Holiday Parade marchers sought; must have shovel LACONIA — When Larry Frates was selected to be the grand marshal for the 2011 Holiday Parade, he knew he had to do it in his style. Which, it turns out, involves a choreographed group of people carrying snow shovels. “I really didn’t picture myself in the back of a car, waving,” said the vertically-challenged Frates. “They’d have to put a bunch of pillows underneath me to people would be see PaRade page 12

New plan envisions 2-way traffic around downtown loop By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Planning Department yesterday unveiled a plan that if adopted would open both Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West to two-traffic. Meanwhile, Dubois and King, Inc., the engineering firm planning the reconstruction of the Main Street bridge over the Winnipesaukee
River, is incorporating the prospect of the changed traffic pattern into its design. The city commissioned TEC, Inc. of Lawrence, Massachusetts to study traffic patterns in the center of the city, bounded by eight intersections — Main Street and Court Street/Union Avenue, Main Street and Beacon Street East/Beacon Street West, Main Street and Pleasant Street,
Beacon Street East and Church Street, Veteran’s Square, Pleasant Street and New Salem Street, Beacon Street West and Water Street — to assess the impact of two-way traffic on Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West. Although the full study is not yet complete, TEC undertook a separate analysis of see LOOP page 12

LACONIA — “It’s a win for the city, the county and above all for the inmates,” said Mike Seymour of the Parks and Recreation Department, who supervises crews from the Belknap County Jail sprucing up public spaces throughout the city. “They’re good workers who would be an asset to any business.” “It’s not a bad gig,” remarked Jarod Leroux, who with two fellow inmates was raking leaves at Opechee Park this week, “especially with weather like this.” He said that the opportunity to work outdoors provided an opportunity to contribute to the see INMates page 10

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — A California man was stunned to see what a previous owner of his minivan apparently left behind: $500,000 worth of cocaine jammed in the door panels. San Jose psychologist Charles Preston says the cellophane-wrapped cocaine was found when he took the van to a mechanic. Police were immediately notified. Preston says he noticed the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down all the way, but he figured he would live with it because the Town and Country van had a good air conditioning system. The San Jose Mercury News says Preston paid $14,000 to Thrifty Car Sales in Santa Clara for the 2008 white van in May 2010. Thrifty Car Sales owner Ron Battistella says he’s willing to replace the van with a drug-free ride.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday promised an extraordinarily thorough springtime review of President Barack Obama’s historic health care overhaul — more than five hours of argument, unprecedented in modern times — in time for a likely ruling affecting millions of Americans just before the presidential election. That ruling, expected before next summer’s Independence Day holiday, could determine the fate of Obama’s signature domestic achievement, the most far reach-
ing domestic legislation in a generation but a political lightning rod as well. It is vigorously opposed by all of Obama’s prospective GOP opponents. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act aims to provide health insurance to more than 30 million previously uninsured Americans. But Republicans have branded the law unconstitutional since before Obama signed it in a ceremony in March 2010. The court’s ruling could be its most significant and political decision since George W.
Bush’s 2000 presidential election victory. But the justices left themselves an opening to defer the outcome if they choose, by requesting arguments on one lower court’s ruling that a decision must wait until 2015, when one of the law’s many provisions takes effect. Legal experts have offered a range of opinions about what the high court might do. Many prominent Supreme Court lawyers believe the law will be upheld by a lopsided vote, with Republican and Demosee OBAMACARE page 11
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sidestepping controversy, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., declined to take sides Monday on a proposal for higher tax revenues backed by fellow Republicans on Congress’ supercommittee, yet expressed confidence the panel would agree on a deficit-reduction plan of at least $1.2 trillion by a Nov. 23 deadline. A proposal for $300 billion in higher taxes has stirred grumbling within the ranks of
congressional Republicans, for whom opposition to such measures has been political bedrock for more than two decades. Two of the party’s presidential hopefuls said Monday they wouldn’t support any committee deficit-reduction plan that includes higher taxes. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, campaigning in Iowa, said he would “do everything in my power to defeat” any such proposal.
A spokesman for Rick Perry said the Texas governor “wants to look at details but if those details include a tax increase he’s not going to be for it. He does not favor higher taxes,” added David Miner. Additionally, officials said that Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., who outlined the plan last week in a closed-door meeting of four Republicans and three Democrats, has encountered criticism from fellow consersee REPUBLICANS page 13
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Canadian pipeline developer TransCanada will shift the route of its planned oil pipeline out of the environmentally sensitive Sandhills area of Nebraska, two company officials announced Monday night. Speaking at a news conference at the
Nebraska Capitol, the officials said TransCanada would agree to the new route, a move the company previously claimed wasn’t possible, as part of an effort to push through the proposed $7 billion project. They expressed confidence the project would ultimately be approved.
Alex Pourbaix, TransCanada’s president for energy and oil pipelines, said rerouting the Keystone XL line would likely require 30 to 40 additional miles of pipe and an additional pumping station. The exact route has not yet been determined, see PIPELINE page 11

Lynch promises veto of casino gambling efforts CONCORD (AP) — Hoping to squelch efforts to expand gambling, Gov. John Lynch promised Monday to veto bills that would legalize video slots in New Hampshire. The Democratic governor told Republican legislative leaders the state does not have an adequate regulatory structure in place. He also reiterated past concerns about the possible effects on New Hampshire’s quality of life and that there would be no way to limit the number of casinos approved in the future. He also said he was concerned about the potential influence gambling lobbyists and industry officials would have on the state. “If New Hampshire was to allow expanded gambling, this one industry could come to represent a significant portion of the state revenues, potentially wielding outsized control over policy debates,” he said. Lynch said just because Massachusetts is close to a deal allowing casinos does not mean New Hampshire should also. “After a great deal of thought and consideration, I have determined that the risks to New Hampshire from expanded gambling are simply too high, and for that reason I will veto any legislation allowing casinos or (racetrack casinos) in our state,” Lynch wrote Senate President Peter Bragdon and House Speaker William O’Brien. The House appears ready to abandon its longstanding opposition to casinos. A House committee is recommending legalizing two casinos. Some of the state’s profit would be used to lower business taxes.
Supporters estimate the state’s share could be as much as $200 million a year. The proposal calls for the Lottery Commission to grant two $50 million licenses two years apart for casinos that would offer slot machines and table games. Each casino could install 5,000 video slot machines. The Senate has passed bills to legalize gambling in the past, but not the House. The House and Senate will vote on gambling bills early next year.
A Senate committee last week indicated it wants to keep its options open on legalizing four casinos with a maximum of 10,000 video slot machines. It is recommending that the full Senate vote to study the bill, but indicated that recommendation could change depending on what the House does. The Senate bill would not use the state’s profits to cut taxes. Like the House bill, two $50 million license would be granted, each qualifying for 3,500 video slots. A third license for $30 million would entitle the licensee to operate 2,000 machines and a fourth license for $15 million would allow operation see next page
50 workers laid off at DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center
Woman wounded as gunfire erupts in Loudon residence
LEBANON, N.H. (AP) — About 50 DartmouthHitchcock employees have lost their jobs as the health system works to close a $100 million budget deficit. Dartmouth-Hitchcock CEO James Weinstein said earlier this month that up to 100 positions would be eliminated over the next two months. The layoffs started Monday, with about 50 workers, none of whom are directly connected to patient care. Dartmouth-Hitchcock has 8,500 employees. More than three-quarters of them work at DartmouthHitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, and the rest are located primarily at larger clinics in Manchester, Concord, Nashua and Keene. Weinstein says some of the terminated workers might be eligible to fill other vacant positions. Several other hospitals also have announced layoffs since the state budget took effect July 1, and at least one has cut services to needy patients.
LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man has been charged in a shooting incident that seriously injured a woman. Police say they received a 911 call Sunday night reporting multiple shots fired from inside a Loudon residence. Authorities say they found 49-year-old Gina Hillson inside the residence with gunshot wounds to her abdomen and legs. Police say 44-year-old Mark Hillson has been charged with reckless conduct with a firearm resulting in serious injuries. He was being held on $25,000 bail.

Modest start to recycling ‘challenge’ BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council last night that during the first two weeks of the “Recycling Challenge,” the tonnage of recyclable materials increased 1.2-percent on the five collection routes and at the remote sites as recycling rose to 13.4-percent of all the waste collected. Undertaken in partnership with the schools, the challenge pits each of the five daily trash collection routes, along with the four remote recycling sites — the transfer station, Lakeport Fire Station, Weirs Community Center and City Garage on Messer Street — against one another in a contest to determine which can increase its percentage of recycled waste the most. Residents on Tuesday’s route posted the best results by recycling 8.63 tons, or 20-percent of the 42.43 tons of waste collected and two-percent more than the volume of recyclables collected before the challenge began. Monday’s route
also recorded a two-percent increase in recycling, but the 4.02 tons of recyclables represented 14-percent of the 28.11 tons of waste collected. The Wednesday, Thursday and Friday routes recycled the smallest share of waste and posted the smallest increase. The Wednesday and Thursday routes recycled 4.79 tons and 4.73 tons respectively, amounting to 11-percent of all waste while the Friday route recycled 4.14 tons, or 10-percent of its waste. Every ton taken out of the waste stream and recycled reduces the cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste, which is funded by property taxes, by more than $147.24 per ton. Apart from the challenge, the city has ordered 500 recycling bins to replace its depleted inventory. The bins are expected before the end of the week when residents can collect them from the Department of Public Works on Bisson Avenue. Alternatively any clearly marked rigid bin or barrel of 33 gallons or less can be used to recycle.
LYNCH from previous page of 1,000 machines. Licenses to operate table games would cost another $10 million. The Lottery Commission would have general oversight of the casinos. Millennium Gaming Inc. of Las Vegas proposes to building at Rockingham Park race track in Salem if lawmakers allow it. Millennium proposes investing $450 million in the project. Green Meadow Golf Club in Hudson also has said it would like a license for a proposed resort. “I think it makes sense to continue moving forward with the legislation and hopefully by the time it reaches the governor’s desk, he will be more comfortable and recognize the positive impact it will have on the people of New Hampshire,” said Millennium spokesman Jim Demers. House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt of Salem said Lynch offered no solution on how to “mitigate the substantial loss of our lottery revenue to Massachusetts through inaction in New Hampshire. “I am disappointed that Gov. Lynch has chosen to take this path and watch our citi-
zens’ money go to Massachusetts instead of keeping it here and attracting revenue from citizens from other states that could be used to create jobs here,” he said. State Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, a Manchester Democrat and sponsor of the Senate’s gambling bill, said not legalizing casinos will be a missed opportunity to create jobs. “I do believe it’s an opportunity missed and we’ve been missing it for the last decade,” he said. Others have expressed interest in building casinos further north, away from the Massachusetts border. Massachusetts lawmakers have passed bills that call for three resortstyle casinos and one slots parlor that would draw gamblers from New Hampshire. It’s not clear if Massachusetts lawmakers will complete work on the casino gambling bill before recessing until the end of the year. Meanwhile, voters in neighboring Maine last week defeated gambling referendum questions — one to allow racetrack casinos, or “racinos,” in Biddeford and near Calais and another proposing a new casino in Lewiston.

President of Penn. charity started by Sandusky quits PITTSBURGH (AP) — A youth charity at the center of the child sex abuse charges against former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky received donations in recent years from hundreds of corporations, community groups and individuals — including the judge who arraigned Sandusky earlier this month and Penn State itself. The charity, The Second Mile, announced Monday it had accepted the resignation of its president, Jack Raykovitz, who said he hoped his departure would help restore faith in its mission. The charity also announced it had hired Philadelphia’s longtime district attorney as its new general counsel. Raykovitz, a practicing psychologist, had led the charity, which was founded by Sandusky in 1977, for 28 years. His resignation was accepted Sunday. Raykovitz had testified before a grand jury that recommended indicting Sandusky on child abuse charges. The panel said Sandusky found his victims through the charity’s programs. The grand jury report called Sandusky the charity’s primary fundraiser, and The Second Mile’s
annual reports show that some donations came from entities now involved in the scandal. Penn State donated money even after high-ranking university officials were told that Sandusky had been seen sexually assaulting a boy on campus. Penn State donated between $1,000 and $1,999 to The Second Mile in 2009, and its Altoona campus donated between $2,000 and $4,999 that year. Another donor was State College District Judge Leslie A. Dutchcot, who set Sandusky’s bail earlier this month. She and her husband donated between $500 and $999 to The Second Mile in 2009, and she volunteered for the group, according to annual reports and her website. The judge set bail for Sandusky at $100,000 unsecured — meaning he did not have to post collateral to be freed but would have to post $100,000 if he ever failed to show up for a hearing. Dutchcot did not immediately respond to a question on whether she will recuse herself from the case because of those past ties to The Second Mile. She has removed the mention of The Second Mile from her website.
Layoffs still possible at UNH despite buyouts CONCORD (AP) — The University of New Hampshire has approved nearly 100 buyout packages for faculty and staff, but that may not be enough to avoid layoffs. Officials have warned that layoffs would be necessary if not enough employees accepted the buyout offers, which include a one-time payment based on an employee’s salary and years of service. The university recently approved 94 packages totaling $7.5 million, which is expected to save up to $8 million annually in future years. A university spokeswoman said Monday that faculty members have until Feb. 1 to take the offers. Until then, officials won’t know if layoffs will be avoided in the current fiscal year, which ends June 30, 2012, said spokeswoman Erika Mantz. The university, which has about 2,900 faculty and staff members, has been trying to save money after the Legislature drastically cut its state aid last spring. During his state of the university address in September, President Mark Huddleston said in cutting state funding by $32.5 million, lawmakers appeared “determined to transform us from a state-supported University to one that is simply state-located.” State funding amounts to 7 percent of the univerThousands of survivors of suicide loss gather together around the world on this day for mutual support and practical guidance on coping with grief. “Before today, I didn’t realize there are others out there who feel exactly the way I feel.” – Survivor from Alberta, Canada

sity’s $419 million operating budget for the current fiscal year, down from 13 percent the previous year. In response, the university has frozen salaries and hiring and scaled back benefits. Huddleston said about 150 positions would be eliminated, but the majority are expected to come through attrition, the buyout packages and the hiring freeze. He said at the time that fewer than 10 percent were expected to come through layoffs. The university system’s board of trustees also increased in-state tuition at UNH and other public colleges and universities to try to offset the reduction in state funding. Tuition, fees and room and meal costs were increased by 8.7 percent for the current academic year at UNH. The total cost of tuition, room and board and other fees for an out-ofstate student at UNH this academic year is $38,022 versus $24,702 for in-state students. The university has about 12,000 undergraduate students and 2,300 graduate students. Even with the cost saving measures and increased revenue, the university anticipates a deficit of about $2.2 million in the current fiscal year, and a deficit of $13 million and $21 million in the following two years.

Children & television Television has affected children in a most profound way, in mostly negative ways. While TV, appropriately used, can enhance learning, it can also destroy imagination and creativity when used in excess, especially with young children. When used in balance with other activities such as physical play, drawing, reading, talking and spending time with family and friends, the negative side effects of TV can be minimized. I remember testing a child who told me that he never went outside once during Christmas vacation. All he did was watch TV and play video games the entire time. I’m sure his parents would not classify this case as child neglect or abuse but, in a sense, that is exactly what it is. It is also no wonder that childhood obesity has reached epidemic proportions. Society pays dearly for the mistakes of many of its parents such as having to provide medical care for childhood diabetes that extends to adulthood. Another problem with television is that it prevents the development of imagination and the ability to fantasize aggression. Because of its visual nature, TV leaves nothing to the imagination, and when imagination isn’t exercised, it just doesn’t develop. Imagination serves as a filter for impulses and when such a filter is weak or nonexistent, impulses like aggression get expressed directly and unmuted. Thus, the rash of school shootings that have plagued our society in recent history as well as other forms of violence should come as no surprise. The radio, books and even Hitchcock movies all provide for the development of imagination but these things are either relics of the past or becoming so as in the case of books. Today’s children are exposed to fast moving visual images and sound bites that they cannot process because of the rapidity of exposure. This leads to fragmented and superficial understanding of things and decision-making that is based on missing information and perception. Basically, children watch too much TV because it keeps kids distracted and eases the difficult work of parenting. What parents don’t understand, however, is that this stranger in their house is molesting their children, albeit in a seemingly innocent way. “The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that kids under two years old not watch any TV and that those older than two watch no more than one to two hours a day of quality programming” (http://kidshealth.org/parent/ positive/family/tv_affects_child. html). Kids Health reported that two-thirds of infants and toddlers watch a screen an average of two hours a day, kids under age 6 watch an average of about two hours of screen media a day, primarily TV
and videos or DVDs, and kids and teens eight to 18 years spend nearly four hours a day in front of a TV screen and almost two additional hours on the computer (outside of schoolwork) and playing video games. The first two years of life are considered a critical time for brain development. TV and other electronic media can get in the way of exploring, playing, and interacting with parents and others, which encourages learning and healthy physical and social development. Children who consistently spend more than four hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight. Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them. TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce genderrole and racial stereotypes As kids get older, too much screen time can interfere with activities such as being physically active, reading, doing homework, playing with friends, and spending time with family (http://kidshealth.org/ parent/positive/family/tv_affects_ child.html) Another negative outcome of excessive exposure to visual electronic media by children is their disconnection from nature. At a time when rain forests are being destroyed all over the world, when air and water are continually being polluted, when animals suffer horribly from factory farm conditions and when food is mass produced, it is of critical importance that children be reconnected to nature and help solve some of the problems that the degradation of nature is causing such as high cancer rates. Unless childrens’ conscious awareness is raised about these issues, they will, as adults, keep looking the other way as big corporations dump toxic materials into our rivers and air in the name of deregulation. When our children are so distracted from these problems because of their preoccupation with visual media, they will not develop to be the problem solvers of the future. One of the saddest things I witness on a regular basis is children texting or engaged with their tablets while in restaurants. Instead of having conversations with their parents, they are living a life of missed opportunities. I recommend that parents listen to the song, “Cats in the Cradle”. When children are watching TV, the question becomes what are they not doing? They are not playing board games with family members, not playing outside, not reading, not see next page
LETTERS
I hope many kids are raised as responsible and ethical hunters To the editor, This letter is in response to all of the negative letters in the past couple weeks about a certain dead moose on the front page of The Daily Sun. First of all, this is a free paper. If you saw the moose on the front page and didn’t want to look at it, don’t pick up the paper. The practice of hunting is far more humane than how the animals that we get meat from at the grocery stores are treated . These poor animals are put in cages all their life and stuffed in so densely that many can barely walk. Animals shouldn’t be treated that way (Did you forget that meat only comes in that fancy little package after someone has slaughtered and processed it?). I would much rather go harvest my own meat from the forest where I can be assured that it is not abused and injected with hormones and artificial crap. Now what are all you “vegetarians” and “vegans” gonna do if the current economic system crashes? Then, those of us who know how to hunt will be the ones with plenty of food for our families. My next argument’s for anybody out there (including myself) who likes to watch these majestic creatures in their natural habitats. Did you know that almost ALL of the money used to conserve the land and animals in this country comes from the purchase of hunting licenses, ammo, guns, etc.? Do you also know what will happen if the population of deer, moose, etc, gets too big? I know what. Car crashes by the thousands and the disappearance of our natural resources. Overpopulation would completely kill off these animals due to lack of food. Would you rather have them dead for no reason? For thousands of years, man has hunted for survival and that moose will feed many people in these hard economic times. In the Bible it proclaims that God put animals on this Earth for humans to rule over (and I guess a lot of Americans forget that America was
founded on Christian values and religion). Now many of you argue that this does not mean that we have to kill them or be cruel to them. There is a mandatory class now called Hunter’s Education and it was created to make hunting safer through education, but also to teach you how to perform a clean, ethical kill. This ensures the least amount of suffering for the animal. A couple of days ago somebody wrote that they worried that children were exposed to this picture. I, for one, along with many of my family and friends hope that many kids did see this and are raised as responsible and ethical hunters. When I have children, I will make sure to teach them how to carry out this tradition and I hope they do so with their kids as well. Now, by this point, many of you are probably disgusted with me and think that I am a terrible person. I’m a monster because I enjoy hunting right? Well, I do not only hunt because I like killing things, not even close (and believe it or not, I do respect every animal that I hunt and am an animal lover). Yes, the harvesting of the animal is the main point of hunting but there are many other reasons to hunt. I am an outdoorsman, and if I could, I would live in the woods off the land because I believe that’s how we were supposed to live. I enjoy seeing the beauty of Mother Nature as well as spending quality time with my family. As a matter of fact, people in that picture just so happen to be my great uncle and great grandfather and they are both wonderful men. I will end with just one last point; all of your complaining and anti-hunter attitude will not keep me (as well as thousands of others in N.H.) from enjoying the first day of the rifle portion of deer season.

We do not need more sadness flashed at us early in the morning To the editor, Yesterday, a large group of us were remarking on the poor taste The Sun showed in printing the picture of the dead moose on the front page. Our remarks were not based in any way on any non-hunting prejudice but on the picture itself, which certainly could make non-hunters of us.
Therefore, I was glad to see Ms. Simpson’s well written and sensitive letter to the editor. With all the sadness many of us are dealing with today, we do not need to have some flashed at us early in the morning — or anytime. Carolyn Sutcliffe Meredith

LETTERS Shooting skills I was taught have served me & our country well
This is a classic left wing political hit job: lie, smear & slander
To the editor, The picture of a dead Moose seemingly conjures up emotions that are totally opposite. There seems to be a cultural, sociological divide and I perceive it to be between those who hunt for food, and those who do not. Seems simple, but it is not. Many women in this country hunt, but the majority of the negative letters regarding the dead moose picture were from women, who I would suspect did not grow up around hunting and who do not understand the hunting traditions. Those who hunt are practicing a craft that goes back more than 250,000 years in the culture of human kind, when Homo Sapiens came on the scene, and it continued in this country and in many areas as means of survival until post WW ll. Fishing and hunting were the major means of obtaining protein for Native Americans and settlers such as our ancestry until the early 1900’s. Elsewhere in the world, especially the third world, hunting and gathering continues to be not a matter of choice, but a means of survival. Whether one objects to hunting because one feels it is cruel toward animals, or because they choose to be a vegetarian, is their right and choice. That I choose to continue to hunt, and practice these skills, is mine. During the last depression of the 1930s, 25-percent of the working class were on, or from the farm. These people had skills such as hunting, fishing, gardening, canning and survival skills that got them through extremely difficult times. Many didn’t survive. We as a society have lost many of those skills,
To the editor, Hey look, someone is actually looking into the Herman Cain accusers and believe it or not it’s Yahoo news. Who would have thought? Seems they dug up some dirt on the mud slingers that puts their stories in quite a different light. Take Karen Kraushaar, who worked for Cain at the NRA; we’ve all heard her story by now but what about the rest of the story? Yahoo tells us that two or three years after, when she was working for Immigration and Naturalization Service, she had a little issue there too. There she clams her boss was sending sex charged e-mails around the office about her. Has anyone seen any of these yet? Bet we never do. Her lawyer wouldn’t comment on this revelation saying it was “handled by the INS”. Any guesses as to what the “settlement” was there? Don’t ask me, but looks like a pattern is emerging. Also it seems that her son works or worked for Politico, the organization breaking the story. What a coincidence ! Then Yahoo took a look at Gloria Allred’s latest client, Sharon Bialek. Seems
and for the most part, are not teaching them to our children. My father and grandfather taught me to shoot at a young age, and how to hunt. He was a Marine in WWll for it’s entirety and I was a U.S. Navy pilot. Those shooting skills served us both well and I would suggest they served you as well. Today, we are facing a European economy that is on the verge of collapse and a U.S. economy that will slide back into recession should that come to fruition. Their governments, our government, the banks and ultimately all of us are in serious trouble, and our country is broke/broken with $15.5-trillion in debt and growing every day. Do you really think for a minute that if we fall into depression that your country, or it’s government, is going to have the resources to feed, shelter, and cloth you, your family, or your neighbors? If you are one of the fortunate who can buy yourself through such a depression, do you have the skills to defend you or your family from those who do not posses those resources? You can choose to live in a fantasy world where there are no wars over food, water, energy, resources, money, or pictures of dead moose, and I will choose to live in the world of reality. Your senses are offended by the picture of a dead moose. My senses are offended by articles of children who are sexually abused by peoples who have been living under the oppression of dictatorships for decades, by murderers, rapists, thieves, and all the evil that pervades our society, and not by pictures of a dead animal. Get a grip. Terry Martin Laconia
Sanbornton shouldn’t be considering building new town offices To the editor, At the November 2 Sanbornton selectmen’s meeting, Town Administrator Bob Veloski advised the board that the estimated cost of building a new Town Office would be $150 dollars per square foot, approximately $710,000. After a year of Sanbornton taxpayers laying out some $1,000,000 for a new
town garage and $3,000,000 for improving three miles of roads from Route 3 & 11 to Steele Hill, I don’t think we should even be considering a new Town Office for several years to come. If you agree, let your Selectmen, Dave Nickerson, Guy Giunta and Karen Ober know. Bill Whalen Sanbornton
from preceding page imagining, not creating, not developing social skills and not caring about anything important. (http:// kidshealth.org/parent/positive/family/ tv_affects_child.html) “For the past 20 years, studies have linked excessive TV viewing to childhood obesity, poor brain development, lagging educational performance, sleep disturbances and diminished physical activity” (http://news.discovery.com/tech/is-television-harmfulfor-children.html) People are quick to blame teachers for our lagging national achievement scores but they don’t consider what teachers have to work with and the kinds of kids that are being sent to school every day unprepared to do the tasks required of them. It is impossible to keep a boat afloat when more water is going into it than is being bailed out of it. All one has to do is look at the practices of effective parents to see what needs to be done. These parents spend quality time with their children, eat at least one meal a
table conversation, read with their children, have strict TV rules, supervise homework, do not overstructure their childrens’ lives, play with their children, know their childrens’ friends, have reasonable and enforceable rules for the family, balance nurturing with demandingness, explain things to their children and watch TV with their children helping them process what they are watching. They value education and transmit those values to their children. They are also involved with their childrens’ education. There is just no substitute for good parenting. The future of our society and planet is dependent upon the quality of the children produced. Unless we put limits on visual media for children – not only what they watch but how often they watch it - we could be courting disaster, and such disaster will be gradual and less noticeable and therefore all the more insidious.

she has a bit of a history, bankruptcy twice, defendant in several law suits, including a “paternity matter”. ( These must have been expensive.) Funny thing too, Sharon lives in the same building in Chicago as David Axilrod, yes that David Axilrod, whom she admitted she knows. One more coincidence is the Sheila O’Grady connection. For those who don’t know, Sheila was former mayor Richard Daley’s Chief of Staff and wonder of wonders O’Grady wound up President of the Illinois Restaurant Association, where she dug up the personnel records of Herman Cain. Only a blind person couldn’t connect those dots. Daley and Axelrod have a long history of smear tactics using sexual impropriety as the weapon of choice. If anyone doubts this check for yourselves. All the pieces fall right into place. This is a classic left wing political hit job, lie, smear and slander, and with a couple of bimbos looking for a payday to grease the skids. Kinda makes you proud to be a Democrat, now doesn’t it? Steve Earle Hill
Ron Paul is different in the right way, politics not his only outlet To the editor, In Saturday night’s debate, CBS gave Ron Paul, ranking third in N.H. polling, only one-and-one-half minutes out of a 90-minute exchange of views. Ron Paul is the only candidate critical of our decade of war, that Bush-Cheney gift to the military-industrial complex liking war for extreme profits and for upper-level career advancement. With President Obama continuing a military presence in the oil region, shifting 40,000 U.S. troops to Kuwait, we hear, we need Ron Paul’s sharp inquiries put to President Obama. That face-off, if we’d give Ron Paul the nod from New Hampshire, would reinvigorate our democracy. Let’s not set up low voter turnout in 2012 with a so-so incumbent and a sort-of challenger,
one either too religiously devoted to be elected or one tip-toeing along and playing it safe. As a friend said to me on Plymouth Common this past Saturday, when our regular weekly peace vigil mixed with Occupy Plymouth, “Ron Paul has already had career satisfaction as a physician. He’s different in the right way, because politics has not been his only outlet. He’d be a good president, even if his social views are not mine, and some of what he proposes for changes he can’t do without Congressional support anyway. As Commander-in-Chief, he can end our wasteful military adventures and bring all our troops home.” Lynn Rudmin Chong Sanbornton

LETTERS You’ll feel blessed if you help just 1 person in need this winter
President Obama is playing politics again & we are the losers
To the editor, Another year is coming to an end, the ghosts of my youth are once again singing “Bless this house...” and I thank the Lord for all my blessings, though they are small, and I pray for continued strength to keep helping my fellow seniors in their constant daily struggles as they try to maintain their independence. The continued news that there are less people applying for unemployment should be good news, but those that have not found work and must rely on assistance to get by know better. Through my service to seniors, passing on to them information from other seniors, many have been helped. I am grateful to those who have used my service and their passing along
To the editor, 2012 — The End of an Error! Let’s make Nobama a one-term President. It’s taken this guy three years before he committed to seriously attack the unemployment problem, at least that seems to be his direction now. Unemployment hasn’t gone down at all on Obama’s watch while the national debt has gone from $10-trillion to $14-trillion during the same time period. He’s asleep at the wheel. If this were baseball, we would have changed starting pitchers by now. Putting the half a billion dollar Fremont Solyndra fiasco, Obamacare, executive orders halting exploration and production of U.S. offshore waters and the general disappointment in our leader behind us for just a moment, let’s look at just this past week on his report card. Last Monday our president was caught on an open microphone criticizing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Former Democratic President Bill Clinton just released a book in which he openly voices criticism towards Obama on his handling of the economy. Hey, even Lynn Chong said
to other seniors my number, that we may keep each other afloat in this recession that the news people say is not a recession. If you are able to help just one person in need this coming cold season, you will feel what it is like to very blessed. When you pay your fuel bill this winter, ask the distributor to give someone less fortunate than yourself four gallons of fuel, and pray that the distributor is honest enough to carry out your request. Its called paying it forward. It may not get you into heaven, but it will make you feel better. Bless you all and stay warm and healthy. Bev Buker Gilford
Gingrich is only candidate we can look to for a better America To the editor, We are at the critical point in The United States future. Today many face numerous challenges, be it employment, medical insurance, immigration, etc. We as citizens have the opportunity to make our voices heard with our vote. We all agree, whether you are on the right, left or independent. The U.S. has a plethora of issues including, but not limited to the economy, foreign policy, immigration. We need a leader who can make an impact on all issues we face or will face in the future. News outlets are constantly bom-
barding voters with how the amount of money a candidate has raised. While money is an important factor in a campaign, it should not be the only thing that decides who will be the next leader of this great country. We need to vote in a candidate who will best lead our country. There is one candidate in this presidential race that has the degree of know-how needed, former Speaker Newt Gingrich. Newt Gingrich is the only candidate in this presidential race we can look to for a better America. Christian Doyle Gilford

she is going to vote for Ron Paul now. The biggest failure of Obama this week has to be his decision to delay until after the 2012 election, the approval of the Keystone pipeline project. He’s playing politics with us again and we are the losers. In case you don’t know about this project, it’s a 1,700 mile 36-inch pipeline to bring crude oil down from Alberta, North Dakota and other portions of the Williston/Bakken formation to the refineries in the Gulf Coast. This project, apparently now deferred until after the election by Mr. Obama, is estimated to able to create 20,000 American jobs and provide new North American (read non-Arab) energy. One last thing, next week he’s going down to Australia instead of working with the Congressional Supercommittee on any kind of deficit reduction plan. It’s the starting of summer in Australia. I guess he can get in 18 holes down under. We need to put America back to work by putting this guy out of work. Curt McGee Sanbornton
We’re in trouble; absolutely no profiles in courage out there To the editor, Just thinking while sitting here not doing much. Message to Tony Boutin and his pal Rick Perry: The Social Security train has left the station and privatization was not on it. No, nobody is in favor of it , so as my mother use to say, GET OVER YOURSELVES. I am in favor of workers forming unions , however in the public sector, unions donate tens of thousands of dollars to politicians and in turn those same, socalled leaders, negotiate those contacts. Talk about conflict of interest. Another difference, in the dreaded private sector, everything is on the table, unions have been fighting to keep what they have. In the great public sector, nothing from the past is “negotiable” and public unions are always looking for more. The new tax rate is out, and of course taxes are up. How much longer can this continue, it has to end sometime.
I know, blame the “Peoples Republic of Concord” for sticking it to the real estate taxpayer. How about those three Republicans we sent to Washington, we sent them there to lead, not follow, I am very disappointed. Message to soon to be former one term Congressman Guinta: You had nothing to do with the Social Security increase, guess you have done NOTHING. Enjoy yourself, it is almost over. Speaking of Republicans, how about that gang that is running for the right to run against the worst president since Carter? Nothing more than bean counters. Also, Romney’ s claim to fame was working for Bain Capitol, which was responsible for CUTTING jobs. I guess we are in trouble , absolutely no profiles in courage among anybody. Just my thoughts.

To the editor, Conservatives, not Republicans, better wake up fast. Well here we go again, killing our young before they hatch. I am already hearing that old familiar line “I will not vote if this one or that one is nominated by the Republican establishment”. Who the hell is the establishment? Does the establishment vote for us or do we the Republicans and Independent voters make the decision? Then I hear, after all, if we don’t get the candidate we want we will stay home and not vote, “let the country go to ashes, someday then we will all wake up”. How stupid is this? If we are not about as low as it gets in this country maybe we need to go into negative numbers. Do all of you really feel that once we go even lower (communism, socialism) we will someday really reverse our direction? Boy I really like to congratulate the

vote Democrat because when their nominee is picked they back them all the way and don’t destroy them no matter what their political direction is, conservative or liberal. There is an acronym called RINO meaning “Republican in name only” but I think we need a new one called CINO “Conservative in name only” it may not be a name but the NO at the end of CINO means NO to anyone who does not meet their expectations. Finally I think I am a conservative, maybe even “heaven forbid” a rightwinger, but I’m sorry to say I’m not sure any more.

State appeals board rejects call for another M’borough reval but tells town there are things it could do better BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MOULTONBOROUGH — The New Hampshire Board of Tax and Land Appeals (BTLA) last week upheld the update of taxable property values here undertaken by Vision Appraisal in 2010 by dismissing the petition for reassessment brought by Janet Cramer and Rick Heath on behalf of more than 125 taxpayers. The appeal followed two assessments in 2010 , the first in July and the second in August. The first assessment, based on sales data drawn from the 2009 tax year, raised concerns among waterfront property owners, whose values jumped as much as 30-percent. Following meetings with the Board of Selectmen and representatives of Vision Appraisal, the second assessment, using sales data from the prior two years, produced what were considered more reasonable results, but still left some taxpayers questioning the process. The petition described the assessment as “unpredictable and unclearly defined”marked by “inequitable and disproportionate assessments between waterfront and non-waterfront properties.” The BTLA ordered an investigation, which was undertaken by the board’s senior review appraiser, Cynthia Brown, who performed an assessment-tosale ratio analysis of sales closed after the assessment in question, between April 1, 2010 and March 15, 2011. In her report Brown concluded that “the update was performed and completed in an equitable manner” and “did attain market value.” When Brown presented her report at a public hearing in September, neither of the lead petitioners, Janet Cramer and Rick Heath, challenged its conclusions. In its order the BTLA found no evidence to suggest that “the assessment was not conducted equitably with respect to any particular group of property owners, such as those having waterfront properties.” The board explained it is commonplace for properties at different locations and with different characteristics to rise and fall in value at different rates. Consequently, it continued, that some waterfront properties appreciated or depreciated more than other waterfront or non-waterfront properties is not sufficient evidence to rule the assessment flawed or warrant a reassessment. At the same time, the BTLA acknowledged con-
cerns raised by the petitioners about the “understandability” of the assessment process and the number of “sub-neighborhoods.” The board encouraged town officials and Vision Appraisal to “strive for transparency.” Likewise, the board found the 125 separate neighborhoods identified by Vision Appraisal “unduly large,” especially since some consist of less than five parcels, and, assured by Vision Appraisal that the town aimed to reduce the number in 2013, found that “this goal can and should be achieved.” Finally, the BTLA noted that Brown reported that “a detailed explanation and analyses of the various base rates and adjustments was not available until approximately one year after the completion of the update” and that the cyclical inspection program includes drive-by inspections of 500 parcels a year. In addition to providing information in a more timely manner, the board recommended “the town should review the sufficiency of its current property inspection program and accelerate the pace so the inspections can provide more up-to-date information.” In a prepared statement Joel Mudgett, chairman of the Board of Selectmen, welcomed the BTLA’s decision while regretting “the amount of time and expense it took to deal with this petition.” He went on to say that “we will continue to make improvements in our processes and in educating the public . . . to hopefully earn our citizenry’s trust on this most complex matter.”

Dan Ward, who became superintendent of the Belknap County Corrections Department in June 2010, said that “we’ve always had inmates working on the county grounds, but we’ve also reached out to the city and towns. It’s a great rehabilitative program for the inmates and a genuine benefit to the community.” Tom Stark, serving a second stint at the jail, welcomed Ward’s effort to offer and expand programs. “If I’d had this last year,” he said, “I wouldn’t be here this year.” He said that he expects to return to work with a landscaping company when he is released and has enjoyed working in the city. Director of Parks and Recreation Kevin Dunleavy said that inmates have helped with spring clean-up, brush cutting, mowing and raking, providing some 1700 man hours of labor, which at the base rate for seasonal employees represents $16,000 worth of work. “They’ve supplemented what we could have

Ward said that correctional officers pick the inmates, choosing those who have demonstrated good behavior and willingness to work, and provides their meals and water. He said that the city or town provides transportation and sometimes supervision, noting that the number of correctional officers who can be assigned to details is a limiting factor on the scope of the program.”I would love to be able to expand the program,” Ward said. Ward said that inmates have painted the fire station, police station and library in Sanbornton as well as worked with the pubic works department. In Barnstead, inmates scraped and repainted the Congregational Church. And inmates are renovating the barns and sheds at the Belknap County Fairgrounds in Belmont. “We’re trying to get them spread around,” Ward said.

Moultonborough tax sale yields $65,850
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 15, 2011— Page 11
MOULTONBOROUGH — With the final deed recorded this past week the town will add $65,850 to its coffers from the sale of eight parcels of tax deeded lands. The properties ranged in size from a residentially zoned 13,000-square-foot parcel to a parcel fronting on Route 25 that is nearly 10-acres in size. One of the conditions of the sale was that any abutting owner who placed a bid did have the right of first refusal to acquire the property at the highest bid. Two owners did just that and, in keeping with requirements of the auction, did merge their newly acquired lot with the existing land that they owned. Joel R. Mudgett, chairman of the Selectboard said, “We had hoped this sale would return these properties to the tax rolls, raise revenue for us toward future land
acquisition, and give people a chance to expand their properties and protect their lots. It did all of that.” Gary Karp, the town assessor estimates that the properties put back on to the tax rolls will generate annual revenue of about $3,000 per year. All eight parcels that were put up for auction did sell in contrast to prior years when the town was sometimes left holding onto a number of the parcels that had been offered for sale.. The town annually reviews Tax Deeded properties to determine if they are suitable for disposition. That process includes a review by the Conservation Commission and Planning Board as well as two separate public hearings before the properties is actually placed up for sale.
PIPELINE from page 2 but Pourbaix said Nebraska will play a key role in deciding it. The announcement follows the federal government’s decision last week to delay a decision on a federal permit for the project until it studies new potential routes that avoid the Sandhills area and the Ogallala aquifer as the proposed pipeline carries crude oil from Canada to Texas Gulf Coast refineries. Debate over the pipeline has drawn international attention focused largely on Nebraska, because the pipeline would cross the Sandhills — an expanse of grass-strewn, loose-soil hills — and part of the Ogallala aquifer, which supplies water to Nebraska and parts of seven other states. Company officials had claimed that moving the route was impossible because of a U.S. State Department study which found the Sandhills route would leave the smallest environmental footprint. Pourbaix said he was confident a new route would also avoid the parts of the aquifer that sit closes to the surface, which was a major concern cited by environmentalists and the region’s landowners. He said moving it out of the Sandhills region would likely ease many of the
concerns posed by landowners. “We do remain confident that we could have built a safe pipeline through the original route that was approved by the State Department” in an environmental impact statement released earlier this year, Pourbaix said. “At the same time, it has always been a priority of TransCanada to listen to our stakeholders.” He added: “We’re confident that collaborating with the state of Nebraska will make this process much easier.”
OBAMACARE from page 2 cratic appointees ruling in its favor. But others predict a close outcome, with Justice Anthony Kennedy, a Republican appointee who sometimes joins his four colleagues appointed by Democratic presidents, holding the deciding vote on the nine-member court. The White House has pushed for a final ruling as soon as possible, and Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said the administration was pleased the justices agreed to take the case now, with arguments in March. “It’s important that we put to rest once and for all the issue of maybe the law will disappear,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Republicans also said they were happy the high court would hear arguments on the constitutionality of the provision at the heart of the law and three other questions about the act. The central provision in question is the requirement that individuals buy health insurance starting in 2014 or pay a penalty. “That the Supreme Court is taking this up, I think, is a positive signal that there are legitimate concerns surrounding the constitutional aspects of mandating that individuals purchase health care insurance and purchase it according to Washington’s guidelines,” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Virginia.

PARADE from page one able to see me.” Instead, Frates suggested to parade organizers that he lead the parade as part of a snow shovel brigade, patterned after the lawn chair brigade that he used to be a part of during Fourth of July parades of yore. Frates is putting out a call for volunteers who would like to enlist in his brigade. “You have to be able to hold a shovel and come to the rehearsal on Sunday,” he said. asking anyone interested to attend a rehearsal on Sunday, November 20, from 3:45 to 5 p.m. at the Frates Creative Arts Center on Canal Street. The parade will be held the following Saturday, November 26, stepping off at 1 p.m. Marchers will follow the route from Wyatt Park to Veterans Square, a distance of about three quarters of a mile.
At the rehearsal, Frates said, snow shovel brigadeers will learn “some very intricate moves that have never been done with snow shovels before.” Because he’s pursuing an ambitious artistic vision, he recommended that participants be teenaged or older. Shovels don’t have to be new or large, Frates said. The brigade members will adorn themselves with “mis-matched winter outfits... If they don’t want to be known, they can wear a ski mask,” he said. “It’s low-key, but high energy.” “It’s impressive in my mind, I can see it all happening.” Those with questions that can’t wait until rehearsal on Sunday can call Frates at his business at 528-7651.
GUNSTOCK from page one neer Steven Thomas, who was unable to make last night’s convention meeting and withdrew his name from consideration. In his vision for the future, Morgenstern, a Gilford resident, echoed Gammon by saying he would like to connect the former Alpine Ridge or Mount Rowe with Gunstock rather than have buses shuttle people back and forth. Where to two differed was how they viewed the recent re-contract with Boston culinary Group for food services at the resort. Gammon said he was under the impression that any contract involving Gunstock had a maximum length of four years and could only be renewed with the approval of the Belknap County Convention. Instead, he said the Gunstock Commission voted to renew the 4-year contract — something Morgen-
stern believes was within the legal rights of the Gunstock Commission. Gammon said his reading of the 1959 Gunstock agreement was that no contracts for longer than five years could be issued. He said his main concern was for the process involved and not necessarily that the Boston Culinary Group was not doing a good job. Collette Worsman of Meredith was one of the four people who supported Gammon. During her interview with Morganstern she said a number of her constituents had mentioned that the food at the resort canteen was very expensive. Morgenstern said that he was part of the Gunstock Commission that hired the culinary vendor and while he said there were lower bidders, he and Gunstck’s management and the rest of the commission were very satisfied with the quality of work done by see next page

In the modern era, the last time the court increased that time anywhere near this much was in 2003 for consideration of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance overhaul. That case consumed four hours of argument. This argument may even spread over two days, as the justices rarely hear more than two or three hours a day. The health care overhaul would achieve its huge expansion of coverage by requiring individuals to buy health insurance starting in 2014, by expanding Medicaid and by applying other provisions, many yet to take effect. The central question before the court is whether the government has the power to force people to buy health insurance. The White House says Congress used a “quintessential” power — its constitutional ability to regulate interstate commerce, including the health care industry — when it passed the overhaul. But opponents of the law, and the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, say that Congress

overstepped its authority when lawmakers passed individual mandate. A divided Atlanta court panel ruled that Congress cannot require people to “enter into contracts with private insurance companies for the purchase of an expensive product from the time they are born until the time they die.” The Atlanta court is the only one of four appellate courts that found the mandate unconstitutional. The federal appeals court in Cincinnati upheld the entire law, as did appellate judges in Washington, D.C., in recent days. The appellate court in Richmond, Va., ruled a judicial decision on the law cannot be rendered until 2015, after the penalties for not having insurance have gone into effect. Supporters have been encouraged that the appellate rulings in Cincinnati and Washington to uphold the law were joined by two prominent conservative judges appointed by Republican presidents: Jeffrey Sutton, appointed by George W. Bush, and Laurence Silberman, appointed by Ronald Reagan. In Atlanta, however, Frank Hull, appointed by President Bill Clinton, joined with a Republican colleague in striking down the mandate.

Gammon also said he disagreed with a policy change that means Belknap County residents no longer get reduced rates for a season’s ski pass. however after the meeting. Morgenstern said he disagreed with Gammon and felt giving county residents a special discount on season passes “cheats the residents of the county who don’t ski.” After the meeting, resort General Manager Greg Goddard said the Gunstock Commission actually lowered the rate for everyone rather than eliminate the special rate for Belknap County residents.
In the end, voting for Gammon were Harry Accornero of Laconia, Worsman of Meredith, Guy Comtois of Center Barnstead and Robert Kingsbury of Laconia. Voting for Morgenstern were Robert Luther of Laconia, Don Flanders of Laconia, Dennis Fields of Sanbonton, Frank Tilton of Laconia, Elaine Swinford of Barnstead, Jeffrey St. Cyr of Alton, James Pilliod of Belmont, Millham, Bill Tobin of Sanbornton, Bob Greemore of Meredith and Tyler Simpson of New Hampton.

LOOP from page one of the intersection of Main Street with Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West, which lies entirely on the surface of the Main Street bridge, in conjunction with the redesign and reconstruction of the bridge. Paul Moynihan , director of Public Works, said that the bridge will be designed to accommodate two-way traffic on Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West. The conceptual plan prepared by TEC would provide for two-way traffic on Beacon Street East, but would limit southbound traffic to a right-turn northbound on to Main Street and prohibit either turning left on to Main Street or proceeding through to Beacon Street West. Southbound traffic on Beacon Street West, on the other hand, would be able to turn either left or right on to Main Street as well as left on to proceed through to Beacon Street East. Main Street north of the intersection would remain one-way and the existing parking spaces would remain. TEC anticipated that the conver-
sion to two-way traffic on Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West would not significantly increase congestion and delay at their intersection with Main Street. Nor would the project affect the number of on-street parking spaces in the vicinity of the intersection. The western or downstream side of the Main Street Bridge would require widening to accommodate the changed traffic pattern in order to provide a nine-foot sidewalk on the east side of the bridge and a six-foot sidewalk on the west side of the bridge. Both sidewalks are popular fishing spots and, by serving city parks, parking area, retail outlets and the riverwalk, carry a high volume of foot traffic. Otherwise TEC did not foresee the need of either major structural works or changed traffic signals to facilitate the flow of two way traffic. The study and recommendations are posted on the city’s website under the Planning Department.
REPUBLICANS from page 2 vatives despite strong credentials as an opponent of higher taxes. “There’s been a little bit, but it’s been pretty muted,” his spokeswoman, Nachama Soloveichik, said of the response. Cantor’s spokeswoman turned aside several emailed requests for the majority leader’s views on the proposal. She said he hadn’t seen the plan, and she referred to his comments at a news conference earlier in the day when he told reporters, “I’m not going to be opining as to any reports, hypotheticals or anything connected with their work.” Despite that pledge, Cantor was bullish in predicting agreement before the deadline and adding that a fallback requirement to cut $1.2 trillion from domestic and defense programs wouldn’t be triggered. The committee has been at work for two months, hoping to succeed at a task that has defied the best efforts of high-ranking political leaders past and present. Despite intense talks late last week, there has been little indication of progress as age-old political divisions have re-emerged. The principal stumbling blocks revolve around taxes on the one hand, and the large federal programs of Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security on the other. Democrats are unwilling to agree
Republicans will accept higher taxes, particularly on the highest-income individuals and families. Republicans counter that out-ofcontrol spending largely accounts for the government’s enormous budget deficits, and they say raising taxes will only complicate efforts to help the economy recover from the worst recession in more than seven decades. At the same time, each side is grappling with the possible political consequences of the committee’s work, with an eye on the 2012 campaign for control of the White House and Congress. Liberal Democrats are highly reluctant to agree to curbs on programs the party has long been identified with, and last week members on the supercommittee jettisoned an earlier proposal to slow the rise in cost-of-living benefits for Social Security recipients. The same goes for conservatives, many of whom fear the possible political cost of changing their positions in order to pursue a less-than-certain bipartisan compromise on deficit reduction. Many GOP office holders have signed a pledge circulated by Americans for Tax Reform not to vote for higher taxes. The organization is led by Grover Norquist, a conservative activist, although in comments to reporters Cantor suggested that influence by an outsider isn’t the dominant

TILTON — Cathy Mathews grew up in Boston, helping her family operate a jewelry store in the big city. Then, she made two big changes in her life: she left Boston and moved to the Lakes Region and she went into business for herself. Her business, TLC Jewelry, recently celebrated its one year anniversary. A year and several months ago, Mathews was running a jewelry store in East Boston owned by her uncle. She and her children had moved into a home in Gilford owned by her husband-to-be and were adjusting favorably to the country life. During her long commutes from the Lakes Region to East Boston, Mathews realized that it was time for her work to follow her residence. “I’ve been running everybody else’s stores, I might as well be running my own,” she said, and she opened her store on Main
Street, in the same block as Tilton Hair Cut for Men. After living in Boston for most of her life, her move to the Lakes Region started with a trip to her beau’s property, which was originally purchased as a vacation home. They liked the quiet and fresh air in Gilford and started making regular weekend trips to New Hampshire. “Once we started coming up, I said, I don’t want to go back on Monday.” Mathews and family traded the fast-paced life of Boston for the more relaxed environment of the Lakes Region and Mathews decided to do the same thing with her vocation. Her idea of starting a jewelry store in Tilton during a recession didn’t impress her peers, she admitted. “Nobody thought it would last,” but her business has slowly grown over the year and continues to develop thanks to word-ofmouth referrals. She can’t charge as much in Tilton as she could see next page

Players call NBA owners’ bluff, or are they bluffing?
NEW YORK (AP) — NBA players delivered a resounding but risky response to one more ultimatum from NBA Commissioner David Stern: See you in court. The players’ association rejected the league’s latest proposal for a new labor deal Monday and began disbanding, paving the way for a lawsuit that throws the season in jeopardy. Negotiating went nowhere, so now the union is going away. And Stern said “nuclear winter” is coming. “We’re prepared to file this antitrust action against the NBA,” union executive director Billy Hunter said. “That’s the best situation where players can get their due process.” And that’s a tragedy as far as Stern is concerned. “It looks like the 2011-12 season is really in jeopardy,” Stern said in an interview aired on ESPN. “It’s just a big charade. To do it now, the union is ratcheting up I guess to see if they can scare the NBA owners or something. That’s not happening.” Hunter said players were not prepared to agree to Stern’s ultimatum to accept the current proposal or face a worse one, saying they thought it was “extremely unfair.” And they’re aware what this battle might cost them. “We understand the consequences of potentially missing the season; we understand the consequences that players could potentially face if things don’t go our way, but it’s a risk worth taking,” union vice president Maurice Evans said. “It’s the right move to do.” But it’s risky. Hunter said all players will be represented in a class-action suit against the NBA by attorneys Jeffrey Kessler and David Boies — who were on opposite sides of the NFL labor dispute, Kessler working for the players, Boies for the league. “Mr. Kessler got his way, and we’re about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA,” Stern told ESPN. “If I were a player ... I would be wondering what it is from preceding page
in Boston, Mathews said, but she doesn’t have to. “I don’t have the overhead, I don’t have to mark the prices up for retail investment.” She credits her “wholesale” level pricing, and attentive customer service, with the reason for her growth. “Everybody that’s come in here has been referred by somebody,” she said. TLC Jewelry does about half its business in retail and repairs, the other half is buying unwanted gold and silver jewelry from cus-
that Billy Hunter just did.” The league already has filed a pre-emptive lawsuit seeking to prove the lockout is legal and contends that without a union that collectively bargained them, the players’ guaranteed contracts could legally be voided. During oral arguments on Nov. 2, the NBA asked U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe to decide the legality of its lockout, but he was reluctant to wade into the league’s labor mess. Gardephe has yet to issue a ruling. Two years of bargaining couldn’t produce a deal, with owners’ desires for more competitive balance clashing with players’ wishes to keep the salary cap system largely intact. The sides last met Thursday, when the league offered a revised proposal but told the players there would be no further negotiating on it. Stern, who is a lawyer, had urged players to take the deal on the table, saying it’s the best the NBA could offer and advised that decertification is not a winning strategy. Players ignored that warning, choosing instead to dissolve the union, giving them a chance to win several billion dollars in triple damages in an antitrust lawsuit. “This is the best decision for the players,” union president Derek Fisher said. “I want to reiterate that point, that a lot of individual players have a lot of things personally at stake in terms of their careers and where they stand. And right now they feel it’s important — we all feel it’s important to all our players, not just the ones in this room, but our entire group — that we not only try to get a deal done for today but for the body of NBA players that will come into this league over the next decade and beyond.” Fisher, flanked at a press conference by dozens player representatives and superstars including Kobe Bryant and Carmelo Anthony, said the decision was unanimous. But there were surely players throughout the league who would have preferred union leadership put the proposal to a vote of the full membership, with many ready to go back to work. tomers. Mathews is cultivating a reputation as the place where people can get the best price for their gold. She also recently became an official dealer of Citizen Eco-Drive watches. A year into her move away from the city, Mathews said she has no regrets. “It’s much more peaceful, a peaceful living environment, there’s no stress with bosses.” And she’s already accustomed to small-town life. “We like the little Main Street area, it’s quiet and all the neighbors are friendly.”

the story of Sarah Josepha Hale’s thirty-year campaign to have Thanksgiving declared a national holiday. Her efforts were successful when Lincoln signed his Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1863. The Woods are historical presenters specializing in 19th century American history. Steve has been a Lincoln presenter since 1995 and has presented his program, A Visit with Abraham Lincoln, for schools, libraries, historical societies and community events. In addition to portraying Mary Todd Lincoln, Sharon also offers several other first person historical programs set in the same time period. She has done considerable research on Sarah Hale, who is generally remembered more for her children’s poem, Mary’s Lamb, and her lifelong campaign for a Thanksgiving holiday, than for the influence she had on American culture through her widely read magazine. The program is sponsored by the New Hampshire Humanities Council and the Friends of the Meredith Library. It is free and open to the public. After the program, the Woods will step out of character and answer audience questions. More information can be found at http://his-story.atspace.com.

BELMONT — William L. Jacques, 64, of Perkins Road, died peacefully at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, surrounded by family and friends, after a sudden illness on Sunday, November 13, 2011. Bill was born on September 11, 1947, in Waterford, Vermont, the son of Florence (Fenoff) Gregoire. A Laconia High School graduate, class of 1965, “Crazy Legs Jacques”, was a standout athlete. Graduating from Plymouth State College, in 1970, he set long- standing records in both track and football. In 1973, he earned and received his Master’s Degree in Education from PSC. In 1975, he married the love of his life, Joanne Taylor. Bill went on to work for the State of New Hampshire for the next ten years. Then, in 1984, he joined the staff of Belmont High School as a mathematics teacher for the next twenty-four years. In addition, he was a professor at New Hampshire College in Manchester, as well as New Hampshire Community College. Retiring in 2008, Bill continued to teach at NHCC but still saved time for golfing and bowling with friends. Bill loved his family. He was so proud of his son and daughter and always made time to support their interests. He was a permanent fixture at local hockey rinks and ball fields cheering on his grandsons, and could always be seen on weekends, behind the grill, with a spatula in his hand, perfecting his “hockey puck” burger for Grammy. Bill loved life. He loved to travel with his wife and friends and even took his grandsons to Yankee Stadium and California. His personality radiated warmth and kindness to everyone he met.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis relate to the legendary tortoise, as there will be a hare-like character in today’s story: so eager to get ahead, and yet without the stamina to follow through to the end. You’ll be the first to reach the finish line. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a wall around you that you’re hardly even aware of. It’s self-constructed to keep out the dangerous people who can waste your time or hurt your feelings. Remember to unlock a door for people you trust. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be inspired to break out of a rut. Here’s how: Instead of sighing, sing. Instead of rolling your eyes, clap your hands enthusiastically. Do little things differently, and the big things fall into place. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Different is good, especially when it’s not so different that no one understands. If you can stand out from the crowd when it matters, but relate to everyone in the crowd just the same, your originality will be celebrated. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re glad that people feel comfortable around you, but when they behave in an inconsiderate manner, you may wonder if you’re too open, kindhearted and forgiving for your own good. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). Political success and spiritual fulfillment will be yours in 2012. The efforts you make to change the way you present yourself to the world will be most effective, and you’ll create the impression you desire. Authority figures teach you in January, and you’ll teach the same lesson to others in the summer. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 40, 32, 15 and 7.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t always feel it’s necessary to reveal your true self; sometimes that ruins the game. And so you’ll carefully control your image, taking notice of what people want to perceive in you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t hesitate to dive in and deal with the morning’s knotty little problem. Once it’s handled, you’ll be more sociable, talkative and generally fun to be around. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may start out a bit ungrounded -- as though you’re merely a character in someone else’s dream. This is a signal that it’s time to take back your experience, personalize your life and make things your own. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will wonder what you’re really thinking, though you’re not quite ready to let down your guard. Let them stew in the mystery of you for a while. Everyone enjoys the touch of drama you bring now. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s someone in your life who seems to make a hobby of telling you what to do. This person isn’t your boss, technically, but may as well be by the looks of everything you’ve been doing for him or her lately. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Stay productive even when your work doesn’t seem all that compelling. Stick with it. If you can avoid getting distracted, or at least limit your distractions considerably, you’ll have a breakthrough. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be inclined to take a straightforward approach with others, declaring, “This is me. Take me how I am, or don’t. I’ll go on just the same.” This method will be most effective in preventing wasted time and energy. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll

One year ago: A House ethics committee panel began closed-door deliberations on 13 counts of alleged financial and fundraising misconduct by U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who walked out of the proceeding after pleading unsuccessfully for more time to raise money for a lawyer. (Rangel was convicted the next day of 11 rules violations.) San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey and Texas Rangers closer Neftali Feliz were voted the Rookies of the Year. Today’s Birthdays: Judge Joseph Wapner is 92. Actor Ed Asner is 82.

GILFORD — Local history author Carol Lee Anderson will give a presentation on the history of the Gunstock Inn and Fitness Center on Wednesday, November 16 at 10:30 a.m. at the historic inn which is located at 580 Cherry Valley Road. Anderson’s newly-released book, The History of Gunstock: Skiing in the Belknap Mountains, outlines the history of Gunstock and also includes the construction and changes experienced by the inn, originally known as The Baraks. The structure, which has a history as long as Gunstock’s, began its life as a first-class ski lodge and was often occupied by international skiing stars. It was also known as a favorite gathering spot for skiers. Dick and Maurine Bastille, owners of the inn, assisted Anderson as she conducted research for her book and provided an abundance of information and photos on the structure’s history. Both are historians at heart and have worked hard to preserve as much of the inn’s history as is possible. The public is invited to attend this event. Light refreshments will be served and Anderson will be signing copies of her book after the presentation. For more information, call the Gunstock Inn and Fitness Center at 293-2021.

New England Brass to visit schools, give free concert Friday evening at Plymouth church
The New England Brass will visit Laconia High School, as well as elementary schools in Campton, Plymouth and Rumney on Thursday and Friday, November 17 and 18. These appearances will culminate in a free community concert at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 18 at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Plymouth. (Courtesy photo)
PLYMOUTH — The New Hampshire Music Festival’s Visiting Artists Program will provide students and music lovers alike to a free evening of music featuring the New England Brass. As teaching artists for the NHMF’s music education and enrichment series, the New England Brass will visit Laconia High School, as well as elementary schools in Campton, Plymouth and Rumney on Thursday and Friday, November 17 and 18. These appearances will culminate in a free community concert at 7 p.m. on Friday, November 18 at the Church of the Holy Spirit in Plymouth.
The New England Brass, hailed as “one of the most engaging chamber brass ensembles in the country,” offers a refreshing diversity of sound, stylistic versatility, and spell binding virtuosic showmanship. They have been performing for enthusiastic audiences in the Northeast and beyond since their inception in 1980. When not playing as an ensemble, the musicians hold principal positions with the Boston Pops, Boston Ballet and Portland Symphony. The Brass is led by founder and trumpet player, Jay Daly. A mainstay of Boston’s diverse music venues, he has endeared himself to audiences and fellow musicians alike as “one of the most versatile trumpet players in the Boston area,” (Boston Globe), and has performed with the legendary Frank Sinatra, Mel Tormé, and Tony Bennett. Since 1985, the New England Brass and the New Hampshire Music Festival have enjoyed a partnership through the Visiting Artist Program as well as the Bank of America “Music in Our Schools” series. The NHMF Visiting Artists Program is the centerpiece of the Festival’s year-round music education and enrichment programing. Bringing world-class teaching artists to students across New Hampshire, these programs have reached more than 50,000 students over the last twenty years. For more information contact the New Hampshire Music Festival office at 279–3300 or visit online at www.nhmf.org.

and, subsequently, director of the piece. ‘Groucho’ debuted off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre in 1986 and ran 254 performances. In London, the show was nominated for three Laurence Olivier Awards. They recently re-teamed to produce ‘Groucho’ as a PBS national pledge program.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 15, 2011— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Here’s the story: My sister married into a wealthy family. Unfortunately, her husband died three weeks ago at the age of 63. My grieving sister was visiting with her in-laws recently and was informed through casual conversation that they had prepared a new will so that their surviving two sons receive equal shares of the estate, and no provision had been made for my sister. Now she feels as if 35 years of being a loyal, loving and dependable family member meant nothing to these people. Although I know they have no legal obligation to include their late son’s spouse in their will, don’t you think there is a moral obligation to see that she is provided for to some degree after being part of their family all this time? I’m sure if they had had children together, the kids would have inherited some of that money, but because they were childless, my sister gets nothing. Is this fair? -- Just Wondering in the USA Dear Wondering: We know you have your sister’s best interests at heart, but keep in mind that parents have no obligation, moral or otherwise, to leave their estate to any of their children or grandchildren. They could easily give it all to charity. Unfortunately, when one child receives less, for whatever reason, it gives the impression that the child is not loved as much as the others. We suspect your sister’s in-laws are simply dividing the estate to ensure that it goes to future descendants, but your sister feels that her contributions and devotion are not valued. This is undoubtedly not true, and she might want to express those hurt feelings to them before the relationship is permanently damaged. We do hope they leave her some piece of jewelry or other personal memento, however, to show how
much they love and appreciate her. Dear Annie: My wife and I are a mature couple in our mid50s. We were very passionate when we married 11 years ago, but time has taken the wind out of “Betty’s” sails. I don’t begrudge her the change of life. What bothers me is how overly sensitive she is to discussing the issue. I’m not looking for an excuse to have a fling, and seeing a counselor is out of the question. I love Betty and want our lives together to be happy. Her doctor prescribed hormone replacement therapy, but she’s a bit iffy about taking it. How can I resolve my strong desire for her when she’s told me straight-out that she feels guilty she isn’t able to share those special moments with me anymore? -- Chagrined in Chicago Dear Chagrined: Betty needs to understand that although her desire is diminished and there may be some physical difficulties with intimacy, she must make the effort for the health of her marriage. This doesn’t necessarily mean hormone replacement if she doesn’t want to take it, but it does require some accommodation and a willingness to try. If she refuses to discuss this with you, a counselor or her doctor, cut this letter out, put it on her pillow tonight and tell her we think she should make every effort to work on this. Dear Annie: “A Bewildered Mother” said she found out on Facebook that her daughter had married. She said she only spoke to her every six weeks. In your response, you referred to her “semi-annual” phone calls. But semi-annual means twice a year, not every six weeks. -- Kathy in the Villages Dear Kathy: You are right -- along with the dozens of other readers who took us to task for getting it wrong. Thirty lashes with a wet noodle for us.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 15, 2011— Page 27
Singer Wendy Nottonson to perform at NH Jazz Home Assist program Center at Pitman’s Freight Room on Thursday will be explained 11/22 at Wesley Woods in Gilford
LACONIA — The NH Jazz Center at Pitman’s Freight Room will present the Wendy Nottonson Quartet on November 17 at 8 p.m. Ms. Nottonson is a dynamic vocalist who has gained recognition for her singular timing, phrasing, vocal agility and linguistic diversity. Her influences span from Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter to Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Eva Cassidy. Her CD “Lover Man” has been fondly received, with one critic celebrating that her “voice rests on a lilty vibrato, her teasing approaches suggest Ella (Fitzgerald), and she perfectly juxtaposes quick successions of lyrics with drawn out melodic stretches.” (Eric Weld - NHjazz.com) Ms. Nottonson will perform with pianist John Funkhouser, bassist John Hunter and drummer Tim Gilmore. General admission is $10 (doors open at 7:15 p.m.). Venue is BYOB Upcoming shows: 12/1 Ayn Inserto Jazz Orchestra; 12/8 Eliana Marcia & Banda Azul; 12/15 Johannes Wallmann; 12/22 Charlie Jennison; 12/29 Nick Goumas; 1/5 Michael-Louis Smith Trio; 1/12 The Reese Project; 1/19 Harry Allen & Rossano Sportiello; 1/26 “Downtown” Bob Stannard & those Dangerous Bluesmen; 2/2 Trent Austin; 2/9 Phillip Hamilton; 2/16 Dave Liebman
GILFORD — Sue Tolcser from Lakes Region Community Services will be at Wesley Woods Tuesday November 22 at 11:30 a.m. to discuss the benefits of the agency’s HomeAssist Program. The program enables Lakes Region seniors and individuals with chronic illnesses to access the supports they need to be able to stay in their homes. The HomeAssist Program is licensed by the state of New Hampshire as a Home Care Service Provider and certified as an Other Qualified Agency (OQA). The HomeAssist Program provides non-medical hands on services such as meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, escort and transportation, medication reminders, assistance with household responsibilities and general companionship. It provides those receiving services with flexibility and choices as to who will provide their in-home supports. If the person receiving services knows a neighbor or friend they already trust who can help them with their needs, HomeAssist can help formalize an employment arrangement with that individual. RSVP to Stace at 528-2555, or sdhendricks@wesleywoodsnh.org. A light lunch will be served.
