Bedbugs said a menace in big apartment buildings

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — It was just about 1 p.m. on a warm day last week and Deputy Fire Chief Shawn Riley was at his desk on the second floor of the Central Fire Station preparing to eat a meatball sub from the deli across the street.

His buzzer rang and he

walked down to greet two women and a small child who were there to see him.

“They gave me a bed bug,” Riley said a short time later during a conversation about what he considers one of the fastest growing nuisances facing Laconia.

Riley, who doubles as the city’s health officer, added the live

creature to his Petri dish collection and spoke at length about flat, brown bugs that once pestered most of inhabited world.

According to research done

by Dr. Gale Ridge of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station in New Haven, bedbugs were first documented in Italy in 77 C.E. and likely spread throughout the world

over trade routes.

Ridge, who spoke at a November 2011 conference in New Hampshire, said they were first documented in the Americas in the late 1500s. At one point in the 1930s and early 1940s, bedbugs infested about one-third of all dwellings in the United States.

During WWII, bedbugs were see BEDBUGS page 10

Investigation finds Holder left out of loop on ‘Fast & Furious’ WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department’s internal watchdog on Wednesday faulted the agency for misguided strategies, errors in judgment and management failures during a bungled gun-trafficking probe in Arizona that disregarded public safety and resulted in hundreds of weapons turning up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico.

A former head of the department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and a deputy assistant attorney general in Justice’s criminal division in Washington left the department upon the report’s release — the first by retirement, the second by resignation.

In the 471-page report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz referred more than a dozen people for possible department disciplinary action for their roles in Operation Fast and Furious and a separate, earlier probe known as Wide Receiver, undertaken

during the George W. Bush administration. A former acting deputy attorney general and the head of the criminal division were criticized for actions and omissions related to operations subsequent to and preceding Fast and Furious.

The report did not criticize Attorney General Eric Holder, but said lower-level officials should have briefed him about the investigation much earlier.

The report found no evidence that Holder was informed about the Fast and Furious operation before Jan. 31, 2011, or that the attorney general was told about the much-disputed gun-walking tactic employed by the ATF. Gun-walking was an experimental tactic, barred under long-standing department policy. ATF agents in Arizona allowed suspected “straw purchasers,” in these cases believed to be working for Mexican drug gangs, to leave Phoenix-area gun stores with weap-

ons in order to track them and bring charges against gun-smuggling kingpins who long had eluded prosecution, but they lost track of most of the guns.

The experimental operations were a response to widespread criticisms of the agency’s anti-smuggling efforts. Because of thin ATF staffing and weak penalties, the traditional strategy of arresting suspected straw buyers as soon as possible had failed to stop the flow of tens of thousands of guns to Mexico — more than 68,000 in the past five years.

The inspector general found fault with the work of the senior ATF leadership, the ATF staff and U.S. attorney’s office in Phoenix and senior officials of Justice’s criminal division in Washington. He also said that poor internal information-gathering and drafting at Justice and ATF caused the department to initially misinform Congress about Fast and Furisee JUSTICE page 9

— in 20 countries. It also immediately shut down its embassy and the French school in Tunisia, the site of deadly protests at the U.S. Embassy last week.

The French Foreign Ministry issued a travel warning urging French citizens in the Muslim world to exercise “the greatest vigilance,” avoiding public gatherings and “sensitive buildings.”

The controversy could prove tricky for France, which has struggled to integrate its Muslim population, Western Europe’s largest. Many Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad should not be depicted at all — even in a flattering way — because it might encourage idolatry.

Violence provoked by the anti-Islam video, which portrays the prophet as a fraud, womanizer and child molester, began with a Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, then quickly spread to Libya, where an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi left the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans dead.

In Washington, White House spokesman Jay Carney said the Obama administration believed the French magazine images “will be deeply offensive to many and have the potential to be inflammatory.”

“We don’t question the right of something like this to be published,” he said, pointing to the U.S. Constisee MUHAMMAD page 13

French satirical weekly revived a formula that it has already used to capture attention: Publishing crude, lewd caricatures of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.

Wednesday’s issue of the provocative satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo, whose offices were firebombed last year, raised concerns that France could face violent protests like the ones targeting the United States over an amateur video produced in California that have left at least 30 people dead.

The drawings, some of which depicted Muhammad naked and in demeaning or pornographic poses, were met with a swift rebuke by the French government, which warned the magazine could be inflaming tensions, even as it reiterated France’s free speech protections.

The principle of freedom of expression “must not be infringed,” Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said, speaking on France Inter radio.

But he added: “Is it pertinent, intelligent, in this context to pour oil on the fire? The answer is no.”

Anger over the film “Innocence of Muslims” has fueled violent protests from Asia to Africa. In the Lebanese port city of Tyre, tens of thousands of people marched in the streets Wednesday, chanting “Oh, America, you are God’s enemy!”

FRANCONIA (AP) — Rescue crews who carried an injured hiker for four miles through torrential rain and high wind in New Hampshire’s White Mountains likely saved the Michigan man’s life, Fish and Game officials said Wednesday.

Edward Bacon, 59, of Northville, Mich., was on the third day of a five-day solo hike around Franconia Notch when he fell Tuesday afternoon and seriously injured his hip. Authorities said Bacon crawled to an area where he was able to get brief cell phone reception and called for help. Though Bacon was well equipped, his tent had blown away. Rain-soaked and pummeled by the wind, he climbed into his sleeping bag while awaiting rescuers, officials said.

The first responder from the Appalachian Mountain Club was forced back by wind, but a second team of two AMC staffers reached Bacon around 6:20 p.m. Fish and Game officers and Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue volunteers arrived soon after, and crews began the long process of carrying Bacon 3.9 miles to the trailhead.

Around 10 p.m., what had been steady rain became a torrential downpour. Rescuers carried Bacon down the Falling Waters Trail, normally recommended only for ascending the mountain because see RESCUE page

Hassan & Lamontagne both stress wanting to be governor for all state residents at St. A’s forum

MANCHESTER (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s videotaped remarks that nearly half of Americans are dependent on government had GOP gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne and Democratic rival Maggie Hassan promising Wednesday to represent everyone if elected.

The two met in their first forum at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College.

“I want to be the governor for all the people,” Lamontagne said in response to a question about Romney’s comment.

“I have a record for reaching across the aisle,” Hassan said when her turn came.

Hassan, who has tried to cast Lamontagne as too conservative for New Hampshire, then questioned how Lamontagne could make his claim when he supports limiting abortion, which she says denies women’s right to make personal health care decisions.

Lamontagne, who opposes abortion, said abortion is legal in the country and he would enforce the law.

Hassan jumped in again to question if he would sign legislation limiting those women’s rights.

Lamontagne repeated that he would obey the law of the land.

Hassan also pointed out Lamontagne had signed a pledge by the conservative Cornerstone Action that promotes abortion limits. The group on Monday came out with a legislative agenda it expects pledge signers to promote. One item on the agenda is passing comprehensive health insurance deregulation, Hassan said.

“That means consumers won’t know what’s covered,” she said.

Lamontagne said he did not know what Hassan was talking about. He said he proposes seeking waivers from the federal government to tailor government-backed health plans to New Hampshire.

During the hourlong forum on business and the economy, the candidates said they present New Hampshire voters with a clear choice.

Lamontagne said he would apply a commonsense, limited government philosophy to governing that would free businesses to create jobs.

Hassan said businesses need government to support education so they have a skilled workforce. She also said recruiters have an easier time getting younger workers to take jobs in New Hampshire because the state respects women’s rights to make their own health decisions and marriage equality for gays.

“They are intertwined,” she said.

Lamontagne said he did not believe social issues are relevant to the economy.

Hassan said she would restore nearly $50 million in annual state aid cuts to the University System of New Hampshire in exchange for a tuition freeze and opening of more slots for resident students. Asked how she would pay for it, Hassan said she would consider legalizing one, high-end gambling casino, hiring more auditors to ensure businesses paid correct taxes and raising the cigarette tax the dime it see FORUM page 7

Kyaker dies on Pemi R.

LINCOLN (AP) — Police say a kayaker has died on the West Pemigewasset River in Lincoln, N.H. Officials say the heavy rain on Tuesday night created dangerous conditions on many of the state’s rivers.

The man in his 20s was kayaking with two others when his kayak overturned south of the Flume Gorge and he became trapped under water.

One of the other kayakers went over to help but there was no sign of the man.

Police told that it appears the force of the river created a vortex that trapped the victim underwater for at least an hour before he resurfaced.

The irreconcilable conflict between East and West “Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, “Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God’s great Judgment Seat.”

Thus did Kipling, the Poet of Empire, caution the British about the Eastern world the Victorians and Edwardians believed to be theirs. And with that world so inflamed against us, perhaps we should inspect more closely our irreconcilable conflict — what Harvard’s Michael Ignatieff calls “the fatal dialectic between Islamic rage and Western free speech.”

Consider first American values, as seen from an ACLU point of view.

Our establishment holds that not only is there to be a wall of separation between church and state, all symbols of religious belief are to be expunged from public institutions and the public square.

And what do devout Muslims believe? That there is no God but Allah, that Muhammad is his Prophet, that sharia shows the way to a moral life in this world and paradise in the next.

Many Muslims put their Islamic faith ahead of their national identity and forbid preachers from other religions from coming into their countries to convert their young.

Apostasy is treason to Allah. Heresy has no rights.

From America’s schools, religion has been relentlessly purged. No prayers, no Bibles, no Christian symbols, no Ten Commandments.

And into these godless madrassas of modernity has come compulsory sex education starting in the early grades, with condoms handed out to the sexually active.

Devout Muslims demand that children be immersed in their Islamic faith in their schools and believe that teachers who condone or encourage sexual activity among their young are and should be treated as perverts.

In Charlotte, the Democratic Party came out for “marriage equality” and subsidized abortions into the ninth month of pregnancy with the woman the sole decider as to whether the unborn child lives or dies.

In many Muslim countries, men caught in homosexual activity risk mutilation and women’s rights do not exist. What do we think is going to happen to those girls’ schools in Afghanistan when we come home and the Taliban return?

When we proclaim that our First Amendment protects Quran-burning and denigrating the Prophet in books, magazines, videos and films, devout Muslims reply unapologetically: Under Quranic law, we kill people like that.

In America, Christians have futilely protested insults to their faith like the “Piss Christ” and

depiction of a Madonna adorned with elephant dung.

Muslim protests appear more effective, as Salman Rushdie, the Danish cartoonist who portrayed Muhammad with a bomb for a turban and Theo van Gogh, ritually slaughtered in Holland, could testify.

We preach pluralism. Some Muslim countries take the same attitude toward religious pluralism as Henry VIII and Torquemada.

In our own country in 1844, the founder of Mitt Romney’s faith discovered that Protestant America was not all that tolerant, when a mob lynched him right there in the land of Lincoln.

Our elite believe in a new trinity of equality, democracy and diversity. Indeed, after the Cold War, we declared the spread of democracy worldwide to be our historic mission and national goal. But, down deep, do we really believe what we say?

When U.S. vital interests clash with democratist ideology, do we not put those interests first? The king of Bahrain has been in power for 10 years.

Have we ever called for free elections there, which would likely produce a Shia government friendly to Iran and far less receptive to remaining as the Persian Gulf base for the Fifth Fleet? Have we ever demanded that the king of Saudi Arabia hold free elections? When one-man, one-vote produced victories for Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, did not George W. Bush, the great Democracy Crusader himself, put it on the shelf for a while?

We proclaim that we cherish the First Amendment. Do we? If so, whose version of that amendment?

How many Americans would willingly die for the constitutional right to produce pornographic films? Or for some nutball’s right to insult the Prophet? Or the right of “artists” to befoul and denigrate Christian images of our own Lord and Savior?

Our Founding Fathers who created this republic did not believe in democracy. When did we come to worship this idol? Wrote T.S. Eliot: “The term ‘democracy,’ as I have said again and again, does not contain enough positive content to stand alone against the forces that you dislike — it can easily be transformed by them. If you will not have God (and He is a jealous God), you should pay your respects to Hitler or Stalin.”

Worldwide, there are a billion and a half Muslims. Their numbers are exploding, while the post-Christian West stares at demographic death by century’s end. While we remain infinitely superior militarily and materially, what will be the ultimate outcome of the clash of civilizations?

Kipling’s prediction: “And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, and the epitaph drear: ‘A Fool lies here who tried to hustle the East.’”

LETTERS If Tea Party members want lower taxes they need to move To the editor, Dear Daily Sun readers: 1. How many of you know why women’s rights, birth control and abortion or same sex marriage are being flaunted and brought to the fore in this particular national election? Do you think it might be to get a certain voting block to the polls?

2. Does anyone realize why the Christian fundamentalists are advising their flock to vote against President Obama?

Do you think they are trying to get a certain group of people to vote just one way without thinking of the consequences of their collective actions?

3. Do you know why the Tea Party was formed? You might say: to pay lower taxes and keep their guns (in some states such as Florida) and use them if they feel threatened). Florida has a Stand Your Ground Law on the books. Look it up, see what it allows.

As a result of letting ordinary citizens carry arms, how many police officers and innocent people have been killed?

Do you remember Columbine or the movie theater that was premiering “Batman”, and other locations of mass killings against the innocent?

4. When is the last time you reviewed the rights and privileges we have, no matter our income or station in life. Most of these rights here in the U.S. are guaranteed by the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Amendments?

5. Are you willing to give up your due process rights? e.g. the right to take individuals or a corporations

or even parts of the governments to court to litigate your issues?

6. Don’t you secretly wish that the draft would be reinstated so there are NO expectations as to who has to give time in the service of their country?

Now this would really level the playing field for all, right?

If the Tea Party members and other conservatives want to pay reduced taxes then they need to move to another country which offers lower taxation. They might pay lower taxes, but it will come at a very dear price.

They will not be guaranteed a fraction of the services that they receive now from city, state and the federal governments. I want to see them give up Social Security, Medicare, Pell Grants, the new Health Care Law, garbage collection, city water and sewer right to their front door, a public school system which by law can turn no one away from an education, unemployment insurance, pensions, just to name a few of the many, many perks... just dig deep into your memory, add your own benefits to this list. We as a nation have become much too complacent concerning those entitlements we now enjoy.

Think long and hard before you write another Letter to the Editor (remember we also have the Freedom of Speech) to complain and whine.

Oh, and you can do that too without being thrown in jail or prison for life.

Remember Nelson Mandela?

Jeanie welcomes a discussion of the fiscal needs of N.H. in an open discussion. She believes in a positive campaign that focuses on the issues.

The unauthorized placement of these signs sends an unwelcome negative message.

The focus of our campaign is to remain positive, civil, and respectful both to those running for office and the voters in District #2. They deserve nothing less.

Fall Cleaning Specials

City’s new trash policy is just back door Pay As You Throw To the editor, I’m alarmed by the municipal trash collection amendment, a/k/a a back door, Pay As You Throw (PAYT) forced recycling, taking effect on October 1.

Currently, single-family and duplex dwellings are eligible for a total of five containers on a weekly basis, excluding recycle bins; multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments on collection routes are eligible for a total of 10 containers, excluding recycle bins.

The City Council minutes of April 23, 2012 read: “First Reading of An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 194 — Solid Waste and Request to Schedule a Public Hearing on May 14th. The City Council then had a public hearing on May 14, 2012 and unanimously passed a second and FINAL Reading of An Ordinance to Amend Chapter 194 – Solid Waste. What is not found in the minutes is “a reduction in the number of containers of trash allowed for curbside collections effective October 1, 2012”. The minutes do not cite any reference to the ordinance as amended.

The following notice was published in The Daily Sun, Sept. 4, 2012: NOTICE 1. Single Family dwellings and duplexes will be reduced from 5 containers to 2 containers on a weekly basis.

2. Multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments will be reduced from 10 containers to 7 containers on a weekly basis.

All trash must be in a container — bagged trash must be tightly sealed and placed in the container, NO loose trash in containers will be collected.

The plain language is: residential dwelling units will have to continue buying plastic garbage bags, and in addition they shall buy containers to put the bag in to. Who benefits financially by the amendment voted unanimously by this City Council to reduce what will be put curbside with excess delivered to transfer station?

Does the Solid Waste Collection Contract of $325,000 plus recycling for $130,000 for Fiscal Year 2012/2013 remain the same?

Single family dwellings cost increase?

Duplex dwellings cost increase?

Multi-family excluding recycle bins dwellings?

Residential — “three (3) or less units (single-family, duplex, triplex”?

(Ord. 194:1) What will the cost be for any household/dwellings that exceed the twp containers? Will the residential property owners have to purchase a $20 annual per vehicle pass, travel to the transfer station, plus pay minimum tonnage? Or will it be simply left on the side of the street for next collection cycle? (Ord. 194:24) Has anyone noticed that the waste collection trucks are being downsized from rear loaders to side-loaders?

A “trash collection” bid lists the amount of containers per dwelling.

Accordingly, the capacity of a trash collection truck and cost of operation must be a consideration as does the number of miles/streets a collection truck can cover before is it has to go to the transfer station is also a consideration.

The contractual conditions for establishing the trash collection were founded on 5 and 10 trash containers (excluding the recycle bins). The city budget for solid waste collection is conditional upon the bid’s award and extensions. The council’s action regarding Ord. 194 by reducing the number of containers from 5 bags, down 60-percent, to 2 containers and 10 bags down by only 30-percent to 7 is a violation of the council’s contract with property taxpayers.

If, after the bid was awarded, and budget adopted, the contractor announced the trash collection will be reduced to 2 trash containers (excluding the recycle bins), would that be a breach of contract? What if the City Council amended the ordinance that said that contractor will have to pick up 60-percent more trash for single family and 30-percent more from multi-family?

Has any property taxpayer received a mailed notice of the amended ordinance that will take effect on October 1? Why not say what they are doing — forcing recycling. Disingenuous or what?

Close your eyes, summon objectivity and visualize a face To the editor, I gave myself this little quiz, with interesting results.

I thought about the importance of clarity in the formulation and articulation of American foreign policy.

Then, I recalled which one of the presidential candidates most often stresses the importance of clarity in the formulation and articulation of American foreign policy.

Next, I considered which of the candidates has most often complained that his opponent’s foreign policy is incoherent, and inarticulately expressed.

I thought about which candidate has spent the most time clarifying things he said, by saying he was misunderstood, taken out of context, or could have expressed himself more clearly.

I tried to remember which of the candidate’s explanations of what he meant to say — after the fact —

interpretation of his own words.

Next, asked myself which candidate, having misspoken, had a tendency to adopt a “that’s my story, I’m sticking to it” approach and tried to refocus public attention away from his misstatement.

Lastly, I tried to remember which candidate’s comments most often prompted members of his own party to admit that he was inarticulate, and could have said what he meant in a better way.

When I’d answered all the questions, I closed my eyes, summoned every ounce of objectivity, concentrated on which candidate’s face I visualized most often and considered this man’s ability to articulate American policy, foreign or domestic.

Then, I asked myself, if someone else took this quiz, and were angry with the result — what would that mean?

LETTERS It’s going to get worse & you have no one else to blame To the editor, The economy is getting better, I can tell by just looking around the town.

Midas has moved to the Concord location. Portland Glass has followed them, also located in Concord, which is good for the economy of Concord, but sucks for the economy of Laconia, especially for the consumer. Even the state has relocated its satellite offices down to Concord forcing everyone to go to Concord to renew our drivers licenses or to get some sort of ID to show we are eligible to vote. The bad part of that, going to the motor vehicle office, is that you must get there when the office opens or standing lines going out the door with no place to sit as though you were waiting for tickets on opening day for the Red Sox. It is about to get a lot worse and you have no one to blame but yourselves.

I have never seen so many sheep in my life. What happened? I must have

been asleep when the vast majority gave the government the right to run their lives. From cradle to grave it seems one cannot make their own decisions. I am not alone in my way of thinking. It is nice to meet some people wanting to make things better for all of us, but until the sheep yell uncle and fall in line with the people who do not want the dictatorship way of government, this is all you have.

When ambassadors are killed at their foreign posts, it is sad, but it is also sad when our young men and women are killed in a war that IS NOT OUR WAR, and is such common a thing now that it barely makes the news. It is time for a change. It will not happen this year though (a change) because the sheep will continue voting as they always have, for the biggest looser. God save us all.

Fortunately, my folks have had the benefit of the support of the Gilmanton Fire and Police Departments.

Over the past few years, I believe that every single paid employee, as well as all the volunteers of the Gilmanton Fire Department has had to respond at some point to aid my parents. No matter what time of the day or how busy these folks were, my mother and father were always treated with the utmost respect, professionalism, and kindness. Let me say again, we are very grateful.

The Gilmanton Police Department also provided aid and support in keeping my parents safe at home until other arrangements were made.

Again, every single member of the department has had to help them out at some point, and often, these calls were not only time consuming, but also must have required a great deal of patience on the part of the officer on duty! My family is particularly grateful to Officer Stacie Fiske for her help, support, and guidance during this difficult time. Officer Fiske has repeatedly demonstrated her skills in problem solving and defusing unsafe situations when my mother was struggling at home and declining due to dementia. I believe Officer Fiske not only has professionalism and integrity, but has also clearly shown a commitment to community policing and we hope that she will continue in her role here for years to come. Once again, we are very grateful.

Please communicate our thanks to the members of the Police and Fire Departments for all that they have done and continue to do to keep us all safe.

June Garen Gilmanton

We usually only hear from officials at election time – but not Jeanie To the editor, I support Jeanie Forrester.

Why! Jeanie Forrester is an advocate for all of her communities and certainly for the Town of Dorchester.

Jeanie established and maintains an unprecedented senatorial-direct and very responsive line of communication with our town government and her constituents. This direct communication not only allows our senator to assist Dorchester with any issues but to receive our feedback which she has requested on legislation that may affect Dorchester.

Notably, shortly after her election to her first term , Jeanie did not hesitate to step up to protect and support legislation to collar the adequacy education formula passed by the prior Democratic House and Senate that would have financially crippled Dorchester .

After dodging a financial bullet, the Dorchester Selectboard. with the assistance of Jeanie Forrester, set

ment study. Our senator connected and brought to the table, not only her personal career experience, but the necessary state agencies to assist Dorchester. This process is ongoing and measures have been implemented as a result of these connections.

Jeanie’s interaction with the Town of Dorchester has ranged from business matters to the annual lighting of the Dorchester Christmas tree, the Dorchester Grange Going-Places Bike-a-thon and on and on. It is obvious Jeanie Forrester is very driven and responsive to all her communities’ needs.

I am a resident of a very small New Hampshire town which does not carry the number of votes of most towns.

We usually only hear or see our state elected officials around election time — but, not Jeanie.

I am sincerely grateful to Jeanie Forrester for not forgetting us, but representing us.

Lakes Region Community Services happy in new Federal Building home

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — It was a long time coming, and it took a lot of work to get there, but Lakes Region Community Services Executive Director Chris Santaniello was pleased yesterday to announce the opening of the non-profit organization’s new facility on North Main Street, in the former Federal Building.

“I’m really happy to be here,” Santaniello said, adding, “It’s taken us a really long time to be here.”

Lakes Region Community Services, established in 1975, was originally organized to serve the needs of local residents with developmental disabilities or acquired brain disorders. While that’s still the organization’s primary focus, it has since expanded its offerings to include a family resource center, elder services and foster care.

Prior to moving into the Federal Building, the organization’s administrative offices were in a building on Communications Drive, on land that formerly housed the Laconia State School. While the organization would have been happy to stay there, they were told by the state, which owns the property, that they needed to vacate. In 2009, Community Services won a competitive process to receive, at no cost, the Federal Building real estate, which had once housed federal offices but had since become surplus property. Located in downtown Laconia, just north of the Public Library, it looked like a great deal at first, but complications soon appeared.

Community Services had initially planned to only upgrade to a more efficient heating system. However, much greater renovations would be necessary.

Because the building had housed federal agencies for so long, the structure had been exempt from accessibility requirements and other building concerns of the modern era. All told, it would require nearly $1-million in renovations to make the large building suitable for an agency such as Lakes Region Community Services. To raise the funds, the organization is selling tax credits to local businesses, and still has about $400,000 remaining to sell.

Now completely renovated and up to modern codes, the building will house about 60 Community Services employees, mostly administrative, day and residential support staff and the Family Resource Center. The organization will occupy almost all of the 20,000-square foot-building, while the Boys & Girls Club of the Lakes Region has moved into a small amount of the space.

As big as the building is, the organization is even larger. The fifth largest year-round employer in the region, Lakes Region Community Services has 350 employees and contracts with another 150 workers.

That labor force serves more than 1,200 individuals and families in Belknap and southern Grafton counties. The organization has a 2012 operating budget of $22,082,000, which is funded primarily by Medicaid.

FORUM from page 3 was cut by the current Republican Legislature.

Lamontagne touted his economic plan that includes reducing the tax on business profits from 8.5 percent to 8 percent over two years. He said it would be better to help individual students with tuition than to pump money into the university system bureaucracy. He claimed he could modernize state government’s technology and save $100 million to $300 million a year in bureaucratic costs.

In one light moment, the two business lawyers were asked what business they would open if they had not become lawyers. Lamontagne said he would be a contractor; Hassan, anything to do with dogs or animals.

The two are vying to fill the seat opened up by Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s retirement.

Executive Councilor Ray Burton was one of many dignitaries present to celebrate the opening of the new location of Lakes Region Community Services, 719 North Main Street in Laconia. Burton is shown here with Chris Santaniello, executive director of the organization.

Laura Michaelis has been a client of the organization since she moved to the area in 1998. Although she has Down’s Syndrome, Michaelis is not only able to live independently, albeit with some support, she has held a part-time job with New Beginnings for 11 years. She also volunteers regularly with the Franklin Food Pantry and the Gilford Public Library.

Community Services employees help Michaelis get to and from those duties, as well as to her medical appointments and Weight Watchers meetings. She

also enjoys the regular gatherings of the Down Syndrome Team, a social group of local residents which was made possible through the organization.

Michaelis’s sister, Susan Michaelis-Gunther, said the organization has kept her outgoing sibling busy, active and healthy. “The agency does a lot for Laura,” Michaelis-Gunther said. “They’re more than willing to help. That’s huge for families.”

“They make me feel that I’m wanted,” added Michaelis.

Business community told it must look ahead, not back, for bright economic future

BY MIKE MORTENSEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — When times are tough the biggest mistake that individuals or businesses can make is to try and recapture what they see as security and success of the past.

“There’s no such thing as the ‘good, old days,’ just the old days,” said Eric Garland, addressing the group of area business and community leaders Wednesday morning at The Margate Resort.

Garland, a writer and consultant who monitors economic and social trends, told the audience he believes the energy for future economic opportunities will be people at the local level making business decisions that will spur expansion and development at the local level. That, he said, will require imagination, trust in the future, and the courage to blaze new paths.

Garland, a Vermont native who spent part of his childhood in Claremont and who now calls Saint Louis home, was the keynote speaker at the Lakes Region Business Resource Fair organized by the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce and the Belknap County Economic Development Council. The program also featured two panels of local entrepreneurs who shared their experiences.

“History is very instructive, but we tend to look at toorecent history,” Garland said in and interview after his talk.

Speaking to approximately 100 people in the audience, Garland said, “The fact that there are a lot of people competing with the U.S. is not un-normal.” But because of the devastation of two world wars that left much of Europe in economic shambles for much of the first half of the twentieth century, many Americans today tend to think the U.S. was always a manufacturing and economic powerhouse. Globalization is nothing new, he said.

For too long, Garland said, economic growth in the U.S. was built on development of suburbs, an almost-total reliance on automobiles for transportation, and the proliferation of large retail complexes. America’s economic advance began to diminish in 2000, he said, but that did not become readily apparent until a few years later because the economic growth that occurred as the country entered a new millennium was built on mounting debt that increasingly paid for housing, consumer goods and higher education, Garland noted.

Garland believes that smaller businesses will be the ones to watch in the years to come. As a business model “the modern corporation is not long for this world,” he said. “That style of business is not efficient, reluctant to listen to new ideas, and getting mean. ... You can’t do more with less.”

Garland said educational opportunity is the key to future economic growth and that educational institu-

tions must to a better job in communicating with businesses to ensure schools are educating young people with the skills businesses need.

Quality infrastructure, particularly rail and highways that provide easy access to major cities, will be critical for business activity, including manufacturing, to succeed in the future, he said. That is true of the Lakes Region and elsewhere.

Also, Garland said that leaders in the private and the public sectors alike must realize that going forward, economic solutions will need to be more tailored to specific places and conditions. “It’s no longer going to be one size fits all,” he said. “People at the local level need to realize that this place is special and will require special solutions. No one is going to rescue you.”

“I think it gave people (who attended) some big-picture trends,” BCEDC Executive Director Carmen Lorentz, said of Garland’s talk.

She also said that the panel discussions which followed gave the audience a good opportunity to learn about the young entrepreneurs in the Lakes Region area and

N.H. GOP leaders say Youssef now of right path

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The state’s Republican leadership said yesterday that it is glad Senate District 7 candidate Joshua Youssef addressed controversy surrounding his primary campaign and his finances on his Website Monday.

GOP party leader Wayne MacDonald, Senate President Peter Bragdon and Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley had all expressed concern last week regarding Youssef’s role in a last-minute mailer embossed with a “sticky note” from someone named “Ken” to many Franklin voters that was interpreted as an endorsement of his candidacy by Mayor Ken Merrifield, who was solidly behind his primary opponent Bill Grimm.

They also wanted answers to an official complaint made by attorney Ed Mosca regarding a fake Website that was created in his name that endorsed Youssef. Mosca, a Manchester lawyer, represents Youssef’s ex-wife in an ugly child-support case that has called into question Youssef’s private and business financial affairs.

“We are happy he has addressed this matter of concern and has taken the additional step of inviting the voters to contact him if they have any questions,” said Megan Stone, the Republican Party spokeswoman.

Youssef never denied doing any of the above things but said in his response Monday the fake Mosca Website included a disclaimer that it was not affiliated with Attorney Ed Mosca.

He also said he had many volunteers stuffing envelopes in his campaign office and all of them included personalized yellow “sticky notes.” In an e-mail sent to the Sun yesterday, Youssef said many JUSTICE from page 2 ous, beginning with a Feb. 4, 2011, letter.

“The inspector general’s report confirms findings

by Congress’ investigation of a near total disregard for public safety in Operation Fast and Furious,” said Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, which has been investigating Operation Fast and Furious since early 2011. Horowitz is to testify before Issa’s panel Thursday.

During the investigation President Barack Obama ordered Holder to withhold from the committee, under executive privilege, some documents describing how the department responded to the panel. The Republi-

people signed the notes, not just one of his volunteers who happened to be named Ken. In addition, Youssef also said yesterday that when he was ordered by the court in May of 2012 to increase his child-support payments he did, from “$700 per month to $1270 per month.”

“I did not challenge that court order and accepted that amount of child support, though it represents nearly double the previous amount. Any ongoing litigation regarding child support is reflective of my ex-wife’s efforts to further increase even that amount,” he said in the same e-mail, which was also posted on his Website.

He also said he has no outstanding issues with the IRS and has never failed to pay his child support.

The Sun has no independent means of proving or disproving either of Youssef’s statements regarding his standing with the IRS or his child support payments. His financial records regarding his child-support case now pending in the 4th Circuit court, Laconia Division are sealed although reporter Annemarie Timmons of the Concord Monitor has petitioned the court to unseal them.

Youssef has argued against unsealing them and, as of yesterday morning, Judge James Carroll has yet to make public his ruling.

In a telephone interview yesterday, Bradley said Youssef’s Website post is “encouraging” and he thinks Youssef is making an effort to be more transparent about his campaign.

“My main concern is that the voters of District 7 feel comfortable (with Youssef) on November 6,” said Bradley. “We want a conservative from that district.”

He said he didn’t want to comment specifically on any of the allegations made against Youssef.

can-controlled House voted to hold Holder in contempt and has authorized a civil lawsuit to make the administration turn over the documents. Horowitz said he was not denied access to any of the documents.

Two of the 2,000 weapons thought to have been acquired by illicit buyers in the Fast and Furious investigation were recovered at the scene of a shootout that claimed the life of U.S. border agent Brian Terry.

About 1,400 of the total have yet to be recovered.

Holder noted in a statement that the report confirmed his assertions that the flawed strategies were driven by field agents without his knowledge or approval and that department did not set out to misinform Congress.

Democratic & Republican candidates find no common ground at Gilford/Meredith forum

By Michael Kitch MEREDITH — While the four Republicans and four Democrats vying for the four seats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives in the newly drawn electoral district composed of Meredith and Gilford would likely agree that each town should be a separate district with two seats, they agreed on nothing else at a forum before some two dozen voters at the Wicwas Lake Grange last night.

The Republican ticket includes incumbents Bob Greemore and Colette Worsman, both of Meredith, Herb Vadney, also from Meredith, and Kevin Leandro of Gilford. The Democratic slate consists of former representatives Bill Johnson of Gilford and Kate Miller of Meredith and newcomers Lisa DiMartino of Gilford and Sandy Mucci of Meredith.

Moderator Bea Lewis, a reporter from The (Laconia) Citizen, posed six questions, submitted in advance by voters, by voters to all eight candidates.

Almost without exception, the four Republicans and four Democrats offered contradictory responses to each question.

The lone exception arose when the candidates were asked if they favored mandatory kindergarten. The Democrats all replied “yes”, with Mucci remarking “I can’t believe it’s even a question,” while Greemore, alone among the Republicans, agreed with qualification.

Worsman acknowledged the benefits of kindergarten, but said “it falls apart when government becomes involved.” Stressing the unique talents and needs of different children, she declared mandatory kindergarten “is not in the best interest of families.” Leandro, whose wife is a former elementary school teacher, said kindergarten should be “available but not mandatory” and was echoed by Vadney, who conceded that “the decay of the family makes it necessary.”

Not surpassingly the candidates divided sharply and evenly over the so-called right-to-work without being represented by a union. The Republicans insisted that enactment of a right-to-work law would attract employers to the state while union wage scales would prompt them to leave. For the Democrats, Miller noted that the issue was of no consequence in New Hampshire since only 10-percent of private sector employees belonged to a union.

Republicans supported legislation enacted this year that offers tax credits to firms contributing to a scholarship fund which subsidizes parents choosing to enroll their children in private or parochial schools. Explaining that the program provides parents with choice and introduces competition to education, Worsman said “this is not about those who

have money. It’s about those who don’t have money.”

The Democrats echoed Miller, who warned that the public schools would lose $4,000 for every student leaving the system, while the $2,500 scholarships would not enable families of modest means to pay the tuition at private schools.

The Republican all endorsed and the Democrats all favored repealing the law requiring voters to present photo identification. Johnson called the law “a solution in search of a problem,” noting that absentee ballots represented the major source of voting fraud. Vadney said that requiring a photo ID is “a small step in the right direction,” but, taking Johnson’s point about absentee ballots, said that problem should also be addressed.

On a question about the state budget, the Republicans, particularly the incumbents Worsman and Greemore, defended the decision of the Legislature to reduce expenditures as well as taxes and fees. “The revenues were not there,” Worsman said. “It was heartbreaking.”

Likening the Legislature faced with with a $900-million deficit and stagnant revenues to a hard-pressed family, she said “when you go to the grocery store, you don’t buy steak. You buy bread, peanut butter and jelly.

And that’s what we did.”

Johnson and Miller both dismissed talk of a $900-million deficit as “myth.” Johnson explained that federal funding through the so-called “stimulus program” was spent as intended, to create and sustain employment. Referring to the $50-million cut from the university system budget, Mucci said “if you’re not willing to invest, you’re not going get a return.” Three times DiMartno said that the reducing the cigarette tax cost $20-million in revenue and asked “do you know what that could do for programs for the developmentally disabled, the mentally ill and the elderly.

All four Republicans expressed support for he constitutional amendment that would forbid the introduction of a personal income or general sales tax, which will appear on the ballot in November.

Remarking that economics was among his hobbies, Vadney said that he learned “if you want less of something, tax it and if you want less income, tax it.”

The Democrats were all against the amendment, but Mucci, Miller and DiMartino all said that while they opposed amending the constitution, they did not support levying a broad-based tax. Johnson proclaimed that he has long favored an income tax and warned if voters ratify the amendment, there will be “higher business taxes and higher property taxes.”

Independent candidate John O’Brien of Gilford did not participate in the forum.

BEDBUGS from page one one of the top morale issues in the United States military, congressional hearings were held, and barracks were disinfected by using hydrogen cyanide, said Ridge.

Post WWII, DDT or dichloro-diphenyl trichloroetane was invented and bedbugs were nearly eradicated throughout the world.

Ridge credits trade, travel, pesticide changes, pesticide resistance, ignorance and stigma as the top contributors to the resurgence of bedbugs in the world and dates the resurgence from 1990s.

For Riley and Laconia, the bedbug issue came to the fore when he was called to a local shelter for what was reported to him as a bedbug problem see next page

Commission names Shackett acting head of nursing home

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners have named County Administrator Debra Shackett as the acting administrator of the Belknap County Nursing Home.

She will temporarily be in charge until the commissioners decide what steps to take to replace Courtney Marshall, director of the nursing home since 2007, who died Sunday night at his home in Grantham after suffering an apparent heart attack. ‘’We’ll have time to decide what to do. It’s kind of a gut punch to lose Courtney. We need time to step back,’’ said Ed Philpot, commission chairman.

Commissioner Stephen Nedeau said that he thought that having Shackett take over temporarily was a good from preceding page about two or three years ago.

After some investigation with the management and repeated attempts to eliminate the bedbugs, they noticed an overstuffed chair in one of the common area of the shelter and discovered it was infested with the insects.

A friend of one of the employees said her boyfriend would come with a truck and take the chair to the dump so Riley and the staff lugged the chair outside and left it at the curb.

“Before the guy with the truck came, someone had taken it,” he said. “It went somewhere else and somewhere else and here we are today.”

Riley said bedbugs in city apartment buildings travel from unit to unit and he has had reports of bedbugs in nearly all of the city’s larger buildings.

Contrary to popular belief, Riley said bedbugs don’t live in mattresses but live in nooks and crannies in wooden furniture and quiet dark places in homes. They feed only on blood and will climb on to mattresses to feed, generally at night.

“They hide everywhere, in furniture, in books in any small tight area,” he said.

In Riley’s experience, most of the city’s landlords are taking a proactive approach to bedbugs and many have spent thousands using professional exterminators to eliminate them from their properties.

He said bedbugs can get into the luggage of travelers and one of his co-workers got bedbugs in his home after traveling with his family.

Riley has testified in one civil suit and, responding to a Right-To-Know request for public documents, gave the names of the litigants to The Sun. According to documents obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Alyssa Ryan moved into an apartment building at 12 Pleasant Street in October 0f 2011. The building is owned by Landmark Properties, which is owned by Dwight Barton.

Ryan said she noticed the infestation in late December into early January and filed an official complaint with the city on January 4, 2012.

Riley’s notes, obtained through the court files, indicated this was the third complaint involving four apartment he had received for 12 Pleasant St. including from one woman who was living in her truck in December because she had had no relief

idea. “It’s important that people at the nursing home know that someone is in charge,’’ he said.

Shackett said that county home administrators from all across the state have called to offer their help and support and that she was grateful for that.

Commissioner John Thomas praised the work Marshall had done since he took over five years ago and said that the nursing home is now held in high regard statewide.

Graveside services for Marshall will be held at 1 p.m. today in Grantham.

Shackett said a memorial service is being organized which will be held within a few days at the Belknap County Home for residents and staff who want to memorialize Marshall.

from the landlord who she said was using over-the counter products in an unsuccessful attempt to rid her apartment of the infestation.

In Ryan’s case, she provided Riley, and later the district court, with photographs of her bite marks and documentation from a medical provider about the bed bug bites.

After the third complaint, Riley prepared a citation and contacted the city attorney for approval before serving it. The attorney recommended meeting with the landlord first and on February 1, 2012 Barton met with Riley.

Riley said the two inspected the apartments but didn’t notice any signs of infestation. Riley said he told Barton that visual inspection wasn’t effective.

Barton agreed to hire a professional inspector with a K-9 and agreed to abide by his recommendations.

Barton was not cited.

Ryan left the building and abandoned her property. She filed a small claims suit against Barton for her expenses because she claimed Barton knew of the bedbug infestation and didn’t tell her before she moved.

On April 2, Judge Jim Carroll ruled for Ryan and ordered Barton to pay her $3,091.72 to cover the costs of a new couch, mattress, a platform bed frame and text books.

Court documents show evidence of Barton’s expenses and indicate he complied with the agreement he and Riley reached but Carroll said Ryan proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Barton knew about the infestation in his building before she moved in and was obligated to tell her.

Riley said last week he hasn’t had any more official complaints from 12 Pleasant Street. see next page

from preceding page There are, some things people can do to prevent bedbug infestation said Riley who described bedbugs as rather inept creatures that cannot jump, fly or climb over smooth surfaces.

He recommended landlords and homeowners use professional exterminators with K-9s specially trained to sniff out bedbugs. He said none of the chemicals available over-the-counter will kill bedbugs and they will only chase them to the next apartment.

Riley also recommended avoiding used furniture, especially couches and mattresses and said to never take furniture from the side of the road into a home.

He also recommended keeping a clean home or apartment because clutter, especially on the floor, is a place where bedbugs can hide.

Riley also said bedbugs have never been known to transmit any disease and are considered a nuisance and not a public health issue.

He said Ridge’s research shows bedbugs show some immunity to some of the world’s deadliest diseases including HIV, leprosy, yellow fever, plague and hepatitis.

“Who knows, this ugly, little brown bug may hold the clue to solving some of the world’s most dreaded diseases,” Riley said.

As for the two women who brought Riley his most recent bedbug specimen, he said they didn’t want their names or addresses revealed for fear of retaliation from the landlord.

He said he has no knowledge of any landlord retaliating against a tenant who officially complains about bedbug infestation.

TRASH from page one multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments, which have been allowed up to 10 containers, will be limited to seven containers a week.

Ann Saltmarsh, who manages the solid waste operation for the Department of Public Works (DPW), urged residents and business owners who

are concerned by the limits but do not recycle their trash to begin recycling.

She said that by recycling households can cut the amount of trash taken to the curb at least by half.

Man charged with receiving stolen property & assaulting girlfriend LACONIA — A Main Street man was ordered held on $2,000 cash bail yesterday after being arrested twice in early Tuesday morning — once on a warrant for receiving stolen property and three hours later for assaulting his girlfriend.

Police affidavits said two Laconia offices responded to 613 Main St. Apt. 7 at 2:35 a.m. Tuesday for a call for a domestic disturbance. When they arrived the victim refused to make any statements, but police arrested Randy Johnson, 27, on the outstanding warrants.

He was taken to the Laconia Police station and released on personal recognizance bail about two hours later.

At 4:58 a.m. the victim walked into the Laconia Police Department and said she and Johnson had been fighting.

She told them they argued and Johnson kicked the bedroom and bathroom doors. She said the two

left the building separately but returned together.

She said the argument continued and allegedly Johnson repeatedly grabbed her arms and spit in her face. She said at one point he held her down on the bed to prevent her from leaving. She said she got away and fled the building but Johnson caught up to her, dragged her back by her sweater, and refused to let her leave.

After he left police custody, she said Johnson returned to the apartment, held her down on the bed again and again spit in her face. She told police he cut himself and then left the room.

The victim left on foot and walked to the police station to tell them the whole story.

Police returned to 613 Main St. and arrested Johnson again. He is charged with felony criminal restraint, breach of bail, and three misdemeanor counts of simple assault.

MUHUMMAD from page 2 tution’s protections of free expression. “We just question the judgment behind the decision to publish it.”

In a statement, Arab League chief Nabil Elarabi called the cartoons “provocative and disgraceful” and said their publication added complexity to an already inflamed situation. He said the drawings arose from ignorance of “true Islam and its holy prophet.”

A lawsuit was filed against Charlie Hebdo hours

after the issue hit newsstands, the Paris prosecutor’s office said, though it would not say who filed it.

The magazine also said its website had been hacked.

Riot police took up positions outside the magazine’s offices, which were firebombed last year after it released an edition that mocked radical Islam.

Chief editor Stephane Charbonnier, who publishes under the pen name “Charb” and has been under police protection for a year, defended the cartoons.

“Muhammad isn’t sacred to me,” he told The Associated Press. “I don’t blame Muslims for not laughing at our drawings. I live under French law. I don’t live under Quranic law.”

RESCUE from page 2 ness. Mountain Rescue Service volunteers used ropes to help with several difficult brook crossings, and rescuers finally reached the trailhead at 3:20 a.m.

“I want to commend the Herculean effort of all the participating search teams working through the night in very difficult conditions and rugged terrain to carry this man to safety. Most likely, they saved his life,” said Fish and Game Lt. James Kneeland, who noted that conditions are changing fast in the mountains this time of year.

On the morning of July 13, an employee of the cemetery discovered that some 20 tombstones had been knocked over, some of which were broken.

John Perley, president of the Jagger Richer Union Cemetery Association, (Laconia Police photo) said that the vandalism took place in one of the oldest sections of the cemetery, where some of the markers dated to the late 1800s.

He said that earlier in the year about 50 brass nozzles were taken from the spigots used to water the lawn and flowers placed on graves.

Police believe that Richer did not act alone and urge anyone with information that could assist in identifying other suspects to contact the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crimeline at 524-1717.

Belknap County Sportsman’s Club hosting Bicentennial Chicken Dinner GILFORD — The Belknap County Sportsman’s Club will be hosting a Bicentennial Chicken Dinner tonight at 6 p.m. at its clubhouse on Lily Pond Road.

Special guest speaker will be Steven White, chairman of Wildlife Heritage Foundation of NH. The cost is $10 per person with proceeds benefiting the programming for Lakes Region Youth.

When the Bicentennial Committee first began researching some of the past town celebrations, it was brought to attention that on the weekend of

August 27-29, during the 1976 Country’s Bicentennial Celebration, The Sportsman’s Club hosted a chicken barbecue. The members of the Bicentennial Committee approached Brian Denutte and Scott Mooney from the club and asked if perhaps they would hold another barbecue to help Gilford celebrate the town’s Bicentennial. The Sportsman’s Club graciously agreed to be a part of the celebration.

The menu will consist of corn-onthe-cob, potato salad, soda or water, chicken and dessert.

LACONIA — A ceremony will be held Tuesday, September 25 at 11 a.m. at the N.H. Homicide Memorial Garden at Stewart Park in downtown Laconia.

Politics in the Lake City exhibit at Laconia Library LACONIA — An opening reception for Laconia Historical and Museum Society’s latest exhibit, Politics in the Lake City, will be held at 7 p.m. on Monday, September 24 at the Laconia Public Library.

Separating itself from neighboring Meredith, Laconia became a new New Hampshire town on July 14, 1855. From that date on, Laconia townspeople moved forward, calling its first town meeting and establishing a well-run, independent town.

Laconia thrived, and soon talks of establishing a city

began amongst the most politically active residents.

Politics in the Lake City explains how Laconia established its first city government and explores other political affairs that have shaped the Lake City. The exhibit also recalls historical politician visits to the city as well as honors some politically successful Laconia natives. This exhibition is on view now through the end of 2012, and may be visited during normal Laconia Public Library hours.

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may be skeptical about people’s ability to make good on their end of a deal.

Tangible material gains are en route; it’s true. That’s just another way of saying, “The check is in the mail.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s a tremendous difference between how you perform when you’re tired and how you perform when you’re rested. Try it both ways, and you’ll be reminded that relaxation is a vital element to being your best.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

There are conflicting messages in the stars. Some indicate the path of least resistance, while others insist that a problem-free day means you’re on the wrong path.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sense of humor is enchanting to anyone who wants to make you laugh. But to those who aren’t expecting laughter, your sense of humor may be a startling surprise.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are no absolutes. Sometimes giving up is the best choice, and other times there’s honor in staying the course.

Knowing this helps you have compassion instead of judgment for the choices of another.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 20).

An element of glamour makes the next three weeks most enjoyable. October’s financial boost is best saved. A challenging partnership invigorates the start of 2013, and you’ll be richer for the struggle. You’ll create something better together than either of you could do alone. Sensational news comes in March. Taurus and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 24, 39 and 18.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even though you hope for the fortunes to favor you, you realize that the most worthwhile things in your life will not happen by chance. You must decide what to do and take a step.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It won’t go as you imagined. This might be good news, as your imagination has a way of filling out a fearful picture sometimes. Anyway, it sharpens your skills to deal with unexpected realities.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Enjoy the privileges given you, but know that they come with a burden. You have a responsibility to aid the deprived and be an advocate for those who cannot help themselves.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Because there are many factors beyond your control to be considered for any endeavor to work, the most determined efforts will fail. However, intentional efforts made with an open mind will be a success.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t be deceived into thinking everyone else in the room knows one another, and that no one else is feeling uncomfortable or scared. You’re not the only one acting.

Try to make someone else feel at ease, and you’ll relax, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will make choices that, strictly speaking, aren’t logical. You may be able to rationalize the actions after the fact, but that’s beside the point. There’s an instinctual reason for why you act.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If it’s love you seek, it’s love you find. The same goes for friendship and romance. Love has many forms, after all, so it’s important to be specific about the version that would best suit your life now.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 20, 2012— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 20, the 264th day of 2012. There are 102 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 20, 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was blocked from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Democratic Gov. Ross R. Barnett. (Meredith was later admitted.)

On this date: In 1519, Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan and his crew set out from Spain on five ships to find a western passage to the Spice Islands. (Magellan was killed enroute, but one of his ships eventually circled the world.)

In 1870, Italian troops took control of the Papal States, leading to the unification of Italy.

In 1873, panic swept the floor of the New York Stock Exchange in the wake of railroad bond defaults and bank failures.

In 1884, the National Equal Rights Party was formed during a convention of suffragists in San Francisco; the convention nominated Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood for president.

In 1911, the British liner RMS Olympic collided with the Royal Navy cruiser HMS Hawke off the Isle of Wight; although seriously damaged, the Olympic was able to return to Southampton under its own power.

In 1958, Martin Luther King Jr. was seriously wounded during a book signing at a New York City department store when Izola Curry stabbed him in the chest. (Curry was later found mentally incompetent.)

In 1967, the Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 was christened by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in Clydebank, Scotland.

In 1973, in their so-called “battle of the sexes,” tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome.

In 1979, Jean-Bedel Bokassa (boh-KAH’-sah), self-styled head of the Central African Empire, was overthrown in a French-supported coup while on a visit to Libya.

In 1980, Spectacular Bid, ridden by Bill Shoemaker, ran as the only entry in the Woodward Stakes at Belmont Park in New York after three potential challengers dropped out in horse racing’s first walkover since 1949.

In 1996, President Bill Clinton announced that he was signing the Defense of Marriage Act, a bill outlawing same-sex marriages, but said it should not be used as an excuse for discrimination, violence or intimidation against gays and lesbians.

One year ago: Repeal of the U.S. military’s 18-year-old “don’t ask, don’t tell” compromise took effect, allowing gay and lesbian service members to serve openly.

Today’s Birthdays: Singer Gogi Grant is 88.

Actress-comedian Anne Meara is 83. Actress Sophia Loren is 78. Rock musician Chuck Panozzo is 65. Acttor Tony Denison is 63. Hockey Hall of Famer Guy LaFleur is 61. Actress Debbi Morgan is 61. Actress Betsy Brantley is 57. Actor Gary Cole is 56. Rock musician Randy Bradbury is 48. Actress Kristen Johnston is 45. Rock singers Gunnar Nelson and Matthew Nelson are 45.

Rock musician Ben Shepherd is 44. Actressmodel Moon Bloodgood is 37. Actor Jon Bernthal is 36. Rock musician Rick Woolstenhulme is 33.

Actress Crystle Stewart is 31. Rapper Yung Joc is 30. Actor Aldis Hodge is 26.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 20, 2012— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our son has been dating “Nicole” for several years. She has two teenage daughters from a previous marriage. Although they live several hours from us, my husband and I have done everything to make “Nicole” feel welcome.

Last Christmas, she and her daughters opened their gifts, tossed them aside and went to watch TV. In May, I sent her a Mother’s Day card wishing her a nice day with her kids. She responded with an e-mail saying that since her mother passed away, she no longer celebrates Mother’s Day. A month later, she was in an accident and spent a few days in the hospital.

We sent flowers and wishes for a speedy recovery. Our son said the flowers were not her favorite so she threw them out.

Two months ago, my son proposed to Nicole. We sent a nice engagement gift with a note saying we would be happy to help with the wedding preparations. After two weeks, I asked my son whether the gift had arrived. He said, “Yes. It’s sitting on the table. She hasn’t got around to opening it.” A day later she sent an e-mail that said, “I will be making my own decisions about the wedding.” No mention of the gift.

Last week, the two lovebirds came to a family event at our home. I mentioned to Nicole that I have an antique bridal veil that is a family heirloom, and I would be honored to let her borrow it if she wished. She said it was “too old-fashioned.”

Our son shrugs off Nicole’s behavior. I understand that marrying her is his choice and not ours. Are we approaching this wrong? -- Perplexed Parents Dear Perplexed: No, you have been very accommodating.

Nicole simply seems rude and unkind, and the relationship will not get better unless your son demands it. Please continue to be welcoming, but back off a bit so she doesn’t feel smothered. Don’t make suggestions or offer opinions about the wedding. She is not receptive or appreciative. Instead, find things to compliment about her plans so she is less inse-

cure about her status and taste. Nicole is likely to be a difficult daughter-in-law. Our sympathies.

Dear Annie: I am a 57-year-old male in good health and physical shape. I have been divorced for 26 years. I have not been on a date in three years. This is not because I don’t wish to date, but because I don’t want to just go through the motions.

I am close to my children and family members, and I know they care about me and don’t want me to be alone. The problem is, they constantly say, “You must lower your standards if you want to find someone.” What are my standards? Simply put, I have no desire to be with someone I am not physically attracted to. They don’t think this should matter, and maybe they have a point, but it’s my decision. I have no problem waiting for the right person and realize it may never happen.

I love my family and don’t want to hurt their feelings. Other than rudely telling them to “butt out,” how can I get them to stop? -- Enough Dear Enough: As long as you understand that you may be missing out on some terrific partners for superficial reasons, this is entirely your choice. It is not rude to say, “I know you love me and mean well, but I need to make my own decisions, whether you agree or not. Please stop commenting on my social life.”

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Omerta in New York,” who sent a monetary gift to a friend in financial straits, insisting that he use it to buy a “luxury” item. She was offended when he used it to pay an outstanding bill.

I wonder whether she ever considered that, to her friend, knowing he would have electricity or telephone use for the next month might be a luxury. Ending their 40-year friendship over this is certainly her loss. -- Cherish Your Friends
