Protest leads Gilford selectmen to void layoff of Verdile-Philibotte BY ED ENGLER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Selectboard announced on Wednesday that it had changed its mind about laying off a key member of the Department of Planning and Land Use.
Stephanie Verdile-Philibotte will keep her job, much to the relief of members of the Zoning Board of Adjustment and the Conversation Commission. Board chairman John O’Brien said he and his colleagues would continue to look
for places to cut the town’s 2012 operating budget a total of $300,000. Previously, the board had voted a twoweek stay of Verdile-Philibotte’s layoff. That decision was apparently made permasee GILFORD page 10
CONCORD — Representative Paul Mirski (R-Enfield), who chairs the Special Committee on Legislative Redistricting, this week filed legislation, which he said yesterday “was written specifically to accommodate Laconia.” The bill, House Bill 656, requires cities to redraw ward boundaries based on the results of the 2010 see WARDS page 13

BARNSTEAD — About 50 people packed into the Town Hall Wednesday night for the first of two public hearings about the possibility of subcontracting town police services to the Belknap County Sheriff’s Office. Selectmen’s Chair Bob LaRoche opened the hearing, that was conducted by Town Moderator Bill Goss, by explaining what they had done so far and now was the time for selectmen to hear from the citizenry. “It’s up to you. Do you want us to accept or reject the proposal?” LaRoche said. The idea of subcontracting Barnstead policing duties has been discussed since last year, when former Selectman Jim Barnard, who is also the former Barnstead Police Chief, spoke to Sheriff Craig Wiggin about whether or not a subcontract was even possible. Though Barnard was not reelected to office, the current Selectboard felt the subject needed further investigation and created a special Barnstead Police Committee to work with Wiggin to determine if it was possible and, if so, to see BARNSTEAD page 10 Modern Woodmen

Casey Anthony ordered to pay $100k for search for missing daughter
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Casey Anthony must pay almost $100,000 in law enforcement costs for investigating the death of her 2-yearold daughter, a Florida judge ruled Thursday. Circuit Judge Belvin Perry’s ruling fell well short of the more than $500,000 that prosecutors and law enforcement agencies in Orlando asked for during a hearing earlier this month. Prosecutors had asked that Anthony be forced to pay those costs since she lied repeatedly to investigators who were searching for her missing toddler, Caylee, in summer 2008. The judge said the costs should only cover the period when detectives were investigating a missing person and not the homicide investigation — a sum of $97,676. Anthony was acquitsee CASEY page 9

Gov. Lynch will not seek 5th term MANCHESTER (AP) — New Hampshire Democratic Gov. John Lynch announced Thursday he would not seek re-election to the office he has held for four consecutive terms, clearing the way for GOP jostling for his seat and a scramble in his party to find a new champion. In making his announcement at a Manchester elementary school where he was flanked by staff and many of the commissioners he has appointed, Lynch said every institution needs to be refreshed. “But democracy demands periodic change. To refresh and revive itself, democracy needs new leaders and new ideas,” he
said. “I think it’s time for the next generation of leadership for New Hampshire.” Many believe he is the most formidable Democratic candidate the party could offer. He survived a GOP sweep of the state’s top offices in 2010. Republicans have been attempting to portray him as anti-job and out of step with New Hampshire voters. They point to his veto of legislation that barred unions from collecting a share of administrative and negotiating costs from non-union members. The GOP-controlled Legislature also overrode his veto of abortion limits on minors.
The GOP-controlled Legislature also overrode his veto of abortion limits on minors and will have to deal with a certain veto of a bill to repeal New Hampshire’s gay marriage law should it pass next year. Lynch signed the law legalizing gay unions in 2009. And even before Lynch had finished talking, the Republican Governor’s Association issued a statement saying his departure would make it easier for the GOP to win the seat in November 2012. “New Hampshire Republicans were already fired up at the prospect of turning see LYNCH page 8
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defying orders and tempting fate, Marine corporal Dakota Meyer charged five times in a Humvee into heavy gunfire in the darkness of an Afghanistan valley to rescue comrades under attack from Taliban insurgents. On Thursday, Meyer was presented with the Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award, by President Barack Obama.
Meyer’s courage during the six-hour ambush and firefight saved the lives of 36 people, both Americans and Afghans. He killed at least eight Taliban insurgents. Firing from a gun turret on top of the Humvee driven by a fellow Marine, he provided cover for his team, allowing many to escape likely death. He was defying orders from his com-
manders, who told him to stay back. The kill zone, they said, was too dangerous. But the young corporal, just 21 years old at the time, knew his friends were trapped that early morning in September 2009. “In Sgt. Dakota Meyer, we see the best of a generation that has served with distinction through a decade of war,” Obama said see MARINE page 12

UNH president says school is weathering fiscal storm
DURHAM (AP) — University of New Hampshire President Mark Huddleston says the school is working its way out of a budget crisis with agility and a will to forge ahead. Delivering his State of the University speech Thursday, Huddleston cited several indications that the university remains strong despite steep budget cuts. Among them: the growth of online classes, a new partnership with a Chinese university and the continued securing of federal research grants. The latest state budget cut aid to the University System of New Hampshire almost in half, prompting layoffs and a hiring and salary freeze.
Dover Middle School confiscates American flag from autistic student DOVER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire woman is upset that middle school officials confiscated her autistic son’s American flag because the rod it was attached to was deemed a safety hazard. Theresa Stevens, of Dover, says her 12-year-old son, Shawn, brought the small flag to school to show friends. He had received it as a gift from a family friend whose son is in Afghanistan. Stevens says a school official called Wednesday to say that school workers were concerned that the rod’s pointed end could have been dangerous. Dover Middle school Co-Principal Kimberly Lyndes tells Fosters Daily Democrat (http://bit.ly/ pohJP0 ) it wasn’t about discipline or patriotism, but about safety. Stevens says she wants her son to know he did nothing wrong. She says students routinely carry around sharp-tipped items, such as compasses and pencils.

Court papers indicate 3 men arrested at Tilton outlet center confessed to counterfeiting & provided leads CONCORD (AP) — One of three men charged with passing counterfeit checks last month at a popular shopping outlet had some advice for the detective who took him into custody: Call the feds. Federal court affidavits show the Tilton police did just that. The Secret Service is now running the nationwide investigation that also involves stolen identities and counterfeit payroll checks. The three men were initially arrested by Tilton police but have since been charged with federal counterfeiting felonies. They are Quentin West, 47, and Edgar Thomas Rose, 57, both of Pittsburgh, and Omar Patterson, 41, of Cleveland. Affidavits indicate that all three men admitted their roles to federal investigators. It was Rose who told Tilton police Detective Matthew Dawson that he might want to call in federal authorities, according to affidavits written by Secret Service Agent Brian Coffee. Coffee said Rose told him he is a printer by trade and that he and West had been involved in manufacturing and passing counterfeit checks for months; Patterson had only recently joined them. According to the affidavits, the men rented a van in Pennsylvania and were on a road trip through New England, passing bogus checks at stores in New Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts. They also admitted cashing counterfeit payroll checks they had manufactured at Walmart stores in all three states, the affidavits said. Police seized from their van sophisticated instruments and software for making identification documents, a laptop and printer, “numerous envelopes” containing fake IDs bearing the images of the suspects and names of others, and dozens of pieces of paper labeled “fact sheet” containing identifying information of people other than the suspects.
Authorities also seized a road atlas with circles around various towns in which the suspects passed or attempted to pass bad checks, the affidavits said. Lawyers for Rose and West didn’t immediately return calls Thursday. Brian Snow, who represents Patterson, said his client had been released and was being supervised by Cleveland probation officers. Snow said he believes that West and Rose are still in custody and doesn’t know when the next court proceeding will be in any of the cases. Secret Service spokesman George Ogilvie said his agency wouldn’t comment because the case is ongoing. “The Secret Service is working on how they stole the identities,” Tilton police Chief Robert Cormier said Thursday. “They’re running down leads across the country.” The magnitude of the bust has secured Cormier and two of his detectives a spot on the agenda of the annual New England Organized Retail Crime Symposium on Sept. 21. “We’re hoping to get more information and a sense of the number of businesses that were victims,” Cormier said. He said he also wants to use that opportunity to recognize the loss prevention officer who notified Tilton police about the men’s suspicious conduct on Aug. 23. “Call it intuition or he paid attention at the meetings,” Cormier said. “He did a great job that day.” Based on that tip and descriptions of the men, Tilton detectives were able to watch the men load shopping bags into a rented van while other officers verified the checks the men passed at several Tanger Outlet Center stores were bogus. The men had bags of merchandise from Brooks Bros., Under Armor, Wilson Leather and Eddie Bauer, the affidavits said. Investigators also found $12,000 in cash in the van.
LONDON (AP) — One man armed with only a computer terminal humbled a venerable banking institution yet again. This time it was Swiss powerhouse UBS, which said Thursday that it had lost roughly $2 billion because of a renegade trader. The arrest of 31-year-old equities trader Kweku Adoboli in London is one more headache for troubled international banks, and fresh proof that they remain vulnerable to untracked trading that can produce mind-boggling losses.
Adoboli would join a rogue’s gallery that includes Jerome Kerviel, who gambled away $6.7 billion at a French bank until he was caught three years ago, and Nick Leeson, who made so many unauthorized trades that it caused the collapse of a British bank in 1995. The scale of those frauds rocked world finance. Banks tightened oversight rules to make sure such large sums could not be traded under the radar. But the safeguards, designed to protect the public and shareholders alike, seem to have failed.

The economy is your fault! You know what’s wrong with the American economy, Bucko? You, that’s what. Yeah, yeah, it’s true that the reckless global gambling schemes of Wall Street bankers are what wrecked our economy — and, yes, Congress and the Federal Reserve have used trillions of our public dollars to bail out miscreant bankers, while ignoring the plight of people like you whose jobs, businesses, homes and middle-class incomes have been devastated by banker greed. And, sure, it’s also true that corporations are hoarding $2-trillion in cash and getting billions of dollars a year in subsidies from taxpayers like you, yet refusing to hire Americans or to make job-creating investments in our country. But blah-blah-blah, Bucko, this does not excuse your refusal to do your duty as an American consumer. CEOs say that they won’t start hiring until you consumer slugs get out there and spend, spend, spend. And don’t use the whiney excuse that you’re out of work or mired in debt — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke says that he has looked at macro economic statistics and concluded that you’re just being irrationally negative about the health of our economy. “Households seem exceptionally cautious,” declared the perplexed Fed chairman recently, suggesting that your lack of confidence in the economy is a psychosis that’s fueling a larger depression. Yes, chimed in another Federal Reserve banker, “it’s hard to have a robust recovery when Americans are so dispirited.” So, hey — perk up, America! Stop waiting on Wall Street, Washington and corporate chieftains to do something. Forget economic reality — just pull out your credit cards, put on a smile, and march to the mall. Wow, I can’t tell you how much more confidence I have in our economic future knowing that America’s corporate and political leaders are so insightful and in-touch. How about you? By the way, President Obama has also joined the perky posse of national leaders who’re urging Americans to be more upbeat about the economic doldrums we’re in. “Shake off all the naysaying and the anxiety and the hand-wringing,” he recently told us, sounding a lot
like a football coach telling a player to shake off a concussion and get back in the game. The president’s pep talk came the day after he made his “bold” jobs proposal to Congress. But Obama’s plan is more Walter Mittyish than Rooseveltian. While it does include some useful provisions to help stem the loss of still more jobs (especially those teachers, firefighters and other public employees being offed by Republican governors), it essentially consists of more corporate tax breaks — a form of bribery to induce enormously rich corporations to hire American workers. This is the same old same old that Washington keeps throwing at the problem and — hello, Washington — it’s not working. Sure enough, corporate chieftains say they’ll gladly take the latest handout, but we should not expect them to go on a big hiring spree. Mostly, they’ll use the money to cover the few people they were going to hire anyway — and pocket the rest. Nontheless, Obama is now barnstorming the country, rallying crowds to demand that Congress “stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy” by passing his plan. Fine ... but what about the corporate circus? And the Wall Street circus? It’s time to stop coddling these gluttonous narcissists. America is in crisis, sinking toward depression. The president should really get bold by calling out and shaming corporate executives who suck up America’s wealth, then turn their backs on us, as though the only loyalty they owe is to their own avarice — none to their country. Likewise, he should kick the bailed-out bankers right in their ample butts and insist publicly that they start making loans to America’s smaller business that do want to create good jobs in our country. Let’s stop begging and start demanding. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

LETTERS Please contribute to fund to fight Pike health insurance decision To the editor, I am certain that most of the public in Belmont is aware that selectman Jon Pike was threatening to sue our town if he was not paid for his past medical insurance that he incurred in the amount of $11,000 and also have the taxpayers pay for his medical insurance until he reaches the age of 65. These negotiations between Mr. Pike and the town were all held in secret meetings that started in the fall of 2010, until the selectman’s meeting of June 6, 2011. Another secret nonpublic meeting held on June 6, 2011 granted Selectman Pike the demands he and his lawyers made. Fortunately for the taxpayers of Belmont a reporter from The Laconia Daily Sun discovered and reported what had transpired, which made the taxpayers aware of all these funds being expended without any legal basis. The Right-to-Know Law, RSA 91-A:3, clearly states that an elected official cannot use this law to protect his reputation. Since the selectman’s office is armed with legal counsel you would think that they would have read and abide by the law. They did
everything BUT follow the law. We the taxpayers who are paying for this free lunch can throw our hands up and do nothing. On the other hand we can fight back and that is what I intend to do, but I cannot do it alone. I am asking for your help to defer the cost of legal counsel. If you can, contribute anything that you can afford to the “Belmont Legal Fund” so we can start fighting back. Our objective is to have the town abide by the Rightto-Know Law, nullify the questionable selectmen’s actions and the return of the $11,000 plus all the funds the town has paid and will pay towards Mr. Pike’s health insurance. Let’s bring honest ethics back to Belmont. Your donations will be deposited in a checking account at the Meredith Village Savings Bank. Please mail your contribution to PO Box 338, Belmont NH, 03220. For those contributors who wish to remain anonymous you can send a money order or call me at 603-267-8023. Lets get our money back George Condodemetraky Belmont
Build the WOW Trail with your own money, on your own property To the editor, The WOW Trail seems to have a great deal of large sponsors, pushing it, but may I suggest that they step back and take a look at the environmental effect this will impose on the abutting property owner’s and the fact that they want the vast majority of the funding to come from the state and federal government, who are 200-percent broke. This means that our grandchildren will get saddled with the bill, for a bicycle path? We need roads, bridges and schools and cannot come up with the money. If you are unfortunate and this paved, fenced path, runs through, or close to your front/back yard then please think of the security problem, noise, waste disposal and safety, to name a few, plus — and it is a large plus — is this the best use for the money that these sponsors can find? How about the property values of those even near the WOW Trail? I suggest that you all drive from the center of Meredith Village to the corner of Rte 11 and Rte. 11-B and experience
the road conditions. Even Main Street in Meredith is in awful shape! The vast majority of the roads in Laconia are in horrible shape. How about our schools and parks? You might notice that the white lines are not even being repainted on our roads, as there is not money for this safety item! All local, state and federal budgets are strained and being cut and the sponsors think we need a bicycle path. Further, would any of the sponsors be excited if the WOW Trail was going through their property? Just imagine, a herd of people, from who knows where, invading your back/front yard/ neighborhood! This is an environmental and financial nightmare for the community. The sponsors mention jobs, which sounds good, except they would be part-time, tourism positions — maybe all bartenders and trash pick up help? This sounds like a noble idea, but if the sponsors of the WOW Trail want to put up all of the money and build it on their property, by all means consee next page

Racism is not a political issue, it’s not about Republican or Democrat To the editor, Mr. Earle, you had a letter in response to one Mr. Cracroft wrote. In your letter you try to justify the presence of racism by blaming it on the Democrats. It seems rather then to admit racism is prevalent in our society you need to blame a political party for it. People are not born into the world racist. People are taught this behavior. As people grow they choose to be racist or not to be and people must take responsibility for their own behaviors. Racism has been passed down from generation to generation and is a product of hate and a view where some people think being white makes you superior to other groups of people. In your letter you go on to say that liberals blame it on the Republicans and Tea Party for the upsurge in racial tension. The simple fact is if the Tea Party Republicans were not carrying racist signs and making racist statements then that wouldn’t have happened. The problem was that the Tea Party group brought out all the hate groups who became Tea Party members allowing them a way to promote their hate views. Unfortunately the name calling also is coming from the Tea Party members. Recently referring to the president as a “tar baby” and a “boy”. Also sending out a derogatory e-mail. These are facts not something I made up. If you don’t want to be accused of being a racist then don’t bring attention to yourself by doing and saying things in public which have racist intones. To be perfectly honest right now I have no respect for the Tea Party in general. At the recent Tea Party-sponsored GOP debate these people actu-
ally clapped and yelled out loud to let a human being DIE. It sickened me to think that we had people in this world who had such little regard for human life. Including a doctor who had taken an oath to save lives who made no effort to say yelling LET HIM DIE was wrong. I do agree with you that racial tension has gotten worse. That has been prompted by the fact that the president is black and many whites were not yet ready to have a black person in charge. Until he became a candidate for the presidency the racism problem was not as visible. It did, however, exist. Many men, women and children are affected each day because of racist views. You can choose to believe that or not . You can make all the excuses you want for this type of behavior but that won’t change the reality that racism is a problem in the USA. From your letter I sense you really do not understand what racism is nor have ever been in a situation where racism was playing a part. Racism is not a political issue, it is neither Democrat or Republican, so why are you trying to make it one? Racism is a learned behavior. I would like to believe you are not among those Tea Party members who resort to racist signs and racist words to denigrate another person because you don’t like the color of his/her skin or their views. And I would like to believe you are a nice person and would not wish death on any person. However, your letter does make it appear you think the practice of racism is okay and justified but do not actually think it is a problem. Nancy Parsons Laconia
You’ll be more than welcome at annual Patriotic Street Party in Ashland To the editor, I would like to extend a personal invitation to everyone to come visit us on September 17 — noon to five — for our Annual Patriotic Street Party! Noseworthy Real Estate is hosting its 3rd annual Military K-9 Team Benefit, an event that gathers donations to support our troops all year long. I am so unbelievably proud to report that we have mailed just under 1,000 pounds of love and care packages to our K-9 Teams and soldiers overseas this last year! The letters we’ve received, some published by this paper, have made me cry, laugh, warmed my heart and made some very bad days good days, showing me that there are worse things than worrying about the market and if I’m going to have to get more wood for this winter. These soldiers have opened up their hearts with gratitude for things as small as a waffle iron. We’ve had some fun too; a case of Super Soakers water guns was sent to a young soldier for his birthday; the note we got back was “I don’t know if this is going to be fun or an all out new war!”.

next day he and his dog were dropped from a plane for his first air mission. He is 21 years old.

LETTERS When are we going to learn President Obama’s vision for America? To the editor, The lead donkey’s speech before the joint session of Congress could have been more anti-climatic but I’m at a loss to state how. He was clearly taking to the campaign trail in an inappropriate venue. He wants to rehabilitate his image on job creation. The problem is; that after three years of doing very little to nothing at all that was effective in job creation, actions simply speak louder than words. If the lead donkey is serious about creating jobs, he should stop blaming bad luck, George Bush, the tsunami, the hurricane, Europe and whatever else he feels is preventing the attainment of results. Sir, it is past time to take responsibility. He should reduce the debt, call off the regulatory attacks and urge passage of the REINS Act. Sir, all leaders are responsible for everything that happens on their watch. The leader’s responsibility is to be clear about where we are going and why. Leaders are willing to risk, that’s what makes them a leader. When everything is said and done the leader alone is responsible for the decision and the result. Leadership implies importance and responsibility. Sir, your actions do not approach leadership. Leadership requires vision, courage, commitment, competence and communication. The most important thing to
the leader is the vision. The focus of the leader is to assure that the nation will function in a world class way. Mr. Lead donkey, guess what, the economy is a shambles, debt is out of control, spending is out of control, inflation is taking off, nearly 20-percent of the workforce is unemployed or under employed, we are drowning in regulations, we are over extended militarily, internationally we are laughed at openly, nations holding our debt are threatening to use it against us. What is your vision Mr. Lead donkey? We can’t help you because no one understands what direction we are supposed to move in. If your mind’s eye is focused on the distant horizon sir; we need to hear from you. We need clarity. We need direction. We do not need more commissions that will be ignored. We need leadership and sadly that seldom comes from behind. Leaders are out front showing the way. Drivers come behind. Drivers use the whip when they see something they do not like. They really don’t care where we go. They care only that they can make us move. What is your vision sir? Hope and change we had. They don’t feed us or cloth us or employ us. We need a vision sir. Are you listening? Just my honest opinion. Marc Abear Meredith
Mention of housing prices should also include taxes you’ll pay To the editor, I wrote in a letter dated June 8 that older homes will never hear the cry of a newborn baby again. Every Thursday, the Union Leader lists foreclosure sales that explains assessed value and property taxes. I read Roy Sanborn’s column dated Sept. 10 and all I agree with as far as it goes. He writes that asking prices range from $521,155 to $269,000. The 2010 tax rate in Laconia was $18.04. That means at selling price, taxes would range from $9,398.84 to $4,852.76. The column should at least mention assessed value plus taxes. The next thing that comes to is what is total replacement cost that the insur-
ance company requires to insurance the property. These payments are required along with house payments to bank, at least that was in effect in the house I live in. It is almost a shame that a families home is a cash cow to local government. My experience with insurance companies were not pleasant, such that a house in need of repairs may cost thousands of dollars, making it impossible for a family to buy and insure it with a cash value policy. I had a conservation on the phone with Mr. Sanborn on this subject in the past and I stand by what the conservation was. Henry Osmer Hill
I will not bleed one ounce for Ron Paul followers’ beliefs or rights To the editor, If you are of the belief, like Ron Paul, that we should not help those that need our help then I have this to say to you. The old saying was always this: I may disagree with you but I fight fight to the death for your right to say it. The new saying is this: To the Tea Party and all their followers who believe in that Ron Paul belief — you are ON your OWN and I will not bleed one ounce of blood for any of your beliefs or rights. Because I know now
that once I get injured for you, you will leave me on the side of the road and will try con the next person to fight for them while they are watching from the sidelines. As a retired EMT I will feel some guilt passing you by but at least I will be able to get to the next one faster. Its called triage. To bad as some of your Tea Party ideas had merit but now that I know you don’t have my butt I won’t bother with yours. Jon Hoyt Bridgewater
New deadly force law will make me hesitant to shop towntowns To the editor, As a summer resident of Laconia, I would like to express my concern regarding the state’s new deadly force law. I try very hard throughout the summer months to patronize small local business in downtown Laconia
and downtown Tilton. Given this new law, I am now less inclined to spend time and money in the very public places that make up the downtowns of the Lakes Region. When law enforcement counsels that such a law makes see next page

N.H. Attorney General moves to thwart JUA settlement agreement By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD —Following a conference in chambers yesterday, Judge Richard McNamara of Merrimack County Superior Court is expected to rule shortly on New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney’s claim that a proposed settlement reached between the New Hampshire Medical Malpractice Joint Underwriters Association (JUA) and its policyholders requires not only his approval but also that of the Legislature. The role of the attorney general in the settlement proceedings is hotly contested by the policyholders, represented by attorneys Kevin Fitzgerald, Scott O’Connel and Gordon MacDonald of Nixon Peabody LLP. They insist that Delaney’s position is at odds with orders of both the Belknap County Superior Court and the New Hampshire Supreme Court as well as the regulations of the JUA and an act of the Legislature. They urged the court to reject Delaney’s effort to “thwart a freely negotiated resolution between the litigants,” which “continues an unfortunate pattern of willful disregard of previous rulings by this court.” This is the latest round in a bout that began in 2009 when, on the recommendation of Governor John Lynch, the Legislature included the $110-million of the surplus in his 2010-2011 budget. Policyholders, led by LRGHealthcare of Laconia, challenged the state’s claim, insisting that the rules governing the JUA and their contracts with it granted them a right to a share of the surplus. Last year, the Supreme Court denied from preceding page public places (the essence of our communities) less safe, our legislators should listen. Let’s just hope I am not the only “tourist” who will be avoiding our struggling downtowns due to this unnecessary and silly law. It’s time for our legislators to start putting the economy ahead of politics. Todd Thomas Laconia
the state’s claim and upheld the right of the policyholders and when the Lynch administration balked at the court’s decision, the Legislature enacted legislation (Senate Bill 170) ordering the money be distributed to the policyholders. When, in accord with the legislation, attorneys for the policyholders and the JUA appeared in Merrimack County Superior Court to present a settlement negotiated during the summer, Associate Attorney General Richard Head intervened. At the same time, Delaney wrote to the clerks and leadership of the House of Representatives and the Senate advising that legislation approving the settlement be introduced in the forthcoming session. According to Delaney, the settlement includes a payment to Nixon Peabody, the law firm representing the policyholders, of as much as $27.5-million in fees and costs, representing 25-percent of the $110-million surplus. It also provides a $1-million payment to the “lead plaintiffs,” including LRGH. Delaney suggests that that the Legislature directed the funds be distributed to current and former policyholders. Delaney notes that the amount of the settlement exceeds the threshold requiring the approval of the Legislature — one-quarter of one-percent all unrestricted general fund revenues. Therefore, he claims, according to statute (RSA 14:35-b), the settlement must be “presented as legislation in the next convened session of the legislature and acted upon in the same manner as any other bill.” Of course, this would entitle the governor, who originally proposed transferring the surplus to the general fund, to exercise his veto power. While the Attorney General’s Office was not party to negotiating the settlement, it appointed and paid legal counsel to bargain on behalf of the board of the JUA under the statute (RSA 99-D) authorizing the state to indemnify and his office to represent “officials of the state” in litigation arising from their official duties. Delaney insists neither the appointed see next page

LYNCH from page 2 the state red in 2012,” RGA Executive Director Phil Cox said in a statement. “John Lynch’s decision to forego a re-election bid increases the GOP’s chances of picking up the governorship and puts the Democrats further on their heels nationally in 2012.” Manchester Republican Ovide Lamontagne, who lost the GOP primary to U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte last year, has been considering a run, but with Lynch’s departure others may see if they can get support for a bid. On the Democratic side, former state Sen. Maggie Hassan of Exeter has quietly been organizing in the event Lynch bowed out. Senate Democratic Leader Sylvia Larsen said after Lynch’s announcement, she is endorsing Hassan. Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley would not speculate on possible Democratic candidates Thursday. But former Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan said a number of people, including Hassan, may jump in. Lynch did not reveal what he would do next but said he will stay focused on being governor for the next 16 months. He has said many times he has no interest in running for federal office, and his press secretary, Colin
Manning, said Lynch has no plans to run for any office. “Through some tough economic times, John maintained key services for Granite State residents all while keeping faith with New Hampshire’s independent spirit,” President Barack Obama said in a statement released by the White House. Before his election in 2004, Lynch made a living helping financially troubled companies reorganize. Lynch was the first challenger since 1926 to unseat a freshman governor when he beat Republican Craig Benson in 2004 by promising to replace a “culture of corruption” with one of integrity and bipartisanship. From the start of his political career, Lynch defused a potent Republican issue by pledging to veto any general sales or income tax in a state that has neither. He campaigned on the same promises in 2006, when he easily beat Republican state Rep. Jim Coburn to win a second term, and again in 2008 when he beat Republican state Sen. Joe Kenney for his third term. During his second term, Lynch backed laws that increased the compulsory dropout age to 18, expanded a children’s health insurance program, expanded services to the disabled on waiting lists and increased the
minimum wage for the first time in a decade. In a mostly symbolic fight, the Republican Legislature repealed the state’s minimum wage law this year, overriding his veto. The wage remained the same, now controlled by federal law. Lynch also won creation of a new job training fund, a ban on burning toxic construction and demolition debris, a new law fostering development of renewable energy and funding for a land conservation program. He successfully blocked Republican attempts
this year to end the state’s participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Though he didn’t lobby for its passage, Lynch also signed a civil union law in 2007 granting the same privileges and responsibilities of marriage to gays. New Hampshire was the first state to embrace same-sex unions without a court order or the threat of one. In 2008, Lynch and lawmakers finally began resolving the most nettlesome issue facing governors since see next page
from preceding page counsel nor the JUA directors have the authority to conclude a settlement. Instead, he claims “any proposed settlement must be approved by the attorney general.” Delaney sanctioned the governor’s effort to take the surplus and contested the policyholders’ claims every step of the way, yet he writes “I have taken no formal position on the merits of this proposed settlement.” He then argues that the payment to Nixon Peabody is contrary to the intent of the legislation, which declared that all surplus funds belong to the policyholders and, with the exception of $25-million reserved against a possible federal tax liability, should be distributed to them. In a strongly worded letter to Head followed by a brief to the court, attorneys Scott O’Connell and Kevin Fitzgerald for the policyholders claimed “the Attorney General has no legitimate role in the remaining proceedings” and dismissed contentions that the JUA is state agency and its surplus state funds as “patently false, belied by unmistakable legal authority, and stated without any good faith basis.” He charged that Delaney’s conduct “raise(d) again troubling issues of conflict and the failure of state attorneys to fulfill their professional obligation.” In particular, the attorneys said that Head’s statement to the court that the surplus constitutes state funds is “without any good faith basis” and “made out of ignorance or with an intent to mislead the court.” They reminded Head that the Supreme Court denied the state’s claim to the surplus as an “unconstitutional impairment of the policyholders’
rights to these funds” and that McNamara also recently ruled that these rights “must be recognized by the (JUA) Board of Directors and even the State.” In their brief the policyholders noted that the state has never been party to the litigation over the surplus, which was brought by the policyholders against the JUA itself. Moreover, the state’s claim that the JUA is a state agency was rejected by Judge Kathleen McGuire of Belknap County Superior Court. Her order also disqualified the Attorney General’s Office from representing the JUA since the interests of the state and the JUA were opposed and to represent both was a conflict of interest under the Rules of Professional Conduct. Her order was never appealed and remains the law on this issue. Likewise, a subsequent attempt by the state to incorporate the JUA into the Insurance Department was roundly rejected by the Legislature. Further, the policyholders argued that the Attorney General had no authority to appoint legal counsel for the JUA and its directors since the statute he cited applied solely to “state officers, trustees, officials and employees.” In disqualifying the Attorney General, McGuire, held that “board members are entitled to indemnification by the association, and not by the state.” The policyholders acknowledged that in negotiating the settlement the JUA has been represented by “separate “ counsel. However, they charge that the Attorney General claims to control that representation and approve that settlement, again seeks “to represent simultaneously two entities with plainly competing interests,” running afoul of McGuire’s order and the Rules of Professional Conduct.

LPD’s Blanchette takes job at sheriff’s department By Michael Kitch LACONIA — With one position open following the retirement of Chief Mike Moyer, the Police Department found itself with another vacancy when Officer Justin Blanchette resigned to take a job with the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department. Speaking to the Police Commission yesterday Chief Chris Adams described Blanchette, a 10 year veteran, as “an excellent officer” with a strong record of arrests. He said that the department will miss Blanchette, the community will continue to benefit from his service in law enforcement. Adams said that the department will soon begin testing between 30 and 50 candidates, many of them
certified officers. He said that he aimed to hire two patrolmen by January, when if necessary they could complete the 14-week course at the academy, operated by the New Hampshire Police Standards and Training Council, in time to work the street by summer. Lieutenant Al Lessard told the commissioners that the department has received an Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant from the United States Department of Justice in the amount of $18,507. He said that $3,000 is designated for the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department and the balance will be used by the department to enhance the dispatch center and install mobile data systems in cruisers. The City Council will be asked to accept the fund when it meets on September 26.
CASEY from page 2 ted in July of murdering Caylee. But the 25-year-old was convicted of four misdemeanor counts of lying to authorities. She told officers a baby sitter had kidnapped the child. Authorities later learned the baby sitter never existed. Anthony has appealed her misdemeanor convictions. Her attorneys didn’t respond immediately to emails seeking comment Thursday. Perry denied requests to pay for prosecutors’ costs of pressing the murder charges and said they were only entitled to $50.
He ordered that $61,500 be paid to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, that $25,837 be paid to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and that $10,283 be paid to the Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation in central Florida. He left open the possibility that the Orange County Sheriff’s Office could recover more money if the agency re-files expenses with greater details. Anthony is serving probation at an undisclosed location in Florida for unrelated check fraud charges. She is being hidden for her safety, since she received death threats after her acquittal.
from preceding page the mid-1990s: complying with a state Supreme Court mandate that the state define an adequate education, price it, pay for it and hold towns accountable for delivering it. The court dismissed the latest lawsuit over the issue in 2008, ruling the state was making progress. The ruling sent future claims back to the Superior Court. Lynch initially opposed changing the state constitution to overhaul public school financing, but changed his mind after the court emphatically rejected aid systems that help only selected towns. Lynch had fought unsuccessfully to repeal a statewide property tax, enacted after the high court ordered sweeping school-funding reform in 1997. He also favors sending more aid to the neediest towns, something he says the state can’t afford to do as long as it must pay the cost of an adequate education in every town. But Lynch could not persuade the Democraticcontrolled House to join the Democratic Senate in approving a constitutional amendment to allow the changes he desired. Now he is working with Republicans, who control both legislative chambers, to put an amendment on the 2012 ballot. Instead, the state defined an adequate educa-
tion that includes a mandate that the last 12 towns without kindergarten programs start them. The state determined the definition’s cost outlined in a new aid system that guarantees every town per pupil aid. Lynch let the bill become law without his signature as necessary to comply with the high court order. Democrats did not fund the new system immediately when they wrote the budget for 2010 and 2011. Instead they held funding close to current levels to give lawmakers time to find a way to pay for it this year. But this year, Republican lawmakers, now in charge, rewrote the aid distribution law and kept aid close to current levels. Lynch was born in Waltham, Mass., and now lives in Hopkinton. He earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire, a master’s degree from Harvard Business School and a law degree from Georgetown University Law Center. He was president of a consulting firm, The Lynch Group, in Manchester, N.H. Before that, he was admissions director of Harvard Business School, and served as president and CEO of Knoll Inc., a Pennsylvania furniture company. He resigned as chairman of the state university system trustees to run for governor in 2004. Lynch and his wife, Susan, have three children.

GILFORD from page one nent during a non-public session of the board that was held immediately prior to Wednesday night’s public session. O’Brien announced only that the board had voted to keep its “rescission in place”, without elaborating. The Daily Sun reporter at the meeting mistakenly took that wording to mean the board was sticking to its guns on the layoff and the newspaper reported as such on Thursday. In fact, just the opposite was true. Verdile-Philibotte had been informed her position was being eliminated as of September 2 as one of the cost-cutting measures. Word of that move was
greeted by howls of protest from members of the two land use board she coordinates activities for. They showed up in mass at the August 24 Selectboard meeting and offered testimonial after testimonial as to how valuable she was. Conservation Commission member John Goodhue called Verdile-Philibotte the “backbone” of her department. Via letter, Conversation Commission member Doug Hill said he would resign in protest if VerdilePhilibotte was laid off. Immediately after that meeting, the board met privately with Verdile-Philibotte. The published minutes indicate she gave board members a summary of her duties, briefly asked and answered questions and then left the room. O’Brien then moved to “rescind the pending layoff” and reconsider the entire issue on September 14 and that initiative was unanimously adopted. The minutes of the board’s follow-up non-public session, on Wednesday night, are not yet available for public viewing.

Wiggin, after working for about seven months with Police Chief Ken Borgia and the police committee, presented the county’s proposal for the first time Wednesday. As was to be expected, people at the public hearing had a lot of questions and concerns, the most prominent of which was what would happen to the existing employees and who can legally make the decision — selectmen or Town Meeting. Former Fire Chief George Krause wanted to know who determined the projected operating budget for Barnstead’s Police for 2012 when, to his knowledge the budget committee and selectmen haven’t begun the budget process. County Administrator Debra Shackett told him the county finance director added five percent to the 2011 appropriation, came up with $622,911, and the number was provided to give everyone to provide the same basic starting point. Wiggin has said he could provide four full-time deputies with take-home cruisers for $447,782 in 2012 and five full-time deputies with take-home cruisers for $496,566. Former Police Officer Frank Grow said people needed to know that two part-time police officers were also losing their jobs, as well as the part-time administrator and that he wasn’t convinced the town was going to save as much as the $140,000 predicted. “Has anyone looked into running (our own) department with four full-time police officers?” Grow asked, saying again that he was not convinced the projected savings were going to be there. Right now, Chief Ken Borgia said the department is staffed with three full-time officers and three part-time employees — two officers and a secretary. He said the budget is for six full-time officers but he has been unable to get fully staffed for a variety of reasons, one of which is low pay in small towns and the other is that it takes about six to eight months to get a new officer certified and trained only to often see him or her leave for a better paying job in a bigger community with more opportunities. Others, including Barnard, challenged LaRoche’s statements that the selectmen are empowered to make the decision. “I just want to make sure this comes to Town Meeting,” Barnard said. “We have the authority to vote on this,” said Laroche citing N.H. state law RSA 53:A that delegates to selectmen the responsibility of providing police services to its residents. “How many here would like to see it go to Town Meeting?” Barnard asked. About two-thirds of the people in the room raised their hands. Gordon Preston is the chair of the Barnstead Police Committee and he replied that while he believes absolutely in the power of Town Meeting, the problem faced is that ideally the budget should be decided before Jan. 1 2012 and Town Meeting isn’t until March. “We’re trying to get it matched up,” Preston said. Others at the meeting said they were concerned that the sheriff’s department had different standards or “more whistles and bells” than Barnstead and feared Barnstead voters would have to comply with what the sheriff determines is appropriate — especially when it comes to equipment and communications. “We can renegotisee SHERIFF page 12

Broken bat contributes to yet another Red Sox loss BOSTON (AP) — Boston shortstop Marco Scutaro had to dodge a broken bat and wound up letting the go-ahead single through his legs on Thursday night as the Tampa Bay Rays beat the Red Sox 9-2 and cut their deficit in the AL wild-card race to three games. The Red Sox dropped to 3-11 in September to fall from first place in the division to 4½ games behind the New York Yankees and into a race with the Rays for the wild-card. Boston and Tampa Bay play three more times at Fenway Park this weekend. B.J. Upton broke a scoreless tie in the third inning with his bat-aided RBI single, and Evan Longoria followed with a three-run homer. Casey Kotchman added a two-run shot in the sixth to make it 6-1, and in the seventh Upton hit a two-run homer and Kotchman added an RBI single. Jeremy Hellickson (13-10) allowed one run on
three hits and four walks, striking out four in 5 2-3 innings. Kyle Weiland (0-2) pitched three-plus innings, giving up four runs on three hits and two walks. Weiland retired the first seven batters he faced before John Jaso doubled and, one out later, Desmond Jennings walked. Upton sent a grounder toward short, with the barrel of his bat arriving at about the same time as the ball. Scutaro hopped out of the way as the bat went under his left foot and the ball went between his legs, allowing Jaso to score. Longoria followed with his 27th homer of the season, into the Red Sox bullpen to give Tampa Bay a 4-0 lead. It was 6-1 when Upton hit the first pitch he saw from Matt Albers, the fifth of seven Boston pitchers, over the Green Monster.
TILTON — Police are investigation an attempted burglary at the Tilton House of Pizza last Wednesday night. Police said the burglar entered the building through a rear door but was thwarted in the theft when the alarm sounded and a Tilton Police officer responded.
The thief attempted to break into a cash register but ran when police responded. A K-9 unit from Laconia was brought in but the suspect had fled. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Tilton Police at 286-4442.
MARINE from page 2 during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House. Meyer, later promoted to sergeant and now out of the Marines, is the third living recipient and the first Marine to be awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in Iraq or Afghanistan. The modest, soft-spoken 23-year-old now lives in his home state of Kentucky, working construction in the tiny town of Greensburg. Obama praised Meyer for his humility and work ethic. When the White House tried to reach him in the middle of a workday to tell him his medal had been approved, he worried about whether he could take a call while on the job. So the White House arranged for the president to call during Meyer’s lunch break. With a smile, Obama thanked him for taking the call.
On the eve of the Medal of Honor ceremony, Obama and Meyer met in person, chatting on a patio near the White House Rose Garden, over a beer. Despite Meyer’s heroism, four Americans died in the ambush: 1st Lt. Michael Johnson, a 25-yearold from Virginia Beach; Staff Sgt. Aaron Kenefick, 30, of Roswell, Ga.; Corpsman James Layton, 22, of Riverbank, Calif.; and Edwin Wayne Johnson Jr., a 31-year-old gunnery sergeant from Columbus, Ga. A fifth man, Army Sgt. Kenneth W. Westbrook, 41, of Shiprock, N.M., later died from his wounds. Meyer says he has struggled with the national attention, with being recognized for the worst day of his life. He requested that memorial services for those who died that day be held in their hometowns at the same time he received the Medal of Honor. see next page

SHERIFF from page 10 the contract,” said Wiggin who emphasized all night that the contract with Barnstead would be driven by what the residents of Barnstead want and how much money they are willing to spend. “It’s your money,” he said, noting the town will vote amount of the contract as part of its budget process. He also reminded everyone in the room that, as an elected sheriff, he worked for them. “You people are all my bosses.” It was Selectman Kathy Grillo who tamed the tension by saying that “nothing has been decided.”
“We’re trying to help the town lower its tax burden and we don’t want to do anything to get the town upset,” she said. “We’re trusting that the committee and the county are trying to help,” she continued. “Believe me, if the county was looking to make money it sure wouldn’t come to Barnstead because we don’t have any,” Grillo said eliciting laughter. “We want to do everything in the open so everyone is comfortable, but there are things not settled yet,” she said. The second public hearing is Wednesday, Sept. 28 at 7 p.m. at the Town Hall.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 16, 2011— Page 13
JUA from page one census “by the date of the 2012 presidential primary election.” This week, Kevin Landrigan of the Nashia Telegraph, in a video posted on “The Lobby,” a political website, reported that HB-656 was filed in response to “a couple of cities . . . moving rather slowly,” adding “Laconia stands out as one that really wants to wait until after the presidential primary and that has legislative leaders really upset.” Mirski said that he expected the 13 cities to have redrawn their ward boundaries by November so that his committee, which must set the boundaries of the 400 House districts, two congressional districts, five executive council districts and 10 county commissioner districts, could present its redistricting plan to the House of Representatives in January. However, he said that when he learned that first Laconia and later Berlin had encountered problems deciphering and applying the census data, he decided to file the bill “to set an end date.” In Laconia, redistricting requires amending the City Charter at a municipal, state or special election. Originally City Manager Scott Myers, who as mayor of Dover saw redistricting completed before starting work in Laconia in July, aimed to have the ward lines redrawn in time for a charter amendment to be placed on the ballot for the municipal election in November. But, when the census data was slow in coming, he soon stretched the deadline. Last month, he told the City Council that after speaking with the Secretary of State as well as legislative staff he was from preceding page The president assured Meyer that he had let no one down. “Dakota, I know you’ve grappled with the grief of that day, that you said your efforts were somehow a failure because your teammates didn’t come home,” the president said. “But as your commander in chief and on behalf of everyone here today and all Americans, I want you to know it’s quite the opposite.” For all the praise heaped upon Meyer, questions have also been raised about whether the military could have prevented the deaths of the five Americans. Two Army officers were reprimanded for being “inadequate and ineffective” and for “contributing directly to the loss of life” following an investigation into the day’s events. Meyer was part of a security team supporting a patrol moving into a village in the Ganjgal Valley on Sept. 8, 2009. Suddenly, the lights in a nearby village went out and gunfire erupted. About 50 Taliban insurgents on mountainsides and in the village had ambushed the patrol. As the forward team took fire and called for air support that wasn’t coming, Meyer begged his command to let him head into the incoming fire to help. Four times he was denied before he and another
confident that the new ward lines would be drawn in time for a charter amendment describing them to be placed on the ballot for the presidential primary. Of course, the presidential primary is a movable feast. Secretary of State Bill Gardner sets the date according to a statute that requires the primary be held seven days before any similar election in another state. Gardner indicated yesterday that with several states toying with their primary dates New Hampshire voters could go to the polls before Valentine’s Day, February 14. Although HB-656 will not significantly impact the current round of redistricting, it would accelerate the process in the future. The bill stipulates that in 2021, when the ward lines are next redrawn, the process “shall be completed by September 1” of the year the census data is released. Moreover, every city would be required to incorporate a redistricting process in its charter by November 1, 2020. The process, the bill continues, need not require putting the new ward boundaries to a popular vote, but would require a public hearing or public notice of the changes proposed. In other words, Laconia, like some other cities, could redraw its ward boundaries by an ordinance enacted by the city council rather than by a charter amendment adopted by popular vote, which would fee the process from the bonds of the electoral calendar. The Special Committee on Redistricting will consider HB-656 on Tuesday, September 20 at 1:30 p.m. and report the bill to the floor of the full House at the session scheduled for October 12. Marine, Staff Sgt. Juan Rodriguez-Chavez, jumped into the Humvee and headed into the fray. For his valor, Rodriguez-Chavez, a 34-year-old who hailed originally from Acuna, Mexico, would be awarded the Navy Cross. With Meyer manning the Humvee’s gun turret, the two drew heavy fire. But they began evacuating wounded Marines and American and Afghan soldiers to a safe point. Meyer made five trips into the kill zone. During that fifth trip into the kill zone, a helicopter arrived at last to provide overhead support. Troops aboard the chopper told Meyer they had spotted what appeared to be four bodies. Meyer knew those were his friends. “It might sound crazy, but it was just, you don’t really think about it, you don’t comprehend it, you don’t really comprehend what you did until looking back on it,” Meyer said. Wounded and tired, Meyer left the relative safety of the Humvee and ran out on foot. Ducking around buildings to avoid gunfire, he reached the bodies of his fallen comrades. Meyer and two other troops dodged bullets and rocketpropelled grenades to pull the bodies out of a ditch where the men had died while trying to take cover.

Community Emergency Response class begins 9/27 LACONIA — Are you prepared for an extended power outage, a fire in your home, or perhaps a medical problem requiring immediate attention? Have you ever learned how to use the fire extinguisher in your kitchen closet or the one in the garage? Do you know what to do when someone is bleeding, choking, having a stroke or heart attack? People can learn all this and more by signing up for a free Community Emergency Response Class. The next class will be offered at the Laconia High School beginning on Tuesday evening, September 27 from 6-8:30 p.m. and will continue weekly for eight weeks. Additional training is available after class completion by joining the Lakes Region Community Emergency Response Team, LR-CERT. This past summer was a busy one for LR-CERT members. There were a number of fires in the city and team members assisted the fire and police depart-
ments by providing water and food for fire fighters and traffic control in the vicinity of the fires. Downed lines during windstorms also brought out the group to assist in closing roads and detouring traffic. CERT members also work with the Gilford Fire Department Search and Rescue Team and were called out to assist with a search operation on Belknap Mountain. During the Timberman Triathlon, the group worked with EMS personnel and provided first aid and triage in the medical tent. Most recently, on Sunday, August 28, Hurricane Irene hit the Lakes Region. LR-CERT opened and operated the regional shelter at the Middle School in Laconia and cared for area residents until they were able to return to their homes. Interested people should call Kathleen Merriam at the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, 528-2145, or email to kmerriam@lrpph.org.

The first workshop will be held on Monday, September 19 from 6-7:30 p.m. at the Laconia Public Library, and the second workshop will be held on Thursday, September 22 from 5-6:30 p.m. at the Gilmanton Year Round Library, Route 140 in Gilmanton Ironworks.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis doesn’t matter who deserves what. Results have more to do with cause and effect and the way energy is exchanged. Put moral judgments aside, and observe what is working and what isn’t. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). What you say won’t make sense to a lot of people. But it will be understood by the one who is on your wavelength. It will be reassuring to know that others think like you sometimes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter what the problem is, it can be looked at in a different way. Perspective is a powerful tool that makes small things big and big things small. Move around until your problem appears to be of manageable scale. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are a social person and will be motivated by the attention you get from others. You have a special way of interacting that gives both you and the other person more energy. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What many mistake for freedom is just another cage made from different materials. True freedom is hard to come by. In some way, you may feel restricted by liberties you claimed long ago. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 16). You will resist authoritative control, recognizing that you are ready to lead your own journey. You will turn a profit in your dealings precisely because your offerings are equitable and realistic. November features social excitement. January begins a most satisfying labor of love. Capricorn and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 3, 20, 48 and 46.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Try to be patient with yourself. You may think that you’re underperforming, but this is probably because you’re not looking at the entire scope of what you do on a daily basis. Give yourself a break. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People try to get away with the silliest things, but you won’t stand for it. In some ways, you’re the judge and enforcer. Someone needs to uphold the laws of common decency. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The person, place or thing you are looking for may not want to be found. Stop searching, and consider that life might be perfect in this moment with exactly what you already have. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have been loyal. You’ve encouraged another person and earned his or her trust. In the course of one day, you have the power to make or break your solid record. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Most of what you’ll do you’ll do alone. But don’t worry if you happen to be outnumbered by the other team. What you lack in support, you make up for in raw talent, energy and ambition. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are very close to being finished with a project, though you wouldn’t know it by the look of things. The final stages seem like total disarray, but in the last moment, things shape up nicely. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Powerful people are not impervious to flattery. They want respect and admiration as much as anyone else -- maybe more. You have a special sense about the ego-needs of others. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It

Page 18 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 16, 2011
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am having an argument with my husband and need an impartial opinion. My daughter, 19, has been dating “Thad,” 21, for four years. Thad recently admitted that he cheated on her, and now she is breaking up with him. She discussed it with me and then sent him a text message that it was over. He texted her multiple times, but she didn’t respond. He wants to get back together and keeps calling her, sometimes keeping her up at night arguing about it. Thad walked over to our house, and when my daughter said she didn’t want to see him, my husband sent him away. My husband then immediately blocked Thad’s phone numbers from all of our cellphones, and the next day, he blocked the boy’s mother’s phone number, as well. He told my younger children to call the police if Thad comes over. I told my husband his reaction was extreme, and now he’s furious with me. He thinks I’m taking Thad’s side and not protecting our daughter. I think this is her first boyfriend, and she needs to know how to break up with someone -how to express her feelings, say it’s over, hang up a phone and not answer annoying texts or emails. Thad is not a violent kid. He’s just hoping my daughter will reconsider. Now my younger children are afraid they will have to call the cops if he comes over. I don’t think my daughter is learning anything when Daddy takes over. He says I don’t live in the real world. Do you think my husband’s actions are extreme? -- Want My Daughter To Be a Strong Woman Dear Want: Yes. We understand his desire to protect his daughter, but he should not be swooping in to handle the unpleasant parts of her love life. It is her responsibility to tell Thad that it’s over, in person, and with conviction. The choice to block his calls belongs to her. Of course, there is
the very rare ex-boyfriend who becomes a stalker and potentially dangerous. If your daughter believes the situation could get violent, she should not see Thad without others present. Daddy should back off and let her grow up. If she needs his help, she will ask for it. Dear Annie: My husband and I are one of four couples in our early 70s who have been friends forever. Recently, one of the men approached the other three women in the group for fun and sex. The three of us immediately told our husbands, who had words with the man. Everyone knows but the unsuspecting wife. The problem now is that six of us can’t stand to be near the man and feel so guilty about keeping this secret from his wife. She will certainly feel betrayed by us when she finds out. What is our alternative? -- Naive in the Midwest Dear Naive: There is another possibility -- this man may have had a small stroke or may be showing early signs of dementia. In some instances, these things interfere with keeping one’s inhibitions intact. Tell his wife that her husband’s behavior has seemed “off” to you, and urge her to get him to the doctor. Dear Annie: I agree with your response to “Detroit, Mich.,” who suffers from depression. I am an 18-year-old girl and have severe depression and have attempted suicide multiple times. I, too, was scared to talk to school counselors, friends and family because I believed they would think I was crazy. It wasn’t until recently that I told my parents how I’ve been feeling. It was hard to do, but worth it. I now have the support of my parents and friends. I receive counseling and am on an antidepressant. You should be able to rely on the people you love the most. -- Longview, Wash.

Auditions for Streetcar’s ‘Miracle Worker’ next Monday and Tuesday
GILFORD — The Streetcar Company community theater group will hold open auditions for William Gibson’s “The Miracle Worker” at 7 p.m. on September 19-20 at the First United Methodist Church in Gilford. The play follows the struggles of teacher Annie Sullivan to help a blind and deaf Helen Keller adapt to the world around her. Based on Keller’s autobiography, the play was adapted by Gibson from his original teleplay for the 1959 Tony Award winning Broadway production with Anne Bancroft as Sullivan and Patty Duke as
Keller. The two reprised their roles for the 1962 feature film. Director J Alward is looking for men and women aged 18 and older along with several younger girls and one young boy to round out the cast for this production. Those auditioning for the role of Helen are asked to come on Monday with possible callbacks on Tuesday. The performance dates will be December 2-3-4 at Laconia High School. More information can be found on www.streetcarcompany.com or by calling the director at 527-0152.

Jon Brooks at Canterbury Shaker village at Saturday’s wool day
CANTERBURY — Internationally acclaimed sculptor and furniture master Jon Brooks will make a presentation ‘A Collaboration with Nature’, at Canterbury Shaker Village’s 25th annual Wool Day Festival on Saturday, September 17. His 2 p.m. talk will focus on his artistic process and the influence of nature on his work. He will show his techniques from start to finish with examples of work that span from the late 1960s up to the present, including a ladder chair crafted from root and trunk sections of large trees. Brooks is well known for the innovative quality, poetic imagery, and sometimes playful nature of his work. His pieces are inspired by and constructed from the trunks and branches of trees that he harvests from the forest surrounding his New Boston home. Brooks’ furniture has been represented in major museum collections including the Smithsonian American Art Museum, Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Currier Museum of Art in Manchester, and most recently in the New Hampshire Furniture Masters 2011 Collection on display in the Carriage House at Canterbury Shaker Village. The festival, an increasingly popular fall event that attracts visitors from all over New England, will run from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. On the same day, the Village will be opening the doors to the newly renovated Carriage House with three new
exhibits. Shaker Furniture, In Its Place: Designs for a Spiritual Clarity, shows how the physical design and characteristics of furniture helped to promote a spiritual clarity in Shaker life. Upstairs will be a visiting exhibit by the New Hampshire Furniture Masters Association (NHFMA), called A Tradition of Craftsmanship which exemplifies how the Shaker tradition of quality hand work and ingenuity still applies to the work of contemporary artists today. Several of the pieces in the NHFMA collection on display will be paired with authentic Shaker furniture including a pair of Jon Brook’s intriguing ladder chairs contrasted next to Shaker ladder chairs. A third exhibit, A Shaker Childhood, offers the visitor a sense of what it was like grow up in the Village. In addition to the grand opening of the Carriage House, the Village will be marking its 25th anniversary of Wool Day, a celebration of the fiber arts. Throughout the day, there will be hands-on activities for the whole family, handcrafted items for sale, textile demonstrations, fiber producing animals on display, sheep herding, and even a llama fashion show. Several members of the NHFMA will also be on hand to demonstrate techniques in furniture making. For more information, tour descriptions, hours, and admission prices, please visit www.shakers.org.
