Residents want traffic light at Gilford Village; state says ‘no’ GILFORD — About 20 residents packed into last night’s selectman’s meeting to tell officials from the state Department of Transportation that they would really like to see a traffic light at the Gilford Village intersection on Rte. 11-A. The group sat patiently while DOT engineer William Oldenburg explained what the DOT can and will do to the intersection but during the comment period voiced their opinions. “I keep hearing lights will do it,” said one lady. “You don’t need to go to MIT to figure that out. The intersection between Route 11-A and Belknap Mountain and School House Hill Roads is, by DOT standards, one of the see GILFORD page 10

O’Brien & Leandro feud over fire truck expands in all sorts of directions Selectman accused of taking ‘creepy’interest in opponent’s property BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — What started as a difference in opinions between Selectman John O’Brien and Budget Committee member Kevin Leandro over the lease/purchase of a new fire truck has escalated into e-mail accusations of electioneering, charges of wasting town money and alleged invasions of privacy. According to Leandro, O’Brien took pictures of some dump trucks that were parked in the driveway of his home while O’Brien counterclaims that Leandro overreacted when he kidded Leandro by

writing in an e-mail that he would “warn him the next time he went on patrol.” “The whole thing started from an exchange we had in our e-mail,” O’Brien said yesterday. “We went back and forth and I was kidding him.” O’Brien said he drove by Leandro’s home on his way to Laconia at some point during the fire truck debate and saw two dump trucks in his driveway. He said because Leandro is only allowed one truck at home by zoning ordinance , he snapped a picture with his phone but said he later deleted it. In what remains an unsubstantiated see FEUD page 8

Jersey mom decapitates 2-year-old son
CAMDEN, N.J. (AP) — The 911 call from Chevonne Thomas was rambling and incoherent, but authorities said she made one thing clear: Her 2-year-old son had been stabbed, and “I did it.” What police found at her Camden rowhouse early Wednesday was even more horrifying. Thomas had decapitated her son and placed his head in the freezer. The 33-year-old mother later fatally stabbed herself after hanging up on emergency dispatchers, a violent end to a troubled life. Thomas only recently regained custody of son Zahree after allegedly leaving the boy unattended in a car, telling police she had smoked marijuana laced with the hallucinogenic drug PCP and blacked out in a nearby park. Distraught family members who arrived at the scene late Wednesday morning, shocked expressions on their faces, declined to comment. Some neighbors described strange behavior by Thomas, who had just moved to the street from elsewhere in the city. Others saw no evidence of problems. see MOM page 11

Congress warned recession ahead if budget stalemate persists WASHINGTON (AP) — A stalemate between Democrats and Republicans that ends up boosting taxes and slashing federal spending in January would likely thrust the nation into a 2013 recession and cost 2 million jobs by the end of that year, Congress’ top nonpartisan budget analyst warned Wednesday. The cautionary report by the Congressional Budget Office, drearier than a similar alarm it issued in May, immediately raised the political stakes in one of this election year’s signature conflicts between the two parties. Without an agreement between President Barack Obama and Congress by January, tax reductions on virtually all taxpayers are scheduled to expire and spending cuts will be imposed on hundreds
of popular domestic and defense programs. That would plunge the nation off a socalled “fiscal cliff,” which each side is eager to blame on the other. Together, the scheduled tax increases and spending cuts would total nearly $500 billion next year, the report said — a huge amount of activity to suck out of a $16 trillion economy that is already struggling. That would be the largest annual reduction in the federal deficit compared to the size of the economy in more than four decades, said Douglas Elmendorf, the budget office’s director. Doing that “would probably lead to a recession early next year,” Elmendorf told reporters. That scenario would cause the economy
to shrink by 0.5 percent in 2013 and push unemployment up to around 9 percent in the second half of next year, according to the report. Elmendorf said that would mean 2 million fewer jobs than if the tax cuts are renewed and the spending cuts averted. The prospect of triggering a recession added a new level of risk and complexity to this year’s high-profile political fights over sparking job creation and curbing mammoth federal deficits. Obama wants to renew expiring tax cuts but let rates rise on amounts exceeding $200,000 annually for individuals and $250,000 for couples. Republicans insist that all tax reductions be continued. The two sides are also stuck over how to head see RECESSION page 22
Romney & Ryan being pulled into abortion debate they don’t want RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan found themselves dragged into a debate Wednesday over hot-button social issues and answering for differences between their personal positions on abortion, just days before a national convention aimed at showing a unified Republican party. The discussion lingered while President Barack Obama and Romney tangled from afar over issues like education and the deficit. The GOP ticket dealt with a renewed focus on abortion in the wake of comments about “legitimate rape” from Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin, remarks that have caused an uproar and generated
demands from Romney and party leaders for the congressman to quit the race. The questions over abortion overshadowed events by Romney and Ryan in the battleground states of Iowa, North Carolina and Virginia — three states which Obama carried in 2008 — ahead of next week’s Republican convention in Tampa, Fla. Obama rallied supporters in Nevada, the state with the nation’s highest unemployment rate of 12 percent, before heading to New York for a basketball-themed fundraiser. Since selecting Ryan as his running mate, Romney has faced questions about how his policy positions differ from those Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com Friday (8/17) - Thursday (8/23)

On abortion, Romney does not oppose abortion in cases of rape and incest or if it will save the mother’s life, while Ryan does oppose abortion in cases of rape and incest. Ryan, in an interview with a Pennsylvania TV station, emphasized Romney’s role at the top of the ticket, saying he was proud of his record on the social issue. “I stand by my pro-life record in Congress. It’s something I’m proud of. But Mitt Romney is the top of the ticket and Mitt Romney will be president and he will set the policy of the see ABORTION page 12

The most dangerous man in the world? U.S. newspapers this fall will devote countless column inches and network TV will set aside endless hours to revisiting the most perilous month in the history of the republic, if not of the world. Nikita Khrushchev’s decision to secretly install nuclear-armed intermediate-range ballistic missiles in Cuba began to form in his mind sometime earlier, perhaps in April of 1961. Then it was that the new young U.S. President John F. Kennedy put a brigade of Cubans ashore to become the vanguard of a guerrilla army to overthrow Fidel Castro’s regime. The Bay of Pigs became a metaphor for feckless folly and failure. Khrushchev had ordered an army of tanks into Budapest to crush the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 and watched, astonished, as a U.S. president recoiled at using his power to expunge a Soviet base camp 90 miles from America’s shores. In June, Kennedy met Khrushchev in Vienna and was orally mauled. In August, Khrushchev tested Kennedy again, building a wall to sever East Berlin and seal off the Soviet sector. Berliners seeking to escape were shot. Kennedy ordered a one-year callup of the reserves. Moscow then broke a moratorium on atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons, exploding a 57-megaton monster bomb in the Arctic. By midOctober 1962, Soviet missiles were in Cuba. Their 1,500-mile target radius put Washington, D.C., in range. The Air Force chief of staff was Gen. Curtis LeMay, former head of Strategic Air Command, who boasted of his B-29 fleet in the Pacific war, “We torched and boiled and baked to death more people in Tokyo that night of March 9-10 than went up in vapor in Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.” LeMay wanted to bomb and invade Cuba, even after Khrushchev pulled his rockets out. When Mao Zedong denounced Khrushchev’s climb-down, calling America “a paper tiger,” Khrushchev is said to have reminded Mao, “This paper tiger has nuclear teeth.” Mao reportedly indicated a willingness to lose 300 million Chinese in a nuclear war if that war would finish off the United States. These were grave times and dangerous men. What prompts this recitation of what our world was like 50 years ago is the latest cover story in The Weekly Standard, “The Most Dangerous Man in the World.” The cover photo is of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s “man with a mission,” who is said to be seeking an atom bomb and who “loathes the United States more than Stalin, Mao, Tojo and Hitler combined.” If this “supreme leader gets nuclear weapons, it will be a miracle if he does not stupidly lead his country
into war.” Thrust of the 5,000-word article: Be afraid. Be very afraid of this man. But what exactly are we to fear? And what is the imperative for war now on Iran, for which this piece beats the drum? Khamenei has declared that nuclear weapons are immoral and Iran will never acquire them. Is Islamic Iran’s supreme religious leader lying through his teeth? Where is the proof? Where is the hard evidence? Sixteen U.S. intelligence agencies stated unanimously in 2007 and reaffirmed in 2011 their conviction that Iran does not have an active nuclear weapons program. In the Standard piece, John Sawyer, head of the British Intelligence Service MI-6, “flatly stated in July that we have two years left before the Iranians can build a weapon.” And if we should fear this most dangerous man in the world, why do not the Iraqis, Turks, Azerbaijanis and Pakistanis, his neighbors, seem to fear him? The Paks, with scores of nukes, seem less nervous about Iran than democratic India, with whom they have fought several wars. Before now it has been Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who was the incarnation of Hitler. But Ahmadinejad’s eight years in office are up next summer, and he is reportedly going back to teaching. For all his bellicosity, how many wars did Ahmadinejad fight? When was the last time Iran started any war? On Al-Quds Day, Wednesday, an annual event since the 1979 revolution, Khamenei reportedly said he was confidant “the fake Zionist (regime) will disappear from the landscape of geography.” Yes, and Nikita Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” and, “Your grandchildren will live under communism.” And we buried him, and his grandchildren saw the end to communism. The author of the “Most Dangerous Man,” Reuel Marc Gerecht, says that should Israel attack Iran, Iranians “will probably take their revenge through terrorism” or opt for “playing dead and railing against Israel in the court of world opinion.” Would Adolf Hitler or Hideki Tojo, pre-emptively attacked, respond with acts of reprisal untraceable to them, or denunciations of their attacker in the “court of world opinion,” or by playing possum? Our fathers crushed fascism in four years and outlasted for half a century the evil empires of Stalin and Mao that had murdered millions. And we should be fearful of an ayatollah? What happened to the America we grew up in, the America of Truman, Ike, JFK and Reagan?
LETTERS Gilford has extremist conservatives I won’t be associated with To the editor, It was very interesting to read about my rights relative to driving on the Gilford roads and taking pictures of public places as written by one of our citizens. Mr. Leandro’s letter to the editor was very cute — cute but misguided, void of legal concepts, silly, absurd, and another example of what the good selectmen of Gilford have to deal with all the time. It all started with Mr. Leandro spouting off all the already legally misguided rhetoric relative to the fire truck issue, including the presentation at the deliberative session. The court was very open about letting Mr. Leandro try to make his dragged out points about the problems with engine 4. The court then ruled totally against Mr. Leandro and it was another case of frivolous legal thoughts by an unlegal guy who thinks he’s a lawyer after reading the laws and RSA’s — without any legal background whatsoever. Additionally, in copies of e-mails formally requested by The Laconia Daily Sun, I indicated my concern about town money spent answering these unfounded “legal” opinions by Mr. Leandro. He replied that he funded his legal tirades but he did not take into account that the town has to spend funds from our legal budget to properly respond to these frivolous (as has been the case) attacks — as you can easily see on his pointed but absurd arguments. Now on to the mowing of his photogenic yard: Again, as you can see in my reply e-mails to Mr. Leandro, I was driving by one day when he had illegally, I understand, parked two of his gigantic dump trucks in his driveway. Remembering the ruling from our Planning Board relative to a home business, I took a picture on my phone of this situation but deleted the photos as I wasn’t going to report this activity due to all the fire truck silliness. In a discussion at the Town Hall, Mr. Leandro jumped all over me as I had some nerve taking pictures of his house. I was also accused of seeing a photo of him welding in his driveway, which I think is an illegal activity as well, but I replied that he was again misguided as I actually saw this
line is that I take a short cut to Laconia by his property and kidded him about “patrolling” Gilford. His reply was that I should resign as a selectman as I should not “patrol”. As I said in my reply — WOW!........ And here I thought driving on the streets of Gilford WAS legal and that as a selectman, I should keep my eyes open for illegal activities WAS my job...... You’ll also note another potentially legal concern of mine in his e-mails submitted to The Sun. As quoted by Mr. Leandro, “you may have noticed that my last e-mail was sent at 3:11 a.m., about five minutes after I arrived home this morning. I left for work at 3:30 yesterday morning so there may be the slight possibility that I was tired”. WOW — he appears to report to having a 24 hour day driving a gigantic dump truck that could knock down a building. Isn’t that federally illegal? It is my desired hope that all this craziness is not actually a disguised effort towards our competition as candidates for the N.H. House. If it is, it further identifies my reason for running as an independent (undeclared) candidate. I came to Gilford many years ago as, what I thought to be, a real conservative. What I found was extremist conservative efforts that I don’t want to be associated with. I have voted conservative all of my voting life but I think every situation should be considered from both sides. After much consideration, I want to make an informed decision on the facts not a party line. This is what I have done as a Gilford selectman and don’t see any reason to change if I am so fortunate to be elected to the N.H. House. Mr. Leandro incorrectly led me and the other selectmen into not supporting the replacement of engine 4. It has since broke down completely and is now totally out of service. Due to this effort and the silliness of his diatribes since, I could not vote for this man to take these opinions to the Statehouse. As a matter of fact, I could not vote for this man for a seat on the Budget Committee either. After a careful review of this information (I hope the e-mails will be available to all), would you.......? Selectman John T. O’Brien
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 23, 2012 — Page 5
LETTERS Meredith Center Rd. not that bad is you drive at reasonable speed To the editor, I’m writing about the story in Tuesday’s paper on the disrepair of Meredith Neck Road. This started off as a private e-mail to my friends on the Selectboard and my good friend in the town manager’s office, but then I realized that it would likely have interest to all of the taxpayers of Meredith and figured it belonged in the paper. I live at the very far end of Meredith Neck Road, and so my wife and I travel its full length back and forth pretty much every day. Probably nobody in town can say they are more familiar with or use the road more than us, yet except during a bad winter a couple of years ago when the frost heaves at one spot got out of hand, its condition has never been bad enough to have even compelled a dinner table discussion. And I have never heard a single one of my friends who live down here near us complain. I guess that is because the people who live down this way tend to be the type that are just not in a hurry, and we are more appreciative of keeping our hard earned pay for groceries. While it is certainly not in “good” shape by any stretch, at the reasonable speed we typically drive it has certainly never been bad enough to justify asking Meredith to take a whopping $7.5-million of the taxpayers’ money to repair, and then taking an unknown quantity of our money year after year thereafter to maintain a road we’d be forced to inherit. I’m sure that four miles of road under the town’s responsibility would also become an excuse to hire another employee and buy some more equipment. How much would that cost us? We are a tiny fraction of the taxpayers in this town and this is a tiny fraction of the road surface in this town and forcing people up off Rte. 104 or over on Jenness Hill to pay $50 more every year in taxes so that our road down here is smooth is not something I hear anyone down here saying they want to do. And while I’d make a huge fuss if I saw the town start to punish the people down here for this letter by completely ignoring the road, four miles of bumpy road to a dead
end, maintained the way it has been the last few years, that even the residents are not crying about, just does not seem to justify that many millions of dollars. Isn’t spending like this the reason our town, state, and country are in the predicament we are in? I’m sure that the cost of occasionally filling in a few potholes each year over the next century, or repairing a blown seal on a plow blade now and then would pale in comparison to that $7.5-million. And after a few years, we’d be back to filling in the new potholes anyway. But even more important to me is what the road would become after such repairs... a racetrack. While the cracks and potholes do make driving a bit bumpy, they always make me think back to growing up not too far from a very rich and much more bumpy road down in Massachusetts. You could not even ride a bike on that road, and I still have the scars from trying. But its wealthy and influential residents persistently lobbied the town to keep it from being repaved because it kept traffic speeds down and kept them safe. The wealthiest people in town happily lived on the worst road in town because they were smart enough to appreciate it. Beware the law of unintended consequences. Meredith Neck is crowded with wildlife, kids, and pets. And Meredith Neck Road, though very narrow, hilly, and winding, is often crowded with walkers, joggers, and bicyclists. While it is posted 40 MPH over its full length, it gets virtually no police surveillance, so even with the present road conditions there are places where the more impatient drivers will usually exceed 60 MPH. Imagine how fast they’d be going if the pavement was smooth? I’d hate to see us sacrifice our safety for a smoother ride, or to let a few weekenders get here faster. Those pot holes are our speed bumps and have surely saved a few people and animals over the years. Let’s not pay huge money to fix what ain’t really broke. Frank Marino Meredith Neck Road Meredith
I want my grandkids to compete in the America that I’ve known To the editor, So, Jon, are you suggesting that the Navy Seals who took out bin Laden were all Democrats? I would doubt it. “W” would not have taken credit. Unlike Hussein Obama, “W” honored and respected our military. Your guy, Barry Obama, can’t be too concerned about American jobs; he is making ILLEGALS ready for the work force. They are not Americans. . . getting American jobs! I don’t care about anybody’s tax returns. I never checked Obama’s, because his employment as a “community organizer”, a.k.a troublemaker, would not mean a thing to me. As a State Senator and U.S. Senator it appears that his job was to vote “present”, unless it was to protect partial birth abortion
or some pro-union legislation. The only maneuver to protect Obama and Biden in the debates is the biased screwballs from MSNBC and CNN. Jon, you wonder how I can vote Romney/Ryan? Do you have grandchildren? I do, 11 of them. Since I have been fortunate to be born and live my entire life in America, I want my grandchildren and their children to live and compete in the America that I and my children have known. Gee, you and others like you, provide material for my other projects. Not sure what you guys want. Is it to live off others? Do you feel you deserve a part of what those of us who work earn?

LETTERS I’m running as a Democrat to represent Meredith & Gilford in House To the editor, My name is Sandy Mucci and I am writing this letter to introduce myself to the voters of Meredith and Gilford as a candidate for the New Hampshire House of Representatives. As a lifelong resident of the Lakes Region I care deeply about the quality of life in our state and region. My husband of 40 years and I raised our daughters in Meredith and took advantage of the wonderful quality of life offered here. I want that high quality of life to continue for the generations to follow. Over the next two months, I will write letters addressing the issues which I believe are important in more detail. For now, I wanted to introduce myself as a candidate and share a bit about why I have chosen to run. One of the most interesting aspects of running for office is the enormous amounts of mail I receive from out-of state organizations. Some are for organizations I recognize asking me to complete a questionnaire so they can add my information to their web site. These are organizations most people would recognize which advocate for specific issues like gun ownership, environmental protection, education etc. However, I have also received
lots of mail from organizations I have never heard of claiming to be N.H. based. I say “claiming” because they invariably have an out-of state post mark or return address. Some of these organizations request that I “pledge” something that is important to them. Others have questionnaires which only allow answers that support a narrow ideological concept. I am deeply concerned about the tone and substance of our political conversations. The money that is being spent to influence opinion is creating a very unhealthy environment. I am choosing to ignore all mailings. If there is a group or organization which I am interested in hearing from I will contact them. I am running as a Democrat to represent the people in the towns of Meredith and Gilford. I believe the role of government is to utilize its resources responsibly by investing in those institutions and infrastructure which protect and enhance the quality of life for all. I am asking for your vote in November so that I can add my voice to the conversation about what is important. Sandy Mucci Meredith

To the editor, At the September 11th primary, I will cast my ballot for Jackie Cilley for governor. Her experience in the N.H. House and Senate, her strong business background and acumen, her commitment to N.H. values, and her willingness to consider all options for funding state services make her, in my opinion, the best qualified candidate to lead the state for the next two years. Three strong Democrats are running for governor. While gubernatorial candidate Bill Kennedy shares many of their views, he does not have the legislative experience of either Jackie Cilley or of Maggie Hassan who has also served in the state House and Senate. Cilley has distinguished herself
from Hassan by refusing to take “The Pledge,” a promise to veto any broad-based tax. At a recent forum in Sandwich, Cilley pointed out that she would consider and discuss any and all proposals for funding state services coming from the 424-member state legislature. Cilley has shown, at that forum and elsewhere, an impressive in-depth knowledge of the business and educational climate in the state. That knowledge, as well as her willingness to consider all options for paying for state services, indicates that she will be an outstanding governor. I hope that other Democrats and Independents join me in voting for Jackie Cilley on September 11th. Margaret Merritt Center Sandwich
Ray Burton doesn’t have the taxpayers’ back; vote Jerry Thibodeau To the editor, Overheard at a local parade recently; “Hey, isn’t that Ray Burton passing out combs?” “Yep, he must’ve gotten a good deal on them some years back. You know back when I actually had hair? He’s been doing that comb thing for years.” This got me to thinking about Jerry Thibodeau’s run for Ray’s seat on our Executive Council (EC). (BTW, Ray’s signs say “Governor’s Council”?). The EC is where all state departments and agencies seek approval of both receipt and expenditures of state and federal funds, budgetary transfers and all contracts with a value of $10,000 or more. The EC is that set of trusted individuals who should be supporting
N.H. taxpayers when the governor asks; “So what’s the bottom line on this?” Ray’s liberal; tax and spend behaviors put him in the same category as his combs...obsolete! Our EC needs someone who backs their fellow conservatives (RB has recently endorsed a liberal over a conservative!), someone who supports taxpayers and our downsized budgets! The Executive Council needs people who understand today’s realities. We must elect people whose actions reflect their public face, not conservative in name only. Vote for someone who has the taxpayer’s back! Vote Jerry Thibodeau. Dave Rivers Thornton

Young IT business expects to be at 29 employees by end of year, moving to larger quarters By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Five years ago, Ryan Barton was operating a one-man information technology business, helping a few businesses and a private school. He had a vision of something larger, though, an idea for a company that would offer state-of-the-art expertise and training for companies looking to modernize operations. Within a month’s time, he hired his first through fourth employee, a defining period which, in retrospect, launched Mainstay Technologies on the path to rapid growth. That growth was noted by Inc. Magazine, which recently listed Mainstay as company number 1,739 on its annual list of the 5,000 fastest-growing U.S. companies. According to the magazine, Mainstay’s 2011 revenue of $2.5-million had grown 164-percent over 2008, and that the company had added 14 jobs, for a total of 19, in the same period. The growth has kept pace through 2012, as several more employees have been hired. Barton expects to employ as many as 29 be the end of the calendar year. Another symbol of its success, Mainstay had outgrown its space on New Salem Street, on the same property where Barton also operates Landmark Self-Storage, a company his father Dwight founded. So, as Barton announced recently, he has entered into an agreement to lease, and eventually purchase, the building that formerly housed the Granite State Glass headquarters on Route 3 in Belmont. Mainstay will remain in Laconia for about two more months as the Belmont property is renovated. “We’re really gratified to be able to take a landmark building and give it new life,” said Barton. Once Barton and company move in, they’ll enjoy about 6,000-square-feet of office space, more than double the size the company currently fills in Laconia. The rest of the building, some 14,000-squarefeet, will serve as a warehouse for the company and as additional storage for Landmark. Meanwhile the
Mainstay Technology founder Ryan Barton, at left, and director of business development Ryan Robinson, stand in front of the eight yearold company’s future headquarters on Route 3 in Belmont.

space on New Salem Street in Laconia, which Mainstay plans to soon vacate, will be rented out, perhaps in something of a business incubator project that Barton said is still in development. Since Mainstay’s day one, Barton’s business concept has remained the same: offer the services of a large IT department to companies, municipalities or
organizations that might only be able to afford to hire one or two network professionals. “Providing IT service has really resonated with the market in New Hampshire,” Barton said. He said his company’s growth has been “natural,” meaning that he hires new network engineers as more clients come on see next page

from preceding page board. At the same time, having more employees opens the door for greater specialization among the staff, translating to a wider and higher quality of services available to customers. “We provide IT services to help people grow,” Barton said. “Our growth is a direct measure of how well we do that.” Mainstay’s clients typically have between 10 and 150 employees, and most of their clients are located within an hour’s drive from Laconia. The company also operates a satellite location in Manchester and sees the southern part of the state as an area of further potential growth. As the company grows, Barton said a challenge for him is to maintain the company’s culture, which he said is “very important to us.” He described that culture as being collaborative, customer-focused and dedicated to the growth and development of individual employees. When selecting new hires, Barton looks for candidates who are
“passionate about technology and customer service.” He’d rather hire a customer-oriented person whose technical knowledge might be slightly behind the curve rather than a premier technology expert who lacks interpersonal skills. He can train employees to bring them up-to-date on the latest technology; he can’t rectify and employee who cares little about clients. “It’s really a people-centered service,” explained Ryan Robinson, director of business development. He often hears from clients surprised that their network engineers are more personable and friendly than the stereotypical “computer geek.” What does the future hold for Mainstay? Barton said more of the same: continue the focus on helping customers grow their business, hire more employees as needed to serve customers. “What we see is a continued growth in the area of serving our customers better,” he said. “We see creating a lot more jobs.”
FEUD from page one claim, Leandro also said that during the fire truck debate, his wife saw a Gilford firefighter pull up to his home, stand in the back of his pickup, and take a picture of his backyard over his fence. Leandro says he knows the firefighter in question but has declined to identify him publicly. E-mails provided to The Sun yesterday reveal a increasingly hostile electronic discussion between the two men that stemmed from an e-mail Leandro sent O’Brien and all selectmen on August 13 claiming the use of the town’s “E-mail Blast” sending copies of the fire chief’s PowerPoint presentation to the deliberative session of special town meeting regarding the lease/purchase of the fire truck to everyone who signs up for town’s e-mails was electioneering, defined by state law as using government resources, including employees, to influence the results of an election. Selectmen Kevin Hayes replied by saying that because of the allegation, the town spent money to speak to its attorney to see if Leandro’s charges had some merit and were told that the presentation was a matter of public record and it was a fact-based representation of the town’s need for a firetruck. It was all downhill from there. Leandro wrote that O’Brien had spent $6,000 on his “pet project”, the now-defunct Memorial Triangle proposed for the intersection of Routes 11-A and 11-B before seeking Department of Transportation approval and during that conversation he mentioned O’Brien taking the photographs of his driveway and of a verbal exchange the two men allegedly had in front of a “witness” regarding the pictures. O’Brien replied that Leandro’s “witness” needs to get “their facts straight” to which Leandro asked if O’Brien was denying telling him he had also seen pictures of him welding in his driveway. “I did actually (see) you in your yard (doing) what appeared to be welding,” O’Brien replied, telling Leandro he didn’t have picture but he saw him.
Leandro replied that among other things, he felt O’Brien’s actions were “creepy and unprofessional,” reminding him that his young children live there and he would do whatever he needed to do to keep them safe. O’Brien replied by telling Leandro he was “getting paranoid” and that he needs more sleep. Leandro pushed a little further and said O’Brien should consider resigning as selectman because he really shouldn’t be “on patrol.” “Are you kidding me?” O’Brien replied. “Do you really think I go on patrol????” O’Brien said yesterday that, at that point, on August 15, he stopped e-mailing Leandro, prompting Leandro to write the letter to the editor about the photograph that ran in yesterday’s Sun. O’Brien wrote his response to Leandro’s letter and that is in today’s paper in its entirety. “I’m horribly sorry we have to deal with this at this level,” O’Brien said on the telephone yesterday. “I’m pissed off,” said Leandro yesterday. “You can say anything you want about me in public. I’m a big boy and I can take it. But when you start coming around my house and my family, that’s creepy.” He went on to say that all he really wanted from O’Brien was an apology for taking a picture of his house, acknowledging his house is on a public road and that although what O’Brien did was “creepy” it was not illegal. In addition, both men are hoping to be elected as one of four people who will represent the new N.H. House seats representing Gilford and Meredith. Leandro is running as one of four Republican candidates who will be on November’s ballot. There are also four Democratic candidates on the slate for September’s primary. O’Brien, who is running as an Independent in November election, garnered 150 signatures to get on the general election ballot. Both need to finish in the top four vote-getters in November to be elected.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 23, 2012— Page 9
WOW Trail board expects it to take at least 2 years to raise funds necessary to complete second phase LACONIA — Speaking to the annual meeting of the WOW Trail, president Diane Hanley told the Board of Directors that the funding is in hand to design the second leg of the trail between Veterans Square and the Belmont town line, but ventured that at least two years would be required to raise the $650,000 to $750,000 to construct it. According to the WOW Trail’s year-end financial statement, cash on hand amounted to $256,911. In addition, the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT) has awarded the WOW Trail a grant of $111,915 for the second phase of the project, which requires a local match. Hanley expects it will cost between $75,000 and $100,000 to complete the design of phase two. The wetlands along the route, which follows the railway corridor, have been surveyed and evaluated and initial cultural and archaeological assessments have been completed. H.E. Bergeron Engineers, Inc.. of North Conway have been chosen to design the project. Alan Beetle, vice-president of the board, anticipated that the construction budget would fall between $650,000 and $750,000, noting that the first phase cost $820,000 to complete. However, Hanley cautioned that only when the design is complete can accurate estimates of constructions be prepared. Hanley said that changes in distribution of federal transportation funds would present a significant challenge. In the past, Congress designated appropriations for alternative forms of transportation, like trails and bus routes, then distributed the funds to the state for those specific purposes. This year Congress chose instead to appropriate lump sums to the states, which were granted discretion to apply them to different purposes and projects. “We’ll be competing with highways for funding,” Hanley said. She added that other sources of fed-

eral grants have “dried up.” In response the board has retained Alice Veenstra to prepare grant applications. “We are aggressively seeking grants,” said Hanley, “but it is very, very competitive.” Last year, the WOW Trail raised $130,584, but spent $104,828 to net $25,756. Events like the WOW Ball, WOW Fest , BOW Fest and casino night at Lakes Region Casino accounted for $110,014 of all income.The city contributed $7,500, but will double its contribution this year, and donations and grants represented another $12,869. The largest share of expenses was $42,799 spent on fundraising. Hanley reminded the board that the WOW Trail would be competing with the capital campaign mounted by the Laconia School District to supplement public funding for the renovation and expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center and relocation and reconfiguring of the high school playing fields. Nevertheless, apart from designing the second phase the board set itself the goal of raising half the funds needed to build it in the coming year. Meanwhile, Beetle pointed out that after years of wrangling over fencing between the trail and the railway, Brian Lombard of the Bureau of Rails at the DOT agreed that split rail fencing, could be used to separate the second phase of the trail from abutting private properties. The annual Fred Toll Award, named after the former City Councilor who provided the initial inspiration and energy for the WOW Trail, was given to Jeff Beetle in what his brother Alan called “nepotism at its best, but very well deserved.” He explained that his brother worked behind the scenes, cooking for for the 500 attending in the annual WOW Ball during the last decade as well as volunteering to clear brush encroaching on the trail. “He’s happy to do that and enjoys doing it,” Beetle said in asking the board to confer the award.

LACONIA — Both Democrats and Republicans can follow some of their favorites on MetroCast Channel 26 (Lakes Region Public Access television this weekend. Independents can have the best of both worlds with United States Senator Kelly Ayotte and the President of the United States both having air time on local cable television. Senator Ayotte hosted a “Town Meeting” at Prospect Mountain High School in Alton on Thursday, August 16, and after making a presentation centered on budget matters, took questions from the audience. The video of the proceedings runs 58 minutes. President Obama appeared at “ The Grassroots Event” in Rochester on
Saturday afternoon, August 18, before an assemblage estimated at 3,800. That video runs 36 minutes. Persons desiring to see and hear for themselves what these two elected officials had to say, and with what flavor they said it have multiple opportunities to do so. Senator Ayotte’s program will air on Channel 26 at 4 p.m. on Friday, 8 p.m. on Saturday, and 9 a.m on Sunday. President Obama will appear on Channel 26 at 5 p.m. on Friday, 7 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. on Sunday. The two shows will continue on Channel 26 for at least another week and program times can be learned by visiting LRPA’s website at LRPA.org and clicking on “Shows.”
Correction: Offending Meredith snow dumping was done by Water & Sewer trucks, not Public Works Twice in recent week The Laconia Daily Sun has mistakenly reported that employees of the Meredith Department of Works inadvertently dumped snow laden with salt and grit into a wetland in the winter of
2009-2010, which led the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Service to impose a fine on the town. In fact, employees of the Water and Sewer Department were responsible for the errant dumping.
Clarification: Back -to-school Move-mentum program planned for Laconia Middle School will be held on Sat. An article in Wednesday’s edition about the Laconia Health & Wellness Academy’s first Welcome Back to School Move-mentum celebration

GILFORD from page one most dangerous in the state, with 28 reported accidents, including one death and 17 severe personal injuries, reported in the a seven year period ending in 2010. As part of a federally-funded program paid for by federal gas tax revenue, the state gets about $16.5-million annually and proposes to spend about $500,000 of it in Gilford to improve site lines by moving and upgrading the guard rails, relocating the retaining wall on the Gunstock Brook side of Route 11 A, and filling in some the the undulations or waves along Route 11A that impede visibility. What the state will not do is install
a traffic light. Oldenburg said a traffic light is not warranted because the wait to enter the state highway from School House Hill Road or Belknap Mountain Road is not too long. He said a traffic light would only cause a new and different set of problems like rear-end collisions and long wait times. He also said the area isn’t wide enough to install left turn lanes without going into private property or disturbing Gunstock Brook. Traffic lights aren’t the silver bullet that saves everything,” he said, explaining that the identified problem is that people trying to enter Route see next page

SUV ends up far from the road in Belmont BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — A woman was taken yesterday to Lakes Region General Hospital with what Lieutenant Fred Greene of the Fire-Rescue Department described as non-life threatening injuries after the SUV she was driving left the road on Route 106 just south of its intersection with Stone Road and plunged down a steep embankment shortly after 5 p.m. The metallic blue Toyota Rav4 was traveling northbound when it crossed the southbound lane and shot off the road, narrowly missing the guardrail. The SUV rolled down a gentle slope then dropped off a sharp embankment into a gully, traveling approximately 50 yards before coming to a stop. Shrouded by large trees and dense undergrowth, the vehicle ABORTION from page 2 Romney administration,” he said. Ryan defended a bill he cosponsored in the House to permanently ban federal funding for abortion except in cases of incest and “forcible” rape. That language, which was eventually changed, would have narrowed the exception for rape victims. Akin and 225 other members of the House, including 11 Democrats, also cosponsored the bill. Akin, who is challenging Democratic Sen. Claire McCaskill in a race that could determine control of the Senate, was asked in an interview that aired Sunday if abortion should be legal in cases of rape. Akin said: “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.” Obama mocked Akin’s words during a fundraiser in New York City, telling supporters Wednesday night that Akin, though a member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, “somehow missed science class.” Obama added: “It’s representative of the desire to go backwards instead of forwards and fight fights that we thought were settled 20 or 30 years ago.” Democrats have tried to tactfully steer the debate over abortion to appeal to female voters, including those living in hotly contested suburbs in battleground states such as Colorado, Florida, Ohio and Virginia. Obama did not address Akin’s comments while campaigning in Nevada, but his campaign honed in on the legislation related to federal funding for abortions. Obama campaign spokeswoman Lis Smith said Ryan had “worked with Todd Akin to try to narrow the definition of rape and outlaw abor-
tion even for rape victims.” A new AP-GfK poll found that Obama maintained a slight lead among women voters, with 50 percent of women backing the president and 44 percent supporting Romney. The gender gap was similar to a finding in a June AP-GfK poll. Men were more closely divided in the latest AP-GfK poll, with 49 percent for Romney and 44 percent for Obama. In the suburbs, the candidates were closely divided, with 47 percent supporting Romney and 44 percent for Obama. Akin has refused to heed calls to step down and now would need a court order by Sept. 25 to leave the race. After that point, there would be no way to remove his name from the ballot. Ryan called the Missouri congressman and unsuccessfully urged him to exit the race, but he said he had no other plans to speak to him about it. “He’s going to run his campaign and we’re going to run ours,” Ryan said of Akin. Campaigning in Iowa, Romney avoided talk of social issues during a stop at a manufacturing company in Bettendorf, instead criticizing Obama for failing to bring down the nation’s debt and deficit. Later, during a fundraiser in Little Rock, Ark., Romney called Wednesday a “very revealing day” because of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office’s warnings of a new recession — including unemployment rates of more than 9 percent by late next year — if Washington continues its stalemate over taxes and spending cuts. Romney said the CBO’s conclusions were “unacceptable.”

was hidden from the road. There were no skid marks on the pavement to indicate the woman braked as she veered off the highway. A police officer at the scene remarked that had no one witnessed the accident, the vehicle and its driver might not have been discovered until the leaves fell. Greene said that firefighters used the “jaws of life” to extricate the driver from the vehicle, which suffered very severe damage to its engine compartment and front end. Corporal Stephen Akerstrom of the Belmont Police said that until the identity of the driver was confirmed and officers were able to speak with her, he could offer no information about the accident or speculate about what may have caused it.

Red Sox fade worsens with 7-3 loss to Angels
BOSTON (AP) — Fenway Park has been kind to Clay Buchholz the past two seasons. It has been downright cruel this year to the hometown Boston Red Sox, though, and that trouble has now caught up to Buchholz, too. The Los Angeles Angels tagged the right-hander for seven runs and 12 hits in a 7-3 win Wednesday night over the Red Sox, who lost their third straight and for the sixth time in eight games. Boston, 29-36 at home, is looking to avoid its first losing season at Fenway since 1997. “It’s different for me, being here the last four or five years and always winning,” Buchholz said. “I think it’s a little bit different for everybody. You expect to play well everywhere, especially at home, knowing that it’s sold out every time we play here. It’s frustrating that it hasn’t been going the way we want it to go. Like I said, we’ve got to find a way to get through it.” Despite the team’s hometown struggles this year, Buchholz (11-4) had been enjoying a dominant stretch in Boston. He had only one loss in 16 starts, dating to April 15, 2011.
However, his most recent run — both home and away — was perhaps the most impressive of his young career. He was 8-2 with a 2.69 ERA over 15 starts, and had permitted only eight earned runs in six outings. That changed in a hurry on Wednesday. Buchholz surrendered consecutive singles to Maicer Izturis, Erick Aybar and Chris Ianneta —the last three batters in the Angels’ order — and fell behind 2-0 in the third inning. Los Angeles made it 4-0 in the fourth inning on RBI singles by Mark Trumbo and Izturis. Jered Weaver rebounded from a poor start by pitching seven solid innings for Los Angeles. Howie Kendrick hit a solo homer, and Torii Hunter had a two-run single for the Angels, who have won the first two in a three-game set at Boston after getting swept in a four-game home series against Tampa Bay over the weekend. Los Angeles slugger Albert Pujols left in the fourth inning with tightness in his right calf. The club said he will have a precautionary MRI on Thursday. Ryan Lavarnway and Mike Aviles had RBI doubles for Boston.
Hassan has already spent $800k in race for governor CONCORD (AP) — Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan has spent about $828,000 on her bid to be New Hampshire’s next governor — the most of any candidate so far, according to campaign finance reports due Wednesday. Hassan said she had raised $930,000 with $239,000 coming in since June 19. She reported about $100,000 on hand. Republican Ovide Lamontagne reported raising the most money — nearly $1.2 million — and spending $466,000, leaving him with $718,000 on hand. He said the campaign raised $275,000 since he filed
for governor on June 14. Lamontagne’s closest primary rival, Kevin Smith, reported raising $324,000 and spending $223,000, leaving him with $101,000 on hand. Hassan’s main primary rival, Jackie Cilley, reported raising nearly $105,000 since June 19 for a total of $233,000. She said she’s spent almost $181,000 and has $52,000 on hand. Candidates for state office were required to report receipts and expenditures Wednesday to the Secretary of State. New Hampshire’s primary is Sept. 11.
Hillsborough Co. sheriff candidate says he’d use deadly force to stop abortion MANCHESTER (AP) — A New Hampshire businessman running for sheriff of Hillsborough County says he would arrest doctors who perform abortions and would not rule out the use of deadly force to halt an abortion from taking place. Republican Frank Szabo of Goffstown told WMUR-TV he believes elective abortions are illegal and would arrest any doctor who performs them. When asked if he would use deadly force to pre-
vent abortions, he said the sheriff should do “everything in their power” to prevent the abortion from happening. Szabo is one of four candidates running for county sheriff in the district that includes Manchester. James A. Hardy is the other Republican candidate. Democratic candidates are Bill Barry and Robert Walsh, both of Manchester.

their Annual Old Home Day Pancake Breakfast this Saturday morning from seven till ten at the Gilford Youth Center on Potter Hill Road. Cost is six dollars for adults and three dollars for kids. Gilford Rotary’s secret recipe all you care to eat pancakes will be served with hearty sausage, orange juice, and piping hot coffee. All proceeds benefit the Cheryl Walsh Scholarship Fund. The scholarship was started at the urging of President Richard Ayers and other members of Gilford Rotary in 1988, and was first presented to Corey Ellis in 1989. Originally thought of as an “initially endowed” and eventually “self-sustaining” program, Gilford Rotary initially funded the Scholarship with seed money. The proceeds/earnings of the investments plus contributions by members of the Foundation, board and Selection Committee as well as Gilford Rotary have resulted in $500 to $2,500
Since the beginning, a silver commemorative bowl, a citation, and the grant have been given to recipients at Senior Awards Night in June. Since the beginning, a selection committee of board members, friends and past recipients has conducted interviews to select the recipients. Several fund-raising activities have provided additional resources over the years: a Rotary District Ski Race, early on, and the long-standing Annual Old Home Day Rotary Pancake Breakfast, more recently. The goal has been to raise and conserve a substantial enough principal to give a meaningful and truly helpful grant to each year’s recipient(s). Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to Treasurer, Cheryl Lynn Walsh Memorial Scholarship Foundation, c/o Gilford Rotary Club, Post Office Box 7091, Gilford, New Hampshire 03247-7091.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis feeling that all is well. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You know what real love is and what it is not. Even though grand gestures can come from someone who really loves you, they are not proof of love. That comes in small, specific gestures that only the two of you understand. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Like it or not, you are strongly affected by the people you spend the most time with, and you’ll become like them in many ways. A slight change in your social lineup will make a big difference. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are people who have done more with less than you have, and there are other people who have done less with much more. That’s why making comparisons is useless. Keep your eyes trained on your own path. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Wanting too much from a loved one will create unnecessary drama. The most peaceful relationships involve expecting a loved one to be who they are and to do what they do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Judging from today, the benefits of balanced living may be overrated. You’ll see quick progress precisely because you focus all of your energy in one direction. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23). Different people and settings will accommodate your need for excitement. It’s as though you’ve entered a new world, and you’ll deepen your investigation of it in September. You’ll take an item to market in December and be pleased with the outcome. November and July are the best times for travel. Aries and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 24, 7 and 18.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The one who gives you a chance is giving you a gift. And when you seize the opportunity and do your best, as you are inclined to do, it’s a living, breathing thank-you note. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ordinary aspects of your life seem to shout out for extra attention -- even your coffee mug and your breakfast seem worthy of a snapshot. Someday you’ll be really glad to look at the pictures you took today. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). “Foodies” talk about the flavor, texture and presentation of meals. You’re more concerned with the nutritional value. Your focus on substance will lend you luck in more than one area of life. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You prefer pleasant emotions, but you embrace whatever comes, knowing that laughter and joy are as essential to being human as are frustration and tears. Your willingness to accept all of it makes you strong. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be rewarded for getting things done, not for getting things done perfectly. You’ll find a balance as you strive for a good product without letting every concern stop you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Sometimes you feel like you’ve found your tribe, and sometimes you want to keep looking, believing that the tribe that found you is not a perfect fit. Today you’ll experience both mindsets. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It is difficult to measure and track your progress when your pursuits are as broad as yours are today. And the spiritual aspects of your life are impossible to quantify. For now, be content with a

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 23, 2012— Page 17
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 23, the 236th day of 2012. There are 130 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 23, 1912, actor, dancer, director and choreographer Gene Kelly was born Eugene Curran Kelly in Pittsburgh. On this date: In 1305, Scottish rebel leader Sir William Wallace was executed by the English for treason. In 1775, Britain’s King George III proclaimed the American colonies to be in a state of “open and avowed rebellion.” In 1858, “Ten Nights in a Bar-room,” a play by Timothy Shay Arthur about the perils of alcohol, opened in New York. In 1914, Japan declared war against Germany in World War I. In 1926, silent film star Rudolph Valentino died in New York at age 31. In 1927, amid protests, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were executed in Boston for the murders of two men during a 1920 robbery. In 1939, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union agreed to a non-aggression treaty, the MolotovRibbentrop Pact, in Moscow. In 1944, Romanian prime minister Ion Antonescu was dismissed by King Michael, paving the way for Romania to abandon the Axis in favor of the Allies. In 1962, John Lennon married his first wife, Cynthia Powell, in Liverpool, England. (The marriage lasted until 1968.) In 1973, a bank robbery-turned-hostage-taking began in Stockholm, Sweden; the four hostages ended up empathizing with their captors, a psychological condition now referred to as “Stockholm Syndrome.” In 1982, Lebanon’s parliament elected Christian militia leader Bashir Gemayel president. (However, Gemayel was assassinated some three weeks later.) One year ago: A magnitude 5.8 earthquake centered near Mineral, Va., the strongest on the East Coast since 1944, caused cracks in the Washington Monument and damaged Washington National Cathedral. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Vera Miles is 82. Political satirist Mark Russell is 80. Actress Barbara Eden is 78. Pro Football Hall of Famer Sonny Jurgensen is 78. Actor Richard Sanders is 72. Ballet dancer Patricia McBride is 70. Former Surgeon General Antonia Novello is 68. Pro Football Hall of Famer Rayfield Wright is 67. Country singer Rex Allen Jr. is 65. Singer Linda Thompson is 65. Actress Shelley Long is 63. Actor-singer Rick Springfield is 63. Country singer-musician Woody Paul (Riders in the Sky) is 63. Queen Noor of Jordan is 61. Actor-producer Mark Hudson is 61. MLB All-Star pitcher Mike Boddicker is 55. Rock musician Dean DeLeo (Army of Anyone; Stone Temple Pilots) is 51. Tejano singer Emilio Navaira is 50. Country musician Ira Dean (Trick Pony) is 43. Actor Jay Mohr is 42. Actor Ray Park is 38. Actor Scott Caan is 36. Country singer Shelly Fairchild is 35. Figure skater Nicole Bobek is 35. Rock singer Julian Casablancas (The Strokes) is 34. NBA player Kobe Bryant is 34. Actress Joanne Froggatt is 32. Actress Annie Ilonzeh is 29. Dance musician Sky Blu is 26. Actress Kimberly Matula is 24. NBA player Jeremy Lin is 24.

NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE
By virtue of the power of sale provisions contained in a certain mortgage from Linda R. Gilbert to Paul Batakis, Trustee of 240 Newbury Street Realty Trust, dated January 12, 2012, recorded in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds in Book 2749, Page 609, for breach of the conditions of the mortgage and for the purposes of foreclosing said mortgage, the Mortgagee will sell at PUBLIC AUCTION on 14 September 2012, at 2:00 PM at the property located at 23 Magnolia Lane, Belmont, Belknap County, New Hampshire. A copy of the original Promissory Note and Mortgage may be examined by any interested person at the Patrick Wood Law Office, PLLC, 555 Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246, between the hours of 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM during the business week.
To the Mortgagor, Linda R. Gilbert, or any other person claiming a lien or encumbrance against the Mortgaged Premises: You are hereby notified that you have a right to petition the Superior Court for the county in which the Mortgaged Premises are situated, with service upon the Mortgagee, and upon such bond as the court may require, to enjoin the scheduled foreclosure sale. Failure to institute such petition and complete such service upon the Mortgagee conducting the sale prior to sale shall thereafter bar any action or right of action of the Mortgagor based on the validity of the foreclosure.
Terms of sale: To qualify to bid, bidders other than the Mortgagee must place $5,000.00 on deposit with the Mortgagee’s attorney, by certified check payable without endorsement to Patrick Wood Law Office, PLLC, Trust Account, or other form of payment acceptable to the Mortgagee prior to the commencement of the foreclosure sale. The deposits placed by unsuccessful bidders shall be returned to those bidders at the conclusion of the sale. Mortgagee reserves the right to enter into back-up agreement(s) with unsuccessful bidders in the event the successful bidder does not complete the purchase of the property. A successful bidder will be required to execute a memorandum of foreclosure sale at the time and place of sale, and if the successful bidder shall refuse to sign the memorandum, that bidder’s deposit shall be retained by the Mortgagee. A copy of the memorandum shall be available for inspection prior to commencement of the foreclosure sale. The successful bidder shall be required to tender an additional deposit which, when added to the initial deposit, shall hereafter be referred to collectively as the “Deposit,” within ten (10) business days, time being of the essence, of the conclusion of the auction, so that the total Deposit amount held on behalf of the Mortgagee shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the successful bid. The failure of the successful bidder to tender such additional deposit shall be a breach of the bidder’s obligations under the memorandum and will entitle the Mortgagee to all of its rights and remedies thereunder. The balance of the purchase price must be paid in full by the successful bidder in cash, wire transfer, or certified check on or before 3:00 p.m. on October 5, 2012. If the successful bidder fails to complete the purchase of the Mortgaged Premises on or before 3:00 p.m. on October 5, 2012, then the Mortgagee reserves the right to exercise all of its remedies as set forth in the memorandum, including without limitation, the right to retain the Deposit, in full, as reasonable liquidated damages, or, to proceeds to sell the Mortgaged Premises to the next highest bidder. If the Deposit is retained for any reason, it shall become the property of the Mortgagee and shall not be required to be applied to the mortgage debt. Conveyance of the Mortgaged Premises shall be by Foreclosure Deed. The Foreclosure Deed shall be delivered to the successful bidder upon Mortgagee’s receipt of the balance of the purchase price. Liens and Encumbrances: The Mortgaged Premises shall be sold and conveyed subject to any and all unpaid taxes, mortgages, liens and other encumbrances entitled to precedence over the mortgage. Exclusion of Warranties: Except for warranties arising by operation of law, the conveyance of the Mortgaged Premises will be made by the Mortgagee and accepted by the successful bidder without any other express or implied representations or warranties whatsoever, including, without limitation, representations or warranties relating to title, possession or tenancies, condition of the Mortgaged Premises, construction or fitness for habitation, compliance with applicable state or local building or sanitary codes, recitation of acreage or hazardous waste at the Mortgaged Premises, or any implied or express warranties of any kind, including any warranties of merchantability and/or fitness for a particular purpose, the Mortgaged Premises being sold “AS IS” and “WHERE IS,” and shall be conveyed subject to the restrictive covenants set forth in the deed from Paul Batakis, Trustee of 240 Newbury Street Realty Trust to Linda R. Gilbert dated January 4, 2012, recorded in the Belknap County Registry of Deeds in Book 2749, Page 607.
Reservation of rights: The Mortgagee reserves the right to (1) cancel or continue the foreclosure sale to such subsequent date or dates as the Mortgagee may deem necessary or desirable; (2) bid on, assign its bid if it is the successful bidder, and/or purchase the Mortgaged Premises at the foreclosure sale; (3) reject any and all bids for the Mortgaged Premises, the foreclosure of the Mortgaged Premises being offered with reserve; (4) waive reading of this notice or any portion thereof at the foreclosure sale; and (5) amend or alter the terms of sale as stated in this notice by oral or written announcement made at any time before or during the foreclosure sale, and such changes or amendments shall be binding on all bidders. For further information regarding the Mortgaged Premises, contact the undersigned. Paul Batakis, Trustee of 240 Newbury Street Realty Trust by its Attorney, Patrick Wood Law Office, PLLC 555 Main Street, Laconia, NH 03246-3449 603.524.1446 Patrick H. Wood, NHBA #2785

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’ve been married for 14 years. The first few, everything was good, and then I stopped enjoying sex. I’ve seen several different doctors and had my hormones checked, and the verdict is that I am in great health for a 39-year-old. I think the main problem is, while I love my husband, I don’t find him attractive. I’m not sure I ever did. I was 23 when we met and had never had a boyfriend. Men had never been interested in me until he came along. He is smart, funny and experimental in the bedroom, so it isn’t like we haven’t tried new things. He would do anything for me. But, Annie, having sex with him is a massive chore. I suspect he knows this, and I hate making him feel bad. I can’t fake passion I don’t feel. To tell the truth, I doubt another man would do it for me, either, and I’m not attracted to women. I feel like a part of me is missing, and I don’t know how to find it. What now? -- Berlin, Germany Dear Berlin: It is possible that you are asexual -- meaning you are not attracted, sexually, to anyone. If this sounds like what you are experiencing, please look into AVEN (Asexual Visibility and Education Network) at asexuality.org. However, if your libido previously was working fine and your lack of interest was sudden, you may want to get a referral to see a doctor who specializes in sexual disorders. A normal balance of hormones for most women may be insufficient for you. And of course, there are other possibilities -- psychological issues, weight issues, nutrition deficiencies, medications -- all of which can affect desire and libido. You owe it to yourself and your husband to figure this out. Good luck. Dear Annie: I am appalled by my own offspring. My son is 30, and my daughter-in-law is 27. My grandchild is 16 months old.
We had been traveling and stopped at a restaurant. While we waited for our food, my son and his wife fed my grandchild her dinner. The end result was at least 10 pasta noodles dropped on the carpeted floor under the table. I cleaned them up, but it should have been the job of my so-called adult children to leave our table floor area clean. They felt it was no big deal to leave the mess. We most likely will never return to that restaurant, and they won’t remember us anyway. But if it had been my place of business, I would have told us not to return until we had manners. What do you say? -- Angry and Embarrassed. Dear Angry: We say calm down. Restaurants serve food. People -- both children and adults -- spill and drop food all the time. While one should not deliberately toss food around, and it behooves parents to keep the mess to a minimum and pick up what they can, it isn’t necessary to leave the floor spotless. Cleaning up is part of the overhead costs, and the management does not expect patrons to do all the work. Dear Annie: I believe you were wrong in your advice to “Frustrated and Alone in Indianapolis,” whose mother is difficult. You suggested he try to find better ways to deal with her. I, too, have had to deal with a mother like his. I finally had to make the same decision and cut all ties. It was not easy, but I am healthier for it. I don’t miss my mother, only the idea of a mother. Some people are so toxic that you simply cannot have them in your life. -- B.T. Dear B.T.: “Frustrated’s” mother sounded like someone who has learned to push her son’s buttons. We felt it might be worth figuring out how to respond differently to her and see whether that helps before cutting her off. We still do.

RECESSION from page one off budget-wide spending cuts triggered by last year’s failure to broker a bipartisan deal on reducing the federal debt. The White House said the budget report showed it is time for the Republican-led House to approve tax cuts for all but the nation’s highest earners. The Democratic-led Senate approved such a bill last month, while the House passed one extending tax reductions for all. “They’re willing to hold the middle class hostage unless we also give massive new tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires — tax cuts we can’t afford that would do nothing to strengthen the economy,” White House spokesman Jay Carney said of Republicans in a written statement. GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney’s campaign pointed its finger at the White House. “Today’s CBO report is another indictment of President Obama’s economic policies that have resulted in overspending, increasing debt, and a growing financial burden on the next generation,” said Romney cam-

paign spokesperson Amanda Henneberg. In written statements, No. 2 House GOP leader Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, said Obama’s budget plans “threaten our national security, jobs and economic growth.” And Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, top Democrat on the House Budget Committee, said Republicans want to “protect special interests and tax breaks for the wealthiest in our country.” In May, the budget office said gridlock over taxes and spending could cause a recession, but the warning was milder. Analysts said then that letting the tax cuts expire and the spending cuts take effect would cause the economy to shrink early in 2013 but grow later in the year for overall annual growth of 0.5 percent. Elmendorf said his office has since lowered its expectations for economic activity. He said the economy was already showing signs of being hurt by uncertainty over the looming tax increases and spending cuts. “We think that the economy right now is being held back by anticipation of this fiscal tightening,” he said. The report underscored that lawmakers face no

easy answers. While extending the tax cuts and avoiding the spending slashes would keep the economy stronger over the next two years, continuing those policies for the long term would produce annual budget deficits averaging almost $1 trillion for the next decade. That would produce debt totaling nearly $10 trillion for that period — pushing the government’s cumulative debt to 90 percent of the size of the economy by 2022, a proportion unseen since just after World War II and widely considered badly damaging by economists. That, said Elmendorf, “would put us on a path of federal debt that would ultimately be unsustainable.” Yet while ending the tax cuts and letting the spending cuts occur would cause quick economic damage, it would also produce more deficit reduction. If the tax cuts expire and spending reductions take place in January, next year’s budget shortfall would be $641 billion — down from just over $1 trillion if the opposite occurs, the report said.
