Retirement cost hike will eat up most of tax cap space By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Increases of more than 20-percent in the employer contribution rates set by the Board of Trustees of the New Hampshire Retirement System for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 this week promise to weigh heavily on the municipal budget here, adding $735,000 next year and $35,000 more the year after. For police the rate will jump 26.8-percent, from from 19.95-percent to see CaP page 12

Jury nullifies evidence against Barnstead pot grower By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — After three years of fighting and two days at trial a Barnstead man was exonerated by a jury yesterday of growing marijuana in his back yard. Douglas Darrell, 59, of 180 Shackford Corner Road was indicted by a Belknap County

grand jury in August of 2009 for one count of manufacturing pot. Atty. Mark Sisti represented Darrell and successfully argued the presiding judge should allow the jury to consider jury nullification — meaning that even if all of the facts of the case are proved to be true, if the jury believes that “the law under which the defendant is accused

is unjust, or that exigent circumstances justified the actions of the accused or (if) for any reason (that) appeals to their logic or passion, the jury has the power to acquit and the courts must abide by that decision.” After six hours of deliberations Wednesday and yesterday, the jury did just that. Previous attempts by Sisti

to get the court to suppress the evidence because aerial surveillance of his property violated Darrell’s state and federal constitutional rights against unreasonable search and seizure had failed. In Darrell’s case, N.H. State Trooper Christopher Huse was assigned in 2009 to serve in the see POT page 10

BOSTON (AP) — A pediatric endocrinologist at Children’s Hospital in Boston was charged Thursday with receiving child pornography. Dr. Richard Keller, 56, of Andover, was arrested at his home. Federal prosecutors allege that Keller purchased and ordered more than 50 DVDs of child pornography online. During a search of his home Thursday, authorities found more than 500 photographs and 60 to 100 DVDs of child pornography, according to an affidavit filed in court. Keller, who is also a pediatrics instructor at Harvard Medical School, was the medical director at Phillips Academy for 19 years before stepping down in 2011. He made an initial appearance in federal court Thursday afternoon. A bail hearing was scheduled for Monday. see PORN page 12

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Obama administration was caught by surprise by the ferocity of the Sept. 11 attack against the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the ambassador and three other Americans. Now it is bracing for another potential eruption of violent demonstrations in parts of the Muslim world after Friday’s weekly prayers — traditionally a time of protest in the Middle East and North Africa. Angry demonstrations over an anti-

Islam video already have occurred in Egypt and Yemen, and officials theorize that well-armed Libyan extremists hijacked a similar protest in Benghazi, where several Libyan security guards also were killed. The U.S. put all of its diplomatic missions overseas on high alert, and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton delivered an explicit denunciation of the video as the administration sought to pre-empt further turmoil at its embassies and consulates. “The United States government had

absolutely nothing to do with this video,” she said before a meeting with the foreign minister of Morocco at the State Department. “We absolutely reject its content and message.” “To us, to me personally, this video is disgusting and reprehensible,” Clinton said. “It appears to have a deeply cynical purpose: to denigrate a great religion and to provoke rage.” U.S. officials said they suspect that the see MUSLIM VIOLENCE page 9

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alarmed by the chronically weak U.S. economy, the Federal Reserve launched an aggressive new effort Thursday to boost the stock market and make borrowing cheaper for years to come. And it made clear it won’t stop there and is ready to try other stimulative measures if hiring doesn’t pick up. Stock prices rocketed up in approval. But economists said the Fed’s plans to buy mortgage bonds for as long as it deems necessary and to keep interest rates at record

lows until mid-2015 — six months longer than previously planned — might provide little benefit to the economy. Chairman Ben Bernanke himself cautioned that the Fed’s actions are no panacea for slow growth and high unemployment, and said the economy will probably need help even after the recovery strengthens. “The idea is to quicken the recovery,” Bernanke said at a news conference after the Fed lowered its outlook for growth this year. As part of its bold and open-ended plan,

the Fed said it would spend $40 billion a month to buy mortgage bonds to make home buying more affordable. That will be the third round of bond-buying in an effort to spur the economy, and the Fed left open the possibility of taking other steps to encourage borrowing and financial risk-taking. Stock prices rose steadily after the Fed’s announcement at 12:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average closed up more than 200 points, coming within see FED page 11

Talks aimed a ending Chicago teachers’ strike said to make progress CHICAGO (AP) — The city’s public schools will stay closed for at least one more day, but leaders of the Chicago Teachers Union and the school district kept talking Thursday, with both sides saying they were drawing closer to a deal to end the

nearly weeklong strike. “We are optimistic, but we are still hammering things out,” said Karen Lewis, the union president. Word of the progress in negotiations came less than a day after the school board

LACONIA — A team from the New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development, led by Commissioner George Bald, who is retiring at the end of next month, last evening visited with two dozen members of the downtown business community to pitch the advantages of tax credits to firms operating in “economic revitalization zones” (ERZ). The meeting was held at 600 Main Street, the former Sundial Shop building at the heart of downtown. Owners of the building have already invested a considerable sum in revitalizing the building and are looking for additional tenants. Established by legislation in 2003, ERZs are defined as contiguous areas bearing one of several characteristics. An ERZ may be delineated in a municipality that has lost population during the 20 years prior to the most recent census. Or the median household within the area may be less than 70-percent of the median household income for the state as whole. Or at least one of every five households in the area may have a median income below the federal poverty level. Or the area may include empty or under occupied industrial parks or vacant land land or buildings. Last year the city designated three ERZs — one downtown, another at Lakeport and a third at The Weirs. The boundaries of the first two coincide with those of the “tax increment financing,” of TIF, districts created earlier while the limits of the ERZ at The Weirs match those of a proposed TIF district. Tax increment financing allows municipalities to define TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed

value generated by the construction, expansion or renovation of property in the TIF district to service borrowings used to fund public improvements within it. Rob Barry, who manages three ERZ program at the Division of Economic Development, explained that firms within the zones making qualified investments and generating full-time employment are eligible for credits against both the state business profit and business enterprise taxes. Qualified investments include building, expanding, altering or repairing facilities and purchasing machinery, equipment or materials, other than inventory. The amount of the tax credit varies according to the amount of the wages paid, calculated as a multiple of the minimum wage, and the value of the investment made, following a formula prescribed by statute. Barry said that the Legislature has stipulated that the tax credits awarded in any one year cannot exceed $825,000 and that the maximum credit to any one firm cannot exceed $40,000 in any one year. However, he noted since the tax credits may be carried forward for five years, a firm could be awarded up to $200,000, which would be taken in annual increments of $40,000. Barry stressed that while the application process may appear challenging, he was prepared to shepherd firms through the application process. “We’re always willing to help businesses through the qualification and application process,” he said. Barry said that approximately 100 ERZs have been created throughout the state and between 10 and 15 firms have qualified for tax credits each year since the program began. In 2011, the total tax credsee next page

Former Plymouth State President Kasper Marking dies at age 88 PLYMOUTH — Kasper Marking, Plymouth State’s president from 1977-1983, died August 30 in Texas at the age of 88, after a period of declining health. PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said Marking is remembered as a strong advocate for firstgeneration college students and for a beautification project that renewed pride in the campus. “Many of the initiatives he supported are still hallmarks of the campus and of a Plymouth State education,” Steen said. During Marking’s tenure, the institution saw significant expansion in buildings and programs, including the creation of the Music and Theatre Department, expansion of the Business department, renovation of Silver Center and Prospect Hall, and the initiation of the Society for Scholarly Dialogue and the Sidore Lecture Series. “When I came to Plymouth the place was filled

CHICAGO from page one jobs within two years. An offer made late Wednesday included provisions that would have protected tenured teachers from dismissal in the first year of the evaluations. It also altered categories that teachers can be rated on and added an appeals process. Classes were to be canceled Friday for a fifth day. And the union called a special delegates meeting for that afternoon, when the bargaining team is scheduled to give an update on contract talks.Negotiations resumed Thursday with an air of optimism. Lewis said students could be back in class by Monday, a week after 25,000 teachers walked out. “We’ve made progress in some areas but still we have a way to go,” she added. “Teachers, paraprofessionals and clinicians remain hopeful but energized.” Following a late-night bargaining session Wednesday, school board President David Vitale was also more positive. But after a full day of bargaining, neither side had emerged to announce any breakthroughs. Jackson Potter, staff coordinator for the union, said a host of issues were still on the table, ranging from the evaluations to air conditioning in schools. “There’s a sense of urgency today,” said the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who stopped by the hotel where the negotiators were working Thursday and spoke to reporters. Earlier in the week, Jackson said the two sides were talking past each other. The new optimism also was evident among teachers who marched Thursday along Michigan Avenue. They were joined by marching bands and protesters carrying balloons, pushing strollers and waving Chicago flags. Among them was high school history teacher Anthony Smith, who wants the district to be fair and give all public schools the same resources so they can succeed. The negotiating points include a policy to hire back teachers who get laid off due to school closures. “One school being closed down because they didn’t give it proper resources and proper attention is unfair,” said Smith, a 25-year classroom veteran. from preceding page its awarded exhausted the statutory limit. While acknowledging that the tax credit may not be the decisive factor in a firm’s choice of location, it provided a benefit that could contribute to the decision. Chris Way, director of the Division of the Economic Development, said that the ERZs have proved a useful tool in recruiting businesses to locate in New Hampshire. “We use them a lot,” he said. Bald said that the program has proven successful and several members of the New Hampshire Senate would like to expand it by raising the annual limit on tax credits to $2-million.

with energy, and people really wanting to move into a number of different programs,” Marking said in 1986 when he recalled his time in Plymouth. “If I were to list the three or four most exciting things that have happened to me since I came to New Hampshire, all of them happened at Plymouth.” Longtime PSU Vice President for Student Affairs Richard Hage said he has great admiration for Dr. Marking. “He referred to our students and their families as salt of the earth from working class experiences, and to PSC (at the time) as purely American in spirit,” said Hage. “I credit Dr. Marking for transforming the campus to a community of caring reflective of his own humanism, and for instilling in all of us a commitment to attend daily to the educational and human needs of our students. Kas, as we affectionately called him, was our deeply caring friend who led us to a higher place.” “President Marking instilled a tremendous sense of pride and excitement at Plymouth State,” recalls John Clark. Marking asked Clark, then a member of the student affairs staff, to take on the role of athletic director in 1980. “He laid the groundwork for a number of campus beautification projects, such as the alumni green, and was a tremendous supporter of the performing arts and athletics. He believed strongly that all of these things are part of the educational experience.” PSU Art Professor Terry Downs also noted Marking’s positive impact on the institution. “He was a man with a vision toward the quality of life and of education,” Downs said. “From his creativity and leadership he left a mag-

nificent legacy in transforming this institution into the vital, dynamic and beautiful place it is now. His passing is very sad news.” Dr. Marking assumed the Presidency of PSC in 1978, after having served as president of Briar Cliff College in Iowa. Marking left Plymouth in 1983 to become Chancellor of the University System of New Hampshire, where he oversaw the development of a system-wide energy conservation plan and a study for introducing technological innovations at USNH institutions. “He was a kind and considerate person who valued personal relationships,” remembers Ed MacKay, current USNH Chancellor. “He built a foundation of mutual respect and dialogue among the University system, the governor’s office and the legislature.” Marking was born in Edgemont, S.D. After serving with the 11th U.S. Army Airborne Division in World War II, he earned a bachelor’s degree from University of Portland (OR), then a master’s degree from St. Bonaventure University, and a Doctorate in Education from Washington State University. His academic career spanned four decades, starting with his high school teaching in Idaho; his career path took him from Skagit Valley College to the University of Northern Michigan, Columbia Basin College, Minot (ND) State College, Briar Cliff College, and Plymouth State. In his later years, Marking would say that one of his proudest accomplishments was that, like his mother before him, he had brought his love of education home to his family as well. He is survived by sons Chris, Nick, Greg, Tim, Tom, and daughter Raissa.

‘A’ for agitation Before Lewis took control of the CTU, the union was teetering on bankruptcy and owed millions of dollars in loans. The previous CTU president pulled down nearly $300,000 a year in base salary and compensation. Local union watchdogs reported that top CTU officers and staff with six-figure salaries and bonuses also received: “... a monthly expense account for each administrator — officers, coordinators and field representatives — of $1,500; a car allowance of $7,000 per year (whether or not you have a car); 85-percent of car insurance and expenses paid; parking allowance; cellphone allowance; life insurance paid with union dues; and among other perks, a 53rd week of yearly pay for “working” over the Christmas holiday.” Lewis assumed the CTU presidency in June 2010. “Teachers union officials declined to provide information on Lewis’ salary,” The Chicago Tribune reports, but records show that she made more than $71,000 for half a year’s work in 2010 — along with compensation from the Illinois Federation of Teachers in 2011 totaling at least an additional $64,000 on top of her unknown base salary and benefits. When she’s not urging other teachers to ditch the classroom or organizing traffic blockades to impede everyone else in Chicago from getting to and from their jobs, Lewis spends her time trashing public charter schools and business leaders trying to reform our Sovietstyle monopoly in education. The results speak for themselves: While CTU members earn an average of $74,000 a year and are now spurn-

ing 16-percent pay hikes, 71-percent of the third-largest school district’s 8th-grade students can’t attain the most basic level of science proficiency, and nearly 80-percent are not grade-level proficient in reading. Lewis, a vulgar standup comic wannabe who has joked publicly about smoking weed in college, sneered at parent-centered charter schools that defied the strike on Monday as not “real” schools. Competition is the enemy of unionenforced stagnation. She also played the race card like a Vegas poker pro. And in a stem-winder straight out of the Barack Obama/Elizabeth Warren/Occupy rhetorical handbook, Lewis blasted the “wealthy” at a strike rally this week: “You don’t make money by yourself,” she hissed. Nope. In Social Justice World, you make that money by climbing up the public employee union ladder and extracting it forcibly through a compulsory dues racket that redistributes hard-earned dues from nearly 30,000 captive members to the union leadership’s class-warfare demagogues. It bears repeating often: The goals of the teachers union radicals are not academic excellence, professional development and fairness. The goals are student indoctrination, social upheaval and perpetual grievance-mongering in pursuit of bigger government and spending without restraint: 2, 4, 6, 8! One agenda: Agitate!

I have never been ‘aligned’ with Tea Party or Free State Project To the editor, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped in our primary campaign for the N.H. Statehouse in Belknap District 8 — the communities of Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton. People were so kind in their support whether it was putting up signs, assisting with our door to door campaign, writing a letter to the editor or making an encouraging phone call. I could never adequately express my thanks. Now, as we look ahead to the general election in November, we hope to spread our conservative message to all open to listen. In the primary, I clearly stated my stance as a conservative. However, it has been recently reported that I am “closely aligned with both the Tea Party and the Free State Project”. This is 100-percent false. I have never been “aligned” to either organization. This not because these groups don’t have valid concerns (I believe the

Tea Party has been very important in bringing conservatism to the front burner in our country) but because I am an independent thinker who doesn’t need any group or party to tell me what to think. I am secure enough about myself to not succor favor with any group or person — for any reason. I believe all candidates need to be very consistent to tell you, the constituent, what we believe and WHY. YOU get to decide if these beliefs are something you can vote for. This is the beauty of our republic form of government. I think it was very important to set the record straight. So, again, thanks to all who helped us to win on Tuesday. This “newbie” could never have done it without YOU! We look forward to running an honest campaign, clearly defining where we stand on the issues.

LETTERS Center Harbor police station bids came in $300k over budget To the editor, Dave Nix of Belmont is on point when he states “When politicians won’t take no for an answer we all end up paying the price.” Mr. Nix’s comments stem from his allegation that the Belmont selectmen circumvented the will of the voters in pursuit of purchasing the old bank building in Belmont. Well Mr. Nix, you should know that the selectmen in the town of Center Harbor are no better, as they are purposely undermining the will of the voters and grossly deviating from the democratic process in their pursuit of renovating the town hall in excess of the original budget presented to voters. And the people who will end up paying the price are the taxpayers of Center Harbor. Yes, after three years of advocating for a “fully functioning” police facility, the selectmen finally succeeded – a $1.07-million renovation to town hall was approved by the voters. Interestingly, the estimate finally came in from the construction company overseeing the project and surprisingly the project cost is $1.47-million — approximately $300,000 over budget. Being severely over budget, you would think that reasonable government leaders would make amendments to the design and remove any “wants” and focus on “needs” to meet the bottom line presented to the voters. But no, rather than eliminate a posh “break room” for three full-time employees or scratch the high-priced “sally port” which lacks any regulatory mandate, the selectmen have engaged in prime case of deception — annual successive funding. You see, the selectmen are considering trimming the cost to the renovations by taking the following actions: eliminate paving in the back parking lot, eliminate the building’s gutters, eliminate new shingles on the existing building, eliminate the partition in

the meeting room, eliminate the A/C unit in the meeting room, eliminate a boiler — all features of the project that will NEED to be funded in succeeding years, and you the voters will have to fund them. The selectmen have also proposed to revise the electrical scope of the project and eliminate the Trane air handling unit, which provides the ability to simultaneously heat and cool the building. Residents must also be aware that the selectmen have contacted the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration regarding the use of funds in other parts of the budget to off-set the $300,000 project deficit. In addition, they are considering using monies in the Repairs and Maintenance Fund, or any other fund under the supervision of the Trustees of the Trust funds. In this respect, the selectmen may use other parts of the budget and unrelated town savings to meet the $300,000 deficit. We all must remember that it was a $1.07-million project voted in and funded in one year through one bond and one savings account, not a project funded in annual successive years or a project funded using other parts of the budget — which amounts to a much larger project cost (and different project). We also must remember that the selectmen guaranteed the entire town hall be at least 25-percent energy efficient — is this requirement being met? Since the municipal government is devising ways to circumvent the will of the voters and defy the democratic process, I urge all Center Harbor residents to voice your concern or proceed to a legal venue which will actually listen — because it’s your pocket that is being affected. Remember, as Mr. Nix says, “When politicians won’t take no for an answer we all end up paying the price.” Let’s not pay the price. Derek Kline Center Harbor

Gilmanton teachers thank voters for support for new contract

To the editor, American needs to have its own Arab Spring. Someone told me that America is not a democracy anymore but a corporate plutocracy. He said even an armed revolution would not overthrow our government because the people could not fight our government’s weaponry. I read a wonderful book and cannot remember the name or author. It was about a democracy that was taken over by the wealthy. The plutocracy was overthrown eventually by moles working within the government system. The top leader, a mole, had to be killed in the end to justify a new beginning government by the people. Mitt Romney would have been better off to run as an independent and he would with his money. He could have bragged about his governorship in MA., instead of running away from it. Instead he has the evangelical right dictating to him and the war hawks making their foolish claims like Sen. McCain does that we cannot reduce the war budget. That bloated bureaucracy. And we cannot raise taxes to help our economy and we must deregulate, which was the reason we got into this house debacle bubble. We need to regulate more, get some regulators that have guts, like Elizabeth Warren. The Republicans are running on old ideas and it is getting boring. I think if Romney is selected, we will see a war with Iran. How stupid that would be? In this new century we need diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy. Forget the nation building, the occupation, the oil (in Iraq) which we never saw a drop of, and get our soldiers out of Afghanistan.

To the editor, The Gilmanton Education Association would like to thank the residents who took the time to vote at the polls on September 11th in support of the two year contract negotiated with the School Board and supported by the Gilmanton Budget Committee.

Also, if anyone thinks that one man/ woman president can change this polluted system, he has nuts for brains. After all, we do not have a dictatorship. I know the president wanted to get us out of Afghanistan, but do you really think the advisers from the Pentagon and Defense Department would allow that to happen. No, I’m sure that he had to compromise and put in a surge and then was allowed to give a date to leave, while more and ore of our young men are dying over there. If we, Americans, could organize en mass to march on Washington, DC and protest that we want to take back our democratic republic would this make them take notice? Those teabaggers are good for nothing and I hope they are elected out. To go to the Congress only to obscure any kind of going forward to help the economic condition of the country is criminal. There is a saying, “If you can’t help, then please don’t hurt.” Spending reduction and raising of taxes is the only rational way to start bringing this country forward. The Occupiers of Wall Street had it right. They want big money out of our government, i.e. lobbying, influence pedaling, vote buying and the U.S. Supreme Court allowing more big money to spread in campaign funds. I think big money is trying to get rid of the middle class, although it’s the middle class that are the consumers. I repeat again, we need our own Arab Spring here in the good old U.S. of A. P.S. If there is any system that could go private, its the postal system. This quasi-government board is never going to fix itself. Rosemary Mellon Tilton

when it comes to people’s views of same-sex relationships. He tells us “The vast majority of Americans are against same sex marriage”. Not really, Liam, if you would come up for some air. A June CNN poll showed 54-percent support same sex marriages and 42-percent oppose. An NBC/Wall Street Journal poll in May also showed 54-percent for and 40-percent against. Another poll by ABC/WashPost gives us 53-percent for and 39-percent against. A May poll by USA/Gallup showed that 51-percent agreed with President Obama’s endorsement of marriage equality. The Bible is not the Word of God. It is a collection of historical fiction stories by dozens of different primitive and ignorant authors. There is no archeological evidence or Egyptian records for any Captivity, Exodus or Conquest. There are no primary sources to support the existence of any Jesus of Nazareth. Its mythology mixed with the primitive beliefs of the times. It’s the fool who pretends to know what can’t be known. And that, folks, is why Church + State = Ignorance and Evil. James Veverka Tilton

Really? How convenient for a primitive goatherder from over 2000 years ago to let us know that. Liam, I was once like you, I was a born-again Christian. That lasted until I was 26 years old when I realized that the real fools were the ones who pretended they knew ANYTHING beyond the natural world. I can only mock those who travel from hoping there is a God and an afterlife into the complete fool’s act of pretending they know anything about the supernatural world IF IT EVEN EXISTS!. So in my thinking, Liam and his kind of religious fanatics are the fools because while not having a quark of evidence for their beliefs, they act as if they have a storehouse of facts and “know for sure”. Its an act. They are pretending. That, my friends is a fool. Smart, like a “Snake Handlers for Jesus”. No different than an Islamist fruitcake. Regarding Liam’s Bible-based antigay letter last week. I am not sure what planet or century Liam McCoy lives in but one thing is certain: he doesn’t know what he is talking about

LETTERS Is putting people in tin cans on wheels really about fuel efﬁciency?

In contrast, I’ve been fervent supporter of my town for many years

To the editor, Let me make one thing very clear with respect to which political party has the corner on compassion for humankind. Neither party has a divine claim on caring for others. Neither party has cornered the market on empathy. Regardless, most mature, educated and otherwise caring liberals are convinced that they have sole proprietorship on caring for others. So psychologically anchored does their belief system appear to be, that they blindly and blithely attack those of us on the right with the sledgehammer of that mindset. It is my belief, having lived my life on both sides of the political aisle, that today’s brand of liberals are not fully in touch with reality. Nor, based on my life experiences, are they as open minded or inclusive as they have convinced themselves they are. How else to explain the following death sentence in the name of “saving the planet”. As a good friend reminded me, “since the government demands ethanol as a fuel, the refiners are essentially forced to compete and pay for what’s available”. This has increased the cost of gasoline, reduced engine efficiency, caused damage to some automobiles and did absolutely nothing to improve the environment. My friend is absolutely right about this being a moral issue as this failed environmental policy has reduced the supply of corn for food causing untold death and despair to third world countries. Yet apparently, there are plans underfoot to increase the ethanol ratio in gasoline from 10 to 15-percent. Please, can someone explain to me why and how this government mandate is showing compassion for anyone or anything, because I just don’t get it. Speaking of vehicles and death, Jon Carson, director of President Obama’s Office of Public Engagement has begun hyping this administration’s new fuel efficiency standards. By 2025, cars will allegedly, have improved to the point that they will average 55 miles per gallon. This will supposedly save consumers $8,000 per vehicle. According to Michelle Malkin’s recent article, this “projection of savings” was reported by the NY Times who claimed as their source, you guessed it, the administration. Michelle reports that these wild eyed,

To the editor, I would like to take a moment to welcome Mr. Fink and Mr. Sylvia to the race for State Representative from Belmont. However, I must question their motivation. Registration to run for office was held back in June and those people that have a sincere interest in representing their district sign up to run at that time. Neither of these individuals did that; they instead only chose to run because no one else from their party would. Is that really the type of person you want representing you in Concord, the person who signs up only to push their party ideology? On the contrary, I have been a fervent supporter of my hometown for many years now. I was born and raised in Belmont and have chosen to raise my children there as well. I have served on the town’s Budget Committee, Heritage Commission and have spent the past nine years on the Board of Selectmen. In my time with the board we have worked diligently to keep the tax rate even while still providing necessary services and making improvements to the town. I have spearheaded the effort to revitalize our downtown which has recently gotten underway. I have organized town events and fundraisers. And now I am asking to be your representative in Concord.

projected savings are based on developing future, fuel saving technology. Oh yes, let’s rely on the government’s track record of finding cost effective, energy efficient technologies. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the EPA, the new fuel standards will increase the cost of new vehicles by $2000. According to the National Center for Policy Analysis, over 300 deaths occur each year as a result of reducing one hundred pounds from already downsized small cars. USA Today recently reported that new corporate fuel economy standards(CAFE) which mandated a reduction in the size and weight of vehicles has resulted in more than 46,000 deaths. Good grief, is putting people in tin cans on wheels really about fuel efficiency, preserving the environment or population control? Good intentions that result in death and destruction do not in any way define compassion. So, how do we get liberals to accept the limitations and destruction of their” compassionate methods” and join forces with conservatives? Those would be the folks who combine compassion with realism and care about preserving this republic. Conservatives, thought “Cash for Clunkers” was a bad idea and were given the label of racist for daring to oppose this plan by President Obama. A plan of good intentions that trashed perfectly good cars which could have been donated to organizations that will put them in the hands of disenfranchised folks. This program also caused an increase in the cost of used cars, caused a scarcity of used car parts, and resulted in a temporary increase in sales. People bought cars earlier than they otherwise would have, do to the incentives. They used money that would have otherwise been used to purchase other goods and services or perhaps saved or invested. It was a net loss and at the expense of precious tax payer money. Good intentions while using other people’s money which cause harm to others, all in the name of compassion, is not charitable. It is careless and capricious and deserves accountability and condemnation, not accolades. At least that is how I see it. Russ Wiles Tilton

Electing Maggie & supportive Legislature is a must for our state To the editor, With the primary win of Maggie Hassan, the Democrats have to battle to get her elected governor. Ovide would not even promise to restore the draconian 50-percent cuts to higher education. The cuts which have been made in support of primary education are going to raise the town property taxes, but not till after the election. A conservative friend who may vote Republican tells me that he is upset at the voucher plan, the attempts to end kindergarten, and lower the dropout age. He thinks that there should be state schools to teach automobile maintenance, and other trades for

those who have no desire or capability for higher education. This will prepare them for jobs that now require understanding of computers and other high tech machines. He also thinks there should be a constitutional amendment for an income tax strictly for funding education. Now that is the kind of bill that Ovide would veto. Electing Maggie and a Legislature that will support her agenda, is a must for the future of our state. You can’t talk about jobs without talking about education first. Kent Warner Center Harbor

I take the term representative very seriously. I believe our representatives in Concord should actually “represent” the views of their constituents, not just tow the party line or push some extreme ideology. I am running as a Democrat because of my views on social issues. I believe strongly in personal freedoms. The freedom to choose what we do with our bodies, the freedom to marry who we want, the freedom to spend our money as we see fit and the freedom to live or lives as we choose. When it comes to fiscal issues I believe in being fiscally responsible, after all, I pay taxes too. I believe that we can spend our tax dollars wisely and that we can work to make government more efficient and productive by looking at each agency and budget line closely, not by randomly cutting programs and services. I want to know what your thoughts are and what questions you have as citizens of Belmont and New Hampshire. Please feel free to email me at Rondo1369@gmail.com with any questions or concerns and I will be sure to answer them. Also please consider me as your choice to represent Belmont regardless of party affiliation knowing that I have Belmont’s best interests at heart. Ronald Cormier Belmont

Thanks for supporting my candidacy in Sanbornton and Tilton To the editor, We Won! I ran a contested but successful race as your candidate on the Democratic ticket for State Representative in District Four of Belknap County (Tilton/Sanbornton). I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation for the overwhelming support I received during this primary election. Thank you to everyone who voted for me. It was great to see so many of you at the polls; and to discuss the complicated issues that are facing us in New Hampshire. Some of you met me while I was out canvassing, and joined our campaign. Others knew me because of the work I did as chairman of the Energy Committee of Sanbornton, initiating the Honeywell project and obtaining a $1.2-million grant to complete all the energy upgrades at our six school buildings, which have saved taxpayers over $300,000 so far and improved our schools by $3.6-million, without raising

property taxes — and you’re hoping to send me to Concord to represent you. I would like to give a special shoutout to the Sanbornton Town Democratic Committee for all of their hard work and encouragement, for hosting the Meet & Greet at the Lane Tavern, for creating the large “Elect Ian Raymond” campaign sign, donating the use of the truck at the polls, and for all the many things you have done during this campaign. I know that many of you have spent hours — perhaps days — volunteering your time and energy on making this campaign a success! To my wife & kids — you are my support system and have always inspired me to take on great challenges. I would like to thank all of you. YOU made it happen! Let’s make it happen again in November!

Argument for voter ID would face swift defeat in the debate arena To the editor, I returned a few months ago from a decade spent living in Asia. While there I voted absentee in presidential elections with little to no hassle. This primary election is the first time I’ve been in a New Hampshire polling place since college and I had to register. Not long after returning to the state, I had renewed my license which required that I provide documentation to prove where I was living (a letter from the owner, a utility bill) and a secondary proof of identity in addition to my passport (my birth certificate). Thus I figured that state-approved ID would suffice. Instead I had to fill out

four forms. Four. Most perplexing was my proof of citizenship. Since I didn’t bring my passport or birth certificate (again, both of which I needed to get my license), I had to fill out an affidavit of citizenship. I just came back from Asia where I was a foreigner, had an “alien registration card” and couldn’t vote. Now back in the state and country where I was born, I have to prove I’m a citizen. (Not that it matters, but I’m a tall Caucasian with brown hair). Luckily, the two women working the registration booth were affable and helpful, making the nearly 10-minute see next page

MUSLIM VIOLENCE from page 2 attack at the Benghazi consulate, which had also been the target of an unsuccessful attack in June, may have been only tangentially related to the film. They also stressed there had been no advance warning or intelligence to suggest a threat in Libya that would warrant boosting security, even on the 11th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. “As we did with all of our missions overseas, in advance of the September 11 anniversary and as we do every year, we did evaluate the threat stream and we determined that the security at Benghazi was appropriate for what we knew,” State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. The intelligence leading up to the attacks will be examined to “see if there was any way of forecasting this violence,” as in any violent incident, House Intelligence Committee member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., said in an interview Thursday. But he said the focus now “has to be on finding out who is responsible and bringing them to justice.” President Barack Obama, speaking a campaign event in Golden, Colorado, also vowed that the perpetrators would be punished. “I want people around the world to hear me,” he said. “To all those who would do us harm: No act of terror will go unpunished. I will not dim the light of the values that we proudly present to the rest of the world. No act of vio-

lence shakes the resolve of the United States of America.” As of Thursday morning, there was no intelligence indicating that what happened in Benghazi was planned, according to two U.S. officials briefed on the investigation into the attack. Intelligence officials said they believe it’s more likely that the attack was “opportunistic or spontaneous,” with militants taking advantage of the demonstration to launch the assault. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation publicly. There is also no evidence that the attack was tied to 9/11, one of the officials said. But the Libyan-based militant group Ansar al Sharia is the leading suspect for carrying out the violence, possibly with help from al-Qaida’s main African-based offshoot, Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb. The officials said it may be hard to determine definitively which group was responsible, because many militants are members of both. Libyan officials arrested an unspecified number of militants suspected of taking part in the attack and they were closely monitoring others to see whether they are linked to a group. Despite the belief that the militants who hit the consulate did so separately from the protests over the film, U.S. officials are deeply concerned that extremists may take advantage of non-violent demonstrations to copycat the Benghazi raid.

from preceding page process less irksome. Yet I am left wondering why I needed to provide all the information just to vote — where did I previously live?; what is my job?; what address do I use to file taxes? And now I wonder what’s behind the whole voter ID law. How many people would actually risk a felony conviction to vote? Isn’t voter apathy bad enough already? Doesn’t research show that nationwide there have been less than a dozen in-person impersonations at the polls since 2000? One of those, according to the Washington Post, involved Mark Lacasse, 17, of Londonderry, who used his father’s name to vote for George W. Bush in the 2004 Republican presidential primary (Lacasse’s record was cleared following some community service). Now there’s cause for concern.

Better make a law. Add another element to the voting process — that ought to get more people out. Let’s see, if something like one in every 15 million voters attempts to “swing” the vote (while risking a felony), citizens better worry about the future of American elections. Sure looks like the New Hampshire legislature is worried about it. Now, sure, I’ve been away and I could be out of touch but I’ve been teaching, coaching and judging high school debate for years and the evidence and the warrant just don’t add up. The argument would face a swift defeat in any debate arena even with the best of rhetoricians laying it out. How it succeeded among educated adults leaves me baffled. John M. Rodgers Moultonborough

POT from page one state’s Narcotics Investigation Unit as a marijuana eradication coordinator. On July 10, 2009 at 1:30 p.m., Huse was in a helicopter piloted by Army National Guard Officer Christopher Monteiro. Huse’s affidavit said he spotted and photographed the plants from a distance of about 500 feet, however, in a hearing on the issue, Monteiro testified he saw the plants and pointed them out to Huse. After photographing the plants, Huse applied for and got a search warrant based on the coordinates provided by Monteiro. He found about 10 6-inch marijuana plants growing behind one of Darrell’s stone walls. Sisti argued unsuccessfully that the evidence should be suppressed in large part because Darrell and his wife said the helicopter flew so low over their property that they were able to identify the occupants and their livestock was disturbed by the noise of the blades. He also argued unsuccessfully that Huse’s misrepresentations as to who spotted the marijuana on his affidavits were “reckless” and were not justification for the search warrant based on them. With the evidence still in play, Sisti and Darrell went to trial, which began Monday. In his motion to allow jury nullification, Sisti said that Darrell is a Rastafarian and in Rastafarianism marijuana is “considered sacramental.”

He said Darrell the small amount of marijuana found in Darrell’s field was evidence that he never intended to sell it and that he was growing it for his “own personal consumption consistent with his faith of choice.” He cited previous instances in the United States — namely the use of peyote among American Indians and the Brazilian church Unaio de Vegetal in New Mexico where the state permits an exception to use the sacramental tea ayahuasca. Both peyote and ayahuasca are Schedule I drugs said Sisti. He also said the tiny plants would never have been noticed had not the State Police engaged in “questionable and dangerous aerial tactics over a private residence.” “In the state of New Hampshire,” wrote Sisti in his recommendation to the jury instructions given to it by a judge, “the jury has the power and authority to acquit the defendant even if the state has proven its case beyond a reasonable doubt.” “The jury man find the defendant not guilty in this case if it finds that the facts and circumstances presented do not warrant a conviction,” he continued, telling them they could take into consideration Darrell’s lifestyle, his history in the community, his religious beliefs as well as the governments intrusion into them. “All I can say is the verdict restored my faith in people,” Darrell said when contacted yesterday, adding he and his wife just wanted to get on with their lives and put the past three years behind them.

MAS-CON from page one bank of bathrooms. “We’re going to oversee getting this done, and reach out in the community for a lot of help from our friends,” said Andy Bartlett, president of the Laconia-based Mas-Con. Bartlett thinks he’ll be able to leverage his professional network to source donated or surplus materials, as well as labor and expertise. Bartlett graduated from Laconia High School in 1976 and played under coach Jim Fitzgerald. “I’ve gota bunch of friends I played with that are going to kick in. I’m going to grab everybody, pull it all together,” Bartlett said. Because the district’s plan was to have building trades students construct the concessions building at a later date, only the $75,000 cost of the press box will be added at this time to the goal of privately raising $1-million in support of the overall project. Although it doesn’t count toward the $1-million goal, School District officials said the concessions building, especially with its restroom facilities, will make the facility, known as Bank of New Hampshire Stadium, the most attractive athletic complex in the northern two-thirds of the state. The athletic facility upgrade is a piece of a $16.8 million project that includes the reconstruction of the Huot Center and a renovation of the high school, a project that is already underway and which will add 32,000-square-feet of space to the campus. New science labs are also part of the project. Several other businesses have made large contributions, including, Meredith Village Savings Bank, Eptam

Space is Limited

Plastics, Irwin Automotive Group and Irwin Marine. Smaller contributions are also sought, including the “purchase” of bricks and pavers for a little as $125, which allow alumni, students or fans to memorialize their support of the school. The bricks and pavers will line the walkway from the parking lot to the stadium. “This is an amazing in-kind contribution,” said Superintendent Bob Champlin of Mas-Con’s gift. “It is just like a capital contribution.” The press box will be integrated into the grandstand and will feature an enclosed, weather-protected area. Its roof will be flat, allowing spotters and television crews a prime vantage point. The concessions building will be about two and a half times as large as the existing facility. Within that building will be restrooms with five stalls each for male and females. The school currently relies on portable toilets at football games. Not only larger than the current concession facilities, the new building will also feature running water and space for refrigerators and freezers, making possible a wider range of food service options. The press box and concessions stand will join other improvements such as good seating for fans, a state-of-the-art artifical playing surface and plenty of nearby parking. Those upgrades, said football coach Craig Kozens, will add up to a facility more attractive and useful than anything closer than the southern third of the state. “It won’t be something you see at a high school level, it’s something you see at a college level.” see next page

from preceding page With all its amenities, Kozens and Champlin expect the site to be used by several youth sports tournaments. Those events will raise revenue for local sports clubs as well as attract crowds of people to the city’s dining and lodging establishments. Work on the concessions building will begin in the spring, and Bartlett said he would welcome volunteers who also wanted to lend a hand. “Anybody with a strong back, we’re looking for.” Bartlett said a significant percentage of Mas-Con’s employees once wore a Laconia High School football jersey, and that their experience on the team pro-

vided valuable training. “In our business, football teaches kids how to work hard, work together. Especially in Masonry, teamwork is everything.” While Champlin and City Councilor Matt Lahey, who has also been a champion of the campaign, were initially hoping to announce completion of the fund raising drive at the September 28 homecoming game, they yesterday were less optimistic. “The goal is when we’re done,” stated Lahey. However, he promised that there will still be some significant revelations made at the game. “I think there will be an exciting announcement at homecoming,” he said.

FED from page one 625 points — or 4.6 percent — of its all-time high. Other stock averages also surged. The Fed’s policy committee announced the actions after its monthly two-day meeting. The moves pointed to how sluggish the U.S. and global economies remain more than three years after the Great Recession ended. Thursday’s announcement marked the Fed’s latest dramatic intervention since the financial crisis erupted in 2008 and the recession sent unemployment into double digits. The Fed cut its benchmark short-term rate to near zero and has kept it there for nearly four years. And it’s bought more than $2 trillion in Treasurys and mortgage bonds to try to drive down long-term rates. Yet for all that, the U.S. economy is still struggling. The unemployment rate is 8.1 percent. And the Fed estimated Thursday that the rate will fall no lower

than 7.6 percent in 2013. The Fed’s latest actions came a week after the European Central Bank announced its most ambitious plan yet to ease Europe’s financial crisis by buying unlimited amounts of government bonds to help countries manage their debts. With less than eight weeks until Election Day, the economy remains the top issue on most voters’ minds. Many Republicans have been critical of the Fed’s continued efforts to drive interest rates lower, saying they fear it could ignite inflation. Asked at his news conference whether the Fed considered the impact of its actions on the presidential election, Bernanke said: “We make our decisions based entirely on the state of the economy. ... We just don’t take those factors into account.” The Fed also lowered its outlook for economic growth this year, though it was more optimistic about the next two years.

GILMANTON — In the first vote since the School District adopted official ballot voting (SB-2), voters on Tuesday approved the contract negotiated between the School Board and Gilmanton Education Association by a margin of 376 in favor and 325 against. The close vote perhaps reflected the high turnout among conservatives voting the contested Republican primaries on the ballot, particularly the New Hampshire Senate race in District 6, won by Sam Cataldo of Farmington over Dick Green of Rochester and the race for the House of Representatives in District 8 (Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton) won by Jane Cormier over Peter Bolster. At the annual School District Meeting in March, voters scuttled the first contract proposal, which included salary increases of $37,006 in 2012-2013

Gilford police say Laconia man arrested while loading child care center’s playground equipment into stolen mini-van GILFORD — Police arrested a 28-year-old Laconia man late Wednesday night who was allegedly driving a 2002 Dodge Caravan that had been reported stolen in Laconia. Lt. James Leach said police responded to a report of an intoxicated man in the Walmart parking and later found Tyler Bissette, 28, of 60 Pearl St. on Intervale Road in front of the High Spirits Childcare Center. Police said he was “actively loading items from... High Spirits Childcare into the vehicle.” Bissette initially gave police a false name but was identified by them. He is charged with one felony count of receiving CAP from page one 25.30-percent. For firefighters the rate will rise 21.1-percent, from 22.89-percent to 27.74-percent. And for Group 1 employees the rate will climb 22.3-percent, from 8.8-percent to 10.77-percent. City Manger Scott Myers estimates that altogether the higher rates for the three categories of city employees represent an increased cost to the city of approximately $350,000 in the next fiscal year. The rate for teachers will increase 25.3-percent, from 11.3-percent to 14.16-percent, which is expected to add about $385,000 to the School District budget next year. The annual allowable increase in the total amount of money raised locally by property taxes is limited by the tax cap. The cap limits the annual increase in total amount raised by property taxes to the rate of inflation, measured by the Consumer Price Index — Urban (CPIU), for the prior calendar year, plus an additional amount tied to the value of new construction, which is calculated by multiplying the value of building permits less the value of demolition permits issued between April 1 and March 31 by the prior year’s property tax rate. Applying what he called “conservative estimates,” Myers projected that the CPIU would end the year at two-percent, compared to 3.2-percent a year ago.

He projected the value of new construction, which reached $6.2-million during the first five months of the property tax year, would close the year at $12-million, compared to $18-million last year. On these assumptions, Myers calculated that to comply with tax cap in 2013-2014 the city and the School District could not increase their shares of the amount raised by property taxes by more than $405,000 and $540,000 respectively. Put another way, the increase in retirement contributions would represent 86-percent and 71-percent of the allowable increase in the commitment of the city and school respectively, leaving the city $55,000 and the school district $155,000 to meet other increased expenses. Meyers noted that the cost of contractual obligations, particularly retirement contributions and health insurance premiums, which must be funded, are rising at a much faster pace than the CPIU, the principal factor in calculating the property tax cap. As long as the rate of inflation remains low and the pace of construction slow, compensation and benefits will consume a growing share of the annual increase in the tax commitment. And without increases in other sources of revenue, either other expenses must be reduced or the tax cap must be overridden to accommodate rising payroll costs.

PORN from page one If convicted, Keller faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years and up to 20 years in prison.

The hospital said in a statement that hospital officials, after learning of the allegations, immediately placed Keller on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. The hospital said no complaints or concerns have been expressed by any patients or family members about the care Keller provided to them at Children’s. Paige Kelly, a federal public defender who represented Keller in court Thursday, didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.

N.H. liquor enforcement chief says lobbyist was illegally hired to fight grocery store bill CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Liquor Commission leaders and the chief of liquor enforcement are clashing over the hiring of a beer industry lobbyist. Commissioners testifying at a legislative committee hearing Wednesday said Clark Corson was hired to do a study, not lobby, which would have been illegal. They said Corson was asked to do market research on the sale of beer in four state liquor stores.

But Eddie Edwards, chief of the liquor enforcement division, testified that he believed Corson was hired to illegally lobby against a bill expanding liquor sales to grocery stores. Edwards said he got confusing explanations when he brought his concerns to the three-member commission. WMUR-TV reports the committee plans more meetings and plans to issue a report in November.

UNH system offers to hold line on tuition for restoration of $100k cut from budget NASHUA (AP) — The University System of New Hampshire board of trustees has pledged to freeze tuition for in-state students for the next two years if the Legislature restores $100 million in cuts over that time. The trustees approved the budget request to the governor at a meeting in Portsmouth on Tuesday. They said the restoration of state funding is vital to the university system’s abil-

ity to provide an affordable education and keep the state’s workforce strong. The Telegraph of Nashua reported no one at the meeting discussed lowering tuition for in-state students. The Legislature cut funding nearly in half for the university system in its twoyear budget in 2011. Lawmakers said the cuts were necessary to balance the budget and restore order to a university system that had grown bloated.

Red Sox no help to O’s; lose to Yankees 2-0 BOSTON (AP) — Derek Jeter shook off an injury to tie Willie Mays for 10th place on the career hits list, backing Phil Hughes and helping the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 2-0 Thursday night to maintain a share of the AL East lead. New York won consecutive games for the first time in a month and kept pace with the Baltimore Orioles, who completed a three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with a 3-2, 14-inning win. Hughes (15-12) retired his first 10 batters and gave up five hits in 7 1-3 innings. He struck out seven, walked one and allowed just three runners past first base, ending a streak of seven straight starts in which he allowed home runs. Hughes has given up two or fewer runs in five of his last six starts. Rafael Soriano pitched the ninth for his 38th save in 41 chances.

aily Open D m :30p 8am-6

Jeter started at designated hitter after leaving Wednesday night’s 5-4 win when he pulled up lame lunging for first base trying to avoid a doubleplay grounder in the eighth. He was 0 for 3 then blooped a runscoring single to center field in the seventh inning for the 3,283rd hit of his career to match Mays. Eddie Collins is next at 3,313. New York, which led the division by 10 games before play on July 19, went 5-5 on a trip to Tampa Bay, Baltimore and Boston. After winning back to back for the first time since taking three straight from Texas over Aug. 13-15, the Yankees return home for nine games against the Rays, Toronto and Oakland, then play three games at Minnesota and four at Toronto before finishing up with a three-game series in the Bronx against Boston.

Laconia Leafs host 3-day Jamboree starting today LACONIA — The Laconia Leafs will be hosting a three-day jamboree starting Friday at the Laconia Ice Arena which will feature both the Atlantic Junior Hockey League Leafs and the Leafs Metropolitan Junior Hockey League (MJHL) team. There will be seven games over the weekend featuring the Eastern Kodiaks, Mass Mariners, Maine Moose and the New Jersey Raiders. The Leafs have a new head coach this year, Joe Cardarelli, and expectations are high according to Will Fay, general manager of the Leafs. “Throughout our national search for our new coach, we found that Joe is someone who embodies everything we wanted in our next leader. As an outstanding coach and an individual, he understands the importance of student being first a student-athlete. I know he will be able to take our program back to

a higher level and compete for championships in the tradition that is Leafs hockey. Last season Joe was a driving force in bringing The Yellowstone Quake (Cody, Wyoming) to the league semi finals. Through his tireless efforts of recruiting and rebuilding the program’s culture, coach Cardarelli not only brought up the teams position in the league, he also helped to raise the team’s position within the community. It should truly be interesting to see what he will be able to accomplish here in Laconia,’’ said Fay. Cardarelli is also excited about this team stating, “We’ve expanded our recruiting reach from coast-tocoast to find a good mix of experienced older junior players and younger, talented players who will develop over the course of the season.” Steven Kelly is one of the youngest of the athletes see next page

Loon Center hosting invasive plants program MOULTONBOROUGH — On Thursday, September 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the Loon Center in Moultonborough, the Lakes Region Chapter of the Audubon Society of New Hampshire will feature a presentation titled “Invasive Plants in New Hampshire” Exotic invasive plants are replacing native plants in many forests and fields throughout our region. These plants, such as Common Buckthorn, Autumn Olive, and Multiflora Rose, have various impacts on wildlife habitat. Matt Tarr, Wildlife Specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension, will explain why the conclusion that invasive plants degrade wildlife habitat is oversimplified. This program will also provide background on invasive plant ecology and control, and strategies that will keep invasive plants in check. Tarr is originally from Hancock, and he currently lives in Barrington with his wife Tracy. He completed an M.S. in Wildlife Ecology from UNH in 1999. While in graduate school he was the manager of the UNH Wildlife Research Facility in Brentwood and he studied winter supplemental feeding of deer in northern NH. After graduate school Tarr worked in temporary positions with the NH Division of Forest and Lands and with Extension as Assistant Rockingham County Forester. He worked in the private sector as a forester and wildlife biologist before assuming the role of Rockingham County Forester in 2002. The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs from Route 109 or from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School. Refreshments will be served.

Lakes Region Community Services hosts open house LACONIA – On Wednesday September 19, from 4-6 p.m., Lakes Region Community Services will have an Open House for its new office location, 719 North Main Street, in downtown Laconia. In 2009, Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) was awarded the Federal Building as the site for its administrative offices. In December 2011, LRCS was able to occupy the building and began the renovations necessary for relocation to this site. LRCS moved into the building in June. The office, located at 719 North Main St., Laconia, is also the home of the Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region. “We are very pleased that we have moved into our new building and I am extremely happy to be in downtown Laconia,” said LRCS Executive Director Christine Santaniello. “As with any renovation, this turned out to be a bit more complicated than we first anticipated,” continued Santaniello. “We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the NH Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) on funding this project.” LRCS has been able to finance the necessary renovations through a combination of grants and fundraising. To complete this move, LRCS secured funding from: Energy Enterprise Fund Grant, Energy Audit Grant, a Community Development Block Grant, and a grant through USDA/Rural Development, and Tax Credits. Through a competitive process, LRCS was awarded $956,250 in tax credits from CDFA. The Tax Credit is an effective way for businesses to support LRCS. Simply stated, the Tax Credit Program enables a business to significantly increase their community impact by leveraging the tax dollars they would pay to the state and federal government. “We have exceeded the half-way mark with the sale of our tax credits and we have until March 31, 2013 to sell the remaining,” said Santaniello. “We’re so grateful to the local businesses who have partnered with us thus far including Bank of New Hampshire, AutoServ of New Hampshire, Franklin Savings Bank, Melcher & Prescott Insurance, Northway Bank, Leone, McDonnell & Roberts, PA,

Beginner & advanced Forest Society, regional conservation groups launch dog obedience classes plan to protect water quality in the Lakes Region offered in Laconia LACONIA — The Adult Education program will be offering Beginner and Advanced Dog Obedience classes starting on Wednesday, Sept. 26. Classes will meet for eight weeks in the Woodland Heights Elementary School Gym in Laconia. Beginner Class will meet from 6-7 p.m. and the Advanced Class from 7-8 p.m.The classes will be taught by John and Carolyn Bancroft. No dog is too young, too small or too old to enter the Beginner Dog Obedience Class. Your dog will learn to walk beside you on the leash without pulling, come when called, sit, lie down, stand, and stay where you command it to stay. Owners will also learn how to communicate with their pets. The Advanced Dog Obedience Class is designed for those dogs that are ready to begin training off a leash, learning verbal and hand signals. Your dog will learn to interact with other dogs, but pay attention to your instructions. This class also prepares pet handlers and their dogs to enter the obedience trials and show. All dogs must be current with rabies and distemper shots. Documentation must be provided prior to registration. To register for the classes call the Laconia Adult Education Office at 524-5712.

CONCORD — This fall the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests and regional land conservation groups are holding a series of public information sessions on a new land protection blueprint for the Lakes Region of New Hampshire. Developed by state and local conservation experts, the new plan aims to protect water quality in the region by prioritizing the most critical forests and shorefront lands to conserve over the next decade. The Lakes Region comprises about 20 percent of New Hampshire’s land area but contains roughly 50 percent of the state’s surface water. It is also the state’s fastest-growing region in terms of population and land development. The plan was developed by the Forest Society and its partners strictly as a guide for voluntary conservation by landowners interested in protecting their land. Members of the public interested in learning more about the Lakes Region land conservation plan are encouraged to attend one or more of the evening information sessions listed below. Landowners who are interested in learning more about their conservation options and how their lands may fit into the new plan are especially encouraged to attend. All meetings will be held from 7-9 p.m. — Thursday Sept. 20 - Lake Winnipesaukee South, Gilford Town Hall, 47 Cherry Valley Road, Gilford, Co-sponsored by the Lakes Region Conser-

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a teenager in high school with two close friends, “Emma” and “Vienna.” Emma was recently diagnosed with OCD and bipolar disorder. Ever since the diagnosis, there have been many conflicts. Emma is now really sensitive, and if Vienna or I say anything even mildly offensive, she gets super-angry. This past summer, we all worked at a local kids’ camp. When one of the instructors joked around, Emma took it seriously and became upset. She then talked with the instructor and his boss. All I know is that it didn’t end well, and Emma quit. I will often get a call from Emma saying she is lonely and needs someone to talk to. She likes to reminisce, regretting things she said and did in the past. I try to comfort her by keeping her company. I have just started a new high school and am no longer with Emma and Vienna. Emma insists that I will ditch them for new friends, making them both feel like they have done something wrong. Vienna and I know we can’t begin to understand what it’s like to have both OCD and bipolar disorder, but we can’t live like this. We are always worrying about Emma and don’t know what to do. -- A Worried Friend Dear Friend: Those with bipolar disorder often have periods of depression. If Emma also has OCD, she may become fixated on certain negative thoughts during these times. While you can be reassuring and supportive, there is only so much you can do to combat Emma’s innate doubts. We trust that her parents are making sure that she is getting appropriate medical care. Please try to be patient with her, but understand that not all friendships survive high school. Dear Annie: I know you’ve covered this topic before, but please do it again. I work in a small office. One person douses herself in perfume. It makes my eyes water and my nose run, and sometimes I have sneezing fits. Everyone comments

about it behind her back, but no one will bring it up to her face, although I have casually mentioned it to her in conversation a few times. Why don’t people understand that the workplace is not the place to overdo the strong scents? They should save it for their husbands or boyfriends at home. Years ago, my doctor told me he had a patient who was so sensitive to scents that she had an allergic attack and died -- right in the hospital. My doctor now makes his employees sign a letter of agreement not to wear any type of cologne or perfume to work, or it could be grounds for dismissal. Please tell these people that although they may believe they smell great, they actually reek. -- Suffocating in Louisville Dear Suffocating: Some folks have a diminished sense of smell and do not realize how strong their perfume is. Those who insist on wearing a scent should remember that a drop is sufficient. And with so many folks suffering from allergies these days, one really must be careful. If you have supervisors or a human resources department, please ask whether a notice can go out suggesting that employees not wear perfumes. Otherwise, approach your coworker and say, “I’m sure you don’t realize how overpowering your cologne is. I have terrible allergies and am very sensitive. Could you please not wear it at the office?” Dear Annie: You printed responses to the letter from “Speechless in Omaha,” whose friend never stopped talking. When I read the original letter, I recognized myself. I am a 90-year-old woman who lives alone. My health is not the best, and sometimes there are weeks when I speak to no one. It’s a lonely life. One day, it suddenly dawned on me that I was doing all of the talking when out with friends. Now I make sure that doesn’t happen. Perhaps the friend does not realize what she is doing. -- A Lonely Great-Aunt

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis eventually warm into a good rapport. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You enter an arena because you want to learn the lessons that are offered there, not because you already know the answers. Expect to mess up. It means you’re fully in attendance of the lesson. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The only bummer about the bum deal you got in the past is that it’s hard to erase the memory -- but work on it. Put some elbow grease into the erasing process. Scrub vigorously, and you’ll eventually be renewed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may come to a sticking point in a certain project. The problem must be worked out before you can go forward. Try a bit of ridiculousness just to see what happens. What’s illogical is not automatically wrong. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have this way of making it clear to others that you’re in a hurry, on to the next adventure. Because of this, people will want to follow you and/or try to obtain another moment more of your time. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Fun will not be provided; you’ll have to bring your own. If a project is boring, give it an intriguing name. You have the uncanny ability to turn ordinary happenings into a party. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 14). You have the sense that you can create your reality this year, and you’re correct. The next three weeks bring remarkable mental focus. New influences in October make you look at your own work and pastimes differently. You’ll stretch and experiment in November. December and May bring financial bonuses. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 13, 33 and 19.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have an uncommon talent. That’s precisely why you can’t expect the common man to recognize, utilize or praise it. But there is work you can do to make your gifts more accessible to everyone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will act independently precisely to prove you can. Deep down inside, you may fear being controlled by external circumstances, and you will now prove to those around you that you are not easily dominated. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It may simply be too difficult for you to work when you’re not inspired to do so. You’ll find inspiration wherever you look for it. You will, however, have to consciously remind yourself to look. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You experience people with your heart. Your compassion connects you and makes you curious about others. A person doesn’t have to be adventurous and exciting to be interesting to you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Suddenly, you can’t help but dwell on an abandoned ambition. You are still determined to win at least one game in a certain highly competitive arena. In this matter, the only way to fail is to stop trying. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). When something works, don’t celebrate it until you figure out why it works. Look for the pattern that can be repeated. Your future success depends on being able to repeat an effective sequence of actions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You sometimes feel an immediate and mutual kinship with people. Other times, it’s more challenging to get comfortable. Finding common ground may take a bit more work now, but you’ll

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 14, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Sept. 14, the 258th day of 2012. There are 108 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was moved to write a poem after witnessing how an American flag flying over Maryland’s Fort McHenry withstood a night of British bombardment during the War of 1812; the poem, “Defence of Fort McHenry,” later became the words to “The Star-Spangled Banner.” On this date: In 1712, Italian-born French astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini, discoverer of four of Saturn’s moons, died in Paris. In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte’s troops entered Moscow following the Battle of Borodino to find the Russian city largely abandoned and parts set ablaze. In 1861, the first naval engagement of the Civil War took place as the USS Colorado attacked and sank the Confederate private schooner Judah off Pensacola, Fla. In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin. In 1927, modern dance pioneer Isadora Duncan died in Nice (nees), France, when her scarf became entangled in a wheel of the sports car she was riding in. In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.” In 1972, the family drama “The Waltons” premiered on CBS. In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly actress Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before. In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, appeared together on radio and television to appeal for a “national crusade” against drug abuse. One year ago: President Barack Obama urged enthusiastic college students at North Carolina State University to join him in his fight to get Congress to act on his new jobs bill. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Zoe Caldwell is 79. Feminist author Kate Millett is 78. Actor Walter Koenig is 76. Basketball Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown is 72. Singer-actress Joey Heatherton is 68. Actor Sam Neill is 65. Singer Jon “Bowzer” Bauman (Sha Na Na) is 65. Rock musician Ed King is 63. Actor Robert Wisdom is 59. Rock musician Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) is 57.

Actress Faith Ford is 48. Actor Jamie Kaler is 48. Actress Michelle Stafford is 47. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is 47. Rock musician Mike Cooley (Drive-By Truckers) is 46.

Sparkling clear air and thinner crowds make Castle in the Clouds an attractive autumn destination

Pine Gardens Manufactured Homes Sales & Park

Under New Ownership Lowest Prices Around!

MOULTONBOROUGH — The Castle in the Clouds is open, ever day, until the end of the season on October 20. The award winning Carriage House Cafe and Terrance, with its fine gourmet food and daily specials, continues to serve meals from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. every day, with bar service until 5 p.m., although Cones in the Clouds, the little ice cream shop by Shannon Pond, will be open weekends only. And it is perfect time to visit. The days are cooler, the views are clearer, the gardens are in their full late season glory, and the crowds are down, even at the very popular Cafe. The third exhibit of the season, The White Mountain Art of Daniel Santry, will be at the Carriage House art gallery through October 20. It has become a tradition at the Castle to sponsor an exhibit of White Mountain Art at the end of every season. This year it is Daniel Santry’s time. Santry, who never achieved the fame he deserved, gives the “starving artist” story several new twists. He grew up in a working class family in Boston, but knew from the time he was quite young that he wanted to be a artist. While he studied with local painters like Benjamin Champney, a well known member of the White Mountain School, he was also drawn to the then new impressionistic style centered in France. Champney encouraged him to continue his studies in Paris and after saving for three years, he headed to France where he sought out Camille Pissaro and asked to be his stu-

dent. Pissaro said that he did not teach but agreed to let Santry accompany him on his painting trips. After three years with Pissaro, and other French painters, he felt ready to come home. Returning to Boston he found that despite his expertise, he could not survive from his art--until he saw an ad for an Artist in Residence at the Sunset Hill House in Sugar Hill, New Hampshire, in the heart of the White Mountains. For the next 23 years, until his untimely death from Bright’s disease at age 57, he lived and painted in the Franconia valley, in the summer staying at the hotel and easily selling his landscape canvases to the summer guests, and off-season living at a remote farm where he worked on paintings that capture the change of seasons and times in the now quiet countryside. There are many stories in this large exhibit; 38 wonderful small stories in the paintings, and Santry’s own compelling life story. As with all exhibits at Castle in the Clouds, the Santry exhibit is free with regular Castle admission. The Daniel Santry exhibit is sponsored by Subway Sandwiches of Moultonborough. Castle in the Clouds is a historic house museum property located on Route 171 in Moultonborough NH. The gate at 455 Old Mountain Road is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For directions and more information on admissions and events at the Castle visit the web site at www.castleintheclouds.org.

Laconia Adult Education offering five-week gluten-free cooking class

LACONIA — Laconia Adult Education will offer a class on Cooking: Gluten-Free Soups, Stews & Comfort Foods. The class will begin on Tuesday, September 25 from 6:00-7:30 p.m. and will run for five weeks. Sarah Baldwin-Welcome, a culinary graduate of Newbury College, will teach the class. She is the owner of Provincial Palate Inc. specializing in mustards and specialty catering. Over 1 million Americans may have intolerance for gluten, a common ingredient in more foods than people may realize. Gluten is a protein found in all wheat, rye, barley, and oat products. The only medically acceptable treatment for gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease is to eliminate all gluten from the diet. Many people with other conditions may also benefit from a gluten and wheat-free diet, including Attention Deficit Disorder,

Multiple Sclerosis, Lactose Intolerance, Autism, chronic fatigue, indigestion and malnutrition. Wheat allergy is an abnormal immune system reaction to one or more proteins found in wheat. Allergy to wheat is one of the more common food allergies in children. A wheat allergy may result in a wide range of symptoms, including hives, difficulty breathing and nausea. Avoiding wheat is the primary treatment for wheat allergy. Wheat allergy is different from a disorder known as Celiac Disease, an immune system reaction that causes inflammation in the small intestines when a person eats any food containing gluten, one type of protein found in wheat. Call the Laconia Adult Education Office at 524-5712 to enroll in this Gluten-Free Cooking Class that begins on Tuesday, September 25.
