Commission goes with new flow on Wyatt Park courts BY ROGER AMSDEN
2012 SKI-DOO MXZ 800 E-TEC
LACONIA, N.H.
LACONIA — The Laconia Parks and Recreation Commission last night accepted a new concept plan for Wyatt Park which would see the park’s two basketball courts remain in their current location and create a crushed stone walkway around the fenced-in perimeter of the park. The plan, developed by residents of the Wyatt Park neighborhood, was presented to the commission by Heidi Bright, spokes-
person for the Wyatt Park group, who said that as part of the process of developing the plan, abutters to the project were surveyed and that they favored the new concept by a 22-1 vote. Bright’s plan was developed after residents of the area and Ward 4 Councilor Brenda Baer had expressed dissatisfaction with a plan submitted in July by by Kevin Dunleavy, the city’s Parks and Facilities director, which called for a single basketaball court next to Garfield Street.
Dunleavy’s plan had been drawn up at the request of the commission, which felt at that time the consensus was that the neighbors in the Center Street area wanted them moved or even taken out altogether. But Bright and others from the area said that the extra police presence over the last several months has made a big difference in the behavior of those using the court and that troublemakers are now staying away from the area. see WYATT PARK page 9

French court to rule Tues. on blocking more topless photos of Kate
NANTERRE, France (AP) — Lawyers for Prince William and wife Kate asked a French court on Monday to block further publication of topless photos of the Duchess of Cambridge, saying the two were sharing a deeply intimate moment caught by the snap of an intruding photographer — images that ended up last week in a popular French gossip magazine, then in publications in two other countries. The court in Nanterre, outside Paris, said it would announce its ruling at noon Tuesday on the request to stop Closer from reproducing the images. The magazine published 14 of the images of a partially clad Kate in its pages on Friday. On Monday, an Italian magazine, Chi, Chi published a 26-page spread of the photos of Kate. . Chi, like Closer, is part of the Italian publishing house Mondadori, owned by former Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi. An Irish tabloid pubsee PHOTOS page 10

WASHINGTON (AP) — Already scrambling to steady a struggling campaign, Republican Mitt Romney confronted a new headache Monday after a video surfaced showing him telling wealthy donors that almost half of all Americans “believe they are victims” entitled to extensive government support. He added that as a candidate for the White House, “my job is not to worry about those people.” President Barack Obama’s campaign quickly seized on the video, obtained by the magazine Mother Jones and made public on a day that Romney’s campaign conceded it needed a change in campaign strategy to gain momentum in the presidential race. “There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what,”
noun; 1. A full, rich outpouring of melodious sound. 2. The compass of a voice or instrument. 3. A fixed standard of pitch. — courtesy dictionary.com
Romney is shown saying in a video posted online by the magazine. “There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe that government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it.” “Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax,” Romney said. Romney said his role “is not to worry about those people. I’ll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Romney’s campaign did not dispute the authenticity of the video, instead releasing a statement seeking to clarify his remarks. “Mitt Romney wants to help all Americans
struggling in the Obama economy,” spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said. “He is concerned about the growing number of people who are dependent on the federal government.” About 46 percent of Americans owed no federal income tax in 2011, although many of them paid other forms of taxes. More than 16 million elderly Americans avoid federal income taxes solely because of tax breaks that apply only to seniors, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. Obama’s campaign called the video “shocking” “It’s hard to serve as president for all Americans when you’ve disdainfully written off half the nation,” Obama campaign manager Jim Messina said in a statement. see VIDEO page 13
Video shows Libyans trying to rescue U.S. ambassador after attack
CAIRO (AP) — Libyans tried to rescue Ambassador Chris Stevens, cheering “God is great” and rushing him to a hospital after they discovered him still clinging to life inside the U.S. Consulate, according to witnesses and a new video that emerged Monday from last week’s attack in the city of Benghazi. The group of Libyans had stumbled across Stevens’ seemingly lifeless form inside a dark room and didn’t know who he was, only that he was a foreigner, the man who shot the video and two other wit-

nesses told The Associated Press. The account underlines the confusion that reigned during the assault by protesters and heavily armed gunmen that overwhelmed the consulate in Benghazi last Tuesday night, killing four Americans, including Stevens, who died from smoke inhalation soon after he was found. U.S. officials are still trying to piece together how the top American diplomat in Libya got separated from others as staffers were evacuated, suffocating in what is believed to be a consulate safe-room.

The Libyans who found him expressed frustration that there was no ambulance and no first aid on hand, leaving him to be slung over a man’s shoulder to be carried to a car. “There was not a single ambulance to carry him. Maybe he was handled the wrong way,” said Fahd al-Bakoush, a freelance videographer who shot the footage. “They took him to a private car.” U.S. and Libyan officials are also trying to determine who was behind the attack.

At debate, Guinta says he’s not interested in making it easier for N.H. residents to commute to Mass. for work
MANCHESTER (AP) — U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta said Monday he opposes federal subsidies for high speed rail in New England in part because he objects to New Hampshire residents traveling out of state to work. Guinta’s comments came during his first post-primary forum with his Democratic challenger, Carol Shea-Porter. The two are in a rematch of 2010, when Guinta, the former mayor of Manchester, unseated Shea-Porter, who had held the 1st Congressional District seat for two terms. While high speed rail may provide an economic boost to communities along the route, Guinta said it doesn’t make sense in New Hampshire because it’s too expensive, it’s not self-sustaining and because the population base is too small. “I never quite understood this notion of sending our residents out of state to work someplace else,” Guinta said. “I understand, particularly from my 10 years as mayor, the economic impact along the corridor, but I think there’s a lot of different ways we can grow our economy here in New Hampshire.” Shea-Porter replied that the state’s unemployment rate would be far higher if southern New Hampshire residents stopped commuting to Massachusetts. She backs federal help for high speed rail because it reduces highway congestion and gas consumption. “Of course we need high speed rail,” she said. “Anybody who’s ever traveled down the I-93 corridor knows it; anyone who’s ever had the pleasure of traveling by train to work understands that this is a good way to travel.” “Where does the money come from?” Guinta asked. The closest the two came to agreeing on any issue was when, in a nod to Twitter, they were asked to describe their economic philosophies in 140 charac-
ters or less. “Pro-growth economic principles, predictability for job creators and entrepreneurs, and reducing federal government oversight into our personal and business lives,” Guinta said, going well over the character limit. Shea-Porter started her answer in exactly the same way, saying “Pro-growth economic principles, working hard to support industry, both small business and large.” Though she kept that answer brief, she spent much of the rest of the time interjecting during Guinta’s answers and talking over the forum’s moderator. Asked about energy policy, both Guinta and SheaPorter advocated an “all of the above” approach to alternative energy, but they tangled over the details. Guinta said instead of picking winners and losers, the federal government should either provide the same subsidies for all energy industries or none at all. Shea-Porter said that sounds good, but said in reality, Guinta has backed subsidies for the oil and gas industry over renewable energy by voting for Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan. On health care, Shea-Porter said President Barack Obama’s health insurance overhaul legislation will help small businesses because they ultimately will have healthier, more productive workers. And bringing young people into the insurance risk pool will eventually slow the rate of insurance premium increases, she argued. Guinta, who favors repealing the law, declined to say what aspects of it, if any, he would keep in place. But he said the business people he’s spoken too say they are spending more money on compliance. “I’ve yet to meet anyone who’s said to me, ‘Thank goodness for the Accountable Care Act,” he said.
CONCORD (AP) — A Sanbornton woman has been sentenced to three years in prison after she pled guilty to being the getaway driver in a violent robbery at Kay Jewelers in Tilton last November. Twenty-five-year-old Shyloe Piper Johnson pleaded guilty in May to being the getaway driver in the jewelry store robbery and being the look-out in the December robbery of the Northeast Credit Union in Manchester.
Three men wearing Halloween masks from the movie “Scream” threatened customers with a gun and smashed jewelry cases with a hammer, making off with more than $200,000 in merchandise in the jewelry store robbery. Johnson’s former boyfriend, Walter Williams of Compton, Ca., pleaded guilty to both robberies but has not yet been sentenced. Another man also plead guilty; the third is awaiting trial.

Annuity Owners Beware!!!
If you own an annuity, please pay attention to the suggestions in this article before it is too late. Tax structuring an annuity properly is imperative because the income tax liability on death benefits is both punitive and taxable to the beneficiaries. While this sounds very confusing, it is important to understand that annuity beneficiaries receive tax liability on the gains of the annuity left to them. In other words they have to pay the taxes on any gains on your deferred annuity if you haven’t. Let me explain with a real life example. The Cost of Not Knowing About 5 years ago, a woman came in to see me about converting her annuity to a life insurance policy. Her husband had died 4 ½ years earlier and the annuity had been left to accumulate. Unfortunately, the agent had written the annuity so that the children were the outright beneficiaries. The wife had no claim to this money! Moreover, the entire interest in the annuity ($280,000) must be distributed within five years of the owners death. (IRC Section 72 (5) (1)) Therefore, since the end of the five years was near, the entire annuity had to be distributed to the children very soon and the tax bill would exceed $50,000!! I am not trying to point out any wrongdoing by this agent, but it is important to understand how taxes work on annuities when the annuitant dies. It would have been better if the wife had been made the beneficiary or the husband and wife named joint owners or joint annuitants. The lack of knowledge caused this family a large unnecessary premature tax bill. Ensuring that an annuity is structured properly will minimize or eliminate the tax implications for beneficiaries. Therefore, I highly suggest you review annuities you currently own and determine how the annuity is titled. This could make all the difference in the world, especially at death or disability, As evidenced by the above example. Annuities are wonderful products designed for tax deferred growth and income, and I might add “income for life”. However, if not structured properly, they are not as attractive as other instruments to leave as a death benefit. Talk to your advisor about the many “repositioning strategies” which can minimize these tax implications. Remember taking no action is a decision by default. All the best and see you next week. ••• Dave Kutcher is now a contributing writer for FOX Business News! Certified in Long-Term Care Planning (CLTC), he owns and operates DAK Financial Group LLC.

When lie becomes truth When a lie is repeated often enough, it becomes accepted as truth. And, if you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. Those words describe what is called propaganda. For some time now, we have been bombarded with people telling us that moral is immoral, and that immoral is moral. Most often, it’s all done in the name of political correctness, which is the new amoral religion. It is difficult for us to accept that propaganda is used to influence the citizens in this, our freedom loving country. Of course, knowing that a free people would object to “propaganda”, it has been renamed and today it’s simply called “spin”. For example, for many, the current hot-button topic is contraception, “free” contraception. The spin is that there is a “war against women”, and it is being waged by “right wing extremists”. An extremist is identified as anyone objecting to the federal government imposing a regulation requiring religious institutions to violate their conscience and their teachings and provide “free” contraception to women. In the August 30, issue of The Citizen, the front page highlighted a picture of Sandra Fluke, the poster child for the “free” contraception issue, as she told her story to some residents of Meredith. Previously, in a mock Congressional hearing, Ms. Fluke had bemoaned the fact that the student health insurance at Georgetown University Law School, did not provide her with “free” contraceptive pills. She is now making rounds, sponsored by and paid for by who knows, claiming, because they are not provided with “free” contraception, there is a war against women. Ms. Fluke is a third year law student at Georgetown, where normal tuition is about $55,000 per year. Georgetown is a Catholic University and contraception is against the moral teachings of the Catholic Church. Within walking distance to Ms. Fluke’s school is a Target store which provides a month’s supply of the contraceptive pill for $9. Isn’t it odd that Ms. Fluke can afford to get an advanced degree from a prestigious school, but doesn’t have sufficient funds to pay $9 a month for contraception? (By the way, the median starting salary for a Georgetown Law graduate is $160,000.) It is worth noting that the Obama Administration did not seek a “vote” on this issue, it compelled
companies and institutions to provide a wide range of contraceptive methods and devices by issuing a mandate as part of its “Obamacare” regulations. Of course if the issue had been put to a vote it would certainly have been rejected as being in violation of the First Amendment which reads, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; . . .”. It appears that the big lie, the spin that is being repeated over and over again, is that without “free” contraception, women’s health is at risk, and therefore there is a war against women. And, those who are doing the spinning are hopeful that people will accept the lie as truth . . . and the First Amendment be damned. There are other bits of propaganda, spin, that are being foisted on the American people. We are told that Planned Parenthood performs millions of breast cancer screenings. What we’re not told is that Planned Parenthood does not have a single mammogram machine. We are also told that only 3-percent of their women’s health services involve abortion. But they don’t tell you that they are comparing the near 400,000 abortions they perform each year to administrative work, inquiries and referrals. Actually, Planned Parenthood is responsible for approximately one third of all abortions in this country. And, while the Hyde Amendment for many years prevented government funds from being used to provide abortions, they don’t mention that money is “fungible”. This allows for accounting gimmickry, technically using government funds for other non-abortion services, thereby freeing up money intended for those other services to be used for abortions. We’re also not told that Planned Parenthood’s annual income exceeds a billion dollars and that this “non profit” routinely has annual unspent income ranging from fifty thousand to over one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars. The taxpayers are providing about 40-percent of the organizations total funding, but not getting back any of the unused excess funds. Sadly, these are but a few of the examples about how lies are being substituted for truth . . . where the government is complicit in attempting to redefine what is moral. Is the propaganda, the spin, knowingly or unknowingly being disseminated by a compliant press? Have you bought into it? (Bob Meade is Laconia resident.)
LETTERS Character matters, we don’t need ‘Tricky Dick’, Jr. in N.H. Senate To the editor, Character matters. When we vote, we aren’t just voting for a certain position on issues, we are also electing a particular person to serve in the office. Over the past few weeks, we have learned too many dark and disturbing things about Josh Youssef, who’s running for the State Senate. Court records show he owes maybe as much as $50,000 in unpaid income tax. He went through a contested divorce. Judges and guardians consistently ruled against him, including on child custody. After he lost in court, Mr. Youssef is now trying to make an end run around the justice system, working with his extremist friends in the Legislature to impeach and remove the judges from the bench. He has also digitally stalked and smeared the court-appointed guardian for his son. Another judge has found that he hid income and assets in order to evade paying additional child support for his own son. Aside from trying to use government to pursue a personal agenda of revenge, he also apparently used dirty tricks in his campaign to win his State Senate nomination. His campaign distributed fliers with a handwrit-
ten note designed to mislead Franklin residents into thinking that their mayor supported him. The mayor actually supported his opponent. He’s now under investigation by N.H.’s Attorney General for creating a phony website that looks almost identical to a real blog written by his ex-wife’s lawyer. This fake blog, which was tied to Mr. Youssef by tracing the web address, attempted to discredit the lawyer as well as to make it appear that he also supported the Youssef candidacy. Even his own party’s Senate president and majority leader have publicly expressed concern about all this, saying that “these allegations are serious and deserve to be fully investigated.” This all shows an alarming pattern of vendettas and deceit. It would be better if this self-proclaimed guardian of “family values” began with his own family. Or if this supposed champion of individual rights and democracy didn’t try to undermine them by underhanded election tactics. Given all the real challenges New Hampshire faces, we can’t afford any “Tricky Dicky” wannabees in the State Senate. Werner Dietrich Laconia
What is Romney proposing anyway? Elect him & he’ll tell you To the editor, In a time of massive unrest in the Middle East — created in some respects by our liberties and freedom of speech, by an idiot trying to create trouble, as of now the author of these insulting words is unknown but unfortunately there will be some who feel inspired by the authors rants. So some hurl meaningless insults about our president and show their lack of patriotism. Of course a lack of the actual facts might have something to do with trying to get into the fray. When John Huntsman was asked what Gov. Romney was proposing he couldn’t answer, matter of fact, no one on the Morning Joe show could answer. What is Romney proposing anyway — elect him and he’ll tell you (maybe someone will tell him by then). At times both R&R appear to be no better than some of the children outside our embassies — just waiting for the next rock to throw at the presi-
might have a “nuke” button instead of a rock. Fact checking (they don’t believe in that either) will be to late. So, Romney, now an expert on foreign policy, has said that he both agrees and differs with the president. Kinda like his views on ObamaCare, or when he said “I stand behind what I said whatever it was and whenever I said it” or something like that. Basically, if words keep on falling out of his mouth something might make sense sometime. Too bad, because now the GOP has 20/20 vision and an opinion on this. The GOP backed Bush’s invasions and nation building policies so the whole Middle East would have a democracy. Now they have it and are using it and the GOP is crying because they don’t like the results. All it takes is a small group of fanatics to start the whole area burning. R&R would look like the supermarket boy at the end of the Animal House movie — stay calm, stay calm. Jon Hoyt

LETTERS Democrats have controlled education since the 60s? Is it better? To the editor, I guess Steve Merrill missed the point of my letter of August 30th. The facts are really quite simple. We cannot spend money we do not have unless we borrow it. The state cannot print money like the federal government but some how the opinion of some is, let’s just get it from the government. Well I ask where does the government get the money to spend? They get it from taxes, tolls, fees, and other charges on every business, industry and person who produces. When the government spends money they have to hire the producers, builders and contract from Industry for all that they spend. The government removes the tax from you and I and if we own a business we get some of it back. Sounds like a good deal if the government was spending only the dollar it collects. Our federal government is not spending only the tax revenue it collects but the revenue it plans to collect from our children in their life time and our children’s children. We all borrow from time to time but this president is borrowing so much that the government will not be able to pay down it’s debt unless the economy improves. But debt will cause the cost’s to go up and the quantitative easing, borrowing from the left pocket to put in the right pocket, doesn’t solve the problem. Sooner of later the banks foreclose. In New Hampshire we told the people who elected us we would be good stewards of their hard earned money. Try to keep taxes low and try to reduce spending. The past two years the Republicans kept that promise. We reduced the budget by $800-million because we looked at revenues and said that’s all the money we have. Our federal government however, is not looking at revenues and a budget. They are not even working from a budget. Spending without a budget is what children do when mommy and daddy take them to the store. Unless they are taught how to spend and how to save they only see goodies and want more, more, more. And you thought you elected grown ups?
What I don’t understand is how the Democrat Party will criticize those who will not spend or waste money and claim they are for the middle class. They are for the war on poverty but not for making money or profits. They are for a women’s right to choose to kill an unborn child but not for the death penalty for a person who murders the mother and the child. They are for the right to choose unless it involves where you work, what you eat, or what you can say about someone. They will complain when we don’t repair a road but they wouldn’t let us drill for oil or natural gas or use nuclear power to keep the cost down on the production of roads, bridges, steel or timber. The unnecessary rules and regulations that are put in place to hinder the production of those items needed to build the highways, bridges and transportation lines are being driven out of this country as is the energy sector. It is like the Democrats want to stand in the middle of the road and “complain it’s all someone else’s fault.”. Maybe we should have more mirrors to hold out for them to look at. They say they are for education but they have controlled the school system since the 60s and each year we see more failure and less accountability. It cost 10 times the money to educate a child today than it did 10 years ago and we have a failure rate of students and school higher than ever. An article in the Meredith News on May 17th headline read, “Three IL Schools fall short of AYP” What I can see is that government is not the solution. It is the problem! Bureaucrats should be limited in their rules, people should be allowed to make more decisions for themselves and if hey fail to make the right decision, they should be allowed to fail. Businesses should all be allowed to prosper or fail. All these bad decisions should not be propped up on the back of those of us willing to work hard and be creative. Rep. Bob Greemore Meredith

Liberal policies always the hurt middle class more than the rich To the editor, I was very pleased to read in Paul Bonneville’s letter of September 5 in The Laconia Daily Sun that he is doing better now than four years ago — so few people are doing better. He talks about the stock market “recovery”, of course that only helps if you have money and managed to invest in the right stocks. Perhaps Bonneville is in the 1-percent? President Obama’s war on the wealthy apparently is working as reports are that higher wage incomes are down 15-20-percent. Frankly, I don’t see how that helps me, it certainly doesn’t make it easier for me to pay my bills. And, I haven’t figured out why I should be happy that any American is less well off. The success of President Obama’s war on the wealthy has come at the cost of an 8-percent loss in middle class incomes
(from about $55,000 to about $51,000) and about 24-million unemployed or underemployed workers, including huge numbers of minority workers and recent college graduates. I wonder how many unemployed are millionaires or billionaires? The impact of President Obama’s policies hurt the middle class much more than cutting a millionaire’s income to $800,000 or a billionaire’s income to “only” $800-million. Liberals/progressives claim to be for the middle class and against the rich, but their policies always hurts the middle class much more than the rich. President Obama’s policies are very good at making the middle class poorer. You should vote to re-elect President Obama if you want the middle class to continue to lose jobs, income and net worth.

LETTERS Until the union structure is removed public education is doomed To the editor, People like Martin Carney of Sandwich attack me personally but no one disputes my facts. They can’t, they are DEAD ACCURATE. Since 1970 we have about DOUBLED the number of people working in public education in America during anemic increases in school populations. Two thirds as teachers or aides. We have more than tripled teacher income and upgraded their benefits to a gold standard compared to the majority of workers. Our reward for stuffing class rooms with bodies and stuffing teacher paychecks? Forty straight years of stagnation or decline in academic performance in Americas schools. There is no direct or even indirect correlation between wages and student performance in public schools. If there was, teachers would be SCREAMING & DEMANDING student test results be tied to their increases as prima fascia justification they deserve higher pay. AND GREAT EVIDENCE IT WOULD BE. The exact opposite is true. Teachers fight wage increases tied to evidence they have have educated ANY student with their union teeth gnashing. High education drama drama played out last year in Wisconsin. Teachers unions are not going to let the failed structure of Education easily change. They are the BIG WINNERS and the ONLY winners under the status quo. Governor Walker required round the clock body guards. Teacher angst and hate had been incited to fever pitch by union presidents. Obama weighed in for the teachers. The teachers still lost public opinion and their vote. Teachers & UNIONS LOST again in the recall despite freight trains of union dough sent to defeat Walker. A new round of the teachers union drama plays out today. In Chicago 350,000 students were turned lose on Monday when 26,000 teachers struck in the 3rd largest school district in America with demands for higher wages, better benefits and stone
walling reforms to hold them more accountable for the academic performance of their students. This drama is DIFFERENT. It is not some republican demanding changes. It is a very high profile democrat Rham Emanuel the mayor of Chicago ( 712 million in DEBT) and Obama’s former right hand man. A celebrity democrat like Rham forcing stiff reforms on democratic teacher unions. What a SIGHT to behold. Even celebrated donkey types have come to recognize the cesspool of failure public education in America has become. They demand changes that are bankrupting their cities and states no matter the INSTANT teacher outrage and union backlash toward them. SOMEONE is finally putting the KIDS FIRST. Chicago school teachers are among the highest paid in the country averaging about $ 76,000 in salary and another $15,000 in benefits for $91,000 in total. ONLY 15% of kids in 4th grade in Chicago read at grade level and only about 56% of them ACTUALLY graduate 40% of Chicago public teachers send their kids to PRIVATE SCHOOL. What the hell does that tell you. Is there any wonder teachers do not want their pay tied in any way to results. UNTIL the union STRUCTURE is REMOVED from public EDUCATION this country is DOOMED. The most celebrated democrat of all time FDR fought the unionization of the public sector his entire life. He said public union employees vote would be BOUGHT politically. It has been, OBAMA BUYS it. Private enterprise can fire workers or close. The public sector can’t. FDR recognized this. Unions know this. It offers them unbelievable leverage. The result, continual BLOATED and EXPENSIVE failure. No place is this BLOAT & FAILURE more apparent than in Americas public schools from coast to coast. WAKE UP AMERICA ! Tony Boutin Gilford
It’s time to give the kids a break and vote Obama out of office To the editor, As our flags fly at half mast today in remembrance of the 9/11 victims eleven years ago, Muslim radicals are celebrating once again in the Middle East. Our embassy’s in Libya and Egypt were attacked. One American reported dead and one injured in Libya, our flag torn down, ripped apart and replaced with an Islamic flag in Egypt. So where is the president, where is Obama? The lame response from the administration said we must be sensitive to Muslim feelings. I just have to ask, why? Muslims show no sensitivity or respect for the feelings of anyone else of any other religion or culture. Seems sharia law allows them to lie, torture, enslave, or kill anyone in the name of their religion but were supposed to be sensitive. So far this is the result of Obama’s failed foreign policy, his apology tours and his “I will stand with the Muslims” attitude. It’s what comes of electing a slick talker with no experience with anything except dividing people and creating anger and dissension. Obama can’t fix the economy, he doesn’t have a
clue about how it works. His only plan is to raise taxes, borrow and spend and print more paper money as he needs it. Gee we’re only over $16-trillion in debt now, what’s a few trillion more? After all America is to big to fail, just like Fannie May and Freddie Max. You know, it will not be the 1-percent rich who are going to be hurt by things like his energy policy, his immigration policy, or any of the rest of his Marxist socialist policy’s it will be working families, poor and the elderly. He keeps trying to blame Republican free enterprise for the reduction of our middle class. He believes he can grow the middle class with welfare and unemployment checks instead of work checks. It won’t work it will just continue to reduce the number of workers and increase the numbers on government dependency. America is not to big to fail readers, it can happen but we can prevent that by voting Obama out in November. Your grandchildren already owe $51,000 of debt and growing. It’s time to give the kids a break. Steve Earle Hill

LETTERS Romney has served his country, his church & his family for decades To the editor, Why Mitt Romney? The Republican National Convention and the Democrat National Convention are behind us. I am pretty happy about that! I don’t know about you, but I do get tired of hearing the blame that continues to be tossed around, and I get tired of the pointing fingers. It would seem as though the adult thing to do would be to take responsibility for what we have done as a nation and move forward. The more complaining and whining there is, the more time is wasted — would you agree? We have a big job before us. I suggest that instead of focusing on trying to solve the many problems our nation faces, let’s decide what we want and work toward that. Once we know what we want for our families and our country, then we can pick the candidate we feel will get that accomplished. Does that make sense? I know what I want. • A balanced Budget • A strong military • Jobs that pay enough to support families — and lots of them! • Reasonably priced higher education • A competitive market for health insurance companies (let them cross state lines and then the market will drive the price down) • Independence from foreign oil • Term limits for Congress — and they no longer get to vote themselves a raise, they have to get that approved by us! • Photo ID requirement to vote • Repeal of ObamaCare — I am of the opinion that we should not be forced by the government to buy something we do not want. As someone who is self-employed, I carry my own health insurance because I choose to. I would like the freedom to choose not to and take that risk if I so desire.
Those are some of the basic things that I personally want. Now, who of the two candidates do I think will be able to get this job done? Mitt Romney. Why Mitt Romney? His experience in business will serve our country well. He has experience working across party lines and uniting two different sides so that they can work together. I have not seen that with our current president. What I have seen from President Obama is someone who is stubborn and unwilling to compromise. He has been unable to get Republicans to compromise — so the final results is that he has not been successful in governing. There was talk at the Democratic National Convention about how President Obama listens to the American people and stands up for them — the “average American”. I don’t believe it for a minute. The majority of “average Americans” did NOT want ObamaCare. We didn’t want it. We screamed loudly and clearly that we didn’t want it. We made a lot of noise about it. Both Democrats and Republicans. And, he didn’t listen. Governor Romney’s character is impeccable. Whether someone likes him or not, you cannot take away from the fact that he has served his country, his church and his family for decades — many of those years without monetary compensation. He gives generously — both with his time and his money. Whether you agree with him or not, that speaks volumes about his character. I would encourage you to make a list of what you want and then take a look at which candidate will most likely get the job done. For me — I’ll be voting early and my vote will be for Mitt.

We’ve got to hold officials to highest standard of honesty & integrity To the editor, It was truly amazing watching the Democrat Convention. Was that the best they could do? First, we learn that Democrat Committee Chairman Debbie Wasserman Shultz blatantly lied when she stated that the Israeli ambassador described Republican policies toward Israel as “dangerous for the Jewish State”, and she did this just to persuade fellow Jewish Americans to vote for Obama. Then she chose the mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigoso, to host their convention. It’s a fact that he brought L.A. to the point of bankruptcy. He was hit with the city’s largest ethics violation in its 200-year history. He was dubbed a total failure and the progressive LA weekly dubbed him the 11-percent mayor because he was never there. Shultz was well aware of his record. Couldn’t she find someone with a little more integrity? I was surprised it took three votes to get the word “God” and “Jerusalem as the capital of Israel” back into the Democratic Platform. It sure did disappoint the majority of the delegates, who voted to keep those things out. William Jefferson Clinton. Now there’s a stand-up guy. He was impeached as president for lying under oath to the grand jury about his
intern! Yet they continue to trust a person who will perjure himself. “Sandra the Fluke,” once again, got the chance to cry about not being able to afford her $10 birth control pills. Quite a platform they had going! Evidently, they are proud of guest speaker Mr. Barney Frank who, along with Chris Dodd, watched over Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac, as they bankrupted the housing market. If Barney didn’t retire, he would have been reelected regardless of his poor record. Why is it so hard for the left to find candidates with honesty and integrity? Why do they refuse to vote them out when it is proved they cannot be trusted? Why do they re-elect candidates, like Charles Wrangle, whom they know have broken the law? I find it dangerous to the welfare of our great country that they do not hold their elected officials to highest of standards. I realize that there are bad candidates in both parties — Richard Nixon, as an example — but at least he had enough integrity to resign when he was impeached, unlike Clinton who is still held in the highest esteem by the left. I will never understand this. How low does a person have to go before they will turn against him? We must hold our elected officials to the highest standard of honesty and

Your journey to living pain-free!
To the editor, The jobs report that came out today, September 7, was horrible. Recovery! — you liberals shout unabashedly? Balderdash, most economists say. We are at the cusp of a double dip recession. Another four years of Obamania will surely bring one, followed by a Greece-like fiscal calamity by 2016. Unemployment “dipped” to 8.1-percent, bringing us to 43 consecutive months of over 8-percent unemployment. The real unemployment rate is 11.2-percent when you count the many thousands of folks who gave up looking for work. Those, would be the same former workers our government then pretends no longer exist. Ten thousand baby boomers retiring every day. Another five thousand or so are leaving the workforce every day because of jobs lost, ending up on unemployment or disability or the many government entitlement programs which are weighing down our rapidly expanding safety net, now nearing the breaking point. Twice, before becoming our 44th president, Barack Obama said raising taxes in a recession is a very bad idea. Yet, that’s what he now thinks is a very good idea. With roughly 15 thousand people leaving the workforce every day, how much longer can the diminishing number of taxpayers continue to fund all the non-working disabled, the working poor who pay no federal income taxes and the rapidly growing retirement population? I am not saying President Obama wants this country to fail. However, after three and a half years of his failed policies and after that many years of research and vetting of our president, there are some things that are now crystal clear. We know he is imbued with the socialist, big government, central planning model, as the way a country ought to be run. He believes that is the only system which can bring our economy back. So ingrained is that belief, he continues to promote liberal lies and the
truth is ignored, though it smacks up against his Marxist ideals like an angry wave against a crumbling sea wall. 4.5-million jobs have been created under his watch while 5.1-million jobs have been lost, yet all we hear about is net jobs gained. Here’s another blatant, made up liberal factoid — Romney/ Ryan medicare plan will cost seniors $6,400 per year and they will be forced into voucher programs. David Harsanyi asserts that there is not one study done to prove that wild accusation. Ryan’s plan allows seniors to stay on the Medicare program if they so choose. Another despicable, Democrat lie perpetuated to scare seniors, is highlighted by the disgracefully, dishonest story about Romney being the cause of a steelworker wife’s death from cancer. Though Bain Capital was successful in 78-percent of the companies that it attempted to rescue, Democrats spread the story that more people lost their jobs than were saved. Another complete lie that many readers of the Sun probably believe is true. Bain Capital was a huge success when you weigh the good done versus the bad. Consumer confidence is now the lowest it’s been since November 2011. Is it any wonder? According to the just released Bureau of Labor Statistics, 96,000 jobs were created in August while another 360,000 workers gave up looking for jobs. The national debt passed the $16-trillion mark this week and the USDA reported that there are now 46.7-million people in this country who are food stamp recipients. Dinesh D’Souza uncovered another lie being perpetuated by President Obama and his merry band of liars. Taxpayer reimbursment for the GM bailout will be minimal. Just consider it a gift to our president’s union pals. Don’t believe the phony, fraudulent and deceptive numbers being thrown around by the Democrats. Do your own research and I don’t mean MSNBC or the Jon Stewart show. Russ Wiles Tilton

WYATT PARK from page one ‘’More people, more families are using the park and we’d like to see that continue. The more adult presence the better,’’ said Bright, who is working to get cost estimates for the project within the next few weeks. Dunleavy suggested the cost might be comparable to tennis court resurfacing at Leavitt Park in Lakeport, which is estimated at $50,000. Commission Chairman Jeff Pattison said that the commission would look closely at the plan developed by residents of the neighborhood and that it supports capital improvements for Wyatt Park and would seek funding for them through the city’s Capital Improvements Program (CIP) plan. Baer said that she would like to see work on repairing the present courts start as early as this fall so that some concrete improvements to the park would be visible and keep the momentum in the neighborhood moving forward. She noted that the council has already earmarked more than $50,000 for improvements at the park and action was still possible this year without going through the CIP process. Ward 5 Coucilor Bob Hamel expressed reservations about keeping the courts in their present location, noting that while the increased police presence has made a difference in the behavior of those using the courts, that there is no guarantee that presence can continue at its current high level. ‘’If we do make this capital investment and the problems return what happens then?’’ asked Hamel, who said that until recently the council had received nothing but complaints about the basketball courts in their present location. Pattison said the commission felt the same way when it asked Dunleavy to draft a plan which would move the courts. ‘’All we were hearing was complaints.’’ But Bright said that people in the neighborhood realize that they may not always have the additional police presence but are mobilized, some 75 strong, to show the power of the community in taking control of its own neighborhood and making it a good place for all who live there. The commission also approved the application which the Leavitt Park Association is making to the city’s Trustees of Trust Funds to use funds from the Leavitt Park Trust for a $10,000 floor replacement at the Leavitt Park House. Dunleavy said that he will work with the association and the city’s Purchasing Department in choosing a contractor and making sure that the work is done to specifications. And the commission gave its blessing to capital improvements program which seeks $910,000 for seven priority projects in 2013-2014. More than half of that money, some $550,000, would go towards construction of a community park at the Weirs, a project which has been in the works ever since 1976 when the parkland which is located behind the Weirs Community Center on Lucerne Avenue was acquired with federal funds. A grant is being sought from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund for the project, which would also use a city capital improvements bond issue for funding. Other projects include: — Demolition and reconstruction of the Opechee Park House, $130,000. — Wyatt Park reconstruction, $110,000 — Leavitt and Memorial Park tennis court resurfacing and repairs, $52,000 — Endicott Rock Park beach restoration engineering, $50,000 — Memorial Park bleacher replacement, $28,000 — Purchase of a three-quarter ton 4x4 truck with plow, $40,000.

City fed up with illegal dumping at Messer Back-to-back burglaries at the Weirs on Friday night Street recycling facility; violator sought
LACONIA — Police continue to investigate two burglaries in the Weirs area of the city that were reported within hours of each other Friday evening. Sgt. Dennis Ashley said police initially went to the Broken Spoke Saloon at 4:55 p.m. to learn a door had been pried open and an undisclosed amount of cash and been stolen. Police also said the security camera within the building had been disabled. At 7:50 p.m. police went to the Paugus Bay Campground off Hilliard Road. One victim reported the camper had been forcibly entered and a number of items including a firearm had been stolen. While police were investigating, Ashley said officers discovered a second camper had been targeted – although that one was left unlocked. Police are not saying if they believe the two are related. City police ask people keep their weapons secured and to lock their doors and windows especially if they are not home and for residents to report any suspicious activity to police. Anyone with any information is asked to call Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

LACONIA — Police are seeking assistance from the public in identifying the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, who was recorded illegally dumping construction debris at the remote recycling depot on Messer Street. Detective Kevin Butler said that the surveillance tapes shows an older man with gray hair leaving interior and exterior doors at the site. However, the cameras failed to capture a clear image of the license plate. Ann Saltmarsh of the Department of Public Works said that the illicit disposal of construction debris, including dry wall, shingles and toilets, as well as furniture, appliances, yard waste and hazardous materials, like driveway sealant and paints, has become a “blatant and consistent” problem at the Messer Street site. Those responsible not only avoid paying their share of disposal costs but also add to these costs by requiring employees to dispose of the trash properly. Saltmarsh said that according to a city ordinance illegal dumping carries a fine of up to $500 or as many as 90 days in jail. Butler said that the state law authorizes fines of as much as $1,000 for illegal dumbing cannot exceed $1,000. The surveillance cameras mounted on the rear of the building on Messer Street are connected directly to the Police Department and violators will be identified and prosecuted.
Police are looking for assistance in identifying this man, who they say was taped illegally disposing of doors at the City of Laconia’s recycling collection facility of Messer Street.
PHOTOS from page 2 lished more Kate topless photos over the weekend, drawing a vow from Ireland’s justice minister to revise privacy laws there. The editor of the Irish Daily Star was suspended. The royal couple was sharing a “healthy and profoundly intimate” moment when the photos were taken, their lawyer, Aurelien Hamelle, told the court. The situation was “deeply personal.” Hamelle told the court that he is seeking €5,000 ($6,550) in damages from Closer and an injunction forcing the magazine to stop publication elsewhere, including on the Internet. He also asked the court to fine Closer €10,000 ($13,100) a day for each day the injunction is not respected, and €100,000 ($131,000) if the photos are sold in France or abroad. The photos in question show the Duchess of Cambridge relaxing during a holiday at a private villa in Provence, in southern France, sometimes without her bathing suit top and, in one case, her suit bottom partially pulled down to apply sun screen. William’s St. James’s Palace called the publica-
tions of the photos a “grotesque” invasion of the couple’s privacy. The case centers in part on just how private the villa was and whether, in effect, Kate was to some extent flaunting herself. “It’s not an accessible (view) from the exterior,” Hamelle said of the site — a point contested by Closer’s lawyer, Delphine Pando who said the site is visible from a nearby road. Pando, the lawyer for Closer, asked the court to throw out the royal demand, arguing that the rights to the photos belong to an agency — which sold their use to Closer. She did not give the price. “We are not the owners of these photos,” she said. “The photos are out there. If a TV show wants to show an image of this (magazine) edition, it’s got nothing to do with us.” That argument echoed the stance of the editor of Chi, the Italian magazine. Alfonso Signorini told The Associated Press over the weekend that he didn’t fear legal action since the photos are already in the public domain following Closer’s publication.
LIBYA from page 2 unclear was whether it had been planned beforehand or was sparked by an anti-Islam film made in the United States that, hours before the Benghazi assault, had sparked protests at the American Embassy in Cairo. On Sunday, Libyan President Mohammed elMegarif contended foreign militants had been plotting the attack for months and timed it for Tuesday’s 9/11 anniversary. However, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice said it appeared spontaneous and unplanned, that extremists with heavier weapons “hijacked” the protest and turned it into an outright attack. She noted Libya is awash with weapons. A CIA memo sent to U.S. lawmakers this weekend, and obtained by The Associated Press, says current intelligence still suggests the demonstrations in Benghazi “were spontaneously inspired by the protests at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo” and “evolved into a direct assault” on the diplomatic posts by “extremists.” Soon after the attack, Libyan civilians roamed freely around the trashed consulate, its walls blacked and furniture burned. Among them were the videographer al-Bakoush, and a photographer and art student he often works with. They heard a panicked shout, “I stepped over a see next page

Belmont selectmen forgo bid process to get Church St. bridge repair done ASAP; $125,575 + engineering By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Selectmen voted unanimously yesterday afternoon to award the contract to fix the Church Street bridge over the Tioga River to Busby Construction for $125,575. The money would come from the Bridge Construction and Maintenance Capital Fund and selectmen have control over expenditures from it. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin told selectmen that Busby would bring completely different resources to repair the bridge and the bridge project would not overlap with the ongoing Belmont Village Revitalization Project. “We either go with this or put it out to bid,” said Selectman Ruth Mooney who recommended contracting with Busby because it was not likely a different bidder would come in significantly higher or lower and the bidding process would add time to the repair. The Church Street bridge was ordered closed by selectmen three weeks ago after a routine inspection from the state Department of Transportation determined it was unsafe. The DOT determination came only nine months after a previous inspection that told the town that while the bridge, which is really a roadway over a big culvert, needed repairs it was still safe. Two years ago and in the wake of a different DOT inspection, Beaudin requested that the Church Street Bridge be included in the state’s bridge replacement and construction program and was told
that the earliest Belmont could be scheduled was 2020. She said yesterday that Busby estimated the repair work to be done this time should last between 10 and 15 years and the Church Street Bridge still has a placeholder in the state’s 2020 bridge replacement program. In addition to the $125,575 costs of repair, the town must also spend $9,000 for engineering and $5,000 to the state for a bridge construction permit — a permit that rankles selectmen because they have been told there is no possibility of financial assistance until 2020. The biggest single expense in the estimate is $51,700 for “de-watering” or diverting the Tioga River during construction said Beaudin. Beaudin also told selectmen that permits from the Department of Environmental Services, the N.H. Department of Fish and Game (that will evaluate how fish will swim up the Tioga River), and the state Division of Historical Resources for possible archaeological impact are necessary and are in process. She said permitting is what is slowing the process and, although she has received word from the DES that they will expedite the evaluation, she has gotten no similar communications from Fish and Game and Historical Resources. Selectmen reiterated their goal of getting the bridge repaired by early November and said once all the permitting is in place, the project should take about three weeks, if Mother Nature cooperates.
Laconia gets an ‘A’ from state in motor vehicle registration LACONIA — In June, the Division of Motor Vehicles of the New Hampshire Department of Safety conducted a performance audit of the “municipal agent” responsible for the registration of motor vehicles, City Clerk Mary Reynolds. The auditors found that Reynolds and her staff handled all documents and receipts in accordance
with the relevant state statutes and regulations and noted no deficiencies in the operation of the office. In 2011,Reynolds and her staff registered 17,538 motor vehicles. Through the first six months of 2012 the pace of registrations was ahead of the year before. The proceeds from motor vehicle registrations represents a significant source of revenue to the city.
from preceding page dead man,” and rushed to see what was going on, al-Bakoush said. The body had been found inside a dark room with a locked door accessible only by a window. A group of men pulled him out and realized he was a foreigner and still alive. He was breathing and his eyelids flickered, al-Bakoush said. “He was alive,” he said. “No doubt. His face was blackened and he was like a paralyzed person.” Video taken by al-Bakoush and posted on YouTube shows Stevens being carried out of the room through a window with a raised shutter. “Bring him out, man,” someone shouts. “Out of the way, out of the way!” “Alive, Alive!” come other shouts, then a cheer of “God is great.” The next scene shows Stevens lying on a tile floor, with one man touching his neck to check his pulse. Al-Bakoush said that after that scene, they put Stevens in a private car to rush to the hospital. The video has been authenticated since Stevens’
face is clearly visible and he is wearing the same white t-shirt seen in authenticated photos of him being carried away on another man’s shoulders, presumably moments later. The photographer and student who were with al-Bakoush at the scene gave the same account as he did.

GILFORD — A two-car crash at the traffic light at north end of the Laconia Bypass yesterday morning sent two men to the hospital with what police are describing non-life threatening injuries. Police said Wayne Archibald of Laconia was driving on Route 11 toward Laconia at 11:11 a.m. in an orange 2009 GMC Savana Van owned and lettered by Fisher Auto Parts of Raymond when he slowed for a red light. Jeremie Simmons of Meredith was driving behind Archibald in a blue 2008 Chevrolet Avalanche and apparently became distracted and struck Archibald from behind. The front and passenger side of the Avalanche were seriously damaged causing the airbags to deploy. Simmons told police he was not wearing a seat belt and that he was not
injured but because of the severity of the crash and the damage to the Avalanche, on-scene emergency personnel encouraged him to go to the hospital. The rear of the orange van driven by Archibald was smashed and the frame was damaged. Archibald, who was wearing a seat belt, said he hurt his neck when his head hit the top of the van and he was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for neck injuries. Firefighters said everyone was extremely lucky because no other vehicles in the often busy intersection were struck. Traffic was slowed through the area. Gilford Fire Rescue was assisted by an ambulance from the Laconia Fire Department. Both vehicles were towed and police continue to investigate. — Gail Ober

The correct amount is $93,000. The correct figure, however, was given later in the article.

VIDEO from page 2 An Obama adviser said the Democratic campaign might use Romney’s comments from the fundraising video in television advertisements. The official wasn’t authorized to discuss campaign strategy publicly and requested anonymity. Romney’s 2010 federal tax returns show he paid a tax rate of about 15 percent on an annual income of $21 million. The vast majority of his income came from investments, which are taxed at a lower rate than wages. His wealth has been estimated as high as $250 million. Democrats have tried to make an issue of what Romney pays in taxes and what he is willing to
divulge about his taxes and investments. While he has released his 2010 tax returns and a summary of his 2011 returns, he has rejected calls for releasing as many as 10 years of tax returns. His campaign has pledged to release his complete 2011 returns before the election Nov. 6. The private remarks are the latest in a string of comments from the multimillionaire Republican businessman whom Democrats have criticized as out of touch. During the primary campaign, Romney insisted that he was “not concerned” about the very poor, said he knew what it felt like to worry about being “pink-slipped,” and said that his wife drove see next page

R C RE S T
MEREDITH — With some reservations, the selectmen yesterday agreed to pursue the austere fiscal policy they have followed since 2009 in preparing the 2013 budget. Following an initial discussion last month, Town Manager Phil Warren presented a memorandum reviewing the impacts of past budgets and outlining his recommendations for the next. Warren began by informing the board that the trustees of the New Hampshire Retirement System last week announced that the employer contribution would increase by more than 20-percent and that he has been advised health insurance premiums could jump by an equal amount. He said he has yet to estimate the dollar value of the increases, but remarked “these are pretty significant items to consider.” Beginning in 2009 the board has aimed not to increase the amount raised by property taxes above the level collected in 2008. Warren noted that in 2012 the tax commitment rose slightly and was offset by applying $700,000 from the undesignated fund balance (rainy day fund) to pay for increased expenditures.. Despite the increases, Warren said that services were adversely affected at the Parks and Recreation, Public Works, and Community Development departments and positions at Town Hall remained vacant. At the same time, the scheduled replacement of equipment was deferred. Furthermore, the renovation of Main Street and improvements to the Public Works facility and Town Docks have been stalled. Warren recommended maintaining the level of service offered in 2012, which he said represented a reduction from what was provided in 2008. Again,
he proposed that no new positions or job reclassifications be included in the budget. Nor would new programs or services be introduced. He recommended continuing to fund the Capital Improvement Program with non-recurring funds, chiefly undesignated fund balance. Warren sought the guidance of the board on pay raises. In 2009 a 2.5-percent cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) was granted, but step increases were frozen. Neither a COLA or step increase were granted in 2010. A wage adjustment of 1.25-percent was budgeted in 2011 and again in 2012, when a step increase of 1.25-percent was also granted. Observing that there is “no sign of the economy rallying,” Herb Vadney suggested spending no more than this year, but conceded that may not be possible with the increases in retirement contributions and health insurance premiums. Expressing concern for capital investments, especially vehicle replacements, Peter Brothers remarked “we can’t defer without painful discussion.” Referring to the prospect of another flat budget, he said “I’m getting very nervous with that being the point of fatback” and cautioned “we should be careful about making promises.” In a separate memorandum, Miller Lovett, chairman of the Selectboard, suggested that expansion of the tax base, represented by the value of new construction, could be used to support increased expenditures, particularly to restore reduced services and fund capital projects. However, Warren warned against incorporating expenses supported by volatile revenues in the operating budget. “We’re right back to 2012,” said Nate Torr, “and we’ll see where we go from there. We’ll play the game till the last shot’s fired.”

from preceding page “couple of Cadillacs.” Aides to Obama’s campaign said the latest video would help them continue to make the case that Romney doesn’t understand the concerns of average Americans. Voters say they believe Obama has a better understanding of their problems and concerns than Romney does. A CBS/New York Times poll showed 60 percent of likely voters said Obama understands the needs and problems of people like them, while 37 percent said he did not. For Romney, the same question found that 46 percent felt he did understand people’s needs, 48 percent said he didn’t. The remarks came at a closeddoor fundraiser that Mother Jones reported occurred after Romney had clinched the GOP nomination. To protect the identity of the person who provided the remarks, Mother Jones blurred out the video and did not provide the date or location of the fundraiser. Romney formally clinched the nomination May 29 and formally accepted it last month at the Republican convention in Tampa. Many of the Americans who owe no income tax are reprieved because basic exemptions — such as the “standard deduction” — took their taxable income below the cutoff levels. The other half rely mainly on a variety of tax breaks, such as the credit that helps offset child care costs. These Americans range from the very poor to solidly middle-class families with jobs, homes, cars and vacations. The Tax Policy Center says “relatively few nontaxable households” have incomes exceeding $100,000; families that make between $50,000 and $100,000 often owe no
income tax because of breaks for their kids and for education. Americans who pay no federal income tax still often pay an array of other taxes. They include payroll taxes for Social Security and Medicare, sales taxes, property taxes and state and local taxes. A handful of extremely wealthy families do not pay federal income taxes. This summer the Internal Revenue Service reported that six of the 400 highest-earning households in America owed no federal income tax in 2009. Still, many are low-income Americans. According to the August 2010 AP-GfK poll, a majority of Americans who make less than $30,000 a year are Democrats. But 27 percent identify as Republicans, and 15 percent say they’re independents. About 57 percent say they will vote for Obama, while 38 percent back Romney. About 43 percent identify themselves as conservatives. Obama faced a similar moment in the 2008 campaign, when he told donors that many Americans who are angry about their struggles “cling to their guns or religion.” Romney’s running mate, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, made reference to that remark Monday at a campaign event in Des Moines, Iowa. “I remember that one time when he was talking to a bunch of donors in San Francisco and he said people like us, people from the Midwest like to cling to their guns and religion,” Ryan said. Ryan went on: “And I’ve got to tell you this Catholic deer hunter is guilty as charged and proud to say so. That’s just weird. Who says things like that? That’s just strange.”
MARSHALL from page one ment of Health and Human Services (DHHS) cited the nursing home for numerous deficiencies and twice issued notices that “the conditions ... constituted immediate jeopardy to resident health or safety.” Under Marshall’s leadership the deficiencies were quickly overcome and DHHS has awarded the nursing home perfect scores for the past two years. “It was an amazing turnaround,” said
Ed Philpot, chairman of the Belknap County Commission. “Courtney and his team did a fantastic job.” Shackett said that the commission has not yet had an opportunity to discuss what interim arrangements may be necessary, much less begin the process of appointing a successor. She said that for the moment the nursing home will operate as if the director were on vacation.

Selectboard in December his committee was asked to seek more public response to the proposal. Since then Eifert said the committee has surveyed all 31 property owners whose system were deemed “high risk” but only received four responses, one in favor and two against the ordinance. A second survey excluded the “high risk” property owners, drew 20 responses, 14 in favor, five against the ordinance, along four undecided. Eifert stressed that in keeping with the board’s directive, the committee has not limited its effort to regulation but has also sought to inform property owners of the risks failing septic systems pose to the quality of Lake Waukewan. Nevertheless, he told the selectmen that “we have failed systems out there and we have to find out where they are. We’re dealing with our drinking water supply.” Peter Brothers commended the WWAC for its work while repeating his concern that the ordinance would apply only to Lake Waukewan and not to similarly situated property owners on other water bodies. But, he agreed “while I personally find it a little bit too exclusive, it’s a start.” Herb Vadney questioned whether the designated septic systems were the primary source of the phosphorus threatening the lake. “Are we attacking the real problem here?” he asked, suggesting that the committee consider collecting more data. Eifert acknowledged that the septic systems are “one of many issues” and explained that the committee had neither time nor resources to make thorough assessments of the relative impacts of stormwater run-off and other sources of phosphorus. However, both Eifert and John Edgar, director of Community Development, stressed that the septic systems posed a known risk. Noting that the board had also expressed concern about the financial hardship the ordinance might impose provided a list of possible sources of assistance for hard-pressed property owners, including grants and loans from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, United States Department of Agriculture and United States Department of Housing and Urban Development. The town itself could also make loans subject to a repayment agreement and lien on the property. “With home ownership comes responsibility,” declared Carlka Horne, herself a home inspector, “including the responsibility to maintain a septic system whether on the lake or not.” She remarked that the responsibility was all the greater for those living alongside the town’s sole source of community supplied drinking water. When the board agreed to continue its discussion on October 1, Nate Torr commented “as long as we’re making progress. It’s been seven years.”

MEREDITH — The Board of Selectmen yesterday inched closer to a decision on a proposal to tighten the regulation of septic systems in the Lake Waukewan watershed, first broached by the Waukewan Watershed Advisory Committee (WWAC) in 2005 and initially presented to the board in 2010. After discussing the proposal for the fourth time, the board agreed to return to the subject at another workshop meeting on October 1. The proposal followed from a risk analysis of septic systems within 250 feet of the lake completed in 2009. Altogether 112 septic systems on the Meredith shoreline were graded based on their age, along with the slope of the land and the distance to the water. The systems were grouped into four categories, ranging from very high risk to low risk. Thirty-one systems were deemed “very high risk,” most of them with no approvals on file, indicating that they were installed at least 40 years ago. Another 17 were ranked as “high risk.” The remaining 64 system were identified as “moderate” or “low” risk. Since the same risk analysis has been undertaken in New Hampton and Center Harbor where 86 septic systems have been graded, of which 36 qualify as “very high risk.” The proposed regulations are intended to compensate for shortcomings of state regulations. The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) requires that whenever new construction, measured by additional bedrooms, would increase the flow, a newly designed system with appropriate capacity must be approved. However, DES does not require the new system be installed until the old system fails. Likewise, although DES requires an assessment of developed waterfront property prior to it changing hands, the assessment does not include an evaluation of the existing septic system. The proposed ordinance is crafted to “avoid the wait-for-failure approach.” As drafted the ordinance would apply to all properties within 250 feet of Lake Waukewan and require the installation of a new septic system whenever the conversion or expansion of building adds to the number of bedrooms as well as for any expansion of the living area of those properties without approvals for their septic systems. Likewise, these same properties without approved systems would be required to undergo inspection and evaluation every five years to ensure they are functioning properly. The ordinance wool deb phased in over two years. Randy Eifert, who chairs the WWAC, reminded the board that closer regulation of septic systems has been a priority of the committee since 2005 and that he was pitching the proposal for the fourth time. He recalled that when he last approached the

THIS ADVICE CAN SAVE YOU MONEY! During these trying economic times, an ounce of prevention is still worth a pound of cure. We change the oil to avoid engine problems, and we get vaccines to prevent disease. Preventive dental care is the surest way to reduce the total cost of ownership if you are planning on keeping your teeth. Also keep in mind that when a problem is diagnosed at an early stage before symptoms develop, it can be nipped in the bud at a considerable savings of time and money. A dental exam using sophisticated diagnostic tools (x-rays, intraoral cameras, cavity-detecting sensors, etc) is your best defense against major problems. More and more insurance carriers are contributing benefits towards frequent preventive dental services. Did they suddenly develop an interest in your health? No. Insurance companies have realized that preventive care will reduce the amount that they pay in benefits over the long run – so, it’s good for their bottom line, but it is also good for you. It’s a win-win scenario. Dental problems need treatment – they don’t just “go away by themselves”. Deferred treatment means bigger problems with bigger treatment needs and bigger bills. Delay is costly – so don’t be penny wise and pound foolish. Prevention and early treatment are the keys to good health and cost savings. If you haven’t had a recent oral exam and you want to save yourself both time and money, call to schedule your exam today. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

She says her grandfather also flew planes out of the seaplane base but was more involved with the business aspects. ‘’He was as much of an angel investor as anything else. Bob Fogg had a lot of business partners over the years,’’ she says . Fogg brought aviation to Concord and the Weirs in the early ‘20s and he and his pilots introduced flying to a whole generation that grew up in that time period. The seaplane base operated at the Weirs from 1923 Jane Rice holds a copy of her book ‘’Bob Fogg and New Hampshire’s Golden Age of Aviation’’ which until 1950s and Fogg also was recently published and is now on sale at bookstores throughout the Lakes Region.

Government created jobs Dale Gravelin of Pike Industries explains to Democratic District 7 State Senate candidate Andrew Hosmer of Laconia (center) the details of a road project in Sanborton Friday morning, much of which was made possible through state and federal funding. Hosmer said he was visiting projects like this in the Lakes Region so he could see first-hand how jobs are created through state and federal construction dollars, see what improvements need to be done to local infrastructure, and talk with the people who benefit from them. Hosmer is a Democrat and he faces Republican Josh Youssef of Laconia in the November 6 election. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)
School bus rear-ended at 30 mph in Northfield NORTHFIELD — A Canterbury man rear-ended a school bus with 15 elementary school children on Friday afternoon when the bus stopped for a railroad crossing at Concord Road and East Side Drive. Police said the bus driver safely removed all the children and six or seven of them complained of “very minor bumps and bruises.” All the children were evaluated by emergency responders, placed on a second bus and taken to their residences. The driver of the Toyota Tacoma, Colin Dowling, 25, of 138 Borough Road was not injured nor was the bus driver. Chief Stephen Adams said Concord Road was blocked while firefighters examined each child before putting him or her on a second bus to be taken home. He said he went to the spot where the parents typically wait for their children and assured them their
children were okay; he told them there had been minor accident, and the children would be home a little late. Adams said the bus driver had stopped at the railroad crossing, put on her lights and opened the door as is required of all school bus drivers in the state. “She did everything exactly as she was supposed to do it,” Adams said. He said Dowling “just wasn’t paying attention” and hit the rear of the bus at about 30 mph. Adams said Dowling’s truck was likely totaled and had to be towed. The empty school bus was driven back to First Student Transportation. Adams said state police troopers and highway enforcement were there — the troopers for traffic control and the highway enforcement team to evaluate the bus before it was driven back to First Student. — Gail Ober
from preceding page things kept happening. I was so glad to be be able to write the book while these people like Bob Fogg, Jr. and my uncle Tom Rice (a former Laconia legislator, now 89) were still alive.’’ Rice, a 1974 graduate of Laconia High School who went to college at Nasson College in Springvale, Maine, where she majored in English and History, has worked at the Moultonborough public library for 29 years and has always been an avid reader. ‘’She was a bookworm from the word go,’’ says her mother, Mary, who accompanies her daughter to many of the public events where Jane talks about the book and entertains her audiences with a slide show featuring photos of Fogg and the many airplanes he flew, ranging from a pusher type Curtis MF “Seagull” to Classic Wacos,
Travel Airs, Beech Staggerwings and Sikorsky amphibians. She says that the book has been well received in the historic aviation community and was invited to Moosehead Lake in Maine for an international seaplane fly-in the weekend after Labor Day to sell copies of her book. And Rice says she’s learning something about the book publishing business. ‘’I thought that the hard work was writing the book. Now I’m finding that you have to market it as well, and that can be harder than writing a book. But I’m going to keep busy at it. I don’t want to leave a thousand books in my garage when I die,’’ she says. Rice will be giving a presentation about the book at the Lake Winnipesaukee Historical Society next to Funspot on Wednesday, Sept. 19 at 7 p,m. and at the Laconia Library on November 13.

of homemade apple and pumpkin pie or just have to have the finest in baked beans will find this dinner offers something for almost everyone. For over 40 years now the members of the congregation have been putting this dinner on every year in the early fall, working hard to make the fellowship hall come alive with autumn colors and the smells of slow cooked corn beef fill the air. Over 100 pounds of potatoes and carrots are peeled and chopped and 60 pounds of dry beans are sorted, washed, soaked, and cooked overnight in the bean pits behind the church. This meal is a huge production for the church and has become a favorite of the church supper crowd in the Lakes Region. It takes about 50 hardworking people to put on this meal. The members of the church do everything from baking pies to tending the fires that will cook the beans in the largecast iron kettles. It is a threeday undertaking and the meal is well worth the effort. Tickets are available by calling the church office at 524-3289 but they sell out quickly so call early. There are two serving to choose from, one at 5 p.m. and another at 6:30 p.m. Those who are interested in knowing more about

new angle and solve it immediately. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Thinking is all well and good, but thinking can’t make it so. You won’t be able to force yourself or the entirety of the world to do what you think. But when you start to move, so does everything. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In the area of romance, you’ll get as much attention as you give. The equality is comforting. You can relax into the idea that fair is fair. Enjoy this rare moment. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Humanity has come far from its primitive stage, and yet it’s likely that the day will be shaped by the age-old question of what to eat. What’s simple and true never changes. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The same thing can be said in hundreds of ways, but there are more than a few people who like the way you say it the most. That’s why you’ll have followers and fans today. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When people copy your style, it doesn’t always feel like a compliment, and yet it always is. They wouldn’t bother to emulate you if there wasn’t something irresistibly appealing about what you do. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 18). If people want to know what you’re thinking about (and they often will), they need only look at what you’re doing. You put your mind in motion this year. The next five weeks bring about a healing. November turns strangers into friends. Your work in January will be like a well-choreographed dance. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 1, 30 and 15.
Q
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Loved ones have angered, irritated and frustrated you. You think that’s what pushes you away, and maybe that’s true. But it’s also what draws you close. Revisit the situation with fresh, forgiving eyes. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll become someone’s informal mentor. With every piece of assistance and advice you offer, you’ll grow just as enriched and educated as the one you’re helping. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may secretly feel that certain work is below you, but you do it anyway, mostly because it needs to be done. This ethic will hold you in good stead in an organization and among your loved ones, too. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People will listen carefully to what you say and will take you quite literally. This might not be as nice as it sounds. Be very careful how you word things. Figure out what you want before you talk. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your natural, easy-going pace will give you an increased immunity to stress. You progress without pushing yourself or anyone else. Others learn from your example. Their lives improve, too. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may feel that agreeing with those around you is part of your job: It’s what’s expected, and it will be easier than disagreeing. And yet, you won’t always do so. That’s what authenticity is all about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be offered a challenge, and you’re not one to back down. You might initially be stumped, but not for long. In the evening, you’ll go at the problem from a

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 18, 2012— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC –––––––
Today is Tuesday, Sept. 18, the 262nd day of 2012. There are 104 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 18, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed a commission naming Rabbi Jacob Frankel of Rodeph Shalom Congregation in Philadelphia the first Jewish chaplain of the U.S. Army. On this date: In 1759, the French formally surrendered Quebec to the British. In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol. In 1810, Chile made its initial declaration of independence from Spain with the forming of a national junta. In 1850, Congress passed the Fugitive Slave Act, which created a force of federal commissioners charged with returning escaped slaves to their owners. In 1927, the Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting System (later CBS) made its on-air debut with a basic network of 16 radio stations. In 1931, an explosion in the Chinese city of Mukden damaged a section of Japanese-owned railway track; Japan, blaming Chinese nationalists, invaded Manchuria the next day. In 1947, the National Security Act, which created a National Military Establishment, went into effect. In 1961, United Nations Secretary-General Dag Hammarskjold (dahg HAWM’-ahr-shoold) was killed in a plane crash in northern Rhodesia. In 1970, rock star Jimi Hendrix died in London at age 27. In 1975, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was captured by the FBI in San Francisco, 19 months after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army. In 1981, a museum honoring former President Gerald R. Ford was dedicated in Grand Rapids, Mich. In 1990, the city of Atlanta was named the site of the 1996 Summer Olympics. The organized crime drama “GoodFellas,” directed by Martin Scorsese, had its U.S. premiere in New York. One year ago: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, former head of the International Monetary Fund, broke his silence four months after a New York hotel maid accused him of sexual assault, calling his encounter with the woman a “moral failing” he deeply regretted, but insisting in an interview on French television that no violence was involved. Today’s Birthdays: Singer Jimmie Rodgers is 79. Actor Robert Blake is 79. Actor Eddie Jones is 78. Actor Fred Willard is 73. Singer Frankie Avalon is 72. Rock musician Kerry Livgren is 63.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My brother and I grew up in the shadow of our older sister, “Nina.” Nina had new clothes while we had stained, torn hand-me-downs. If I asked for something, I was called a “spoiled, selfish brat.” If our plans conflicted with Nina’s, we had to cancel ours. Mom always favored her. Nina’s needs always came before ours. My father didn’t notice or didn’t care. I am now an adult, living on my own, and my mother still treats me like this. The thing that kills me is that she will ask me for an extreme favor and become furious if I turn her down. Of course, when I ask her for help, she runs for the hills. My boyfriend and I are talking about marriage and children. I don’t want this cycle repeated. I cannot have my mother treating my children as second-class grandchildren. The things she has said to me over the years still hurt to this day. But I do want a relationship with my parents. Is it possible to have one like they have with Nina? Is it worth it? -Distraught Daughter Dear Distraught: You are not likely to have Nina’s relationship with your parents, but it doesn’t mean yours can’t improve. Changing how you respond when dealing with Mom could change how she behaves. At the very least, it will alter how unhappy the situation makes you. You are smart to recognize that this pattern should not be repeated with your children. Ask your mother to come with you for counseling to work on this. She may be willing for the sake of having a decent relationship with her future grandchildren. If not, please go on your own. Dear Annie: I am engaged to an intelligent, beautiful, loving woman. We both work full time and see eye-to-eye on just about everything. However, we are becoming increasingly frustrated with her four kids when it comes to doing their
laundry, putting dirty dishes in the dishwasher, walking the dog, etc. If a trashcan is overflowing, they simply pile more on top of it instead of taking it outside. These kids are between 13 and 21. We want them to take responsibility for their actions and take pride in their home. We have tried making lists and assigning tasks, punishments and rewards, to no avail. During our most recent conversation with the kids, one said, “It’s too difficult to remember.” Another said, “You can’t make us do it.” Two of these kids are working. Any suggestions? -- Frustrated in the Midwest Dear Frustrated: Some children need to be reminded to help around the house, and the reminder has to stick. Mom should tell them that neither you nor she is a servant and they all need to care for their living space. Any children over 18 should be nicely encouraged to move into their own places, which will highlight their choices. The younger kids should have privileges restricted if they do not follow the house rules. But Mom has to enforce these rules, or nothing will change. Dear Annie: This is in regard to the letter from “Older Sister,” who recently discovered that her brother had sexually molested family members when they were children. Your advice to inform the entire family was on the mark, but they should also contact the police. It is very possible that the brother has continued his sexual assaults, which is reason enough to alert the authorities. But there is also the issue of what it says to the children that their parents remain unable or unwilling to protect them by confronting the criminal whose presence they are expected to endure at a family reunion. The passive acceptance of the sexual assault of a child almost always means that other children will be victimized. -- Dan William Peek, Grandparents and Others on Watch, Inc.

“There are nearly 3,000 people with MS in New Hampshire. When you add in the impact on the children of parents with MS, spouses, and siblings, the broader burden of the disease is carried by some 21,000 individuals in the Granite State. You’re also talking about an unpredictable disease that can cause disability and cost upwards of $70,000 a year to manage. I think that’s important enough for everyone to get involved.”
