTH — The Board of Directors of New Hampshire Electric Cooperative (NHEC) voted unanimously Monday to approve a new contract with members of the union representing 85 linemen.

The new five-and-a-half-year contract agreement was reached on October 4 and was approved by members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 1837 on October 5. Union employees had been working under the terms of a five-year agreement that expired September 30, 2012. The new contract is in effect retroactive to October 1, 2012.

The union had threatened a work stoppage if the stalemate continued.

Botton line: stay tuned Walter Mondale won his first debate against Ronald Reagan in 1980. John Kerry won his first debate against George W. Bush.

Mitt Romney won his first debate against Barack Obama.

When you win, you get lots of congratulations. When you lose, you get lots of advice. President Obama, I am absolutely certain, is getting lots of advice. The expectations for Romney will be higher in the next debate. Obama will be more passionate, more assertive and more engaged.

So why wasn’t he that way on Wednesday night? Lots of reasons.

Hindsight is 20/20.

My guess, watching the debate, is that Obama had taken the Hippocratic oath. He didn’t want to “stoop” to the level of his opponent (challengers always get a bump from being on the same stage as the president), so he just plain avoided any tough criticism (say, of Romney’s support for the Wall Street bailout and not for the auto industry bailout, or of his statement that the 47 percent of the electorate who depend on government entitlements (like seniors and veterans and the disabled) are “victims” who don’t take “responsibility.” But in almost every debate, the more aggressive candidate is seen as the winner if he doesn’t go way over the top. Obama debated like a guy who has a bigger lead than he has.

And there’s more. As a guy who has made some pretty big gaffes, Romney came in with low expectations and beat them. Obama, supposedly the great communicator, came in with high expectations even though his oratorical skills tend to shine in front of huge audiences and not when he’s straight into the camera. Romney has debated dozens of times in the past year. The president hasn’t debated in four years.

The polls will almost certainly give Romney a bump. This will definitely help him raise money. But there are many conservatives who are overplaying their hands here, claiming this debate was a game changer the way Bush’s second debate against

Michael Dukakis was (“if someone raped and killed your wife...”) and Reagan’s only debate against Carter was (“there you go again...”). If conservatives push hard enough, they could land Romney in the same position Obama was in this time: facing expectations he can’t meet while coming under even greater scrutiny for his statements.

Losing the first debate is a problem that can be turned around — as both Reagan and George W. Bush did. Getting creamed in the second or only debate — as Carter and Dukakis did — is far more likely to be fatal.

So, Romney supporters: Don’t pick out those White House curtains yet.

Obama supporters: Don’t give up on your man.

Romney advisers: Tell your friends to tone down the rhetoric.

Obama advisers: Don’t be afraid to speak truth to power. The president deserves to be criticized, hard as that is to do when you’re sitting in a room with the president of the United States.

And for those who spend their time criticizing the “liberal media,” take a listen to what MSNBC had to say after. Their criticism of the president was as over the top as the boasts and predictions many conservatives are making today.

For all of the e-mail I’ve been getting — and I’ve been getting plenty — no one has said they’ve changed their mind about who to vote for.

Disappointed or not, Obama has a solid command of his base. And if he didn’t close the deal with swing voters last night (and he certainly didn’t), he also didn’t liberate Poland, as Gerald Ford did in 1976.

If you watched last night, I can’t imagine you won’t want to see what happens in the next episode.

Bottom line: Stay tuned.

Given Maggie’s creative bookkeeping, I could balance any book To the editor, I watched with some interest a recent TV advertisement for Maggie Hassan, candidate for New Hampshire governor. It trumpets the fact that while president of the State Senate, she had “balanced the state budget.” A very commendable achievement. But what was omitted was the fact that in order to do that wonderful thing she also presided over raising taxes 99 times to pay for a 24-percent increase in state spending, partly by

shifting some costs into the future through borrowing. This tricky bookkeeping equates to us buying a new car and having our unborn grandchildren responsible for the payments, as if they won’t have problems with the rising costs of everyday living!

Give me that sort of creative bookkeeping responsibility and I could balance the budgets of all the countries in the western hemisphere. Nice try Maggie!

LETTERS I believe you will be shocked by all that we have in common To the editor, I read with great interest Gail Morrison’s October 2 letter about her bemoaning the fact that State Senator Jeanie Forrester will not speak at a function she’s organizing, but that the senator is coming to our Lakes Region Tea Party meeting on October 17th at 7 p.m. at the Moultonborough Public Library.

Many months ago I tried to get Senator Forrester to speak at one of our meetings. What I discovered, much to my surprise, is that she filled her schedule each week going to many events to connect with her constituents in the second district. I thought that elected officials like Jeanie just pressed the flesh as an election drew near. Suffice it to say, Jeanie is a rare elected official that invests vast amounts of her personal time to report back to those she represents no matter their political persuasion.

What bewilders me is why Ms. Morrison has not taken the time to attend perhaps 100 or more events over the past two years where Senator Forrester has spoken or appeared.

There’s been more than enough time

for Ms. Morrison to quiz Jeanie in public about her stance on the issues.

It’s too bad that Ms. Morrison discovered at the last minute that Senator Forrester’s schedule is filled much like that of a dentist or doctor. But have no fear, I have a solution! Ms. Morrison I cordially invite you and all of your followers to attend our Tea Party Meeting on October 17th. There you can listen to Senator Forrester and ask her all the questions you’d like.

I’m serious about this invitation.

It’s time to explore all of the things we have in common and work together.

Bitter partisan politics have pushed our great state of New Hampshire and the United States of America to the brink of disaster. Ms. Morrison, I implore you to contact me and take my offer seriously. Please come to our meeting, let’s talk about solutions not differences. I believe you’ll be shocked about how much we have in common.

I’m easy to locate. Just go online to Bing.com and enter my name.

P.S. Wait until you see the great desserts we have at our meeting.

Students need to learn coping mechanisms machines can’t teach To the editor, A reply to the letter of Mr.Charles J. Graham: If it were all so simple, computers would have been structured to teach all programs decades ago. Strict credentialing laws throughout the country usually disallow creative teaching solutions. DNA and environment impact continue to be the fundamental puzzle to the process of learning and thus, the process of teaching.

A computer is worthless if a student does not know how to study and learn and worse still when a student has no desire to learn. This is the point when a teacher can inspire with encouraging words and assurance that practice can produce results.

A classroom exposes students to multiple lifestyles and that is precisely what they will face in the work environment. A classroom environment teaches the art of listening to another person, even if you do not want to. It is also a learning ground for how to look into another person’s

eye and tell them “why you believe what you believe”.

A machine does not teach tone of voice, non verbal cues, when to speak up and when to be silent. A machine does not teach how to find the courage to learn something new. A machine does not teach how failure can lead to a new and different success.

Further still, a machine does not get sick, have a family that dies, or argues politics. Students need to see these human strains in order to learn coping mechanisms a machine could never teach.

Until the end of time, teaching will include machines and more importantly human to human interaction.

The necessity of paying those who are willing to do such a demanding task is part of our educational system. The United States of America has created laws to provide education for our children in order that they may lead productive lives as good citizens, good workers, and good neighbors. see next page

Aren’t large tax cuts for the wealthy also a form of bribery?

To the editor, If one thing is becoming increasingly evident, it is that class warfare is in the eye of the beholder: While Mitt Romney did not exactly declare war on the 47 percent of the American people, he did state that the are not his concern. This is a charge of longstanding, that legislation to provide what might in broad terms be defined as “Freedom from Want” is in fact a bribe, meant to secure the votes of those who benefit from it.

Very few people, as far as I know, have pointed out that the large tax cuts for the wealthy can also be construed as a bribe, to secure the support of this constituency. Simply put Romney and his wealthy supports will directly benefit from his tax policy, not from preceding page WE are all part of the education system in this country. Changes are made, then discarded and replaced with new ideas. The more input individuals make, the more likely key ideas will evolve that will enhance our educational system and thus, our country. The world is watching. We are still the grand experiment, 236 years and counting.

K. Trendell Laconia

to secure basic needs but merely to heap up more wealth. So class warfare is an issue that depends solely upon which side of your bread is buttered.

Furthermore it might be well to look at Romney’s desire to increase war (defense) spending. No one would question the need for an adequate defense, but this we do not have. Instead we have an expensive mechanism in place that is not very good at what it does. After all, it only took a decade to track down bin Laden. This is not to disrespect the troops on the ground, it is to point out both the power and ineffectiveness of the military industrial complex, which can produce an atomic submarine (who are we going to use that against?) but not adequate protective gear for serving soldiers. Of course the military-industrial complex is made up of serving officers (who always want more, more more), retired officers who work for or consult with the defense industries and the industries themselves — who are always happy to provide more and more.

The incestuous, powerful nature of the military industrial complex is not a pipe dream of wishy-washy liberals; it was first articulated and named by Dwight Eisenhower who must be supposed to have some expertise on the subject.

LETTERS Cannon’s performance over last 5 years bas been exceptional To the editor, As a Cannon skier since 1975, I have a very different perspective on the recent changes at Cannon from the one Mr.Clark shared in his recent letter. In the past five years, Cannon has made large investments to improve the skier experience and be more competitive with the other major ski areas in the state, and most importantly to be profitable. The base lodge facilities have been doubled, 50-percent more terrain has been added with the incorporation of Mittersill and the new lift built to serve it. Great strides have been made in snow making and the grooming fleet enlarged. These kinds of changes are very capital intensive, but the old adage that you have to spend money to make money applies here.

Mr. Clark claims that Cannon Mountain has been a drain on the states coffers the past 10 years to the tune of $7 million (on what specifically is that claim based? Is it a blanket statement for which Mr. Clark has offered no frame of reference). My understanding is that Cannon is selffunding on the operating line — Mr. Clark, support you claim and tell us when, where, and how much the state has subsidized Cannon. When you are talking about the $900,000 in operational deficits and debt payments, where are you talking about — are you talking narrowly about the liability for these debts (since the state owns Cannon), or are you staying that the state has taken money from the General Fund so that the checks could be written to cover the operating

losses and debt from the 2012 season, using funds that would otherwise go to other compelling state needs?

Mr. Clark has us looking through a very small window and neglects the rest of the picture. In 2007 Cannon was $1.5 million in the red on its long term dept. But Cannon operated in the black and had a net surplus for the years of 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and this remarkable turnaround has almost been erased and (even after the terrible 2012 winter) stand at about $54,000. Further, it must be noted that the surplus for the record season 2011 was such that the state asked Cannon to return $800,000 to the general fund to offset operating losses elsewhere in the N.H Division of Parks and Recreation.

On top of all this, Cannon was still able to carry over a surplus of $275,000 into 2012. This was fortunate, as it cushioned the financial blow fo that anomalous winter, along with the accompanying loss of skier visits and its impact on the bottom line.

Cannon’s skiers visits were down 25 percent and from the all-time record season in 2011 and it did lose money in 2012. But if you look at Cannon’s performance over the past five years, it has been exceptionally good. Conservatives are fond of saying that government agencies should be run like a business. Cannon is being run like a successful business and the results are there fore everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Clark, stop acting like Eeyore. If you don’t know who that is, ask a kid.

Why attack just Rep. Kingsbury? All Republicans voted same To the editor, Some months ago a writer to this paper, one Charles Smith, had some nasty comments regarding some speaking out against the Human Relations Committee, and “Community Aspirations” — which I called an effort to stifle my First Amendment rights. After inviting a Leonard Campbell and other members of those groups to join me on radio, Charles recoiled from his nasty letters. Probably he was advised not to give me more fodder for my cause. Now that he is candidate (Democrat) for N.H. House, I see he is back attacking one member of our county delegation, Rep. Bob Kingsbury.

Smith has chosen to attack a WWII hero, who instead should be respected for his endeavors and opinions. Smith’s attack focused on one person — why is

that? Nearly ALL of the Republicans voted for that state budget.

I believe N.H. House candidates from both parties should make themselves available to folks like me by way of my radio program and the voters who want an honest Q&A — not one of those ho-hum candidates’ nights! NO Democrat gets my vote, and not ALL Republicans are guaranteed my vote. Who among you would like air time on a Saturday morning to answer the questions of the callers, and me? Please come prepared.

E-mail me at advocates@wezs.com with your intent to join me for 30 or more minutes on a Saturday, in the immediate future. This invitation is for candidates in Laconia, Gilford, Meredith, and Belmont.

Rep. Hill has made great contribution on Education Committee To the editor, I am writing today in support of the re-election of Representative Greg Hill. Greg is a tremendous family man with enduring conservative values.

During his time in Concord, Rep. Hill has helped stabilize the state budget without raising any taxes. His experience in the private sector comes from providing sound financial advice on retirement planning. That knowledge will benefit our state retirement

system as the legislature attempts to right the retirement system ship in the coming years. Rep. Hill has made his greatest contribution on the House Education Committee, and I hope he will continue to provide superior leadership on that topic.

Please join me in supporting Rep. Greg Hill for the N.H. House.

LETTERS October is month for reflecting on how domestic violence affects us To the editor, October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. We hope all members of the community will join us in reflecting on domestic violence and how it affects all of us. We mourn those who have lost their lives, honor those who have survived, celebrate all the work that has been done to end domestic violence and recognize how much more work has yet to be done in this movement. The observance began as the Day of Unity in 1981, and soon grew to a special week for domestic violence awareness activities. In 1987 the observance grew to a full month with commemorative legislation following two years later.

One in four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. Women, men and children are all affected. Domestic violence knows no race, religion, age, socio-economic class or sexual orientation; people from all walks of life are vulnerable.

Most of us know and care about someone who has been affected by domestic violence, whether we know about the violence itself or not. It is important to know how to help someone if they disclose to you that they are in, or have been in, an abusive relationship: listen, believe, support, and refer.

As simple as it may sound, listening to your friend or family member and conveying that you believe her is one of the most important things you can do for her. Offer your support, including supporting her in making her own decisions. Refer her to her local crisis center or hotline. Trained advocates are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to provide crisis intervention, support, advocacy and safety

planning. You can also refer her to police, medical providers and court, and help her make the initial connection to those resources if she needs some extra support. Helping a loved one is something we can all do to end domestic violence, not only in Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but at any point in our lives.

This year, as we celebrate over 20 years of providing services, New Beginnings is reaching out to police departments, hospitals, courts, faith communities and all community members to try to raise awareness of domestic violence. We are also planning our “Putting on the Ritz” for our 20s Gala to celebrate over 20 years of providing services in Belknap County.

At this special event we will honor the strength of survivors and celebrate all work being done in Belknap County to end domestic and sexual violence. We are also excited to announce that we are joining the NO MORE Campaign, a national effort to end domestic violence and sexual assault; we invite all community members to join us in this unified effort. For more information on New Beginnings, our services, programs and events, please call (603) 528-6511 or visit us at www.newbeginningsnh.org.

If you or someone you know has been affected by domestic or sexual violence, trained advocates are available to speak with you through the 24-hour statewide hotlines: 1-866-841-6247 for domestic violence and 1-800-277-5570 for sexual violence. Services are always free and confidential.

Why did Sen. Forrester go to such lengths to suppress student vote?

To the editor, As a senior at the University of New Hampshire, and a resident of Holderness, I am writing to express my strong support for Bob Lamb to be our next state senator representing Senate District 2.

I’ve had the great opportunity to get to know Bob Lamb over the past few years, both as a leader in my community, and as a committed and dedicated candidate for the New Hampshire State Senate. Bob Lamb understands how important our university system is, and why it is essential that New Hampshire have an educated and trained workforce to grow New Hampshire’s economy. All of the demographic data strongly indicates that New Hampshire is suffering from a “brain drain”, where many of New Hampshire’s best and brightest end up leaving New Hampshire for other states with better job opportunities. Bob’s vision for New Hampshire is to look beyond the current election cycle, and to make long-term policy decisions that will keep graduating seniors like me from looking elsewhere to work and live.

Unfortunately, the current senator, Jeannie Forrester, has consis-

tently voted against students and the university system. Her vote to cut $50-million from the university and community college systems will hurt our state for years to come. New Hampshire students have among the highest student loan debt in the country, with the average student having $30,000.00 in student loan debt. That is simply unacceptable, particularly in a difficult job market.

In addition, Senator Jeannie Forrester supported the ALEC-promoted and unnecessary Voter ID Law that is making it so difficult for students, seniors and minorities to vote. I cannot fathom why Senator Forrester has to gone to such lengths to suppress the rights of our citizens to vote, one of the core principals of representative government.

We need a fresh face in Concord, and a senator who will represent our interests, and not those of party bosses like Speaker O’Brien and outof-state interests.

Please join me in voting for Bob Lamb on November 6.

LETTERS People need to stop blaming Pres. Obama, he cannot do it alone To the editor, Just because some people are rich doesn’t entitle them to not pay their share of taxes and not tell the truth about how much money the have. If they can’t be truthful about that, what else are they hiding?

Romney says that he doesn’t have to worry about some Americans. Well we want a president who worries about all Americans, not just the rich ones.

Someone who cares about veterans sleeping under the bridge, families sleeping in tents, seniors living in fear, people who can’t afford glasses or get their teeth filled because there is no longer any help to pay for it.

Most of the us have worked all all our lives, sometimes two and three jobs. We are also entitled to our Social Security and Medicare because we paid for it! So where does this guy get off saying we aren’t? We are entitled to our cost of living raises too. If we got that we might not need food stamps. The government gives out food stamps, then complains about it. You people enable citizens to get on these programs instead of telling them to go to work. Who’s fault is it? The people retired and on Social Security need the help more at times, as they can’t work! They are the ones

who are entitled. Stop giving checks to people who never paid in, and people who aren’t legal. That should save some money. Do as you said years ago — only give welfare to the first child then no more ever! Put the mother to work and pay for daycare. Then let her pay for the daycare and get off her welfare.

(Sound to simple?) Having a woman with seven children on welfare is way to many. Didn’t anyone at the welfare office notice or did they just give her more money? We don’t need to stop the programs we need to make sure people are using them correctly.

People need to stop blaming Obama and stop and think. He can’t do it alone. Congress has to help and they fight him all the way. The Senate too! Put the blame where it should be. That place has to be cleaned out and filled with new people. Two year terms only for both. They have plenty of money, they’ll be fine. They probably spend more money on TV ads then N.H. spends on food stamps. That money could have helped a lot of poor people and started a few companies for jobs. Especially Bass and Kuster.

Thank you.

Democrats left a $17M surplus at end of last N.H. biennium To the editor, In response to Mr. David Horvath’s recent letter claiming that former representatives Bill Johnson and Kate Miller contributed to a budget deficit, it bears repeating once again that Democrats did not leave New Hampshire with a deficit at all. The Democratic majority left the state with a $17-million surplus at the end of the last biennium. The proof that the Democrats left a surplus is that the current House majority tried to put the surplus into the Rainy Day Fund through House Bill 1652.

Mr. Horvath also accuses Bill Johnson and Kate Miller of enacting new

taxes. He’s got the facts wrong since every single tax revenue source in New Hampshire was enacted by Republican majorities. Further, the newest fee in place, enacted through House Bill 433 of 2009 to fund the health care facility acquired infections program, was sponsored entirely

by Republicans.

Both Bill Johnson and Kate Miller served their constituents responsibly and with distinction, and both deserve to be returned to Concord next month.

I ask for your vote to re-elect me Grafton County Treasurer To the editor, Dear Grafton County taxpayers: I am running for re-election as Grafton County Treasurer. I would sincerely appreciate your vote on November 6.

The County Treasurer is essentially the county tax collector and has the responsibility to invest the tax collections from all the towns and one city in Grafton County in the best way possible. With interest rates at an all-time low and the Grafton County tax rate at an all-time high, this is a demanding task. I place priority on trying to give taxpayers the best return on the tax dollars entrusted to the County Treasurer’s care.

I am a landowner in Plymouth and pay real estate taxes as we all do. My concern has always been for the taxpayer and I strive to see our tax dollars handled in a timely and efficient manner. I am running

for re-election to continue the responsibility and reliability I have provided the citizens of Grafton County over the last quarter century, as County Treasurer for eight years and Registrar of Deeds for 16 years.

In addition to public service to Grafton County, I have also served the Town of Plymouth as Treasurer for 11 years. I am currently Treasurer of the Plymouth Village Water and Sewer District and have served in that position for six years.

The County Treasurer must be accessible, responsible, a good manager, and experienced in handling finances. Regardless of your political affiliation, if you consider experience and a good track record vital, I would ask for your vote on November 6 for Grafton County Treasurer.

CHAVEZ from page 2 drive prices higher and could worsen scarcities, economists say.

“Investment in social issues is great, but he needs to do other things as well that are going to make that economy more productive,” said Gamarra.

Venezuela’s economy grew by 5 percent this year but only because of government spending, primarily on raising salaries for many of the country’s at least 2.4 million public employees and paying for thousands of new homes that Chavez is giving away, said Joao Pedro Ribeiro, an economist at Roubini Global Economics in New York.

“We think the outlook for the short term is very bleak,” he said, with eco-

nomic growth at about 2 percent next year and “inflation spiking to 30 percent.”

The black market value of the Venezuelan bolivar, whose official value is set by the government, was double the official rate in July. It is now triple the official rate.

At the heart of Chavez’s economic challenges is declining productivity in the oil industry, which accounts for 95 percent of exports and funds Chavez’s social programs. Governing the country with the world’s largest proven oil reserves has so far insulated Chavez from the fallout of his confrontational polices, including a drop in foreign investment. see next page

4 walk away from head-on collision MEREDITH — Four people walked away from a head-on collision on Daniel Webster Highway (Rte. 3 South) yesterday afternoon.

Police said Stephen Poehler of Meredith was driving north toward Meredith Village near Latchkey Lane in a maroon full-sized Ford van when he crossed the center line.

He was hit head on by Gary Jardine of Merrimack who was driving a Toyota Sienna and headed toward Laconia.

The Ford van continued on Route 3 and went down an embankment near Griddle in the Middle restaurant, striking a guide cable for a utility pole. The Sienna came to rest in the middle of Route 3.

Fire Capt. Jay Haines said he was

on the first truck that arrived and all four people — two in each vehicle — were able to get out of their respective vehicles without assistance.

Haines said all four people were evaluated by Meredith Fire Department personnel and left with either friends or relatives.

Aside from traffic, Haines said there were a few tense moments when first responders realized the guide wire was on top of live electrical wires.

“Fortunately it was grounded,” he said.

He said workers from the New Hampshire Electric Coop responded and fixed the guide line. He said there was no power outage.

Police continue to investigate.

Northfield driver charged with bumping trooper

Your journey to living pain-free!

CONCORD — A Northfield woman is charged with felony reckless conduct after she drove away from a traffic stop and the outside mirror of her car stuck a N.H. State Trooper.

State police said Sgt. William Graham saw Angel Smith, 32, of Northfield made an illegal turn on a red light while she was on South Street in Concord.

Graham stopped Smith who he said was unable to produce a drivers license. Graham determined Smith allegedly gave him a false name and date of birth.

When Graham confronted her with the information, she allegedly accelerated and Graham was hit in the arm.

He was not injured and after a short chase, Smith jumped a curb at the intersection of South and Monroe Streets and fled on foot.

Graham and trooper Stanley Dombrowski apprehended Smith in a backyard on South Street.

She is also charged with disobeying a police officer, resisting arrest and reckless driving. She was released on bail and given a court date of December 10 in the 6th Circuit Court, Concord Division.

A passenger in Smith’s Dodge Caravan, Shaun White, 33, of Concord, was arrested by Concord Police on an outstanding warrant.

For midway workers the fair never really ends

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANDWICH — Garfield - that’s all the name he would offer — was 14 when he first started working games at fairs.

“I was the oldest of five boys. Somebody had to work and make money,” he says.

That was more than three decades ago. He left his home in Everett, Mass., hit the road and hasn’t stopped working the circuit of fairs around the country. For Columbus Day weekend, that circuit brings him through New Hampshire, where he is among the many other workers and entrepreneurs who create the midway of Sandwich Fair, transforming an open field into a hyper-stimulating blend of bright lights, games, rides and sounds. With each step fairgoers take through the midway, there’s another element competing for their attention — and their dollars.

“You want to play one chance? It’s only a dollar,” Garfield calls to a passerby. While most turn down his offer, if they acknowledge him at all, some will smile and step up to the white line and peel a bill out of their pocket. The dollar buys an attempt to toss a basketball through a hoop. If successful, the contestant wins his or her choice of prize among the array of large stuffed animals.

When he started in the business, he was an employee of another businessman, earning a percentage of every dollar he could coax out of those who walked past his station. Over the years, he’s worked every angle of the business. “I can work any game, ride or food. I’ve done at least a hundred different rides. I’ve worked every game from water gun races to break-a-bottle to basketball. I cooked sausages and made fried dough.” Now, he and his wife, who he met on the fair circuit, own three different games. While he was in Sandwich, she was working the crowds in Toppsfield, Mass.

“It’s a tough business. People think you just come out here and make money,” Garfield offered.

For the dozens of independent operators at the midway, he said, there’s no guarantee of profit. Compared to the earlier years of his career, he said, “It’s harder to make money, people don’t want to give it up.”

Meanwhile, his costs keep increasing — fuel, labor, and prizes. “It ain’t cheap. It costs us to be here.”

Vendors have to pay for the opportunity to set up at the fair. Garfield wouldn’t reveal how much it costs him to rent a space at the Sandwich Fair, but said he often won’t break even on his investment until the last day of a 3-day festival — and that’s with good weather. If it rains all weekend, he could take a

loss. “Some weeks you work for nothing. Some weeks you go in the hole.” That’s why, when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are thick, Garfield implores fairgoers until his voice is hoarse.

“You’re better off here than the lottery — who’s next? Open nets!”

Sometimes, he said, he’ll bark to hundreds of people before he gets a player. “If you let it bother you, you’ll never make any money... If you’re quiet, people won’t come to you.” The secret to barking — calling out to people and convincing them to try his game — is to try and engage specific individuals, rather than calling out to the crowd at large.

“I’m a showman, I’m not a carnie,” he said, explaining that his role was a kind of performance. “You’ve got to have a smile no matter how bad it is.”

Helping his business case is the use of “practice rims,” which feature a more restrictive hoop than regulation size. At a previous fair, players on the renowned University of Connecticut women’s basketball team each took a shot — and only three won a prize. Sunday night, though, a “little old lady” utilizing the underhand technique took home a stuffed animal after only paying one dollar. Trying to be nice, Garfield had let her cheat. Instead of requiring her to stand behind the white line, he allowed her to walk as close to the hoop as she could get. His generosity was rewarded by seeing a $10 item walk away for only a $1 contribution.

At a dollar per attempt, Garfield says he’s the cheapest fun at the fair. He keeps that price though his costs keep rising, he said, because it gives him a competitive advantage over the other games. Some will refuse to pony up for a $5 game, he said, “but they’ll come down here and give me a dollar five times.”

After leaving the Sandwich Fair, Garfield will head to the southern states, where fair season is just beginning. Augusta, Ga., Tallahassee, Fla., and then a fair in Albany, Ga. He’ll sell Christmas trees once the holidays come around. In February, Garfield heads to New Orleans to sell concessions during Mardi Gras. “I like traveling. I can’t stand to be in one place for more than a week or so,” he said.

Then, turning to a passing group of teenage girls, “You ready ladies? We’re letting you cheat today, and it’s only a dollar!”

The Dental Implant Option If you have contemplated dental implants as a choice for replacing one or more missing teeth, here are a few things you should know. First, dental implants are an excellent option for tooth replacement. Restorations built on implants look and feel like your natural teeth, so they allow you to eat and speak with comfort and confidence.

Second, implants are not for everyone.

You need to be in generally good health and have adequate bone (size, shape, and location) to support the implant. If you are losing your teeth to gum disease, don’t despair – dental implants are generally resistant to gum disease.

The success rate of implants is high assuming an ongoing commitment to professional oral hygiene services and to thorough, effective homecare. Finally, implants involve surgical procedures and require multiple visits for completion of the restorative work. The entire treatment from start to finish may take from 6 months to a year, so you must have patience. Dr. Felt has more than 25 years of experience in placing and restoring dental implants. Ask about putting this technology to work for you.

GRAYING from page one aging of the population, contributes to shrinking the workforce required to sustain and expand manufacturing and professional employment, which supports a balanced demographic and dynamic economy.

Between 2000 and 2010, while the population of the county rose by 6.5-percent the age group younger than 18 fell nearly as fast, 6.3-percent, to diminish from almost a quarter to barely a fifth of the population. Meanwhile, the median age increased from 40.1 to 44.7.

The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies projects that those over 65 will represent 37-percent of the Belknap County population by 2030, the second largest share of senior citizens among the 10 counties.

During the decade, the number of housing units increased by 16.4 percent, two-and-a-half times the pace of the population, with seasonal homes accounting for 22 percent of the growth. In Laconia, the only municipality in the county where the population shrank, the number of housing units swelled by 16 percent and almost two of every three new units were seasonal homes. In 2010, seasonal homes represented 28-percent of the housing stock in the county. Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research expects that many of these seasonal homes will become year round residences when their owners retire.

Roche expects the migration of retirees to the Lakes Region to continue at a brisk pace, providing a boon for the real estate, home building, retail trade and hospitality sectors of the regional economy. He said that for the first time in his career the region is blessed by “pure demographics,” which promise growth and prosperity for the next 10 years. At the same time, he observed that this pattern of growth is in keeping with the social character and natural environment of the region. “It’s who we are,” he declared.

Without discounting the impetus retiring “Baby Boomers” will lend the regional economy, others doubt it will be sufficient to either foster or ensure long-term prosperity. That is why the Belknap County Economic Development Council, has made taking steps to “to balance Belknap County’s demographics to build a more sustainable economic and social environment” the theme of its strategic plan. More particularly, Carmen Lorentz, executive director of the BCEDC, stressed the importance of developing the skilled workforce required by the manufacturing and health care sectors.

Although the region has long been a haven for seasonal residents and visitors, wealth and income has remained relatively low. When the Center for Public Policy Studies (NHCPPS) divided municipalities into five “wealth clusters”, none of the eleven in Belknap County ranked among the wealthiest while three fell among the poorest, three among the next poorest, three among the middle and two among the second wealthiest. According to data compiled by the United States Census Bureau, in 2010 median

household income exceeded the state average only in Barnstead and Gilmanton while the median household income in Laconia of $46,027 was less than three-quarters of the state average. Likewise, the poverty rate in Belknap County — 9.3 percent — in above the state average of 8.2 percent.

The sectors most sensitive to both the aging demographic and tourist visits account for about 45 percent of jobs in the county, with the retail and hospitality industries representing more than a third of all employment. In 2010, the average weekly wage was $481 in retailing and $348 in hospitality, compared to the average for all jobs of $687.

By contrast, in 2010 manufacturers represented less than 10-percent of total employment in the county , but paid average weekly wages of $935, 136 percent of the average for all jobs, twice the average in retailing and more than two-and-a-half times the average in the hospitality industry. Last year, the NHCPPS reported that in 2010 advanced manufacturing and high technology firms, which employ skilled labor to produce components and assemblies, contributed $18.5 billion to the gross state product while compared to the $4.2 billion generated by tourism.

Lorentz emphasized that a significant number of manufacturers, including advanced manufacturers like New Hampshire Ball Bearing, Inc., Eptam Plastics, Inc., Titeflex Corporation, EFI, Inc., Stamping Technologies and Freudenberg-NOK as well as a number of smaller machine shops, operate in the Lakes Region. She said that because all are challenged by the dearth of skilled workers, various state, regional and local initiatives are underway to develop the workforce to enable them to continue expanding their output and payrolls.

Likewise, Lorentz said that LRGHealthcare is another significant anchor of the regional economy challenged by demographics. The health care sector, which includes social assistance, provides about 13-percent of employment in the region, with the 1,200 jobs at LRGH paying among the highest wages. Altogether average weekly wages in health care and social services, are about 30-percent above the average paid in the county.

Meanwhile, In Belknap County 77 percent of adults have health insurance, compared to 89 percent across the state, which reflects the relatively high proportion of jobs paying low wages and offering meager benefits. Furthermore, the NHCPPS found that 12.5 percent of those 65 and older live in poverty, the largest share of any of the 10 counties.

As a result, LRGH treats a disproportionate share of Medicaid patients, for reimbursement represents 15 percent less than costs, as well as provides some $7-million in charitable services.

Retirees and tourists will continue to flock to the Lakes Region, very likely as Roche forecats in growing numbers, without encouragement or incentives from policymakers. Addressing the challenges facing the manufacturing and health care sectors may prove a more a more difficult task.

‘Suspicious’ fire leaves 2 Franklin families homeless FRANKLIN — Firefighters, police and the Office of the N.H. Fire Marshall are investigating a fire Friday afternoon blaze at 4 Pleasant Street.

Fire Chief Kevin LaChapelle said the department was called at 5:33 p.m. and found a fire on the first floor of the two story apartment building.

He said eight animals were rescued from the building but no one was home when the fire department responded. One person was treated at the fire for a foot laceration.

It took about one-half hour to get the blaze fully under control. The first-alarm fire brought firefight-

ers from Tilton-Northfield, Sanbornton, Hill, East Andover, Belmont and Boscawen to either Pleasant Street or to Franklin for station coverage.

Fire Department officials said the building is owned by Peter Welch.

The “quick response of personnel played a major role in the knock-down of this fire,” said LaChapelle who said the cause of the blaze was suspicious.

LaChapelle said he called the Office of the Fire Marshall and firefighters remained at the building overnight for the investigation.

The Red Cross is assisting the two families.

Brother & sister charged in connection with Sept. 11 Tilton rollover TILTON — Police have charged two people in connection to a rolled-over vehicle found in a field near Tilton School around 10:30 p.m. on September 11.

John Raffaelly Jr., 30 of Tilton was charged with conduct after a accident and his sister, Angela Raffaelly, 23 was charged with hindering apprehension.

Police and firefighters responded to the crash when they were told about it by a neighbor who heard the crash. They found the car in a field about 200 yards off School Street, but no one was in it.

School Street was closed temporarily while police and fire searched for the driver.

COLLEGE from page 2 A white Texan, Abigail Fisher, sued the university after she was denied a spot in 2008.

The simplest explanation for why affirmative action is back on the court’s calendar so soon after its 2003 decision in Grutter v. Bollinger is that the author of that opinion, Sandra Day O’Connor, has retired. Her successor, Justice Samuel Alito, has been highly skeptical of any use of racial preference.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, a dissenter in the 2003 decision, probably holds the deciding vote, and he, too, has never voted in favor of racial preference.

As a result, said Supreme Court lawyer Thomas Goldstein, “No matter what the court does, it is quite likely that the UT program is going to be in big trouble.”

The challenge to the Texas plan has gained traction in part because the university has produced significant diversity by automatically offering about three-quarters of its spots to graduates in the top 10 percent of their Texas high schools, under a 1990s state law signed by then-Gov. George W. Bush. The admissions program has been changed so that now only the top 8 percent gain automatic admission.

More than eight in ten African-American and Latino students who enrolled at the flagship campus in Austin last year were automatically admitted, according to university statistics. Even among the rest, both sides acknowledge that the use of race is modest.

In all, black and Hispanic students made up more than a quarter of the incoming freshmen class.

White students constituted less than half the entering class when students with Asian backgrounds and other minorites were added in.

“For decades, the defense of racial preferences was, ‘We’d love to find a way to get diversity without using race, but it’s just not possible. There’s just no other way.’ And Texas found another way,” said Richard Kahlenburg, a senior fellow at the Century Foundation and prominent advocate of class-based affirmative action.

BIG BIRD from page 2 skinnier bird’s back and made scornful comments about Big Bird and the rest of the Sesame Street gang being “part of the 1 percent” thanks to lucrative merchandising revenue.

Boehner, who did not cross paths with the Big Bird wannabe, spoke for about five minutes inside the campaign office. He praised Romney’s debate performance, saying he “made the sale in a big way,” and smartly focused on “the economy, the economy and the economy.”

“The American people vote with their wallets,” he said.

“This is an election about getting the economy going again and getting the American people back to work.”

N.H. issuing vouchers for free voter ID cards CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire is issuing vouchers for free voter identification cards to people who don’t have acceptable photo identification under a new state law.

Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan said Monday that city and town clerks have the vouchers that can be taken to any state motor vehicles office to obtain a voter ID. Under the new law, voters must

show a photo ID or sign an affidavit at the polls Nov. 6.

Acceptable forms of photo identification for this election are: a driver’s license from any state even if expired, a non-driver photo ID issued by the state, a valid photo ID issued by federal, state, county or municipal government or any photo ID deemed legitimate by local election officials. Local election officials also can verify a voter’s identity.

SANDUSKY from page 2 One element of the appeal is expected to be a claim that the defense did not have time to adequately prepare for trial. Sandusky was charged in November, following a lengthy investigation.

Tom Kline, lawyer for a young man who said Sandusky groped him in a shower when he was 12 or 13, said his client plans to read a statement Tuesday.

“He’s going to tell the judge how this has affected him, how it’s been painful and difficult,” Kline said.

Lead prosecutor Joe McGettigan said as many as a half-dozen victims are expected to be heard.

The eight victims who testified against Sandusky at trial described abuse that ranged from grooming and fondling to oral and anal sex. Sandusky did not take the stand but gave interviews shortly after his arrest in which he declared he was not guilty.

Karl Rominger, another Sandusky defense lawyer, said the sentencing and a related proceeding to determine if Sandusky qualifies as a sexually violent predator under Pennsylvania’s version of Megan’s Law should take less than two hours.

Rominger said a 30-year minimum sentence — which would keep Sandusky behind bars at least until he’s nearly 100 — was probably the most the

defense could hope for.

Rominger said on WHP radio that Sandusky knows the judge could impose a longer sentence if Sandusky insists he is innocent, but some offenses carry mandatory minimums that are likely to translate into an effective life sentence.

“Why worry about the niceties of pleasing the court when it won’t change your sentence?” Rominger said.

Along with Sandusky, prosecutors last year also arrested two Penn State administrators and charged them with lying to the grand jury that investigated Sandusky and failing to properly report suspected abuse. Tim Curley, the athletic director on leave, and Gary Schultz, a retired vice president for business and finance, deny the charges and await trial.

The case led to the firing of longtime head football coach Joe Paterno, who died from lung cancer in January, and the ouster of university President Graham Spanier, who remains a faculty member. Eight legal teams that represent at least 20 victims or other potential civil claimants have surfaced, and Penn State has indicated its desire to settle claims out of court.

After Tuesday’s sentencing hearing, Sandusky most likely would be sent to Camp Hill state prison.

Since 2002 the Auxiliary has “teamed up” with the LRGHealthcare Breast Health Program to provide support and education for women facing Breast cancer. The plan includes a project to provide “Com-

fort Bags”, containing supplies to assist with education and recovery from Breast Cancer surgery. Over $50,000 in that time period has been raised by the Auxiliary craft fair to provide the “Comfort Bags”.

Members of the group include Zeke Martin, drum and band leader; Scott Tarulli on guitar, Tucker Antell on sax and Daniel Day on bass.

Born in Brussels in 1973, Zeke Martin entered the world with a pair of drumsticks in his hands. Influenced by his father, Stu Martin, who played with Jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Charles Mingus, Dave Holland and Quincy Jones, Zeke’s unique and soulful style has enabled him to secure endorse-

ment deals with Creation Drums, Murat Diril Cymbals, Evans Drumheads, Mono Cases and Vic Firth Sticks.

The Zeke Martin Project has performed in many locations throughout the Northeast, including the Berklee Performance Center, The House Of Blues in Boston, The Black Repertory Theater in RI, Minton’s Playhouse and Sweet Rhythm, in NYC and tours Malaysia yearly.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis thing on their own. Your words will sketch the outline of what is too huge to convey.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Because you feel a bond with others, you also feel that it’s your responsibility to help those who do not have such a strong connection. You’ll reach out to the lonely and make a difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

It is once again time for you to make a mark. As your Sagittarian sign mate Jakob Dylan sings, “Eyes on the prize, reboot the mission. I lost my sight, but not the vision.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You’ll lighten up and mentally brush off some of the smaller goof-ups you’ve made. By mentally minimizing your mistakes, you celebrate the ways you are alive and human.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Creative juices are flowing. You’ll be moved to regale someone with personal stories, and you may feel free to make them up, as well. Your fiction is harmless and humorous.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Those who embark on long journeys deserve to arrive at a satisfying destination.

Whether you’re the host or the traveler, this will be important to keep in mind.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 9).

Compelled to create, you’ll express yourself often and fully this year.

Whether or not you receive accolades for your creations is irrelevant, and yet you can’t help but bask in the applause in November and enjoy the extra money in May. Family additions happen in December. June brings travel. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 15, 39, 24 and 17.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will be lucky when you go to a place that makes you uncomfortable. Being a bit on edge sharpens your reflexes and makes you use your talents in different ways.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). J.R.R. Tolkien suggested, “It’s a dangerous business going out your front door.”

However, you will find just as much danger -- and excitement -- from the comfort of your couch, thanks to the magic of technology.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be remarkably dedicated, provided the obstacles are cleared from your schedule. Given the time and opportunity, you will practice until you are better and repeat until it’s effortless to create the result you desire.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When people are not listening, it is very tempting to get louder and talk more.

You wisely do the opposite. By getting quieter and talking less, you learn what you need to know in order to get people to listen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You belong to a group of people who care about something. Maybe it’s not a formal group, and it might not even be a very big group, but it’s a strong group, and that you can be proud of.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel like you are pitching forward in a kind of controlled fall. So it might comfort you to know that on some subconscious level you know exactly what you are doing and you have a great deal of power over the result.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There is no substitute for experience, but the stories you share will be as close as some people get to doing a certain

There is an opening reception on Friday, October 12 from 5-8 p.m. at The Studio, featuring experimental sound performance by Altemus and other musicians. The public is invited and encouraged to come see this unusual and intriguing work and speak with the artist. The exhibit runs through November 3.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I want to share my story of depression -- and hope -- so that it might help others.

I’m nearly 50 now, but only recently did I recognize the depression that has plagued my life. I had the symptoms for decades: bursts of anger, loss of appetite, lack of interest in work and activities, avoiding people, constantly thinking about death. A few years ago, it hit me hard. For weeks, I couldn’t leave my bed, and suicidal thoughts filled my mind. I was a “dead man walking.” My emotions were burned away, and I saw no point in living.

Finally, I began seeing a therapist on a weekly basis. Progress was slow, but each bit of relief was a stepping-stone out of the darkness. I learned that you have to look after yourself.

Overworking, not eating right, lack of exercise, not enough sunshine and cutting yourself off from social situations all feed depression. If you can get out of bed and get out the door -- if only for a little while -- that’s a major thing.

National Depression Screening Day is Thursday, October 11. I recently found out about it from a friend. I wish I’d known about it years ago and taken a screening. Readers can go to HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org and find a nearby screening location or take a free, anonymous screening online. They also can find out what to do next.

I’m alive today because I managed to get help in time, but I lost years of real living before I understood that I had depression. I strongly urge anyone reading this who even suspects they might have depression to do a screening. Sincerely -- Mike Stephens Dear Mike: Thank you for sharing your story. Depression affects millions of Americans from all walks of life and all demographics. National Depression Screening Day can be enormously helpful for those who are concerned about de-

pression. We hope our readers will check HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to find out about a screening.

Dear Annie: What do I tip when eating at a buffet where the server takes the drink orders but does nothing else? What about at a Japanese restaurant where the server takes our orders and serves the meal, but the sushi chef prepares the food?

Our favorite Japanese place has a tip jar at the sushi bar. I feel a tip should be left for both the server and the chef, but I don’t know how to divide it. I was told that the sushi chefs keep their tips and the others are split. I’d appreciate some guidance. -- Liz Dear Liz: At a buffet, etiquette experts recommend a 10 percent tip (on the pre-tax amount) because the server takes drink orders and clears the table. If you sit at a sushi bar where the food is served directly to you, tip the chef on the food and the server on your drinks. If the server brings you the food, tip the server. Tip jars, whether at a sushi bar or a coffee shop, do not obligate you to leave anything. However, if the service (or sushi) was exceptional or complicated, or if you are a regular customer, you may wish to do so.

Dear Annie: I would like to respond to “The Drunk’s Wife.”

My 67-year-old husband came home many nights so drunk he could barely stand up. After putting up with this for 40 years, I finally had enough. I told him that I loved him, but the next time it happened, I’d be gone. Two weeks later, he came home toasted, and I packed a bag and left. He called all night, begging me to come back. The following day, we talked. I said I’d return, but there would be no more second chances.

He knew I meant it. That was two years ago. He hasn’t been drunk since, and our marriage is better than ever. -- Stuck to My Guns
