After 4 years of austerity budgets, Meredith officials look at what’s next BY MICHAEL KITCH
of
LACONIA, N.H.
MEREDITH — After freezing the amount of money raised by property taxes for the past four years, the Board of Selectmen began considering how to manage a thaw at a workshop session this week. Beginning in 2009 the board
has budgeted to match the municipal tax commitment to the amount raised in 2008. Meanwhile, revenues from sources other than property taxes have shrunk as economic growth has flagged, interest rates have dropped and the state has either reduced funding or shifted costs to cities
and towns. To cleave to the benchmark of 2008, operating expenses have been trimmed incrementally. After meeting with department managers, Town Manager Phil Warren briefed the selectmen on the services and projects that have been deferred during what he called
“the austerity period.” Reductions in staffing at Town Hall, he said, have led to “longer lines and longer waits.” Investments in providing emergency power and enhancing energy efficiency at both Town Hall and the annex have been deferred. With personnel reductions at see MEREDITH page 10

Year 2 of home cookin’ for Gilford students BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — There’s a sea change occurring in the world of school food service. The conventional model, which relies on government surplus commodities and pre-made or canned products, is beginning to be replaced by one which serves
food that is freshly-made, healthier, tastier and in some cases, locally-sourced. John Lash, food service director at Gilford Elementary School, is one of the people helping to bring that change to school cafeterias. Starting last year and continuing with this school year, food served to students

100-year-old driver hits 11 near an L.A. school
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A 100-year-old man backed his car on to a sidewalk and hit 11 people, including nine children, across from an elementary school in South Los Angeles just after classes had ended Wednesday, authorities said. Four of the children were in critical condition when firefighters arrived but they were stabilized and were in serious condition at a hospital, city fire Capt. Jaime Moore said. Everyone was expected to survive, he said. Some of the victims were trapped under the powder blue Cadillac before witnesses helped pull them out, Moore said. Helicopter footage from NBC4 showed a child in a pink T-shirt being loaded into an ambulance and a Hello Kitty backpack lying in the street nearby. Police identified the driver as Preston Carter and said he was being very cooperative. Carter talked to television reporters just after the crash, saying he has a license and will be 101 years old Sept. 5. “My brakes failed, it was out of control,” see DRIVER page 5

Ryan tells convention Romney won’t duck tough issues TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Seizing the Republican National Convention spotlight, vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan promised Wednesday night that Mitt Romney “will not duck the tough issues” if he wins the White House this fall and their party will move forcefully to solve the nation’s economic woes. “After four years of getting the runaround, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney,” the Wisconsin lawmaker said in
remarks prepared for delivery to a convention dogged by Tropical Storm Isaac. The storm, though downgraded from a hurricane, was still inflicting misery on millions along the nearby northern Gulf Coast. In a secondary role if only for a moment, Romney accused Democratic President Barack Obama of backing “reckless defense cuts” amounting to $1 trillion. “There are plenty of places to cut in a federal budget that now totals over $3 trillion. But defense is not one of them,” Romney
said in remarks that referred elliptically to the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Romney spoke to the American Legion in Indianapolis as his aides in Florida scripted an economy-and-veterans-themed program in their own convention hall and kept a wary eye on Isaac. The storm remained a threat to levees in the New Orleans area almost exactly seven years after the calamitous Hurricane Katrina. Ryan’s vice presidential acceptance see RYAN page 14
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Hurricane Isaac sidestepped New Orleans on Wednesday, sending the worst of its howling wind and heavy rain into a cluster of rural fishing villages that had few defenses against the slow-moving storm that could bring days of unending rain. Isaac arrived exactly seven years after Hurricane Katrina and passed slightly to the west of New Orleans, where the city’s fortified levee system easily handled the assault.
The city’s biggest problems seemed to be downed power lines, scattered tree limbs and minor flooding. Just one person was reported killed, compared with 1,800 deaths from Katrina in Louisiana and Mississippi. And police reported few problems with looting. Mayor Mitch Landrieu ordered a duskto-dawn curfew just to be sure. But in Plaquemines Parish, a sparsely populated area south of the city that is outside the federal levee system, dozens
of people were stranded in flooded coastal areas and had to be rescued. The storm pushed water over an 18-mile levee and put so much pressure on it that authorities planned to intentionally puncture the floodwall to relieve the strain. “I’m getting text messages from all over asking for help,” said Joshua Brockhaus, an electrician who was rescuing neighbors in his boat. “I’m dropping my dogs off, and see ISAAC page 11

Judge backs legality of firing of Northfield police officer By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
NORTHFIELD — After a July 2011 bench trail, a Merrimack County judge ruled two weeks ago that the town’s 2010 dismissal of one of its police officers was justified and properly handled. Judge James O’Neill ruled that selectmen and Police Chief Stephen Adams acted appropriately and did not violate any of former police officer Brian Brown’s rights under either RSA 91 A — the state’s open meeting law — or as provided by RSA 41:48 that states a police officer can only be fired for cause after notice and a hearing. According to background statements made in O’Neill’s ruling, Brown violated department policy eight times in 2010. Incidents that led to Brown’s dismissal included taking a cruiser to Concord Hospital to check on his ex-girlfriend; a late filing of a felony driving while intoxicated report; insubordination for yelling at his supervising officer while other officers were present; allowing a civilian to accompany him on a ridealong without a supervisor’s approval; putting the public at risk by engaging in a high speed pursuit for a violationlevel offense while using a cruiser he was not supposed to use during his shift and turning off the in-car camera surveillance system during the pursuit. Brown argued that selectmen wrongfully terminated him. He said the chief’s “recommendation to terminate Brown was make in bad faith or motivated by malice.” Brown, who was represented by attorney Shawn Sullivan, gave two examples of what he called malice. He said in 2007 another employee was allowed to take an agility test on a treadmill and that when Brown complained, Adams told him it was his decision as to how physicals were administered. He also said when Adams first took over as chief he held a staff meeting and “expressed his desire” that department business stay in the department. Brown also attempted to show that his punishment was more severe than DRIVER from page 2 Carter told KCAL-TV. Asked about hitting the children, Preston said: “You know I’m sorry about that. I wouldn’t do that for nothing on earth. My sympathies for them.” After an initial investigation, it appears Carter was pulling out of a parking space, but instead of backing into the street, he backed onto the sidewalk, police Capt. George Rodriguez said. The car hit a group of people who were gathered to buy snacks from a street vendor, Rodriguez said. “I think it was a miscalculation on his part, the gentleman is elderly,” said Rodriguez, who added there is no age limit for having a driver’s license in California. “Obviously he is going to have some impairment on his decision making.” Older drivers have been involved in other tragedies. In 2003, an 86-yearold man mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal of his car instead of the
that received by other officers. O’Neill was unswayed. He said the Board of Selectmen took Brown’s record in its totality when making its decision and he denied Brown’s claim of wrongful termination. Brown also said selectmen violated his rights under the Right-to-Know Law by holding two non-public sessions with Chief Adams before holding a public session, at Brown’s request. O’Neill ruled that the first selectman’s meeting of November 23, 2010 was only to listen to Adams’s complaints and to reschedule the matter for November 30. On November 30 Adams brought a notice of dismissal to the selectmen, who reviewed it but refused to act, saying they wanted another hearing with Brown present so he could address the charges against him. The hearing — held partly in public and partly not — was on December 14 and Brown presented his defenses and was represented by an attorney. Selectmen met again on December 21, 2010 in a non-public session and voted to fire Brown and O’Neill ruled the process followed by the board was legitimate and legal. Finally, Brown argued that his employment status was discussed by selectmen in a non-public session in November and he never got notice of that meeting or was told he could inspect the minutes. He said the meeting should have been in public and that he should be reinstated. O’Neill ruled that selectmen did not contemplate dismissing Brown at the November meeting but “rather it considered whether the charges leveled by Chief Adams were worth pursuing.” He went on to say that if the November meeting had be held in public, then Brown’s “reputation may have been damaged” and the non-public session was appropriate. When reached yesterday Adams declined to comment referring the matter to the town administrator or the selectmen. Sullivan said he would review O’Neill’s decision with his client and decide what, if anything, to do next. brake and then panicked, plowing into an open-air market in Santa Monica. Ten people were killed and 63 injured. According to California’s Department of Motor Vehicles, people over age 70 must renew their driver’s license in person, rather than via the Internet or by mail. Older drivers can also be required to take a supplemental driving test if they fail a vision exam, or if a police officer, a physician, or a family member raises questions about their ability. Rodriguez said the collision was being investigated as an accident, and Carter was not under arrest. He has a valid driver’s license, Rodriguez said. Carter’s Cadillac still sat draped in police tape on the sidewalk across from Main Street Elementary more than two hours after crash. The school is about five miles southwest of downtown Los Angeles.

Jim Hightower
Lubbock, Texas official takes lead in GOP nut race While it’s hard to fathom rightwing nuttiness, it’s sure not hard to find these days. We saw it bloom spectacularly recently, popping right out of the head of Todd Akin, the GOP’s Senate candidate in Missouri. The learned congressman gave America a twisted tutorial on the imaginary science of “legitimate rape,” including an astonishing assertion of his belief in medical mojo. Akin explained that raped women don’t get pregnant because — according to his grasp of reproductive science — the female body has ways “to shut that whole thing down.” Whoa! Screamed Mitt Romney and the entire Republican hierarchy, as they rushed to declare Akin out-of-bounds, unacceptable and ... well, nutty. But wait. Guess who’s presently cosponsoring legislation with Akin to impose this theological witchcraft on America’s women? Why it’s Romney’s choice to hold the second-highest office in our nation, VP nominee Paul Ryan. Like his buddy Todd, Ryan has sponsored many bills to deny abortion to victims of rape. Now, guess which party has just fully embraced Akin’s nuttiness by including his absolutist “no-abortion-even-in-the-case-of-rape” provision in its national platform? Yes, the Romney-Ryan Republicans. Yet, that same party’s panicked Poobahs have pronounced Akin’s views so extreme that he should withdraw from the Missouri Senate race. Excuse me, but — logically speaking — doesn’t that mean Ryan should also withdraw from his race? Of course, in the fantasy universe of the far right, logic is an alien intruder, barred from interfering with either approved doctrine or political expediency. Indeed, here’s their idea of logic: Akin, a devout worshipper of junk science, is a member of the House Committee on Science. Go figure. And if you find that surreal, let me add that his committee assignment is hardly the only illogical perversion in the doctrinal right’s carefully constructed NutLand. Michele Bachmann, for example, is a member of the House Intelligence Committee. While Akin’s pseudo-scientific tommyrot about “legitimate rape” has surged him into the lead for the title of Dottiest and Most Dangerous Political Nut of the Year, never
count out us Texans in any hard-nut contest. Our state’s DMDPNY frontrunner had been Ted Cruz, currently the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, who’s deeply concerned that the United Nations is plotting to take over America’s golf courses. Suddenly, however, a dark horse from Lubbock has shot past Cruz and seized the lead. County Judge Tom Head, perhaps suffering from the heat of August, shocked and delighted the right-wing-o-sphere by demonstrating in an Aug. 21 interview that it’s actually humanly possible to get even nuttier about President Obama than simply ranting that he’s a Kenyan Muslim socialist. I’ll let Head speak for himself. “In this political climate, what is the worst thing that could happen? Obama gets back in the White House,” he answered to his own question. “No. God forbid,” he added. Why? Plunging deeper into paranoid darkness, Head announced that a re-elected Obama is “going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.” And that, warned Head, will lead to the worst: “Civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe. We’re talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms and get rid of the guy. Now what’s going to happen if we do that?” asked Head as he built to his logical conclusion: “(Obama’s) going to send in U.N. troops.” However, Head (who oversees emergency preparedness in the county) told Lubbockians not to worry, for if they approve a local tax increase, he will use the money to recruit and train more police to combat Obama’s diabolical U.N. takeover scheme. “I don’t want ‘em in Lubbock County,” Head said. “So I’m going to stand in front of their armored personnel carrier and say, ‘You’re not coming in here.’” Thank you, Judge Head, for showing America just what you’re made of: a sack of nuts and a bucket of silly putty. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
Questions about teachers’ contract remain in minds of voters To the editor, Tuesday, Sept. 11 is Primary Election Day in New Hampshire. Gilmanton voters will also be able to vote at a Special School Election — whether to expend the amount of $40,349 for increases in salaries and benefits for Gilmanton teachers in fiscal year 2013-2014. The original warrant article was defeated in March, 2012.
Some questions remain in the minds of voters: Is it fair for certain teachers to receive increases when paraprofessionals and all other contract workers receive zero? Is it fair for teachers with more years of service to receive extra benefits? Is it fair for teachers to receive increases when town employees receive zero?. see next page
LETTERS Cain was the first to feel justified in eliminating the competition To the editor, When he died in 1991, Robert Maxwell was considered one of the worlds most powerful men.

Even the strongest hearts avoid those face-toface sessions because when he voices his anger it lacerates and bruises.” A trade union leader once commented that Maxwell would “charm the birds off the trees and then shoot them.” But Maxwell’s kingdom did not last. His success only was temporary. Sadly, many people follow his same tactics, feeling that being cold-blooded and calculating is the way to achieve success. They believe it’s acceptable to act in any way they see fit, in order to get ahead, get a job, close a deal, or gain riches.
Where did all this start? Go all the way back to where Cain killed his brother, Abel (Genesis 4:1-8). Like many people who try to get ahead in business, Cain thought that being successful meant “eliminating the competition.” He felt justified. But the Holy Bible tells us that “his deeds were evil.” The Holy Bible tells us not to emulate Cain. Other people in the world try to get ahead through intimidation, cheating, and dishonesty. But God wants us to trust in Him and remember that He can give us ultimate success. Instead of being selfcentered, He wants us to be generous, filled with love, truthful, and humble towards Him. Today, put your trust in God. You are His child. He longs to bless you and grant you success. Believe this message, and believe Him for favor! Bishop Paul W. Blake Laconia
I’m a registered Republican but I will be voting for Pres. Obama To the editor, For the life of me I can’t understand why people feel Mitt Romney is good enough to be president, for he feels America isn’t good enough for his money to be in it. Instead he hides it in the islands. Also, President Obama said he’d get health care for all and that’s more than any other president has ever done or wanted to do. Mitt Romney wants to take it away. He claims $500-billion taken out of Medicare so what is being used to strengthen health care for all. On Romney’s plan, how does he think
seniors can afford to pay more when some only get $400 a month? They pay for rent, medicine, and food so now will towns and cities have to foot bills for them? Romney and Ryan don’t give a hoot as long as the are allowed to pay cash if they want to for everything. Also, if we stay paying for wars in foreign countries, we use mony from Social Security and Medicare that we’d all be better off with. After all, charity begins at home. I am a register Republican but will be voting for Obama. Betty Fortier Laconia
Rep. Peter Bolster wants to continue to serve us in Concord To the editor, Peter Bolster is presently a member of the New Hampshire House. He is one of our Selectmen in Alton. In the House, he is a Member of the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee, which is very helpful to any town on the lake. Here in town he as been active in the Senior Center renovations and with youth groups. All this is to say he devotes his time and efforts generously where he feels he can be effective.
In his committee in Concord he’s worked toward improving or state park system — financially and efficiently for our tourists visitors. In Belknap County he is working on updated and proper housing for county prisoners. Peter wishes to return to Concord to continue these projects and to serve the people in this district. He asks for your vote at the Primary on September 11. Alice Ziegra Calvert Alton
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 30, 2012 — Page 7
LETTERS ‘Personhood’ idea must be rejected or all abortion will be illegal
Republicans want to dictate to women what they think best for them
To the editor, The dust up of Congressman Todd Akin’s rape statement continues. Here is what he said, “If it is a legitimate rape the female body has ways to shut that whole thing down.” There are two ways to look at rape: at an arms length, male theoretical manner or from an up front and personal way from a female’s view. Our society is making it possible for a woman who is raped to suffer abuse not once but multiple times. Here are thoughts from a rape survivor, Eve Ensler (the article can be found on the Web under rsn, Reader Supported News, Dear Mr. Akin, I Want You to Imagine...) “I am a rape survivor, I am reeling from your recent statement where you said you misspoke when you said that women do not get pregnant from legitimate rape.... And not a casual statement, but one made with the intention of legislating the experience of a women who have been raped. Perhaps more terrifying: it was a window into the psyche of the GOP. . . Let me try to explain to you what that does to the minds, hearts and souls of millions of women on this planet who experience rape. It is a form of re-rape. “When you, Paul Ryan and 225 other of your fellow co-sponsors play with words around rape suggesting that only ‘forcible’ rape be treated seriously, it brings back a flood of memories of the way the rapist played with us in the act of being raped — intimidating us, threatening us, muting us. ... Do you honestly believe that rape sperm is different from love sperm, that some mysterious religious process occurs and rape sperm self destruct due to its evil content?”
To the editor, I am the father of two grown daughters. I have five sisters. I was personally insulted by the comments of Republican Representative Todd Akin last week. I was disgusted by his inane attempt to back pedal on his comments. I think we all need to understand that these comments are part of a larger view by some men that women are not capable of making their own decisions on their health care needs. This is an insult to all women, and me as well. As a man, I can only begin to imagine the fear, humiliation, degradation that accompanies the heinous crime of rape. As a father, a husband and a brother, I cannot imagine my own outrage and deep concern should one of the women in my life be so violated. Rape doesn’t need a descriptive adjective or a ridiculous qualifying explanation as Mr. Akin tried to give it last week. Rape should be punished as a crime of violence with severe, lengthy prison sentences. The fact that a sitting congressman on the Science, Space, and Technology Committee can even attempt to offer an explanation for what he calls “legitimate” rape should be cause for grave concern. Yet, we’re seeing this out of state ideology taking hold in our own state. Akin was followed less than a week later right here in New Hampshire by the remarks of Hillsborough County Republican candidate for Sheriff, Frank Szabo, who’s not even a law enforcement officer by the way. Szabo said that he would not rule out the use of deadly force against doctors to prevent them from performing a legal abortion. He may have publicly apologized for his criminal words, but I have no doubt what he still believes in his heart, and that’s both wrong and dangerous. What concerns me, however, is much more fundamental than Akin’s or Szabo’s stupid comments or the squeamish way both men tried to repent afterwards in explaining themselves. What troubles me is the sanctimonious way some Republican candidates at the local, state, and national level think that they have the right to speak for women and dictate to women what should be done when it involves a woman’s body and making health care decisions about what is in the woman’s best interest. Here in N.H. and on a national level, you will find repressive bills introduced by Republican legislators; bills that criminalize certain types of women’s birth-control, that require mandatory medical procedures before receiving reproductive medical care,
So we have the weight of law in many states that compel a rape victim to carry that pregnancy to term. What if the child should resemble the rapist? A new conflict arises in the heart and soul of the mother: Eve Ensler speaks again, “I have watched how tortured they are wrestling with their hate and anger, trying not to project it onto their child. ... you will be judged harshly if you cannot love that face. “I am asking you and the GOP to get out of my body, out of my vagina, my womb, to get out of all of our bodies. These are not your decisions to make. These are not your words to define. ... Why don’t you spend your time ending rape rather than redefining it?” Now comes some more middle aged white male legislators’ questionable wisdom: in 31 states a rapist has “parental rights!” Unimaginable! The raped mother must face 18 years (at least until the child reaches majority) when she may be compelled to deal, negotiate and have contact with the rapist who has ripped her life to shreds. How can that be? Our society is being pushed in the wrong direction. Moreover, Congressmen Akin and Ryan are pushing us even further, toward the “personhood idea,” that a person comes into being at conception. That must be rejected or it will criminalize all abortion. Furthermore, Candidate Willard Romney is rapidly moving toward Mr. Akin’s and Mr. Ryan’s stand on abortion. Vote for President Obama and the Democrats who believe women should be in charge of their own bodies and will maintain a sane policy on abortion. David B. Hart Laconia
Local watershed is lifeblood of whole New Hampshire economy To the editor, I thank Neil Young for exposing the low down dirty tricks campaigning of Bill Grimm, who seems to think he can buy the Republican victory in the 9/11 primary. Let Mr. Grimm come out and declare his positions on the serious issues that will face the N.H. Legislature in the next sessions. I want to hear these two in a real genuine debate where we can hear their ideas and proposed solutions for other than the right wing ideologue issues that the NH 7th is facing. What about the +$4.5-billion in unfunded NHRS liabilities? Where do you put that legacy of unfunded liability if Speaker O’Brien’s committee comes up with and the Legislature ultimately enacts a new defined contribution pension system? Senator Bradley is bragging about “pension reform” accomplishments for the flour paste patch of eliminating the COLAS. What are your proposals on the construction and funding of a retro-fit of the Winnifrom preceding page Think about these issues and vote on September 11. The official ballots are posted on the town website at SWWv.gilmantonnh.org. Absentee ballots are available from the Town Clerk. Voting is at the Academy Building from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Joanne Gianni Gilmanton Iron Works
pesaukee River Basin Project’s waste water treatment plant? Will our next senator fight for state funding assistance on that near $14-million project? What are you willing to do to hold the two major NASCAR Races at Loudon, when NASCAR switches to primetime? These two race events individually inject +$10 million each into the district’s hospitality industries. What are your thoughts on measures to contain these annual pollutions of cyno-algae blooms and phosphorus pollutions of our Great Ponds? NHRA has Belknap and Carroll counties as having the highest gross property valuations of all N.H. counties. The local watershed is the lifeblood of the whole N.H. economy. What about an adequate access corridor to I-93 for the Greater Gilford/ Laconia region. Yet another successful high tech industry just recently announcing their move to the Rte 104 region, gaining easier access to the inbound and outbound I-93 corridor. Let’s hear some debate on something other than the same old right wingnut ideology saws of right to life, condemning ObamaCare and the rest of the liberal agendas Washington fiascos. Could we PLEASE hear something about what these two offer to us in terms of our own local important economic issues? Timothy Sullivan Gilford
that prohibit abortions in cases of rape and incest, and that deny a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions about her own body. It gets worse. There are even bills that criminalize a miscarriage. These bills, and many others like them, are misguided attempts to dictate to women what men think is best for them. That’s wrong. It would be just as wrong as legislation denying a man’s right to make his own health care decisions. And, we all know the outrage that type of bill would unleash. Medical decisions must be left to qualified medical professionals and their patients. Doctors and nurses must be free to provide medical care only guided by concern for the best interests of their patients. Legislators, at all levels, have no skill or ability in this area and should stay out of it. Reasonable people can disagree about the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v Wade, but attempts to restrict a woman’s access to reproductive health care or forcing her to complete unnecessary questionnaires and submit to non-medical procedures before seeing a doctor go way too far. I was raised in a big working class family. There were eight of us, five girls and three boys. Growing up, I can tell you that my sisters didn’t let us three boys think for them or speak for them. Our parents raised eight individuals who learned early on the valuable lesson of respecting each other’s viewpoint, especially when it didn’t agree with our own. My wife, our two grown daughters, and my five sisters are a continuous reminder to me that women are intelligent and informed individuals who will make their own decisions in consultation with their doctors about their health care. They don’t need a man standing over their shoulders telling them what he thinks is best for them. That time is long gone and good riddance to it. It’s time to stop pretending that a man has a role in this regard. It’s time for Republican national and state politicians to stop pandering to the antiquated beliefs of the far right fringe and come back to the middle where we all, men and women together, can create health care policy that is affordable and accessible and works to produce quality medical care for everyone. Bob Lamb Democratic Candidate for N.H. State Senate District 2 Holderness
You can’t remove what’s in my heart my stealing a political sign To the editor, Recently people from our area have been shredding and stealing political signs from personal property and along our roads. This act is considered a crime in many jurisdictions and it just doesn’t’ make sense. Someone who takes the time to put a sign on their lawn or to vote for the persons they choose do so because they’ve taken the time to learn about them. You can’t remove what is in someone’s heart by merely ripping a
sign up or stealing them. We believe in our choices and will vote for them on September 11 in the primary and again on November 6th the general election no matter how many signs are stolen or destroyed. So take a moment to clear your head before you commit another crime and fill it with knowledge instead. Knowledge is powerful; being a bully is weak and childish.

LETTERS Fix the roads or let ‘em buy booze & cigarettes with welfare money? To the editor, Mother nature has a way of proving who has the power and as time moves on she shows she can be the winner. There are many roads and bridges in this state that are in need of repair and work. The highway department has many miles to consider on where to spend the money and get the greatest bang for the buck. Some roads in this state are not a priority because
they are the less traveled. So we put up with the bumps and holes and spot repair as we can. There are some roads and bridges in communities that are just not safe and those have to take a priority. As a legislator, the amount of money available for roads and bridges is directly proportional to the amount of funds raised by tolls, taxes, and business profits taxes. There are many
NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE

other concerns regarding how much money is available for those expenses. The decisions made on who gets what is largely a cry for help by more and more people. The problem seems to come from who it is that needs the help the most! Where should we, as representatives of the people, divide the limited resources that are extracted from we the people? Should we build roads and bridges or give the poor more EBT cards to by lottery tickets, booze and cigarettes? Should we pay for the education of our children or the fat cat salaries of university chancellors and staff who don’t teach, only spend? Should we take money from the elderly who worked all their lives and saved their money so the person who comes here illegally can have free health care, not pay taxes and not follow our laws? Should we ask the business person who takes the risk of starting a business and hiring an employee to pay more for everyone’s health insurance and give most of their profits to the federal government so we can maintain the Cadillac retirement plans of the government unions and maintain their special health care plans? The recent letters published in The Laconia Daily Sun by selectman Carla Horne bring to light the difficulties of managing government and business in today’s ever changing world. I wonder sometimes how this country ever survived this far and then I realized, we are born of a differ-
ent stock, you and I. The people who crossed the plains and mountains to create this country did not ask where is my governments help. They built the roads and bridges, the dams and the railroads. They fought the wars and lost their loved ones and gave what they had to give. The people did not say where is our government, they said who is my neighbor and how can I help. We are surely going to lose our country if our only concern is fixing the bumpy road that benefits only the few and not the many. Should we be like the federal government that will spend billions to prop up failing banks and poorly run businesses like: Solyndra, Beacon Power, Abound Solar, Amoix Solar, Spectra Watt, Eastern Energy, ALL went bankrupt and also who were big Obama campaign contributors? Should we take from our children’s future and burden them with great expense because we were not willing to slow down over the bumps? There are many roads and bridges in this state that will get fixed in time. As economics progress and this state gets stronger and more people get back to work and help pay the taxes and the tolls there will be more money. In my business when something breaks, I fix it. I replace equipment only when if it can’t be fixed and I can afford it. I get 400,000 or more miles out of my cars and that’s over a lot of bumpy roads! Rep. Bob Greemore Meredith
I understand buying the Robbie Mills Complex land, but not the rest To the editor, I do not understand why Laconia City Councilor Matt Lahey is so convinced that the city needs to spend more than $2-million to buy the former Laconia State School property. I can understand buying the land where the Robbie Mill Complex is but not the rest of the land. The council to my understanding has no plans for the rest of the land nor is there any guarantee that the city will receive any federal funds to clean up the heavily contaminated buildings and land. “Returned to productive use” is the term used by the councilor to describe the use of the balance of the land after it is cleared of contaminates.
In addition to city taxpayers having to raise the $2-million plus in taxes, we will be hit a second time by the state when the Department of Corrections has to build a facility to house the sex offenders who live in the complex across the road from the ball field. The last estimate I saw stated it would cost the state almost $2-million to build that facility. I hope the Legislature will act to stop this sale or the governor and Executive Council will say no to the sale. I do not want my taxes used to purchase this land. City taxes can be better spent on other things, such as improving the roads in the city. Gordon D. King Laconia
Yes, abortion is still legal, though it is the murder of a human being To the editor, An open letter in response to David Hart’s letter in the August 24th Daily Sun: Mr. Hart, you use stereotyping in your attempt to sway voters toward your choice for president and do an injustice to individual thinking people. You group people without realizing that each American has her own personal beliefs and concerns. Not all Democrat women are pro-choice, nor are all “old, white, Republican men” pro-life. Many young, Democrat women see the evil in killing unborn children through the horrific act of abortion. Stereotyping of groups, whether it be men or women, Republican or
Democrat, white, old, Hispanic, young, or otherwise is an affront to independent thinking. What you think is your right, but don’t stereotype. Now, on the issue of abortion, granted it is still legal, even though it is the murder of a human. Many state lawmakers and our representatives in Washington are beginning to view abortion as immoral, brutal, and wrong, and so they hope to change the laws. Abortion is a big issue. Killing babies is evil, and happily, the number of Americans realizing that babies deserve life continues to grow. To cherish life shouldn’t be considered negative. Life is precious.

Paugus Bay Marina tees it up in support of Laconia Fire Department By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Inspired by the work of the firefighters who spared lives and property when a blaze threatened the Paugus Bay Marina on Memorial Day, Kevin Keenan, Sr., its owner, yesterday announced the business will sponsor a charity golf tournament to benefit the Fire Department Life Saving Fund. The Paugus Bay Marina Community Benefit Golf Tournament will be held at Lochmere Golf and Country Club in Tilton on Monday, September 24, beginning with a continental breakfast at 7:30 a.m followed by a shotgun start at 9 a.m. Keenan said that the event is the first of what will be an annual affair to benefit public services and civic organizations that contribute to the safety and welfare of the community. Fire Chief Ken Erickson, together with the duty crew of firefighters led by Lieutenant Lisa Baldini — Jay Ellington, Kevin Heavey, J.P. Hobby and Daniel Doucette — who were the first to the scene of the fire, were at the marina for the announcement. Erickson recalled that on Memorial Day Baldini’s crew were leaving the scene of a brush fire on the WOW Trail in Lakeport around 2:30 p.m. when they spotted smoke to the north and reached the marina in less than a minute after the fire was reported. They found a storage building at the north end of the property on fire. Keenan said that the area between the storage building and the main building, where 165 boats were stored, was filled with boats, explaining that if the fire reached the boats, it would jump to the main where 165 vessels were stored. “Fire is the biggest risk to a boatyard,” said Keenan, who started working in the business at Channel Marine as a boy of

eleven. “I’ve seen a fire in a marina and they’re not easy to put out with all the fiberglass, plastic, vinyl and fuel.” He said that “I grabbed the fire extinguisher, but then I remembered the movie ‘Backdraft’ and waited for the professionals.” Baldini arrived from the brush fire with just 300 gallons of water, Erickson said. She opened the door of the burning building and quickly decided that with so little water attacking the fire through the doorway would have no significant effect, but would only increase the risk of flames spreading to the boats and adjacent building. She shut the door, changing the direction of the fire, which vented to the rear of the building, allowing the boats around the building to be removed. Erickson said that the ladder truck, along with from Belmont and Gilford soon arrived and “once we had the water, we put out the fire very fast.”
“When you’re the guy who needs the service,” Keenan remarked, “it’s good to know that what we have here is a professional, first class Fire Department.” He said that he was especially impressed to watch Baldini take command while the members of her crew waited for her orders. “It was amazing to see the discipline and training kick in right away,” he said. The golf tournament, Keenan said, is his way of saying thank you and helping to ensure that the Fire Department is prepared and equipped to provide the same service to others faced with emergencies threatening their lives and property. Laurie Fox, the office manager at the marina, said that 21 of the 32 planned foursomes have already registered for the tournament. The entry fee is $100 a player and $400 a foursome, which includes play, cart and lunch, entrants are encouraged to partner see next page

MEREDITH from page one the Department of Public Works, Warren said that the extent of road paving has decreased, less gravel has been laid on unpaved roads and maintenance of cemeteries has become irregular. Warren said that the Police Department went without the two part-time officers traditionally from preceding page before registering. Those needing to complete a foursome are urged to call the marina at 524-1233. Fox said that donations are welcome. Checks payable to Paugus Bay Marina Charity Golf Tournament can be mailed or delivered to the marina at 41 Sheridan Street, Laconia, NH 03246. The hole-in-one prize is a 2013 Bryant boat and trailer valued at $60,000. But, there are still opportunities for other sponsors to join in supporting the event.

added in the summer months as well as the motorcycle patrol. The Fire Department, he continued, has struggled to provide sufficient daytime coverage and keep pace with required inspections while the cost of operating the expanded has increased and the HVAC system is in need of repair. The Parks and Recreation Department, Warren said, eliminated lifeguards and abandoned programs, some of which have been maintained by private parties, while shrinking the hours and deferring the maintenance of the Community Center. Warren said that departments, especially the Community Development Department, have been unable to apply for grants for want of the necessary matching funds. Warren stressed “these are not items I expect to see in the (2013) budget.” Chairman Miller Lovett prepared a memorandum for the board proposing it develop a strategic plan in anticipation that a recovering economy will increase revenue streams. Along with motor vehicle registrations, he expected newer development would lead to increased proceeds from permitting fees and expansion of the property tax base.

Anticipating the preparation of the 2013 budget, Selectman Peter Brothers said “I’m not as comfortable with the same philosophy we’ve followed for the past five years. He questioned the value of having residents conducting business at Town Hall “wasting 20 minutes for a five minute job” and suggested the board may have to raise expenditures and “do someone defending we’ve avoided.” Although the board fell short of drafting a plan, it reaffirmed several key principles of its fiscal policy. For instance, as Warren explained, the board has not applied one-time or non-recurrent revenue to fund recurring expenses, which has served as a major restraint on the growth of the budget. Likewise, Brothers noted that while the board has used the undesignated fund balance (rainy day fund) as “a tool” to stabilize the tax rate and fund capital projects, it has also stipulated that the fund balance should not fall below 7.5-percent of the total municipal appropriation, including the school district appropriation. Warren suggested that the long-term goal should be not to “use fund balance as cash flow;” that is to see next page

Youssef passes on attending Franklin candidates’ night By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
FRANKLIN — The debate debacle in N.H. Senate District 7 got a little more muddled yesterday when candidate Josh Youssef of Laconia said he would not be attending a candidates night that will be held in the Franklin Opera House on Feb. 4. and moderated by Mayor Kenneth Merrifield. Youssef said yesterday he wouldn’t attend because his campaign reached out to candidate William “Bill” Grimm of Franklin two weeks ago and invited him to a radio debate on Niel Young’s The Advocates program on WEZS-AM and Grimm declined. Grimm also declined to participate in Youssef’s offer of an on-line debate hosted by State Representative John Burt (R-Goffstown). Grimm said Monday that he and Youssef had a conversation at a Franklin house party to which all media was excluded and invited him to participate in Franklin’s candidates’ night. “I had given no inclination I would be interested in (the John Burt) thing,” he said. He said Youssef replied to him, “Well thanks, not

what we talked about.” Grimm said there was no “we” and he and Youssef never “talked about anything” “We’re going to do what we’re going to do and you’re more than welcome to join us,” Grimm said he told Youssef. Youssef said yesterday that in his opinion, Grimm converted his offer of an on-line debate into the Franklin candidates night. He said his campaign is planning a “big party-type event” somewhere in District 7 but said the details and location are not available at this time. District 7 includes Gilford, Laconia, Belmont, Franklin, Northfield, Canterbury, Salisbury, Boscawen and Webster. Aside from the private party hosted by Karen Testerman in Franklin, the two candidates have yet to appear at the same campaign venue. Primary election day is Tuesday, Sept. 11. The winner of the GOP primary race between Youssef and Grimm with meet Democrat Andrew Hosmer of Laconia in the general election.
McCain endorses fellow Annapolis grad Grimm
FRANKLIN — Arizona Senator John McCain has endorsed William “Bill” Grimm in the upcoming primary for the Republican spot on the November ballot for the District 7 N.H. Senate seat. McCain has long been a leading figure in national politics and was the Republican candidate for president in 2008. Grimm and McCain are both graduates of the U.S. Naval Academy. Grimm was one of the co-chairs for McCain’s 2008 New Hampshire presidential campaign. “The State of New Hampshire will always have a special place in my heart. Some of my finest memories of campaigning in the Granite State are meeting and working with people like Bill Grimm, a rock-ribbed conservative dedicated to maintaining New Hampshire’s national reputation for fiscal
responsibility,” McCain said. “Bill is committed to finding solutions to our severe economic challenges, a task that his long experience in the private sector and in education have well-prepared him for. Most importantly, Bill and his family have served our nation admirably in the U.S. military, giving him both the leadership ability to get things done and personal knowledge of critical veterans’ issues. I strongly support Bill Grimm for the District 7 seat in the New Hampshire State Senate,” said McCain. Grimm is opposed in the Republican Primary by Josh Youssef of Laconia. Voting takes place on Tuesday, Sept. 11. Andrew Hosmer of Laconia is the presumtive nominee of the Democratic Party. — Gail Ober
from preceding page include a share of fund balance as revenue in the operating budget. Instead, he said it should be applied to non-recurrent capital expenditures. The board agreed with Brothers that the planning of capital projects and management of the debt schedule is the preserve of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee, which with the prudent use of expendable trust funds has enabled the town to complete a series of major capital projects without either overburdening taxpayers or assuming exces-
sive debt. “The CIP has clearly been the difference for us,” he said. Finally, the board has managed the tax commitment rather than the tax rate, which during the past four years has ensured that any increase in the rate has been driven by fluctuations in property values rather than increases in spending. Warren said that this approach provides maximum transparency. Warren said that the next step in the process will be for the board to incorporate these and other principles into a plan that looks beyond the 2013 budget.
ISAAC from page 2 I’m going back out there.” By midafternoon, Isaac had been downgraded to a tropical storm and the Louisiana National Guard wrapped up rescue operations in Plaquemines Parish, saying they felt confident they had gotten everyone out and there were no serious injuries.
“That should be everyone,” National Guard spokesman Capt. Lance Cagnolatti said. “We’re pulling out.” Isaac’s maximum sustained winds had decreased to 60 mph by Wednesday evening. Even at its strongest, Isaac was far weaker than Hurricane Katrina, which crippled New Orleans in 2005. Because see next page

Bristol man charged as part of expansive child porn case told he can’t live at home CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire man accused of participating in an online club that distributed child pornography has not been allowed to live with his girlfriend and her 5-yearold daughter as he awaits prosecution. William Davis of Bristol has been held without bail. His lawyer said the 38-year-old Davis wouldn’t be alone with the girl because she is asleep by the time he gets home from work. Judge Daniel Lynch called that “fairly
implausible.” The Concord Monitor reports the lawyer has asked that bail be reconsidered, saying Davis would be able to live with his parents. Prosecutors haven’t responded yet. Davis was arrested on charges of conspiracy to distribute child pornography and conspiracy to advertise its distribution. At least 72 people have been charged with participating in the Internet club.
from preceding page Isaac’s coiled bands of rain and wind were moving at only 5 mph — about the pace of a brisk walk — the threat of storm surges and flooding was expected to last into a second night as the immense comma-shaped system crawled across Louisiana. “We didn’t think it was going to be like that,” Brockhaus said. “The storm stayed over the top of us. For Katrina, we got 8 inches of water. Now we have 13 feet.” In Plaquemines Parish, about two dozen people who defied evacuation orders needed to be rescued. The stranded included two police officers whose car became stuck. “I think a lot of people were caught with their pants down,” said Jerry Larpenter, sheriff in nearby Terrebonne Parish. “This storm was never predicted right since it entered the Gulf. It was supposed to go to Florida, Panama City, Biloxi, New Orleans. We hope it loses its punch once it comes in all the way.” The storm knocked out power to as many as 700,000 people, stripped branches off trees and flattened fields of sugar cane so completely that they looked as if a tank had driven over them. Plaquemines Parish ordered a mandatory evacuation for the west bank of the Mississippi below Belle Chasse
because of worries about a storm surge. The order affected about 3,000 people, including a nursing home with 112 residents. In Jefferson Parish, the sheriff ordered a dusk-to-dawn curfew. After wind-driven water spilled over the levee in Plaquemines Parish, state officials said they would cut a hole in it as soon as weather allowed and equipment could be brought to the site. In coastal Mississippi, wildlife officers used small motorboats Wednesday to rescue at least two dozen people from a neighborhood Isaac flooded in Pearlington. Back in New Orleans, the storm canceled remembrance ceremonies for those killed by Katrina. Since that catastrophe, the city’s levee system has been bolstered by $14 billion in federal repairs and improvements. The bigger, stronger levees were tested for the first time by Hurricane Gustav in 2008. Army Corps of Engineers spokeswoman Rachel Rodi said the floodcontrol measures were working “as intended” during Isaac. “We don’t see any issues with the hurricane system at this point,” she said. Isaac came ashore late Tuesday as a Category 1 hurricane, with 80 mph winds near the mouth of the Mississee next page

Law student Rush Limbaugh labeled a ‘slut’ speaks for Obama campaign at stop in Meredith
Georgetown University law student Sandra Fluke addresses a house party hosted by Women for Obama in Meredith on Wednesday night. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)
By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — “The Romney-Ryan ticket is out of step with the women of this country and the men who love them,” said Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown University law student who was insulted by national, conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh after testifying before Congress in favor of requiring employers to include contraception in their health insurance plans. Fluke was speaking on behalf of President Obama’s re-election campaign to a crowd of more than three dozen women, only lightly seasoned by a handful of men, including two reporters, at a house party hosted by Paula Trombi last night. Fluke said that although she worked on women’s health issues before appearing before Congress, she had not been deeply engaged in politics. She recalled that her decision to testify was prompted by a phone call she received from a friend as she was leaving an examination. The woman, a classmate, told her she had spent the night at the hospital emergency room in pain from ovarian cysts for want of the contracepfrom preceding page sippi River. It drove a wall of water nearly 11 feet high inland. In Vermilion Parish, a 36-year-old man died after falling 18 feet from a tree while helping friends move a vehicle ahead of the storm. Deputies did not know why he climbed the tree.
tion required to treat them. Contraception was not covered by her health insurance and on her student budget she could not afford it, Fluke explained, “so she ended up in the emergency room.” Commenting on Fluke’s testimony in support of mandated coverage for contraception, Limbaugh brayed she “goes before a congressional committee and essentially says that she must be paid to have sex, what does that make her? It makes her a slut, right? It makes her a prostitute. She wants to be paid to have sex. She’s having so much sex she can’t afford the contraception. She wants you and me and the taxpayers to pay her to have sex.” Fluke said that in responding she sought to set an example for young girls and other women who might be fearful of engaging in public debate of contentious issues by showing “I’m not shrinking, not going away.” She took Limbaugh’s abusive remarks as designed to silence her, along with others advocating for women’s health care, and sought to turn the question from her personal life to public policy. “I realized I had a larger microphone,” she remarked. Fluke reminded her listeners that the Republican platform calls for criminalizing abortion and that vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan co-sponsored legislation authorizing hospitals to deny emergency abortions to women whose lives were in danger. Moreover, she said amid an economic recession and a fiscal crisis the first bill enacted by the Republican majority in the House of Representatives — with Ryan’s support — withdrew funding from Planned Parenthood, which would deprive millions of women of affordable gynecological care. “But, it’s not only about abortion and contraception, “ Fluke said, pointing out that Romney and Ryan have refused to support legislation to close the gap between the compensation for women and men, which stands at 23-percent. “Women are going to decide this election,” Fluke said The most powerful thing for a woman voter is to hear from another woman. Talk to whoever you can get to listen,” she continued. “We must send a strong message that this is not what we expect from the leadership of our country.” When one woman asked about how to deal with those who held equally strong opposing views, Fluke advised her not to be intimidated. “The worst thing they can do is call you a slut,” she remarked with a smile.

Sept. 17’s Thomas Mullen Golf Tournament to benefit Laconia Police Relief Assoc. & DARE LACONIA — Bank of New Hampshire, Irwin Motors and Paugus Bay Marina are three of the major sponsors for the 12th annual Thomas F. Mullen Golf Tournament at Pleasant Ridge Golf Course in Gilford that raises money for the Laconia Police Relief Association and the DARE Program. According to LPD coordinator Lt. Alfred Lessard, Mullen was “kind, civic-minded man” who was proud to call Laconia his home. Mullen served the city as a Police Commissioner and was also the president of Laconia Savings Bank — now the Bank of New Hampshire. Laconia Police Capt. Bill Clary said the Mullen family has long supported the Police Relief Association both with a golf tournament and for 10 years before that a road race. Kevin Keenan, Sr. owns Paugus Bay Marina and has donated a hole-in-one prize of a 2013 Bryant 233X Walkabout boat with a 350 Mercruiser Magnum engine and a Boatmate tandem axle trailer. Chris Irwin in general manager of Irwin Ford-Lin-
coln-Mercury-Toyota and he has donated a hole-inone prize of a 2013 Ford Fusion SEL. Both can be seen in front of the Laconia Police Department on New Salem Street. Businesses and individuals can support the Laconia Police Relief Association and DARE by participating in the golf tournament or becoming a sponsor of the tournament at a variety of different levels. Donations or registrations for the tournament — $100 per person for a team of four — can be made through Lt. Al Lessard at the Laconia Police Department at 126 New Salem St. Laconia, N.H. 03246 or dropped off at the station. The tournament is September 17 and begins at 8:30 a.m. The $100 entry fee provides 18 holes of golf with a cart, dinner, one raffle ticket for a variety of prizes, a golf bag kit, and a Monte Carlo hole. Mulligan tickets are available for purchase. Check should be made payable to the Laconia Police Relief Association. — Gail Ober

FOOD from page one unusual route he took to his career. He grew up in Massachusetts and attended St. John’s University in Queens, N.Y., where he studied sports business. He never worked in that field, instead he found himself moving to Pittsburgh, Penn. after college and working a series of office administration jobs and living the type of existence skewered in the 1999 film “Office Space.” By his early 30s, he had enough and enrolled at the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute. With his culinary degree, Lash worked in some of Pittsburg’s prestigious kitchens, including a 5-star restaurant and the famed Oakmont Country Club. While his culinary career was beginning, Lash and his wife were also growing a young family. Seeing the food world through his three year-old son’s eyes, Lash decided to make another career change. “The foods kids eat was contrary to how I thought about food. I knew I wanted to work with kids,” he said. After wetting his feet at a private school near Pittsburgh, Lash jumped head-first into institutional cooking in the spring of 2011, filling a void left by the death of Gilford’s long-time food service director. The program he walked into was operated the same way most schools had been serving for decades: most food came out of a can or out of a box in the freezer, chosen for low cost and ease of preparation. “That’s the standard for the industry.” It wasn’t up to Lash’s standards, though. Last year, the first full school year under Lash’s watch, he changed that. “We cook almost everything from scratch,” he said. It’s more work for employees, but Lash said they have risen to the challenge. Working with Beans & Greens Farmstand in Gilford, Lash sources green beans, tomatoes, corn and squash. He buys the vegetables in bulk and freezes what isn’t immediately used. Surowiec Farm provides apples. A majority of the ground beef used by the school comes from Miles Smith Farm in Loudon. Those local ingredients cost more than USDA surplus. However, Lash has found, local farmers are willing to work with him on pricing, especially since he’s such a large buyer. Instead of paying retail, or perhaps even standard wholesale, prices, he tells farmers what he can afford to pay for a given product, and the producers either accept or reject the offer. Lash spends about 40-percent of his overall food budget on local ingredients. “A big part of what we want to do is create a sustainable program. Financial sustainability is important to me, too... I want the farmers to charge me a fair price, something we can afford, too,” he said. As he gets to know more local farmers, he hopes to be able to grow his ability to serve local food at school. Although the overall food cost is greater than before — his average cost of ingredients is $1.20
per meal — Lash thinks the benefits are worth the expense. For example, the grass-fed beef from Miles Smith Farm costs him $3.60 per pound, significantly greater than the $2.20 he could pay for pre-formed, frozen burger patties. However, he knows he’ll be insulated against the next “pink slime” fiasco, and because the beef is grass-fed, the chance of e. coli infection is greatly reduced. Flavor is also greatly improved, he thinks. After all, a freshly-picked green bean is always going to taste better than something out of a can. Therefore, more students should participate in the program, leading to higher revenues. Participation has increased, but only by about five percent over the previous year. “It didn’t go up as much as I hoped,” he said. He now serves lunch to about 60-percent of the district’s 1,350 students. To see that statistic grow, he thinks he needs to better understand the child’s palate, something he learned after a couple of his lunches flopped last year. A New England boiled lunch saw very few takers, as did an Indian-spiced chick pea dish served over brown rice. Lash thought both of those would be fast favorites. On the other side of the coin, he’s been taken aback by the popularity of items such as meatloaf and veggie burgers. Sharon Sargent has been working in the Gilford Elementary School cafeteria for 33 years. With Lash’s changes, she said her job is more difficult. “It is more work, (but) if it’s made from scratch, its a nice meal. I don’t mind the from-scratch cooking at all.” For Sargent, the extra effort is worth it when she sees the students walk into the dining room with a tray of food made by hand. “So many kids these days don’t get to have home-cooked meals. To give them one home-cooked meal during the day, you know they have that.” Sargent added, “I love my job, that’s why I’m here.”
from preceding page Republicans, as well as veterans who supported John McCain in 2008. Appearing before delegates on his 76th birthday, the Arizona senator joked that he “had hopes of addressing you under different circumstances,” a reference to the dreams he once had of speaking as the incumbent in the White House. Without mentioning Obama by name, McCain accused the president of failing to lead — on mili-
tary spending and grave international issues as well. “Sadly, for the lonely voices of dissent in Syria and Iran and elsewhere who feel forgotten in their darkness ... our president is not being true to our values,” he said. But another convention speaker, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, pointedly disagreed with Romney on defense spending. “Republicans must acknowledge that not every dollar spent on the military is necessary or wellspent, and Democrats must admit that domestic welfare and entitlements must be reformed,” he said.

Meadowbrook rocks for a cause Monday GILFORD — If there is one end of summer event that is not to be missed, it is The Rise Above Fest founded by Seether, which will be held at The Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion on Monday, September 3. Meadowbrook is proud to be the first and only venue to host this new event and raise awareness for teen suicide. Joining Seether are fellow rockers Buckcherry, Puddle of Mudd, Black Stone Cherry and Otherwise. While the name of the festival derives from one of Seether’s hit songs “Rise Above This” both the song and the festival have much more meaning to the band, especially lead singer Shaun Morgan. The song itself was originally written to bring Shaun’s younger brother Eugene Welgemoed out of his depression. Sadly Eugene ended his own life at a very young age before getting to hear the song he inspired. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for 15-to-24-year-olds, and the
sixth leading cause of death for 5-to14-year-olds. The Rise Above Fest’s mission is to raise awareness to the ever growing threat of teenage suicide. Several local and national charitable foundations will be invited to educate and help prevent teenage suicide with a portion of the proceeds going to support the community of Gilford. The Rise Above Fest will raise money for NAMI-NH (National Alliance on Mental Illness-NH), a multi-faceted organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of persons of all ages affected by mental illness or serious emotional disorders through education, support and advocacy. In addition to the top name national acts uniting for the cause, there will be several local and regional acts performing. The acts will also compete for a coveted opening spot on the main stage. Ticket prices range from $29.75 to $64.50. To order, call (603) 293-4700 or log on to www.meadowbrook.net.
LACONIA — On Thursday, September 6 at 6:30 p.m. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church presents Dr. John Krueckeberg, PSU who will present a NH Humanities Council Program: “Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire”. It is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during the Humanities Council’s Fences & Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to
resettle in New Hampshire. The film explores what it means to be a refugee, how it feels to make a new life in a strange place, often without English language skills, family, jobs or community contacts. The film leaves people pondering questions of belonging and citizenship. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is located at 2238 Parade Road in Laconia. 528-4078. This is a free presentation to anyone who would like to attend.

Laconia Multicultural Festival marking 11th anniversary on Sept. 8
Cinder Conk (Courtesy photo)
LACONIA — The Laconia Multicultural Festival will mark its 11th anniversary on Saturday, September 8. Cinder Conk is one of the featured entertainers. They play hardcore and instrumental music from the Balkans, a source of Europe’s most diverse musical traditions. Their music both celebrates and laments the experience of the Romans, Jews, peasants, and nationalists. Xar Adelberg, a band member, says, “We hope to offer an experience that is not only inviting to the ear, but transformational, the kind of show that you wake up the next morning still pondering.” Their music brings a message that together with live
performance can feel medicinal. The band’s three instruments - accordion, violin and bass create a sound that is almost orchestral in scope. This year a Kid’s Corner offers a variety of activities and exhibits. A Children’s Art Exhibit named “Handson Activities for Children” and sponsored by Lakes Region Child Care and Frates Creative Arts Center, includes: Festival button making, Dance withEdgewater Dance Academy, face painting, a Magic Show, illustrated storytelling, and caricature drawings by Larry Frates. While the activities and exhibits are at scheduled times, the Granite State Zoo will be there from the beginning to the end of the festival. Crafts from all over the world are presented as an opportunity to learn about other countries, but also to find a souvenir, a birthday gift, or early Christmas gift. Hand-made bags, jewelry and other crafts from
Kenya will be displayed by ‘Just Us Exchange’. They support schools in Ikiny, Kenya. ‘Beyond Beads’, another non-profit organization, offers Guatemalan beads, necklaces and pins. It is in this way that they help to build Mayan schools. All the crafts are hand- made by Mayan women. Laconia Multicultural Festival is known not only for its crafts, but even more for its food vendors and social service organizations information booths. It is an opportunity for the agencies to introduce their services to a diverse community. All entertainment is free. Visit www.laconiamulticulturalfestival.com for more information. The Laconia Multicultural Festival is sponsored by the Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Main Street, Frates Creative Arts Center, and the Historic Belknap Mill.

Be patient. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may try to hide the truth in order to spare someone’s feelings, but your honesty has a way of shining through. So your best bet is to find what’s genuinely good about your scene and focus there. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A stall in the action may very well be exactly what allows you to shift into a higher gear and take off rocket-style. So don’t try to push your way through this. Take it easy! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You won’t learn much from one who teaches you in broad terms. Everything worth learning is in the details. The teacher who can give you specific help will open new pathways in your brain. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30). This year, you’ll find new ways to measure your success, and you’ll increase your happiness level exponentially. There’s a jump in your income next month. A relationship blossoms over the holidays. Seal a deal in December. Moves happen in January. Your excitement builds toward a March event. Aquarius and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 19, 24 and 18.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You care about happiness, but your responsibilities have come first lately. There is a way to make happiness your No. 1 priority and still show up for all of your obligations. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Marketers know that you can position the exact same product in many ways. What you present today will seem exciting, fresh and new, whether or not it really is. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Something in you is restless. Look for inspiration; it won’t be hard to find it. Also, you’ll spark a connection with someone new and enjoy the good feelings that you create together. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t have to form your personality to match the job at hand. Better results will be yours because you dared to be yourself, trusting the world to appreciate your intelligence and wit. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). One reason why fashion magazines show new styles monthly is because familiarity is the enemy of glamour. Fresh excitement is part of the attraction equation, and you won’t ignore its importance today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Do not approach another person with only a complaint. Have a solution handy, as well, or don’t approach at all. You are one of the best problem solvers of the zodiac now, so this should be easy. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). One of the paradoxes of life is that you have to risk rejection in order to experience the wonderful sensation of belonging. Don’t be surprised if you walk up to a group and hear, “It’s about time you joined us.” SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, August 30, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Aug. 30, the 243rd day of 2012. There are 123 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Aug. 30, 1862, Confederate forces won victories against the Union at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Va., and the Battle of Richmond in Kentucky. On this date: In 1797, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, creator of “Frankenstein,” was born in London. In 1861, Union Gen. John C. Fremont instituted martial law in Missouri and declared slaves there to be free. (However, Fremont’s emancipation order was countermanded by President Abraham Lincoln.) In 1905, Ty Cobb made his major-league debut as a player for the Detroit Tigers, hitting a double in his first at-bat in a game against the New York Highlanders. (The Tigers won, 5-3.) In 1963, the “Hot Line” communications link between Washington and Moscow went into operation. In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1983, Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first black American astronaut to travel in space as he blasted off aboard the Challenger. In 1986, Soviet authorities arrested Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, as a spy a week after American officials arrested Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, on espionage charges in New York. (Both men were later released.) In 1987, a redesigned space shuttle booster, created in the wake of the Challenger disaster, roared into life in its first full-scale test-firing near Brigham City, Utah. In 1992, the television series “Northern Exposure” won six Emmy Awards, including best drama series, while “Murphy Brown” received three Emmys, including best comedy series, in a ceremony marked by satirical jabs directed at Vice President Dan Quayle. In 1997, Americans received word of the car crash in Paris that claimed the lives of Princess Diana, Dodi Fayed and their driver, Henri Paul. (Because of the time difference, it was Aug. 31 where the crash occurred.) One year ago: National Guard helicopters rushed food and water to a dozen cut-off Vermont towns after the rainy remnants of Hurricane Irene washed out roads and bridges in a deluge that had taken many people in the landlocked New England state by surprise. Today’s Birthdays: Opera singer Regina Resnik is 90. Actor Bill Daily is 85. Actress Elizabeth Ashley is 73. Actor Ben Jones is 71. Cartoonist R. Crumb is 69. Olympic gold medal skier Jean-Claude Killy is 69. Actress Peggy Lipton is 65. Comedian Lewis Black is 64. Actor Timothy Bottoms is 61. Actor David Paymer is 58. Jazz musician Gerald Albright is 55. Actor Michael Chiklis is 49. Actress Michael Michele is 46. Country singer Sherrie Austin is 41. Actress Cameron Diaz is 40. Rock musician Leon Caffrey (Space) is 39. Actor Michael Gladis is 35. Rock musician Matt Taul (Tantric; Days of the New) is 34. Tennis player Andy Roddick is 30. Rock musician Ryan Ross is 26. Actor Cameron Finley is 25.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My wife and I are in the final stages of a divorce after 25 years of marriage. We have two wonderful teenagers. We both realize that we had a part in the breakdown of the marriage, and we are trying to keep the process as friendly as such things can be. Shortly after my wife moved out, I met a wonderful lady with whom I have much in common. Once the divorce is final, I would like to ask her to marry me. Is that fair? I don’t want my soon-to-be-ex to think that she meant nothing to me and is being traded in. I also don’t want my new ladylove to think I’m simply replacing one wife with another. I don’t mind living alone. It actually has been quite peaceful. The biggest worry is the kids. I think my son would understand, but my 13-year-old daughter will be a different story. She tries to put up a good front, but isn’t succeeding all that well. I guess the real question is: Should I let my concerns for other people get in the way of my own happiness? How can I help my daughter understand that I am not disrespecting the years of my marriage? I am simply taking the next step in my life. -- Ready To Move On Dear Ready: Your main focus right now should be your kids’ adjustment, not your personal contentment. You are rushing things. They are teenagers. The parents they love are divorcing, and this is enough trauma in their lives for the moment. Please don’t make things more stressful by remarrying so quickly. Let the dust from the divorce settle, and then slowly introduce the new woman into your children’s lives and let them get to know her. They may still object, but they will have less reason if they don’t feel she is being shoved down their throats. We think all of you could benefit from speaking to a family therapist. Dear Annie: Lately, I have been getting constant putdowns
for my “new” appearance. It consists of clothes that I’ve owned for a while, though nobody seemed to notice until I began applying black eyeliner. My sister has been pestering me for months, complaining that I look Goth. I admit that I’ve begun using makeup more often, though it’s usually only eyeliner or silver eye shadow. A few days ago, I was sent to the school office to receive papers for a special event for high-honor students. While I was waiting, a teacher I didn’t know walked in and gave me a nasty look, saying, “Hope that one makes it to the high school.” Annie, I have no piercings other than the standard ones in my ears. I don’t dye my hair. I am an honor student and love to read. Please tell your readers not to judge a book by its cover. It can really hurt. -- Judged Wrong in Jersey Dear Jersey: It is never a good idea to judge based on appearances. But, honey, if simply wearing eyeliner is making people look askance, you might ask whether perhaps you are wearing a bit too much. And if a Goth look is what you are going for, it makes no sense to be surprised by the reaction. Take responsibility for your choices. Dear Annie: Like “Single Too Long,” I am 55, divorced with grown children and can’t find a long-term relationship. The difference is, I’m female. I have tried dating sites and church groups (full of women). I did meet men when I briefly worked at Home Depot, but I had to quit. You told him to go where the women are, but where are the men? -- Looking for a Relationship, Too Dear Looking: In bookstores, grocery stores, hardware stores and laundromats. At sporting events, taking college courses, playing golf, softball and basketball, doing volunteer work and traveling. Readers? Help us out here.

Brody joins Lakes Region Community College faculty Lakes Region Community College has appointed Carol Brody of Meredith a faculty member for Nursing. She accepted the position formerly held by LRCC Nursing Professor Creedon Carothers, who has joined the faculty at Manchester Community College. “”I look forward to the challenge of joining the LRCC Nursing faculty full-time,” says Brody whose husband, Dr. Spencer Brody, has been a long-term Lakes Region pediatrician. “LRCC’s Nursing Department has been extremely well thought of since its inception a number of years ago.” Brody received her Master of Science Degree in Nursing with a specialization in Nursing Health Care Education through University of Phoenix as well as her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing there. Brody earned her Associate Degree in Nursing through the State University of New York. For additional information about LRCC’s 30 degree and certificate programs, contact Admissions Director Wayne Fraser at 524-3207. Registrations are still being accepted for fall. (Courtesy photo)
State official says hydrilla is next big threat MEREDITH — Seminar participants representing seven N.H. water bodies listened with rapt attention last week as Amy Smagula, exotic species coordinator for the N.H. Department of Environmental Services, introduced familiar aquatic invasives like variable milfoil and zebra mussels before sharing information about new threats to state’s public waters. Smagula’s appearance at the Community Center was hosted by the Waukewan and Winona Watershed Protective Association. “This is a very important issue to bring to the public’s awareness if we hope to stop the spread of exotic invasives threatening New Hampshire’s waters,” said Deb Corr, co-chairman of WWWPA. According to Smagula, the latest threat knocking at N.H.’s door is hydrilla. This horrific invasive is spread not only by the uneducated boater; it can be spread by water fowl. “This species is so rapacious and grows so quickly that it threatens to replace milfoil as the number one enemy of our lakes and ponds,” she said. Another new threat is the Asian clam. This exotic species likes sand and will multiply rapidly in sandy areas of ponds and lakes, colonizing habitat and depleting food sources that are
essential to the survival of native species. “Our greatest weapon in the fight against invasives is prevention” said Smagula. The Weed Watcher and Lake Host Programs play a very important part in helping to keep invasives out of the state’s lakes and ponds. “Lake Waukewan has active volunteers in both programs” according to Janan Hays, vice chairman of WWWPA and the coordinator of its Weed Watcher Program. Tim Whiting is the coordinator of the Lake Host Program on Lake Waukewan. “We encourage shorefront property owners and others interested in protecting New Hampshire’s beautiful ponds and lakes to think about starting Weed Watcher and Lake Host Programs on their own lake or pond” said Hays. “It is imperative for people to become involved in this effort if we are to save New Hampshire’s ponds and lakes” said Dave Reilly, co-chairman, WWWPA.

Saturday’s events include an onsite homebrew competition, sampling from homebrew clubs from throughout New England, raffles, brewing demonstrations, live music and awards.
Homebrewers may enter the competition for a fee of $3 per entry (2 12oz. or 1 22 oz. bottles). Judging is held on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Categories will include several varieties of beer, wine, meads and ciders.
