Census finds city’s school-age population fell 14%

By Michael Kitch

LACONIA DAILY SUN

LaCoNIa, N.H.

LACONIA — The population of the city not only shrank but aged during the last decade, according to data released by the United States Census Bureau.

The population of Laconia decreased by 2.8-percent, from

16,411 to 15,591, between 2000 and 2010. Meanwhile, the median age of the population rose from 38.8 years to 43 years, an increase of 11-percent.

While the number of children five years old and younger rose slightly, from 869 to 878, the number of school age children, between five and nine-

teen, fell 14-percent, from 3,186 to 2,750. The steepest drop was among those aged five to nine, who shrank by 20-percent, from 1,054 to 842. The number of 10 to 14 year olds decreased 14-percent, from 1,048 to 904.

The population of working age decreased by only 0.9-percent. However, the 20 to 24 age

group shrank by 15-percent, from 1,057 to 897, the 25 to 34 age group by 12-percent, from 2,146 to 1,887, and the 35 to 44 age group by 20-percent, from 2,462 to 1,987. At the same time, the number of those aged 45 to 54 grew from 2,284 to 2,419, an increase of six-persee CENsus page 28

Cost of city-provided family heath insurance now tops $28k a year Employees paying only 3.8% of total premium so council will offer cash inventive for them to get off policy

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA —The City Council this week unanimously agreed to provide non-union municipal employees an annual payment of $3,200 for choosing not to enroll in the city’s health insurance program.

Paula Baumoel, director of personnel, said yesterday that in the past the city has not offered its employees any financial incentive to enroll in their spouse’s or parent’s health insurance plan. However, the Police Commission and Laconia Police Officers Association included a $1,000 payment

The commission has agreed to try and push that number up to $3,200.

Son says 84-year-old Paterno has treatable form of lung cancer

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Days after losing the job he held for nearly a half century, former Penn State coach Joe Paterno was diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer.

Scott Paterno, the Hall of Fame coach’s son, said in a statement provided Friday to The Associated Press that his father’s doctors are optimistic the 84-yearold Paterno will make a full recovery.

The news came shortly after Penn State said the NCAA would look into the school’s handling of a child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

Paterno was fired by the board of trustees Nov. 9 for failing to do more about an abuse allegation against Sandusky than report it to his superiors.

“Last weekend, my father was diagnosed with a treatable form of lung cancer during a follow-up visit for a bronchial illness,” Scott Paterno said in the brief statement. The doctor’s see PATERNO page 12

Move to require balanced federal budgets falls 23 votes shy of 2/3 majority required for House passage

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rejecting the idea Congress can’t control its spending impulses, the House turned back a Republican proposal Friday to amend the Constitution to dam the rising flood of federal red ink. Democrats — and a few GOP lawmakers — said damage from the balanced-budget mandate would outweigh any benefits.

The first House vote in 16 years on making federal deficits unconstitutional came as the separate bipartisan “supercommittee”

appeared to be sputtering in its attempt to find at least $1.2 trillion in deficit reductions to head off major automatic cuts. The lead Republican on that panel said members were “painfully, painfully aware” of its Wednesday deadline for action and would work through the weekend.

The House voted 261-165 in favor of the measure to require annual balanced budgets, but that was 23 short of the twothirds majority needed to advance a con-

stitutional amendment.

Democrats overwhelmingly opposed the proposal, arguing that such a requirement would force Congress to make devastating cuts to social programs.

Most Republicans favored the measure, but there were prominent exceptions.

Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the party’s point man on budgetary matters, agreed with GOP colsee HOUSE page 8

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Kurt Budke turned Oklahoma State’s women’s basketball team into a winner and hoped he’d found the place where he’d coach until he retired.

Miranda Serna had passed up opportunities to leave his side, staying loyal to the man whom she had helped to win a junior college national championship and then rebuild a big-time college program.

Having succeeded together, Budke and Serna died together — perishing in a plane

crash on a trip aimed at building their team’s future.

Budke, the head coach, and Serna, his assistant, were killed Thursday when the single-engine plane transporting them on a recruiting trip crashed in steep terrain in Arkansas, the university said Friday. The pilot, 82-year-old former Oklahoma state Sen. Olin Branstetter, and his 79-yearold wife, Paula, also died when the plane sputtered, spiraled out of control and nose-

dived into the Winona Wildlife Management Area near Perryville, about 45 miles west of Little Rock.

There were no survivors.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor Robert Wagner is not a suspect in the 30-year-old drowning of his actress wife, Natalie Wood, and there is nothing to indicate a crime, even though the investigation has been reopened, a sheriff’s detective said Friday.

“Her death was an accident, an accidental drowning,” said Sheriff’s Lt. John Corina.

Officials would not say why they were taking another look at the case, although the captain of the boat where the couple had

stayed blamed Wagner for Wood’s death.

There have always been questions about Wood’s death on Nov. 29, 1981, with renewed attention on the case as the anniversary neared. The case’s re-opening and see NATALIE page 28

Funds authorized to open Outsider Ron Paul seen as gaining traction in Iowa federal prison in Berlin CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s financially distressed North Country will soon get a jolt of new jobs and revenue when the newly-constructed federal prison in Berlin opens.

“It will have a huge impact,” said Mark Belanger, New Hampshire Employment Security manager in Berlin. “It will go a long way to help existing businesses that have been struggling to survive the recession.”

The 1,280-bed prison was completed last year at a cost of $276 million, but no money was allocated to operate it amid federal budget wrangling. Congress this week passed a spending package that includes $6.5 billion for the federal Bureau of Prisons. It earmarks some of that money to open three newlybuilt but vacant federal prisons, including the one in Berlin.

Belanger said the prison’s operation will create 320 jobs, with 40 percent of those filled by experienced Bureau of Prisons staff members who will relocate from other facilities. That leaves 60 percent, or 192 jobs, to be filled by people in the region.

“It’s going to create movement that we haven’t had in years,” Belanger said Friday. “You’ll have people coming in with good salaries who are going to be shopping at our local businesses and buying homes.”

Berlin Mayor Paul Grenier says he’s as excited about the infusion of new families moving to the area as he is about the new job opportunities for the region.

“It’s such a win-win for the Berlin and Gorham area it’s hard to quantify,” Grenier said. The ripple effects, he said, go beyond the influx of new jobs and new consumers.

“The prison will, by default, become the city’s largest water and sewer consumer,” Grenier said. “That’s see BERLIN page 4

Loudon speedway to open light park for holiday season

LOUDON (AP) — Cars will be crawling instead of speeding through the New Hampshire Motor Speedway this holiday season, when the racetrack is transformed into a one-mile, drive-through light park.

Starting Friday and ending Jan. 1, the speedway will be aglow with more than 1 million holiday lights to raise money for a charity that helps needy children throughout New England. The path starts at the main gate, winds through the outside of the grandstands and includes a stretch of the road course. At the end, the speedway office will serve as Santa’s Village, with hot cocoa and photos with Santa.

The cost is $15 per vehicle.

Already 40 below zero in Fairbanks

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) — Alaska’s secondlargest city is used to cold weather, but few residents expected record-breaking cold this early in the season.

Shawn Ross has lived in Fairbanks his entire life and says few people were prepared for this severe of a cold snap in mid-November.

The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that for the second time in three days, Fairbanks set a new low temperature record on Thursday. A temperature of 41 degrees below zero — the first 40 below temperature of the season — was recorded at Fairbanks International Airport at 6:29 a.m.

The National Weather Service in Fairbanks says that broke the old record of 39 below set in 1969.

The last time Fairbanks residents saw 40-below temperatures in November was in 1994.

ANAMOSA, Iowa (AP) — Texas Rep. Ron Paul is emerging as a significant factor in the Republican presidential race, especially in Iowa.

He’s been long dismissed by the GOP establishment, but the libertarian-leaning candidate is now turning heads beyond his hard-core followers — and rising in some polls — just weeks before the state holds the leadoff presidential caucuses and four years since his failed 2008 bid.

Paul’s sharp criticism of government spending and U.S. monetary policy hasn’t changed since then.

And while his isolationist brand of foreign policy may be a non-starter for some establishment Republicans, its appeal among independents is helping Paul

gain ground in a crowded Republican field. His boost is an indication of just how volatile the Republican presidential race is in this state and across the country.

“The good news is the country has changed in the last four years in a way I never would have believed,” Paul told about 80 Republicans and independents at the Pizza Ranch restaurant in this town on Friday. “In the last four years, something dramatic has happened.”

What has helped Paul rise here has been more methodic than dramatic.

His campaign here is a stark comparison to the shoestring, rag-tag operation of four years ago that attracted a narrow band of supporters. see RON PAUL page 12

Veteran Syracuse coach labels sex abuse charges as ‘patently false’ SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Syracuse assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine dismissed as “patently false” allegations that he molested two former ball boys for years, and the university chancellor vowed Friday to “do everything in our power to find the truth.”

The school immediately placed Fine on administrative leave “in light of the new allegations” that surfaced Thursday, just two weeks after the Penn State child sex-abuse scandal, and pending an investigation by the Syracuse City Police.

Fine, in his 35th season as an assistant on the Syracuse bench, asked for a quick review and expressed confidence he would be vindicated.

“Sadly, we live in an allegation-based society and an internet age where in a matter of minutes one’s lifelong reputation can be severely damaged,” Fine said in a statement released by one of his attorneys.

“I am confident that, as in the past, a review of these allegations will be discredited and restore my reputation. I hope the latest review of these allegations see SYRACUSE page 11

Former Luxair pilot building his own seaplane at Moultonborough Airport

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — If all goes well for Leon Pesche over the next several months, the summer of 2012 will see the first-ever flight of his own airplane, the Sea Lion, an experimental aircraft that he is building in a hangar at the Moultonborough Airport.

Yesterday he took the aircraft out on the runway for engine and fuel line testing, the second time that he’s done that this month, and videotaped the control panel during the testing session so that he’ll be able to go back and see how the instruments he’s installed are functioning.

“It’s a lot of work, thousands of hours over the last 12 years,” says Pesche, 69, who says that he fell in love with the futuristic style of the seaplane in 1994, while he was scouting out places in America where he could build a home and have a seaplane.

A pilot with Luxair, who eventually logged over 22,000 hours at the controls of the Luxembourg airline’s big passenger aircraft, Pesche has always wanted to own his own airplane and felt that the best place to do that would be in the United States.

As his retirement years neared Pesche planned to make his dream of building his own airplane come true. After searching in the Northeast, Colorado and northern California for a location he ended up buying a hangar and a plot of land next to Berry Pond in 1994.

“My wife does quilts and she saw something while we were in Boston about Keepsake Quilting in Center Harbor. We went there and were driving around afterwards when I saw an airplane without an engine parked near the runway at the Moultonborough Airport. I drove up and asked about it and

met Ted Trevor, who later sold me the hangar and land for a home,’’ says Pesche.

The next year he purchased the kit for the Seawind aircraft and had it shipped to Moultonbrough.

“The first thing I had to do was build a work area inside the hangar. That took two years because I was only able to work on it while I was on vacation, just a few weeks a year,’’ says Pesche, who is still a citizen of Luxembourg.

In 1998 Pesche and his wife, Jacky, built a log cabin style second home for themselves on Skyline Drive near the airport.

But it wasn’t until he retired several years later that he was able to spend anywhere near the amount of time needed to put his airplane together.

“Under the Experimental Aircraft Association rules you must do 51-percent of the work on the air-

plane to qualify as the builder. It takes thousands of hours to do that,’’ says Pesche.

He said that the Seawind aircraft has a 35-foot wingspan and is nearly 30 feet long and is a fourseater with a very spacious cabin and has the engine mounted on the tail behind the cockpit.

Only about 60 Seawinds have ever been built and they are designed to take a 300 horsepower Lycoming engine, which Pesche says leaves the plane under powered, especially at altitudes above 4,000 feet.

He decided to look for a different powerplant and in 1999 purchased a second-hand Pratt and Whitney PT6 turboprop engine with 550 horsepower at the Oskosh, Wisconsin Air Show.

“It weighs 100 pounds less, but has 250 more horsepower,’’ he says.

The propeller he chose has five blades and has a wood core with a composite outer surface and is rated as being able to handle 450 horsepower. He chose one with a slightly smaller diameter than originally recommended so that it would give more clearance over the fiberglass body.

“The airplane’s body flexes somewhat in flight. I didn’t want the prop hitting it,’’ he says.

In 2007 he was able to have a test run for the engine, which was strapped into place for the test, and says it ran fine.

During the course of his work on the airplane Pesche has had to come up with solutions to hundreds of technical issues and has made many changes from the original specifications in order to build a safer, stronger aircraft.

He devised a way to ensure that the front landing wheel is perfectly aligned before it retracts inside see next page

BERLIN from page 3 a huge asset for the city.”

Belanger said the starting annual salary for corrections officers at the prison is $38,619. After 10 years at the prison, with good evaluations, that salary surpasses $48,000, he said.

Because the federal system sets a mandatory retirement age of 57 for corrections officers, no one above age 37 will be hired for those positions, Belanger said. He said he gets frustrated by people over 37 who grumble the prison does nothing for them.

“They’re not seeing beyond their own noses,” Belanger said. “Stores have a chance to thrive. Nothing but good is going to come from this.”

Belanger said the unemployment rate in the Berlin-Gorham area is 7.2 percent, in contrast to the statewide average of 5 percent.

U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the Bureau of Prisons has told her the hiring process would begin within weeks. She called the delay in opening the prison “long and unnecessary.”

“The prison will provide a $40 million economic boost to a community that really needs it,” Shaheen said.

White Mountains Community College President Katharine Eneguess and Belanger continue to offer free, 10-hour workshops on how to fill out the federal job application and draw up resumes in preparation for the start of hiring. The application, Belanger said, is computer-grade in the first round and a qualified applicant can be eliminated if they don’t use proper terminology and other aspects the computer screens.

“It’s onerous at times, but it’s absolutely doable,” Eneguess said, of the application process.

Eneguess said some prison employees have already transferred to the area, and one enrolled her child in the college’s day care center.

“It’s going to have a huge economic impact,” Eneguess said. “If you just think of 300 employees coming and going when this prison is ramped up, that’s going to trickle into the local economy substantially — people buying or renting homes, stopping for gas, going out for breakfast, lunch and dinner.”

The prison is just one facet of Berlin’s economic revival. The long-idle Gorham Paper and Tissue mill is getting more orders, Grenier said. And ground was broken last month on a $275 million biomass power plant that is expected to create more than 300 construction jobs and 40 permanent jobs.

from preceding page the fuselage and an ingenious way to operate the rudder used to steer the aircraft when it is the water. And state of the art instrumentation is used throughout.

“You have to master every technical detail when you build your own airplane. The kit is just the starting point,’’ says Pesche But when the seaplane makes its

first flight, it won’t be Pesche at the controls. He’ll be turning that task over to a test pilot who has lots of experience with small aircraft.

“You always want to fly safely. But over the years you build up habits and almost automatic reactions that are difficult to get rid of. I want it to be flown initially by someone who has the experience of handling smaller aircraft,’’ he says.

COACHES from page 2 worse beyond words.”

The crash was the second major tragedy for the sports program in about a decade. In January 2001, 10 men affiliated with the university’s men’s basketball team died in a Colorado plane crash.

“When something like this happens and, God forbid it happened again, we have to pull together as a family.

We’ve got to try to do that,” Hargis said, as he broke down in tears.

After the 2001 crash, the university required that planes used by the school’s sports team undergo safety checks before travel. Hargis said coaches were not bound by the same rules and that the school left such decisions to their discretion.

Hargis called Budke “an exemplary leader and man of character,” and credited him with elevating the team in a tough program. Serna, he said, was “an up-and-coming coach and an outstanding role model” for the play-

ers. Former Assistant Coach Jim Littell will serve as interim head coach.

The team’s games scheduled for Saturday and Sunday were canceled The school’s women’s soccer team, which has lost only once all season, went forward with its NCAA tournament game Friday. The tragedy was addressed in a team meeting beforehand, and several players stopped by to sign a banner set up in the Gallagher-Iba Arena lobby in remembrance.

“It’s pretty hard just because it’s happened once before. OSU came together then and we can come together now,” defender Carson Michalowski said.

Perry County Sheriff Scott Montgomery said hunters called emergency officials about 4 p.m. Thursday after they heard the plane apparently in trouble, then saw it nosedive into a heavily wooded area.

“The plane was spitting and sputtering and then it spiraled and went nose first into the ground,” Montgomery said.

Can the occupiers grow & leave a real mark?

From Manhattan, to Nashville, to St. Louis, to Portland, Ore., to Oakland, Calif., the police this week moved in to clear out the Occupy Wall Street protesters from the various downtown plazas or squares where they’d established their peaceable camps. Mayor of Oakland, Jean Quan, had earlier acknowledged a conference call between 18 mayors across the U.S. discussing strategy, and the mode elected was clear enough. Get them out, by any means necessary.

These marching orders were taken most seriously in the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement in 1964, at Sproul Plaza, entryway into the University of California at Berkeley. Jack Weinberg’s arrest for soliciting money for the civil rights movement prompted FSMs birth.

He was put into a police car, but a spontaneous sit-down trapped it.

Eventually, the roof of the vehicle was used as a FSM platform.

A week ago, hundreds of students came out to Sproul Plaza to protest proposed fee hikes of 81-percent that would bring UC tuition from $13,000 to over $22,000. The students’ argument was simple: the banks caused the financial crisis, the financial crisis caused the budget crisis and therefore the banks, not the students, should pay for it. The students drew inspiration from the Occupy Movement and set up their own small encampment on the lawn outside Sproul Hall.

An eyewitness, Michael Levien, described what happened at around 9.30 p.m. this past Monday night: “A phalanx of police in riot gear turned the corner of Sproul Hall and rapidly charged, thrusting their batons with violent force into the crowd.

Chanting ‘non-violent protest’ and ‘stop beating students,’ student after student took fierce baton thrusts to their chests and limbs.

“Then the police started swinging, brutally beating people’s chests, arms, knees and backs. They were swinging to hurt. With the crowd behind and the police in front there was no way for people to leave, even if they wanted to. A few people tried to escape in the narrow gap between the students and police. They were savagely beaten. Throughout what can only be described as a terrifying physical attack that has left many with serious injuries, the students stayed entirely non-violent.”

In an e-mail to the campus, Chancellor Birgeneau, who often likes to reminisce about his Freedom Rider days, defended the administration’s response, saying that it was necessary to remove the encampment for “practical” considerations of “hygiene, safety, space and conflict issues.” He remarked: “It is unfortunate that some protesters chose to obstruct the police by linking arms and forming a human chain to pre-

vent the police from gaining access to the tents. This is not non-violent civil disobedience.”

So chapter one of the Occupy Movement draws to a close. Maybe the concerted onslaught by uniformed goons actually did the movement a favor — scant comfort to those battered to the ground — by leaving the occupiers with a positive bank balance, in terms of imagery, at the moment of their enforced departures. Some of the campsites were getting pretty funky, mustering spots for homeless people, older folk with perhaps less than idealistic motives and so forth.

What next? Thus far the OWS movement has mostly been evoked by its participants in terms of selfeducation and consciousness-raising about the nature of America’s political economy. There’s been a lot of talk about a brave new world being born. One fellow chided me for not writing more about the movement that he hailed as “the most militant upsurge from the Left since the Vietnam War, the most frontal assault on the worst features of capitalism since the Great Depression.”

This is a vast overstatement.

In terms of substantive achievements, OWS has a long way to go, which is scarcely a reason for reproof since it only began in September.

“The most frontal assault on the worst features of capitalism since the Great Depression?” Scarcely.

The early 1960s Civil Rights Movement prompted the Civil Rights Act and Medicare, the latter being effectively socialized medicine for the over-65s. Pushed by the popular movements, President Johnson and a Democratic Congress passed a flood of laws.

As the historian Alan Nasser recently pointed out on CounterPunch, “In less than four years, Congress enacted the Truth In Lending Act, the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, the National Gas Pipeline Safety Act, the Federal Hazardous Substances Act, the Flammable Fabrics Act, the federal Meat Inspection Act and the Child Protection Act. “Business-government relations had never before seen such an avalanche of legislation limiting the freedom of capital in the interests of working people. Between 1964 and 1968, Congress passed 226 of 252 worker-friendly bills into law. Federal funds transferred to the poor increased from $9.9-billion in 1960 to $30-billion in 1968. One million workers received job training from these bills and 2 million children were enrolled in pre-school Head Start programs by 1968.”

Resistance to the war in Indochina was fierce. In Vietnam, the troops mutinied. Units shot their see next page

LETTERS New addition has to do with LRGH carrying out it mission To the editor, Does it strike anyone odd that the Meredith GOP House reps and Senator Forrester held their supposed forum the night before the dedication of the renovated LRGH so that it would be front page news in The Citizen on that day, and that the main subject of discussion was cutback in care for Medicaid patients by physicians tied to LRGH? Their self-serving statements that the hospital imposed these cuts had nothing to do with the Legislature cutting Medicaid payments is the epitome of gall and most importantly not true. Further, saying an anonymous doctor connected to the hospital told Senator Forester it was wrong, is true political assassination. If indeed this anonymous person said such a thing and believes it, why not believe it enough to put a name with it.

Rep. Worsman brags that the Town of Meredith won’t build a needed Public Works facility because they don’t have the money. Good for Meredith, but what has that to do with LRGH. LRGH is not a city or government facility.

So, why did LRGH decide to do this project. First, this project was considered and planned for several years before they were able to secure the bonds and loans from the federal government. The need to do it was simple.

Medicine, like everything else in this century, has evolved and become more technical and the need for modern techniques and equipment are essential to good health care. One of the primary concerns in medicine today

is infection, and the fact that most of these infections are immune to the present antibiotics. That is another fight. But, one way to decrease the infection rate they found was to have private rooms for patients.

As a patient who has experienced infections after surgery, I can tell you that course of treatment I undertook a few years ago involved seven weeks of going to the hospital twice a day, with infusions every day of the week. Can you imagine the cost of this treatment.

Thank God for Medicare. So, cutting down costs to health care because of infections is a good thing.

Another benefit is for the comfort and faster recovery of the patient in surroundings that allow for privacy, quiet, resting when the patient wants to rest, and not having people trooping in to visit another patient in the room disturbing you while you may need sleep and the possibility of their bringing in germs. One of the great new features is that every room has its own shower. Again, where patients had to share one shower on a surgical floor, the danger of infection was present. Now each patient has its own and doesn’t have to traverse the hall to a single shower. Saving money will mean restoring services as the revenue becomes available.

The new addition has nothing to do with the cuts to Medicaid by our legislature. It has to do with LRGH carrying out their mission responsibly and with the best tools available. The patient’s recovery is their sole purpose.

This change was not about improvement, just about selling ads To the editor, MetroCast has certainly made a big mistake in instituting the change in its television “guide”. All of the hype was to make the guide better and easier to use. It did just the opposite.

The change caused chaos, as evidenced by the jammed phone lines trying to get help. No well organized instructions were presented in any format, and folks were just frustrated

and angry.

Shame on you, MetroCast, for “selling” this change in the name of improvement, when all that really happened was there are now annoying adds at the bottom of the guide.

It would be interesting to know if you actually end up making money on this fiasco.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 19, 2011 — Page 7

LETTERS ‘Thou shalt not oppress a stranger in thy land’ — Hebrew Bible To the editor, Bev Buker recently wrote a very compassionate letter appealing for help for the needy with heating oil during the upcoming winter season. It was a great letter. But, I am concerned about other letters she has written in the recent past that are not so charitable.

She has the right to express her opinions and The Sun has a right to print them. She does not, however, have the right to expect false allegations and innuendos to go unchallenged. Others have the right to point out that a great deal of what she writes is disturbing, hateful, and patently false. For example, Ms. Buker once declared that according to Census figures, “Caucasians” are no longer in the majority in the USA. A check of the Census Bureau’s website reveals that people who identify as “white only” still far outnumber any other group, including African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and others.

But, why would it even matter if the reverse were true? After all, we may be a nation (and planet) of many phenotypes, ethnicities, and combinations but at the DNA level, we are all 99.9-percent the same. Unless one is 100-percent Native American, our ancestors were all immigrants. Why should Ms. Buker be afraid if “white” people were outnumbered by “nonwhite” people?

In a more recent letter to the Sun, Ms. Buker complained about people running around in “funny clothes” from preceding page officers in the back or threw grenades into their tents. In 1971, the Pentagon counted 503,926 “incidents of desertion” since 1966 and reckoned that more than half of U.S. ground forces in Vietnam openly opposed the war.

During Christmas 1971, Vietnam Vets Against the War seized the Statue of Liberty for 48 hours and draped it with a banner demanding, “Bring our Brothers Home.”

On the home front, people fought the draft or simply fled it. Major American cities were torn by riots. The anti-war movement, coming on the heels of the Civil Rights Movement, transformed a generation. In the end, Congress simply denied Nixon the money for the war in Indochina.

To evoke those stormy times is to underline that American corporate capitalism is infinitely better protected than it was in the late 1960s, when America was at the peak of its economic power and those worker-friendly laws shot through Congress. Today, however, Moody’s warns the world that U.S. T-bills are a risky investment.

These days, corporate lobbies own the president, Congress and the regulatory agencies. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, the banks’ errand boy, lays down national economic policy.

He took over from Hank Paulson, another errand boy. If Obama is not re-elected in 2012, another one will be waiting in the wings.

In the 1930s, Roosevelt developed his New Deal program in part to head

who somehow threatened her Social Security benefits. Who were these people in “funny” clothes, Ms. Buker?

Were they some of our local U.N.-certified political refugees who are here LEGALLY after fleeing horrors most middle-class Americans cannot even imagine? And, how did these people threaten your Social Security? Perhaps you should take a little time to learn some facts about our local, legal immigrants. Your appeal for heating aid to others shows you are capable of great compassion.

Even more recently, Ms. Buker wrote that if one wanted assistance from the town, one should get a “non Englishspeaking person” to haggle for them.

What language do they speak? Since most Americans do not learn a foreign language, in what tongue does this “haggling” take place, Ms. Buker?

Ms. Buker has a right to express herself. Those of us who want to encourage tolerance and discourage and counter fear-mongering with the truth have the same right. Since Ms. Buker invoked God in her last letter I am assuming she is a person of faith and so I will remind her of the commandment from the Hebrew Bible: “Thou shalt not oppress a stranger in thy land.” It comes only shortly after the “Big Ten.” Again, though, we should thank Ms. Buker for her concern for those in need this holiday season.

E. Scott Cracraft Gilford off mass movements to his left. In the 1960s, Kennedy and Johnson similarly responded to the challenge of mass movements. Today, the OWSers have registered a presence and won considerable public support, which should not be surprising since America is in poor shape, the very rich unpopular and politicians despised. But, as yet, there is no sign of any political consequence deriving from this popularity.

Four years ago, a candidacy was gathering momentum, declaring that the time had come in America for a moral awakening, for a change in national consciousness, a rising above self-interest and partisanship. Young people rallied to the call. Obama swept into the White House and promptly stuck a “Business As Usual” sign on the door of the Oval Office.

In some ways, OWS can be seen as a re-run of the idealistic hopes of those Obama zealots of 2008, minus illusions about crusading candidacies.

But in the end, a political movement has to produce something tangible in the way of change and improvement in material conditions. Or at least, it should show that it’s working hard to evolve a strategy in that direction. The OWSers are resourceful and inventive. Let’s hope they come up with something soon.

Learning how facility manager was created is interesting reading To the editor, It is that time of year again. The towns and the schools are scrutinizing their budgets, deciding on what is a want versus a need. You would hope! It is also an interesting time of year to remember where you have been with past budgetary decisions and pay attention as you go forward.

I like the saying “Watch both hands”.

It has been an eye opening experience to review and see the monies that get transferred back and forth particularly within the Gilmanton School budget. This budget is the one that is responsible for 58-percent of your current tax rate.

It is also very interesting to see the inconsistencies with how our board walks their talk! You can get an idea simply reading through the minutes of the 2010-2011 school year. An example; at the meeting right after the School District approval of last year’s budget, the board discusses the funding of a new facility manager position. Early in January, 2011, prior to the Annual School Meeting, the School Board discussed this proposed new position, a facility manager, to be funded by grant monies. Board member Ella Jo Regan voiced concern about another administrative position being created within the budget. Other board members justify this position as a potential area to create “savings”.

At the April meeting, after the vote to approve the budget for 2011/2012, the superintendent asks to post the position of facility manager. Board member Frank Weeks suggests that the posting should wait until later in May. Phillip Eisenmann states that after pink slipping six teaching positions, hiring a facility manager sends the wrong message. Later in this same meeting Frank Weeks motions to post the facility manager position, it is seconded by Phillip Eisenmann.

The motion fails with only two members voting in favor — Michael Hatch

and Frank Weeks.

In May, the issue comes up again for discussion. This time Ella Jo Regan indicates “that she had spoken with several people in town and that three of them were in favor of having a custodial staff in-house but that no one wanted a facility manager hired over a teacher being laid off”. Later in that same meeting a vote is taken to post the position; Rene Kordas sounds confused over how she is voting when one reads the minutes – but in the end the motion passes with 3 in favor, 2 against.

Then not long after the posting, out of 30 applicants the two best candidates are reviewed and brought forward for consideration. Former School Board member, David Sykes is nominated by the Interview Committee — Donna Clairmont, Carol Locke, Deb Bergeron, Michael Hatch and Ella Jo Regan. The position is approved by a unanimous vote.

So just how does this position get rolled into the 2011/2012 budget and just what are the cost savings that we have and will realize? Does it include the new tractor with air conditioning? So far it looks like we have saved $500, but need an additional $5,000 to maintain the air duct system and that many other areas that have been poorly maintained have also been identified. But, alas, our building is much cleaner. One might wonder, could the regular janitorial staff completed this work with the proper supervision from the superintendent?

If you were astonished when you received your most recent tax bill, the time to get active and be counted is NOW! Go to these meetings, get involved, give public input. Oh you might even find that a bit difficult when you attend the selectmen’s meetings as the public input is now reduced to 15 minutes per meeting.

Who works for who?

Gilford’s tax rate is officially highest of towns around the big lake To the editor, Well the data is in and Gilford wins by a landslide for the highest tax rate for the towns surrounding Lake Winnipesaukee. It seems that no matter what happens, our elected officials at the Gilford town and School District just can’t seem to control the spending in the face of falling assessments.

The math is very simple. If the assessments are down and you keep the spending flat or INCREASE it the tax rate goes UP! Now people are forced to sell for LESS because no one wants to move to such a high tax town.

Thus the assessments continue to go DOWN, Gilford continues to SPEND and the tax rate follows UP and the whole mess starts all over again.

Gilford’s tax rate is now a whopping

$5.90 per $1,000 HIGHER than Meredith, a similarly sized town. It is now more than DOUBLE the waterfront towns of Moultonborough and Tuftonboro. Even Alton’s $13.07 and Center Harbor’s $10.96 is pale in comparison to Gilford at $18.55.

And how about 48-percent of the taxpayers in Gilford who can’t VOTE. They are being walked all over like a rug of money. They are selling cheap and heading to lower tax towns. Message to the Budget Committee, School Board and Selectmen: CUT THE SPENDING. Or your assessments will continue to drop and your tax rate will continue to skyrocket.

LETTERS Problem with Mr. Veverka’s advocacy is that it forgets reality To the editor, Dear James: The letter you had published in the Saturday Laconia Daily Sun slams Mr. Boutin and Fox News. The letter does not seem to recognize a difference between the two or to attribute specific ideas to one or the other. There seems to be a lack of clarity and precision in the thoughts in your presentation. Just for the record, I do not know and have never met with Mr. Boutin, Fox News or you Mr. Ververka.

The assertion was made that: “The present state of economic affairs is largely due to the Bush economic policies.” There is nothing in the letter that supports your assertion. Perhaps you could holster the blame thrower long enough to support your assertions or at least make it clear that you are expressing your opinion.

Your assertion that, “Unemployment, hunger, economic growth, bankruptcies, and foreclosures as they stand are part of our most recent plummet created by GOP economics. In September of 2008, CNN/Opinion Research Corporation Poll showed that by a 2 to 1 margin, Americans blame Bush for this economic mess.

In a more recent poll last summer by the Quinnipiac Poll, the 2 to 1 margin stands.

Clearly, Mr. Boutin spends too much of his time watching Fox.” is name calling… at best. All of the opinion polls in the world do not make it so.

It would be correct to state that George H.W. Bush took office with the national debt around $3-trillion. It would be correct to say he left office, after eight years, with the national debt at about $9-trillion. It would be correct to assert that he was president when the national debt tripled.

It would not be correct to lay the blame for all spending that occurred in that time period at his feet alone.

The president does not control spending. Congress controls spending. Who controlled the Congress?

Looking at the current situation from your perspective the responsibility for spending since the current administration took office would belong to the incumbent. That person has been in office less than three years and has already created as much debt as Bush did in eight years. By extension, if he were re-elected the national debt would be $25-trillion at the end of his term. GDP is $14-trillion. That would make us more indebted than Greece by the end of his second term.

Do you understand why that could be problematic?

You listed some occurrences from the great depression. What you have not understood is that at the time of the great depression there was little regulation of the banking system.

That is not true today. You do not seem to grasp that during the depression the country went through deflation.

We have not experienced that. Do you understand that there wasn’t even a prolonged recession according to the economists speaking for the administration? Can you start to see some differences? How many monopolies are there now? With less than 10-percent of the current administration coming from business backgrounds it is hard to grant credence to your analogy.

If the historical analogy holds water

then why, given that the donkeys controlled both houses of Congress and the White House for the first two years of this administration, is the incumbent doing so badly? Exactly how bankrupt does America have to be to make you happy?

You asserted that, “Tony Boutin tells us that the Obama stimulus was a failure, which is false. Most economists say about 2 to 3-million jobs were saved or created. The truth of the matter is that the stimulus should have been bigger and the reason why we are climbing out of this hole so slowly is because the stimulus was too small and the GOP is deliberately obstructing economic success.” That is a paragraph of belief without a scintilla of fact, evidence or analysis.

What is more factual is that the elephants blocked nothing in the first two years of the current administration. They may have wanted to but they simply did not have the votes. If anything did not pass in the first two years of the current administration it was because the donkeys could not get their act together to agree among themselves.

The record of unemployment shows clearly that unemployment was in the 7-percent range when the current administration took office. It is now in the range of 9-percent. Since we measure unemployment it means we are measuring those not working. So if unemployment is higher today than it was when the stimulus was passed how many jobs exactly were saved or created? The answer is that no jobs were created or saved because fewer people are working today than were working before the stimulus. Whether you or some group of unnamed economists believes the result is jobs were created or saved demonstrates only that believing something does not make it true.

It is difficult to follow the logic of you assertions. You have deeply held beliefs. The danger is that those who become overly zealous stop looking at the facts analytically and start looking for ways to support their core beliefs.

That can be detrimental. It does make a difference whether or not the facts actually do support our conclusions.

You blame the credit rating downgrade on the elephants. They are partly responsible. You are silent on the responsibility of the donkeys. They control the Senate and the White House; they should get at least an honorable mention. The problem with your advocacy is that it forgets reality.

You closed your advocacy piece with.

“A very important part of recovery, ‘raising revenues’ (with appropriate spending cuts), is an impossibility as long as the GOP controls the House and that is why our rating was lowered.” I support your right to be wrong.

While we agree that responsible behavior would advocate for additional revenues assuming responsible action were taken with respect to spending and debt reduction, casting the blame on the elephants and not recognizing the donkeys’ complicity is wrong. Both sides are doing whatever they think will keep them in power.

Gilford BudCom lacks consensus on buying new $441k truck for fire dept.

By Gail OBer

GILFORD — Budget Committee members wrestled for about an hour Thursday night before deciding to delay a decision on whether or not the Fire Department should replace its 26-year-old pumper truck.

Chief Steven Carrier, the Board of Fire Engineers, the Board of Selectmen and members of the Capital Improvement Committee had all agreed that 2012 would be the year to replace Engine 4 — with a new pumper.

Carrier solicited a bid from E-One for $441,820 and said if approved the engine/pumper would be ready for service in December of 2012. The recommendation was to pay for the truck by issuing 10-year-bonds with the first payment scheduled for 2013.

But that was before the October 10 Budget Committee meeting.

Members Kevin Leandro and Pat LaBonte — both with some experience in heavy equipment — challenged the need for a new tanker/pumper — requesting instead that Carrier bring them an estimate for refurbishing #4 rather than replacing it.

Carrier contacted Valley Fire Equipment who gave him a “rough” estimate of $131,245, which includes some cosmetic work, replacing regular lights with LED lights for visibility, rebuilding the pump and rewiring the entire truck.

Leandro and LaBonte said they inspected the truck themselves.

“There’s a lot of work here we don’t need, chief,” said Leandro, adding that

the pump could be rebuilt for $9,000 at most.

LaBonte stepped it up a little when he said in his opinion most of the problems with the 26-year old fire truck were a lack of routine maintenance – a statement Carrier and fleet supervisor Don DeCarli both said was untrue and unfair.

LaBonti said he believes the town often lets pieces of equipment get run down when they show up on the Capital Improvement or wish list.

Carrier explained that the truck had already been completely refurbished once and had a complete pump rebuild about five years ago. He also said there are no guarantees associated with a refurbishment.

“We have fire personnel on this truck. When we have an emergency we have people on both sides of it. During an emergency, this truck cannot fail,” Carrier said.

He also said the department deliberately cut its budget by about 3.5-percent in anticipation of needing a new engine/pumper in 2012 and a new ambulance in 2014.

“A 25-percent investment in a 26-year-old piece of equipment just doesn’t make sense,” Carrier said.

Representing the selectmen, Gus Benavides said his board went over the Fire Department budget very carefully and unanimously agreed replacing Engine 4 was “a huge part of what the fire department needs.”

Benavides said he would continue to support buying the new engine and would not likely support refurbishment.

HOUSE from page 2 leagues that “spending is the problem.” But he added that “this version of the balanced budget amendment makes it more likely taxes will be raised, government will grow and economic freedom will be diminished.”

Likewise, Rules Committee Chairman David Dreier, R-Calif., said lawmakers should be able to find common ground without changing the Constitution, and he expressed concern that lawsuits filed if Congress failed to balance the budget could result in courts making decisions on cutting spending or raising taxes.

In all, 235 Republicans and 25 Democrats voted for the amendment, four Republicans and 161 Democrats opposed it. The other two Republicans voting no were Justin Amash of Michigan and Louie Gohmert of Texas.

Later in the day, the top Republican on the deficit-reduction supercommittee indicated no deal was near but efforts would continue through

the last weekend before Wednesday’s deadline.

“We are painfully, painfully aware of the deadline that is staring us in the face,” said Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas. “When we have something more to report, we will report.”

With the national debt now topping $15 trillion and the deficit for the just-ended fiscal year passing $1 trillion, supporters of the constitutional amendment declared it the only way to stop out-of-control spending. The government now must borrow 36 cents for every dollar it spends.

“It is our last line of defense against Congress’ unending desire to overspend and overtax,” Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, said as the House debated the measure.

But Democratic leaders worked aggressively to defeat it, saying that such a requirement could force Consee next page

Legion Post 49 raising funds to erect granite monument to war vets near Cannon Bridge

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

NORTHFIELD — WhitemanDavidson American Legion Post 49 intends to commemorate the men and women of the armed forces of the United States who served in the seven wars overseas since the end of World War II with a carved granite monument at the base of the flagpole near the Cannon Bridge over the Winnipesaukee River.

Harold Harbour said yesterday that the footing for the monument has been poured and the stone designed.

Images of Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq will be carved in polished granite above an inscription that reads “in honor of the brave men and women who have served our country — past, present and future.” Harbour said that the stone is scheduled to be set on Memorial Day 2012.

Harbour, the former Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief, said that town officials in Tilton and Northfield have been approached about contributing to the project, which is projected to cost

$6,200, and have “taken it under consideration.” In the meantime, he said that the Legion is soliciting donations from the public. “Contributions in any amount will be greatly appreciated,” he said, adding that donations should be sent to American Legion Post 49, c/o Harold Harbour, 19 Hidden Lane, Northfield, NH 03276.

Harbour said that the monument will complement the bridge between the two towns, which is named for Brigadier General Andrew B. Cannon of Tilton, who flew more than four million air miles during a distinguished career that began with the United States Army Air Corps in in the Alaskan theater in 1941. In 1944, he commanded the Bengal Wing in the China-Burma-India Theater, which flew more than 37,000 missions over the Himalayas, or “the hump,” to China. more than 120 combat missions himself. After returning to civilian life for a spell, he returned to service in 1949 to take part in the Berlin Airlift and remained a high-ranking member of the Military Air Transport Service until his retirement.

Bush administration would not cut spending elsewhere to pay for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, major tax cuts and a Medicare prescription drug benefit.

The reason America’s credit rating was lowered and is going to be lowered again is that our leadership is demonstrating an unwillingness to meet it obligations, financial and otherwise.

Refusing to balance the budget is wrong. It damages the nation by limit-

You vilify Mr. Boutin while spewing the same kind of schlock from the other side of the aisle. Didn’t your mother ever tell you two wrongs don’t make a right?

Laconia High School’s N.H. Scholars and local business representatives packed the high school library Friday morning during the second meet and greet session held so local students can speak to business people about their potential career paths. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

LHS scholars given opportunity to interact with people from local business community

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — As far as Gunstock Mountain Resort Marketing and Sales Director Bill Quigley is concerned, he has the best job in the world.

“I get to make people smile,” Quigley said to three N.H. State Scholars who met with him at a gathering of area business people and students Friday morning in the Laconia High School library.

Quigley was but one of about 25 local community and business leaders who joined the high school students to give them a chance to ask about their jobs.

New Hampshire State Scholars are a group of students who commit in eighth grade to complete a rigorous course of high school education — one designed to give them a boost in their future careers.

And while many of the students aren’t quite convinced about what they will be when they reach adulthood, Friday’s business leaders gave them

some pointers on how to be successful and gave them insight to the particulars of their jobs.

Friday’s meeting was organized like speed dating, only with groups of students moving from one professional to another to ask him or her questions.

Each group of students had between five and six minutes with each professional.

Business leaders attending represented careers as different as bankers and investment brokers to physical therapists, nurses, public relations and police officers.

Keynote speaker this year was Mayor Michael Seymour — himself a Senior Vice President at Franklin Savings Bank.

He based his speech on the concept of the fishmongers in Seattle who have made buying fresh fish at the local wharfs a tourist attraction by incorporating four things into their day: Having fun at their see next page

Newt Gingrich now clear favorite with local Tea Party MOULTONBOROUGH — A straw poll of Lakes Region Tea Party activists attending a November 16 meeting here showed what a huge difference just a month can make in politics.

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich is now the favorite Republican presidential aspirant of 49-percent of those attending. Herman Cain topped the poll in October poll at 26-percent but his support has now fallen to $15-percent, the same level as Congressman Ron Paul of Texas. Former Mass. Governor Mitt Romney was the only other candidate in double figures, with 12-percent. Texas Governor

Rick Petty did not attract a single vote.

A handful of Tea Party members who were out of town and unable to attend the meeting were interested enough to vote by absentee ballot.

Among the guests attending the meeting was Matteau LeDuc, Gingrich’s New Hampshire communications director, who answered a number of questions.

The next regular meeting of the Lakes Region Tea Party will be held December 28, at 7 p.m., at the Moultonborough Public Library. The New Hampshire Primary will be conducted on January 8.

Texting while driving stop nets woman facing 2 drug sale charges LACONIA — A 25-year-old city woman is free on personal recognisance bail after being arrested for allegedly selling heroin and ecstasy at local businesses.

Police said Tarra Bruno, 25, of 58 Girard St. was pulled over on Elm Street when a patrol officer saw that she was texting (sending text messages via her cell phone) while driving.

During the traffic stop police realized

she was driving on a suspended license and also had an outstanding arrest warrant for allegedly selling heroin in July at the Laconia Spa. Bruno also faces one charge of selling MDMA or ecstasy in August at Vista Foods.

Bruno has a court date in Laconia on Dec. 22.

SYRACUSE from page 2 will be conducted expeditiously.”

Fine thanked Chancellor Nancy Cantor for her statement that “I should be accorded a fair opportunity to defend myself” and added: “I fully intend to do so. There should never be a rush to judgment when someone’s personal integrity and career are on the line.”

Cantor vowed that the school will not turn a blind eye to the allegations made by two stepbrothers to ESPN. “Let me be clear. We know that many question whether or not a university in today’s world can shine a harsh light on its athletics programs,” Cantor said in an email to students, faculty and staff. “We are aware that many wonder if university administrations are willing to turn a blind eye to wrongdoing that may disrupt a successful sports program. I can assure you I am not, and my fellow administrators from preceding page jobs, being there for other people, making some one’s day better, and bringing a good attitude to work.

Seymour encouraged the students to get involved and stay involved, telling them he ran for mayor when his family and collegues got tired of him complaining about things and told him to either be quiet or do something about it.

“So I ran for mayor,” he said with a laugh. “And I got re-elected.”

He encouraged them to join different clubs and

are not. We hold everyone in our community to high standards and we don’t tolerate illegal, abusive or unethical behavior — no matter who you are.”

She concluded: “At this time, all we really know is that a terrible tragedy is unfolding for both the accuser and the accused. I want you to know that we will do everything in our power to find the truth, and — if and when we do find it — to let you know what we have found.”

Both of Fine’s accusers are now adults. Bobby Davis, now 39, told ESPN that Fine molested him beginning in 1984 and that the sexual contact continued until he was around 27. A ball boy for six years, Davis told ESPN that the abuse occurred at Fine’s home, at Syracuse basketball facilities and on team road trips, including the 1987 Final Four, when the Orange lost to Indiana in the national championship game.

RON PAUL from page 3 This time, he has built an Iowa organization with the look of a more mainstream campaign.

He has raised more money, hired three times the staff and started organizing his campaign in Iowa earlier than before. Paul was the first candidate to begin airing television ads this fall, and has maintained the most consistent advertising schedule in Iowa.

“We have a more structured, methodical, traditional campaign with Ron Paul here in Iowa more often,” said Drew Ivers, an Iowa Republican Party central committee member and Paul’s Iowa campaign chairman.

Paul is better-known this time, and has spent almost twice as much time in Iowa at this point in the 2012 campaign than in his bid for the 2008 caucuses. Paul finished in fifth place, closely behind Arizona Sen. John McCain and former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson in Iowa in 2008.

The intense focus on Iowa this time may be working, with surveys showing Paul is reaching deeper into the caucus electorate.

A recent Bloomberg News poll showed him in close second place in Iowa, behind Herman Cain and narrowly ahead of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich.

The same poll showed more Iowa caucus-goers had been contacted by the Paul campaign than any of the other six GOP campaigns actively competing for the Jan. 3 caucuses.

Two weeks earlier, The Des Moines Register’s poll showed Paul in solid third place, behind Cain and Romney.

And Paul seems to have been able to sustain his support after finishing a close second in the Iowa GOP’s August straw poll, while straw poll winner Michele Bachmann, a Minnesota representative, has dipped in Iowa polls since.

But it’s unclear whether Paul can

cobble together broad enough support to win the caucuses with a plurality of the vote. At the very least, he will impact the results of the contest. But to what degree is anyone’s guess.

The one thing that hasn’t changed from four years ago is Paul’s style.

He remains the mild-mannered, professorial former obstetrician, delivering long explanations of the history of U.S. monetary and trade policy.

In Anamosa, the audience of more than 130 at the small town’s community center applauded when he said he would propose cutting $1 trillion from the federal deficit his first year in office, primarily by vastly reducing U.S. foreign aid.

But he also called for shrinking the military budget by reducing the U.S. military presence around the world, arguing that Congress and military contractors are too closely tied together.

“Yes, we have to have national security, but we don’t get it by bankrupting our country and being in everyone’s face constantly,” Paul said.

The sentiment rings true with Charles Betz, a 47-year-old network engineer from nearby Tama, Iowa.

He has typically been an independent voter, but is registered as a Republican so he can caucus for Paul on Jan. 3.

It’s Paul’s foreign and national security policy that has drawn fire from establishment Republicans. Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who is competing with Paul in Iowa for the outsider vote, has been vocally critical of Paul’s stance.

So has Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican who has been courted by most of the GOP candidates.

“I gave Paul credit for having the most ambitious plan to reduce the debt, which he does,” Branstad told The Associated Press. “But I don’t agree with him on foreign policy, at all. I’m real concerned with his views on that.”

PATERNO from page 2 doctor’s visit came the same weekend the school played its first game since the 1960s without Paterno leading the Nittany Lions — Penn State lost, 17-14 to Nebraska.

“As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment,” Scott Paterno said.

Earlier Friday, The Citizens Voice of Wilkes-Barre reported that Paterno had been seen Wednesday visiting the Mount Nittany Medical Center and

was treated for an undisclosed ailment and released.

Sandusky is charged with sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years — charges which he denies. Critics say Paterno should have done more to stop his former assistant, specifically when he was told about an assault in 2002. But the longtime coach is not a target of the ongoing investigation of Sandusky.

Paterno initially announced his retirement effective at the end of the season, saying that the scandal was see next page

Munsey & Brazil building on Church Street will be for sale after move

LACONIA — When an upward expansion is complete, the staff of Munsey & Brazil Insurance, long a fixture next to the Laconia Spa on Church Street, will move in with colleagues of Cross Insurance on Court Street. Construction workers are currently adding a second floor onto the Cross Insurance building.

Randy Eifert, branch manager of the Cross office, said he expects the work to be complete within a couple of months. Once the move is complete the building at 55 Church Street will be put up for sale.

Eifert explained that the Cross Insurance Group, which operates some 30 offices throughout New England, had previously acquired the Munsey & Brazil agency and the time seemed right to bring all employees together under one freshly-elevated roof.

Munsey & Brazil, Eifert noted, is known for being a leading insurer of local contractors, while Cross has done much of its business in personal insurance lines. “We figure we’ll combine forces,” Eifert said, adding that the combination will enhance each agency’s strength and provide better, more efficient service to clients.

No positions will be eliminated as a result of the move, according to Eifert. The same agents who had helped clients of either agency prior to the move will continue to do so as the offices are combined. Commercial lines will be handled on the second floor, personal insurance will be the domain of the first floor, each with room for further expansion.

The consolidation will see a total of 20 employees in the Cross building. The Munsey & Brazil name will continue to be used for a few months but will be phased out. All employees will ultimately operate under the Cross Insurance brand.

The building on Court Street was built about five years ago as the home of Hurt & Forbes Insurance.

In 2008, Cross acquired that agency as well as Wainwright Insurance. With the addition of Munsey & Brazil, said Eifert, “It’s basically three insurance agencies combined into one.”

from preceding page “one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.” The trustees fired him anyway, about 12 hours later.

Longtime defensive coordinator Tom Bradley replaced Paterno on an interim basis. He broke the news about Paterno’s cancer to the Nittany Lions after the team arrived in Columbus, Ohio, for Saturday’s game against Ohio State.

“I told them sometimes words pale at a time like this. I felt they should hear it from us, exactly what it was, that we were told that it was a treatable lung cancer,” Bradley said. “It’s just one of those things.

It’s a tough time for the players.”

Former Penn State quarterback Todd Blackledge, now an ESPN analyst, said Paterno never mentioned the illness when he visited his former coach Thursday in State College.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Sales on big lake still a bright spot for real estate market Halloween has come and gone and it didn’t scare off buyers looking to purchase waterfront homes on Lake Winnipesaukee. There were eleven sales at an average price of $1.17-million and a median price point of $950,000. That matches the eleven sales last October although the average sales price came in higher at $1.46-million. If there is a any bright spot or consistency in our current real estate market it would have to be waterfront sales on the big lake.

As usual, the least expensive sale (that’s the nice way to say cheapest) in October on Winnipesaukee is an island property. In fact, the three least expensive properties were on islands, but the property at 305 Bear Island in Meredith took the lowest priced honors selling for only $157,000 after 225 days on the market. This bank owned property was initially listed for $254,900 and subsequently reduced to $179,000. The town has the property assessed for just over $300,000. This one bedroom cottage has a huge screened porch plus a bunkhouse and sits on a .23 acre lot with 100 feet of frontage with some pretty good docking. The only problem was that part of the house and the bunkhouse are on the neighbors lot. A “slight encroachment” you might say. But I guess that is not as big of a problem as one might think. After all, this is NaHamsha ya’know and at

least the septic system was on the right lot.

Over at 37 Hanson Drive in Moultonborough, Scott Fuller Development built a nice 4,524-squarefoot Adirondack home proving that if you build the right home they will come. This quality home has three bedrooms including a first floor master suite, five baths, custom cherry cabinetry, granite, natural woodwork, great room, stone fireplaces, and family room. You know the drill. This home sits on only a .52 acre lot with 100 feet of water frontage proving that maybe less if more if that “less” is pretty good.

This property was offered at $1.75-million and sold for $1.69-million going under contract after 107 days on the market. It is nice to see a new construction on the lake move quickly.

The largest sale on Winnipesaukee was in Wolfeboro at 72 Parker Island Road. This modest 8,300-square-foot, eighteen room, six bedroom, eight bath home built in 1986 was completely rebuilt in 2002 with no expense spared.

I have to admit, it looks pretty nice, but one might be a little nervous about kicking back here or coming in with a bit of sand on your flip flops. But hey, to each his own.

There are magnificent views from most rooms in this impeccable home, first and second floor master suites, sauna, exercise rooms, and the open floor plan with a traditional feel lends itself to eloquent entertaining. You

know, kind of like Tony Bennett style versus Lynard Skynard, but all is good. The professionally landscaped 3.37-acre lot has 242-feet of frontage, a sandy beach, stone patios, breakwater, and docking. This home was listed at $4.195-million and sold for $3.8-million. The Town of Wolfeboro currently has this property assessed at $4.116 million.

There were two sales on Winnisquam last month but that doubled the amount in October last year. The largest sale was at 116-2 Gray Road in Sanbornton.

This really neat, custom built, 2,368-square-foot, two bedroom house has that true lake home feel. It kind of reminds me of a place Jimmy Buffett would like.

There’s plenty of knotty pine, hand forged lighting fixtures, a large custom kitchen with cherry cabinets, a Viking stove, and granite counters, two fireplaces, a master suite, and a year round porch to drink margaritas on. There is even a two bay carriage house with a bunk room above for any Parrott Heads that want to come and visit. The well landscaped .38 acre lot has 100-feet of frontage and a 40-foot dock, raft, and mooring. This property was originally offered at $649,000, reduced to $599,000, and went under contract at $569,000 after only 73 days on the market.

Once again, there were no waterfront homes sold on Squam. All I can hear is Don Gibson singing “Oh Lonesome Me…” Maybe we’ll get one next month?

Former Olympic ski jumper Walter Malmquist reviews Gunstock Preservation effort GILFORD — Bright, sunny skies and a fresh coating of snow on Gunstock’s four ski jumps created the perfect atmosphere for a recent visit to Gunstock by Walter Malmquist, a two-time Olympic ski jumper and Nordic Combined competitor. Malmquist met with members of the Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society to review their efforts to preserve the recreation area’s history as well as the historic jumps.

On hand to give the Olympian a tour were Carol Anderson, the society’s president, and Bernie Dion, who sits on the board of directors and is Malmquist’s former ski jumping coach. The two men had not seen each other in almost twenty years.

Dion began coaching Malmquist when the young athlete was just eight years old and was just learning how to jump. After learning to take flight from often intimidating jump structures, Malmquist embarked on his illustrious ski jumping career, which included competing in the 1976 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria and the 1980 Olympics held in Lake Placid, New York.

Not only did he compete in two Winter Olympics, but he graduated from Holderness School and then from Dartmouth, earning his MBA from the Tuck School of Business at the college.

Since then he has chalked up one success after

another. He is especially proud of his daughter, Tenley, who also attended Holderness School and now attends Harvard. Like her father before her, she is a gifted athlete and is a member of the school’s ski team.

He has also taken a special interest in the preservation society’s plans to restore the four ski jumps at Gunstock, a place where he often trained and competed. From a ski jumper’s point of view, he described the jumps by saying, “I remember training and jumping from these jumps when I was young, in the ‘60’s.

This facility is probably the finest in the country everything is right here in one place. There are great jumps for young jumpers to train on, and of course, the 70-meter is perfect for high-level competitions.”

The archives at Gunstock include photos of Malmquist’s perfect form as a jumper when he competed on the recreation area’s biggest jump while he readied for the 1980 Olympics. After reviewing everything contained in the archives, he deemed the collection a “goldmine”. He especially enjoyed viewing the rare, older photos of ski jumping at Gunstock and was impressed by the work done by the preservation society, as well as its accomplishments.

The dinner served prior to the auction consists of a 5-course meal. Each student was given one of the courses and will create a piece inspired by the ingredients. The LRCC students will present their piece prior to the prospective course being served, join guests for the dinner, be introduced to the patrons, and their “Artful Dining” artwork will be displayed.

Following the meal a live auction will commence with 100% of the proceeds going to the students.

“This will be a really fun event,” says LRCC Fine Arts Department Chair, Dr. Pat Wild. “It is a great opportunity for the College’s Fine Arts students to experience something unique and the dinner and auction is a wonderful connection to the larger community. I am sure that an exquisite dinner and marvelous evening will be had by all.”

Annual economic summit a ‘Declaration of Inspiration’

MEREDITH — Just as inspiration has led countless Granite State entrepreneurs to create products and services that are changing the world, the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development is hoping its annual gathering will spark the ideas that result in business formation.

“The Declaration of Inspiration” is the theme of the 16th Annual New Hampshire Economic Development Summit to be held at the Inns at Mill Falls on Tuesday, December 13 from 8:30 a.m.-2 p.m.

“Inspiration is what drives entrepreneurs to develop new ideas, attempt the impossible and stand tall in a highly competitive business environment,” said New Hampshire Division of Economic Development Interim Director Christopher Way. “It’s only fitting that we use our annual summit to recognize the great companies that are responsible for growing our economy while also opening the door for new prospective business owners to network with economic development practitioners and partner organizations.”

The keynote speaker for the event will be Burns Development Group Principal Linda Burns, a national site selector with over 30 years experience in corporate recruitment relocation and expansion strategies; economic development and workforce assessment, target marketing, government relations, and non-profit organizational planning. She brings public sector insight to her consulting due to her years of partnering with the Dallas-Fort Worth region’s cities and the state to market and recruit major companies to Texas, including the corporate headquarters of AT&T, Comerica, Research in Motion/Blackberry, and Blockbuster. Burns will dis-

LACONIA — Members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Laconia recently took part in a work day at a Habitat for Humanity project in Franklin, fulfilling a commitment made earlier this year when the church entered into covenant with Habitat for Humanity with a pledge to provide a number of hours of service to the organization.

Lakes Region Habitat for Humanity is an affiliate of Habitat for Humanity International and has been pro-

viding decent, affordable housing in the Lakes Region since 1982. Habitat has completed 30 homes in the area during that time. The current project is the rehab of a house in Franklin which will be their 31st home.

For more information, to donate or to get involved call 279-4820 or email info@lrhabitat.org.

The Unitarian Universalist Church is located at 172 Pleasant Street in Laconia. Sunday services begin at 10 a.m. and everyone is welcome.

MEREDITH — The Annie Forts “Up” Syndrome Fund has awarded scholarships to four high school graduates. Annie presented scholarships to Ariana Gunderson, Meredith; Mariah Kendrick, Wolfeboro; Michelle Corliss, Meredith; and Meaghan MacDonald, Center Conway.

Three graduate school scholarships were awarded to Kiley Gendron, New Durham; Alexa Davis, Gilmanton and Chelsey Rothermel, Silver Lake, N.H. Up Syndrome awarded a scholarship to enable a family with a down syndrome child to attend a retreat through Zebra Crossings of Dover, and a riding scholarship to enable a

down syndrome child to enjoy riding sessions at Up Reach Therapeutic Riding Center in Goffstown.

At a recent board meeting Hedi Bright, 2008 Leadership Series scholarship recipient, spoke eloquently about the advantages the Leadership Series afforded her, showing her how to not only advocate for her child but to care for herself, her family and other families and their children with disabllities.

Hedi is director of program relations, Summit Health, with locations in Belmont and Concord. She is a registered occupational therapist, master signing time instructor and Handwriting Without Tears instructor.

from preceding page For the third consecutive year, Scott Spradling of the Spradling Group (www.spradlinggroup.com) will be the guest emcee. As a special touch, Melissa Koerner of Friend Your Body (www.friendyourbody.com) will kick off the day by getting attendees’ blood circulating and sharing a few tips for transforming health while “on the go.” Entertainment will be provided by local musician Jim Tyrrell (www. jimtyrrell.net) whose third full-length album “Onward to Yesterday” was released in 2010. The Commissioner’s Awards for Economic Development Excellence will also be presented.

Admission to the 16th Annual New Hampshire Economic Development Summit is free due to the generos-

ity of event sponsor Public Service of New Hampshire. New Hampshire Business Review is the Summit’s media sponsor.

“Public Service of New Hampshire is once again happy to support this great conference which brings together businesses, economic developers and elected officials to help build our state’s economy,” said Public Service of New Hampshire Economic & Community Development Manager Pat McDermott. “All economic development starts with good ideas and I look forward to the networking, information sharing and exchange of views at this signature event.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Because you’re ready to receive and appreciate some goodness from a bountiful universe, you’ll receive prosperity from a source other than expected.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your interests are varied, which allows you to find a point of connection with nearly everyone you meet. You’ll glide through conversations and win the admiration of those who would like to be as outgoing as you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Show your enthusiasm, and you can’t go wrong. Better to be too effusive than too reserved. Most people would like to be more demonstrative but don’t know how. You’ll teach them with your confidence.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will know immediately what needs to be communicated in a given situation, but it’s best to pause and get the most positive and/or discreet phraseology. Your message may need to be softened.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19).

Your personal growth is accelerated by a close bond with a loved one. Your pace will quicken in career and social realms. You’ll gain valuable insight and make new friends at meet-ups and discussion groups. This summer, you’ll replace a vehicle and/or spruce up your home with up-to-the-moment touches.

Libra and Aquarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 39, 15 and 28.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Because you are solution-oriented, you’ll find opportunities. Getting to the bottom of problems and taking care of the details that will prevent future mishaps will be challenging and rewarding work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You do not nonchalantly accept responsibility. You realize that when you give your word, you’ll have to follow through in some way with your time, energy and attention. Those are precious commodities, so guard them well.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Emotions bottled up inside you take on an energy of their own. They want to be expressed. They might even arrange for a bit of havoc in your life to create a scenario in which they will finally be released.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You wanted motivation, and now you’ll get it, so see it in a positive light. The one who lights a fire under you is on your side, though it may not feel like that as the proverbial match strikes.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may not feel quite as filled with purpose as you did yesterday. Start spreading the word about what you wish would happen to you. You’ll meet the right people to teach you what you need to know.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be doing what you love to do. Perhaps you won’t be doing it for as long as you would like, but that will come in time.

Build on the moments of bliss, and they will get longer.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You recognize that there is more than one right way to make connections, and you’re in the mood to explore new approaches.

Your personal life gets interesting as you follow a friend’s lead.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 19, 2011

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 19, the 323rd day of 2011. There are 42 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address as he dedicated a national cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania.

On this date: In 1600, King Charles I of England was born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

In 1794, the United States and Britain signed Jay’s Treaty, which resolved some issues left over from the Revolutionary War. In 1831, the 20th president of the United States, James Garfield, was born in Orange Township, Ohio.

In 1919, the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles (vehr-SY’) by a vote of 55 in favor, 39 against, short of the two-thirds majority needed for ratification.

In 1942, during World War II, Russian forces launched their winter offensive against the Germans along the Don front.

In 1959, Ford Motor Co. announced it was halting production of the unpopular Edsel.

In 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean made the second manned landing on the moon.

In 1977, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat became the first Arab leader to visit Israel.

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev met for the first time as they began their summit in Geneva.

In 1990, the pop duo Milli Vanilli were stripped of their Grammy Award because other singers had lent their voices to the “Girl You Know It’s True” album.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, attending a NATO summit in Lisbon, Portugal, won an agreement to build a missile shield over Europe, a victory that risked further aggravating Russia.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am very concerned about the state of education, specifically as it relates to the elimination of services.

I am a high school counselor who is passionate about helping students and their families navigate through some of life’s most difficult obstacles, including drug and alcohol abuse, bullying, teen pregnancy, divorce, peer-pressure, self-esteem issues and academic struggles, to name a few.

Just as you often indicate in your column, sometimes school counselors are the only safe, reliable, resourceful adult with whom students can share their problems. However, in an attempt to save money, some schools are eliminating counselors, and the academic scheduling portion of our job is being delegated to clerical staff.

I am not blaming anyone. I understand the dilemma, but I am heartsick at the thought that students in need of emotional support are being abandoned. I admire our teachers and believe they make every effort to play a supporting role in the healthy development of our students. But with increased class sizes, that option of intervention and support is unrealistic.

It is my hope that this letter will help make our communities aware of the services available through their school counselors, as well as the need to keep these services intact. -- J. Dear J.: Budget cuts in nearly every state affect the public school system in ways that communities don’t always grasp until it’s too late. Kids today are faced with social and academic issues that their parents never contemplated. Often, school counselors are the only thing standing between our children and utter collapse. We hope this letter helps.

Dear Annie: My son and daughter-in-law live a few hours away, and I can’t get them to come and visit. We get to see my two grandsons only if we drive to their house, and yet they have no problem driving twice that far to see her parents and

spend the weekend with them. On the rare occasions when they come by, my daughter-in-law barely spends any time with us.

When they need a babysitter, I am expected to drop everything. Don’t get me wrong. I love spending time with the grandkids. But sometimes I get so frustrated at being taken advantage of that I want to say no. I have always been there for my son, but now it seems we only talk when they need something.

Am I selfish to want them to visit more, or should I just be happy that we get to see them every few months when they need a babysitter? -- Frustrated Grandma Dear Grandma: You aren’t being selfish, but sometimes there isn’t much you can do. The wives often run the social life of the family. Your daughter-in-law wants to be with her parents more than her in-laws, and your son has given up, doesn’t care enough to remedy the situation or agrees with her. If you want to see your son more often, you will need to make the greater effort, and it will help if you can chummy up to his wife.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Strong but Broken,” who wanted to confront the bully she knew in high school 40 years ago. Her therapist was probably right that the bully won’t remember.

I found out at my 20th class reunion that the bully in my life had no recollection of making one solid year of high school a living hell for me. What a waste of my energy to hate her for 20 years.

A friend told me to write down everything I’d ever wanted to say to her, read it, tear it up and bury the pieces in the backyard. I did that and then washed my hands of the dirt, as well as the entire experience. -- Feel Better Now

Page 28 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 19, 2011

NATALIE from page 2 a public call for information are the first hint that the official account may need revision.

Within hours of the announcement, Corina said, several people emerged offering their recollections of what happened in the waters off Southern California’s Santa Catalina Island.

But he quickly noted that nothing the agency has received so far has prompted it to change the view that there was no foul play.

The boat’s captain, Dennis Davern, said Friday on NBC’s “Today” show that he lied to investigators about events on the yacht Splendour when he was interviewed after Wood’s death.

Davern accused Wagner of having a fight with Wood before she went missing and delaying the search for her after she disappeared.

Wagner’s family released a statement through a spokesman that said they trusted detectives to evaluate any new information and determine whether it came from “a credible source or sources other than those simply trying to profit from the 30-year anniversary of her tragic death.”

It did not mention Davern by name, and noted that detectives hadn’t contacted Wagner or his family.

On the show, Davern mentioned a book he cowrote last year on Wood’s death, but refused to say precisely why he blamed Wagner for the three-time Oscar nominee’s death. Davern also denied that he was seeking to profit from interest in the case.

Vanity Fair and the television program “48 Hours Mystery” have teamed up and are including Wood’s case for a television special airing this weekend.

Corina said his agency would talk to Davern at some point and other witnesses would likely be interviewed. He downplayed the role Davern’s book or the anniversary would play on the investigation.

“We’re not concerned with the anniversary date,” Corina said. “It may have jarred some other people’s memories.”

Wood, who was 43 when she died, received three Academy Award nominations, for “Rebel Without a Cause,” ‘’Splendor in the Grass” and “Love with the Proper Stranger.” She appeared in numerous other Hollywood classics, including “West Side Story.”

Wood and Wagner were married twice, first in 1957 before divorcing six years later. They remarried in 1972. Her death during the Thanksgiving weekend in 1981 has long sparked tabloid specuMUST COME INSIDE! lation that foul play was involved.

Wood, Wagner and actor Christopher Walken and Davern spent time on Thanksgiving weekend 1981 both on Catalina Island and drinking on the Like A Blind Date..A Good Personality!!

argument between the two men, Wagner said. The last time Wagner saw his wife, she was fixing her hair at a bathroom vanity and she shut the door, he wrote.

Despite various theories about what led Wood to the water, which she feared, he said, it was impossible to know what happened.

“Nobody knows,” he wrote. “There are only two possibilities; either she was trying to get away from the argument, or she was trying to tie the dinghy.

But the bottom line is that nobody knows exactly what happened.”

Coroner’s officials said at the time that she was “possibly attempting to board the dinghy and had fallen into the water, striking her face.”

Wood was found wearing a flannel nightgown, socks and a red down jacket, and Davern identified CENSUS from page one cent, while those aged 55 to 64 jumped by 43-percent, from 1,579 to 2,252.

The population aged 65 and older increased by two-percent, from 2,828 to 2,881.

The aging of the population reflected itself in the changing composition of households. The number of households increased from 6,724 to 6,838. But, the number of family households, consisting of a head of household and at least one other person related by birth, marriage (excluding same-sex marriages) or adoption, decreased 2.5-percent. Family households diminished from 62-percent of all households in 2000 to 59-percent in 2010.

Households with at least one child younger than 18 decreased 13-percent, from 1,883 to 1,643 and their share of all households shrank from 28-percent to 24-percent. The number of households with individuals 65 and older rose 6-percent to acount for 29-percent of all households.

Households consisting of married couples decreased 8-percent while those consisting of a married couple with children under 18 shrank 24-percent, from 1,208 to 916 to represent 13-percent of all households.

her body for authorities, according to an autopsy report. Her body had superficial bruises, according to the report, but those were considered consistent with drowning.

Assistant Chief Coroner Ed Winter said the agency hadn’t been asked to do any additional investigation into Wood’s case.

Wagner, star of the television series “Hart to Hart,” wrote in his book that he blamed himself for his wife’s death.

“Did I blame myself? If I had been there, I could have done something,” he wrote. “But I wasn’t there.

I didn’t see her.”

INSURANCE from page one dependents enrolled in it. Altogether 82 employees are enrolled in the family plan, which now costs $28,436 year, with an employee contribution of $1,070 (3.8-percent). Another 38 employees are enrolled in the two-person plan at a cost of $20,756 a year, with an employee contribution of $781, while 30 employees take the single-person plan at $10,378, with an employee contribution of $390.

Baumoel said that because few employers in the Lakes Region offer more attractive health insurance packages than the city, she did not anticipate large numbers of employees would choose to opt out of the program.
