Almost 1,400 registered to vote in Laconia on Nov. 6

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The sheer numbers of voters who registered on election day have aroused suspicions of fraud among contributors to GraniteGrok, the conservative blog based in Gilford, as well as members of the Belknap County Republican Committee, who

voiced them when the committee met this week.

Mary Reynolds, the Laconia City Clerk said yesterday that 1,395 new registrants voted in the six wards of the city on November 6, while 371 voters registered on election day in Gilford and 381 in Meredith.

The total in Laconia repre-

sented 18 percent of the people who voted.

Numbers like these prompted Steve Macdonald of GraniteGrok to initiate an investigation. Posting two days after the election, he asked those sharing his suspicions from across the state to obtain copies of their town’s voter checklists imme-

diately before and immediately after the general election. Then those who registered on election day could be identified and steps could be taken to determine who was and who was not a legitimate voter. He invited people to forward the checklists to GraniteGrok whose consee VOTERS page 11

Police describe program to identify & try & help hard-core homeless

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As part of a Problem Oriented Policing (POP) project — a team of Police Department employees led by a sergeant and including civilians, joined forces and spent the past year determining how to help the homeless who can and want to

be helped.

In the short term, said Patrol Officer Rob Sedgley who presented the results to the Police Commissioners yesterday afternoon, the goal was to identify the victims and statistically analyze the data.

“What we can do as police is the longterm goal,” Sedgley said.

Sedgley said an immediately identifiable problem is substance abuse “however that is not entirely representative of the homeless population.”

Statistically, he said, the number of criminal offenses directly related to homelessness are level from 2010 to 2011. Typisee HOMELESS page 10

Post Office reports record loss of $15.9B

WASHINGTON (AP) — The struggling U.S. Postal Service on Thursday reported an annual loss of a record $15.9 billion and forecast more red ink in 2013, capping a tumultuous year in which it was forced to default on billions in payments to avert bankruptcy.

The financial losses for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30 were more than triple the $5.1 billion loss in the previous year. Having reached its borrowing limit, the mail agency is operating with little cash on hand, putting it at risk in the event of an unexpectedly large downturn in the economy.

“It’s critical that Congress do its part and pass comprehensive legislation before they adjourn this year to move the Postal Service further down the path toward financial health,” said Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe, calling the situation “our own postal fiscal cliff.”

Much of the red ink in 2012 was due to mounting mandatory costs for future retiree health see PO page 12

4 dead & 17 hurt as train hits veterans parade in Texas DALLAS (AP) — A freight train slammed into a parade float carrying wounded veterans on Thursday, killing four people and injuring 17 others as the float drove through a West Texas railroad crossing on its way to an honorary banquet, authorities said.

The eastbound train was sounding its horn before it hit the float around 4:40 p.m. in Midland, Union Pacific spokesman Tom Lange said. A preliminary investigation indicates the crossing gate and lights were working at the time, Lange said, though he

didn’t know if the train crew saw the float approaching.

Two people died at the scene of the crash, while two others died at Midland Memorial Hospital, City of Midland spokesman Ryan Stout said. Seven of those injured are in critical condition, while the 10 others are in stable condition, he said.

“There is going to be a very thorough investigation,” Lange said. “It’s obviously a very tragic incident.”

Photos of the float taken during the parade show about two dozen people seated

in chairs set up on the back of a flatbed tractor-trailer decorated with American flags and signs identifying each veteran.

A banner across the truck’s front bumper reads, “Heroes on Board.”

The float was among two flat-bed trucks carrying veterans and their spouses, police said. The first truck safely crossed the railroad tracks, but the second truck’s trailer was hit by the train. Police said some of the people on the second trailer were able to evacuate before the crash. see PARADE page 10

BP agrees to pay $4.5 billion for Gulf disaster; 3 employees charged NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A day of reckoning arrived for BP on Thursday as the oil giant agreed to plead guilty to a raft of charges in the deadly Gulf of Mexico spill and pay a record $4.5 billion, including the biggest criminal fine in U.S. history. Three BP employees were also charged, two of them with manslaughter.

The settlement with the federal government came 2½ years after the fiery drilling-

rig explosion that killed 11 workers and set off the nation’s largest offshore oil spill.

In announcing the deal, Assistant Attorney General Lanny Breuer said the tragedy “resulted from BP’s culture of privileging profit over prudence.”

BP will plead guilty to charges involving the 11 deaths and lying to Congress about how much oil was spewing from the blownout well.

“We believe this resolution is in the best interest of BP and its shareholders,” said Carl-Henric Svanberg, BP chairman. “It removes two significant legal risks and allows us to vigorously defend the company against the remaining civil claims.”

The settlement appears to be easily affordable for BP, which made a record $25.8 billion in profits last year. And it see BP page 11

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire could save up to $114 million if it decides not to expand Medicaid under the new federal health care law, but it would lose $2.5 billion in federal aid toward health care for the state’s uninsured.

The state Health and Human Services

Department on Thursday released the first part of a study on the impact of expanding Medicaid that examines the cost to the state from 2014 to 2020. The report offers preliminary estimates of what the state might save if it decides not to expand the program as well as estimates of what it would cost.

If New Hampshire expands Medicaid, it could cost an estimated $85 million over seven years. But New Hampshire’s health care providers would share in the $2.5 billion flowing into the state from the federal government over that period. see MEDICAID page 14

Hoboken, N.J. mayor headed home to Laconia for brief R&R; says Sandy made her city a bathtub

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

HOBOKEN, N.J. — When Dawn Zimmer assumed the role of acting mayor in this city in 2009, she knew she’d have a political storm to navigate, as the previous mayor was one of 44 people charged with corruption-related crimes. Since October 29, though, she’s been dealing with a tempest brought not by human failings but Mother Nature’s fury, as Hurricane Sandy — as it did to much of New Jersey and New York City — flooded Hoboken and cut power to nearly all of its 50,000 residents.

In a phone interview yesterday, Zimmer said that floodwaters had receded and electrical service had been restored. However, life was far from normal in the square-mile city, situated across the Hudson River from midtown Manhattan.

As Zimmer related, Sandy seemed to pass without much damage on the evening of Oct. 29. By 8 p.m., the rain had lessened and the city seemed no worse for it. Then came the storm’s surge of sea water, coinciding with a full-moon high tide.

Hoboken was used to flooding — in fact, it was persistent flooding that first inspired Zimmer, a 1986 graduate of Laconia High School, to engage with her local government. Since then, Hoboken had installed a pump station that could remove 75 million gallons per day from the city’s sewers. It couldn’t drain the Hudson, though.

“This was a different kind of flooding. This was the Hudson River coming into the city from the north and the south, filling the city like a bathtub.” The water rolled in like ocean waves, flooding more than half of the city with anywhere from four to eight feet of water. At the same time, nearly all of Hoboken had lost power.

Prior to the storm’s arrival, Zimmer had ordered a mandatory evacuation for all basement and streetlevel apartments. Even those whose second-story and higher apartments remained dry, their residents were now marooned by floodwater and without electricity — a dangerous situation, especially for elderly residents or those with acute medical needs. Responding to the situation was not easy, especially considering that much of the municipal infrastructure — three of the four fire stations and the hospital, among others — were among the buildings affected by the flooding.

Happily, reported Zimmer, reinforcements from

the National Guard, local emergency responders and concerned neighbors joined forces to limit casualties. There were a few close calls, said Zimmer, but no deaths in Hoboken as a result of Sandy. “I feel like we saved lives,” she said.

To help save those lives, Zimmer moved into City Hall for three days, while her husband and two sons were marooned at home. Her time was well spent, coordinating with state and federal agencies, including two conference calls with President Barack Obama, to ensure that her residents’ basic needs could be met.

Now that the flooding is over with, and power mostly restored, she’s turned her attention to saving livelihoods. “There’s a serious gap in insurance coverage.” Those who lived in street-level or basement apartments are finding that, although the property owner might have had to purchase flood insurance, there’s little coverage for the residents or businesses who suffered great loss. “The flood insurance program really needs to be changed for the urban environment,” she said. Well-to-do individuals can get guaranteed coverage for beachfront homes, but those in basement apartments are finding themselves hung out to dry.

“It’s a fairness issue,” Zimmer said.

To help fill that “gap,” Zimmer urged anyone who wishes to help to visit rebuildhoboken.org, a website that features a video of Zimmer explaining the level of disaster in Hoboken, and where there’s also a means to donate. Zimmer said funds would be given directly to local residents and small business owners who were damaged by the flood but looked over by the flood insurance program.

More pressing than insurance reform, though, Zimmer is concerned about the many Hoboken residents who don’t have heat due to furnaces and boilers damaged by floodwaters. “My biggest concern right now is to get everyone back with heat.” Building owners don’t want to replace their heating units without first having an insurance adjustor confirm that the equipment is indeed ruined, but the adjustors are so overloaded with claims that they haven’t found time to come to Hoboken. It’s a similar story with cars — nearly every car that was parked on the street during the storm has sustained damage greater than the vehicle’s worth, but try getting a Federal Emergency Management Agency represensee next page

No love for Northern Pass at public hearing in Plymouth; speakers urge commission headed by Forrester to return to earlier position that new transmission lines be buried

By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

PLYMOUTH — The legislative commission which is examining energy projects such as Northern Pass has been strongly urged to return to its earlier positions that any new major power lines be buried as well as imposing a one-year moratorium on such ventures.

Those views were stated by speaker after speaker who turned out for a public hearing Wednesday evening. An estimated 150 to 200 people showed up for the hearing at the Flying Monkey Movie House and Performance Center.

Though Northern Pass, a proposed high-voltage power line originating in Canada that would run through the state, is not the commission’s sole focus, it was clearly uppermost in the minds of those at the hearing. All those who spoke during the two-hour hearing voiced strenuous opposition to the Northern Pass project. They said if the project is to be built at all its lines should be buried in order to protect the state’s scenic beauty, particularly in the North from preceding page tative to view the damage so the owner can file for federal disaster relief. Zimmer can’t get a FEMA inspector to view her sodden car, and she’s the mayor.

The past few weeks have been trying for Hoboken and its mayor. Zimmer looks forward to Thanksgiving, when she plans to take a short break while visiting her parents, Bill and Hazel Zimmer, in Laconia.

Despite the challenging times, Zimmer said she continues to enjoy leading the city, and plans to run for election when her term expires this year.

“At the end of the day, I totally love the job. I’m giving back to the community, for me.” Zimmer added, about Hoboken, “this feels like an extension of my family.”

Country, where they said tourism is essential to that region’s fragile economy. Many also urged that the lines be run along existing transportation corridors, including railroad beds.

In arguing for a moratorium, many of the speakers said that projects such as Northern Pass should not be approved until the state has a comprehensive energy policy which would provide a framework for assessing such large-scale ventures. “(The state) doesn’t seem to have an energy policy,” said state Sen. Jeanie Forrester of Meredith, the commission’s chairman. “I would like to see us work on a comprehensive policy,” she told the audience.

“Recreation is the mainstay of our economy,” said Nancy Martin of Sugar Hill.

To emphasize that point Sandy Bergquist of Lancaster said, “The people (of Coos County) don’t (just) love the mountains, it’s their livelihood.”

They and others said that since there is no evidence that new major power lines are needed in order to meet electrical demand in New Hampshire, state residents should not have to pay the price of a marred landscape in order to satisfy the electrical demand elsewhere.

Many rejected the arguments by Public Service of New Hampshire and Hydro Quebec, Northern Pass’s principal partners, that putting the transmission lines underground would be prohibitively expensive. Some speakers said plans for a major power line in New York state include burying the lines. Others said that instead of spending “millions” for lobbyists to argue its case, Northern Pass should instead use that money to defray the cost of underground utilities.

Most who addressed the hearing were from communities north of Franconia Notch. But there were also speakers were from the Plymouth area as well as few from the southern part of the state — like Deerfield and Rochester.

The attendance was considerably larger than for the first hearing held Nov. 7 in Concord which drew just five members of the general public, according to state Rep. Larry Rappaport, R-Colebrook, one of the commission’s 10 members. “Northern Pass is a big issue in Coos County, but it’s less of an issue as you go south,” Rappaport said, explaining the difference in attendance.

Jim Dannis of Responsible Energy Action, a group critical of the Northern Pass proposal, said the issue requires more study and he urged the commission to “find a way to continue your work.” Similarly, John Ames of Pittsburg urged the commission to go slow.

“Take three years. Take five years,” he said.

But after the hearing adjourned, Forrester said that in spite of the call for further study the commission would complete its draft proposal by Dec. 1, as required by the law creating it. The commission met Thursday to hold the first of what she expected to be two meetings before the drawing up the final draft. She expected that the draft would be complete in 10 days or so.

In its initial draft the commission recommended that new major power lines be buried and that there be a one-year moratorium, but dropped those recommendations in response to sharp criticism from business interests and others. Forrester also noted that some state agencies represented on the commission were uncomfortable with recommendations that might be construed that their agencies had prejudged projects that they might have to rule on in the future.

Forrester said she personally thought the moratorium was “not a bad idea,” and that if it was not one of the recommendations in the commission’s report, it could be implemented by legislative action.

Tea Party can do much harm anymore The tea party now has its own news site. Based at the Venetian Resort in Las Vegas, the Tea Party News Network describes itself as “the only trusted news source.” It focuses on such right-wing heroes as Michele Bachmann and Allen West, who just lost an election for a House seat in South Florida — though perhaps not on TPNN. That the patriots have rejected the Republican establishment as governance sympathizers is no longer a concern of the Republican establishment. Many GOP leaders blame tea party antics for their recent electoral defeats. Now they must deal with the “fiscal cliff” and are going to need all the reality-based supporters they can get. Better to have the patriots saying remarkable things far from the Fox News studios in New York and Washington.

The tea party is one reason we’re at the fiscal cliff — a kind of witching hour on Jan. 1. It is when the Bush tax cuts are scheduled to expire, along with a payroll tax cut included in the 2009 stimulus bill.

It is kick-off time for $1.2 trillion in automatic spending cuts over 10 years. Taking that much money out of the economy so quickly could send America back into recession.

The spending cuts are a hangover from the debt-ceiling fiasco of a year ago. Recall from that time of national insanity the patriots threatening to send the United States into default on its debt. Recall their stopping so-called Republican leaders from making a deal that included any new tax revenues. Recall grownups from both parties — terrified of economic disaster in the event of a default — agreeing on the above radical spending cuts should a better plan not arrive in time.

The Republican Party took the rap for the debt ceiling and is under suspicion for the fiscal cliff. A new Washington Post-Pew Research poll has 53 percent of Americans ready to blame Republicans if America actually goes over the edge and only 29 percent planning to point fingers at President Obama.

Understanding this, thoughtful Republicans are feeling freer to risk the tea partiers’ wrath and cooperate with Democrats. The teams may disagree on much, but at least they’re now playing in the same ballpark.

Obama wants the Bush cuts to expire only for the wealthy. Republicans want to extend them for everyone but eliminate some deductions and close a bunch of loopholes. They also talk of limiting the amount of deductions the rich can take. All solid ideas, though it appears that ending tax breaks alone will not raise enough revenues.

Put another way, the middle class would have to pay more in taxes to make the numbers work. Americans in the comfortable middle may eventually have to pitch in, but since the richest Americans benefited most mightily from the Bush tax cuts, they should go first.

On spending, Republicans are agonizing over the automatic $600 billion cut in military spending.

During the campaign, they wanted additional defense spending. Now they should settle for less. More Americans are asking why they spend as much on defense as the next 10 countries put together.

Deficit hawks must also look at entitlements. (The exception would be Social Security, an earned benefit.) The Affordable Care Act makes a start on slowing the rising costs of Medicare, and the Obama administration has long indicated a willingness to go further.

All this potential cooperation won’t play very well at TPNN headquarters. No matter. The patriots can’t do much harm anymore.

What they think in Vegas can stay in Vegas. Anyhow, they have their hands full finding mystery votes in Florida for Allen West.

I know you voted for me so I could represent your interests To the editor, I would like to thank the voters in Belknap District 5 who voted for me on November 6. I am honored that you have given me this opportunity to serve you.

I anticipate many challenges ahead, the first being just to learn how things work and then trying to understand the “language” of politics. I will do my best to respond to the issues that arise on the basis of the values I have embraced, the same values that I assume influenced you to vote for me. I will endeavor to make decisions that will be consistent

with preserving our freedoms, our right to life, liberty and conservatism. No one can see every facet of every issue, and so I invite you to share with me your thoughts and impressions on any legislation that arises. It will always be my goal to be fair and objective.

Our lives are full of demands, our time is limited and I know you voted for me so that I could represent your interests. Thank you for your trust. (stevedistrict5@gmail.com) Stephen Holmes Alton

LETTERS Why the killing & destruction? Because there’s big money in war To the editor, Let’s look back and try to assess what we have accomplished in the last 11 years. We, as a people, have endured years of anxiety and loss from two terrible wars overseas. We have lost over 6,500 military men and women who gave their lives in defense of their country, and protecting other countries from harm. Finally, things will change.

Two years from now, we will finally disengage military troops from Afghanistan. If all goes well, in the interim, we will start to rebuild our economy focusing our time and attention on our own country — for a change. It has been a decade of deceit, conspiracy, and military dominance: financed by borrowed money (nearly $4 trillion, when all is said and done) our grandchildren will have to pay!

Let’s correct some of the deceptions we have been listening to. First off, these have not been wars, as no war was declared in either conflict.

They have been, and still are, illegal invasions and occupations of foreign countries: something we have condemned around the world. During the presidency of George W Bush this country broke every domestic and international law in the pursuit of

(war) in Iraq. Our elected representatives totally ignored the illegality we were getting into: in lieu of the billion dollar military contracts that would ensue. The public was deceived by a president who made lying a way of life. People became afraid — and still fearful today, long after the peril is over. These so-called terrorist dangers have not existed in this country for over 10 years, evidenced by the fact, not one person has died in that time.

There has been a few well publicized exceptions. Still, the military pushes their agendas as if we were in mortal danger every day.

Why has all this killing and destruction taken place, far from us and our concerns. Why? Because there’s big,big money in (war.) As a nation, we have spent more money killing people in Iraq and Afghanistan than any other single endeavor — including health care! In short, a complacent and believing public have been victimized and deceived by powerful and influential people in Washington, lobbying for their industrial partners to enrich them beyond their wildest expectations. Sadly, it’s been Vietnam, all over again!

Of course there is mediocrity, because that’s what some strive for To the editor, This Saturday I will be speaking with Mayor Mike Seymour, City Councilors Hamel, Lahey, and Lipman. I am told that Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin will also join us during my radio program (8-9:30). Appropriate calls are welcome.

Having a public forum for ideas and discussion in The Daily Sun is appreciated. People like me who continue to participate in the political arena as a critic, activist who loves America, perhaps not so much since Obama’s 2008 election, will fight for the return of a great country that I grew up in. It is a waste of time to respond to some writers in this paper who suggest that not falling into line because America lost

on 11/6 is bad behavior. That is not the way it works for me and most other principled conservatives. America has always been a place where people compete. Well, that was before the Entitlement Society movement began in earnest. “Equality of Outcome” so to speak is part of the “Takers” segment of Americans.

If all you have is the fact that I do not like the idea of labor unions, especially those who are taxpayer funded, then you will have to live with it. Wouldn’t be wonderful if we were paid what we are actually worth to an employer? Of course there is mediocrity if that is what one strives for!

LETTERS Who voted for Obama? People addicted to every form of welfare To the editor, America wasted countless billions to produce the same political metrics it had Nov. 5th. The electorate intentionally handcuffed Obama with a Republican Congress after observing his spending binge of 2008/2009. They did not have the courage to vote for Romney to improve their job prospects and an improved economy over welfare handouts. Future presidential aspirants take notice. The current electorate is going to ignore candidates with a long resume of business experience and evidence of leadership that leads to their wealth and success. To the future, TYPICAL Democratic voter, a failed, destitute, ignorant, drunk will offer better prospects if he utters the magic words “more cheese” while muttering, I think I feel your pain when I’m sober.

Democrats want “ cheese” over improving prospects of finding a JOB or a world class economy. Business acumen and accomplishment in the future will be ANCHORS of qualification to be president (as they were for Romney) as incredible as it sounds. THE 47 percent care NOTHING of presidential qualifications or tax policy or spending restraint or intelligence. Why would they? They have no financial stake in AMERICA. Presidential failure to produce growth or jobs will not seen as justification for removal. It is a real wake up call just how far this country has lowered it’s standards, prostituted its values and compromised it’s principles. The country that lead the world for a century has become sadly just another steadily eroding, government controlled, bureaucracy, welfare state assuring declining living standards for everyone. Most of all the middle class that will fall from that plateau. It is ALREADY HAPPENING and we vote for more “Cheese please” from the king of cheddar handouts Barack Obama.

Just who Did and DID NOT vote for Obama last week.

1. The population over age 65 by majority didn’t vote for Obama. They voted for Romney.

2. The married people across America did not by majority vote for Obama.

They voted for Romney.

3. Those defined as religious, church going people did did not vote by majority for Obama. They voted for Romney.

4. The whites who dominate race by population in America did not by majority vote for Obama. They voted overwhelmingly for Romney 59 percent.

5. The white, WORKING CLASS, BLUE COLLAR Americans did not by majority vote for Obama. They voted for Romney.

6. The JOB CREATORS of America did not vote by majority for Obama.

They voted for Romney.

7. The BUSINESS COMMUNITY did not vote for Obama by majority.

They voted for Romney.

8. The entrepreneurs did not vote for Obama by majority. They voted for Romney.

9. The people who PAY income taxes and hold jobs did not vote by majority for Obama. They voted for Romney.

10 The successful innovators and creators that bring you i-phones and i-pads did not vote for Obama. They voted for Romney.

11. The land area of America did not vote for Obama. 70 percent of the counties in America voted by majority for Romney.

Who the hell voted for Obama? The people ADDICTED to every form of GOVERNMENT welfare, from food stamps to 99 weeks of unemployment that was once 26. Government employees, public employees and especially public employee unions of every type; all people trying to suck the life out of taxpayers through higher tax levies on EVERYTHING to fund higher wages/benefits for themselves. Of course the minorities who seek riches through their vote rather than their work under wealth distribution and some Obama induced fantasy notion of guaranteed economic EQUALITY as if this were socialist America not capitalist America. The almost half of America (47 percent) who pay NO INCOME TAXES almost all vote for Obama. Why? He assures them they WILL NEVER pay any taxes.

The young voted for Obama. Millions of them are in debt up to their see next page

It’s reasonable to reach out to winners in search of compromise To the editor, I am a regular reader of The Laconia Daily Sun. At age 70 I am the 5th consecutive generation of my family to be a lifelong resident of the Holderness/Sandwich area. My son and adult grandchildren are also deeply rooted in the area — something I’m very proud of. I am as “hard-core conservative” as you will ever find.

These facts bring me to the point of this letter. Mr. E. Scott Cracraft, who is a frequent letter writer, goes to great lengths to point out the differences between conservatives and liberals. No one wanted Obama to lose the election any more than I did. However, this IS America, a democracy,

where majority rules. Therefore, we have Obama for four more years. This was a bitter pill for me to swallow.

At this time it seems reasonable to reach out to the winners and try to find some common ground rather than waste further valuable time fighting.

Mr. Cracraft seems to want to use our differences as an excuse to continue to feud. Hopefully, as time goes by he may reconsider some of his very liberal views and try to find a sense of compromise and cooperation. It is through a blending of different views that hopefully we will find answers to some of the major issues troubling our great nation.

Our government has to stop wasting money and buying votes To the editor, Well the election has come and gone.

No more blaming the other guys Mr. President!

The fiscal cliff is approaching and its time we take that threat seriously!

As of yesterday (11/14) the only way the president wants to fix our financial situation is to tax the rich. The media has covered for him from day one and its time they start doing their job. Spending is the problem, not revenue. For those people out there that think raising taxes on the rich is going to solve the problem, you’re living in a fantasy land. We cannot spend a TRILLION dollars more than we take in and think we’re okay, WE ARE NOT OKAY! I want to see a plan from the president and the leaders in Congress (if you can call them leaders) on how we are going to more forward and secure our future.

The financial situation we find ourselves in transcends politics and party lines. It will effect everyone, the millionaires, billionaires, middle income people, and the poor. How can we meet

our financial obligations if we don’t have enough money to do so? Contrary to popular belief people will stop lending us money if we continue down the path we’re on.

Countries around the world that are facing the same crisis we are must be scratching their heads wondering why we don’t see the trouble we’re in.

We the people deserve answers from the politicians!

We deserve better.

The only way we can come out of this crisis is to demand that the government stops wasting money and buying votes!

To all you liberals out there, look closely because if we don’t get this right the people you claim to want to help will be hurt. The poor will suffer the most! Can’t you see that?

It’s time the media does their job and demands answers for us and stops covering for this president.

I see dark days ahead.

Becareful for what you wish for, it just might come true!

LETTERS Our government doesn’t understand danger posed by Islam To the editor, It has been some time since I wrote about the Islamic issue and Sharia Law, as an ideology that is incompatible with culture. (Reference my letter of 12-1511 published in The Daily Sun.) U.S. immigration laws continue to allow Muslims to legally (and illegally) enter the country. In doing so, they take jobs and practice their religious ideology (Islam, and the Koran).

They do not assimilate into the American culture and steadfastly adhere to their home country ways. They cluster and bring more and more Muslims into the country and vigorously practice their religious ideology and in particular promote Sharia Law, to trump local, state and federal law. The family hierarchy of their home country controls the entire community and in particular demeans and abuses women. Many are attempting to practice Sharia Law in America and in some parts of the U.S. they are being successful. (Dearborn, Michigan, and others). Many believe they are winning the Sharia Law battle.

There are over 1500 Mosques in the U.S., mostly built by Arab Nation money, and at least one in New Hampshire. It is in Manchester, under development.

One report is an estimated 3000+ Muslims are in New Hampshire.

Americans need to pay attention and study Islam enough to be knowledgeable. I’ve done some work on that and from what I have learned, it is not good for America. I’ve concluded that Sharia Law is not compatible with our values. There are numerous acts of horrific treatment of women here in the U.S. and abroad, by Muslims that we can site, to support that conclusion. There is much information on the web, and some reports occasionally in newspapers. Americans hear little on the television, for the news media is liberal left-wing supporters, (except Fox News and maybe CNN) and will not report it. Our president is a supporter of the Muslim world and some Americans, many, believe he himself is a Muslim. Time will tell the truth there.

Here is a recent example (actually occurred in February 2012) of an act in Phoenix, Arizona by a Muslim family, to one of their daughters, (age 19) that we all should understand. It was reported yesterday as a ruling by a left-wing Democratic Judge named Joseph Kreamer, a 2007 Janet Napolitano appointee. We won’t hear anything of it by the mainstream media... so if you want more detail, you will need to Google; Judge Joseph Kreamer and/or Mohammed Altameemi, and read. There are many articles on it ... on going.

It seems the daughter, Aiwa, was punished for speaking to a non-Muslim boy at school and for refusing to be married to a 38 year old Muslim. For that she was beaten, burned with hot tools such as kitchen spoons, tied to a bed, and her throat cut with a kitchen knife, by her father. Luckily her mother took her to the hospital, where she recovered, and the police got involved and charges resulted. That all happened about February 2012.

The ruling by the judge was “probation”, for all members of the family, (mother, father and sister) who will serve two years probation. (Most of us would have gotten many years jail time, with much more serious and severe charges.) Apparently Aiwa went home with the family and we should all wonder how she is faring and pray for her safety.

Now, Americans, New Hampshire residents, wake up, this Islamic issue is serious look at the latest Benghazi, Libya issue where four Americans died, including the ambassador. If you are not following the updates on Fox News (the other channels don’t carry it much), you won’t know much about it.

The administration seems determined to”cover-up” the true story here, seemingly to protect their on going conclusion that al Qaida is “on the run” since Obama killed Osama bin Laden and “spiked the football”. The CIA, FBI, and senior army generals are involved and it may come down as the cover up of the century. It’s all around the Mid East policies of the president.

The sad thing is our government does not seem to understand the danger that the Islamic ideology has for America. The president, and most of our leadership, seem to think we can be nice to them, placate them, allow them to subordinate Americans and our way of life, and all will be well.

Nonsense, we need to recognize Islam for what it is; a dangerous incompatible ideology that will not work as long as the Koran is their guide. It will not work as long as they conclude that any disagreement with Islam is cause for violence. It will not work as long as they teach their young people to hate Jews and to treat any non-believer of Islam as a subordinate. It will not work as long as they treat women as inferior beings.

If you want to know more on this subject just Google “Islam” and read .. .you will find many knowledgeable sources to help you. Be wary of CAIR (Council on American and Islamic Relations) and The Muslim Brotherhood ... more on this at another time.

Why is it necessary to demonize people who don’t favor gay rights?

To the editor, Here on Thursday I read the letter from my friend Scott Cracraft and though we view things from different points of view, I can agree with a lot of what he says. We are a divided people but what’s new with that? There has always been diverse opinions from the earliest days of our nation. Not to worry Scott, we are in no danger of becoming a monolithic thoughtcontrolled nation any time soon. State secession nor revolution is not in the cards either at this time.

But as for the wealth gap between rich and poor, I do think the gap was considerably wider in the later 19th century (Asters, Vanderbilt’s, Rockefeller’s, Carnegie, et all). It was in those days when unions rose up due to need. After a full century of laws and regulations on business’s and industry the playing field has largely been brought into balance. (Seeking perfection is noble, expecting it is foolish). Let’s not forget that big unions are big businesses and as often as not the union bosses are little different then the CEOs they demonize. Also our private industry and businesses are taxed at the world’s highest rates and regulated more strictly then any other nation on earth. Keeping in mind that these “greedy” businesses create millions of jobs all around the

world as well as here and their profits support retirement funds for millions more of us and at four or five times the growth rate of Social Security, will higher tax’s and more regulations kill the golden goose? Everyone bemoans industry and jobs moving out of the country so how are more regs and taxes supposed to fix that?

Scott’s right that many religious people do not favor gay rights, abortion or any number of non traditional life styles but does that give the left to license to vilify and demonize them.

Plenty of us on the right don’t give a hoot who anyone sleeps with, marries or doesn’t marry. We are not in favor of the government getting into the argument on either side and epically not in favor of government subsidizing any ones recreational activities, sexual or other wise. Don’t we really have bigger problems then this on the table?

Another thing, not related to Scott’s letter but has been bothering me for some time; the left is fond of saying is that conservatives and Republicans are “all racists”. Just when did that happen? I’d like to know? History shows it was just the other way around. Perhaps Scott can weigh in on that question for me.

NORTHERN PASS from page 5 New Hampshire Forests urged the commission to add railroad lines to the list of transportation corridors that could become the rights of way for new major power lines. He also said the commission should adopt a position that the state must protect the scenic views of the North Country, that the impact on the state’s scenic landscape be weighed in deciding where to site major power lines, and that a task force be formed to consider the commission’s draft report. Savage

said the Appalachian Mountain Club, the Conservation Law Foundation and the Nature Conservancy, also supported these recommendations.

Rappaport said that he is sponsoring a bill which would have power lines use existing transportation corridors. Those would include railroad lines as well as I-93, I-95, I-89, and Route 101. Another bill he is sponsoring would require that burying any power line not needed to ensure the reliability of New Hampshire’s electrical system.

Millham declines nomination to GOP committee amid criticism of her endorsements of Dems

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The rift in Republican ranks between its conservative and moderate wings emerged when the Belknap County Republican Committee met this week as Skip Murphy, co-founder of GraniteGrok, the conservative blog, challenged the nomination of Alida Millham, a current but soon to be retired state representative from Gilford, for election to the party’s state committee.

When Millham was nominated, Murphy questioned her eligibility, citing a party bylaw, which he understood to disqualify any Republican who endorsed a candidate of another party in a general election from serving on the state committee.

In letters written to The Daily Sun during the fall election season, Millham endorsed Democrats Kate Miller of Meredith and Lisa DiMartino of Gilford, both of whom ran for four seats the New Hampshire House of Representatives in Belknap County District 2, composed of Meredith and Gilford. DiMartino was elected with the second highest number of votes while Miller finished fifth in a field of nine, which included four Republicans, four Democrats and an Independent.

At the GOP meeting, Millham did not respond immediately .However, later she recalled that conservatives targeted moderates in GOP primaries and, describing herself as “one of the targeted people,” urged her listeners “to take a look at how people in the partite are treated. “ Quoting economist Paul Romer, she remarked “a crisis s a terrible thing to waste” before taking her seat to scattered applause.

The day after the meeting Millham withdrew her name from nomination to the Republican State Committee. “I want to have some flexibility without having to go through this kind of stuff,” she said.

Responding to Murphy, Alan Glassman, the chairman of the county committee, held that the bylaw applied only to the executive committee of the party.

In fact, the reach of the bylaw is narrower than Murphy and broader than Glassman suggested.

The bylaw in question, known as the “Mirski amendment” after Representative Paul Mirski of Enfield, who lost his seat in the general election, was aimed at so-called “RINOS,” or “Republicans in Name Only.” It was adopted after Democrat John Lynch ousted Craig Benson, the incumbent Republican governor, in the election of 2004, which featured “Republicans for Lynch,” a group chaired by Bonnie Newman, who served in the Reagan White House.

“Republicans for Lynch” reappeared soon after John Stephen won the GOP gubernatorial nomination in 2010 and contributed to Lynch’s reelection to a record fourth term. Ironically, the bylaw was invoked against Jack Kimball, the chairman of the party who was forced to resign in 2011, when among other things he was found to have signed a petition to place Libertarian candidates on the ballot.

The bylaw reads that “any registered Republican who at the same time joins or allows his or her name to be used in support of a political committee or a defined group of individuals, that in title or effect is intended to be understood by the public to be a committee or group comprised in whole or in part of members of the Republican Party endorsing a candidate for elected office from another political party , when there is a candidate nominated by the Republican Party for that office, shall be disqualified during the then present and the next biennium” from holding office on the state, county or city committee as well as from serving on either the executive committee or the state committee.

On the one hand, the bylaw does not explicitly penalize individual Republicans for endorsing individual candidates of another party as Murphy assumed. On the other hand, Republicans who join or identify with a group supporting a candidate from another party are disqualified from holding office in the GOP as well as serving on its committees.

City in line for grant to pay for 4 more firefighters for 2 years LACONIA — City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council this week that the Fire Department is on the short list for a federal grant that would fund the employment of four additional firefighters for two years.

Myers said that the department applied for a SAFER (“Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant, administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and expects to learn whether it has been awarded the funding before the year is out. He stressed that the grant would fully fund the four positions for two years without requiring the city to contribute to the cost of either wages or benefits or undertake to

maintain the positions when the grant expires.

Myers said that in response to concerns about staffing and overtime a consultant is in the process of reviewing how the Fire Department manages and deploys its personnel with an eye to making recommendations when the study is complete. At the same time, he said that the Weirs Beach Station is currently understaffed and the grant would provide an additional firefighter on each shift, enabling the department to meet its goal of responding to 60-percent of all emergencies in four minutes or less.

HOMELESS from page one cally those crimes range from minor offenses like shoplifting, squatting, and loitering to felonies like burglary and assault. Non-criminal incidents that involve police are usually protective custody issues related to substance abuse and alcohol.

A partial solution to the problem is for the police to identify who is homeless, determine the circumstances behind their homelessness, and try to direct them to one of their police partners like Genesis Behavioral Health or the Carey House.

He also said the police can reinforce good behavior when they see it as well as enforce the laws.

As an example, he is working with one man who has stopped drinking on his own, “but he’s doing it from a tent.”

“It’s a horrible quality of life,” Sedgley said, noting the man has been sober since July, with one relapse.

During the relapse, Sedgley checked on him, found him intoxicated and put him into protective custody, which means a night in the county jail to get sober. The next day, Sedgley said the man contacted him and told him he was disappointed in himself and feared his lapse would jeopardize their relationship.

He said the man has been sober since and he still checks on him regularly.

The point of the story, he said, is to increase the number of contacts the police have with people who are homeless or near homeless to prevent them from committing crimes or coming to harm. This time of year, he said freezing to death is a real possibility.

Sedgley said the nearly two years of statistics show that routine contact

between the police and the homeless reduces the number of crimes and arrests within that population.

Patrol Officer Eric Adams (no relation to Chief Chris Adams) said there is also a great deal of “couch surfing” in the city. By that he said many people are moving from place to place, often sleeping outside for a few days, then staying with a friend or relative, and then heading back into the streets. He said they often get some money at the beginning of the month and will take a room at a downtown hotel just to take a shower and sleep in a bed.

Eric Adams said the first contact for police is typically a field interrogation, which is a term for an interview and a contact. The goal, he said, is to determine when and where people are and why they are there.

He said the goal is not to deter people from walking or being outside but to know why. He said during the initial contact police can observe things like what someone is carrying, wearing and their mood.

The goal, he said is to identify someone who needs help before something happens to him or her or to someone else.

The Laconia Police Relief Association, funded solely through donations and fund-raising, often rents hotel rooms for some people until there is space for them in one of the area’s shelters.

Commissioners wanted to know how many homeless people live in Laconia, to which Chief Adams said the number is hard to quantify. He said there are about 12 “core” people who are homeless. More difficult he said is to identify those who are near homelessness and “couch surfing.”

PARADE from page 2 The parade was to end at a “Hunt for Heroes” banquet honoring the veterans. The wounded service members were then going to be treated to a deer-hunting trip this weekend. The events have been canceled.

Lange said Union Pacific is offering help to the community and victims’ families, as well as peer-to-peer coun-

seling for the train crew, who did not sustain any injuries.

“It’s pretty traumatic for them,” he said.

The National Transportation Safety Board also is investigating, NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said.

Belmont now owns former bank building

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — The town spent a total of $250,000 buying the former Northway Bank Building said Selectman Ron Cormier this week. The bottom line included the purchase price and all closing costs.

Two-hundred and fifty-thousand dollars was the maximum amount allowed under a warrant article passed by the voters at a special town meeting on August 21. The article passed by an eight percent majority with 164 voting for the purchase and 156 voting against.

The transfer deed was recorded October 16 with the Belknap County Registry of Deeds.

The article gave the town the right to purchase the former bank from William and Carolyn McDonough who tried unsuccessfully to sell the building to the town in 2010 for $275,000.

Voters rejected the measure with 311 for town ownership and 421 against.

In 2008, Tony and Lorette Brown owned the building and also tried unsuccessfully to sell the building to the town for $300,000. The vote was narrowly rejected with 134 voting yes and 143 voting no.

The McDonough’s purchased the lot from the Browns in January 2010 for $275,000.

The building has one tenant – The Vault – a hair dressing salon that is scheduled to move to 8 Church St. sometime this winter.

As part of the Village Revitalization Project, the town also voted to close Mill Street Extension, the portion of Mill Street that runs along side of the former bank building.

Selectmen have said that if they were successful in negotiating the purchase they would look into the possibility of using it for town offices.

VOTERS from page one utors would be able cull the new registrants and determine their legitimacy.

When the Belknap County Republican Committee met Skip Murphy, cofounder of GrantiteGrok, spoke to the investigation and encouraged party members to assist with it.

New Hampshire is one of seven states that allow voters to register on election day. The others are Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Washington D.C. In June 2011, the legislature in Maine ended same-day registration, which was introduced in 1973, but five months later it was restored by 59-percent in a popular referendum.

Turnout has been between 10-percent and 12-percent higher in the states with same-day registration than in those without it.

Reynolds said that voters seeking to

register on election day must present proof of citizenship, age and domicile.

A birth certificate, passport, naturalization papers or qualified voter affidavit usually serves as proof of citizenship. Typically a driver’s license serves as proof of age and domicile.

However, if the address on the driver’s license does not match ward or district in which they intend to vote, they must also show evidence of domicile at their stated address, such as a lease, deed, utility bill or piece of mail. Those without proof of age are required to complete a qualified voter affidavit while those without proof of domicile are required to complete a domicile affidavit.

Any investigation of the new registrants as Macdonald envisions would require determining the validity of the documentation presented at the polls on election day.

BP from page 2 will have five years to pay. But the oil giant still faces several billion dollars in additional claims for damage to people’s livelihoods and the environment.

Separately, BP rig workers Robert Kaluza and Donald Vidrine were indicted on federal charges of manslaughter and involuntary manslaughter, accused of repeatedly disregarding abnormal high-pressure readings that should have been glaring indications of trouble just before the blowout.

In addition, David Rainey, BP’s former vice president of exploration for the Gulf of Mexico, was charged with obstruction of Congress and making false statements. Prosecutors said he withheld information that more oil was gushing from the well than he let on.

Rainey’s lawyers said he did “absolutely nothing wrong.” And attorneys for the two rig workers accused the Justice Department of making scapegoats out of them. Both men are still with BP. “Bob was not an executive or highlevel BP official. He was a dedicated rig worker who mourns his fallen coworkers every day,” Kaluza attorneys Shaun Clarke and David Gerger said in a statement. “No one should take any satisfaction in this indictment of an innocent man. This is not justice.”

The settlement, which is subject to approval by a federal judge, includes payments of nearly $2.4 billion to the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation, $350 million to the National Academy of Sciences and about $500 million to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which accused BP of misleading investors by lowballing the amount of crude that was spilling.

It also includes nearly $1.3 billion in fines.

“This marks the largest single criminal fine and the largest total criminal resolution in the history of the United States,” Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference in New Orleans. He said much of the money will be used to restore the Gulf.

Holder said the criminal investigation is still going on. Before Thursday, the only person charged in the disaster was a former BP engineer who was arrested in April on obstruction of justice charges, accused of deleting text messages about the company’s handling of the spill.

Greenpeace blasted the settlement as a slap on the wrist. “This fine amounts to a rounding error for a corporation the size of BP,” the environmental group said.

The largest previous corporate criminal penalty assessed by the Justice Department was a $1.2 billion fine against drug maker Pfizer in 2009.

Belknap County recounts confirm the status quo CONCORD — Recounts of the vote in two of the nine electoral districts for the New Hampshire of Representatives in Belknap County, overseen by the Secretary of State, this week confirmed the original results .

In District 3, consisting of the four seats in Laconia, Robert Kingsbury, an incumbent Republican who finished fifth in the field of eight and lost his seat requested the recount. He noted that all eight candidates faced the same electorate and furthermore, that the four Republican candidates ran similar campaigns and found themselves facing similar criticism for their contribution to the record of the Legislature, which was controlled by Republican lawmakers during the past two years. He found the difference of 500 votes between the winning and losing Republican candidates suspicious.

The recount discovered no improprieties in the conduct of the election or mistakes in the count-

ing of the vats. Kingsbury was charged a fee $20, based on the margin between the elected and losing candidate as a percentage of the total votes cast, for requesting the recount.

The other recount was in District 4 (Sanbornton and Tilton) where Republican Dennis Fields of Sanbornton topped the poll to win one seat and Democrat Ian Raymond, also of Sanbornton, edged fellow Democrat Jane Alden of Tilton by 23 votes to claim the other. Alden requested the recount hoping to gain a seat for Tilton. The town has not sent one of its own to the House for at least two decades and challenged the redistricting plan for failing to award the town the representative to which its population qualified it.

Again, the recount, which cost Alden $10, left the outcome of the election unchanged.

TORRINGTON, Conn. — Police here have been searching for the son of a Laconia woman, Margaret Stevens, who has not been seen since he failed to report to work on November 6.

Robert Chretien, 31, lives with an aunt and uncle at 50 Cantor Drive in Torrington. His father, Geoffrey Chretien, who also lives in Torrington, told police that his son does not own a vehicle. Chretien lived in Laconia as recently as three years ago and visited the state during the past summer.

Torrington police have contacted Chretien’s friends in Connecticut, none of whom reported seeing him since he went missing, as well as his rel-

atives in New Hampshire. His mother said yesterday that she was not aware of anyone her son might be visiting with in the Lakes Region.

Chretien is described as standing five-feet, six inches tall and weighing approximately 120 lbs. with gray eyes and short brown hair. Police have no information about how he might be dressed.

Police urge anyone with information leading to Chretien’s whereabouts to contact Detective James Crean of the Torrington Police Department at 860489-2061 or call the Torrington Police at 860-4892007 or 860-489-2090.

PO from page 2 benefits, which made up $11.1 billion of the losses.

Without that and other related labor expenses, the mail agency sustained an operating loss of $2.4 billion, lower than the previous year.

Donahoe said the post office has been able to reduce costs significantly by boosting worker productivity.

But he said the mail agency has been hampered by congressional inaction on a postal overhaul bill that would allow it to eliminate Saturday mail delivery and reduce its $5 billion annual payment for future health benefits.

“We cannot sustain large losses indefinitely. Major defaults are unsettling,” said Donahoe, who made clear that the Postal Service would now be profitable

had Congress acted earlier this year.

Earlier this year, the post office defaulted on two of the health prepayments for the first time in its history.

The Postal Service, an independent agency, does not receive tax money for its day-to-day operations but is subject to congressional control.

The Senate passed a postal bill in April that would have provided financial relief in part by reducing the annual health payments and providing a multibilliondollar cash infusion, basically a refund of overpayments the Postal Service made to a federal pension fund. The House, however, remains stalled over its own legislation that would allow for aggressive cuts, including an immediate end to Saturday delivery. see next page

Bhutanese celebrate ‘Festival of Light’ in Laconia Bhutanese refugees, both local and some visiting from Manchester and Concord, came to Laconia on Thursday evening to sing and dance in accordance with the traditions of the third day of Deepawali, a Hindu celebration of good over evil, and when sisters and brothers exchange gifts and blessings. The name of the ceremony translates to “Festival of Light.” (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

from preceding page It remained unclear whether House leadership would take up the postal bill in its current lameduck session. Rural lawmakers are resisting action, worried about closures of postal facilities in their communities. Congress is focused now on a Jan. 1 deadline to avert across-the-board tax increases and spending cuts known as the “fiscal cliff.”

While urging quick congressional action, the Postal Service acknowledged the uncertainty in its legal filings on Thursday, which anticipate that Congress will fail to act. But Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and is a sponsor of the House bill, has said he believes postal legislation can be passed this year.

“The U.S. Postal Service is clearly marching toward a financial collapse of its own,” said Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., a sponsor of the Senate bill. “I am hopeful that now that the elections are over, my colleagues and I can come together and pass postal reform legislation so that a final bill can be signed into law by the end of the year.”

Overall, the post office had operating revenue of $65.2 billion in fiscal 2012, down $500 million from the previous year. Expenses climbed to $81 billion, up from $70.6 billion, largely due to the health prepayments. The annual payment of roughly $5.6 billion had been deferred for a year in 2011, resulting in a double payment totaling $11.1 billion that became due this year. The Postal Service is the only government agency required to make such payments.

The post office also has been rocked by declining mail volume as people and businesses continue switching to email and other online options in place of letters and paper bills. The number of items mailed in the last year was 159.9 billion pieces, a 5 percent decrease. Much of the decline came in first-class mail.

MEDICAID from page 2 The agency hired the Lewin Group to look at the pros and cons of expanding the program. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June that expanding Medicaid was optional under the Affordable Care Act. The second part of the report is expected to be released next month and will examine the impact that expanding the program would have on the economy, health care providers, other state agencies and health insurers.

Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas said the decision on whether to expand Medicaid to cover more of New Hampshire’s uninsured — largely adults — rests with the governor and Legislature.

Under the federal health care law, people under age 65 will qualify for Medicaid if they earn up to 138 percent of the federal poverty guideline. For a single adult, that means about $15,000 a year. The federal government will pay 100 percent of the cost to insure these newly eligible enrollees for three years beginning in 2014. Eventually, the federal government’s share of the cost begins to shrink annually until it is 90 percent in 2020, and the state pays the rest.

The study took into account the so-called woodwork effect of people eligible for Medicaid who aren’t enrolled. Under the new law, their medical costs are matched at the current 50-50 rate with the state.

Randall Haught of the Lewin Group estimated that 58,000 of the 113,000 eligible for Medicaid under the new law would enroll. He said 22,000 people would enroll in Medicaid even if the state doesn’t expand because of penalties for not being insured and other provisions in the law.

Haught said the study doesn’t take into account the loss of federal aid to hospitals to help cover their costs of caring for the poor starting in 2014. The state qualifies now for up to $160 million a year in aid matched with the same amount of state money.

The federal law assumes hospitals would have fewer poor people using emergency rooms for basic care if they are covered by Medicaid or buy insurance through a yet-to-be-created health exchange.

Haught estimated the aid available could be half what it is now by 2020.

Democratic Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan campaigned in support of expanding Medicaid to extend coverage to people who can’t afford insurance.

Hassan said in a statement Thursday that the injection of federal health care funding would help

the economy. She said she would review the report but cautioned that “to have a full understanding of the financial impact, we will also need to examine the phases of the report that are still in progress, including an analysis of the benefits to our economy from the influx of federal dollars and the reduction of uninsured emergency room visits.”

Campton hunter injured in off-road vehicle accident

CAMPTON — A 72-year-old Campton man was taken by helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center Wednesday after flipping his off-road vehicle at 9:30 a.m. while heading into the woods to hunt.

H.H. Fish and Game officers said Irving Lang was unable to move after the accident and fired three shots from his gun into the air hoping someone would hear them and report his location.

At 1:15 p.m. Monroe resident Richard Blanchard came across Lang while walking along the same trail while he was hunting. Blanchard contacted authorities.

Rescue personnel from Monroe, Woodsville, the Department of Fish and Game and the DHART assisted at the rescue.

Hamas targets Tel Aviv as part of rocket barrage GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinian militants targeted densely populated Tel Aviv in Israel’s heartland with rockets for the first time Thursday, part of an unprecedented barrage that threatened to provoke an Israeli ground assault on Gaza. Three Israelis were killed in a separate rocket attack in southern Israel.

Air raid sirens wailed and panicked residents ran for cover in Tel Aviv, Israel’s commercial and cultural capital. Israel responded by moving troops and heavy weapons toward Gaza and authorizing the call-up of tens of thousands of reservists.

There was no word on where the two rockets aimed at Tel Aviv landed, raising the possibility they fell into the Mediterranean. A third rocket landed in an open area on the southern outskirts of Tel Aviv.

The fighting, the heaviest in four years, came after Israel launched a ferocious air assault Wednesday to stop repeated rocket fire from Gaza. The powerful Hamas military chief was killed in that strike, and another 18 Palestinians have died over two days, including five children. Some 100 Palestinians have been wounded.

Israeli warplanes struck dozens of Hamas-linked targets in Gaza on Thursday, sending loud booms echoing across the narrow Mediterranean coastal strip at regular intervals, followed by gray columns of smoke. After nightfall, several explosions shook Gaza City several minutes apart, a sign the strikes were not letting up, and the military said the targets were about 70 underground rocket-launching sites.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army was hitting Hamas hard with what he called surgical strikes, and warned of a “significant widening” of the Gaza operation. Israel will “continue to take whatever action is necessary to defend our people,” said Netanyahu, who is up for re-election in January.

There were mounting signs of a ground operation.

At least 12 trucks were seen transporting tanks and armored personnel carriers toward Gaza late Thursday, and a number of buses carrying soldiers arrived. Israeli TV stations said a Gaza incursion was expected on Friday, though military officials said no decision had been made.

Defense Minister Ehud Barak said he authorized the call-up of reservists, and the army said up to 30,000 additional troops could be drafted.

“We will continue the attacks and we will increase the attacks, and I believe we will obtain our objectives,” said Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz, Israel’s military chief.

Hamas, meanwhile, warned it would strike deeper inside Israel with Iranian-made Fajr-5 rockets, acknowledging for the first time it has such longerrange weapons capable of hitting targets some 47 miles (75 kilometers) away. Tel Aviv is 40 miles (70 kilometers) from Gaza.

By nightfall Thursday, Hamas said it had fired more than 350 rockets into Israel. Israel, which estimates Gaza militants have as many as 12,000 rockets, said some 220 rockets struck the Jewish state and another 130 were intercepted by an anti-missile shield.

Israel believes Hamas has significantly boosted its arsenal since the last Gaza war four years ago, including with weapons from Iran and from Libyan stockpiles plundered after the 2011 fall of the regime there.

“After four years, we became stronger, we have a strategy and we became united with all the military wings in Gaza,” said Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum, referring to Hamas’ setbacks during Israel’s last major offensive in late 2008.

In the current round of fighting, Israel is facing an emboldened Hamas with a stronger arsenal and greater regional backing. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, like Hamas a member of the region-wide Muslim Brotherhood, said he was sending a high-level delegation to Gaza on Friday in a show of support for the fellow Islamists there.

Heating oil business owner guilty of assault on woman

NASHUA (AP) — The owner of a New Hampshire heating oil business has been found guilty of simple assault.

Fred Fuller of Manchester received a 90-day sentence, which was suspended for two years. He pleaded no contest Wednesday.

His Hudson-based business, Fred Fuller Oil & Propane, has offices in Milford, Bridgewater, Derry, Goffstown, Laconia, Moultonborough and Northfield.

The Telegraph of Nashua reports the 64-year-old Fuller turned himself in to Hudson police in April after they issued an arrest warrant charging him with forcibly fondling a 29-year-old female employee at his company’s headquarters. Court records say the assault happened in July 2011.

In 2005, he paid $780,000 to settle claims he harassed several of his female employees and tried to get another one to lie for him in court.

MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes High School will host its Third Annual Empty Bowls Dinner on Tuesday, November 20, in the Inter-Lakes JR/SR High School Cafeteria from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Empty Bowls is an international project which began in Michigan in the spring of 1991 to help fight hunger. Hearing of this organization,many students at Inter-Lakes High School joined forces to make a difference. They have created ceramic bowls in which they will be serving a simple meal of rice or

soup at an upcoming dinner. Guests choose a bowl to use that day and to keep as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world. In exchange for the meal and bowl, guests give a suggested minimum donation of $10.

This money will be donated to a hunger-fighting organization to directly impact those most affected by hunger. Empty Bowls projects now occur throughout the country with thousands of participants raising millions of dollars to fight hunger.

Bald Peak Community Fund makes donation to Inter-Lakes Community Caregivers MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes Community Caregivers recently received funding for their volunteer program, provided by the Bald Peak Community Fund, a donor-advised fund of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation.

The Bald Peak Community Fund was founded in 2002 with the intent to give support to their neighbors and communities in need of essential services such as food, heat, youth programs, and care giving.

Funds are raised from the members of the Bald Peak Colony Club and friends who value the rural environment of the Lakes Region, and who are pleased to lend support to the maintenance of that lifestyle.

The grant will be used to fund the efforts of the organization to provide supportive services to residents in need in the towns of Center Harbor, Meredith, Moultonborough and Sandwich.

MERRIMACK — Friends of the Northern Rail Trail in Merrimack County (FNRT-MC) and Grafton County (FNRT-GC) were each awarded Recreational Trails Program (RTP) grants from the N.H. Bureau of Trails recently. FNRT-MC, which has won RTP funding eight times since 2005, plans to extend the rail trail south about three more miles from its present terminus at the Webster Farm in West Franklin to the historic Gerrish Station and Merrimack County Jail and Home in Boscawen, pending final reviews.

On November 8 bed and existing ballast began being graded. Phase 2 of this project is to spread, grade, and compact the new surfacing, consisting

of granite stone dust. This second phase should be completed in this month, weather permitting.

FNRT-MC’s sister organization has also secured grant funds from the N.H. Trails Bureau and will use them to resurface about 7/10 of a mile of existing rail trail in Canaan as far as the Orange Rock Cut. “The hard pack resurfacing project will be bid out and hopefully enough funding will be left to do a little work around the Tewksbury Pond gates as well. The FNRTGC group hopes to start work in November,” says Trail Project Administrator Ken Warren.

Winnisquam FFA excels in parliamentary law competition in Indianapolis

TILTON — Seven members of the Winnisquam FFA Chapter tested their knowledge of parliamentary law at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana during the week of October 22.

The Parliamentary Procedure Team, consisting of Sophie LaRochelle (chair), Brandon Heimlich, Maria Daneault, Lyndsie Simoneau, Tyler Davis, Savanna Donovan and Alexandra Heimlich won a bronze emblem for New Hampshire. The Winnisquam agriculture students earned the privilege of representing the Granite State by winning the state level competition last April.

The National FFA Parliamentary Procedure Career Development Event challenges participants to demonstrate their ability to conduct orderly and efficient meetings, present logical and convincing discussions and properly record meeting procedures.

Each team must take a written exam, conduct a tenminute demonstration, respond verbally to parliamentary law questions and prepare minutes from their demonstration.

The event, held at the 85th National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, is one of many educational activities in which FFA members practice the lessons taught in agricultural education classes. The convention was attended by over 56,000 students, teachers, parents and supporters of the FFA from across the United States.

The National FFA Organization is a national youth organization of 557,318 student members as part of 7,498 local FFA chapters in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

The FFA mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of students by developing their potential for premier leadership, personal growth and career success through agricultural education. The National

The Winnisquam FFA Parliamentary Procedure Team poses at the awards banquet, left to right: Maria Daneault, Savanna Donovan, Tyler Davis, Brandon Heimlich, Alex Heimlich, Lyndsie Simoneau and Sophie LaRochelle. (Courtesy photo)

FFA Organization operates under a federal charter granted by the 81st United States Congress and it is an integral part of public instruction in agriculture.

The U.S. Department of Education provides leadership and helps set direction for FFA as a service to state and local agricultural education programs.

New book to accompany Bag-O-Loot card game

Sefan Wollmar the illustrator of the new children’s book ‘Snitch the Fraccoon’.

LACONIA — Up and coming artist Stefan Wollmar has teamed up with John Shelley, creator of the Bag-O-Loot card game, to illustrate a new children’s book about “Snitch the Fraccoon.” The book is based on the fictional character featured on the back of all the Bag-O-Loot cards, “Snitch”.

Shelley explained that he immediately fell in love with Wollmar’s work when he first saw it. “Stefan had captured the essence I was looking for for the main character. Snitch was fun loving, confident, crafty, and curious. Then when I saw his rendition of “Stumpy Village” where Snitch lives, I knew I had found the right guy for this project.”

Wollmar has a passion for art and is currently working towards a degree in graphic design. “This is an amazing opportunity for me. Getting published in a book this early in my career will be a huge jump

start” said Wollmar.

The two intend to have the book self published and available for purchase by the gift-giving season.

They are using a website called Kickstarter.com to help raise funds for the initial printing of the book.

“At Kickstarter.com, you can actually pre-order the book which helps pay for the printing right up front.

It’s a great site. You can also see and hear the first 10 pages of the book there. Getting to see and hear it is really great. Not only do you get to see Stefan’s awesome artwork, but you get to hear the book which is written is melodic rhyming stanzas similar to what you would read in a Dr. Seuss book.”

The book will come with a plush toy in the likeness of Snitch the Fraccoon. Shelley says the plan is to offer the book by itself or bundled with the plush toy and/or see next page

Winnisquam Whinnies 4-H Club members raise $350 for Live and Let Live Farm

The Winnisquam Whinnies 4-H Club of Belknap County recently raised $350 in support of the Live and Let Live Farm, a nonprofit rescue shelter for horses. Members sold hand crafted dog toys they named “Knotty Rags” and Catnip treats called “Knotty Nips”.

Club members then used the money to purchase and fill a wheelbarrow with horse feed and other much needed supplies to donate to the farm. The Winnisquam Whinnies are based in Tilton NH with members from several surrounding communities. Though officially a horse club, the Whinnies do projects in a wide variety of program areas from crafts to community service to other livestock projects. For more information about the Winnisquam Whinnies or any other 4-H programs in the area, contact the Belknap County, UNH Cooperative Extension Office at 527-5475.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be a bit of inner turmoil to contend with, so anything you can do to bring a sense of calm to your inner world will be extremely helpful. An earth-sign friend, which would be Taurus, Virgo or Capricorn, will ground you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You are in such a laid-back mood that others feel instantly relaxed when they are around you. Suddenly they can be themselves without judgment or worry.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

To be human is to sometimes fear that you’re not going to be good enough to handle the task at hand. Don’t believe the doubting voices; instead let them trigger an extra flow of fuel to your nervous system. The jolt helps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are fully aware that what works for you won’t work for everyone. But that awareness won’t keep you from sharing your opinions and stories just in case someone else can benefit from what you’ve already figured out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be praised for your talent and skill.

As wonderful as this is, it’s not why you do what you do. The personal satisfaction you get from doing your best is your strongest motivation.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16).

Because you’re one of those rare people who actually takes pleasure in the success of your friends, you will be included on a winning team this year.

The success of the group will bring you many personal rewards, including monetary gain. January brings a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. March is most romantic. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 21, 39 and 19.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Random scattered efforts can at times be magically effective, but not now. The result you desire is best attained with a methodical approach. Create or obtain a checklist and use it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t believe what you hear about other people. You’ll keep friends if you steer clear of gossip and make up your own mind about people. Base your opinions on your personal experience instead of hearsay.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Doing something correctly once is not enough to constitute success. What if it was a fluke? Truly successful actions can be repeated. You’ll practice until you can create the desired effect time and again.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re a kind of social director now, so create social scenarios in which you can shine. The friends you invite to experience your brand of fun will become enamored of you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Is good enough really good enough? In certain jobs, you feel that you must go beyond the expectation for your efforts to really count. The trick is in deciding which jobs warrant the extra effort.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It is far easier for you to accept others as imperfect than to accept yourself as a work in progress. Keep in mind that you bond with your fellow man through your vulnerabilities, not through your strengths.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Selfconfidence takes time. You may feel that there is some area of your life in which you are underperforming. Expect to continue to build on a positive experience

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have been married for 16 years. We have two children, one with Asperger syndrome.

Over the years, my sex drive has waned because of stress, age, work, children, etc. I try to make an effort to be intimate every week. I’ve seen a doctor to check my hormone levels, and we are already in family counseling because of our child.

Additional counseling to discuss intimacy would be cost prohibitive.

But, Annie, sometimes I just don’t feel like having sex.

Rather than trying to “woo” me just a little, or even initiate sex when we have quiet time and our kids aren’t likely to walk in, my husband sits and sulks until I make the first move. He does this every single time. During one particularly stressful summer, I didn’t make any moves, and he ignored me for two months. He later admitted that he was just waiting to see how long it would take me to ask for sex. He finally apologized. My husband is otherwise a good guy. He helps around the house and with the kids. But he rarely talks to me unless the conversation has sexual overtones. I have told him that I would prefer more real dialogue -- which would, in fact, lead to more sex -- instead of being bombarded with sexualized comments. Once, he excitedly called me outside, and I thought he had something of import to say. Nope. He thought I looked nice in my shorts and wanted to grope me. I can’t just switch it on like that. And when I don’t respond, he becomes offended.

I appreciate that he finds me sexy, and I know I could work on my libido, but why is it always up to me? Why do I get the guilt trip? What can I say to help him understand that I’m perfectly willing, but would also like him to pay attention to me when he doesn’t want sex? -- Some Talk, Please Dear Talk: Your husband sounds amazingly clueless. His behavior toward intimacy is passive-aggressive, and your re-

sentment only undermines his attempts to have sex. If you cannot get him to understand this, please look into free or low-cost counseling through your church or United Way. It will be worth it.

Dear Annie: A few years ago, we got a dog. Our next-door neighbor made it clear he didn’t like “ugly” fences, so we put up a smaller, aesthetically pleasing fence. The neighbor’s trees prevented us from placing it on the actual property line, so he gained a foot or so.

I purchased climbing roses and planted them along the fence. The neighbor then planted an intrusive vine that is wrapping around my rosebushes. He also has tomato plants draping over the fence and heavy clay pots hung on hooks.

It’s burning me up that they are so inconsiderate. The year before, we went away for a week, and while we were gone, they picked all our ripe cherries.

What is the best way to deal with the situation? We’ll probably be neighbors for another 15 years. -- Wondering What’s Next Dear Wondering: You are much too accommodating, and your neighbor is taking advantage of you. We say put up a high, no-nonsense fence on your property line. If your neighbor objects, tell him, “Good fences make good neighbors.”

Dear Annie: This letter is in response to “Letting Go,” whose boyfriend’s wife died three years ago, and he still has her things in the house.

I married a widower and also found it strange that he had all of his late wife’s belongings in the house. But I am not threatened by these items. My husband’s first wife is only a memory. She was a truly wonderful woman, and I am very lucky to have this man in my life. I am accepted and loved by his first wife’s family. We still have a picture of her prominently displayed in our house. -- California

Who’s the lucky guy? He’s Liz’s latest fella, Criss Chross (played by guest star James Marsden), a Peter Pan-ish would-be entrepreneur who hatches ventures such as an organic gourmet hot-dog truck.

The invitation also specifies that guests (i.e., you viewers) should plan to “bring your own snacks.”
