Well-armed homeless man arrested in woods by cemetery

LACONIA — Police arrested a homeless man yesterday who allegedly ran toward officers carrying a three-inch knife.

Capt. Matt Canfield said they were notified that Jeffrey Fleck was living in a make-shift shelter in the woods off from the Garfield Street entrance in Union Cemetery and that he allegedly had a shotgun in his possession. see ARMED page 16

County reverses course, accepts Humvee

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners reversed themselves Wednesday morning, voting 2-1 to approve a request from the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department to take possession of a free surplus Humvee.

The vote was exactly the reverse of what it was two weeks ago, with Commissioners John Thomas and Stephen Nedeau voting in favor of the request and Com-

mission Chairman Ed Philpot opposed.

The decision came after Sheriff Craig Wiggin asked for a reconsideration of the vote and pointed out that concerns expressed over the long-term cost to the county of acquiring the military surplus vehicle were unfounded, as both replacement tires and parts are available free of charge at Fort Devens, Mass..

He said the Humvee has a military grade diesel engine and that routine see HUMVEE page 13

New York struggles to find its way 2 days after killer storm NEW YORK (AP) — Flights resumed, but slowly.

The New York Stock Exchange got back to business, but on generator power. And with the subways still down, great numbers of people walked across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan in a reverse of the exodus of 9/11.

Two days after Superstorm Sandy rampaged across the Northeast, killing at least 72 people, New York struggled Wednesday to find its way. Swaths of the city were still without power, and all of it was torn from its daily rhythms.

At luxury hotels and drugstores and Starbucks shops that bubbled back to life, people clustered around outlets and electrical strips, desperate to recharge their phones. In the Meatpacking District of Manhattan, a line of people filled pails with water from a fire hydrant. Two children used jack-o’-lantern trick-or-treat buckets.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that parts of the subway would begin running again Thursday, and that three of seven tunnels under the East River had been

pumped free of water, removing a major obstacle to restoring full service.

“We are going to need some patience and some tolerance,” he said.

On Wednesday, both were frayed. Bus service was free but delayed, and New Yorkers jammed on, crowding buses so heavily that they skipped stops and rolled past hordes of waiting passengers.

New York City buses serve 2.3 million people on an average day, and two days after the storm they were trying to handle many of the 5.5 million daily subway riders, too.

As far west as Wisconsin and south to the Carolinas, more than 6 million homes and businesses were still without power, including about 650,000 in New York City, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.

The mayor said 500 patients were being evacuated from Bellevue Hospital because of storm damage. The hospital has run on generators since the storm. About 300 patients were evacuated from another Manhattan hospital Monday after it lost generator power.

Bloomberg also canceled school the rest of the week, and the Brooklyn Nets, who just moved from New Jersey, scratched their home opener against the Knicks on Thursday.

Still, there were signs that New York was flickering back to life and wasn’t as isolated as it was a day earlier.

Flights resumed at Kennedy and Newark airports on what authorities described as a very limited schedule. Nothing was taking off or landing at LaGuardia, which suffered far worse damage.

Amtrak said trains will start running in and out of New York again on Friday.

The stock exchange, operating on backup generators, came back to life after its first two-day weather shutdown since the blizzard of 1888. Mayor Michael Bloomberg rang the opening bell to whoops from traders below.

“We jokingly said this morning we may be the only building south of midtown that has water, lights and see NEW YORK page 18

BRIGANTINE, N.J. (AP) — President Barack Obama soberly toured the destruction wrought by superstorm Sandy on Wednesday in the company of New Jersey’s Republican governor and assured victims “we will not quit” until cleanup and recovery are complete. Six days before their hard-fought election, rival Mitt Romney muted criticism of Obama as he barnstormed battleground Florida.

Forsaking partisan politics for the third day in a row, the president helicoptered with Gov. Chris Christie over washed-out roads, flooded homes,

boardwalks bobbing in the ocean and, in Seaside Heights, a fire still burning after ruining about eight structures.

Back on the ground, the president introduced one local woman to “my guy Craig Fugate.” In a plainspoken demonstration of the power of the presidency, Obama instructed the man at the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a 7,500-employee federal agency, to “make sure she gets the help she needs” immediately.

Despite the tour and Romney’s own expressions of

sympathy for storm victims — a break on the surface from heated campaigning — a controversy as heated as any in the long, intense struggle for the White House flared over the Republican challenger’s new television and radio ads in Ohio.

“Desperation,” Vice President Joe Biden said of the broadcast claims that suggested automakers General Motors and Chrysler are adding jobs in China at the expense of workers in the bellwether state.

“One of the most flagrantly dishonest ads I can ever see NEW JERSEY page 12

BEIJING (AP) — A government think tank is urging Chinese leaders to start phasing out China’s one-child policy immediately and allow two children for every family by 2015, a daring proposal to do away with the unpopular policy.

Some demographers see the timeline put forward by the China Development Research Foundation as a bold move by the body close to the central leadership. Others warn that the gradual approach, if implemented, would still be insufficient to help correct the problems that China’s strict birth limits have created.

Xie Meng, a press affairs official with the foundation, said the final version of the report will be released “in a week or two.” But Chinese state media have been given advance copies. The official Xinhua News Agency said the foundation recommends a two-child policy in some provinces from this year and a nationwide two-child policy by 2015. It proposes all birth limits be dropped by 2020, Xinhua reported.

“China has paid a huge political and social cost for the policy, as it has resulted in social conflict, high see CHINA page 10

Microburst hits Webster Lake area

FRANKLIN (AP) — The remnants of Superstorm Sandy have left their mark on Franklin.

At least two trees fell onto buildings near Webster Lake on Tuesday night after wind and rain picked up around 9 p.m. One house fell off its foundation.

Residents say many of the homes in the area are seasonal cottages and were empty when the winds came through.

WMUR-TV says no injuries have been reported.

A National Weather Service meteorologist says Franklin was hit by a “microburst” — in which thunderstorms and heavy rainfall pushed 70-knot winds at higher altitudes toward the ground.

LETTERS Mr Hosmer supports ObamaCare, a small business job killer To the editor, As a business owner I would like to suggest to my fellow voters the following analysis. Andrew Hosmer has promoted his job creating philosophy as one that doubles the R&D tax credit for businesses here in N.H. I am part owner in one of those businesses that use the R&D tax credit. So you might think that I really want Andrew to win. WRONG! The problem I have with Mr. Hosmers’ platform (although I like him as a person) is that it is based on politics. He does not favor a level playing field for all businesses.

The role of the state government should not be to pick the winners and the losers.

Josh Youseff’s plan to eliminate, in its entirety, the Business Profits Tax and the Business Enterprise Tax is the answer. Most people do not understand the Business Enterprise Tax. It is a tax on the wages you pay your employees. It is an income tax that the state makes the EMPLOYERS

pay. So we do have an income tax! By eliminating this tax you will attract more businesses.

The Business Profits Tax is also a loophole that some business can avoid and others get caught by. Large C Corp type businesses pay this while smaller business just distribute the profit as wages, bonuses and dividends. Over the years politicians have complicated the tax code with all these “job creating” credits and loopholes. Creating loopholes for some businesses and not others is politics as usual and we need a new breed of politician who will correct the problem not add to it!

In addition Mr. Hosmer supports ObamaCare. The taxes and fees on small business associated with ObamaCare is a job killer. I have no idea how someone could be pro jobs and pro ObamaCare, again politics as usual. If you want to put N.H. back to work and attract good jobs vote for Josh Youseff.

Barbara Aichinger Gilford

I’m grateful for the work Jeanie Forrester has done for our state To the editor, I am writing in support Jeanie Forrester. I am appalled at the negative letters, ads, and mail that I have seen against her, the misuse of facts and the out-and-out lies! There are more than I wish to address, but what I will say is that when Jeanie took office, the state had an $800+ million deficit.

The Democrats that were in office were very good at spending and even raising taxes, rooms and meals, campgrounds and LLC as well as trying to rob the malpractice fund created by hospitals and doctors to reduce insurance cost which ultimately results in lower costs to the patient. Jeanie and the other senators and legislators were faced with major problems and had to make tough choices because of the years of overspending and taxing approved by our Democrat Governor.

Some things had to be cut in the interest of keeping within our budget.

The Democrats always claim to have

more compassion but they never seem to have any compassion for the working people — the taxpayers. When the people working for the government and those receiving assistance outnumber the people paying taxes, the system will collapse.

I am a small contractor doing site work and repairs and remodeling to homes. I have seen what has happened to people’s incomes and lives with this bad economy which was caused by bad choices of politicians and bureaucrats and has been extended by bad choices of politicians and bureaucrats.

Fortunately New Hampshire elected good people November of 2010 and our state won’t go bankrupt!

I WILL VOTE FOR Jeanie Forrester this November and am grateful for the work she has done for our state and hope you will vote for her also!

Earl L. Leighton, Jr. Sanbornton

We need to improve the N.H. climate for business development To the editor, I am a candidate for State Representative in Carroll County District 4, which includes Tuftonboro, Moultonborough, and Sandwich.

I believe that the major issues are jobs and the economy and that was confirmed by the people I talked to while going from door to door. Our business taxes are some of the highest in the nation. We need to do a better job of attracting businesses to N.H. I believe that starts with reducing our corporate taxes which are some of the highest in the country. We also need to reduce job killing regulations, and pass Right to Work legislation.

Another part of getting our economy going is to make government affordable for businesses, but also for you and me. We cannot afford to go back to the excessive spending, borrowing, and budget gimmicks of the Democrat majority prior to 2010. I will work for fiscal responsibility in Concord.

I am also very interested in educa-

I have had to honor to serve on a N.H. House committee discussing possible legislation in the family and education areas. I support the concept of a constitutional amendment to get the courts out of education funding. I support local control of education and school-business partnerships, such as the North Country Workplace Education Program and the Inter-Operability Lab at UNH. I also support the school choice scholarship program funded by business tax credits.

I believe strongly that if we take the right steps to improve the climate for business development, control government spending, and address the high energy and health insurance, New Hampshire can lead the nation in an economic recovery.

We might not agree on every issue but you can count on my integrity and hard work. I ask for your vote on November 6th.

Glenn Cordelli Candidate for State Representative District 4

LETTERS Thought of Leandro or Worsman being elected is particularly scary To the editor, At this time of year, everyone is writing about who they are voting for in November. I have decided to write about who I am NOT voting for this year in the N.H. House District #2 and why. I will NOT be voting for Kevin Leandro, Bob Greemoore, or Colette Worsman and I encourage all rational and compassionate citizens of the district to do the same. While they bill themselves as simply fiscal conservatives these folks, are, in reality, conservative extremists who will continue the damage being done to this state by the current Legislature.

Ms. Worsman and Mr. Greemoore have already proven, as current legislators, that they support the meanspirited politics exemplified by this Legislature under the “leadership” of Speaker Bill Obrien. For example, they voted against funding for domestic violence programs in this state.

They also voted against funding for Children in Need of Services (CHINS) which helps young people who are “at risk.” To vote against such services for women and children is not just wrong, it’s downright mean! Also, as legislators, they voted to cut spending for our community college system, which is important to job development in this state.

Kevin Leandro does not have a legislative record but he certainly has a record as an extremist in the Town of Gilford. With no professional knowledge of firefighting, he led a ridiculous movement to deny the town a

new (and needed) fire truck. Although Mr. Leandro presents himself as a candidate who simply wants to save the taxpayers’ money, he actually cost Gilford over $16,000 by his participation in a highly frivolous lawsuit against the Gilford School Board not to mention what was spent by the fire department Furthermore, the prospect of Mr. Leandro or Ms. Worsman being elected to the N.H. House is particularly disturbing and scary because their campaigns have been endorsed

by Cornerstone N.H., an extreme conservative”think tank” that would take away a woman’s right to make her own reproductive decisions and that would outlaw same-sex marriage or even civil unions for gays and lesbians. Cornerstone has also lobbied against laws to protect gay and transgendered people from discrimination.

In fact, Cornerstone is so extremely homophobic that one of its former directors once told me that gay and lesbian teachers are a danger to children because, since they cannot reproduce (not precisely true when it comes to lesbians), they have to “recruit.”

Believe it or not, Cornerstone also believes that teaching kids about “safe sex” encourages STD infection!

Therefore, I will NOT be voting for these people. I will, instead, vote for Lisa DiMartino, Bill Johnson, Kate Miller, and Sandy Mucci who stand for everything these people are against.

E. Scott Cracraft Gilford

Libertarians who vote for Johnson are playing dangerous game To the editor, Are you a libertarian who plans to vote for Gary Johnson? Please reconsider. Obviously he is not a viable candidate; I wish he were but he’s not — Romney is. Being true to one’s principles is paramount but compromise in the pursuit of those principles is not the same as compromising principle. Without such compromise our Constitution never would have come into being.

New Hampshire is a swing state and it is quite possible that a handful of

futile Johnson votes could be responsible for four more years of Obama.

Permanent ObamaCare with an eventual single payer, dictatorial health care system, a possible shift in the Supreme Court that could render the Constitution meaningless, executive orders in lieu of legislative process.

Is that being true to your principles?

Think twice Johnson supporters. It’s a foolish wasted vote for the satisfaction of some specious consistency.

LETTERS $500 reward offered for bringing justice to Youssef-sign stealers

Martha Richards has been outstanding leader against Northern Pass

To the editor, To the person/people who have been stealing “Youssef for Senate” signs, this is a reminder that sign-stealing is illegal, not to mention a senseless, dirty-politics tactic. Hundreds of signs throughout District 7 are missing or flattened, and police departments have been notified. There are consequences to pay for these acts. I implore anyone who witnesses these violations to report them to your local police and to report them to me. I am offering a $500 reward to any person who provides information that leads to the arrest and successful prosecution of the sign theft culprits.

Josh is a candidate in District 7 to

To the editor, I am writing to express my strong support for Martha Richards in her candidacy for County Commissioner.

I urge you to join me in voting for Martha on November 6.

Martha Richards has been a superlative leader, both at the community and the county level. She along with a number of dedicated volunteers are largely responsible for the Grafton County delegation’s unanimous vote to build a biomass project that will save the county taxpayers literally thousands of dollars in energy costs over the life of the project. Martha has spent countless hours working on a variety of measures that will make county government more efficient and modern.

One of the hallmarks of a great leader is her ability to work with others in a bi-partisan manner to move New Hampshire forward.

help ALL citizens — to restore economic prosperity, fight for creation of jobs, to address reforming our broken health care system, to bring quality education solutions for a quality workforce, to provide property tax relief, and to always oppose new taxes — these are the issues that concern Josh.

I am requesting that if anyone would like a sign placed on your property to help Josh work for YOU in Concord, or to report a sign thief, please email me at fyoussef6@yahoo.com.

I would ask: who benefits from stealing campaign signs? Think about it.

Fouad Youssef Laconia

Youssef didn’t event respond to invite from forest & farm advocates To the editor, I recently attended a NH State Senate candidates’ forum on forestry, agriculture, energy and conservation issues.

I met Andrew Hosmer, candidate in the District 7 senate race. He was well studied on these issues, articulate and thoughtful in his responses. He came across as a very genuine individual, intent on serving all the constituents of his district. I was impressed.

In contrast, his opponent Josh Youssef apparently did not consider the forum and its audience of farm and forest advocates to be of sufficient importance to warrant his attendance. In fact, according to the forum

organizers, he did not even respond to the invitation despite having months to schedule it.

The new Senate District 7 includes two large communities, Laconia and Franklin, and many smaller rural towns characterized by broad expanses of well managed forestlands and diverse agricultural enterprises.

Voters in District 7 who care about our land, our clean water, renewable energy, local sources of food and wood products, wildlife and outdoor recreation would do well to support Andrew Hosmer.

Charlie Niebling Boscawen

Martha Richards is such a candidate.

Our county needs a county commissioner who has a track record of rolling up her sleeves and getting the job done. Martha Richard’s dedication and public service both as a county commissioner and an active member of the greater Plymouth community also deserves mention. And there is no question that Martha Richards has been an outstanding leader in the effort to stop Northern Pass.

We need a county commissioner to stand up for sound economic and budgetary policies in Haverhill. Martha Richards will fight for our interests as a county commissioner. For all of these reasons, and countless more, please vote for Martha Richards on November 6. Let’s return great leadership to county government.

Deb Reynolds Plymouth

I’ll be voting for Pres. Obama & Josh Youssef; let me explain why To the editor, I am a lifelong Democrat and will be voting for Obama.

I have known Josh Youssef, candidate for Senate in District 7, for quite a few years. I find Josh’s character exceptional and I know his hand is definitely on the pulse of New Hampshire. Josh founded his own business not that long ago and has developed it

into many franchises. He has proved himself a business success. I know that Josh will do his best to improve New Hampshire for everyone.

Please join me in voting for Josh Youssef for Senate in District 7 next Tuesday, November 6.

LETTERS Administration says ‘drive by shooting’ but it was an act of terror To the editor, On June 1 2009, uniformed Army Pvt. Andy Long was shot and killed in front of an Army recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Anther soldier was wounded, but It could have been worse, as there were about 15 other soldiers inside at the time. The gunman was Carlos Bledsoe, renamed Abdul-Hakim Mohammad, who was converted from a Christian Baptist background to radical Islam. This is the first case of murder by a homegrown Islamic Jihadist on American soil and the first successful fatal terrorist attack since 9/11. Abdul-Hakim, American born and raised, attended his “finishing school” during 16 months under Al-Quaida leadership in Yemen.

The saga of how all this happened can be viewed in a newly released fulllength movie (also on DVD) entitled, “Losing our Sons.” Both fathers lost their sons. One was murdered and the other was lost to radical Islam and will spend the rest of his life incarcerated without parole.

In keeping with Obama Administration policy, the attack was considered a “drive by shooting” rather than a terrorist attack. This matches the “workplace violence” classification of the Sept 20, 2009 Fort Hood massacre, killing 13 and wounding 32, perpetrated by Army Major Nidal Hasan. Victims of the massacre have been denied certain benefits due that would be forthcoming with a proper classification as a terrorist act. Our president, who bows to the Saudi King, would rather offend our own victims than offend Muslims.

Both perpetrators had the same link to Anwar-Awlaki, the top Al-Quaida operative killed in a drone air-strike on September 30, 2010, in Yemen.

The Little Rock saga is unique because the fathers of Andy Long and Carlos Bledsoe have teamed up to carry on a campaign to bring awareness of the danger to our country of some of the radical Islamic teach-

ing increasingly being taught in our nation today. Melvin Bledsoe, Carlos or Abdul-Hakim’s father, relates stepby-step how he observed his own son’s march toward radical Islam. Very unsettling are the video clips of radical Islam being taught in an open forum on campus at Tennessee State University and in a Mosque in Nashville.

The crucible for Abdul Hakim’s turn to radical Islam was his experience in college. His father noticed many changes in his son, even such things as the removal of all pictures from his room as is mandated by extreme Taliban edicts. Even his prized picture of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was taken down. No images are allowed to compete with Allah.

Together with Daris Long, Andy Long’s father, the pair forms an unusual tandem in this endeavor.

They have petitioned our government at many levels to recognize the threat for what it is and to properly classify Andy Long’s murder as a terrorist attack, but each effort has been rebuffed. The pair even testified before a Homeland Security committee and were rebuffed, even scoffed at. The policy comes from the top down and is evident at all levels. Our Pro-Muslim President will go to great lengths to protect the image of Islam. He was very hesitant to make any statement that would indicate that the Benghazi attack was a terrorist attack.

In a hand-written note to his prosecuting judge, Abdul-Hakim admitted to bombing a Nashville Rabbi’s home, shooting up a Little Rock Rabbi’s home and planning to shoot and kill military personnel in several states, a personal Jihad. He stated, “I don’t think it was murder because murder is when a person kills another person without justified reason and what I did is Islamic justified.”

Mr. President, I am outraged at your dangerous and biased policies concerning the matter at hand.

To the editor, Today as I sit and look at out my window and see the beautiful fall in our great state of New Hampshire, one thing comes to mind: how great we have it. But over the past two years something hasn’t been right and that was all the ultraextremist in our Statehouse. We need someone to balance our budgets while thinking about our children, while thinking of the cold winters that our citizens will go through year after year.

No one more is more qualified than Andrew Hosmer. Not only will he understand the issues we face today, he also understands how a true business should carry itself. I’ve had the privileged to have

To the editor, As a local elected official for the past nine years, I have been fortunate to get to know and work with a few elected N.H. State Senators from District 2.

I wish I could say this about our current N.H. District 2 Senator, Jeannie Forrester. She has been absent from the Town of Bristol and all its needs.

She has visited us once over the last two years and it was my invitation that directed that visit just after she was elected in 2010. Unfortunately, we have not heard from her since.

In a time where the Town of Bristol is about to experience a complete redesign and overhaul of our downtown she has been nowhere to be found. When we were constantly on the hunt for grants to complete the project, Senator Forrester was disengaged from our community and our needs.

This is why I am supporting Democratic candidate Bob Lamb for NH District 2 Senator. I have had the opportunity to spend time with Bob

known Hosmer for a while now and one thing I do know his character and integrity is impeccable. What you see is what you get there is no hidden agenda, and reputation is important we need someone that will go to Concord with a reputation of hard work and that will show other senators that there is no messing around with Andrew Hosmer when he is concord. Who you are and what you do with your life will carry in your work don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Also, please don’t forget to vote for President Barack Obama and Andrew Hosmer.

Shea-Porter opposes Medicare voucher plan & will stand for SS To the editor, I will vote for Carol Shea-Porter on November 6th. She stands behind the votes she cast as N.H. District 1 Representative in Congress from 2006-2010. For example, in 2010 she appeared before hostile crowds across the district to defend her vote for the Affordable Health Care for America Act (so-called ObamaCare). SheaPorter continues to support this bill that, among its many provisions, forbids insurance companies, as of 2014, to deny coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

In contrast to Shea-Porter’s openness, Frank Guinta says little about his 2010-2012 Congressional record.

Phone messages from his campaign even suggest that Shea-Porter is the

current representative. Mailings on his behalf feature pictures of SheaPorter and misrepresentations of her positions. They do not mention his votes to repeal ObamaCare and to pass the Ryan budget that would convert Medicare into a voucher system.

Guinta now says he will defend Social Security. In 2010, however, he said that “my kids... shouldn’t know what Social Security is.”

Shea-Porter opposes the Medicare voucher proposal and promises to fight any plan to endanger Social Security.

We will always know where SheaPorter stands. Please join me in voting for this open and honest woman to represent us in Congress.

and am greatly impressed with his desire to help get N.H. back on track.

His many successful years in the private sector will help him overcome many of the state’s current obstacles.

As we all know some of this practical business experience is needed as we head into the next biennium. Bob’s ability to read a budget and make common sense recommendations to fix it will be invaluable over the next two years. Bob has also committed to being more of a presence in the communities he represents. Just by agreeing to this as a candidate is more than our current senator has done on her own without an invitation.

Please help by sending Bob Lamb to Concord by voting for him on November 6th at the polls. When at work in Concord he will never forget about his constituents in Bristol and the Newfound region.

The only thing that gives people like me power in my right to vote To the editor, I am feeling especially powerless during this election season. I get asked regularly for small donations to many candidates, when I know that other candidates have thousands on up to millions pouring into their campaigns from various corporations and PACs. I read and hear falsehoods presented as facts. I see people who have been helped up by various gov-

ernment programs and agencies supporting candidates who want to stop government “involvement”. And I see people who appear to be ready to vote against what I believe are our own best interests.

LETTERS Here’s an example of a state law that defies common sense

Recall, Van Derven wanted to waste public money on ‘pigeon palace’

To the editor, When you listen to local business owners and hear the really erratic regulations that have been set upon them by the state, you wonder whose running the ship? It’s amazing to realize that as a logical person, who would want to make up these laws.

As one example, a local business has given their waste engine oil to the town so that the town can heat their large DPW garage almost for free — what a great plan! And this was a large quantity that benefits both that business and the town as it did not cost anything to get rid of the waste oil and the town has a great reduction in heating costs. BUT, a new law requires that the town can accept only 10 gallons or less (primarily from

To the editor, I read with interest a letter from Bruce Van Derven criticizing Representative Paul Simard in your October 26 issue. This is not the first time I have read criticism of Rep. Simard

by Mr. Van Derven.

Van Derven, a former Bristol selecman, resigned his position in a hail of criticism several years ago. It seems that Mr. Simard, serving on the Bristol Budget Committee, thwarted Van Derven’s plans to convert an abandoned manufacturing building into a Town Office. The building, vacant for several decades, was referred to as “the pigeon palace’ by local residents. After wasting tens of thousands of taxpayer dollars, the project was dropped. Since that time. Mr. Van Derven seems obsessed with belittling Mr. Simard.

I know Rep. Simard. I can assure you that he has been working hard to repreent the citizens of his district.

During the last session, Rep. Simard served on the Finance Committee, a hard working committee that often required seven days a week to accomplish its important task of formulating a balanced budget. This last session faced an $870 million budget deficit left by the previous session. The 20102011 session produced a balanced

a household) and guess who loses — both the business and the town! However, an additional concept was added to help (?). The business can give the oil to a middleman and the town can buy it from the same middleman.

That’s a great idea! Let’s add another distribution layer and add some costs so the town will pay more for the same waste oil that they have received for free in the past.

And you wonder why I want to go to Concord?

I’m an independent thinking conservative.

‘Restoring some tax cuts’ really means raising taxes once again To the editor, In just under two weeks we will go to the polls to cast our votes for governor.

Senator Maggie Hassan would like us to elect her for that office. However, while in the state Legislature, she supported dipping into our wallets, (also our children’s and our grandchildren’s wallet’s) for many additional and increased taxes in order to “balanced the budget.” She succeeded with a variety of smoke and mirror techniques that “Harry Houdini” would envy. In September 2012 in a newspaper article Senator Hassan was quoted as saying if elected she would

consider restoring some tax cuts the Republicans made in the state budget.

To “restore some tax cuts” means, to raise some taxes. Her support on raising taxes and other fiscal bills were so unacceptable to the people in her senatorial district, they voted her out of office. Now she is campaigning for governor. If her friends and neighbors would not return her to the state senate, I wonder by use of what marvelous “smoke and mirrors” she plans to convince voters in the rest of the state to elect her governor.

budget without resorting to gimmicks or borrowing.

Representative Simard was responsible for amending, in committee, the departments’ required maintenance budget submission to reflect a 10-percent decrease from the previous year. Rep. Simard also served on the Committees of Conference to iron out the differences between House and Senate versions of SB-326, governing the flood control reimbursements made to 18 N.H. communities. That committee requested the Attorney General’s Office to put the State of Massachusetts on legal notice that it was in default on its obligations to the communities of N.H. under RSA;’s 484:18 & 484:7. Rep. Simard also served on the Committee of Conference for medical marijuana, which was vetoed by Governor Lynch. Currently Rep. Simard is serving on the 361 Commission, charged with exploring the feasibility of providing underground energy corridors in the state’s rights of way.

No, Mr. VanDerven. Representative Simard is working hard for the citizens of his district and a cursory check of his record would have you told you this.

Maggie Hassan says she still believes in taking the JUA money To the editor, N.H. has an insurance company called the Joint Underwriters Association (JUA) that insures many of its practitioners and hospitals. In 2008, Senator Hassan and Governor Lynch attempted to “balance” N.H.’s budget by stealing $110 million from the JUA’s reserve fund. This fund was created to compensate our state’s citizens if they were injured by malpractice, but it was extremely overfunded.

Every penny in this fund was paid by the hospitals and practitioners who purchased policies and every policy sold promised to return any excess reserves to these policyholders. A legal battle ensued and Sen. Hassan and her cronies lost repeatedly in Superior Court, the N.H. Supreme Court and again in front of JLCAR when they attempted to rewrite the JUA rules in

yet another effort to steal this money.

Why did they lose? Because each court ruled the funds were private property. Private property held in a public institution, just like your IRA or your savings account. Why does this matter to you, many of whom don’t work in health care? Because Maggie Hassan is STILL saying she believes in taking this money, despite losing repeatedly in court. Politicians who support the theft of private property for the “public good” have no business holding public office. Without private property rights, we are not free Americans.

Ovide Lamontagne respects the private property rights of New Hampshire’s citizens and deserves our vote next week.

hard earned money. What really bothers me is how she is so proud of the new county prison she voted to build.

She states how she is proud that it is air-conditioned and that it has an art room. I would guess that the majority of Grafton County taxpayer’s houses do not have central air-conditioning nor do they have access to an art room. For the most part, the prisoners are guests of the county for less than one year.

Personally, I do not care if they sweat for a few months of the year.

Commissioner Omer Ahern would not have voted for central air-conditioning in the prison nor does he even have an air conditioner in his home, no less an art room. Sorry Martha, but my vote goes to Omer.

LETTERS Thinks could have been better in ‘08 but I’d go back to the future To the editor, Politicians are asking if we are better off now than we were four years ago. Since our family has lived in the same house, dealt with the same companies with the same services for years, I pulled our October, 2008 receipts so that I could make a comparison.

Our regular monthly bills including electricity, telephone, computer and television service, health insurance, and groceries, are $278 higher this month than in October, 2008. Gas is up $1.43 per gallon, a cord of wood is up $10, and propane is up$.42 per gallon with the costs of fuel recovery and hazmat higher by $6.15 per delivery. The property taxes for 2008 and 2011 showed that our property value took a nosedive, but our taxes increased by $1,449.

Aside from our decreased income, bank CD and money market interest is also down. In 2008 we found short term CD rates with 3-4 percent interest and now they are less than 1 percent, even though the local banks are

giving away money like it’s theirs!

Based on the economy alone, I can say that we are not better off now than four years ago and full time jobs with benefits are difficult to find.

Osama bin Laden is certainly dead, but that’s probably not so consoling for the families of the men who were just murdered in Libya, or the border patrol agent executed with guns sold to the Mexican drug cartels by the Obama Administration. GM is recovering, but again, probably not too consoling for previous stockholders or the small dealerships that were forced out of their successful businesses when Obama grabbed the car industry.

I thought things could have been better in 2008, but instead of staying our present course nationally, I would happily go back for the future.

That said, in addition to all Republicans running for N.H. state offices, I really hope that ROMNEY, RYAN and GUINTA also come out ahead on November 6.

We need people with reasonable & moderate views in Statehouse To the editor, It is time to elect men and women with reasonable and moderate views as representatives to the New Hampshire legislative body. The Democratic slate of David Huot, Charlie Smith, Chad Vaillancourt, Robert Fisher, Beth Arsenault, and Andrew Hosmer are such individuals who will seek a balanced approach to running the state.

The current Republican delegation has a single approach — which is to cut.

Their efforts in finding revenue sources have been poor at best. Evidence of their single-mindedness is as follows: — They voted to reduce the cigarette tax despite warnings that the cut would not benefit consumers. It cost the state $20 million in revenue.

— They supported cuts to the Highway Fund, which increased the reconstruction period from 15 to 25 years.

New Hampshire has 148 red listed bridges, including one in Belmont that

failed and cut the town in half.

— They supported cuts to the Department of Transportation which reduced lighting on the interstate highways and no lighting on bridges.

— Representative Accornero wants to cut the budget an additional 2 percent across the board and his Republican colleagues of Kingsbury, Luther, and Tilton are in alignment with his views.

The fact that New Hampshire’s economy was rated 10th in the nation when the current Legislature was convened in 2011 and has dropped to 34th in 2012 speaks to the need to change representation at the state level.

I encourage voters to cast their ballots for Dave Huot, Charlie Smith, Chad Vaillancourt, Robert Fisher, Beth Arsenault and Andrew Hosmer in November.

Marcia Hayward Laconia

Philpot has helped lead the way to dynamic county administration To the editor, Ed Philpot has made an enormous contribution to county government over the past four years. That is why we will be voting once again for Ed as county commissioner in the upcoming election.

Most people didn’t know much about county government prior to Ed’s tenure. But now with the inception of the County Conversations, all that has changed. Ed, as a county commissioner has worked collaboratively with the members of town and city governments to find out how the county could help; changing the conversation from “them” to “us.”

Just as Ed did on the Laconia School Board, he introduced the concept of strategic planning to the county. With a detailed plan in place, it becomes much easier to determine how to best spend taxpayer dollars.

And the county has spent our dollars in a very prudent manner keeping the tax impact of the county budget below what it had been in 2008.

But keeping the tax impact down has not prevented the county commissioners from progress. They have provided us with initiatives like the county-wide juvenile prosecutor and the innovative use of the inmate population. They completed a comprehensive facilities and program analysis which allowed them to accomplish $2.7 million in building improvements without local taxpayer impact.

They also completed hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of energy improvements by aggressively pursuing grant funding.

Ed Philpot has been a big part of this County Commission team. His vision and hard work have helped lead the way to a dynamic and responsive county administration. We look forward to having Ed continue his service which will benefit all of us. We encourage you to lend your support and vote for Ed Philpot on November 6.

Police report 2nd break-in at Dunkin’ Donuts on upper Union Ave. in 60 days

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — An undisclosed amount of money was stolen early Wednesday morning in a burglary at the Dunkin’ Donuts store on upper Union Avenue.

Police said they responded to the restaurant at 2 a.m. when the business alarm sounded.

Responding officer found an open door and, upon further investigation, determined the burglar or burglars entered the building and removed some money.

K-9 assistance was requested from Gilford Police.

The Daily Sun has learned that allegedly there were two males who entered

the building and it appeared they were able to get into the office. There was some minor damage to the office door.

On August 30 around 11:30 p.m. police responded to a burglar alarm at the same business. Police said it appeared a safe had been moved but they believed the alarm scared the two burglars before it could be removed from the building.

No arrests have been made in either burglary.

Laconia Police do not know if the two burglaries are related.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the anonymous Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

LACONIA — The New Hampshire State Troopers’ Association has endorsed Democratic State Senate District 7 candidate Andrew Hosmer of Laconia.

Hosmer is the general manager of AutoServ in Tilton and is a former prosecutor in Hampden County in Massacusetts.

“Andrew Hosmer has the trust of law enforcement because he has a record of standing up for public safety and supporting policies that help us

protect New Hampshire’s communities,” said association President Seth Cooper.

Hosmer said it is critically important for a state senator to work closely with law enforcement to make sure they have the tools they need to keep the citizens safe.

Newly formed District 7 is comprised of Laconia, Franklin, Gilford, Belmont, Webster, Northfield, Andover, Boscawen, Canterbury, Andover and Salisbury.

BELMONT — The Sierra Club has endorsed candidate Democrat George Condodemetraky of Belmont for one of the open seats in the state House election.

Condodemetraky, an engineer, is one of 35 New Hampshire candidates endorsed in houses races. He is the only endorsement in Belknap County.

Sierra Club recognized Condodemetraky’s concern about the state’s mountains, lakes, farmlands and seashores.

“The (endorsed) candidates showed their support for key environmental issues facing the state with creative problem solving, not business as usual political games,” said Jerry Curran, the political chair for the New Hampshire chapter.

Condodemetraky and Ron Cormier are the two Democratic candidates for House District 6. Dr. Charles Fink and Michael Sylvia are the two Republican candidates.

CHINA from page 2 administrative costs and led indirectly to a long-term gender imbalance at birth,” Xinhua said, citing the report.

But it remains unclear whether Chinese leaders are ready to take up the recommendations. China’s National Population and Family Planning Commission had no immediate comment on the report Wednesday.

Known to many as the one-child policy, China’s actual rules are more complicated. The government limits most urban couples to one child, and allows two children for rural families if their firstborn is a girl. Numerous other exceptions include looser rules for minority families and a two-child limit for parents who are themselves both singletons.

Cai Yong, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, said the report holds extra weight because the think tank is under the State Council, China’s Cabinet. He said he found it remarkable that state-backed demographers were willing to publicly propose such a detailed schedule and plan on how to get rid of China’s birth limits.

“That tells us at least that policy

change is inevitable, it’s coming,” said Cai, who was not involved in the drafting of the report but knows many of the experts who were. Cai is a visiting scholar at Fudan University in Shanghai. “It’s coming, but we cannot predict when exactly it will come.”

Adding to the uncertainty is a oncein-a-decade leadership transition that starts Nov. 8 and will see a new slate of top leaders installed by next spring.

Cai said the transition could keep population reform on the back burner or changes might be rushed through to help burnish the reputations of President Hu Jintao and Premier Wen Jiabao on their way out.

There has been growing speculation among Chinese media, experts and ordinary people about whether the government will soon relax the onechild policy — introduced in 1980 as a temporary measure to curb surging population growth — and allow more people to have two children.

Though the government credits the policy with preventing hundreds of millions of births and helping lift countless families out of poverty, it is reviled by many ordinary people.

Belmont Firehouse roof damaged by storm

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — Fire Chief David Parenti said one of the sheet metal roof panels on the firehouse became detached during Monday’s storm.

Parenti said he and his firefighters were inside the station when they heard a loud noise. He said they ran out and saw one of the 55-foot metal panels had lifted and was flapping in the wind.

“We had to go up and secure it,” Parenti said, noting that the panel was not completely detached and firefighters wanted to ensure it didn’t detach completely and fly away possibly hitting someone or something.

“Fortunately we have a ladder truck,” he said. Firefighters were able to secure the panel to prevent further damage.

Parenti said the metal roof is less than 10-years-old and is covered by a warranty.

“We called the roofer and he was here (Tuesday),” said Parenti.

He said the metal roof was installed over the old shingled roof and there was no water damage to the fire station.

This is the second time one of the metal roof panels has lifted and Parenti said the roofer will make some suggestions as to fixing the problem.

He said he would take the recommendations to the town administrator and the selectmen, likely before the next meeting on November 5.

As for storm damage, Parenti said one home on Timothy Lane was severely damaged by a falling tree. He said the homeowner is staying nearby with a family member.

NEW JERSEY from page 2 remember.”

Republicans were unrepentant as Romney struggled for a breakthrough in the Midwest.

“American taxpayers are on track to lose $25 billion as a result of President Obama’s handling of the auto bailout, and GM and Chrysler are expanding their production overseas,” said an emailed statement issued in the name of Republican running mate Paul Ryan.

The two storms — one inflicted by nature, the other whipped up by rival campaigns — were at opposite ends of a race nearing its end in a flurry of early balloting by millions of voters, unrelenting advertising and so many divergent polls that the result was confusion, not clarity.

National surveys make the race a

tight one for the popular vote, with Romney ahead by a statistically insignificant point or two in some, and Obama in others.

Both sides claim an advantage from battleground state soundings that also are tight. Obama’s aides contend he is ahead or tied in all of them, while Romney’s team counters that his campaign is expanding in its final days into what had long been deemed safe territory for the president in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Minnesota.

The storm added yet another element of uncertainty, as Obama spent a third straight day embracing his role as incumbent and Romney tried to tread lightly during a major East Coast disaster.

With increased tipping fees in place, city’s solid waste revenue experiences 35% jump from July-September

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers has reported that solid waste revenues rose and expenses fell during the first quarter of the new fiscal year, following an increase in tipping fees at the transfer station as of July 1.

Revenue of the first quarter of FY 2013 was $179,088 compared to $132,682 for the same period a year ago, and increase of $46,406 or 35-percent.

Myers said that the increase reflected the higher tipping fees.

Expenses for the transfer station, curbside collection and disposal at the Concord Regional Solid Waste Cooperative fell from $313,615 in the first quarter of 2011 to $274,649 in the same period this, a decrease of $38,966 or 12-percent. Myers said that he hoped a share of the reduced expenses could be attributed to increased recycling.

Earlier this year the City Council approved a recommendation by the Department of Public Works to raise tipping fees at the transfer station to match the cost of disposal in two annual increments, The

fee for loads of up to 100 pounds, approximately the equivalent of five bags of household trash, would be $5. Beginning on July 1, 2012 loads of more than 100 pounds would cost 3.5 cents a pound, or $60 a ton, calculated in increments of 20 pounds to match the calibration of the scale. On July 1, 2013 the rate for loads of more than 100 pounds would rise to 4.5 cents a pound or $90 a ton.

The council also approved a recommendation to limit the number of containers placed at the curbside beginning October 1. Single-family homes and duplexes, which had been allowed up to five containers, were limited to two containers a week while multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments, which had been allowed up to 10 containers, were limited to seven containers a week.

Both measures were intended to encourage recycling. Recyclable materials are collected either at the curbside or at the remote locations for a flat monthly fee no matter how great the tonnage. Consequently, each ton of solid waste removed from the waste stream spares the city the $150 it costs to collect, transport and dispose of each ton of solid waste.

HUMVEE from page one maintenance is minimal, consisting of an annual fluid change and that the department has a surplus radio and surplus lights which can be installed on the vehicle.

He also said that had the damage from Hurricane Sandy been greater in the county, the Humvee would have proved to be a useful vehicle in evacuation and rescue operations. ‘’It’s a useful piece of equipment we would use wisely,’’ said Wiggin, who pointed out that the Humvee has capabilities of getting through standing water and over obstacles that other vehicles used by the department don’t have. ‘’Thousands of these vehicles are being given away and Gilford was able to acquire three and offered one to us,’’ said Wiggin.’

Philpot said that he had originally voted in favor of the request in order to keep the option open for the commission to reconsider the department’s bid to acquire the Humvee.

He said that the original Humvee decision resulted in more phone calls to him than he’s had on any issue in his four years as a commissioner. ‘’We have a $35 million budget and I haven’t got a single phone call about it. But people are calling about this all the time. And none of the callers were in favor of the Humvee.’’

He praised Wiggin for being transparent on the issue and bringing it before the commission, noting

that in the past the department would have been more likely to accept the vehicle without even checking with the commission. ‘’Sometimes in the past we haven’t had these discussions,’’ said Philpot. ‘’We try to be transparent,.’’ said Wiggin, who said ‘’we’ll use it (the Humvee) only if we need it.’’

Commissioner Nedeau said that in light of the new information on the lack of cost to the county, he was switching his vote, ‘’I take the sheriff at his word. I have enough faith in him to know that he will use it the way he says he would,’’ said Nedeau.

He was joined by Thomas in supporting the department’s request and Thomas noted that he too had received many comments on the Humvee, most of them negative, but thought that it was a good move to acquire a useful piece of equipment at little cost.

Philpot said that he was still concerned over costs that the department might face down the road.

Wiggin said that the Humvee, a 2010 four-wheel drive vehicle with a pickup body and four doors, is in excellent condition with only 3,000 miles on it. He said the department will use the vehicle in weather emergencies, for moving equipment to and from communications sites and for moving training equipment.

He said the diesel engine gets about eight miles per gallon and that a small modular unit would be used to shelter the Humvee.

The Berwick family of Perkins Drive in Laconia was one of the seemingly few local properties damaged by hurricane Sandy. A work van, which was parked to the left of the Jeep pictured, was totaled when a spruce tree fell over. The van, which was parked there for only a short time, saved the Jeep and another vehicle also parked there, from also sustaining damage. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

Sandy picked 1 spot in Laconia to do serious damage

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Storm damage can be vagarious, occurring at unpredicted moments and affecting specific homes while leaving the rest of the neighborhood untouched. That’s what Larry Berwick and his family found out on Monday evening, when a pair of blue spruce trees were blown over, crushing the roof of his son’s work van.

The damage occurred well before the most powerful winds of the evening would arrive, while the Berwick’s adult son, a heating, ventilation and air conditioning contractor, was taking a brief respite at his parent’s home in the middle of a long day of service calls. Soaked from the day’s rain, he stopped by to put his clothes in their dryer and join them for a burrito dinner.

The meal was interrupted, though, by the sound of a crash. Larry reported that his son went to the front window and announced, non-chalantly, “There’s a tree on my van.” from preceding page noon in the company of the man who delivered the keynote address at Romney’s Republican National Convention this summer.

Three hours later, the two men spoke of one another in glowing terms.

“He has sprung into action immediately,” said Christie.

Said Obama of the governor, “He has put his heart and soul into making sure the people of New Jersey bounce back stronger than before.”

Larry and his wife had parked side-by-side in front of their Perkins Drive home, and their son had pulled into a spot between their vehicles and two spruce trees, each about 50 feet tall. One fell across a snowmobile trailer which appeared to escape without much damage. The other, though, fell across the three parked cars. Unfortunately for the son, his van was the tallest of the three vehicles and the one closest to the tree. The weight of the falling tree crushed his roof, but the placement of his van absorbed the falling tree’s inertia, thereby sparing his parents’ vehicles.

After moving the un-damaged vehicles out of the way, Berwick helped his son cut the tree into sections. Although its roof was damaged, the work van was still drivable, and Larry said his son went off to complete more service calls. On Tuesday morning, Berwick went for a drive to survey local damage, but couldn’t find anything on the scale of what he could see in his own front yard. He asked, laughing, “What am I, one in a million here?”

The Berwicks bought their home in 1985, when the two trees were small enough that the family decorated them for Christmas. “I’ve been here for 30 years, went through a lot.” Over the decades, the trees grew to the point that he would have required a bucket truck to string them with lights. Puzzled, Berwick recalled how the trees had withstood more vigorous winds before being knocked over on Monday.

4 Democrats, 4 Republicans & 1 Independent contesting 4 seats Gilford & Meredith will have in House

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD & MEREDITH — Against the wishes of both towns, the Legislature joined Gilford and Meredith, whose common boundary lies in the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee between Governor’s Island and Stonedam Island, into one electoral district returning four members to the New Hampshire House of Representatives.

Nine candidates, four Republicans, four Democrats and one Independent are vying for the four seats. Five — Republicans Colette Worsman, Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney and Democrats Kate Miller and Sandra Mucci — are from Meredith. Four — Republican Kevin Leandro, Democrats Bill Johnson and Lisa DiMartino and Independent John O’Brien are from Gilford. Worsman and Greemore, both elected in 2010, are the only incumbents in the field, but Johnson has previously served two terms and Miller one in the House.

The 4,050 registered Republicans represent 41-percent of the electorate, followed by 3,477 undeclared voters who account for 35-percent, leaving the 2,327 Democrats with just less than a quarter of all registered voters.

Worsman, who with her husband Glenn owns and operates Gold Eagle, a construction firm, quickly showed herself one of the most fiscally and socially conservative members of the House.

Among the few freshmen on the House Finance Committee, she took a sharp pencil to the budget while supporting measures to reduce a handful of taxes.

Staunchly pro-life “from conception to death,” she voted to defund Planned Parenthood and to authorize employers to withhold insurance coverage for contraception, explaining that “Christian households are upset that they can’t direct their tax dollars where they want.”. Expressing her pleasure with the work of the Republican majority, she said, “It’s my mission. Doing God’s work.”

A native of Meredith, Greemore served two tours in Vietnam with the United States Navy then, with degrees from the University of New Hampshire and Michigan State University, spent 30 years in food service before returning home to reopen his father’s sharpening shop. “My biggest concern is the economy,” he said. “Retirees are worried about their savings and pensions and working people are worried about their jobs.” As a member of the House Education Committee, Greemore pointed to the success of legislation granting tax credits to firms that contribute to a scholarship fund that enables parents to defray tuition to private and parochial schools as well as measures to promote home schooling. But, he said “we’ve still got a lot of work to do.” In particular, he stressed the importance of matching curriculum to the aptitudes and skills required by employers.

Vadney, originally from Francestown, spent 27 years in the United States Air Force applying his engineering background to the opera-

tion and research and development of nuclear missiles before retiring with the rank of colonel and settling in Meredith 18 years ago. A longtime member and chairman of the Planning Board, he is currently serving his first term as a selectman. Vadney considers himself analytical and skeptical as well as “kind of a cheapskate,” who intends “get things out on the table” and “spend our money a little more wisely.” He thought that his experience and interests would be well suited to either the Education or Science, Technology and Energy Committee.

“I really didn’t want to do this,” Leandro confessed. He said that he was frustrated with the Democrats when they controlled the Legislature (2006-2010) but was reluctant to run for office until he was persuaded by Republican friends. After selling his waste haulage business in Rhode Island in 2001, Leandro came to Gilford, where he operates a trucking company and equipment rental firm as well as manages real estate investments. Describing himself as “a conservative Republican with a libertarian streak,” he said that his overriding concern is to eliminate waste and increase efficiency in government.

“I’m a businessman,” he said. “I know things can be done more efficiently for less money.” Leandro said that while he had opinions on social issues like abortion or gay marriage, he would “take them one at a time,” noting they did not have a direct impact on him or his family.

Raised in Illinois, Miller summered at Spindle Point from childhood before settling in Meredith with her husband and seven children, four of them adopted. Schooled at Smith College and Stanford University, she spent 12 years on Capitol Hill, many of them on the staff of the Senate Special Committee on Aging. When she was elected to the New Hampshire House in 2008 she became a key player in the Long-Term Care Caucus, a role she hopes to resume if re-elected.

She favors expanding the Medicaid program, which provides a significant share of fundings for the longterm care of the elderly. On the other hand, Miller said that the graying of the state is a cause for concern and stressed the need to develop policies and make investments, especially in education, to attract young residents and foster a balance demographic.

An eighth generation New Hampshire native, Mucci has been a resident of Meredith for 35 years, working in marketing and sales, particularly for the travel and tourism industry.

Calling herself “a lifelong conservationist and advocate for education,” she said she was a Republican until Newt Gingrich announced “the Contract with America” in 1994, when she registered as undeclared, and became a Democrat during the George W. Bush Administration. “There is no such thing as a liberal Republican anymore,” she remarked. Mucci said she hopes “to change the conversation see next page

from preceding page in Concord” by placing more emphasis on investing in education and infrastructure and safeguarding the natural environment. “I would like to improve the dialogue and encourager more collaboration and cooperation between the parties,” she said.

Elected to the House in 2000 and 2008, Johnson, a former financier and academic with a record of engagement in local and regional charitable and civic initiatives, is bidding for a third term. He stressed that the state must deliver public services in as efficient a manner and at as low a cost as possible, suggesting regionalizing municipal services at the county level and consolidating agencies at the state level, along with pruning unnecessary regulation. But, in the next breath Johnson, who has openly advocated an income tax, swarmed “if we can’t achieve significant efficiencies and develop new source of revenue, we’ will see steep increases in property taxes and business taxes.” Troubled by the recent performance the Legislature, including many of the local lawmakers, he said that “voters deserve and should demand more openness, candor and accountability from their representatives, especially about how and why they vote as they do.”

DiMartino, the mother of a son with special needs, became an advocate soon after his birth. She currently serves on the Governor’s Commission on Disability, New Hampshire Medical Care Advisory Committee, New Hampshire Coalition of Caring Committee and Legislative Committee of the New

Hampshire Brain Injury Association. Meanwhile, she has worked for Lakes Region Community Services and as a children’s librarian at the Gilford Public Library. She has been a passionate champion of public education, which she believes is the foundation of a robust and dynamic economy. She said that her highest priority is “ensuring sufficient funding to providethe least fortunate and most vulnerable — the mentally ill, senior citizens, and above all those with developmental disabilities. “I want to end the wait list once and for all,” she insisted.

Undeclared or independent voters have a standard bearer in O’Brien, who casts himself as “an independent thinking conservative.” A decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, in which he piloted helicopters, he managed sales and marketing for the dental products division of 3-M Company before retiring to Gilford. He said that he was motivated to run by “the silliness in Gilford,” which he also observed in Concord, where the Legislature was marked by “no compromise, no leadership, lack of cooperation, lack of civility and stupid laws.” Registered as “undeclared” for 40 years, O’Brien secured his place on the ballot by collecting well more than the 150 signatures required in three weeks. Earlier this year he elected to a second term on the Board of Selectmen with 90-percent of the vote. Critical of those who apply a “national ideology” to state and local issues, he said that “I will take every issue and deal with it logically as an independent, not as a one-note Charlie.”

ARMED from page one Canfield said there was a outstanding warrant for Fleck’s arrest so he and four other police officers went to the tent.

While three officers approached, two others waited on the other side of the cemetery.

Canfield said Fleck ran from the tent when the initial three officers neared but ran directly toward the other two. One of the officers tazed him an electric shock stun gun and he was placed under arrest.

Police found a shotgun and an Airsoft pistol in

Fleck’s tent as well as a number of items they said appeared to be stolen from cars.

Fleck is being held on $5,000 cash bail for the warrant and will appear by video in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning.

He is also charged with one count of resisting arrest.

Canfield said additional chalrges are likely forthcoming and police are working to identify the items they recovered.

“Rusty” Brooks of Woodstock was killed Tuesday morning in what the chief called a really freak accident.

He said Brooks was between a dirt cellar hole filled with water and a pile of rocks when the earth gave way and buried him in mud and stone. Smith says Brooks was washed down the equivalent of a two-to-three-story incline.

Smith was pronounced dead in the ambulance while enroute to the hospital.

Smith says people in the area knew Brooks well and are devastated by his death.

Brooks’ death is the only one in New Hampshire linked to storm Sandy.

Frates premiers ‘Don’t Be A Bully - Be A Friend’

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Using his mastery in drawing, slightof-hand and comic antics, retired teacher Larry Frates transfixed and delighted a young audience and their parents with laughter and tricks at Elm Street School last week — all to illustrate the benefits of befriending someone and not being a bully.

Frates played all of the characters during the public premier of his magic show and, through the better part of an hour, took his nearly 50 charges on a world-wide tour of how people can be friends with others and help them through life.

Starting with empty Chines food boxes that represented problems, Frates, along with two children from the audience, let one girl put her boxes behind her while a boy in the audience had to stack his boxes in his hands until they fell.

When the two children helped pick up the boxes together, they showed how helping someone can make everybody happy and how to turn to someone when they have a problem.

From the food boxes he let two other boys put him

in chains while he “tried a new magic trick” that just didn’t seem to work. But he trusted his two helpers to get him out of his bind.

“How many of you have been afraid to try something new because you were afraid people would laugh at you,” he asked, getting serious nods from his audience.

He wrote the word “Respect” on a note pad and drew an American Flag from the “R” taking to them about respecting themselves, the country and giving them a little history lesson on what it means to be an American.

Using one of his renowned caricatures for effect, Frates began to draw a man, later identified as Russell Schmitt, from the audience.

Within minutes of finishing the face, one young man recognized Schmitt as “the man in the red shirt.”

While everyone including Schmitt laughed, Frates asked him to tell the audience something special about him. Schmitt said he like to play hockey, Frates drew a hockey stick into the caricature. see BULLY-FRIEND page NEW PROVIDERS

KEEPING THE LAKES REGION SAFE SINCE 1977

from preceding page “You see, when we laugh with someone and not at someone we can make themselves and ourselves feel good,” he said.

“Now we’re all friends because we laughed together,” he said.

Frates said the five keys of his new hour-long show are to laugh with people, to be a good citizen, to be responsible, to follow their dreams and to solve their problem.

In an interview earlier this week, Frates said he used comedy as an illustration of how children can come together, laugh together, and learn to have fun with each other and not be be a bully.

The show was free of charge and Frates said he is “taking it on the road” and will do his performance for other school districts or agencies.

Sponsored by a variety of area businesses, Frates also said there will be signs in the windows of downtown merchants that will show a child where there is a safe place if a child is being bullied.

He developed the show over the past six months as a way to discourage bullying and to show each child that he or she “is the magic.”

The performance shows children that the power of laughter, imagination and magic can transform a child and prevent bullying.

NEW YORK from page one food,” said Duncan Niederauer, CEO of the company that runs the exchange, in hard-hit lower Manhattan.

Most Broadway shows returned for Wednesday matinees and evening shows.

Across the Hudson River in New Jersey, National Guardsmen in trucks delivered ready-to-eat meals and other supplies to heavily flooded Hoboken and rushed to evacuate people from the city’s high-rises and brownstones. The mayor’s office put out a plea for people to bring boats to City Hall for use in rescuing victims.

Natural gas fires erupted in Brick Township, where scores of homes were wrecked by the storm.

And some of the state’s barrier islands, which took a direct hit from Sandy on Monday night, remained all but cut off.

President Barack Obama took a helicopter tour of the ravaged coast with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.

“We are here for you,” Obama said in Brigantine, N.J. “We are not going to tolerate red tape. We are not going to tolerate bureaucracy.”

In New York, masses of people walked shoulderto-shoulder across the Brooklyn Bridge to get into Manhattan for work, reminiscent of the escape

scenes from the Sept. 11 terrorist attack and the blackout of 2003.

They entered an island sharply divided between those who had power and those who did not.

In Manhattan at night, it was possible to walk downtown along an avenue and move in an instant from a mostly normal New York scene — delis open, people milling outside bars — into a pitch-black cityscape, with police flares marking intersections.

People who did have power took to social media to offer help to neighbors.

“I have power and hot water. If anyone needs a shower or to charge some gadgets or just wants to bask in the beauty of artificial light, hit me up,” Rob Hart of Staten Island posted on Facebook.

A respected New York steakhouse in the blackout zone, Old Homestead, realized its meat was going to go bad and decided to grill what was left and sell steaks on the sidewalk for $10. A center-cut sirloin usually goes for $47.

“Give back to the people of New York,” said Greg Sherry, the steakhouse’s co-owner. He said it had served nearly 700 people on Wednesday.

Simon Massey and his 9-year-old son, Henry, took one last walk near their powerless apartment in downtown Manhattan before decamping to a friend’s place in Brooklyn where the electricity worked.

“We’re jumping ship,” he said. “We gorged on eggs and sausage this morning before everything goes bad. We don’t want to spend another three or four days here.”

They live on the 10th floor of a 32-floor building, where they were flushing the toilet with water from their filled tub and cooking on their gas stove. They found their way down the stairs with glowsticks and flashlights, and rationed iPad and phone use.

“I’m feeling scared,” said Henry, who was home from third grade for a third straight day. “It just feels really, really weird. New York’s not supposed to be this quiet.”

Author of book on FRM scandal will be at Annie’s Bookstop Saturday LACONIA — Mark Connolly, former New Hampshire Securities Chief, who wrote a controversial book about the FRM Ponzi scheme will be signing copies of his book “Cover-Up — One Man’s Pursuit of the Truth Amid the Government’s Failure to End a Ponzi Scheme,” Saturday, November 3 from 2-4 p.m. to sign copies of his book.

FRM was forced into involuntary bankruptcy after its partners, Scott Farah and Donald Dodge, defrauded more than 500 investors out of $80 million during the largest financial fraud in state history. Farah was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison and Dodge to 6½ years.

The book offers Connolly’s scathing, front-row account of the state’s inves-

tigation into a massive Ponzi scheme

by Financial Resources Mortgage Inc. Connolly said he wrote the book at the urging of former state Rep. Jim Splaine. “Connolly said one of the reasons he wrote the book was to help tell the victims’ stories. He said there were suicides, broken lives and lost retirements as a result of the FRM scheme. The second reason he wrote the book, he said, was to “send a message” that “nothing has changed.”

Connolly’s book describes “political in-fighting,” explains how FRM was “inappropriately mislabeled” as securities fraud and he offers recommendations for legislative action to prevent a reoccurrence of the financial scandal.

LACONIA — Iyad Burnat, head of the Popular Committee in Bil’in, Palestine, will speak on Wednesday, November 7, at noon and 7 p.m. at the Congregational Church of Laconia, 69 Pleasant Street, at Veteran’s Square.

Burnat, resident and leader of Bil’in in the West Bank of Palestine, will describe his village’s non-violent popular resistance movement.

The residents’ efforts began in 2005 when the Israeli separation wall was built through Bil’in, taking sixty percent of the village’s land. The wall separated the village from its agricultural lands to make way for the illegal settlement of Mod’in Illit.

Since 2005 citizens of Bil’in have held weekly demonstrations against the building of the wall through the community’s agricultural lands, the burning of their olive trees, and the steady encroachment of illegal settle-

ments. The demonstrators are joined

by Israeli and international peace activists, and have maintained a commitment to non-violent methods of resistance in spite of armed, military opposition that has resulted in many injuries and some deaths.

These demonstrations are the subject of the recent award-winning documentary film 5 Broken Cameras, which was made by Iyad’s brother, Emad Burnat.

Iyad, a Bil’in farmer, was born in Bil’in in September of 1973. He is married and has four children. He became involved in popular resistance as a teenager and was arrested by the Israeli military for the first time at age 17. He was imprisoned for two years. Since then he has been arrested and imprisoned by the Israeli military several more times. see next page

Ross Talarico signing copies of his book Sled Run at Annie’s Book Stop today

LACONIA — Ross Talarico will be signing copies of his book Sled Run at Annie’s Book Stop from 3:30-5 p.m. today.

The book is called the “Wonder Years” meets “Bronx Tale” and is a Christmas story to boot.

In this modern-day Robin Hood tale, a teenager is chosen to be a part of the annual Christmas tradition of thievery and charity by the young Mafioso of the local neighborhood. Thus begins the sorting out of friendships, the pursuit of American dreams, and the deep understanding of a father’s sorrow and love.

Talarico is currently a professor of Writing and Literature, at the School of Human Services, Springfield College (MA), the San Diego Campus.

In the years 2000 until 2003, he ran

an extensive program with NativeAmericans, resulting in creating narratives from oral histories of elderly Indians and incorporating them into lessons for the Pala Mission Band of Indians and the Bonsall Public Schools system; this program and the published textbook, incorporated poetry and lessons from elementary and high school students as well.

He also wrote and published Carrying on the Tradition, a history and guide to Burial and Wake ceremonies in 2009 for the Pala Band of Indians.

His epic poem, The Reptilian Interludes (And A Child’s Prayer), a poem about the species itself and devolution as we might know it, was published in January of 2008, and was nominated for a Pulitzer prize by the publisher.

MEREDITH — In 1905, President Theodore Roosevelt chose Portsmouth, New Hampshire to be the site of negotiations between Russian and Japanese delegations to end the Russo-Japanese War (now known as “World War Zero”).

On Wednesday, November 7, the Meredith Public Library welcomes Charles B. Doleac, Esq. for an illustrated program on “Teddy Roosevelt’s Nobel Prize and the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.” The program starts at 6:30 p.m.

The free program is open to the public thanks to the NH Humanities Council and the Friends of the Meredith Library. A question and answer session will follow the illustrated talk. For information, the library phone is 279-4303.

Attorney Doleac is the founder/chairman of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty

Forum. In 2011 he received the Order of the Rising Sun from the Japanese Government for his efforts to encourage mutual understanding and friendship between Japan and the United States.

The Portsmouth Peace Treaty Forum was founded in 1994 to provide an opportunity for diplomats and scholars to explore diplomatic themes “in the spirit of the Portsmouth Peace Treaty.” The Forum maintains a permanent and traveling exhibit (displayed at the Portsmouth Historical Society’s John Paul Jones House Museum and at the New Hampshire State Archives in Concord) and the website that the Library of Congress cites as the best resource on the topic for its educational value and accessibility. For more information, visit www.portsmouthpeacetreaty.com

from preceding page Laconia resident Janet Simmon stayed in Bil’in and met Iyad while she was in the Middle East in May of this year. During his 2012-2013 American tour, Iyad will tell the stories of Bil’in and life in the occupied West Bank. He will talk about strategies for non-violent popular resistance

with a goal of peace and prosperity for all people.

His presentations are accompanied by photos and videos.

His trip to the U.S. is sponsored by Interfaith Peace Builders and Jewish Voice for Peace, and locally by The Outreach Committee of the Congregational Church of Laconia

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It would be impossible to solve the world’s problems in a day. But you’ll feel so clever and able now that it seems you might be able to swing it in about a day and a half.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Doing what’s expected of you will earn you more of the usual requests. Doing the unexpected leads to an entirely different kind of response. Capitalize on your uniqueness.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your ambition is usually a fine quality, but you’ll do well to curb it today. Small aims that you complete in a timely manner will build trust in you. Others will feel safe and won’t consider you a threat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A disagreement about money or possessions will get resolved. As soon as it’s handled, you’ll move on to the fun of planning upcoming travel and adventure.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Anyone can buy a rose, but you offer a loved one something that only you could give. Your romantic life thrives when you dare to apply your abundant creativity to making your partner happy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 1). A romantic encounter leads to adventure at the start of your new year. Travel over the next two months leads to work and a new interest. A family member’s good fortune will spill over to you in January, and you’ll bring some benefits of your own to the group in May. Competition spurs you to new heights in February.

Aries and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 2, 19 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Make a list of the special days coming up, and start brainstorming about your wishes for those times. Getting organized now will make your holidays much, much brighter.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be in an unusually touchy-feely mood.

You’ll use the power of contact to promote good will, make an impression and set a tone for relationships. Your warmth and hugs will be most appreciated at the end of the day.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Insecurity is a repellant. In all you approach today, whether it’s a date, a business meeting or a parent-teacher conference, check your insecurity at the door.

Choose confidence.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People get you immediately. Similar to the way in which a big, comfy chair says “relax” and a billboard says “read me,” you make a clear statement today by just being you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your goal doesn’t always have to be a driving passion. Sometimes you just want to sit with someone you care about, tell jokes and visit awhile. You’ll aim for simple connection and land at happiness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have a reason to toast this evening.

Whatever your beverage of choice, raise a glass of it, convey your admiration and/or good news aloud, and then drink to it.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Bonding with a friend doesn’t require that you share a profound happening or commit to a passionate cause together. But it does take focused attention for a certain amount of time, which is exactly what you have to give.

PET OF THE WEEK IS ANTHONY Anthony is the perfect mix of Black Labrador-German Shepherdcanine Einstein. Yes, you read that right, he is an incredibly intelligent dog who will outsmart the average owner every time.

Ergo, we are looking for the exceptional dog owner.

So far Anthony has showed he can steal food off low lying surfaces, but at the same time look at you with those wonderful brown eyes sitting immediately and waiting for your next command. Smart, so smart, and devilish to boot.

He knows how to make good decisions, he just doesn’t always feel like doing so.. kind of like the smartest kid in school sitting at the back of the class throwing spitballs!

Anthony is very companionable with other dogs. We’d like to see him in an adults only home. He will assume cats are play toys so best to stick with a dog friendly household.

Come and see Anthony, take him out on our woodland trail he walks beautifully on leash. You will fall in love.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, November 1, 2012— Page 29

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m dating a guy who works out of town and is home every four weeks. “Jake” calls and texts often and says he misses me all the time. Here’s what bothers me: Jake always asks me how I feel about him. He says, “Do you even like me?” I think it’s because I don’t drop everything when he calls like the other women he has dated.

I recently found out via Facebook that Jake went on a cruise with a woman he used to live with. She has been posting pictures of the cruise and saying how much she loves Jake. There is nothing about the cruise posted on Jake’s page. I told him about her comments. He replied that he didn’t know anything about it, and she was obviously just thanking all of the people on the cruise for their love and support. But he added that she’s a wonderful woman and they’d be in a relationship if she lived closer.

I said he is being unfair to both of us, but he claims he’s not married and will continue to call me until I tell him to stop.

Since then, he’s phoned a couple of times, and I refuse to take his calls. Is this a case of wanting to have your cake and eat it, too? -- Daisy Mae Dear Daisy: It sounds like it, although as a single man, he can date as many women as he likes until he makes a commitment. You thought he had made one to you, but he believed otherwise. It’s possible he was attracted to you because you didn’t fawn all over him. But that results in a stable relationship only in the movies.

In real life, such men thrive on the attention, and since they rarely get enough of it from one partner, they look for it in many others. Right now, he thinks you’ll cave. If you want him to stop calling, you will have to tell him point blank.

Dear Annie: I am the youngest of 10 siblings. Every sum-

mer, we share a lake house for a wonderful family reunion that extends over several days.

Every year, my older brother invites an obnoxious friend to join us for the last evening’s family grill. How can I convince him that just because we are part owners doesn’t mean we can invite unwanted guests? He says it is his home and he can invite whomever he wishes. I say if he is not cooking the meal, it is not proper. The chef dislikes this guy as much as I do. Who is right? -- The Baby of the Family Dear Baby: As joint owners, you should each be able to invite guests. However, since you are all staying in the house together, it is both considerate and proper to first ask the other residents whether they object to additional company. So while your brother can invite his friend when he uses the lake house on his own, he should ask the rest of you about inviting him when you are sharing the house and the meals.

Dear Annie: I am concerned about your response to “Trying” which said it was OK to tell Mom that some of the grandchildren are hurt because they aren’t receiving as much gift money as others.

I think this encourages a sense of entitlement. Instead of trying to correct Mom’s behavior, I would encourage “Trying” to stop comparing gifts and value Mom’s intention to add joy to the lives of all of her family members. -- Mike in Schenectady, N.Y. Dear Mike: We disagree. The only entitlement it encourages is that Grandma should treat her grandchildren equally.

If all the kids received a lesser gift, it would be fair, and the kids wouldn’t get the impression that Grandma loves some of them more than others. And we think Grandma should know this.

Spend time, save money: Energy Awareness Day held Saturday in Andover ANDOVER — Andover Energy Awareness Day, which will be held Saturday, November 3 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m., is being organized by the Andover Energy Group, an informal local organization interested in promoting alternative-energy sources and energy-efficiency measures in the Andover area.

During that time, participants can visit a few of their Andover neighbors who have invested in alternativeenergy sources and energy-efficiency projects, and learn from them, in their own words, what they’ve done, how they did it, what it cost, and how they’re benefiting.

They can also drop by the Town Hall parking lot and have a look at an array of energy-efficient vehicles, as well as sales literature from local dealers. While there, grab a cup of coffee and a doughnut in the Town Hall meeting room, pick up some literature on energysaving products and projects, and watch a slide show about a local geothermal energy installation.

People can also visit building-materials supplier R.
