Blizzard’s lawyer argues license suspension law too vague BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Appealing the suspension of Erica Blizzard’s boating privileges before the New Hampshire Supreme Court yesterday, attorney Jim Moir neither defended her conduct nor questioned her punishment, but instead challenged the constitutionality of the law applied to her case.
The Laconia resident, who works as general manager of her family’s marina business, was not present in the court room for the hearing. Following a hearing in June, 2010 the Department of Safety suspended Blizzard’s boating privileges for three years after she was convicted of negligent homicide in the death of her closest friend, Stephanie Beau-
doin of Meredith, who died when the boat Blizzard was piloting struck Diamond Island in Lake Winnipesaukee on the night of Father’s Day in 2008. While the justices appeared not to doubt the authority of the state to suspend boating privileges several expressed concern that the duration of suspension is at the discretion of the commissioner of safety.
Moir described the statute authorizing the commissioner of safety to suspend or revoke boating privileges (RSA 270E:17) as “unclear, vague and lacking details,” telling the justices that neither the law nor the rules match the length of suspensions to particular offenses. He questioned the statutory authority for sussee COURT page 13

Maine couple, 88 & 87, get married, kiss 3 times
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — A Maine couple have proved that true love knows no age limits. Eighty-eightyear-old Paul Walker married his longtime sweetheart, 87-yearold Ann Thayer, in a rehabilitation center in front of a small group of family and friends on Tuesday. Seated during the ceremony, the two leaned toward each other to kiss not just once but three times after being pronounced husband and wife at the Marshwood Center, where Walker is undergoing rehabilitation. “I don’t think I’ve seen a bride and groom kiss three times,” rehab center administrator Sheri Nadell told the Sun Journal newspaper after the ceremony. Walker, of Lewiston, and Thayer, of Auburn, had been dating for 17 years after meeting at an Auburn church. Both have been married before. “I think it’s sweet,” said Yvonne Wilkinson, Walker’s daughter-inlaw. “I just don’t know why they waited so long.” Afterward, Thayer said the two have been talking about the possibility of a honeymoon in Bermuda once Walker feels better.

21-year-old arrested for shooting at White House WASHINGTON (AP) — A man with an apparent obsession with President Barack Obama has been arrested in Pennsylvania after the Secret Service discovered two bullets struck the White House while the president was away, authorities said Wednesday. One bullet smashed into a window of the living quarters of the executive mansion but was stopped by ballistic glass. The arrest of Oscar Ramiro OrtegaHernandez, 21, came days after reports of
shots fired on Friday night near the White House while Obama and his wife Michelle were on a trip to California and Hawaii. The president has since traveled on to Australia, second stop on a nine-day AsiaPacific tour, and the White House had no comment on the unfolding events. The U.S. Secret Service said it discovered Tuesday that the two bullets hit the White House. U.S. Park Police had earlier linked Ortega, a 21-year-old man from Idaho Falls, Idaho, to the reports of gunfire.
A U.S. Park Police crime bulletin issued before Ortega’s arrest said he is known to have mental health issues, adding “Ortega should be considered unstable with violent tendencies.” Authorities are investigating his mental health and say there are indications he believed his attack on the White House was part of a personal mission from God, according to a law enforcement official. There are also indications the man had see WHITE HOUSE page 11
CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Signaling a determination to counter a rising China, President Barack Obama vowed Thursday to expand U.S. influence in the Asia-Pacific region and “project power and deter threats to peace” in that part of the world even as he reduces defense spending and winds down two wars. “The United States is a Pacific power, and we are here to stay,” he declared in a speech to the Australian Parliament, send-
ing an unmistakable message to Beijing. Obama’s bullish speech came several hours after announcing he would send military aircraft and up to 2,500 Marines to northern Australia for a training hub to help allies and protect American interests across Asia. He declared the U.S. is not afraid of China, by far the biggest and most powerful country in the region. China immediately questioned the U.S. move and said it deserved further scrutiny.
Emphasizing that a U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific region is a top priority of his administration, Obama stressed that any reductions in U.S. defense spending will not come at the expense of that goal. “Let there be no doubt: in the Asia Pacific in the 21st century, the United States of America is all in,” he said. For Obama, Asia represents both a security challenge and an economic opportusee OBAMA page 9

Police say they’ve no record of report filed by Penn State’s McQueary
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Penn State campus police and their counterparts in State College said Wednesday that they had no record of Mike McQueary reporting an alleged sexual assault by Jerry Sandusky on a 10-year-old boy in a campus shower. The details ran counter to McQueary’s
claims in an email to former teammates and made available to The Associated Press this week. McQueary, then a graduate assistant, wrote in the email that he had discussions with police about what he saw. In the email, McQueary did not specify which police department he spoke to.

Missouri mother charged with murdering toddler Courier for St. Paul’s School admits to stealing from mail to feed his scratch ticket habit CONCORD (AP) — A school courier who admitted stealing mail to get extra cash to feed his obsession with scratch lottery tickets was placed on probation Wednesday and ordered to pay back nearly $500. The federal judge told David Hammond, of Concord, that his gambling habit didn’t excuse his behavior and that his conduct undermined public confidence in the mail system. Hammond, who pleaded guilty in July to a felony charge of mail theft, came under suspicion after St. Paul’s School in Concord reported numerous complaints of missing mail to postal inspectors in August 2010. St. Paul’s is a boarding school with about 540 students in grades 9-12. Hammond was the logical suspect from the outset because he had daily and unsupervised possession of the mail, court documents said. The investigators on two dates in October 2010 put test mailings in the school’s postal box. The mailings were greeting cards with messages such as “Happy Birthday” handwritten on the envelope, suggesting the card might contain cash or gift cards. The test mailings were missing from the mail Hammond dropped at the school. On Feb. 4, the inspectors rigged a test mailing with marked cash and a transmitter and tailed Hammond’s car back to the school. When he entered the school to drop off the mail, the inspectors could tell the card with the transmitter was still in his car. They followed him when he drove to a trash bin and stopped him as he was discarding opened mail not addressed to him, including the test mailing with the transmitter, according to the plea agreement. When the inspectors searched him, they found the marked cash, the plea agreement said. Hammond cooperated from the outset. He told the inspectors he stole an average of 20 pieces of mail each week for three years, the court documents said. see LOTTERY page 12

AFFTON, Mo. (AP) — A suburban St. Louis woman who claimed her 13-month-old son had vanished from his crib was charged Wednesday with murdering him, after prosecutors say she admitted beating him because he wouldn’t stop crying. Shelby Dasher, 20, was arrested less than 16 hours after she reported her son, Tyler, was missing. People walking their dog found Tyler Dasher’s body on Tuesday near a cemetery about a mile from his home. St. Louis County prosecutor Bob McCulloch said Dasher admitted to police that she repeatedly hit her son because he was crying and “wouldn’t lay down, wouldn’t go back to sleep.” He said she also told police she disposed of her son’s body. “Raising children can be frustrating. There are a myriad of ways to handle that,” McCulloch said. “This isn’t one of them.” McCulloch revealed little else about the boy’s death, except to say it appeared he hadn’t been struck with objects or weapons. He declined to say when investigators believe the child died. Police said when Dasher called to report her son missing, she told them she overslept that morning and discovered him gone from his crib when she awoke. His body was found within about 100 feet of a busy road. Dasher was being held on $500,000 cash bond. The state’s electronic court system did not list an
attorney for her Wednesday afternoon, and a county jail worker declined to convey a request to Dasher seeking comment. Before the charges were announced, detectives and uniformed officers came and went Wednesday from the family’s small frame home, which is in a working class neighborhood. Yellow police tape surrounded the home, and a large Halloween pumpkin was on the front porch. A long, wide area near the cemetery also was cordoned off. A cluster of young adults nearby cried and hugged as they watched officers mill around the scene. It wasn’t clear if they were relatives of Tyler, and they declined interview requests. “It says to me it’s a pretty sick person,” St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch said. “Anybody that would take a child and leave a child in a wooded area in that condition needs to be dealt with severely by the criminal justice system.” Johnny Ellington, whose 24-year-old son, Joe Ellington, is Tyler’s father, said he knew little about the investigation beyond what had been reported in the news. He said his family had been questioned by police and that the family advised Joe not to talk to the media. Johnny Ellington, 65, said his son and Dasher were never married, and that his family saw Tyler frequently.
MANCHESTER (AP) — Police in Manchester, N.H., say some angry Facebook postings between two neighbors led to a confrontation and a burglary arrest. Police said a woman in a second-floor apartment had been in an ongoing dispute with her third-floor neighbor. Their Facebook postings apparently upset her neighbor’s family on Tuesday night. Police said the woman got several text messages
from the neighbor’s mother indicating her intention to confront her. The woman then heard loud, repetitive banging at the rear door to her apartment. It flung open and the locking mechanism fell to the floor. At the door was the neighbor’s brother, mother and his girlfriend. Police said the brother, identified as 26-year-old Bryan Nault of Danville, is accused of pushing the woman, who was holding a young child. He was arrested.

Meredith lawmakers discuss issues with constituents under roof of Wicwas Grange By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Schooling and budgeting were uppermost in the minds of the two dozen residents who gathered at the Wicwas Grange last night to question their elected representatives — State Senator Jeanie Forrester, State Representatives Bob Greemore and Colette Worsman and Belknap County Commissioner Steve Nedeau. All are Republicans. Mark Billings, who lost his bid for a seat on the Inter-Lakes School Board in March, pointed that the Obama Administration has enabled states to seek waivers from “No Child Left Behind,” the education reform introduced by the Bush Administration, which he said was the source of “dramatic cost increases” in the local school budget. Explaining that applications for waivers must be accompanied by a plan for improving schools, he asked lawmakers to urge the New Hampshire Department of Education (DOE) to apply for a waiver. In his opening remarks Greemore, who sits on the House Education Committee, said that “unfortunately” an effort to do away with the N.H. DOE failed because the department is required to manage the complex mix of federal mandates and funding born by school districts. “The federal education department creates all the problems for the state,” he said.
Billings, who was echoed by Steve Merrill, whose wife Lisa serves on the school board, told Greemore the waiver offered an opportunity to escape the impositions of No Child Left Behind and urged him to provide the DOE with the resources to make an application and prepare a plan. “We need to run with it,” Billings said. After wrestling with the issue, Greemore conceded “it hasn’t come up in our committee.” “I hear what you’re saying,” Forrester told Billings, but said that if the DOE needed funding to apply for waiver, “we don’t have the money. But, I get it,” she assured him, adding that she would raise the issue with the Senate Finance Committee and officials at the DOE. “Departments do not always do what the Legislature asks them to do,” Worsman remarked, explaining that generally legislative action was required and the deadline for introducing bills in January has passed. “Can we turn the temperature up a bit?” Billings asked, raising the issue of the so-called “rightto-work” bill, which carried the House and Senate, was vetoed by Governor John Lynch and has since awaited an override vote in the House. “With rightto-work legislation,” Billings said, “we could kick proverbial butt in creating high skilled, high paid technological jobs.

Greemore said that the Republican leadership in the House has not called for a vote to override the veto for want of the required two-thirds majority. He said that the leadership was 1o votes shy and that six of the 18 Republican representatives from Belknap County remained unwilling to vote to override. Don Ewing asked the lawmakers to explain how the budget affected the poor and disabled. Forrester said that the Senate Finance Committee assigned high priority to funding programs and services for the most vulnerable, especially the developmentally disabled, but acknowledged “we just couldn’t find all the funding, but we did what we could.” Likewise, Worsman, a member of the House Finance Committee, said “we did the best we could to help the most vulnerable.” Forrester expressd her disappointment with LRGHealthcare’s decision to close its physician practices to some 3,500 Medicaid patients, claiming that the measure was necessary to offset a reduction in reimbursement payments from the state and a tax on hospital revenues. She said that she met with officials of LRGH as well as with a physician who told her that “it won’t help our (LRGH) budget and it was being done for political reasons. There is a lot of political maneuvering,” she continued. see next page

Meredith lawyers agree Monti forms new Italian government with no politicians to direct $400,000 of their liability insurance coverage to Ponzi scheme bankruptcy trustee BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MANCHESTER — The two local attorneys who assisted a now defunct Meredith mortgage firm that was at the heart of a giant Ponzi scheme with many of their closings and trust documents, have agreed to settle their dispute with the trustees handling the bankruptcy. Attorneys Michael Gould and Michael Burke (Gould & Burke, PLLC) have agreed to give $400,000 of their $2-million liability insurance limit to the bankruptcy estate of CL& M that is being administered by bankruptcy trustee Steven Notinger. In a notice of a formal claim filed against the Gould & Burke in April of 2010, Notinger filed a claim for damages for legal malpractice against the law firm that allegedly assisted Scott Farah and Donald Dodge and their respective firms — Financial Resources Mortgage, Inc. and CL&M — in establishing hundreds of trusts and closing millions of dollars worth of mortgages used to effectively bilk hundreds of people from their life savings in what officials now know was a Ponzi scheme. Gould and Burke have stated they were unaware of what Farah and Dodge were doing despite the fact that their offices were physically located in the same 15 Northview Drive, Meredith building as the former offices of both FRM and CL&M. In addition, some of the victims of Farah and Dodge included Gould & Burke, PLLC in numerous civil actions filed mostly in Belknap County Superior Court shortly after FRM and CL&M collapsed in November of 2009. Judge Kathleen McGuire stayed the suits pending the results of any actions taken against Gould & Burke in U.S. Federal Bankruptcy Court, District of New Hampshire. Gould & Burke, PLLC are represented by Laconia attorney Phil McLaughlin, who has said the firm has “little in the way of assets and limited insurance coverage.” He said the claims against his clients far exceed any available insurance coverage. The balance of the $2-million policy limit, or $1.4 million, will be the subject of a mediation hearing among the rest of the litigants among the rest of the claimants in a mediation hearing scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, Dec 12 and 13 in Russ Hilliard’s Concord Office. from preceding page “It is unfortunate they (LRGH) chose to go down that road,” Forrester explained. “We had a limited amount of money and they lost.” Miller Lovett, a Meredith selectman, was not persuaded by the lawmakers’ defense of the budget. “What makes you think we have a spending problem and not a revenue problem?” he asked. Worsman said that the Legislature prepared sound revenue estimates, matched its appropriations to the revenue it projected to collect and adopted a balanced budget. “You haven’t answered my question,” Lovett replied. “What makes you think that level of revenue is adequate to run the state in a recession?” For example, he said the Medicaid program and highway construction were significantly underfunded. “What makes you think you can take a political philosophy and lay it on the state?”
ROME (AP) — Italian Premier Mario Monti formed a government of bankers, diplomats and business executives Wednesday, saying the absence of politicians in his Cabinet will spare political parties the “embarrassment” of taking the tough decisions needed to steer the country from financial disaster. The 68-year-old former European Union competition commissioner and his Cabinet were sworn in at a solemn ceremony at the presidential palace that formally ended Silvio Berlusconi’s 3 1/2-yearold government and the media mogul’s 17-year-long political dominance. Monti faces his first major hurdle Thursday when he presents his legislative agenda to parliament and subjects his government to a confidence vote in the Senate. The vote in the lower Chamber of Deputies is expected Friday. In another troubled European economy, Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos easily won a confi-
dence vote Wednesday for his new government, formed last week with politicians from the Socialists, the rival conservatives and a small right-wing party. He won 255-38 in the 300-member parliament. Papademos’ government, which is only expected to be in power until elections in February, was created to push through a 130 billion ($177 billion) new debt deal and get vital bailout funds immediately to fend off a catastrophic default. He must also oversee the implementation of a raft of austerity measures already passed, including increased taxes and the suspension of about 30,000 civil servants on partial pay. His government is also negotiating with banks about a plan to forgive half of Greece’s massive debt. In Rome, Monti refused to discuss what if any new austerity measures he might have in store to bring Italy out of its debt crisis, saying only that economic growth was a priority and that he would reveal details of his agenda in his parliament address Thursday.

What Newt knows (and Herman doesn’t) If you take a gander at Newt Gingrich’s Wikipedia page, in the personal section, you’ll see quite a pile of baggage. Most of us have some. He has more than most: three marriages, messy divorces, affairs, etc. But here’s the difference between Gingrich, the experienced politician, and the hopelessly inexperienced Herman Cain. Newt’s baggage is all packed up — which is what you’re supposed to do with your baggage before you take off on a presidential campaign, not in the middle of it. None of this is new. Newt’s first wife, Jackie Battley, was his high school geometry teacher. He was 19 when they married; she was seven years older. The marriage lasted 18 years, until Newt took up with Marianne Ginther, whom he married in 1981. Back in 1985, Battley told The Washington Post a story that has since become apocryphal: Newt and the children went to visit her in the hospital while she was recovering from surgery for ovarian cancer, and Newt wanted to discuss the divorce. Ouch. A little worse than Cain’s fondling? Except — nota bene — Gingrich cleaned that one up earlier this year. Not only did he dispute the account, but Jackie Gingrich Cushman, one of his two daughters from that marriage, wrote a column for Creators Syndicate (also my syndicate) titled “Setting the Record Straight” in which she insisted that it was not cancer at all, that her mother requested the divorce prior to the hospital stay, and that her father had taken them to the hospital to visit their mother and not to discuss the divorce. Are you listening, Herman Cain? We call this damage control. Today, both of the Gingrich daughters work with their dad. One runs Gingrich Communications, and the other is a conservative columnist and commentator who co-authored “5 Principles for a Successful Life” with her dad. There isn’t much about Ginther in Wikipedia, but another website notes that the couple lived apart for some years before he took up with his current wife, Callista Bisek, then a House staffer. Now this one is messy: There he was, heading the effort to impeach President Bill Clinton for his relationship with an intern while having his own affair with a congressional staffer 23 years his junior. What do you do? You give an interview before your campaign takes off, to a friendly reporter, effectively apologizing. Or as Newt told David Brody of the Christian Broadcasting Network earlier this year, “There’s no question at times in my life, partially driven by how passionately I felt about this country, that I worked
far too hard and things happened in my life that were not appropriate.” Now, I’m not sure how sleeping with a staffer relates to passion about this country, but the point is that Newt got it out there and did his mea culpa. He didn’t stonewall (Cain’s first response); he didn’t deny it all (Cain’s second response); he didn’t send out his lawyer to threaten his accusers (Cain’s third response). He put it out, apologized and turned it into old news. Callista, according to her bio, is a devout Catholic. A devout Catholic married to a guy who’s on his third marriage and has had two extramarital affairs? Yep. Turns out Newt converted to Catholicism in 2009: “Over the course of several years, I gradually became Catholic and then decided one day to accept the faith I had already come to embrace.” It was “catching a glimpse” of Pope Benedict during his 2008 visit to the United States that did it: “I was struck by the happiness and peacefulness he exuded. The joyful and radiating presence of the Holy Father was a moment of confirmation about the many things I had been thinking and experiencing for several years.” Since becoming a Catholic, he has developed a deeper appreciation of the role of faith in public life. Yes, once again, it was earlier this year that Newt said: “In America, religious belief is being challenged by a cultural elite trying to create a secularized America, in which God is driven out of public life.” You hear that, Iowa (where religious conservatives dominate)? Now that Gingrich is climbing in the polls, all of the marriages and the rest will recirculate in the political press. But unlike Cain’s baggage, Gingrich’s is old news packaged for public consumption and is therefore far less likely to derail his efforts. A cynic might say Gingrich has reassembled his life story with the same political skill set that he used to come up with the Contract with America back in 1994, which led to the Republican takeover of the House and his own election as Speaker. That’s probably true. But it takes precisely such a political skill set to be a successful presidential candidate. Sorry, Mr. Cain. 9-9-9 was never going to be enough. And about Libya...

LETTERS Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund in desperate need assistance To the editor, The Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund Committee has been working diligently since October 4th – striving to put into place a firm deadline for the timely return of application forms, and engaging couples, groups and individuals who stand ready to adopt. Family needs remain especially critical, and the Committee sees those firsthand. Our continuing sagging economy still looms as a serious culprit, robbing family members of employment opportunities and handicapping them even more with higher costs for everyday necessities. The picture is not pretty. Within the last few days as the Committee labored over more tabulations, a major crisis surfaced. This problem cannot be expressed by any descriptive adjective other than “dire”, for we need at least
50 more families to adopt or to assist in some other major way. That is an alarming number. Unfortunately, time works its daily thievery, snatching the relatively few remaining days before the Fund’s distribution date – December 15th. The committee, therefore, comes to you now with this heartfelt and urgent appeal for assistance — even more help than many of you are already giving. Hopefully you will not regard this appeal as an impossibility, but rather look upon it as a personal challenge and a selfless act of kindness. If any of you wish to respond to this appeal, you may call our new phone line (937-0301). Your calls will surely be gratefully received and accepted. Marjorie Lee Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund Committee
From environmental standpoint, what is an invasive species? To the editor, As a known conservationist who is involved with a number of different issues, and also as a retired U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, someone referred a student in Massachusetts to me to answer a number of questions for his report regarding invasive species. I certainly won’t get into all the questions asked and my responses to them, but thought it might be fun for readers to answer one of the questions that I thought was great and the one that precipitated a smile and some contemplation on my part. As stated, this is just a fun thing and I am not looking for responses at all, but just to give you, as it did me, some food for thought.
Before we get there, I want you to answer one question and for you to write down your response somewhere. The first question is “What constitutes an invasive species?” In the next installment, I will divulge my answer to that same question as I wrote it back to the student so you can compare views and see if we are in agreement. Then in the third installment, I will ask the question the student asked me that I considered to be great. Applying your criteria, what is your answer to his question? My final installment will be my answer to that question. Everett McLaughlin Gilford
Sanbornton tax rate is up 3.6%; don’t build new town offices To the editor, Just one more reason not to consider building a new Town Office in Sanbornton, estimated cost $700,000. I received my Sanbornton tax bill today and it looks like the tax rate has increased by
3.6-percent. It should be noted that the school rate and state rate decreased but the town rate increased. Ask your selectmen why? Bill Whalen Sanbornton
Much as God punished wayward Israelis, so it will happen here To the editor, The following is my belief on where we stand in America: First Kings in the Old Testament shows the disastrous effect of social evil upon the spiritual, as well as civil, life of a nation. In our arrogance we forgot God speaks to us from the past
Laugh if you dare! Deny if you will! Where we stand today is just the beginning. Much the same as God used others to punish the wayward Israeli for their actions, so it will happen here. This I know, as I have seen it in a vision/dream. Whatever, it’s coming. Donald C. Poirer

LETTERS On immunizations, follow your conscience, don’t be intimidated To the editor, In December of 1990, the FDA granted the Department of Defense a waiver from informed consent requirements of the Nuremberg Code and existing federal laws to use unapproved drugs and vaccines on soldiers involved in Operation Desert Shield. The basis of the waiver was “military expedience”. The Code lists 10 points. The first is: “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. This means that the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion”. Senate Doc. 103-900 verifies that many vets are ill. Gulf War veterans granted disability status is at 26-percent, higher than for any modern war. According to VA sources war related illnesses for Viet Nam vets is 9.6-percent and World War 2 is 8.6-percent and the Korean War is at 5-percent. Dr. Marice Hilleman has received many honors and awards during his career, including a lifetime achievement award from the World Health Organization. He was a member of the American Philosophical Society, American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the U.S. national Academy of Science and the institute of Medicine. He worked for Merks vaccine program. He is credited with developing more vaccines than any single person in the history of medicine. Dr. Hilleman has raised the awareness that monkey viruses may have contaminated vaccines. SV40, a cancercausing monkey virus had contaminated viruses since 1953. Since 1964 60 laboratory studies have been conducted. Dr. Michele Carbone found a virus (SV40) not seen in humans before. The virus was in 50-percent of lung tumors that were studied. SV40 infections have been found in those born after 1982. Dr. Kristine M. Severyn added her name to a 16 page report on Hepatitis B vaccines and testified to Congress of the ill effects of the vaccine. She cited the following fact: In 1994 a special committee of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences published a review of the vaccine. That there were 38 reports of Hepatitis B vaccines had caused chronic autoimmune and neurological diseases in children and adults. Since July 1990 there have been 17,497 causes of hospitalizations, injuries and death in America following Hepatitis B vaccines. According to the National Health Interview Survey conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics since 1957, a 31-percent of U.S. children today have chronic health problems. 18-percent require special health care. Respiratory allergies, asthma, and learning disabilities are
most common. Epidemiologist Dr. George Dick stated that many infectious diseases can be prevented without immunization by learning the natural history of the disease. Dr. Robert Mendelsohn, Associate Prof. of Preventive Medicine and Community Health, University of Illinois reported an outbreak of diphtheria showed that 14 of 23 carriers had been fully immunized. “Episodes like this shatter the argument that immunizations can be credited with eliminating diphtheria or any other childhood diseases. He stated that “over 40-percent of the population is not immunized against polio, so where is the polio?’ Measles swept the University of Alberta several years a go despite a 98-percent immunization rate. Whooping Cough outbreak a few years ago in Vermont, yet 80-percent had been immunized. Dr. H. Buttram internal medicine and J. Hoffman Ph.D Cell biologist researchers in the Dept. of Moleculor Biology at the University of Wyoming wrote “early child vaccination cannot help but have adverse effects on the immunologic system of a child, possibly leaving this system crippled in its ability to protect the child throughout life”. Medical Advisory Committee of Immune Deficiency Foundation wrote “ Most immune deficit cannot be diagnosed until a child is one year old”. By the time is one year old they have received a number of vaccines. Researcher John Martin M.D. Ph.D of the Center for Complex Infections Diseases in Rosemead, California and Howard Urnovitz Ph.D of the Chronic Illness Research Foundation at Berkeley, Calif. Discovered that viruses can invade cells and change our DNA. All vaccines contain millions of viruses. Dr. Urnovits testified to the Committee On Government and Oversight that “ the human body retains genetic memory of foreign substances it has been exposed to including vaccines. Each individual responds differently. And there is a limit before genetic damage is done”. Dr. A. D. Speransky a noted Russian specialist in neuro-pathology warns that post-vaccinal diseases might occur long after the operation has been forgotten. And raised his observation that “ it is conceivable that by these methods we may be crippling humanity.” Imagine the 102 year old women who had never been ill in her life, yet she smoked a pipe every day. Does that mean if we follow suit we will live to be 102? Not likely. Everyone needs to follow their own conscience and not be intimidated by others. Many of my relatives lived in their nineties and never had a shot. Some died young of pneumonia. I hope to live long enough to witness a change for the good in mankind Gene F. Danforth Danbury
Thank you for stopping traffic around Veterans Day ceremony
To the editor, Thank you to the City of Laconia and to the Laconia Police Department for closing off traffic for the Veterans Day service at the Laconia monu-
hear the speeches. It would be great to have the same set-up for the Memorial Day service. Thanks again. Alice J. Smith
Imagine candidate who calls for deep cuts in entitlements & defense To the editor, Politics has succumbed to paralysis. Neither party is interested in solutions. Neither party is interested in what’s best for the country. Who cares about the country there’s blood in the water and they need to devour the competition. Power first, party second, and everything else is collateral. This is problematic at the best of times; and that description does not seem to fit. Most of us feel the country is on the wrong track. The nation’s debt has been downgraded. Unemployment remains above 9-percent. Longterm unemployed make up the largest proportion of the jobless since records began. Our clout seems to be waning. It is shifting towards Asia. The world’s most consistently inventive and optimistic country is in trouble. None of this distress was inevitable. It is true the credit crunch was always going to cause a lot of suffering but it was avoidable. Rising inequality, unfunded pensions and bad schools are the product of ineffective leadership. Leadership too bent on believing their press clippings and lacking in vision and strength. Our problems are not new. Politics has offered no remedy. To make matters worse it is now adding to the angst. About 80-percent of us mistrust the government. The political system, like the economy, seems skewed. Some times it is hard to look in the mirror in the morning but things will not get better however unless we take a good long hard look and then get motivated and do something. All this year the deadlock between the donkeys and the elephants has meant that precious little serious legislation has been passed. The elephants to their credit made a budget proposal, a way forward. The donkeys torched the plan and counter proposed nothing. Now the lead donkey is braying that nothing is getting done on his ill conceived campaign device and the elephants have returned the favor. Well enough is too much. There are real and serious issues facing the nation and the do nothing alternative is not a good one. Few beside Washington insiders have gained from this stand-off. Both parties’ and the lead donkey’s approval ratings are abysmal. A large and growing minority of Americans abhors both parties and call themselves independents. On the most divisive economic argument, how to solve the budget mess, two in three of us back a combination of spending cuts and tax rises. But politics is being driven by extremists from both parties who reject any such compromise. The incumbent failed to embrace a long-term budget solution put forward by the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission. This is inexcusable because he appointed the commission and asked for their guidance. He did not run with their recommendations. Worse yet he
had none of his own. He knew or should have known we were in deep trouble. Inaction was and continues to be unconscionable. That is becoming the legacy of the administration. Since the bipartisan-contrived debt ceiling debacle this summer, he has dabbling in class war, promising his supporters that the budget can be solved by taxing “millionaires and billionaires”. He is wrong in asserting that the problem can be solved on the backs of the rich. Does he really think the most liquid and mobile portion of the population has to sit here and let him take everything they have? Hello, they have shoes and they will simply walk away. There’s nothing to stop them. Now who’s going to be left holding the bag? He is also trying to issue more executive orders, to bypass Congress. Maybe that’s okay in Washington. But I’m pretty sure the executive branch has responsibilities and the legislative branch has responsibilities. None of the branches of government is there to short circuit the system. It is called a system of checks and balances for a reason. The divisiveness is old news, but it is increasingly structural. As the battle for billions of campaign dollars heats up, neither side dares grant the other any level success. Doing so risks the ire of its donors by appearing to compromise. Gerrymandered districts mean that most congressmen fear their partisans in the primaries more than their opponents in the general election. Ever more divisive media feed the activists’ prejudices. The contest is reinforcing the gridlock. I have a dream: Imagine a presidential candidate who spelled out the need for deep cuts in spending on entitlements and defense. The candidate articulates the need to raise revenue by getting rid of deductions. Imagine a candidate who explained that the pain would be applied but a recovery is on the horizon and the pain need not be interminable. I have a dream of a candidate who would avoid class or culture wars; a candidate who would not be indebted to the political fundraising machines. One able to engage in discussion of school reform. Better still; imagine a new centrist block in Congress, which might give that candidate something to work with in 2013. I know it’s over the top. But I do have the dream. It is not entirely without hope. You can only win the White House by winning the disenfranchised middle. Hold your vote precious. Demand serious discussion of the issues. Give no one your vote that doesn’t represent your views. We need accountability. We need to know what they propose to do, what they believe it will accomplish and when it will accomplish it. Judge them on the content of their character. I have a dream. Marc Abear Meredith

LETTERS Total taxable income of all those making $10+M is just $375B
Let’s divide Laconia into 10 wards & have 1 state rep for every 2 wards
To the editor, Part Two. Populist calls like Obama now makes to tax the rich more have always been met with strong applause since the Mayflower arrived, women wore hoop skirts and men wore spats. Getting someone else to pay your bills always seems like a good idea to people. Big surprise. I call it the usual donkey shirking of individual responsibility. You can not legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the rich out of it and when 50-percent of this nation believes the other half will take care of them and the other half think that it does no good to work because it will be taken from them we are at the end of a nation. This is the Obama plan and it a FAILURE of leadership beyond description. America already has one of the most progressive tax codes in the entire world including a predatory corporate tax of 35-percent (also among the highest in the world) that harms growth, impairs job creation and entices our largest corporations to expand everyplace in the world but HERE. The top 1-percent pay 37-percent of all the income taxes collected. They represent 38-percent of all the consumer spending in America. 51-percent of Americans pay zero income taxes and are carried on the backs of the minority. The rich donate freely hundreds of billions of dollars annually to charity. It is IMPOSSIBLE to find any town in America where the rich have not contributed their good fortune. Entire hospitals, wings of hospitals, million dollar imaging devices, huge libraries, community centers, medical clinics have all been contributed and paid for by the one percent now facing an Obama incited lynch mob. Endless billions more offered in scholarships at countless colleges and universities across America. Entire colleges have been founded by the rich, including Stanford and many others. Apparently we need someone to blame to make us feel better and Wall Street and bankers are so readily available. It is much harder to put a face on government and when they screw up fingers go in every direction except Washington DC even though almost every economic debacle America endures emanates from failed political thinking initiated by butt covering
To the editor, As you may recall, the 2010 Census showed that the city has a markedly smaller population now than it did when the 2000 Census was taken. If the city had redistricted itself with wards of about the same size, then the city would have had five Wards, and only five City Councilors. However, the City Council “dragged its feet”, possibly to avoid eliminating one City Councilor. However what is left out is that the city has five representatives to the state Legislature who, because of a Constitutional change made in 2006, should now run from single member districts — districts based on wards. The requirement that representatives run from single member city districts is a recently passed Constitutional provision. There are approximately 230 municipalities in the state, and except for Laconia and another 4 or 5 locations, all the other locations have complied with this Constitutional requirement. With a vote in the state Legislature of about 350 representatives from locations that have complied with the redistricting requirements to about 50 representatives from non-complying locations, Laconia has essentially zero support in the state Legislature. When it comes to complying with the New Hampshire Constitution and a court order, the state Legislature has enormous power available to it. My recom-
or someone trying to remain in office. There are no weaker-willed human beings on earth or any group of people more easily tempted by fraud and scandal of every type than politicians. There is not a person in this country with an IQ above a hundred that honestly believes raising taxes on the 1-percent by what ever nominal amount is the comprehensive prescription to fix what ails this country. There is not enough money there to get even if we bankrupted the whole bunch of them. We need a full rewrite of the tax code, reaching a little deeper into the pockets of Tom Hanks and Barbra Walters, and we need to broaden the base to collect MORE from millions from MORE PEOPLE. We need to plug some loopholes but remember, one mans loophole is another mans paradise. The mortgage interest deduction is a LOOPHOLE to avoid tax. OH, you thought loop holes were just used by Exxon. We can not have a nation where more than 50-percent of our people are not stakeholders in economic tax policy. We need to wean ourselves off deficit spending no matter HOW MUCH it hurts. Stopping a spending binge or a cigarette habit are never easy. People say it hurts the less fortunate. True enough, but turning America into Greece wont hurt the poor it will kill them. The total taxable income generated by those making ten million or more in America is $375-billion. The taxable income of those making from 1 dollar to $100,000 is $2-trillion. The taxable income of those making making $100,000 to $200,000 is $1.3 trillion. Do you SEE the tax the rich more fallacy? The total taxable income pool of those earning $200,000 or less is almost 700-percent larger. The preponderance of taxable income in America is made at the bottom not the top. Sorry to bust your bubble. If despising and demonizing the the rich makes you feel better it is a character flaw. I love the rich, I encourage them to keep spending, keep donating and keep paying 37-percent of the income taxes and rather than spitting on them I am buying them energy drinks to keep them working 24 hours a day. Skewering the rich to satisfy some latent resentment or outright envy borders on pure insanity. Tony Boutin Gilford
Donations sought for Manchester homeless shelter for veterans To the editor, Another year has passed and we are again collecting for Liberty House, a homeless veteran shelter located at 75 W. Baker Street in Manchester. Bill Zarakotas is the program director for Liberty House and his phone number is 603-669-0761. As our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan come home, LH will be a place for those vets to go.Under the guidance of Bill, they well receive assistance with their veteran benefits, job training, medical care, clean clothes, food, a place to live. Due to our hard winters, our last day of collection for the winter will be December 17th. Liberty House is in need of all foods, winter clothes, boots, socks, coats, hats, gloves, underwear, long johns, backpacks, sleeping bags, tents, blan-
Also, if you would like to send a check, food gift card, Hannaford, Shaw’s, Market Basket and WalMart are closest to LH. For every dollar collected, they can buy $15 worth of food from the food pantry. We are also collecting Christmas cards (Christmas Vet) and Christmas gifts, which both can be dropped off at 47 Bell Street in N.Woodstock and we’ll deliver them with our collections. Liberty House receives no other help, except what they receive from folks like you, so thank you all — without you we could not do this. On behalf of our Veterans of Liberty House, we wish all of you the happiest of holidays and blessings to our troops coming home this holiday season. Thank you all. Roli & Nancy Leclerc
mendation would be that the Laconic City Councilors complete their part of the redistricting before the state Legislature meets on Wednesday, Nov. 30. What the City Council does is of course up to them, but one way they could solve the one man, one vote court decision, plus have single member districts for the five representatives from Laconia, and still keep the currently elected six city councilors is by increasing the number of City Wards from six to 10. With 10 wards, all of the current city councilors would still have their own seats on the council, plus the state will be able to group two wards together to make five districts one for each of the five representatives without any “gerrymandering” of the wards to come up with the Constitutionally desired five voting districts for the five representatives to the state Legislature. The Redistricting Committee in the state Legislature does not confide in me, but I have seen them meeting and I know that this is a problem they have no choice but to solve and solve very soon — with or without the cooperation of the Laconia City Council. My recommendation would be for the City Councilors to complete their part of the redistricting and notify the Legislature that they have done so, before the Legislature meets on November 30. Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia
Our government moving ever to the left is source of most problems To the editor, Another week and it’s become clear even to the highest hopes of Obama supporters that the full frontal embrace of the occupy crowd was a big mistake. This movement does not represent anything but the fringe of the fringe, as some had dubbed them. Lawless, violent, and dirty. Now people are beginning to die and for what? Because they are anti-capitalists, maybe just simply anarchists getting a thrill out of “sticking it to the man”. I’m sorry, they’re stupid either way. Capitalism has for two hundred plus years generated businesses, jobs, ever higher standards of living for all those in America willing to work and strive to improve their conditions and the conditions of their families. The problem with the occupy crowd is that they don’t want to do the work. They want to start at the top without having any skills or desire. Just take it away from those who have spent their lives, energy, and efforts, is the occupiers credo. Say. isn’t that called communism? Well at the very least it’s socialism and where has that ever worked? Not Russia, not China, not anywhere — so why are Democrats and liberals so enamored with some-
thing that has never worked. Seems to me the only thing they can gain from it is power. Power to rule over those they believe are inferior. Just a little historical note, every time these socialists have gained power it has always ended with genocides. Germany. Russia, China, Cambodia you name it. Is this really what Americans want? I don’t think so because in spite of blaming Wall Street, it’s our government moving ever to the left, decade after decade, strangling free enterprise, creating economic bubbles and spending trillions of borrowed dollars which has created most of our problems. Obama only wants to spend and doesn’t understand that we can’t spend ourselves into prosperity, it can only create another bubble which itself will eventually burst and we’ll be right back in the same situation we are now in.There is really only one choice and that is to cut spending and seriously address the debt problem. If the Democrats won’t, then voters must change the leadership in Washington next November. Steve Earle Hill
Rep. Kingsbury is correct, marriage shouldn’t be subject to any law To the editor, Representative Kingsbury’s letter published last week hit the nail on the head. Marriage is a religious, social, or entirely personal institution that should not be subject to any law. Some of that law is simply ludicrous, as for instance the anti-inbreeding
provisions in same sex marriage laws. Volumes of marriage law ought to be repealed. Incidentally, I am a bit uncomfortable with the idea of same sex marriage, but that is none of my business. Dick Campbell Gilford

LETTERS This is not GOP overreach; it is just who they’ve always been To the editor, It wasn’t a couple of months after the 2010 election before a serious case of buyer’s remorse spread across the land. It began in Wisconsin when Governor Scooter Walker began enacting an agenda that was never campaigned upon. The people were angered and they protested in the tens of thousands. Governor Kasich in Ohio can be charged with the same deceptions against the voters. Not once in his campaign, like Scooter in Wisconsin, did he say he would trash unions and worker rights. All over the nation, right wing leaders who had obviously signed on to the Koch Brothers’ corporate aristocracy and “ALEC” began their push. It isn’t a coincidence that attacks on workers, rights and social safety net policies began simultaneously throughout the nation where tea party extremists won. What kind of anti-democratic group attacks voting rights? Who would burn the social safety net only to replace it with a corporate one based in profit? Who? Right wingers and their pseudo-Christian factions. And hidden in their Trojan Horse’s so-called economic agenda was a war on women’s rights and the LGBT community. Planned Parenthood would be cut so corporations could get more tax cuts. In Missouri, GOP legislators were going to cut tax credits for the elderly, poor and disabled homeowners so they could give a tax break to a corporation. As of September of this year, those who look unfavorably upon the tea party has risen to 53-percent while favorability has dropped to 28-perecent; that’s 2-1 against. Other polls show even lower numbers (20-percent) but 28-percent reflects a huge drop and its still dropping. In fact, polls show the ideas of the Occupy Movement have twice the approval rating of the tea party. Corporate takeover of our government’s strikes a nerve in most of America. On the heels of Wisconsin and Ohio, Americans then saw that their Social Security and their Medicare was on the chopping block. The immediate backlash was amazing and Ryan’s bill is now dead. Workers in America didn’t cause the recession. Unions and public workers had nothing to do with it. The unregulated religion of avarice found in the financial markets’ gambling casinos created the whole mess. Playing with our nest-eggs and investments in their financial gambling schemes, they wrecked our economy. They cared nothing for workers, shutting plants and moving the jobs overseas, thus turning their backs on the nation who
made them great. So when Americans saw lawmakers willing to cut your Social Security benefits, smash your health care, and blame public workers in order to give more tax cuts to the people who destroyed the economy, anger swept through the sane population in this nation. The amusing part of this story is that all the while the tea party was plummeting due to their war against workers, voters, women’s choices and gay rights, people like Don Ewing, Tony Boutin, and Steve Earle were completely unaware of this reality. Like Speaker Boehner, they kept telling us “the American people spoke” in 2010 but forgot to add that when Americans SOON figured out the right wing agenda they loudly said NO. This year in Wisconsin, two union-busting GOP Senators were recalled and that put an end to Scooter’s union busting because there is still a GOP senator who opposes Walker’s union busting. In Ohio, more than a million signatures collected to repeal Kasich’s union busting law led to a total repudiation of his attack on public workers. The vote on Nov. 8 was 63-percent to 37-percent. OUCH! In Maine, the people repealed their governor’s attack on voting rights. Same day registration is again the law in Maine. What kind of people attack democracy? In Arizona, the first Senate president ever to be recalled lost his job. Russel Pearce’s anti-immigrant extremism was his downfall. In Mississippi, a major attack on the right of a women to choose was attacked. Religious extremists proposed a law that would have banned several forms of contraception outright. But surprise, surprise, a Bible Belt state had the audacity to see how crazy this law was and killed it 55 to 45-percent. In North Carolina, the Board of Education was returned to Democrats as they swept the GOP out. In the Kentucky governor’s race, a Democrat won by 19-percent. In Iowa, gay marriage will remain the law of the land because a Democrat was elected to the state Senate, giving them the majority. This week the recall of Wisconsin’s Governor Scott (Scooter!) will begin. On November 15th begins the 60 day period to collect signatures. I have a feeling Scooter Walker will be another enemy casualty if they find a good opponent in Wisconsin. Let nobody fool you; this has not been GOP overreach, its simply who they’ve always been and what they’ve always wanted. For the best in Progressive News in economics, the changing world, culture wars, and civil liberties, go to ALTERNET.ORG. Its time to stop the corporatists and the theocrats. James Veverka Tilton
OBAMA from page 2 nity. Speaking in broad geopolitical terms, the president asserted: “With most of the world’s nuclear powers and some half of humanity, Asia will largely define whether the century ahead will be marked by conflict or cooperation, needless suffering or human progress.” Virtually everything Obama is doing on his nine-day trip across the Asia-Pacific region has a Chinese sub-
is at once cooperative and marked by tensions over currency, human rights and military might. China’s military spending has increased threefold since the 1990s to about $160 billion last year, and its military recently tested a new stealth jet fighter and launched its first aircraft carrier. A congressional advisory panel on Wednesday urged the White House and Congress to look more closely at China’s military expansion see next page

LMS students premier ‘Mystery at Whimbowly Manor’ tonight Laconia Middle School students are staging three performances of “Mystery at Whimbowly Manor” this weekend in the school multipurpose room. The cast, seen above, was rehearsing on Wednesday after school. The curtain will rise on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for students, seniors and Laconia School District staff.
and pressed for a tougher stance against what it called anticompetitive Chinese trade policies.
Philippines to former enemy Vietnam, all of whom are anxious about growing Chinese power.
The expanded basing agreement with Australia is just one of several initiatives Obama has taken that is likely to set Beijing on edge at a tricky time. The U.S. is China’s second largest trading partner, and the economies are deeply intertwined. Chinese leaders don’t want the economy disrupted when global growth is shaky and they are preparing to transfer power to a new leadership next year.
China was immediately leery of the prospect of an expanded U.S. military presence in Australia. Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said there should be discussion as to whether the plan was in line with the common interests of the international community.
Over the weekend while playing host to Chinese President Hu Jintao and other Pacific rim leaders at a summit in Hawaii, Obama said the U.S. would join a new regional free trade group that so far has excluded China. That added an economic dimension to what some Chinese commentators have called a new U.S. containment policy that features reinvigorated defense ties with nations along China’s perimeter, from traditional allies Japan and the
Responding to questions at a news conference Wednesday with Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Obama sought to downplay tension between the world powers. “The notion that we fear China is mistaken,” he said. Obama avoided a confrontational tone with China in his speech to the Australian parliament, praising Beijing as a partner in reducing tensions on the Korean Peninsula and preventing proliferation.

Correction: Parking restrictions at 2 Lakeport locations still face committee scrutiny and City Council vote An article in the Wednesday, Nov. 16 edition of The Daily Sun mistakenly reported that the City Council had prohibited on-street parking on stretches of Belvedere Street, Mechanic Street and Manchester Street in Lakeport. In fact, after briefly discussing the
recommendations to restrict parking, the council referred them to its Public Works Committee, which will hold a public meeting on the proposals on Monday, November 28 at 6 p.m. in the council chamber at City Hall.
WHITE HOUSE from page 2 become obsessed with Obama and the White House, according to two officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing. Authorities said the bullets discovered Tuesday by the Secret Service have not been conclusively connected with the reports of gunfire near the White House on Friday night. On Friday, authorities found an abandoned
vehicle with an assault rifle inside. Ortega, 21, was arrested Wednesday afternoon at a hotel near Indiana, Pa., some 55 miles east of Pittsburgh, the Secret Service said. He was in Pennsylvania State Police custody. A tip from someone who saw and identified Ortega led to his arrest, Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie said. Ortega did not resist arrest, said Pennsylvania State Trooper Lt. Brad see next page

AMY from page one “She’s a real trooper,” said Randy Annis, a local realtor and Amy’s father. However, the years of treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which included chemotherapy nearly once every week since 2008, have failed to eradicate the cancer from her body. Annis said the next best hope for his daughter is to seek treatment at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, a center known for using experimental drugs. The years of treatment, though, have proven to be a financial hardship for Annis Colby and her family. Said her father, “The bills, the meds, she just couldn’t keep up with it.” To help Annis Colby’s continued fight, Annis and other supporters have organized a “Friends of Amy Fundraiser” for Sunday night at Patrick’s Pub & Eatery in Gilford. From 6 to 9 p.m., parties who mention to their server that they’re there to support Annis Colby will have half of their food bill donated
to help pay medical expenses. The evening will also feature a 50/50 drawing and a silent and live auction. Up for bid, among other items, will be rounds of golf, a set of golf irons and weekend stays at resorts. For Annis Colby, who played softball and volleyball while at Gilford High, the financial burden has been an unwelcome source of stress in an already difficult time, said her father. An account for donations has been set up at Laconia Savings Bank under the name “Friends of Amy.” Annis said he and his family have been heartened by “great support” from friends, family members and local businesses, including from one business which directly competes with Annis in the local real estate market. “Every little bit, every $100 helps,” said Annis. “This fundraiser has given her a lot of hope, she was really strapped.” — Adam Drapcho
LOTTERY from page 3 He told the inspectors he knew it was wrong, but he needed cash and couldn’t stop himself, the documents said. His lawyer, James Moir, stressed in court Wednesday that the only form of gambling Hammond engaged in was instant lottery tickets. Hammond is being treated for his obsession, Moir said. “He really needed this baseball bat to the head to
take charge of this,” Moir told the judge. Hammond declined to address the court before he was placed on probation for two years. He also was ordered to make $470 in restitution, an amount that represents the money that investigators could link to specific victims, Moir said. Moir said after court that Hammond’s conduct was driven solely by his obsession with scratch tickets. “There’s no drug or alcohol condition here,” Moir said.
from preceding page Shields. State troopers said Ortega had visited the hotel in recent days, and investigators believed he was back in the area Wednesday. The Secret Service passed out photographs, and a desk clerk recognized his picture and stalled him while notifying police. Ortega’s first court appearance is scheduled Thursday afternoon in Pittsburgh, according to the staff of U.S. Magistrate Judge Cynthia Reed Eddy. Ortega was reported missing Oct. 31 by his family. On Friday morning, he was stopped by police in the Washington suburb of Arlington, Va., while investigating a report of a suspicious person. Police took photos of him but didn’t have any reason to arrest him, Arlington police Lt. Joe Kantor said. A message left for Ortega’s mother Wednesday at an Idaho Falls restaurant where she works was not returned. Phone listings for family members in Idaho were disconnected. Ortega has an arrest record in three states but has not been linked to any radical organizations, U.S. Park Police have said. Police searched the Occupy D.C. encampment Monday after callers said they had seen a man matching Ortega’s description, but the search turned up nothing. Witnesses on Friday reported hearing shots and seeing two speeding vehicles on Constitution Avenue near the White House. Authorities said they found
an abandoned car, with the assault rifle inside, near the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge, which crosses the Potomac River to Virginia. The bullet that hit the White House window was stopped by ballistic glass. The Secret Service didn’t disclose the location of the second bullet, saying only that it “was found on the exterior of the White House.” Obama and the first lady had traveled without daughters Malia and Sasha on Friday to San Diego en route to Hawaii for a summit, prior to flying to Australia. The White House had no immediate comment on the shooting or on who may have been home at the time. On Wednesday, officials took photographs of a window on the executive mansion’s south face. The window is in front of the so-called Yellow Oval Room, according to the White House website. That room is in the middle of the family’s living quarters on the floor that includes the president’s bedroom and the Lincoln Bedroom. In 2010, there were a series of pre-dawn shootings at military buildings in the Washington area, including the Pentagon and the National Museum of the Marine Corps. Police charged a Marine Corps reservist with those shootings earlier this year. The suspect, Yonathan Melaku of Alexandria, Va., remains in custody.

COURT from page one pending Blizzard’s privileges for three-years. “Under the circumstances,” interrupted Justice Carol Ann Conboy, “isn’t that reasonable? If her privileges were revoked for life, you might have a strong argument,” she said, reminding Moir that a life was lost. Justice Gary Hicks asked Moir if he was suggesting the commissioner has no authority to suspend boating privileges for a definite duration because the statute lacked specificity. “Yes,” Moir replied, claiming the law provided “no guidance” and “the department’s discretion is absolute.” He claimed that because of the vagueness of the statute, a person facing suspension proceedings could not prepare a defense. He noted that in 1986 the court ruled that a law authorizing the director of motor vehicles to suspend a driver’s license “for any cause which he may deem appropriate” unconstitutional. Representing the state, Assistant Attorney General Kevin O’Neill countered that “the statute is very clear,” and provides a number of specific grounds for suspension, including operating “ a power boat upon any waters of the state in a careless and negligent manner or so that the lives and safety of the public are endangered.”He insisted that the three-year suspension was reasonable.
“She didn’t hit a buoy, a boat or a barricade,” he said, “but an island and killed someone.” Conboy asked if the statute authorizes the commissioner to revoke boating privileges for life. “I’d say yes,” O’Neill replied. Conboy then asked how the defense could prepare in light of the commissioner’s unlimited discretion. O’Neill said that someone facing suspension could offer evidence of good character and mitigating circumstances and noted by choosing to challenge the statute Moir forfeited this defense. Hicks pointed out that the statute provided no standards or guidance as to the appropriate duration of suspensions while Conboy remarked that since the commissioner enjoyed unlimited discretion, the department had no motivation to develop such criteria. O’Neill said that the duration of a suspension could be challenged in court, but conceded that if the court found the three-year suspension “draconian” or the statute unconstitutional, the department would likely be moved to propose rules prescribing specific penalties for particular offenses. “The three-year revocation may be eminently reasonable,” said Conboy, “but I’m thinking of the next case.” It generally takes a matter of months for the court to issue a ruling.
LIBRARY VANS from page one “The priorities are what the individual libraries tell us they need and they have said the book vans are an absolute priority service,” York said. He said the program is made available electronically and if a person wants to read a certain book, then all he or she needs to do is go to their local library and if the book is not in the local inventory but is in another community library inventory, it can be electronically requested and transferred by the van. Gordon Nash librarian Linda Dowar of New Hampton said the van service is invaluable to the communities served by the library. A privately endowed library, people from any of the surrounding communities can use the GordonNash’s services and she said it is not uncommon to have 60 or more requests for books not held in her system to be requested through the state’s exchange program.
York said the program is beneficial to libraries of all sizes — not just the smaller ones in smaller communities. “We have a total available inventory of over 2-million books,” he said noting that the state’s four vans make a total of 22 van runs a week. Along with most other state government agencies, York said the N.H. State Library was forced to eliminate four full-time and two part-time jobs and did have to reduce the number of van runs to other libraries weekly. But as to the necessity of the inter-library program, York described it as one of the more valuable and necessary services provided by his department and more importantly, one that has the potential to touch every resident of New Hampshire. “Not too many programs can say that,” he said, adding in some way, shape or form, the inter-library program has been operating in New Hampshire since 1934.
PENN STATE from page one police report being filed in 2002” by McQueary in connection with the Sandusky case, university spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said, adding police searched their records Wednesday. The football building is on university property, so campus police would have been the most likely to respond for a police call. Mountz also noted the 23-page grand jury report was the state attorney general’s summary of tes-
timony, so it’s unclear what McQueary’s full testimony was. The news came after a new judge was assigned to handle the child sex abuse charges against Sandusky, whose televised defense earlier this week drew a rebuke from a lawyer for one of his accusers. The change removed a State College judge with ties to a charity founded by Sandusky for at-risk children, The Second Mile. see next page

TOWN OF GILMANTON The Town of Gilmanton is seeking volunteers to serve on the following committee:
Zoning Board – 1 full member - 3 alternate members Please send letters of interest to Tim Warren at PO Box 550, Gilmanton, NH or email twarren@gilmantonnh.org Below is a brief description of board functions and duties. The Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) is a land-use board that has the power to hear and decide appeals if an error of determination is alleged in the enforcement of the Gilmanton zoning ordinance by an administrative official. The ZBA hears request for variances from the terms of the zoning ordinance, which may only be granted when the 5 criteria established by the state are in evidence. In appropriate cases the ZBA may grant special exceptions to the zoning ordinance. The ZBA has 5 voting members and up to 4 alternates; all must be residents of the Town of Gilmanton. It meets once a month on the third Thursday of the month. A few days before the meeting, a packet of information is supplied for the members to review before the meeting. No discussion of cases is allowed by any member except during noticed meetings. Training provided by the OEP or LGC is recommended periodically.
from preceding page Harrisburg attorney Ben Andreozzi said he represents a client who will testify against Sandusky, who is accused of abusing eight boys, some on campus, over 15 years. “I am appalled by the fact that Mr. Sandusky has elected to re-victimize these young men at a time when they should be healing,” Andreozzi said in a statement released by his office. “He fully intends to testify that he was severely sexually assaulted by Mr. Sandusky.” Sandusky’s lawyer, Joe Amendola, appeared with him on NBC’s “Rock Center” on Monday night and cast doubt on the evidence in the case. “We anticipate we’re going to have at least several of those kids come forward and say, ‘This never happened. This is me. This is the allegation. It never occurred,’” Amendola said. Andreozzi said he has his “finger on the pulse” of the case and knows of no accusers changing their stories or refusing to testify. “To the contrary, others are actually coming forward, and I will have more information for you later this week,” Andreozzi said. Sandusky, 67, appeared on the show by phone and said he had showered with boys but never molested them. Sandusky is due in court on Dec. 7, and the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts announced that a Westmoreland County senior district judge would preside over his preliminary hearing. Robert E. Scott is taking over the hearing from Centre County District Judge Leslie Dutchcot. Dutchcot has donated money to The Second Mile, where authorities say Sandusky met his victims. The office said Scott has no known ties to Penn State or The Second Mile. Amendola defended the decision to have his client go on television, telling the Centre Daily Times on Wednesday the move was designed to demonstrate he had a defense.
“The more people who hear him explain that he didn’t commit the acts of which he’s been charged, the better off he’s going to be down the road,” Amendola told the newspaper. It remains unclear how many accusers have surfaced more than a week after state police and the attorney general’s office said at a news conference they were seeking additional potential victims and witnesses. State police spokeswoman Maria Finn said investigators have told her that published accounts reporting how many people have come forward are inaccurate and they are not disclosing their internal figures. Some plaintiffs’ lawyers are starting to advertise on their websites for potential Sandusky victims, vowing to get justice. Jeff Anderson, a St. Paul, Minn., attorney, has long represented clergy abuse victims and told The Associated Press that he has been retained by several people he described as Sandusky victims. “There’s a great deal of fury and confusion,” particularly because Sandusky is free on bail, Anderson said. “Getting (them) help and cooperating with law enforcement is our first priority.” The “time for reckoning,” in the form of civil lawsuits, will come later, Anderson said. Anderson declined to say whether his clients are among the eight boys who were labeled as victims in the grand jury report. Berks County lawyer Jay Abramowitch, who has represented about 150 child sex victims, many of them in clergy abuse cases, said he is following the Penn State case closely. He declined to say if he was representing anyone accusing Sandusky of abuse. “The real significance of what happened in the Sandusky situation is that people are beginning to understand the cover-up that goes on in any structural organization that employs a pedophile,” he see next page

Coldwell-Banker Poker Run nets $14k for local charities
LACONIA — The third annual “Putting Kids and Families First” poker run, organized by Coldwell-Banker Residential Brokerage Cares, raised more than $14,000 for five local and state-wide non-profit agencies. The donations were distributed yesterday during a celebration at the Coldwell-Banker office in Laconia. Mike Keeler, manager of the Laconia office, said the event has grown rapidly since it first began, both in terms of participation and monies raised. “It started with three guys in the office with motorcycles.” Those three came up with the idea of a motorcycle tour that would raise funds to help local people at risk of losing shelter. The first year, about 25 people took part and about $1,200 was raised. The event grew in its second year and continued the trend this year, raising $14,029 with more than 200 people participating in the July ride around Lake Winnipesuakee. Those totals reflect revenues from the poker run augmented by
contributions from Coldwell-Banker agents and employees. The proceeds were donated to the Salvation Army’s Carey House homeless shelter, the Chaplain’s Emergency Relief Fund, the Laconia Area Land Trust, the Moultonborough Food Pantry and New Beginnings. “We’re real proud as an organization to be able to give back to the community,” said Keeler. Representatives from the five beneficiaries expressed gratitude for the donations. Susan Lunt, director of the Carey House, noted that while most social service agencies are currently experiencing historic levels of community need, they are simultaneously struggling with curtailed support from state and federal sources. “We’re a little more dependent on the community to step forward and help. We’re all feeling the crunch,” she said. Referring to the poker run donation, she added, “This is greatly appreciated.” — Adam Drapcho
from preceding page said. “And that’s why these pedophiles are running wild.” “What’s the answer? One of the answers is to
allow these victims the right to go to court and file suit against not only the pedophile but the group that employed them ... and didn’t do anything,” Abramowitch said.

Lakes Region Planning Commission to hear speakers discuss regionalization NORTHFIELD — As economic challenges continue to confront local governments, their residents, and businesses, more communities are considering the pros and cons of sharing services (regionalizing). In recent years, communities around the state have been talking more often about finding ways to provide municipal services jointly, rather than going iy alone. There are many examples of shared services in New Hampshire, including the state’s first cooperative school district between the towns of Northfield and Tilton, established in 1923. These two towns also now share library services, recreation, and fire and water district services, among others. Commissioners from the Lakes Region Planning Commission will meet at 6 p.m. on Monday, November 21 at the Northfield Town Hall. The meeting will feature guest speakers from the New Hampshire Municipal Associa-
tion, the Suncook Valley Regional Town Association, and the towns of Barnstead and Northfield. Each speaker will offer a different perspective on regionalizing services, such as: (a) an update of two statewide community surveys on regional services; (b) an ongoing forum to share ideas and services among neighboring communities; (c) a current effort outsourcing local law enforcement, and (d) the glue needed to sustain shared services over a long time. LRPC commissioners will also be asked to accept the LRPC FY12 Annual Report. An association of 30 communities, the LRPC has active programs in land use and environmental planning, transportation, watershed preservation, economic development, mapping and technical assistance, and information services. All LRPC meetings are open to the public. For additional information or special accommodation, contact the LRPC: 279-8171 or lrpc@lakesrpc.org.

MetroCast supports local children in need with special toy campaign
LACONIA — MetroCast, the video, Internet and phone provider with offices in Belmont and Rochester and Springvale, Maine, will help make the holiday season brighter for area children in need through a special toys campaign. Starting his week and running through December 20, MetroCast will waive its standard installation fee for new video or video-Internet-phone customers who donate a new, unwrapped toy valued at $15 or more. MetroCast technicians will collect toys at the time of installation. The MetroCast offices on in Belmont, Rochester and Springvale also are drop-off location for the toys, which will be distributed to less fortunate children in the region. The campaign is being undertaken at a time of increasing economic distress for American families. The Census Bureau estimates that more
than 46 million Americans now live below the poverty line, the highest number since the bureau began publishing results 52 years ago. Children have been especially hard hit, as the Bureau estimates that 22% of children, or one of every five, now are in poverty. “The economic downturn has been hard on almost all Americans and it is keenly felt at this time of year,”said Moira Campbell, regional general manager for MetroCast. “Our hearts go out in a special way to children, because the eager anticipation they feel at this time of year is not tempered by the economic realities around them. Our hope is that this program will bring happiness to children who might otherwise do without.” For more information about the Toys campaign, contact (800) 952-1001 or visit www.MetroCast.com.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis so creative now that you’ll be turned off by any environment that seems restrictive or limiting. Your intellect will benefit from the places and people who draw you out mentally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You accept responsibility, but not pressure. The one who is pushy will get on your last nerve if you let her. Draw firm boundaries, and defend them in a courteous way. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your sign is noted for having unusual longevity, be it in love, work or simply existence. This is partly because you are magnetized toward making healthy, sustainable choices like the ones you make today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Change isn’t always easy, but sometimes it is. And today, you’ll absolutely thrive on it, making adjustments with grace. There’s no room for worry or doubt in your active mind. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be an advocate for someone who does not speak the language you are so fluent in. This could be an actual language or a style of communication that is common to a particular group of people to which you belong. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). The circumstances you encounter over the next seven weeks will boost your emotional life, and you’ll benefit from increased physical health and energy. Celebratory events decorate 2012, and the best of these will be impromptu happenings. You’ll heed financial wisdom and enjoy greater ease through December. Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 4, 14, 38 and 18.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will send a silent blessing on the wind. The person you send it to will be favorably changed by this intention, though he or she will probably never know it came from you -- or know about it at all, for that matter. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your imagination has healing power. Here’s a way to bring it out: Instead of dreaming of the future, dream of an alternate past, one in which you got what you needed and felt overjoyed about it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Put some fun on the day’s agenda. If there’s nothing exciting about your plans for the day, you won’t be inspired to complete even the easiest task on your list. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This is the kind of day you want to paint with bold strokes. Leave the detail work for later or for someone else. If you don’t finish a project quickly, it won’t get done. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People in business may be guarded when they first meet you. It’s nothing personal. They are mentally qualifying your potential as a customer. Once they get past that, they’ll be charmed by you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll wake up with a fair idea of how things are likely to progress, and that idea will be wrong. You love a good surprise now and then. Today’s twist in the plot will bring a thrill. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve been putting so much of you into your work that it may feel like you don’t know who you are outside of that context.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Nov. 17, the 321st day of 2011. There are 44 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 17, 1911, the African-American fraternity Omega Psi Phi was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. On this date: In 1558, Elizabeth I acceded to the English throne upon the death of Queen Mary. In 1800, Congress held its first session in Washington in the partially completed Capitol building. In 1869, the Suez Canal opened in Egypt. In 1934, Lyndon Baines Johnson married Claudia Alta Taylor, better known as Lady Bird, in San Antonio, Texas. In 1969, the first round of Strategic Arms Limitation Talks between the United States and the Soviet Union opened in Helsinki, Finland. In 1973, President Richard Nixon told Associated Press managing editors in Orlando, Fla.: “People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I’m not a crook.” In 1979, Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini ordered the release of 13 black and/or female American hostages being held at the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. In 1987, a federal jury in Denver convicted two neo-Nazis and acquitted two others of civil rights violations in the 1984 slaying of radio talk show host Alan Berg. One year ago: House Democrats elected Nancy Pelosi to remain as their leader despite massive party losses in midterm elections. Republicans voted to keep John Boehner as their top House leader, making him speaker in the new Congress. Today’s Birthdays: Rock musician Gerry McGee (The Ventures) is 74.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: A few years ago, my daughter was newly married and pregnant. Neither she nor her husband had a job, so both sets of parents took them in at various times and helped when the baby was born. My son-in-law went back to school and got a job, and they finally moved into a small house of their own. When my daughter decided to go to nursing school, we were delighted. Again, both sets of parents pitched in and took care of the baby. I also fed her family every day so they wouldn’t have to spend money they didn’t have. When she became pregnant again, we stepped back up to the plate and took care of their little newborn girl. My daughter now is an RN and makes great money. Her husband does decently, and they have a lot to be thankful for. When my daughter asked me to continue babysitting, I agreed, but only if I was paid. This really upset her, and she now won’t let me see the kids. Her sister-in-law looks after them for free, but only for a few hours a day. My daughter works nights and doesn’t get enough sleep in the daytime because she must attend to her children. Am I being selfish for wanting to be paid $400 a month for child care along with breakfast, lunch and dinner? -- Sad Grandma in Missouri Dear Grandma: This isn’t about fairness, because you are certainly entitled to be paid for your services. But you have changed the dynamic between you and your daughter. You’ve turned babysitting the grandchildren into a business transaction. Not only was your daughter caught off-guard, but she obviously resents it. If you need the money, talk to your daughter about what she thinks would be appropriate, and see if you can work this out. If you don’t need the money, we
suggest you babysit when you are willing, without charge. Dear Annie: What can you do when your husband’s driving is driving you nuts? Most of the time, he is OK, but the tailgating, speeding and unsafe lane changes make me nauseated, and the kids have thrown up more times than I can count. -- Not a NASCAR Fan Dear Not a Fan: We assume you have told your husband how frightened you are by his driving. Many men equate reckless driving with manliness, as if they have to prove something. Tell him it’s fine when he is in the car alone, but you would appreciate it if he would drive more conservatively when you and the children are with him. If he refuses, we recommend you drive yourself, get a ride from someone else, or take a bus, train or cab to your destination. He is placing his family at risk, and you do not need to indulge him. Dear Annie: “Wish There Was a Time Machine” said she missed her college days. Parents and students should not think of college as a four-year vacation from reality. The choice of school and major far outweigh the social advantages offered by college campuses. A college education is an investment in the student’s future that, like any investment, could result in a financial and career disaster if not evaluated objectively. If there is any doubt about the student’s readiness, it would be wise to enroll in a local junior college or regional state college campus. I suggest “Wish” re-enroll in a credible night school program and select a marketable major based on her likes, employability and chances of career success. The next time she starts feeling depressed and sorry for herself, she should go visit the children’s ICU ward at her local hospital. Volunteering there would give her a dramatic shift in attitude with a complete loss of depression. -- Crown Point, Ind.

In 2006, Laura took Laconia High School students to build along side Habitat in Jacksonville, Florida, and last spring she took students from Inter-Lakes High School to Denver, CO to work with the local Habitat affiliate. “I am excited to work with this amazing organization, whose mission is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from the world and to make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action” says Laura. “I look forward to helping organize blitz build projects and getting younger youth and adults involved in the mission of Habitat.” Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity is an non-
