Repair of Engine 4 to begin soon GILFORD — In the wake of the voters rejection of purchasing a new fire truck Tuesday, selectmen last night authorized the Department of Public Works to begin repairs to Engine 4. Although a solid majority of voters were in favor of $441,000 lease purchase the initiative fell a handful of votes shy of the 60-percent majority needed for passage because longterm borrowing was involved.

‘Not a chance’ Grimm will help Youssef against Hosmer BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “Tired, happy and tired,” was how Senate District 7 Republican primary victor Josh Youssef described himself yesterday afternoon. Youssef of Laconia defeated Franklin candidate William “Bill” Grimm in yesterday’s primary in a battle that saw

Youssef’s home city tilt the scales decisively in his favor. Youssef carried Laconia by 383 votes and than more than provided the victory margain for a race that ended up at 2,751 to 2,425. “We worked very hard and ran an honest and clean campaign,” he said, saying his victory was earned as much by his

supporters as it was by him. Youssef said he thought Grimm was a “very nice gentleman” and that he ran a good race. “I wish him luck in the future,” he said. He said he felt that “ultimately voters made the decision to see the fresh ideas for the problems we face in Concord.” Grimm said he felt his team ran

a great campaign and spent its resources as wisely as they could. According to the most recent campaign and expenditure filings available through the secretary of state as of September 5, Youssef reported he had raised a total of $2,970 and spent a total of about $2,200 — all but $180 before the Sepsee SENATE 7 page 10

A Tardif Park bridge to rank of Eagle Scout BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Adam Smith knew he wanted to become an Eagle Scout from his first days in scouting. By completing the reconstruction of a foot bridge over Jewett Brook in Tardif Park recently, he’s one step closer to realizing that goal. “Since I was a Tiger (Scout), I wanted to

go to Boy Scouts, go for Eagle, go for the long haul. Here we are now,” he said, looking at his completed Eagle Scout project. Though the 15 year-old Smith still has a few steps left before he can achieve elite Eagle rank, the completion of the project represents the most difficult hurdle. “It feels great to have it done,” Smith said. “A lot of work put into it, a lot of

problems that were frustrating,” he added. Smith didn’t come up with the idea for the project. Another scout had approached the city about re-building the wood and steel footbridge, which spans the brook and gives Tardif Park users access to a shaded, grassy area ideal for picnics.

Hair salon manager dies trying to protect employee

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Worried about an escalating conflict, Amanda Connors drove up to the door of the hair salon she managed and confronted her employee’s boyfriend, who had just kidnapped his two kids after being hit with a protection order and domestic violence arrest. The heroic decision cost Connors her life, but the mother’s was spared. Police said Connors was leaving the Sioux Falls salon Tuesday afternoon when she saw Tyrone Leeon Smith, 38, with the kids in the parking lot. She phoned the store from her car to warn her employees, including Smith’s girlfriend, then pulled her car up. Smith exchanged words with Connors as he stood in the Cost Cutters doorway before fatally shooting Connors in the head. As her red sedan accelerated into a parked SUV, Smith ducked inside, fired another shot and then see SALON page 11

U.S. sends Marines to Libya after mob kills ambassador BENGHAZI, Libya (AP) — The U.S. dispatched an elite group of Marines to Tripoli on Wednesday after the mob attack that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Officials were investigating whether the rampage was a backlash to an anti-Islamic video with ties to Coptic Christians or a plot to coincide with the anniversary of 9/11. Tuesday’s stunning attack on the American Consulate in Benghazi poses a daunting task for U.S. and Libyan investigators: searching for the culprits in a city rife with

heavy weapons, multiple militias, armed Islamist groups and little police control. The one-story villa that serves as the consulate was a burned-out wreck after the crowd armed with machine guns and rocketpropelled grenades rampaged through it. Slogans of “God is great” and “Muhammad is God’s Prophet” were scrawled across its scorched walls. Libyan civilians strolled freely in charred rooms with furniture and papers strewn everywhere. President Barack Obama vowed in a Rose Garden address that the U.S. would

“work with the Libyan government to bring to justice” those who killed Ambassador Chris Stevens, information manager Sean Smith and two other Americans who were not identified. Three other Americans were wounded. Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty in 30 years. “We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others, but there is absolutely no justification for this type of senseless violence. None,” said Obama, see LIBYA page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican challenger Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama’s administration on Wednesday of showing weakness in the face of tumultuous events that left four U.S. diplomats dead in the Middle East and jolted the race for the White House. Obama retorted that his rival “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” Even some Republicans questioned Romney’s handling of the issue, calling it

hasty. Top GOP leaders in Congress pointedly declined to endorse his criticism of the president. Said Obama: “It’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.” Obama-the-political-candidate’s unusually personal criticism, which came in an interview with CBS, stood in contrast to his

appearance outside the White House earlier in the day. Then, he somberly mourned the deaths and announced the deployment of additional Marines at diplomatic posts overseas in his capacity as commander in chief. “And make no mistake. Justice will be done” he declared, referring to those responsible for the murders of Chris Stevens, U.S. ambassador to Libya, and three others. The four diplomats were killed on Tuessee ROMNEY & OBAMA page 5

Speaker O’Brien says Republican agenda is all about protecting liberty BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Fresh from Tuesday’s primary election, nearly 50 local Republicans, including many candidates in the upcoming general election, gathered at the Top of the Town Restaurant for the monthly meeting of the Belknap County Republican Committee to hear Bill O’Brien, Speaker of the New Hampshire House of Representatives, tout the achievements of the last Legislature and present an agenda for the next. “As government grows, liberty shrinks,” O’Brien began, explaining that spending is a sure measure of expanding government. “Affordable, efficient government,” he said is required “first and foremost to protect liberty.” O’Brien reminded his listeners that the 2011-2012 budget, crafted by the Republican majority, reduced total appropriations by $1.2-billion, or 11-percent, and general fund appropriations funded by state taxes and fees by $536-million, or 18-percent. The numbers prompted the first of several rounds of applause. He went on to note that the Legislature enacted 20 bills that trimmed taxes and fees and another 80 that repealed or relaxed unnecessary state regulations. When Richard Juve of Meredith asked where the major cuts fell, O’Brien at once noted that the Legislature cut $50-million from the university system, halving the state’s share of the operating budget. He then took the opportunity to remark that “they are inefficient, burdening students with debt and not giving them an education that makes them good or productive citizens. At some pint,” he continued, “they’re going to have to clean up their act.” As a result of the austerity imposed by the Legislature, O’Brien claimed, the private sector has added some 12,000 jobs during the past two years. Moreover, the tax climate for businesses, which was ranked 50th in the nation in 2010, rose to 46th in 2011 and, he said, would likely reach the “low 40s” this year. “This is not good enough,” he conceded,”

but we pride ourselves the progress.” Looking ahead, the Speaker said that “liberty will never be finally protected. We have to continue the battle, continue the message, continue the effort.” He said that “integrity in government” would be among the priorities of the next legislature. “It begins at the ballot box,” he said, drawing more applause by referring to the success of legislation requiring voters to present photo identification and then turning to allegations of impropriety at the New Hampshire State Liquor Commission and nepotism at the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. Next O’Brien turned to the abuse of the food stamp and Medicaid programs. He said that an investigation found that 9.1-percent of those receiving food stamps lived outside the state, one in a home valued at $1.2-million and another driving a Cadillac Escalade. Likewise, he said that 5,500

Medicaid recipients, who annually receive services with an average value of more than $7,000 a year, also have addresses in other states. Jackie Whiton, the clerk fired for refusing to sell cigarettes to a customer with an EBT card, he described as “the Rosa Parks of New Hampshire” and vowed “we’re going to protect the Jackie Whitons of this world.” Referring to the “substantial gains but fragile gains” of the last two years, O’Brien rallied his listeners to spare no effort on behalf of Republican candidates in the general election. Currently the GOP holds 19 of the 24 seats in the New Hampshiure Senate and 297 of the 400 seats in the House. Nevertheless, O’Brien remarked that earlier in the day he spoke with Ovide Lamontagne, the GOP candidate for governor, who looked forward to the election of more Republicans, “which the state so sorely needs.” Family Owned and Operated Since 1946

Tall, skinny iPhone will California man confirms role in making anti-Islam film be in U.S. stores Sept. 21 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For the first time, the iPhone is growing even as it slims down. After sticking for five years to the same screen size, Apple on Wednesday revealed a new phone that’s taller, with a bigger display. The iPhone 5 will go on sale in the U.S. and eight other countries next Friday, Sept. 21. Even though it’s taller than the iPhone 4S, it’s lighter, thanks to a new screen technology that makes the whole phone thinner. The bigger screen — 4 inches measured diagonally — creates room for another row of icons on the screen and lets widescreen movies fit better. The calendar will now show five days at a time instead of just three. Previous iPhone models carried 3.5-inch screens. In another big change, the iPhone 5 will come with the capability to connect to the fastest new wireless data networks in the U.S. and overseas. The new device also carries another distinction: It’s the first iPhone developed and unveiled since the death of Apple founder Steve Jobs. The iPhone that Jobs had conceived ushered in what he billed as “the post-PC era” — a shift that is causing people to rely less on personal computers and more on mobile gadgets they can hold in their hand. Jobs died last October the day after Apple introduced the iPhone 4S, which was the fifth version of Apple’s phone. There was little surprise in Wednesday’s announcement. Despite the pains the company takes to hide its plans, the rough launch date, the new screen and the capability to connect to so-called LTE networks had been reported for months by blogs and analysts. There was nothing unexpected in terms of the new features of the iPhone,” said Tavis McCourt, an analyst with Raymond James. That’s a contrast to last year, when Apple watches were first surprised by a delay in the launch, and then by the fact that the phone that was revealed was the iPhone 4S rather than a more radical update. The 4S, nevertheless, has been a smash success. During the first nine months that the iPhone 4S was on the market, Apple’s revenue from iPhones has exceeded $63 billion, helping to establish Apple as the world’s most valuable company ever. Another surprise about the iPhone 5 is that it’s 18 percent thinner than its predecessor. The company was expected to use the space freed up by the new screen technology to expand the phone’s battery, not make the phone thinner. ROMNEY & OBAMA from page 2 day as protesters overran and burned the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi. In a separate incident, the American Embassy in Cairo was breached by protesters, and the nation’s flag was ripped down, although no deaths were reported there. The political fallout came as U.S. officials investigated whether the attack in Libya was a terrorist strike planned to mark the 11th anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Initial reports were that both the Libya and Egypt events had been motivated by anger over an amateur film made in the United States that ridiculed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Either way, some Republicans joined Democrats in questioning Romney’s decision to inject himself into the situation thousands of miles away with his critical statement Tuesday night. He followed up with morning remarks in which he blasted the administration’s initial statement from Cairo as disgraceful and “akin to apology.” He added, “It’s never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.” Appearing in Jacksonville, Fla., Romney quickly broadened his remarks to emphasize other disagreements he has with Obama on national security issues, citing “differences of opinion with regards to Israel and our policies there; with regards to Iran, with regards to Afghanistan, with regards to Syria.” The events unfolded with less than eight weeks remaining in the race for the White House.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The search for those behind the provocative, anti-Muslim film implicated in violent protests in Egypt and Libya led Wednesday to a California Coptic Christian convicted of financial crimes who acknowledged his role in managing and providing logistics for the production. Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, told The Associated Press in an interview outside Los Angeles that he was manager for the company that produced “Innocence of Muslims,” which mocked Muslims and the prophet Muhammad and may have caused inflamed mobs that attacked U.S. missions in Egypt and Libya. Nakoula provided the first details about a shadowy production group behind the film. Nakoula denied he directed the film and said he knew the self-described filmmaker, Sam Bacile. But the cellphone number that AP contacted Tuesday to reach the filmmaker who identified himself as Sam Bacile traced to the same address near Los Angeles where AP found Nakoula. Federal court papers said Nakoula’s aliases included Nicola Bacily, Erwin Salameh and others.

Nakoula told the AP that he was a Coptic Christian and said the film’s director supported the concerns of Christian Copts about their treatment by Muslims. Nakoula denied he had posed as Bacile. During a conversation outside his home, he offered his driver’s license to show his identity but kept his thumb over his middle name, Basseley. Records checks by the AP subsequently found it and other connections to the Bacile persona. The AP located Bacile after obtaining his cell phone number from Morris Sadek, a conservative Coptic Christian in the U.S. who had promoted the antiMuslim film in recent days on his website. Egypt’s Christian Coptic population has long decried what they describe as a history of discrimination and occasional violence from the country’s Arab majority. Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Fla., who burned Qurans on the ninth anniversary of 9/11, said he spoke with the movie’s director on the phone Wednesday and prayed for him. He said he has not met the filmmaker in person, but the man contacted him a few weeks ago about promoting the movie.

Whooping cough vaccine said to lose punch too fast NEW YORK (AP) — As the U.S. wrestles with its biggest whooping cough outbreak in decades, researchers appear to have zeroed in on the main cause: The safer vaccine that was introduced in the 1990s loses effectiveness much faster than previously thought. A study published in Wednesday’s New England Journal of Medicine found that the protective effect weakens dramatically soon after a youngster gets the last of the five recommended shots around age 6. The protection rate falls from about 95 percent to 71 percent within five years, said researchers at the Kaiser Permanente Vaccine Research Center in Oakland, Calif. The U.S. has had more than 26,000 whooping cough cases so far this year, including more than

10,000 in children ages 7 to 10. “The substantial majority of the cases are explained by this waning immunity,” said Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious-disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. In light of the findings and earlier, similar research, health officials are considering recommending another booster shot for children, strengthening the vaccine or devising a brand new one. But “there’s nothing in the pipeline that’s close,” said Dr. Tom Clark of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious bacterial disease that can strike people of any age but is most dangerous to children. Its name comes from the sound youngsters make as they gasp for breath.

Close the mortgage interest deduction loophole Letting homeowners deduct interest paid on their mortgages from taxable income makes no sense. It encourages taking on more debt, discriminates against renters, subsidizes one kind of spending over others and favors the upper incomes. It advances the questionable public goal of making more Americans into homeowners. And it costs the Treasury about $100-billion a year. Although the mortgage-interest deduction is bad policy on numerous fronts, neither party seems keen to take it on. The real-estate industry portrays any cross-eyed look at the loophole as a frontal assault on the American Dream. To their credit, Republicans babystepped in the right direction by trying to drop their usual support for the mortgage-interest deduction from their party platform. Candidate Mitt Romney has called for revenue-neutral tax reform that would lower federal income-tax rates while getting rid of loopholes — what is called “broadening the tax base.” (He refuses to be specific on which ones he’d close.) By leaving out mention of the mortgage deduction, the platform would push the message along. No sooner was that thought on paper than the real-estate industry went to work on the Republican Party. In its place was put a pledge to protect the mortgage deduction if tax reform doesn’t happen. Still, progress. Why offer a tax break for buying one product and few others? If you take out an auto loan, the interest you pay cannot be deducted from taxable income. If you buy a sofa on the installment plan, same no-deal. If you charge airline tickets on your credit card, again, the interest on your unpaid balance is not deductible. The social-policy argument for the mortgage deduction is that it helps Americans buy homes, and that homeownership stabilizes communities. The first part is debatable. Canada does not allow for a mortgage-interest deduction, and its rate of homeowning matches ours. What we see here is social engineering gone haywire. The federal government should not care whether you

buy or rent your residence. Because lower-income people are more likely to rent, they are left out. Because higher-income people are more likely to have bigger houses with bigger mortgages, they benefit disproportionately. Meanwhile, the deduction is useless to those who don’t itemize, which is most taxpayers. This incentive to buy real estate helped inflate the housing bubble. Sold as a tax haven, the deduction propelled ordinary folks to take out bigger mortgages than they should have. And their ability to borrow more let them bid up house prices to absurd levels. When the bubble splattered, and house prices plunged, many buyers found themselves owing more on their home than the place was worth. How stable is a neighborhood full of foreclosed properties? Here is a plan for getting rid of the mortgage-interest deduction. It would harm neither the currently fragile housing market nor the political career of any candidate with a modicum of guts: Phase out the deduction very gradually. If house shoppers know that a full deduction for mortgage interest is available for only a few years, that might boost house sales now. There’s already a $1.1-million ceiling on the size of mortgages whose interest can be deducted. Over time, further limit the deduction’s value. The housing industry will undoubtedly go through the roof, hollering that war has been declared on a rare (and much exaggerated) middle-class tax benefit. But closing this loophole could win wider backing if most mortgage holders are convinced that the value of the deduction they are losing would be offset by lower income-tax rates. You never know. Some day our political leadership may summon the courage to do the rational thing and treat real estate like any other possession.

She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

Equally important to elect people to Congress who’ll help Obama To the editor, The message to the American voter from the Republican National Convention was that the entirety of U.S. problems is Obama’s fault. However, I am of the opinion that President Obama could have been more successful if he had a governing partner. The Republican Party has made it its mission to make him a one-term president by using any means necessary. They have blocked his nominees, rejected the stimulus, and rejected the auto bailout. They rejected the American Jobs Act, the Climate Bill,

and the Health Care Bill all of which were developed from their ideas. The Republican Party risked a government shutdown, nearly caused a second economic collapse by threatening default on the nation’s debt, and used the filibuster at record setting levels to thwart the movement of legislation. The Republican Party said “no” to just about everything such as but not limited to the S-Chip Bill, Wall Street reform, and the Disclose Act. Let us not forget these things! We need a change in Washington see next page

LETTERS We are all being abused, though some choose to ignore reality To the editor, One party has faith that we as individuals possess creativity, perseverance, self-reliance, personal responsibility and the tenacity to make it on our own. The other party doesn’t think any of us can make it on our own without the government holding our hand. One party is led by our current leader who believes we had very little to do with building our businesses and that it was mostly the government that made that happen. He believes that our Constitution is an antiquated document which limits his power, so he circumvents it in every way imaginable. President Obama believes that our capitalist country has prospered at the expense of poor countries. A belief that has been honed by anti-colonial animosity and nurtured since his youth. Thus, he believes that we are no more exceptional than any other country and in fact, deserve to be knocked down a peg. That very belief motivated him to apologize to other countries and bow to it’s leaders for our many sins against mankind. David Harsanyi of Human Events presents us with a very concise Democrat belief in all that is good and real regarding a big, central planning government: “Government is the only thing we all belong to — but, don’t worry, you won’t have to pay for it”. More and more people believe this to be true as our entitlement society continues to grow and people become complacent and happy with the “bread and circuses” that our

beneficent government provides for us. Citizens selfishly and shamelessly believe that such a system can continue on ad infinitum and will never collapse. F.A. Hayek explains it perfectly I think, “The most important change which extensive government control produces — is a psychological change, in the character of the people”. His brilliant work, “The Road to Serfdom” explains in factual, painful and excruciating detail, how the model of socialism always results in stagnation and poverty. Modern day liberal, central planners deny history at the peril of us all. James Madison, one of the main architects of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, was acutely aware of what could happen, and is happening in our country today. His cautionary quote, “The essence of government is power, and power, lodged as it must be in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse”. We are all being abused, though some choose to ignore reality. I so wish James were with us today so he could knock some sense into the heads of our power drunk politicians while awakening people from their complacent slumber. To cherish and understand how unique and precious is our freedoms and liberty, sadly seems to be a core principle that has been lost in our children’s classrooms today. If we don’t fight every day for our essential liberties, and teach our children the founding principles, then I’m afraid we will soon die as a nation. I believe this election is that important.

First Student again holding yard sale to make Christmas happen To the editor, Dear Lakes Region Community: Well it’s that time of year again. The Tilton First Student Bus Company will be holding its annual charity yard sale and as always we need your help. We are now accepting donation for the sale which will be held the end of October. If you haven’t heard of this before what we do is hold a yard/bake sale and then find one or two (depends on how the sale does) families to support for the holidays. We get Christmas lists form mom and dad, then we buy all the gifts, wrap them and make our delivery. The family also gets a gift card to their favorite grocery store to help with their holi-

day meal. This will be our seventh year, can’t believe it’s been that long since the first one. Each year the sale gets bigger and better thanks to the support from the community of the Lakes Region. Drop offs can be made at our 558 W. Main St location from 6 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Big thanks to Trailer Rental of Tilton again for loaning us a trailer to store our items in until the sale. Please call 286-7434 if you have any questions or need help getting items here. Thank you all in advance for your support. Sheri L. Sprague First Student, Tilton

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 13, 2012 — Page 7

LETTERS Republicans like to win, just don’t know how to govern after

Let’s not climb back in the hole by deregulating the ‘players’

To the editor, All the Republican bellowing about the U.S. Constitution being violated is wrong. All the bellowing that blames President Obama for every jot and tittle that falls short of perfection is wrong! The Republicans don’t know what they are talking about. They are totally uninformed. The U. S. Constitution clearly defines the three branches of our government — the Executive, the Legislative, the Judicial and the function of each. Republicans, please listen up. The Executive Branch (President Obama) is only legally authorized to propose bills. He cannot pass the bills. That action is reserved for the Legislative Branch. There are two houses comprising this branch, the House and the Senate. The Republican controlled House of Representatives has either “sat on its hands” or voted “NO” to every jobs bill the president has proposed. To say it again — the President cannot vote bills into law! Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has made a public statement to “make this president a one-term president.” President Harry Truman had a name for such legislative bodies — “A do nothing Congress!” Yet President Obama has made some advances despite those negative head winds: the Affordable Care Act provides health care for 32-million more Americans, young people can stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26, insurance companies cannot cancel your health insurance if you get sick, the auto industry is alive and well, one war has been concluded and a second one is winding down, bin Laden is dead and doubling of the funding for Pell Grants

To the editor, That old New Hampshire motto is sort of confusing for some of us who live here and a lot of people who visit for vacation. They say, “Free of what?” Certainly not free of trade. We are constantly fretting about trade because the business profits tax is one of the main income sources for the state coffers. It’s one of the well kept secrets of those who take the so-called pledge. Those same people are constantly bleating about how NAFTA has taken our jobs overseas. The point that they miss is there is a collision occurring between protectionism and the expansion of global markets. The recession and a large trade deficit are feeding into the debate about restriction of trade. During our history, tariffs have not served us well. One of our first uses of the tariff was the Tariff Act of 1828. The industrial north was able to get it passed to protect their factories. The south, with very little manufacturing, was faced with disaster. The two main products were cotton and rice. Prior to the tariff their main trading partners were in Europe. They lost a good portion of that market due to the European reaction to the tariff. It was one of the “other” causes of the Civil War. During the next hundred years, we periodically relied on tariffs with very little success. During the Roosevelt administration in the thirties, the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act was passed. After the Second World War, additional global institutions came into being. Chief among those was the International Monetary Fund. It came out of a meeting at the Mount Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods. The IMF is charged with safeguarding the stability of the international monetary system. That is a tall order. Some of its members have been less than honest in their accounting practices and governance. The so-called “Cold War” was brought into being during the Eisen-

help young people get a college education. These are all positive improvements in daily life. The third branch is the Judicial. A group of nine justices determine if laws are in keeping with the Constitution. Some how their wisdom escaped them when they decided that “corporations are people.” Even a fifth grader with his/her simple natural sense of the world, knows that such a conclusion is wrong. Elizabeth Warren has given voice to the fifth grader’s basic wisdom — “No, Mitt, corporations are not people. People have hearts. They have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they love and they cry. They live and they die. Mitt and the Republican Party should learn the difference. We don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people.” Our country has suffered like a marathon runner with a heavy weight on each ankle — “A do nothing Congress” on one and, on the other, a Supreme Court that has made a piece of paper (corporate stock) into a person allowing unprecedented, irresponsible sources of money to poison the democratic voting process. Put the blame where it belongs — on the reactionary Congress and court! Republicans like to win elections, they just don’t know how to govern after they win, so we can’t let them win this one! Encourage your neighbors to vote for Obama and offer to drive them to the polls. Vote for and reelect President Obama on November 6th and let us finish the good work he has begun! David B. Hart Laconia

Classroom achievements never get the acclaim that games do To the editor, Dear Missy: Thanks for your fine letter. Now I know what it means to be, “raked over the coals!” I certainly don’t have an issue with the Inter-Lakes football team or the calibre of the players, or for that matter, football itself! My son played for Laconia High School and because he was valedictorian he received a grant from Dartmouth and went on to become a physician. Your son is an outstanding young man, as well! I’m sure he will be successful, no matter what career he chooses. My point Missy is this: While we extol the benefits of games-on-thefield, somehow the vital, critical, deficiencies in the classroom, get little or no attention — at least it seems that way to me. Laconia High School math proficiency grades are consistently from preceding page and the only way to do that is change the people we send there. As important as it is to re-elect President Obama, it is equally important to elect individuals to Congress that will partner with him on moving this country forward. I ask voters to support Carol Shea Porter and Annie Kuster in the November election so that they can assist President Obama in providing opportunities and progress for all Americans. Marcia Hayward Laconia

from 20 to 22-percent. This happens year after year. You cannot over-estimate the importance of this failure in today’s marketplace. Your future employer won’t care if your school has won 19 championships. He wants to know, “How much money can you make for me?” All the worthwhile jobs out there require math. If a graduate has no more than poor math skills, he/ she’s dead in the water. And Missy, that’s where we are today. Young applicants that can’t fill the jobs available! They’ll end up on the dole, and the State of New Hampshire will be picking up the bill. This country, once led the field, now is somewhere in the middle, when it comes to proficiency grades across the board — on a global scoreboard. Most of the trophies you’ll see in any school are for games, few for academic skills. Classroom achievements never get the acclaim and recognition that games do. I like sports as well as anyone else, but the entire school experience has been inverted (for too many people) where learning is no longer the sole determining factor in assessing a successful year, but the outcome of games will continue to be the drawing card! Good luck this year! Thanks again. Leon R. Albushies Gilford

hower administration. One of the effective tools that the “free world” had was the trade with the emerging nations of Africa, Asia and South America. Although the Soviet Union and China tried mightily to compete with the free economies, their efforts fell short. They managed to distract the west with Korea and Viet Nam, but the economic giants of the free world proved too attractive to the rest of the world. China is still trying to make communism work but trade with the rest of the world is making that difficult for them. In this current U.S. election, one of the political choices is whether to restrict or expand trade. As we have seen in the last few years, when the cost of doing business across borders goes down the pressure to permit more of it goes up. What some fail to see is that trade is going to occur in the world, with or without us. Withdrawing from the global marketplace would be a very bad move. Fact of the matter is, we couldn’t, even if we wanted to. Trade may enable poorer nations to grow faster than we are but we gain from the enterprise as well. What we should be concentrating on is making sure we have a stable currency. Why; because the U.S. dollar is the standard currency for trade throughout most of the world. What happened in the past 20 years should not be repeated. The control framework of the national and international financial institutions was relaxed. Deregulation of investment banks, insurance, mutual funds and global accounting standards spawned a group of manipulators. The sole purpose of those “players” of the markets was to extract huge sums from the system. The near collapse of the economy was the result. We are almost out of that hole. Let’s not visit there again! Bill Dawson Northfield

Regardless of your viewpoint, ‘2016’ provides food for thought To the editor, Several months ago I heard that the movie “2016” was due to be released this summer but since there was absolutely no hype about it, it slipped my mind. I was therefore very pleased to see Frank Marino’s letter to the editor and read his impressions of the movie. I was also happy to learn that it was actually playing at Smitty’s in Tilton. My husband and I decided to see the movie Sunday evening and arrived 30 minutes early. Since the theatre is arranged in a non-traditional manner with long tables for dining and comfortable swivel chairs, the extra time we had prior to the onset of the movie made it conducive to meeting and greeting the patrons who shared our table. I had a very pleasant conversation with Stella, the lady sitting next to me and we shared our thoughts on the presidential candidates and the upcoming election. I feel it is important to state that “2016” is not an anti-Obama movie per se. Of course, it is clear where Mr.

Dinesh D’Souza stands on the issue but it is not because he proclaims his feelings out loud or uses scare tactics to try to sway people’s minds. Instead, Mr. D’Souza’s movie provides a carefully constructed and detailed account that reflects Obama’s ideologies based on conversations Mr. D’Souza had with Obama’s family members, colleagues and associates. Mr. D’Souza also provides footage from Obama’s speeches which, if you pay attention, corroborate statements made by those that were interviewed. Regardless of your political viewpoint, this movie provides food for thought and is well worth seeing. It provides in-depth information about a man very few people claim to really know. If you love the United States, your children and grandchildren, see this movie with an open mind, draw your own conclusions and make your vote count in November. Irene Saad Meredith

LETTERS Even if you’re poor in U.S. you have a TV, a computer & cell phone

I have found Andrew Hosmer to be thoughtful, honest & ethical

To the editor, I have to laugh when I read letters or hear people talk about Keynesian economic principles and remind us of Henry Ford’s wanting to pay his workers enough for them to be able to purchase one of the automobiles that they were producing. In an age when most people worked long hour for less than a dollar a day, this raising of the wage made sense. Today America has about 4-percent of the the worlds total population yet we consume 25-percent of the world’s total resources. Even if you are poor, in America you probably have a refrigerator, a television, a computer, a cell phone, a microwave, and a car. In manufacturing we have difficulty competing on the world market because we pay our laborers more than laborers make in most other parts of the world. We have been blessed with this great prosperity because our culture was based

To the editor: Please allow me to tell you about Andrew Hosmer, our best candidate for N.H. Senate District 7. If you live in Laconia, or other towns in the district, you may have the opportunity of choosing this kind, astute, articulate, and highly competent man to represent you in Concord. Andrew is a devoted husband and father of four young children and a man of faith. Having trained and practiced as an attorney, Andrew is well prepared to understand the issues involved, the importance and consequences of legislation to come before the Senate. His current career in business, managing a good-sized small business, AutoServ of Tilton, also affords him the perspective of issues facing small businesses. He is

on Christian principles as were our laws. Liberalism now has eroded our culture and continues to stamp out influences of the Christian religion from our government. This is a no brainer, if we don’t turn these two trends around, our prosperity is going to vanish. Get used to the idea, our economy is going to start to level off toward that 4-percent. If we don’t honor God, why should he honor us? Many liberal types seem to disdain personal charity and portray our welfare state as fulfilling the Lord’s teaching for us to have care for the poor. Rather it is a retelling of the Lord’s parable of the Prodigal Son, except in their telling, the problem is not the son’s dissipation and need for repentance, but that the father did not give him enough. John Demakowski Franklin

Only a person like Romney would make a political speech on 9/11 To the editor, Romney and Ryan’s not-so-secret plan is to not answer any questions, change their mind every day or so and hopefully waste enough time to get through the elections. Their only problem is that nobody in their right mind will ever vote for them. Romney did mention a 5-point plan to success: Education, Energy, Trade, Budget Cuts and Deregulation. Now, here comes the confusing parts in my opinion. Education is to do away with all the unions and replace with for-profit schools. Makes sense to me as Romney has $1- million invested with son Tagg in Solamere, a venture capitol firm concerned with forprofit schools. They will also do away with Pell Grants and other loans and replace them with some of his lending donors like JP Morgan, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Chase etc. All these will give Romney more income. Energy independence by 2020? Fine except the problem is that all the oil and gas

is owned by the companies so they will be able to charge us as much as possible. Un-regulated means drill baby drill anyplace they can find without regard to any environmental rules. The president already has increased drilling permits SAFELY. The Keystone project only gets oil to Texas to distribute to the world. No good returns there. Trade agreements with Latin America are probably a investment return to the fellows from El Salvador who invested in Bain back in the 1980s. So the real secret plan is that there is none, just stalling until the election is over. Lastly only a person like Romney would use the anniversary of 9/11 to make a political speech especially after both sides agreed not to use this day for their own gain. 9/11 is a day for the people to remember what happened and reflect. Just goes to show you the type of character that Romney has. Makes me sick. Jon Hoyt Franklin

extremely bright and talented, yet humble and always looking to learn other’s point of view, needs, aspirations. We have known one another for a number of years, served together on the Board of the BCEDC and other committees, and I have found him to be thoughtful, honest, moral and ethical, good at listening and discerning. I have known Andrew both professionally and personally, and can honestly attest to his quality of character. It is this high quality of person that we need to have in Concord in order to restore common sense and civility to this great state. Therefore, I wholeheartedly wish for all of you to support Andrew in his State Senate campaign. Jane Wood Laconia

‘Only Thing’ video reminded me of Soviet-style propaganda To the editor, Finally a bit of honesty from the Democrats brought to you straight from the DNC. The Democrats have removed any reference to God from their platform and when questioned about this say “WE ALL belong to Government”. They started out their convention with a video titled “The Government is the Only Thing We Belong To” which looks much like the propaganda and message used by the Soviet Communists to keep their people in line. I guess my teachers were wrong because I was taught that the government belongs to US. I remember once upon a time reading, “A Government of the People, By the People and For the People” in one of our founding doc-

uments. I thought this meant that WE the PEOPLE own the government. I don’t know why I would expect anything less from a president that was mentored and received an education from an individual that praises Lucifer as being an effective community organizer that won his own kingdom. Everyone will tell you that there needs to be a sharp contrast between the candidates in an election and I don’t think you can get any clearer. You can vote for the candidate that still believes they work for you when elected or you can vote for the candidate who believes that they OWN YOU when elected. Greg Knytych New Hampton

The fool has said in his heart there is no God; are you a fool? To the editor, In response to James Gillis, the self proclaimed atheist: I’m sorry if I offended you, but when you see the mess our nation is in, its hard to

understand all the stupid, half-witted, brainless, foolish, dumb, idiotic situations our elected leaders have got us into — like 16 trillion dollars in debt. Now James, I am a Born Again Christian, I once was like you, but Jesus came into my life and set me free from the slavery of sin and Satan. My family, including eight children, love the Lord, and teach there children to love God. Now James, Christians are not under the law which the Israelites lived by (The Law of Moses) defined in the Pentateuch, but under the law of Gods Grace (John 1:17) Under the law of Moses all slaves (servants) would be set at liberty in the year of Jubilee, Christians are set free by the blood of Jesus-Christ, Gods son “period”. Now James, I am not trying to be rude, but Gods word says, (not me) “The fool” has said in his heart there is no God (Psm 14:1) Also the way of a fools is right in is on eyes (Pro 12:15), surely you are not a fool? see next page

Fire truck backers have another 5 days to ask for a recount of Gilford vote

GILFORD — Town Clerk Denise Gonyer said yesterday that the procedure for a recount of Tuesday’s vote to reject the purchase of a new fire truck requires a petition for a recount with 10 signatures within seven days of the counting. The fee is $10 and the recount committee would consist of the three selectmen, the town clerk and the town moderator. She said that as of close of business yesterday, she has received no petition. The lease/purchase of a $441,820 fire truck in Tuesday special, emergency vote needed to pass by 60-per-

cent of those voting. The yes votes on the article totaled 59.4-percent. Board of Fire Engineers Chair Bill Akerley said Tuesday night that if five people had voted differently the town would be ordering a new fire truck and he felt he owed it to the people who voted for it — 1,089 of the 1,832 people who voted in Tuesday election — to ask for a recount. N.H. RSA 669 states that if Gonyer gets a petition, she has no less than five days and no more than 10 days to determine the time and place of the recount. The recount, if one is petitioned, must be done manually. — Gail Ober

GILFORD from page one the DPW mechanic would be able to repair the brakes, the springs and the cab mounts and in the interim, he would draft a request for a proposal for pump and radiator replacement. Carrier said the estimate for a new pump from Lakes Region Fire Apparatus in Tamworth was $32,000. In addition, he said replacing the radiator and repairing the frame could push the cost of the outside repairs to as much as $50,000. “It may be prudent to go to bid,” Carrier said. Adding an additional $10,000 for new tires, a light bar and some electrical work takes the repair cost to $60,000 plus a percent for contingency “is how we get to $70,000”, adding that using DPW mechanics for some of the repairs would lower the cost. He said the old light bar would be replaced by a newer LED (light-emitting diode) light bar would reduce the power draw and would make the radio work more efficiently. Selectman John O’Brien wanted to know if a used pump could be installed and Carrier said he would create a alternative bid for a used pump and include wording in the request for proposal that would provide some kind of guaranty or warranty that a used pump would meet certification standards. “What can we do to help you?” asked Selectboard Chair Gus Benavides. “Do you have any money?” replied Carrier, getting a laugh from those who attended last night’s meeting, but addressing a concern as to whether he should wait until the next budget cycle and add the money to his maintenance line or begin immediately.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn recommended Carrier “hit the ground running” and said that unless the board was against using the DPW, it should be made a priority. He said if the board agreed, and it did, he could find the money in this year’s budget. “Let the chief do what he needs to do,” Dunn recommended, saying he and Carrier would have a written request for a proposal for board review at the September 26 meeting. Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan said he was able to perform the work on the fire truck but said he needed to get his department’s vehicle inspections done first and selectmen agreed. In other Fire Department news, selectmen voted unanimously to allow the department to spend $14,135 from the ambulance fund to purchase a Stryker 6560 Power Pro Ambulance Cot. Carrier said the cot was similar to the ones currently used except this one — a demonstrator his department is already using — powers the wheels and eliminates the need for firefighters to manually lift and lock a patient into the proper position. He said there have been five back injuries in recent years in Gilford and, though he can’t attribute them all to lifting, he said he believes the power cot would reduce the instances of back injuries. He also said the power cot would reduce the likelihood of injuries to patients because the locking system is powered and eliminates much of the possibility of human error. Selectmen also announced they would hold their annual budget work session on September 18 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

VOTER LAW from page 2 vote to sign a statement saying they declare New Hampshire their domicile and are subject to laws that apply to all residents, including laws requiring drivers to register cars and get a

New Hampshire driver’s license. In the past, students could make New Hampshire their domicile for voting purposes while maintaining legal residency in other states. While that is still technically true — the new law doesn’t require them to be “residents” — it makes them subject to all of the approximately 600 laws that go along with residency. “Students are left with either signing a statement that doesn’t reflect New Hampshire laws or being forced to give up their constitutional right to vote,” said Joan Ashwell, election law specialist for the League of Women see next page

from preceding page I am a fool for Christs sake (1 Cor 4: 10-13) and am willing to give my life for the gospel of Jesus Christ, many good Christians will be praying for you, be sure of that. My God Bless the U.S.A. William (Liam) McCoy Belmont

LIBYA from page 2 who also ordered increased security at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad. Republican Mitt Romney accused the Obama administration of showing weakness in the consulate killings, but the president retorted that his rival “seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later.” Some in the GOP called Romney’s remarks hasty. The mob attack on Tuesday — the 11th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist strike in the U.S. — was initially presumed to have been a spontaneous act triggered by outrage over a movie called “Innocence of Muslims” that mocked Islam’s Prophet Muhammad that was produced in the U.S. and excerpted on YouTube. The amateurish video also drew protests in Cairo, where angry ultraconservatives climbed the U.S. Embassy’s walls, tore down an American flag and replaced it with an Islamic banner. But a U.S. counterterrorism official said the Benghazi violence was “too coordinated or professional” to be spontaneous. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the incident publicly. The FBI was sending evidence teams to Libya, a law enforcement official said. Libya’s new leadership — scrambling to preserve ties with Washington after U.S. help to overthrow former dictator Moammar Gadhafi

— vowed to find those behind the attack. Interim President Mohammed el-Megarif apologized to the United States for what he called the “cowardly” assault, which also killed several Libyan security guards at the consulate in the eastern city. Parliament speaker Omar alHoumidan suggested the attack might have been planned, saying the mob “may have had foreign loyalties” — an apparent reference to international terrorists. “We are not sure. Everything is possible,” he said. A Libyan jihadist group, the Omar Abdel-Rahman Brigades, claimed responsibility for a bomb that went off outside the Benghazi consulate in June, causing no injuries. The group, which also carried out several attacks on the International Red Cross in Libya, said at the time that the bomb was revenge for the killing of al-Qaida’s No. 2, Abu Yahya al-Libi, in a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan. About 50 U.S. Marines were sent to Libya to guard U.S. diplomatic facilities. The Marines are members of an elite group known as a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team, or FAST, whose role is to respond on short notice to terrorism threats and to reinforce security at embassies. The Marines, sent from a base in Spain, were headed initially to the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli, not to Benghazi, according to U.S. officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity

because they were not authorized to talk to the press. The consulate attack illustrated the breakdown in security in Libya, where the government is still trying to establish authority months after Gadhafi’s fall. There also were indications that two distinct attacks took place — one on the consulate, then a second hours later early Wednesday on a nearby house to which the staff had been evacuated. The crowd of several thousand that descended on the consulate was armed with machine guns and rocketpropelled grenades, said Wanis elSharef, the deputy interior minister of Libya’s eastern region. A small contingent of Libyan security protecting the facility fired in the air, trying to intimidate the mob. But faced with superior size and firepower, the Libyan security withdrew, el-Sharef said. Gunmen stormed the building, looted its contents and torched it, he said. Details of how the Americans were killed were still unclear.

Stevens, 52, and a consulate staffer who had stayed behind in the building died in the initial attack, el-Sharef said. The rest of the staff successfully evacuated to a nearby building, preparing to move to Benghazi Airport after daybreak to fly to the capital of Tripoli, he said. Hours after the storming of the consulate, a separate group of gunmen attacked the other building, opening fire on the more than 30 Americans and Libyans inside. Two more Americans were killed, he said. Dr. Ziad Abu Zeid, who treated Stevens, told The Associated Press that he died of asphyxiation, apparently from smoke. In a sign of the chaos, Stevens was brought by Libyans to the Benghazi Medical Center with no other Americans, and no one at the facility knew who he was, Abu Zeid said. He said he tried to revive Stevens for about 90 minutes “with no success.” The ambassador was bleeding in his stomach because of the asphyxiation but had no other injuries, the doctor said.

SENATE 7 from page one tember 5 filing. Grimm raised $12,000 and spent about $9,700 on his primary campaign. “We set high standards and had high performances,” he said yesterday. When asked if he would publicly support Youssef in his campaign against Democrat Andrew Hosmer, Grimm replied, “Not a chance.” “I don’t think his organization would know what a moral compass was,” he said, adding this was not an excuse for his loss and that as far as he’s concerned his participation in the campaign ended last night. He also said was sorry that he wouldn’t be able to debate Hosmer

about the issues that both men believe the state faces. Youssef said he expects he and Hosmer will appear “in the same place at the same time” and bring their respective messages to the voters. When asked if he was surprised he won, he said he said his team always ran the campaign as if they were behind but he was “cautiously optimistic” that he would win. He said he plans on keeping his his campaign office at 406 Central Street in Franklin open and at some point in the future expects to open additional offices in District 7. “We’re going to continue to forge on and propagate our message,” he said.

from preceding page Voters of New Hampshire. Claire Ebel, director of the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union, compared the new law to an unconstitutional poll tax, saying it would discriminate against students who couldn’t afford to register their cars and pay driver’s license fees. “You cannot single out categories of people and then discriminate among them,” she said. The law’s backers, however, argued that it simply clarified that people should vote where they live. “A fundamental premise of having elections that reflect the will of the citizens of a community or a state is that those who vote should be those who live in the city or town, and certainly the state, in which they are voting,” House Speaker William O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon, said last week when the U.S. Justice Department ruled that the law did not discriminate against racial minorities. New Hampshire is among a group of states, including Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, that are required under the Voting Rights Act of 1964 to submit any election law changes to the Department of Justice to determine whether they would result in racial discrimination. The state came under the act’s purview because of poor voter turnout in 10 towns in

because it still had a literacy test on the books at the time. A hearing is set for Sept. 19 on the court petition. In the meantime, the groups are deciding whether to also challenge the state’s new voter identification law. Under that law, voters will be required to show photo identification or sign an affidavit beginning in November’s general election. A wide range of identification, including student IDs, will be accepted this year, but after that only driver’s licenses, state-issued non-driver’s identification cards, passports or military IDs will allowed. Someone without photo identification would sign an affidavit and be photographed by an election official. Poll workers did a test run during Tuesday’s primary and were supposed to inform voters without identification about the upcoming changes while still allowing them to vote. But Ashwell said her group and others have collected complaints from voters in about two dozen communities, ranging from signs posted at polling places incorrectly stating that IDs were required Tuesday to voters being sent away if they didn’t show identification. “It was rushed. The law itself was rushed in its creation, and then the implementation was rushed,” said Josiette White of America Votes New

Alden & Raymond survive Democratic primary race for San’ton/Tilton seats SANBORNTON — In the lone Democratic primary contest in Belknap County, Jane Alden of Tilton and Ian Raymond of Sanbornton polled the most votes in the field of three to fill the ticket in District 4, consisting of Sanbornton and Tilton, which returns two members of the New Hampshire House of Representatives. Raymond led the field with 343 votes, 215 in Sanbornton and 128 in Tilton while Alden trailed with 253 votes, 170 in Tilton and 83 in Sanbornton. The third candidate, Stanley

Robinson of Tilton, collected 174 votes 99 in Tilton and 75 in Sanbornton. Raymond is a professional photographer and principal architect and champion of the biomass plant at Winnisquam Regional High School and Alden is vice-chair of Caring Hands Assisting Tilton, chairs the Planning Board and serves on the Budget Committee. They will face Republicans Dennis Fields of Sanbornton, an incumbent, and Timothy Lang, Sr. of Sanbornton, a newcomer, in the general election.

Rolled-over car found in woods near Tilton school with no driver around

TILTON – Police are investigating a rollover accident that occurred around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday night on School Street just above the Tilton School property. Fire Chief Brad Ober said his responders learned the passenger was taken to Franklin Regional Hospital by a second car and not by his depart-

ment or the police. He said firefighters found the car about 200 yards off the road in a field just above the Tilton School. Police said the operator of the vehicle was not found when they arrived. School Street was closed for a short period of time while police and fire investigated.

SALON from page 2 zip-tied his girlfriend and her three co-workers. A half hour later, Smith let the employees go and put a bullet in his head, police said. “I personally don’t think his intent was to go to that scene and to kill Amanda,” said Sioux Falls police Chief Doug Barthels. “It was unfortunate that it happened the way it did. “Frankly, I kind of see her as a hero.” The escalation between Smith and his live-in girlfriend began Sunday evening when Smith was arrested on a domestic assault charge. He walked out of jail Monday after pleading not guilty. Heidi Weber was granted a temporary protection order barring Smith from coming within 500 feet of her, their 7-week-old son, their 17-month daughter, her 9-year-old daughter and their home. Smith’s third ex-wife, Delana Austin of Madison, said Wednesday that she had tried to warn Smith’s girlfriend, police, prosecutors and judges about him. “There’s no reason she needed to die,” Austin said of Connors. “I’ve been warning them. I’ve been trying to tell people. I’ve been doing it since I’ve been blue in the face and no one would listen.”

Weber in her petition said Smith became angry when he found out she had gone through the phone bill. She said he pushed her onto the bed and put his hands around her neck. Smith’s 17-year-old son and the teen’s mother, Smith’s first wife, filed a second petition saying the teen tried to grab his dad during the confrontation and was threatened. The incident at Cost Cutters was the first contact between Smith and Weber since the altercation, said Sioux Falls police Capt. Greg VandeKamp. Everything that could have been legally done to protect Weber and the kids was done, he said, noting a protection order simply orders no contact. “It is a piece of paper,” VandeKamp said. “It is an order, and just like a posted speed limit, not everyone is going to obey it.” Just before 1 p.m. Tuesday, Smith barged into the baby sitter’s house, grabbed the kids, zip-tied the woman to a chair and removed her cellphone’s battery. Four minutes later, police received a call about an accident in the salon parking lot. When officers arrived, they found the crashed car and bystanders attending to the bleedsee next page

SALON from page one bleeding woman. Smith went back inside, locked the doors and fired a shot that went through a wall and grazed an employee’s leg. She was not injured, VandeKamp said. No customers were in the store, but Smith tied up the employees and made it clear he planned to hurt himself. Within a half hour, Weber persuaded Smith to let everyone go. As the employees left, they heard a single gunshot, VandeKamp said. A SWAT team surrounded the salon and closed off three blocks on Sioux Falls’ busiest street. Just before 4 p.m., officers stormed in and found Smith’s body. Cost Cutters remained closed Wednesday. Outside was a makeshift memorial that included candles, teddy bears, flowers, handwritten notes and a pair of black heels with balloons attached. “It’s kind of scary. I never thought anything like this would happen here,” 33-year-old Lindsey Iron Road, who stopped to take a picture. Austin said she had tried to warn Weber before Weber left Smith. “I just told her, ‘For safety you don’t go back to him. Don’t tell him. Don’t do anything. Just don’t go there,’” she said. Minnehaha County court records show Austin filed protection orders requests in 2009 and 2010. Both were dismissed at her request. Records also show numerous protection order petitions filed by Smith against Austin, her family members and a friend of hers. Austin left Smith in September 2010 and went back to her hometown in Indiana. She says Smith filed a protection order falsely accusing her of threatening to kill herself and their daughter. “He’s a chameleon,” Austin said. “He could change his persona to meet whoever the judge was to make them feel like he was the victim. Connors’ killing was the second homicide this year in Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s largest city, Barthels said.

Visitors from Great Britain treated to ride & tea aboard Meredith man’s hand-built steamship BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — It didn’t start out as much back in 1972 when enthusiast David Thompson decided to hold a steamboat meet. Only four boats showed up. But, now in its 40th year, the Lee’s Mills Steamboat Meet is both the largest and oldest in the country and steamboats from as far away as Maryland, Virginia, Ohio and Ottawa, Canada, have arrived already for the annual meet, which runs through this coming weekend and will see 60 or more steamboats participating. Among the regulars at the meet is David Thorpe of Meredith, whose 25-foot fantail steamboat “The Wicwas” was first launched in September of 2002. Thorpe says that the hull, engine and deck were complete when he first launched the boat, but the boat lacked seating and canopy when he showed up at his first meet. Over the next three years he put those elements in place. “I’ve just kept working on it over the years. It’s a

never-ending chore and keeps you busy all the time. The second year I added the seating and the third year I added a canopy,’’ says Thorpe. Last year he added retractable skylight windows on the canopy above the engine so that they can be opened while the vessel is running and allow heat to escape from the boat and create a gentle breeze on hot days. This year he added a Windermere Kettle, a popular item with English steam boaters of the late 19th century which hold a few quarts of water and which has an internal coil through which steam is passed, bringing the water rapidly to a boil. On Saturday Thorpe and his wife, Marge, gave a ride to some visitors from England and brewed a pot of real English tea for them. ‘’They brought the tea and I supplied the hot water,’’ said Thorpe, who on Sunday morning changed the pennant on the front of his steamboat, replacing it with a Steam Boat Association pennant in honor of his new guests, John Winn of England, head of the Steam Boat Association of Great Britain, and Winn’s wife, Barbara, who were arriving later in the day. see next page

from preceding page ‘’They’ll miss the boat parade but we’ll be taking them out on the lake later in the day,’’ he said. Thorpe is both a mechanical engineer and electrical engineer with decades of experience in high tech manufacturing. He not only machined the original engine for his steamboat from metal castings but also built a second engine himself, which now powers the vessel. “I bought a fiberglass hull which was 24 feet seven inches long and has a beam of about seven feet and did the rest of the work myself,” says Thorpe, who has both a woodworking shop and machine shop at his home on Lake Wicwas, where he and his wife have lived since 1990. He made the deck, seats, and canopy aprons from white oak and used mahogany for both the lagging around the boiler jacket and for the canopy skin. Thorpe said that he had to customize the engine castings to create the kind of engine that he wanted and a few years ago converted the high pressure valve to a piston valve in order to reduce friction and wear on the high pressure valve components. His gauge system attracts a great deal of atten-

tion from other steamboaters, who are also amazed that he has made his system so completely automatic that he can go all day and not have to make any adjustments to the boiler. Thorpe says it takes about 45 minutes for the initial warm-up for his boiler and that he uses about 25 pounds of wood an hour during normal operation. The 4,000 pound boat has a top speed of about six miles per hour. He says that in the summer of 2004 he and the boat played a small role in the making of a History Channel documentary about the sinking of an ironclad warship in the Civil War in October 1864 titled “The Most Daring Mission of the Civil War.” He uses his boat frequently on Lake Wicwas where he gives rides to appreciative neighbors, and also takes it to Otter Creek in Vergennes, Vermont. He’s also taken it to an ocean meet in Essex, Conn., where he said it was the first time the boat had been in salt water and that it operated perfectly except for him trying to dock it with an ebbing tide. The meet will run through Sunday and will feature a big parade of steamboats on the lake Sunday morning.

BRIDGE from page one without tackling the project. Smith explained, “The city was expecting it to be done, so I stepped in.” Smith, a sophomore at Bishop Brady High School in Concord, currently bears the rank of Life Scout. Before he can go before the Eagle Scout board, which will review the merits of his project, he has to complete his “Family Life” and “Personal Fitness” badges. He may go to the review board as early as November, but then again, he’s got plenty of time. Scouts have until their 18th birthday to complete the requirements. Completing the bridge gives Smith momentum, though, and he’s eager to achieve his goal. In fact, he’s considering the yet more prestigious “Eagle with Palms” designation. After high school, Smith thinks he’ll enroll at the University of New Hampshire, where he’s considering a degree program in business. Re-building the bridge proved a more difficult project than Smith initially imagined. He started

in a strong position, with about $300 saved up from previous fund raising. Lowe’s contributed a $100 grant, leaving a gap of $150 between money raised and the total materials cost of $550. Private donations were used to balance the project’s budget. The project’s real challenges appeared once Smith and his father, Terry, began working on the bridge. The previous foot bridge, which Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunleavy said had been in place for at least two decades. The wood was replaced with new, pressure-treated lumber, but the parallel I-beams supporting the bridge was re-used. As Smith and his father found out, each bolt holding the wood to the steel had rusted, requiring them to be cut off with a grinder. Then, they found that one of the I-beams had twisted, requiring the creation and use of shims to keep the deck level. The Smiths replaced boards as they removed them, allowing the bridge to remain in use throughout the project. In addition to his father, Smith received help from see next page

WASHINGTON (AP) — The nation’s poverty rate remained stuck at a record level last year, while household income dropped and the number of people who don’t have health insurance declined. A Census Bureau report released Wednesday provided a mixed picture of the economic well-being of U.S. households for 2011 as the nation enters the final phase of a presidential election campaign in which the economy is the No. 1 issue.The overall poverty rate stood at 15 percent, statistically unchanged from the 15.1 percent rate in the previous year. Experts had expected a rise in the poverty rate for the fourth straight year, but unemployment benefits and modest job gains helped stave that off, the bureau reported. For last year, the official poverty line was an annual income of $23,021 for a family of four. While unemployment eased slightly from 2010 to 2011, the gap between rich and poor increased. The median, or midpoint, household income was $50,054, 1.5 percent lower than 2010 and a second straight annual decline. In a blog post, the White House said the latest figures show that government policies can help the poor, middle class and uninsured, while more work remains to be done. “While we have made progress digging our way out of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, too many families are still struggling and Congress must act on the policies President Obama has put forward to strengthen the middle class and those trying to get into it,” the White House post said. At a fundraising event in Jacksonville, Fla., Obama’s GOP rival for the White House, Mitt Romney, said the president “is the candidate that’s pushed the middle class into poverty. We’re the party of those who want a brighter, prosperous future for themselves and for their kids. We’re not the party of the rich. We’re the from preceding page

U.S. poverty rate unchanged; record numbers persist

fellow Troop 68 members Casey Walker, Garrett Shore and Austin Schinlever. Planning for the project began in April, Smith said. He and his team of helpers spent a total of four weekends working on the bridge. Dunleavy was happy with the finished product. The old footbridge had become a headache for the Parks & Recreation Department, requiring more and more maintenance each year as wooden components began to fail. He can forget about the bridge for a while now, and thanks to Smith, the project was completed at no cost to the city. “He did a great job, we’re very pleased,” said Dunleavy.

party of the people who want to get rich.” By total numbers, roughly 46.2 million people remained below the poverty line last year, unchanged from 2010. That figure was the highest in the more than half a century that records have been kept. The 15 percent poverty rate was about the same as it was in 1993 and was the highest since 1983. Broken down by state, New Mexico had the highest share of poor people, at 22.2 percent, according to rough calculations by the Census Bureau. It was followed by Louisiana, the District of Columbia, South Carolina, Arkansas and Georgia. On the other end of the scale, New Hampshire had the lowest, at 7.6 percent. Bruce D. Meyer, an economist at the University of Chicago, said it was disappointing that poverty levels did not improve. He described it as a sign of lingering problems in the labor market, even with recent declines in the unemployment rate. “The drop in the unemployment rate has been due in significant part to workers leaving the labor force, because they are discouraged, back in school, taking care of family or other reasons,” he said. Some economists were just relieved that the poverty level wasn’t higher in the struggling economy. “This is good news and a surprise,” said Sheldon Danziger, a University of Michigan economist who closely tracks poverty. He pointed to a continuing boost from new unemployment benefits passed in 2009 that gave workers up to 99 weeks of payments after layoffs and didn’t run out for many people until late 2011. Also, job gains in the private sector helped offset cuts in state and local government workers. “It would indicate the stimulus was even more effective than believed,” he said. The official poverty level is based on a government calculation that includes only income before tax deductions. It excludes capital gains or accumulated wealth, such as home ownership. As a result, the official poverty rate takes into account the effects of some stimulus programs passed in 2009, such as unemployment benefits, as well as jobs that were created or saved by government spending. It does not factor in noncash government aid such as tax credits and food stamps. David Johnson, the chief of the Census Bureau’s household economics division, attributed the betterthan-expected poverty numbers to increases in fulltime workers over the last year. He also estimated that expanded unemployment benefits helped keep 2.3 million people out of poverty, while Social Security lifted roughly 14.5 million seniors above the poverty line.

amacchia had a double, a triple, a homer and a walk for Boston, which lost for the 12th time in 14 games. The matchup of longtime division foes lacked much of the intensity that had characterized their rivalry in the past decade, gaining life only at the end after embattled Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine was ejected — along with outfielder Cody Ross and third base coach Jerry Royster — for arguing a called third strike. The game was officially announced as a sellout, the 787th in a row at Fenway Park, but there were thousands of no-shows and many of those who did attend were Yankees fans. They saw Granderson lead off the fourth inning with a homer and, after Alex Rodriguez singled, Cano followed with his career-high 30th home run to make it 3-0. Granderson homered again in the seventh inning after Jeter singled to make it 5-1. In all, the Yankees have hit 34 homers in 14 games against the Red Sox this season. The Red Sox made it 5-3 in the bottom of the seventh after back-to-back doubles by Saltalamacchia and Daniel Nava left runners on second and third. One run scored on Gomez’s groundout and another came in on Aviles’ pinch-hit RBI double. Jeter bounced into the inning-ending double play with runners on first and third in the eighth. After failing to beat the relay, he came up limping just after he stepped on the bag. Girardi and a trainer rushed onto the field as Jeter walked back to the infield. Jeter walked with them to the dugout, slowly, then was replaced at short by Casey McGehee.

Tom Brady’s wife likes fresh scar across his nose

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — As long as Gisele Bundchen likes husband Tom Brady’s scarred nose, that’s all that matters. The faint red mark near the bridge of the QB’s nose was no big deal for his supermodel wife. “Yeah, it’s OK,” Brady said, referring to his stillfresh bruise during Wednesday’s media session. “My wife likes it, so I’m good.”

There has been no definitive word from Brady or the Patriots on whether his nose was broken when he was sacked by Kamerion Wimbley in the second quarter of their 34-13 win at Tennessee last Sunday. He completed 23 of 31 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns. New England (1-0) will play host to Arizona (1-0) on Sunday in the Patriots’ home opener.

BOSTON (AP) — Curtis Granderson hit two home runs, Robinson Cano also homered and the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 5-4 on Wednesday night to remain tied for first place in the AL East. The Yankees finished the game without shortstop Derek Jeter, who left in the eighth after pulling up lame running out a double-play grounder to end the inning. Manager Joe Girardi said Jeter wanted to stay in the game, but he told the shortstop to go put ice on his foot. Girardi said it was a bone bruise, but Jeter said it was a sprained ankle. A day after Jacoby Ellsbury’s game-ending single dropped New York into a tie with Baltimore atop the division, the Yankees got all their runs on homers to remain there. The Orioles beat Tampa Bay 3-2 on Wednesday night, preserving the tie and dropping the Rays three games back in the division. David Phelps (4-4) gave up one run on five hits and a walk in 5 2-3 innings, striking out five. Rafael Soriano got four outs for his 37th save, but not before allowing a solo homer to Jarrod Saltalamacchia to lead off the ninth, followed by a fly ball that left fielder Chris Dickerson caught at the base of the Green Monster. Mauro Gomez grounded out meekly to second base for the second out, then Soriano misplayed Mike Aviles chopper to extend the game. But Ellsbury followed with another chopper and Soriano gloved it, throwing to first for the final out. Aaron Cook (3-10) allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out two in five-plus innings.

In Polyster Pajamas author speaking at Annie’s Book Stop

LACONIA — Catherine Dougherty, a NH native, is a former newspaper reporter, photographer, columnist, and Real Estate/Business Broker will be signing copies of her book “In Polyster Pajamas’’ with some lively discussion taking place on Saturday, September 15, from 2-4 p.m. at Annie’s Book Stop in Laconia. From the book,”Jean and Rosie, opposites in every way, are dealing with different aspects of their lives when they find themselves working side-by-side in the same real estate company. Despite reluctance, they also find themselves teaming up for some new midlife adventures filled with excitement, romance and plenty of drama. As they become better acquainted, a friendship begins to form. They laugh, cry, and even fight together. Until finally, during a slumber party and while sporting polyester pajamas, they entrust their lives completely to each other and share their deepest, darkest secrets. Through it all, they discover how truly wonderful having a best friend, at any age, can be. If you’ve ever had or needed a best friend, have wondered what life was all about, have been ashamed of something you’ve done in the past, or if you’ve ever lost someone you loved with all of your heart, then you must read this book.” In 2007 Dougherty founded the Cozy Cap Project, a community endeavor that resulted in hundreds of volunteers making and donating “cozy caps” for those undergoing chemotherapy. She has edited several newsletters, and currently volunteers as writer/editor of a newsletter for the Greater Lakes Region Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Besides writing, she enjoys reading, knitting, and browsing through bookstores. She lives in the Lakes Region area of New Hampshire with her husband, and is a member of the NH Writers’ Project. Annie’s Book Stop is located on 1330 Union Avenue adjacent to Barton’s Motel and diagonally across the street from KFC. The telephone number for the store is (603) 528-4445.

Artisan Festival debuts at Canterbury Shaker Village Saturday and Sunday CANTERBURY — Canterbury Shaker Village debuts its Canterbury Artisan Festival September 15-16, a day of artist and artisan vendors, demos, a marathon of modern Americana music throughout the weekend, and a yoga class on Saturday for the first 40 registrants.

It will be a lively weekend at the Village with Americana bands, a beer tent from sponsor Smuttynose Brewery and a collection of cool handmade things from area vendors. Children’s activities for the weekend include making corn-husk and yarn dolls, making delicious hand pies, and participating in a community mosaic project. The community mosaic project will be led by fine artist Lizz Van Saun of Kast Hill Studios. In addition to their own artisan pursuits, many of the Canterbury Shakers were musicians themselves, playing in a variety of ensembles. The Americana music roster is stocked with the best vibrant, modern bluegrass and roots bands New England has to offer. Concord area-native Jordan TirrellWysocki, Three Tall Pines, The Amy Black Band, The Crunchy Western Boys, and Chasing Blue are all on the playlist. The Saturday yoga class – available to the first 40 registrants for the weekend - will include warm-ups, standing poses for strength, seated poses for flexibility, forward bends for nurturing the mind/body, and breath awareness for energy and renewal. All levels are welcome. Those who have questions can contact the Admissions Office at the Village at (603) 783-9511.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Usually, the excellent qualities of “the one who got away” are mythically exaggerated. If that one didn’t get away, it might have been a whole lot of trouble. Today you’ll be rather glad you let go. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have tremendous wells of courage, intelligence and ambition. The degree to which you should highlight these qualities (which will attract some and threaten others) will be your main decision today. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When you get a touch moody (and who doesn’t from time to time?), the best thing to do is to serve the people you care about. Service has a way of surging your personal power -- and your mood. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your gift for teaching will be highlighted. You have a highly effective and original style. So it’s better to teach your own methods or adapt the methods of another for your own purposes. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Some people beat pillows to release their anger. Others yell in the confines of their cars. Today, you just close your eyes and exhale. Everything that needs to go will be released. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 13). You have amazing stamina and heart this year, especially concerning your pet project. You go when you feel like stopping. Keep plugging away, and you’ll win a prize in October. Shared experience in November bonds you with an admired someone. Schooling in February leads to financial improvements. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 2, 7 and 19.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your loved ones may be more touchy than usual as relationships enter a sensitive phase. Refrain from comment. Also, romantic decisions don’t have to be made today. Better to put it off. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll feel compelled to put yourself in the hot seat, though you’re unsure of how you’ll take the heat. This is the way to improvement. Whatever happens, you’ll be admired for your courage. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What matters to you is the feeling you get inside, not external validation. That’s why you’ll put as much effort into assembling your breakfast privately as you’ll put into important and public work. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may not always act like the most confident person in the room, but that’s because you don’t have to. You know your value, and you often don’t feel like convincing the types who can’t readily see it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The saying “choose your battles” implies that it’s unwise to pick all of them. But in the case of your current issue, your plan is only going to work if you don’t give in on any front. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You like what you know, and you know what you like. The only problem is that you haven’t seen it all yet. Expand into what you might like; give it a chance. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It feels like the good ideas are getting snatched up around you. Untrue. They were snatched up long ago. Now they’re just being rewritten. So why don’t you snatch up something from antiquity and rewrite it, too?

THURSDAY PRIME TIME

Today is Thursday, Sept. 13, the 257th day of 2012. There are 109 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 13, 1997, funeral services were held in Calcutta, India, for Nobel peace laureate Mother Teresa. On this date: In 1759, during the final French and Indian War, the British defeated the French on the Plains of Abraham overlooking Quebec City. In 1788, the Congress of the Confederation authorized the first national election, and declared New York City the temporary national capital. In 1803, Commodore John Barry, considered by many the father of the American Navy, died in Philadelphia. In 1948, Republican Margaret Chase Smith of Maine was elected to the U.S. Senate; she became the first woman to serve in both houses of Congress. In 1959, Elvis Presley first met his future wife, 14-year-old Priscilla Beaulieu, while stationed in West Germany with the U.S. Army. (They married in 1967, but divorced in 1973.) In 1962, Mississippi Gov. Ross Barnett rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s order for the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a black student, declaring in a televised address, “We will not drink from the cup of genocide.” In 1970, the first New York City Marathon was held; winner Gary Muhrcke finished the 26.2-mile run, which took place entirely inside Central Park, in 2:31:38. In 1971, a four-day inmates’ rebellion at the Attica Correctional Facility in western New York ended as police and guards stormed the prison; the ordeal and final assault claimed the lives of 32 inmates and 11 employees. In 1993, at the White House, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat shook hands after signing an accord granting limited Palestinian autonomy. One year ago: Teams of insurgents firing rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons struck at the U.S. Embassy, NATO headquarters and other buildings in the heart of Afghanistan’s capital, Kabul. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Barbara Bain is 81. Actress Eileen Fulton is 79. TV producer Fred Silverman is 75. Actor Richard Kiel is 73. Rock singer David Clayton-Thomas (Blood, Sweat & Tears) is 71.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My mom is 67 and pure evil. She manipulates her doctors, who don’t know the real truth. I’ve tried to remain patient and respectful, to no avail. My mom has pushed everyone away. She has no friends. Since my father died, she’s become severely depressed. I’ve supported her and stood by her after all the evil and hateful things she’s done, but I can’t keep doing it. Her sister came from Europe after a 30-year absence, and Mom treated her so poorly that my aunt says she’ll never come back. Now my mom has a boyfriend she met online who is 12 years younger. She won’t allow him to speak to his family members. She’s become physically and verbally abusive toward everyone. I know she must be mentally ill, but the psychiatrist is only treating her for depression. Do I need to go to her doctor and explain? -- Unhappy Daughter Dear Unhappy: We cannot imagine what would make your mother “pure evil,” but mental illness can cover a lot of difficult behavior. Some medications that treat depression also alleviate other symptoms, but this doesn’t appear to be the case with Mom. It’s OK for you to notify her psychiatrist’s office that Mom’s behavior is increasingly abusive, but the doctor cannot discuss the treatment with you unless Mom gives her permission. If you think that’s a possibility, please ask her if you can come along to her next appointment. Dear Annie: I am a college student working as a nanny for a friend of my father’s. They pay much lower than I usually charge, but I don’t mind helping out. However, this woman and her husband frequently arrive late. As I write this, they are two hours past the time they said they’d be home. Annie, I don’t mind having to stay for an extra hour or so, but they wait until they are more than an hour late before they call to see whether it’s OK. I have missed sev-

eral appointments at school because they are never on time, even if they promise to be home by a specific hour. I hate confrontations, and I like this family, but I am frustrated by their lack of respect for my time. How do I handle this? -- Frustrated Nanny in Florida Dear Nanny: This is your business, not a favor for a friend. Be nice, but be professional about it. Tell these people that you will have to charge more if they are late. Let them know in advance when you have appointments set up, and tell them if they are not back by then, you will have to call a substitute. Insist that they provide the phone number for an available neighbor, or you cannot stay. You also could say, “I’m so sorry, but I’ll have to stop working for you because I am too often late for appointments.” And when they promise not to do it again, get the neighbor’s number anyway. Remember that no one can take advantage of you without your permission. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Not a Fan of the Big Gulp,” who was offended that guests brought their own drinks to a bridal shower. Lately, I’ve also gotten into the habit of bringing my own drinks. I’m allergic to coffee, and many times, that is the only beverage served. Some hosts get offended if you ask in advance what drinks will be available, and I understand that they cannot cater to every individual. The people who brought their own drinks may have had a similar allergy. -Orlando Dear Orlando: That doesn’t quite cut it. When you are invited to someone’s home, it is rude to bring your own beverages, especially when they are large soft drinks in plastic tubs. Those who are allergic to coffee, tea, lemonade or anything else can politely ask for a glass of water.
