Council puts up stop sign for 3 downtown TIF projects BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The City Council last night threw a very wet blanket on a request by the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Advisory Committee to spend $50,000 to design a pocket park at the junction of Pleasant Street and Main
Street, landscaping at the foot of Main Street near the bridge and public restrooms. Councilors Matt Lahey (Ward 2) and Bob Hamel (Ward 5) led the opposition, suggesting the planning budget was excessive and the improvements themselves were not part of a well thought out plan for the future
of downtown. Tax increment financing allows municipalities to delineate TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to
either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it. The improvements are generally made in conjunction with private developers, who undertake to complete particular projects while municipalities commit to enhancing infrastructure — see DOWNTOWN page 9
Drug court eyed as key component of Community Corrections Plan BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — County officials and Belknap County Superior Court are eyeing the establishment of a adult drug court which will offer non-violent offenders with a history of drug
addiction and mental illness an opportunity to participate in an intense, court supervised treatment program for 12-18 months instead of going to jail. New Hampshire Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nadeau, who helped institute a
drug court program in Rockingham County, told local officials yesterday that the program has produced good results there by following an evidence-based system which involved an Adult Drug Court Team made see DRUG COURT page 8

Archduke Joseph Diamond fetches record $21.5-million
GENEVA (AP) — Christie’s auctioned off the Archduke Joseph Diamond for nearly $21.5 million Tuesday night, a world auction record price per carat for a colorless diamond. The Archduke Joseph Diamond was the first of two out-of-this world diamonds being auctioned off this week in Geneva. Sotheby’s on Wednesday will auction what it calls an exceptionally rare fancy deep blue briolette diamond of 10.48 carats expected to get up to $4.5 million. Christie’s kicked off Geneva’s jewelry auctions, held in five-star hotels along the Swiss city’s elegant lakefront, that seem a continent if not a world away from the grim austerity gripping much of Europe. The Archduke Joseph Diamond went for $21,474,525 including commission at Christie’s auction. That was well above the expected $15 million and more than triple the price paid for it at auction almost two decades ago. The 76.02-carat diamond, with perfect color and internally flawless see next page

Petraeus scandal widens, another general’s e-mail ‘flirtatious’ WASHINGTON (AP) — The sex scandal that felled CIA Director David Petraeus widened Tuesday to ensnare the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, in a suddenly public drama involving a Tampa socialite, a jealous rival, a twin sister in a messy custody dispute and flirty emails. The improbable story — by turns tragic and silly — could have major consequences, unfolding at a critical time in the Afghan war effort and just as President Barack Obama was hoping for a smooth transition in his national security team.
Obama put a hold on the nomination of Afghan war chief Allen to become the next commander of U.S. European Command as well as the NATO supreme allied commander in Europe after investigators uncovered 20,000-plus pages of documents and emails that involved Allen and Tampa socialite Jill Kelley. Some of the material was characterized as “flirtatious.” Allen, 58, insisted he’d done nothing wrong and worked to save his imperiled career. Kelley, 37, who had worked herself into the center of the military social scene in
Florida without having any official role, emerged as a central figure in the stillunfolding story that has embroiled two of the nation’s most influential and respected military leaders. Known as a close friend of retired Gen. Petraeus, Kelley triggered the FBI investigation that led to his downfall as CIA director when she complained about getting anonymous, harassing emails. They turned out to have been written by Petraeus’ mistress, Paula Broadwell, who apparently was jealous of the attention the general see SCANDAL page 7
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Caught up in a family disagreement over who should care for three young children, a grandmother and her son barricaded themselves and the kids in a garage and filled it with deadly carbon monoxide gas. All five died. Police spent Tuesday trying to explain the heartbreaking scene discovered a day earlier at the home of 54-year-old Sandy Ford and her son Andy in a quiet Toledo neighborhood.
Firefighters using a sledgehammer broke down the garage door to find the bodies of 5-year-old Madalyn Hayes, her 6-year-old brother, Logan, and 10-year-old sister, Paige, slumped inside a car, along with their grandmother and uncle. Two hoses attached to the exhaust of a pickup truck pumped gas fumes through the car’s rear window. Police said letters inside the house indicated the woman and her son plotted the
murder-suicide, beginning by picking up the children from school Monday morning after their mother had dropped them off earlier. They also had disabled the garage door opener and nailed plywood over the windows, said Toledo police Sgt. Joe Heffernan. He wouldn’t say what was in the letters, but it appeared some were written by the children. “We’re trying to figure out all the why’s see 3 KIDS page 6
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A small plane with three people aboard crashed into a home near an airport in Jackson Tuesday evening and authorities did not have immediate information on casualties. A deputy fire chief told WJTV-TV that
one person escaped the burning home with minor injuries, but it was not immediately clear if anyone else was inside. One patient from the scene was in good condition at University of Mississippi Medical Center, said spokesman Jack Mazurak. He wouldn’t give
the person’s name or gender or the extent of the injuries, citing privacy laws. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen did not immediately have information about the condition see JACKSON page 6

Wind turbine company to Relative alerted police to man with shotgun living in woods host public meetings in 3 Grafton County towns By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GRAFTON, County (AP) — A company that wants to build about three dozen wind turbines in the mountains of several New Hampshire communities is holding open house meetings. Iberdrola Renewables has preliminary permission to build up to 40, 450-foot-tall wind turbines on private property in Grafton, Alexandria and Danbury. It’s called the Wild Meadows project. Iberdrola is holding an open house Tuesday night in Grafton. Similar meetings will be held Wednesday in Alexandria and Thursday in Danbury. The company operates a similar project in Lempster and is bringing a 24-unit wind farm online in Groton. State officials look at such projects as important steps toward generating 25 percent of the state’s energy from renewable sources by 2025. The Citizen reports Ed Cherian of Iberdrola said the Wild Meadows project needs approval from the New Hampshire Site Evaluation Committee, which will look at various impact studies to be completed by the company. Iberdrola can then submit a formal application to the state. As with the Groton project, Iberdrola expects to offer the towns of Grafton, Alexandria, and Danbury an annual payment in lieu of taxes. Groton, for example, will get more than $500,000 per year for 15 years, Cherian said. Most of the Wild Meadows turbines will be at least four to five miles away from Newfound Lake, said Cherian, and will not be visible to most people in that area. He said a three-year study done by Iberdrola under the direction of the state Fish and Game Department found that there are no special or unique habitats on the proposed turbine site, and that the turbines themselves would not pose a threat to migratory birds.
LACONIA — City police learned about the homeless man armed with a shotgun they arrested Oct. 31 in the woods near Union Cemetery when one of his relatives called them. Patrol Officer Kristian Young testified yesterday in Jeffrey Fleck’s probable cause hearing at the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division and said he went to Fleck’s cousin’s home the day before and was told by the cousin where Fleck was living. Fleck’s cousin said Fleck had shown him a photograph of a shotgun. Fleck’s cousin told Young he believed it was stolen and said he thought Fleck kept the shotgun hanging from a rope strung from the top of his make-shift shelter in the woods. After the hearing, Judge Jim Carroll found the police had probable cause for a charge of receiving stolen property — the shotgun. Fleck remains held
in jail on $5,000 cash bail. Young testified that Fleck’s cousin also said he thought he carried a handgun in a binocular case he wore around his neck, however Young said that during a search of the camp, police found a carbon dioxide fueled BB gun that looked exactly like a handgun. According to Young, after Jeffrey Fleck speaking with Fleck’s cousin (Laconia Police photo) he and two other officers verified the location of the Fleck’s shelter and met with Captain Matt Canfield who coordinated a multi-officer operation whereby Fleck’s shelter was surrounded by police. Young said he, a second officer, and Canfield, see FLECK page 8

Susan Estrich
I’m ‘rich’ & Obama has no mandate to raise my taxes Within days of winning the election, President Obama announced that his victory gave him a mandate to raise taxes on the “rich.” Come again? This was a two-anda-half-point election. It reflected a painfully divided electorate. The only mandate I saw was to unite a divided country. I voted for Obama. I voted for him because I know how hard it is to buy health insurance for a single person with even a minor pre-existing condition. In the case of my nanny/ housekeeper/dear friend, it was gastritis. Thank God for Kaiser, which sold me the insurance that some years later saved her life when she was diagnosed with cancer. So call it what you will, but I did not want to see Obamacare repealed. Years after I stopped worrying about unwanted pregnancies, I did not want to risk Roe v. Wade. I was appalled that contraception could even be an issue. I believe that whoever wants to marry should have a right to do so regardless of their sexual orientation. I voted for Obama because I worry about cutting back on environmental regulation. I voted for Obama because I believe local schools need help from the federal government, because I believe we are one country, and that if there is an earthquake in California, we will need as much help from our fellow states — which is to say the federal government — as New York and New Jersey do in dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I voted for Obama because he ended the war in Iraq and is committed to ending the war in Afghanistan. I did not vote for Obama because I think I am paying too little in taxes. Like many people I know, I am “rich” by Obama’s standards. I pay more taxes, percentage wise, than Mitt Romney and Warren Buffett, because I earn virtually every penny of my income. I work. And yes, all those deductions that allow the truly rich to not work, or at least to not work all the
jobs I do, make me angry. I am all for closing loopholes. I am all for ending deductions for things I don’t even understand. But I am not for putting a low cap on deductions that would make it all but impossible for the charities I support to raise funds. I am not for putting a limit on the mortgage deduction that would mean, as a practical matter, that “middle class” (not rich) people in California would be priced out of the housing market, and the charities I support would not be able to raise what they need to survive. And frankly, I don’t think I’m alone. As a matter of fact, on this one, I don’t think 51 percent of all Americans are to my “left” — if that’s how you define the higher tax constituency. Obama needs to be very careful. Yes, he was re-elected. But so were all those folks who blocked the extension of the Bush tax cuts if they excluded individuals and small businesses who make enough money to qualify as rich — but not enough to send their kids to college, or help their aging parents, or buy a home in a decent neighborhood. We need to avoid going over the fiscal cliff. But Obama must also avoid the political cliff. One of the amazing things about this country is that the middle class doesn’t hate the rich. We are not a society divided by economic castes. Yes, there are real issues as the gap between the top and the middle, between CEOs and those in good but not great jobs, grows. But beginning a new term with what will look to many like a class war is not the way to fulfill the real mandate of this election, which is to bring us together, not turn us against each other.

— LETTERS — The numbers came up short for us but the process works To the editor, Although there are individual named candidates on the ballot, running for office is part of a larger process which involves many people. Now that this election is over and the “peoples” decision has been made, there are many thank you’s to be made. Thank you to the voters of Meredith and Gilford (particularly those who voted for us) for voting in large numbers and reaffirming the core value of our system — voting is important. Thank you to the town committees and selectmen and poll workers who support the election process. Thank you to our numerous supporters who
support for our candidacies. Although the numbers came up short for us, the process works and New Hampshire is positioned to improve the lives of its citizens and regain the credibility lost over the last two years. We expect great things from Lisa DiMartino. She has energy and vision and integrity which she is willing to devote on our behalf. We hope that Collette, Bob and Herb will rise to challenge of participating in a bi-partisan process for the benefit of all New Hampshire residents. There are many problems to be solved and much work to be done in Concord. Kate Miller & Sandy Mucci
LETTERS Thanks for nominating candidates out of touch with reality To the editor, Let the whining begin! Its the end of the world.....AGAIN! Obama is a dictator and we will lose our freedoms! Which freedoms? I have yet to get any details. Richard R. Gerken tells us that “Obama has proven you can fool most of the people, most of the time”. Really? Who fooled who? Here is a list of people who fooled Richard R. Gerken, Steve Earle, Dr. Norman A. Roswick and the rest of the crazies: Glenn Beck, Newt Gingrich, Dick Morris, Laura Ingraham, Bill Kristol, George Will, Bill O’Reilly, Carl Rove, Michael Barone, John Boehner, Sarah Palin, Sean Hannity, Charles Krauthammer, Rush Limbaugh, Peggy Noonan, Ari Fleischer, John Kasich, Tom Ridge, American Conservative Union, Red State Blog, Washington Times Robbins reports, Rasmussen Polls and yes, UnskewedPolls’ Dean Chambers! That is just a start of a list of people who believe their own skewed nonsense. Just a working class hero, I studied
all the polls and knew Romney “could” win but the deck was stacked bigtime against him in the battleground states. I guessed 303 or 332 electoral votes and a two million vote edge for Obama. I was wrong on the popular; it was three million. How did the right wing echo chamber do with the polling data? A big Romney win they said. They hoodwinked millions of conservatives who bought in to their inept delusions and denials. Nothing in the data supported any of the predictions the noise machine made yet they just jabbered away anyway. Progressives give thanks to all the right wingers for believing everything the noise machine says and writes and for nominating candidates that are clearly out of touch with reality. And for saying the stupidest things. Without you we couldn’t have done it. James Veverka Tilton
Blessed are those who worked hard to keep this evil from us To the editor, “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing”, Edmund Burke could have been talking about about our past election. We had a choice in which we could have chosen a genuine American and good man who loves our country and whose intent was to do her good; and an evil man who, while telling America he is a champion of the middle class, will institute policies that will break the back of the middle class. He will cause conservatives in Congress to compromise with him not because they are weak but because they are decent men who care about the American people. He will use the poor and the middle class as a human shield so to speak to accomplish his greater end, that is to weaken America. A strong America is perhaps the last obstacle to the creating of a one-world government on the model of Hobbes’ Leviathan, or if you will, the book of Revelation. If he can weaken America and make her and the rest of the world ready, as the collapse of America will have a dramatic consequence for the rest of the world, to accept a one world government —
have done his job and he will have his reward. Some of us did not do anything; some of us did not do enough; blessed are the people who did everything in their power to keep this evil from coming upon us. Some fornicated their way to this destruction along with Planned Parenthood. Some were just plain deceived. Some made it happen with eyes wide open. I believe we owe Mitt Romney a big thank you for fighting such a valiant campaign on our behalf. Thank you Mitt. There is always the hope that patriotic Americans, both liberal and conservative, libertarian any other stripe, will see this evil and we will be able to impeach this president before it is too late, otherwise we are witnessing the end of America, the approaching of the return of our Lord and all of the evil that must transpire prior to His return. Therefore let every believer in the Lord Jesus Christ fortify ourselves in the Lord, for the days are evil and will grow darker until His return. John Demakowski

LETTERS The rejection of honest truth is why GOP is no longer trusted To the editor, In most revolutions, a committed minority persuades the majority of people to follow it. In a similar manner, a political party becomes dysfunctional when it has been overrun by its most extreme elements and a closed information system is used to inform its members. The “truth” has no relevance to its leaders who are not troubled with their blatantly false political ads, facts, or polls. This is exactly why the Republican Party’s future, as a national party, is in doubt. The Tea Party, Murdoch’s newspapers and Fox News, and pundits such as Rush Limbaugh have created a “political monster” that has destroyed the GOP. Constantly telling an audience that taxes have gone up under President Obama or that we spend $1 trillion on welfare or that lowering taxes on billionaires will spur the economy are among the many falsehoods, that even Republicans are starting to acknowledge. Everyone remembers, the famous declaration by the Romney pollster Neil Newhouse that “we’re not going to let our campaign be dictated by fact-checkers.” It is especially noteworthy that when President Obama and Governor Christie surveyed storm damage on the Jersey shore, Fox TV played footage of the burning consulate in Bengazi, Libya. You may ask “ What so bad about having a news source that only pushes stories from a conservative point of view? I’ll tell you what’s so bad. If one only gets deceptive information from
these outlets that reflects ultra rightwing policies, the most extreme Tea Party candidates will be the only ones winning Republican primaries. The depth of the problem with the truth was further demonstrated on election night when President Obama passed the 270 electoral-vote threshold. Fox News commentators including Carl Rove of American Crossroads Super Pac contended that Romney still had thousands of votes not yet counted in Ohio and could win the election. All the other news outlets reported that the president had indeed been re-elected and reported the true election numbers. This rejection of honest truth is why the Republican Party is no longer trusted to run the nation. When the party intentionally turns its back on the middle class, minorities, women (especially single women) immigrants, gays and lesbians it is only a matter of time before it will disappear. It is no mystery why nearly all of the Tea Party candidates for U.S. Senate seats were defeated in this election. Despite spending over a billion dollars, Romney failed to get as many votes as John McCain did in 2008. Republicans such as Bill O’Reilly chalked up the loss to an increase in non-white voters. If that is true, how can he explain Obama’s overwhelming victory in the low-minority states of New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine that elected him by an average margin of 18.9 percent?

If you want to know what happened in Benghazi, sign the petition To the editor, If you want to sign a petition demanding a full investigation into the massacre at Benghazi, go to DickMorris.com. He has a petition and preprinted letters to send to our congressional delegation asking them to ask the oversight committee to look into this. For anyone who doesn’t know, four Americans — our ambassador to Libya and three Navy Seals were murdered by al Queda terrorists on Sept. 11th while Obama looked on in real time on a video cast from a drone. The people in the consulate asked in the months prior to the
attack for more protection and called frantically looking for help several times on the day the attack occurred and Obama just let them die. There is much speculation he was using the embassy to transfer weapons from Libya to the “insurgents” in Syria — in other words, al Queda — our enemy. If you want to know what happened and have had enough of their shuffling around, trying to avoid facing the music — please go to this website and sign the petition. Thank you.

Today, we observe National Education Support Professional Day To the editor, November 14, 2012 will mark the annual observance of the National Education Support Professional Day; a time for saluting our public school Education Support Professionals (ESPs) and the contribution that they make to public education. The interaction between children, parents, and ESPs is vital to the continued success of public education. Our local ESPs include the paraeducators and secretaries in our five Laconia schools. This day began in 1987 when the National Education Association (NEA) called for the creation of a special way to honor the contributions of school support staff. It was first celebrated that year and has been observed each year since then on the Wednesday during American Education Week.

We impact the lives of the children we work with every day in our own special and professional way. Parents and community members, I want you to know how ESPs serve as equal and essential partners in public education. A simple “thank you” for these hard working, dedicated professionals would be welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking time to read this letter. I speak for myself and all other ESPs in the Laconia School District to let you know that we are proud to have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of your children.

Belmont man accused of choking his wife BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A Belmont man was released on $10,000 personal recognizance bail yesterday after being charged with choking his wife and pulling a phone cord from the wall to prevent her from calling police. Curcuit Count Judge Jim Carroll also ordered Brian Beaudry, 45, of 124 Concord St. Apt 3 to live in Franklin and to have no direct contact with his wife unless he or she sets up formal counseling sessions. He is charged with one felony count of second degree assault, one class A misdemeanor for simple assault, one Class A misdemeanor for false imprisonment, and one Class A misdemeanor for obstructing the reporting of a crime. Belmont Police affidavits say two officers, including a supervisor, responded to the Concord Street address for a report of a disturbance at 1:28 a.m. Tuesday. Beaudry’s wife said she had been in an altercation with her husband and that he had pushed her and grabbed her around the neck and choked her. Police said there were visible red marks on her upper chest and neck. She told police when she went to use a land line to call them but Beaudry allegedly pulled the cord and broke it. She said he pushed her down and began choking her from behind to the point where she had trouble breathing and couldn’t yell. She told the supervisor that at one point he stopped choking her and she was able to get up. She told him that went she tried to leave the apartment he blocked her. She told police he locked the window. She told police she was able to get away when she saw someone walk by the apartment and she screamed. A police affidavits filed with the court said that when police asked Beaudry why he blocked the door, he told them “she didn’t need to go anywhere.” Beaudry was held overnight on $10,000 cash-only bail until his video appearance yesterday morning.
3 KIDS from page 2 in this,” he said. Authorities were called to the home by the children’s frantic grandfather after he discovered the letters and was unable to force open the garage door. Despite the grisly scene, investigators found no signs the children were forced into the car and believe all five died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Until last week, the children had spent the last three years living with their grandparents, Sandy and Randy Ford, and their uncle at the house in a residential neighborhood close to the Michigan state line. Their mother, Mandy Hayes, had asked her mom for help caring for the three children because a fourth child at the home was becoming disruptive, said children’s services representatives and a family friend. “She was just being protective,” said the friend, Cammie Turner. While the children were living with their grandparents, their parents saw them almost every day and went on outings to parks and the zoo, Turner said. “Their kids mean everything to them,” she said. But recently Hayes had decided they should all return home, and the children moved back in with their parents last week, upsetting Hayes’ mother, Turner said. “Mandy wasn’t taking the kids away from her entirely,” she said. “She wanted them home. It wasn’t like she was taking them and grandma could never see them again.” Turner said Hayes had confided that her mother was controlling, but she never seemed alarmed by it. “It doesn’t make sense,” she said. “I can’t imagine. To have your mom ...” Police were at the house last week and children’s services workers met with both sides of the family, most recently on Saturday, said Dean Sparks, executive director of Lucas County Children Services.

Developer says 116 new Laconia apartments to be constructed off Mile Hill Road next year Consideration of Tower Hill Tavern music venue plan delayed for a month BY MIKE MORTENSEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Plans to build a 116-unit apartment complex on Appleridge Road are expected to move forward after having laid dormant for years. Dick Anagnost, owner of Anagnost Properties of Manchester, told the Planning Board Tuesday, that on Nov. 1 he became the owner of the two lots totalling 15 acre near Mile Hill Road and plans to begin work on the project once he receives the necessary state permits and financing. The Apple Ridge project was among several issues on the agenda for the board’s meeting held at the Weirs Community Center. A scheduled public hearing on a request by the owners of the Tower Hill Tavern at Weirs Beach to convert the top floor of the establishment into a live music venue was rescheduled to the board’s December meeting at the request of the applicants. The board granted Appleridge a one-year extension to complete the project which, according to approved plans will consist of 116 garden-style apartments in three buildings. In his brief appearance before the board, Anagnost said his company has built a total of 1,200 multifamily housing units over the past seven or eight years. He said that he first needs to reapply for state permits which the previous developer had obtained but which have since expired. He also said that he JACKSON from page 2 of the people aboard the Piper PA-32 single-engine plane. A single home was hit, said Jackson Fire Department Assistant Chief R.D. Simpson and a coroner was on the scene. Roger and Michele Latham, from Superior Pallet Company in Flowood, Miss., own the plane, said their grown daughter, Emily Latham. Latham was near the crash site and said her father was supposed to have been on board but changed his plans. “He went hunting,” she said. “Thank God.” Witnesses say large flames and black smoke rose about 50 feet from a burning house that was hit in the neighborhood of modest, single-family homes surrounded by big magnolia and oak trees about a half-mile from the zoo. The plane had just departed Hawkins Field Airport headed for Raymond, Miss., the FAA said.
wants to review the existing plans to see if there are more efficient ways to develop the project. Work on the Appleridge project, originally scheduled to be completed in 2007, never got under way. It ultimately ended up in bankruptcy as the result of the financial collapse of Financial Resources Mortgage Co. — or FRM. After meeting with the board, Anagnost said he hoped to begin construction in the spring or early summer and have the project completed by next September. Regarding the Tower Hill Tavern hearing postponement, board Chairman Warren Hutchins said the owner had informed the Planning Department that there was more “work to be done” to get ready for the hearing. The proposal has aroused controversy about the level of noise and the adequacy of parking. Owner Anthony Santagate says there are enough public parking spaces at the boat docks to accommodate the proposed use of the building. But opponents of the project have suggested Santagate should be required to provide sufficient parking by leasing spaces from nearby property owners as other businesses do. In addition the board continues to wrestle with the issue of noise raised by nearby residents and businesses, especially those offering overnight accommodation. The plane took off at 5:10 p.m. and shortly after, the pilot asked for permission to return to the airport, according to a news release from the Jackson Municipal Airport Authority. The plane was unable to return and crashed. Vivian Payne, who lives about six blocks from the crash site, said she heard a loud bang that sounded different from an electrical transformer blowing. “It shook the walls of my house,” Payne said as she stood among ambulances, police cars and fire trucks, their lights flashing in the chilly night air. The weather in Jackson is partly cloudy in the 40s. The National Transportation Safety Board along with the FAA will be investigating the cause of the crash.

BudCom gives Belmont Public Works another $10k to fill roadway cracks BY GAIL OBER
BELMONT — The Budget Committee added $10,000 to the Public Works Department budget last night to allow the department funds for roadway crack sealing. Director Jim Fortin had eliminated the $10,000 from his requested budget telling the committee that while he can always use the appropriation, he was trying to keep his budget as low as possible. “It is preventative maintenance but it is crazy expensive,” he said.
After Tonyel Mitchell-Berry made the motion, member Susan Harris asked him if he really needed it. “Absolutely” said Fortin, noting that while some roads need complete resurfacing, he likes to use it on the roads that are about five years old and just beginning to crack. “Those are the ones you want to protect.” Overall, the Public Works Department budget is $1,281,928 up from $1,172,614, or about 8.5, percent from last year. Much of the increase is due to increase in state retirement contributions, health and dental insurance and a one percent increase in
annual wages. The above includes the Public Works administration, highways and streets and the Highway Block Grant of $166,094 — the money returned from the state to the individual towns. Fortin said he uses the block grant primarily for paving projects. He has also recommended hiring one part-time person to assist primarily at night with snow removal in the village area. In addition, the Public Works Budget proposed a lease-purchase (four years) of a refurbished sidewalk plow. Fortin said the cost is about $13,400 annually.
SCANDAL from page 2 paid to Kelley. Petraeus acknowledged the affair and resigned Friday. In the course of looking into that situation, federal investigators came across what a Pentagon official called “inappropriate communications” between Allen and Kelley, both of them married. According to one senior U.S. official, the emails between Allen and Kelley were not sexually explicit or seductive but included pet names such as “sweetheart” or “dear.” The official said that while much of the communication — including some from Allen to Kelley — is relatively innocuous, some could be construed as unprofessional and would cause a reasonable person to take notice. That official, as well as others who described the investigation, requested anonymity on grounds that they were not authorized to discuss the situation publicly. The FBI decided to turn over the Allen information to the military once the bureau recognized it contained no evidence of a federal crime, according to a federal law enforcement official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter on the record and
demanded anonymity. Adultery, however, is a crime under the Uniform Code of Military Justice. A senior defense official said that the FBI first notified the Pentagon of the Allen matter at 4:15 p.m. EST on Sunday. The Pentagon’s top lawyer, Jeh Johnson, then called Defense Secretary Leon Panetta’s chief of staff, Jeremy Bash, about 5 p.m. as Bash and Panetta were flying to Honolulu aboard a military jet to begin a weeklong Asia trip. Bash then informed Panetta. Allen was not suspended from his military position, even though his nomination for promotion is on hold. The White House will soon be deciding how many troops will remain in Afghanistan — and for what purposes — after the U.S.-led combat operation ends in 2014. Allen has provided his recommendations to the White House and is key to those discussions. Still more subplots in the story emerged Tuesday with news that both Allen and Petraeus wrote letters last September on behalf of Jill Kelley’s twin sister, Natalie Khawam, in a messy custody dispute. In 2011, a judge had denied Khawam custody of her 3-year-old son, saying she “appears to lack any appreciation or respect for the importance of honesty and integrity in
her interactions with her family, employers and others with whom she comes in contact.” Allen, in his letter, wrote of Khawam’s “maturity, integrity and steadfast commitment to raising her child.” Petraeus wrote that he’d been host for the Kelley family and Khawam and her son for Christmas dinner, and he described a loving relationship with her son. That also indicated how close the Petraeus and Kelley families had been. Kelley served as a sort of social ambassador for U.S. Central Command in Tampa, hosting parties for Petraeus when he was commander there from 2008-10. The friendship with the Petraeus began when they arrived in Tampa, and the Kelleys threw a welcome party at their home, a short distance from Central Command headquarters, introducing the new chief and his wife, Holly, to Tampa’s elite, according to staffers who served with Petraeus. Such friendships among senior military commanders and prominent local community leaders are common at any base, a relationship where the officers invite local people to exclusive military see next page

FLECK from page one came through the woods behind the tent and identified themselves as police. He estimated the three got within 25 yards of the shelter and it took Fleck about “a couple of minutes” to leave. Young said Fleck ran toward the cemetery while he and three other officers including Canfield made sure no one else was in the shelter and that it was secure. Young said he saw the shotgun hanging from the ropes just like Fleck’s cousin described. He said there were a lot of electronic items strewn about the floor, describing the shelter as being about 6-feet by 8-feet in area and about 4-feet high. “There was so much clutter it was hard to see what was in there,” he said. He said there appeared to be two entrances, each covered by flaps. He also said it was well camouflaged with twigs and leaves and was not visible from the cemetery. Sr. Patrol Officer Jonathan Howe testified next and said he is firearms certified and though he is not a hunter, he knows what a shotgun looks like. He said he was set on the perimeter that day and waited about five or 10 minutes until Young and his fellow officers got near Fleck’s shelter. He said he saw Fleck run from the shelter and he and Lt. Richard Simmons initially had their weapons drawn. He said they realized Fleck didn’t have anything in his hand so he said they holstered their guns and began chasing Fleck, who was running toward Lt. Al Lessard and Capt. Bill Clary. Howe said Fleck jumped over a brook while he and Simmons were chasing him and when he saw Lessard and Clary, he reached into his sweatshirt. Howe deployed his Taser — a pronged electriccharge stun gun — and Fleck went down. He said Fleck had been reaching for a knife. Howe said he took him to the station and booked him, but Fleck refused to be interviewed. Howe testified that he remembered taking a report about a stolen shotgun from a Beech Street resident and said the one recovered from Fleck was similar — a pump-action 12-gauge designed for a left-handed person. He said the victim and his father later positively identified the gun. from preceding page events and functions, and the invitees respond by providing private funding to support troops with everything from morale-boosting “Welcome Home” parades to assistance for injured combat veterans. Petraeus aides say Jill Kelley took it to another level, winning the title of “honorary ambassador” from the countries involved in the Afghan war for her extensive entertaining at her home on behalf of the command, throwing parties that raised her social status in Tampa through the reflected glow of the four-star general in attendance. Petraeus even honored Kelley and her husband with an award given to them in a special ceremony at the Pentagon.
Tina Nadeau, chief justice of the New Hampshire Superior Court, center, talks with Jim Warren, clerk of Belknap County Superior Court, and Judge James D. O’Neill III, about how drug courts work in other New Hampshire counties. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
DRUG COURT from page one up of judges, representatives from law enforcement, the county attorney’s office, public defenders, local treatment providers and probation officers. ‘’This is not a slap on the wrist, not a ticket out of jail and is not coddling offenders,’’ said Nadeau, who went on to explain that those involved in the program have to come to court once a week, are drug tested randomly three times a week as well as meet regularly with treatment counselors. Cases are reviewed weekly and sanctions, including jail time, are imposed immediately if a participant fails to meet the programs requirements. ‘’When they find out they can’t game the system any more, we see them start to make progress,’’ she said, noting that people who are honest about relapses may be able to avoid sanctions but only if the drug court team reaches a consensus that it would be appropriate not to impose sanctions. ‘’It is important that we speak with one voice to offenders,’’ said Nadeau, who pointed out that participation in the program requires that those in the program are no longer represented by their own attorneys, but by the public defenders office. Nadeau said that recidivism from those enrolled in Drug Court programs is 20-percent lower than that from those who serve jail sentences and receive treatment or counseling there, rather than in a community-based program. She said it was a cost-effective method for dealing with drug addicted offenders and provides a
method for those with serious drug addictions to receive treatment. When Grafton County set up its program in 2007 it was estimated that it cost the county $26,000 a year to house one prisoner in the Grafton County jail, compared to about $10,000 for each participant in drug court.. Rockingham two years ago became the third Superior Court in the state to establish a drug court program. Similar programs are in operation in Superior Courts in Grafton and Strafford Counties and for juvenile offenders in Laconia, Nashua and Concord. County Commission Chairman Ed Philpot of Laconia said that a drug court program is a part of the community corrections program being developed by the county, which is designing a new jail facility whose design will be based in great measure on the programs provided for prisoners. Philpot said 85 percent of those incarcerated in Belknap County are there serving for drug and alcohol related offenses and that the county works with Genesis Behavrioral Health and New Horizons on programs to deal with their problems. He said that he liked the Strafford County model for a drug court and that a coordinated process is needed to deal with the mental health and alcohol and drug problems. Nadeau urged the county to apply for a federal grant to help set up the program and said that training for all involved, from judges to law enforcement and public defenders was an important part of getsee next page Invitation to Bid Technology Audit

Gilmanton tax rate comes in at $23.42, down 12¢ GILMANTON — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2012 property tax rate at $23.42. The total amount to be raised by property taxes increased $37,038, from $11,105,039 to $11,142,077. The assessed valuation rose $4,336,954, from
$474,066,264 to $478,403,218. The town portion of the tax rate fell 31 cents to $7.74 and the state education tax six cents to $2.36 while the local school tax rose 25 cents to $13.93 and the county tax remained $1.36.
from preceding page ting the program up and running. Laconia Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll said that he had worked closely with law enforcement and Jesse Friedman of the Public Defenders Office to help identify juveniles who would benefit from a drug court program and that trying to establish a program without money was very difficult. Questioned about whether the Drug Court should be the province of Superior Court or District Court, Nadeau said that there was no reason it had to be in one court only but that efforts would need to be made to avoid duplication of resources and that most drug courts were set up to deal with felony level offenses, Philpot said it was important that there not be duplication and that it was important that an effec-
tive treatment program be developed so that judges would feel a comfort level with recommending defendants to the program when they impose sentences. County Attorney Melissa Guldbransen said that at some point the county might have to look at hiring someone who could look at all of the issues with the drug court program who might serve in the capacity of a case manager to keep tabs on all elements of the program. State Senator Jeanie Forrester observed that the drug court programs actually save the state money, as many of the sentences which are imposed would be served in the state prison, which means counties are picking up the tab, although at a lesser cost, for those in the drug court programs.
DOWNTOWN from page one roadways, drainage, sidewalks, landscaping, utilities and so on — within the TIF district. Half of the incremental revenues will be reinvested in the TIF district and half deposited in the general fund. Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation who manages the advisory committee, said the account for the downtown TIF has a balance of approximately of $314,000. Dunleavy reminded the council that the committee hosted a charette in March, which was attended by some 85 people, to identify projects to be undertaken downtown. Subsequently the committee reported to the council that public restrooms topped the list followed by the two improvements to the streetscape. “What’s this for?” blurted Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who found $50,000 to prepare conceptual designs of “a bathroom and some landscaping . . . unbelievable. It may be TIF money,” he said, “but it’s taxpayer money.” He recalled that $60,000 was spent on a two-way traffic study for portions of Beacon Street that the council rejected out of hand. Lahey questioned the need for public restrooms and was echoed by Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward-5), who said “they’re sure to be vandalized” and asked
“who’s going to maintain them?” Before committing to spending $50,000 to design the projects, he asked for estimates of the costs to complete them. Warren Clement, who serves on the advisory committee, countered that “we’re a tourist community. People want to go to the bathroom. If you want a community that’s sensitive to its people and visitors, you may have to do some things you don’t want to do.” Told that the restrooms were planned for the parking lot between Pleasant Street and Main Street, Hamel said that two weeks ago the council anguished over the loss of one parking space on Main Street and now was facing dedicating three or four to build restrooms. Referring to the downtown “parking problem,” Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), said that public restrooms were a lower priority than adequate parking. Hamel suggested using TIF funds to add an exterior staircase, covered by glass, to the parking garage, which he believed would encourage more people to use it. Lahey said that there is no long-term plan for downtown and questioned making piecemeal improvements that could be undone and proposed see next page

2012 Alton property tax rate calculated at $13.69, an increase of 61¢ ALTON — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2012 property tax rate at $13.68, an increase of 61 cents. The total amount to be raised by property taxes increased by $755,849, from $18,666,776 to
$19,422,625. The assessed valuation decreased by $9,160,650 from $1,446020,203 to $1,436,859,553. The town portion of the tax rate rose 16 cents to $3.68, the local school tax 45 cents to $6.02 and the state education tax a penny to $2.55 while the county tax fell a penny to $1.43.
RALLY from page one for us to be front and center on Weirs Beach.” He recalled that when the association was formed its spent its first two years at Funspot and its next two at the Lakes Region Plaza in Gilford where Lowe’s stands today before moving to the Weirs Beach Lobster Pound for a decade and finally to he Weirs Beach Waterslide, where it has spent the last eight years. St. Clair said that Rally Headquarters serves as “clearinghouse” for visitors to the rally, a retail outlet for the sale of official T-shirts and the staging area for the Gypsy Tours and consequently requires the visibility and space only the boardwalk can provide. He said that the Gypsy Tours, which are insured by the American Motorcycle Association, must be carefully monitored and if parking were prohibited alongside the boardwalk until 10:30 a.m. when the tours depart, the boardwalk offered the space needed to manage the riders. Acknowledging that vendors who have rented the spaces in the past would be displaced, he said that he had spoken with several property owners and received at least one offer to guarantee five spaces for vendors who have rented from the city on the boardwalk. Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) was the first to support St. Clair’s request. Reading from a pre-
pared statement, she recounted the history of the rally from its beginning in 1916, noting that by 1990 attendance had shrunk to just 38,000. She said that a year later St. Clair created the association and revived the rally, which this year drew 350,000 motorcyclists and visitors. As for the economic impact of the rally, Baer remarked “someone else can measure that, but its immeasurable.” The city, she noted, pays $2,000 in annual dues to the association and collects net revenue of more than $50,000 from the rally. Without disagreeing, Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) cautioned the council against a hasty decision. He said councilors should consider the foregone income from the rental of the spaces, which amounts to $9,600, as well as the logistics of dealing with the vendors and staging the Gypsy Tours. Volunteering to deal with the displaced vendors, St. Clair said “I’ll be the bad guy.” He also reminded the councilors that they lowered the rent for the spaces for want of demand for them. Baer reminded Hamel that together St. Clair and Jennifer Anderson had managed the rally successfully for the past 21 years and could be trusted to resolve whatever logistic issues might arise from moving rally headquarters. — Michael Kitch
from preceding page inviting Planning Director Shanna Saunders to the next council meeting to discuss whether to pursue incremental improvements like those proposed by the advisory committee or to plan a major “overhaul” of downtown. NOTE: The City Council voted unanimously to support the decision of the Water Commission to end negotiations with the town of Belmont toward an agreement to extend water service to Mountain Lake Village, a planned subdivision on Mile Hill Road. Negotiations reached a stalemate over responsibility for the cost of maintaining the fire protection
system, which consists of charges for the upkeep of hydrants, based on the number of hydrants, and pipelines, based on their diameter and length. The Laconia Water Commission requires that since the town benefits from the installation of the fire protection system, it should be responsible for the charges while Belmont insists both charges should be billed directly to the developer or ultimate owner of the property. Initially proposed by local attorney Phil Brouillard, the principal of Mountain Lake Village, LLC, in 2004, the project has been granted five extensions since it was approved by the Laconia Planning Board in 2005 and the Belmont Planning Board a year later. Although the developer is reportedly ready to proceed with the project, without an agreement there will be no progress.

OBITUARIES
Judith A. French, 70
MOULTONBOROUGH — Judith Ann French, 70, died peacefully in her home at Jonathan’s Landing in Moultonborough, NH on Saturday, November 10th, 2012, surrounded by family. She was born in Nashua, NH, the daughter of Ralph S. and Elizabeth (Trufant) French. The family moved to Bedford, MA, where she was a member of the Girl Scouts and the Eastern Star. She graduated from Bedford High School in 1959 and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Psychology from the University of Vermont in 1964. Judi had a long career as a distinguished Human Resources Specialist and executive for several government-contract corporations, including divisions of General Dynamics and Unisys. She was very dedicated to her work and was highly respected by her coworkers, many of whom became lifelong friends. After her retirement she moved to Moultonborough, where she was a volunteer for multiple town committees, and held leadership roles on the Board of Directors of both the Jonathan’s Landing and Meredith Bay Village Condominium Associations. She will be remembered most for her love of family and friends, her intellect, her generosity, and her sense of humor and wit. She loved to laugh and make others laugh with her. Family gatherings were very important to Judi, especially spending time at “camp” each summer – Cobbetts Pond in her youth, coastal Maine, and many summers at a cot-
tage on Lake Winnipesauke. She was an avid reader and collector of books across a wide variety of subjects. She loved fresh tomatoes, arts and crafts, movies, writing poetry and playing bridge. She was an ardent fan of the University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers basketball team. Survivors include her brother Richard French and his wife Suzanne of Rochester, NH, her uncle Richard Trufant and his wife Regina of Muncy, PA, her uncle John French of Epsom, NH, many special cousins, and a wide circle of friends including her dear Bedford Five. She was predeceased by her father, Ralph S. French in 2002 and her mother, Elizabeth A. French in March of 2012. A memorial service will be held at The First Church, UCC, Nashua, NH on Monday, November 26th at 1:00 pm, with the Reverend Dr. Jeffrey C. Evans officiating. Donations in memory of Judi may directed to the Central New Hampshire VNA and Hospice (780 North Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246), the South Barnstead Cemetery Association (c/o Richard French, 2 Kirsten Avenue, Rochester, NH 03867), and The First Church, UCC, Nashua (1 Concord Street, Nashua, NH 03064). Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street, Laconia, N.H. is assisting the family with the arrangements.

Audubon Society Laconia Leafs donate ticket sales for three announces change in weekend games to WLNH Children’s Auction Thursday night program MOULTONBOROUGH — On Thursday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire had scheduled a presentation titled “The Moose Man.” Unfortunately, the presenter has been hospitalized, and that program will be rescheduled. Instead, the presentation will be the award-winning film Green Fire: Aldo Leopold and a Land Ethic for Our Time. It is the first feature length (72 min.), high-definition documentary film ever made about famed conservationist Aldo Leopold, and portrays how Leopold’s vision of a community that cares about both people and land — his call for a land ethic — ties modern conservation stories together, and offers inspiration and insight for the future. Emmy-Award winning narrator Peter Coyote lends his talent as the voice of Aldo Leopold, and the film’s on-screen guide is Curt Meine, Leopold’s biographer. The film explores Aldo Leopold’s life in the early part of the twentieth century, and the many ways his land ethic idea continues to be applied all over the world today. In partnership with the U.S. Forest Service, the film also celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Weeks Act, the law that lead to the creation of many of our eastern national forests, and sparked the long-term effort to replant and restore forests that still continues today. “Aldo Leopold is one of our nation’s most beloved nature writers,” says environmental historian Susan Flader. “His A Sand County Almanac, published posthumously in 1949, has become a catalyst for our evolving ecological awareness and a classic in American literature.” Leopold is regarded by many as one of the most influential conservation thinkers of the twentieth century, and the film highlights the ways his legacy continues to encourage us to see the natural world “as a community to which we belong.” The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs from Route 109 or from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School. Refreshments will be served.

Free class helps parents avoid stress of the holidays FRANKLIN — A free class for parents to help avoid the stress of the Holidays is being hosted at Red Oak Montessori School in Franklin on Friday, November 16, from 9-10:30 a.m. Educator, and former Red Oak Board Chair Gwen Palmer says: “Before you get yourself (and your family) all stressed out with baking, shopping, decorating, entertaining, traveling or hosting, wrapping, cardwriting...give yourself the gift of coming to this seminar! We’ll discuss how to create holidays that are more peaceful, sane, and meaningful from the get-go.” Topics will include: choosing events and gettogethers (and why sometimes you should say “no”
to them); juggling family gatherings and traditions—recognizing that it’s difficult within a nuclear family, but more complicated with in-laws, blended families, and more; how to take stock of the “have to” traditions, make meaningful choices about the old traditions, and maybe helping your family create new ones; how to avoid making the holidays a stressful time for your kids, and how to find your peaceful moments and not end up hating the whole season. Red Oak Montessori School is located at 241 Sanborn Street in Franklin. RSVP by November 14 by calling the School at 934-1002 or by visiting Red Oak on Facebook at www.facebook.com/redoakmontessori.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis may find yourself searching outside of yourself for the strength to continue on in a project or relationship. But the world can’t offer this fuel. It’s something you can only get from a fire within. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It takes two flints to make a fire, two to tango and two to make a thing go right. You’ll find yourself wondering whether there’s anything worth doing that you could accomplish with only one. Hint: There is! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s been said that misery loves company, but the truer statement is that misery loves a nurse. Unless you are qualified, don’t walk willingly into a situation where someone is obviously infirm. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe the reason you struggle to say certain words is that they are not entirely accurate. You’ll find more fitting words after you’ve given some thought to what is really true. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you choose to share your opinions, your dear ones will either find your level of insight astounding, or they will feel stripped of their defenses and become incensed. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 14). The year is marked by your high ideals and level of personal responsibility. Because you’re committed to doing things in the right way, you’ll be noticed and promoted in an arena that matters to you. Family celebrates you in December. January drops fresh fun into your life. Invest in new business this March. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 31, 2, 35, 38 and 19.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Old people are just as happy as younger people, if not more. So why fear age? The effects of years? Trust that they will be good to you, and allow yourself to develop naturally without worry. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a story to tell to anyone who stops to talk to you. Some might even say that you’ve perfected the art of storytelling. This is a skill that will take you far. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your guiding planet changed stations yesterday, urging you to make positive conclusions about what has happened to you. Because you see the upside, you’ll continue to experience it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Absolutely everything has an associated risk. Not only do risk-takers win, but you absolutely cannot win unless you are willing to take a risk. Evening will reveal to you the perfect partner. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It is not necessary to understand the complexities. Just knowing that much work went into the reality of a situation and all for many reasons will be enough for now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to be with friends and family, and ideally this would happen on your own terms. Except that it won’t. The gettogether will be born out of the flexibility of everyone involved. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If everyone wants it their way and no one is willing to give in, the only possible outcome is disappointment on all fronts. Tolerance is an underrated virtue and one that keeps people together. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

Yesterday’s Answer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 14, 2012— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Nov. 14, the 319th day of 2012. There are 47 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 14, 1862, during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln gave the go-ahead for Maj. Gen. Ambrose Burnside’s plan to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond; the resulting Battle of Fredericksburg proved a disaster for the Union. On this date: In 1851, Herman Melville’s novel “Moby-Dick; Or, The Whale” was first published in the United States. In 1881, Charles J. Guiteau went on trial for assassinating President James A. Garfield. (Guiteau was convicted and hanged the following year.) In 1889, inspired by Jules Verne, New York World reporter Nellie Bly (Elizabeth Cochrane) set out to travel around the world in less than 80 days. (She made the trip in 72 days.) In 1910, Eugene B. Ely became the first aviator to take off from a ship as his Curtiss pusher rolled off a sloping platform on the deck of the scout cruiser USS Birmingham off Hampton Roads, Va. In 1922, the British Broadcasting Co. began its domestic radio service. In 1940, during World War II, German planes destroyed most of the English town of Coventry. In 1944, Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra recorded “Opus No. 1” for RCA Victor. In 1969, Apollo 12 blasted off for the moon. In 1970, a chartered Southern Airways DC-9 crashed while trying to land in Huntington, W.Va., killing all 75 people on board, including the Marshall University football team and its coaching staff. In 1986, the Securities and Exchange Commission imposed a $100 million penalty against inside-trader Ivan F. Boesky and barred him from working again in the securities industry. In 1997, a jury in Fairfax, Va., decided that Pakistani national Aimal Khan Kasi (eye-MAHL’ kahn KAH’-see) should get the death penalty for gunning down two CIA employees outside agency headquarters. One year ago: Former Penn State football assistant coach Jerry Sandusky, in an interview with NBC News’ “Rock Center,” denied allegations he’d sexually abused eight boys and said any activities in a campus shower with a boy were just horseplay. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Kathleen Hughes is 84. Former MLB All-Star Jimmy Piersall is 83. Former NASA astronaut Fred Haise is 79. Jazz musician Ellis Marsalis is 78. Britain’s Prince Charles is 64. Rock singer-musician James Young is 63. Singer Stephen Bishop is 61. Pianist Yanni is 58. Actress Laura San Giacomo is 51. Actor D.B. Sweeney is 51. Actor Patrick Warburton is 48. Rock musician Nic Dalton is 48. Country singer Rockie Lynne is 48. Pop singer Jeanette Jurado (Expose) is 47. Retired MLB All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling is 46. Rock musician Brian Yale is 44. Rock singer Butch Walker is 43. Actor Josh Duhamel is 40. Rock musician Travis Barker is 37. Contemporary Christian musician Robby Shaffer is 37. Actor Brian Dietzen is 35. Rapper Shyheim is 35. Rock musician Tobin Esperance (Papa Roach) is 33. Actress Olga Kurylenko is 33. Actor Graham Patrick Martin is 21.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 14, 2012— Page 21
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Recently, my husband mentioned that he wanted to get together with some friends for a project. I encouraged him to invite the guys to our home to work on it. I thought it would be a few hours, but it ended up taking well over 12. They arrived early in the morning and stayed until late that night, taking over our living room. I suggested in private to my husband that he should have wrapped things up by late afternoon. The project is for fun. It’s not like they had a deadline for work. It is also designed to continue on a weekly basis for the next six months, so committing to only a portion of the day would not have made much difference. My husband, however, is a people pleaser and didn’t feel he could ask his friends to leave before they wanted to. Would it be wise to discuss a lax but scheduled time of arrival and departure with them in the future, or am I being unfair to suggest that the party should move elsewhere after 10 hours? I want my husband and his friends to feel comfortable in our home, but I also don’t want my house invaded for such a long period of time. -- East Coast Dear East Coast: It is always wise to discuss time constraints in advance, particularly when overstaying annoys you so much. Some wives would have no objection to a 12hour marathon. They would occupy themselves elsewhere, and this is one option for you. But please discuss reasonable limits with your husband, allowing yourself to be the “bad guy” in order for him to ask his friends to leave when you’ve had enough. There is no point creating ill will with one’s spouse if it could easily be avoided. Dear Annie: My husband has been put on the lung transplant list, and we are praying and waiting. Please remind your readers about donating their organs. They only need
to mark the back of their driver’s licenses. Many people are desperate for a lung, and my husband’s time is getting shorter. -- Vermont Dear Vermont: People are also desperately waiting for kidneys, livers, hearts and corneas. We urge all of our readers to consider the gift of being an organ donor.
Dear Annie: I’d like to add another take to “Not a Fan of the Big Gulp.” I agree that a Big Gulp is probably a little over the top. However, I always bring my own canned soda to my family’s parties. You see, I am a recovering alcoholic with 24 years of sobriety. Sadly, my family members cannot be trusted not to add liquor to whatever is served. My sponsor suggested that I bring my own drink and keep it with me at all times. One can then be certain that alcohol-free drinks are neither tampered with nor inadvertently mixed with alcoholic drinks. At a bridal shower for my nephew’s fiancee, I brought my own soda. As I was leaving, my sister took me aside and told me that our niece had spiked the lemonade with vodka so people would “loosen up.” I was shocked and angry that this 37-year-old niece would pull such a juvenile and dangerous trick. Aside from my sobriety, she never considered that some guests may have been taking medication that could be lethal in combination with alcohol. -- Recovering Drunk Dear Recovering: We are certain that etiquette would give you a pass. We also heard from someone whose well water was tainted. But in most instances, it is rude to bring your own beverage to occasions where there is a variety served. And it is never appropriate to bring a Big Gulp.

Lakes Region featured in Cider Bellies donating profits from doughnut sales latest Essentially America on Saturday to United Nations Children Fund LACONIA — Amy Landers, Executive Director of the Lakes Region Tourism Association announced that the international publication Essentially America features the Lakes Region of New Hampshire and its autumn glory in their “North America’s Best Fall Foliage Towns and Villages” article. The issue is packed full of excursion ideas for “leaf peepers” in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire including cruising with the M/S Mount Washington as the best fall foliage viewpoint and taking in views from Castle in the Clouds. “We are so honored to have the Lakes Region of New Hampshire recognized by Essentially America magazine for our beautiful fall foliage,” states Landers. “Many people think of the Lakes Region in New Hampshire as a summer destination, especially with Wolfeboro being the “Oldest Summer Resort in America” as the article states. While this is certainly true there’s truly nothing like an autumn day touring our lakes and mountains!” The Autumn 2012 Essentially America issue is on stands now. The Lakes Region Tourism Association is the official tourism board of the region. For more information or visitors guides, visit LakesRegion.org or follow on Facebook or Twitter. The LRTA office and Visitor Center is located at 61 Laconia Road, Tilton, NH just off Exit 20 on I-93 and can be reached by calling 1-800-60-LAKES or 603-286-8008

MEREDITH — On Saturday, November 17, Cider Bellies Doughnuts at Moulton Farm in Meredith, will host its second “Doughnut Day”. A “Doughnut Day” is a day created by owner, Jessica Stephens, in which all the profits taken in from cider doughnut sales on that day are donated to a non-for-profit organization. Recently the staff at Cider Bellies Doughnuts learned that every day, more than 19,000 children die—and they don’t have to. They die from causes most people in the U.S. rarely worry about. Malnutrition. Unsafe drinking water. Lack of an affordable vaccine. In response to this statistics Cider Bellies Doughnuts will be donating 100% of its profits to the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) on November 17th. UNICEF works in more than 150 countries around the world. Since its inception, UNICEF has strived to reach as many children as possible with
effective, low-cost solutions to counter the biggest threats to their survival. UNICEF provides child immunizations and vaccinations to more than half of the world’s children, they provide families with clean drinking water and sanitation, helping nearly 1.8 billion people gain access to safe drinking water. They help protect children against malaria; in 2008 distributing more than 19 million anti-malaria bed nets. They provid nourishment to prevent malnutrition; in many famine-ravaged countries they are the main provider of ready-to-eat therapeutic foods that can bring children back from th brink of starvation. UNICEF participates in the fight against AIDS by caring for childre affected by AIDS and ensuring that infected pregnant women get the drugs they need to prevent transmission of the virus to their babies. They work to protect children from abuse, and strive to provide access to a quality education for all children.
