Laconia & Gilford police both adding free Hummers to fleets By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Laconia and Gilford police departments are adding Hummers to their fleets, compliments of the United States Army. Captain Bill Clary, commander of the support division, told the Police Commission yesterday that he, along with counterparts from Gilford, planned to collect the vehicles day at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. As the Keene police have purchased and the Concord police have requested a “Bearcat,” an armored vehicle, Chief Chris Adams was quick to insist that “we’re not getting an armored vehicle.” The primary role of the Hummer, which will be painted flat black, will be to replace the D.A.R.E. truck. Chief Kevin Keen of Gilford said that the Hummers became available through the military surplus program, by which the armed forces offer surplus but serviceable vehicles and equipment to local law enforcement agencies free of charge. Moreover, the Army will provide tires and spare parts for the vehicles as needed. see HUMMEr page 10

New LHS field to named for Coach Fitzgerald LACONIA — In his 31 years as head coach of Laconia High School’s football team, Jim Fitzgerald led his team to several state championship games, taking the title home in ‘94, ‘95 and ‘99. When asked what makes him proudest as a coach, though, he said it’s what his players accomplished after they left his team. “To see the kids who were part of the program, you feel that you’ve contributed to their successes in life,” Fitzgerald said in answer to
the query. Those successes can be as common as raising a family, he said, or as extraordinary as a career in national sports media. That he played a role in his players’ lives was evident at an announcement yesterday afternoon at the SAU office, where Jeff Price, a 1983 graduate and quarterback under Fitzgerald, rolled out a campaign to raise enough money — $100,000 — from former players to name the new all-weather athletic field LHS in honor of their coach.

LONDON (AP) — Hours after a British soldier in Afghanistan told medics she was suffering from stomach pains, the Royal Artillery gunner unexpectedly gave birth to a boy — the first child ever born to a member of Britain’s armed forces in combat. Britain’s defense ministry said Thursday the soldier told authorities she had not been aware she was pregnant and only consulted doctors on the day that she went into labor. The soldier, who arrived in Afghanistan in March, delivered the child Tuesday at Camp Bastion, the vast desert camp in southern Afghanistan’s Helmand province where Prince Harry is deployed and a Taliban attack last week killed two U.S. Marines. “Mother and baby are both in a stable condition in the hospital and are receiving the best possible care,” the ministry said in a statement. It said a team of doctors would fly out to Afghanistan in the coming days to help the soldier and her son return safely to Britain. see BIRTH page 5

Obama says extremists used video as ‘excuse’ to attack MIAMI (AP) — President Barack Obama said Thursday that extremists used an anti-Islam video as an excuse to assault U.S. interests overseas, including an attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. The president’s comments came as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton faced questions from members of the House and Senate about the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Benghazi in a series of closed-
door classified briefings on Capitol Hill. Republicans have accused the Obama administration of misreading the assault as the outgrowth of widespread demonstrations in the Middle East over the video. They insisted it was a terrorist attack, a term White House spokesman Jay Carney used on Thursday. Obama did not use the phrase. “What we do know is that the natural protests that arose because of the outrage over the video were used as an excuse by
extremists to see if they can also directly harm U.S. interests,” the president said at a candidate forum on the Spanish-language network Univision. Asked if that meant al-Qaida, Obama said, “We don’t know yet.” “We will focus narrowly and forcefully on groups like al-Qaida, the ones that carried out the 9/11 attacks. Those forces have not gone away,” the president said. Clinton also announced that, in line see VIDEO page 12
NEW YORK (AP) — A provocative ad that equates Muslim radicals with savages is set to go up in the city’s subway system as violent protests over an anti-Islamic film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad sweep over much of the Muslim world. A conservative blogger who once headed a campaign against an Islamic center near
the Sept. 11 terror attack site won a court order to post the ad in 10 subway stations next Monday. The ad reads, “In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad.” The ad was plastered on San Francisco city buses in recent weeks, prompting some
artists to deface the ads and remove some of the words, including “Jihad,” or holy war. The blogger, Pamela Geller, said she filed suit Thursday in the nation’s capital to post the ad in Washington’s transit system after officials declined to put up the ad in light of the uproar in the Middle East over see POSTERS page 12

16 Amish men & women guilty of hate crimes in Ohio hair attacks
CLEVELAND (AP) — Sixteen Amish men and women were convicted Thursday of hate crimes for a series of hair- and beard- cutting attacks on fellow sect members in a religious dispute that offered a rare and sometimes lurid glimpse into the closed and usually self-regulating community of believers. A federal jury found 66-year-old Samuel Mullet Sr., the leader of the breakaway group, guilty of orchestrating the cuttings
last fall in an attempt to shame mainstream members who he believed were straying from their beliefs. His followers were found guilty of carrying out the attacks, which terrorized the normally peaceful religious settlement that aims to live simply and piously. Prosecutors and witnesses described how sons pulled their father out of bed and chopped off his beard in the moonlight and how women surrounded their mother-in-

Hassan spent all but $16k of million she has raised in getting Dem nomination CONCORD (AP) — Democrat Maggie Hassan has spent all but $16,000 of the more than $1 million she raised in her primary campaign to be New Hampshire’s next governor. Hassan reported she had that much cash on hand to the Secretary of State on Wednesday. Republican rival Ovide Lamontagne also spent $1 million on his primary campaign, but is in better shape than Hassan with $258,000 in cash left heading into the general election. Hassan beat Jackie Cilley and Bill Kennedy in last week’s primary. Kennedy did not file a report. Cilley reported having $9,000 left of the more than $347,000 she raised in her losing effort. Lamontagne beat Kevin Smith and Robert Tarr. Tarr didn’t file a report, but Smith reported spending all but $323 of the $340,000 he raised. Both Hassan and Lamontagne are being helped by their respective national governors associations. The Republican Governors Association launched its first television ad criticizing Hassan two days after the primary. The ad portrays her as someone who will raise taxes — a common GOP strategy used against Democrats. The ad points to tax and fee hikes approved when Democrats controlled the Senate and Hassan was its majority leader as proof she can’t be trusted not to raise taxes as governor. “Maggie Hassan believes in taxes,” the ad concludes. Hassan campaign spokesman Will Craig called the ad “the same tired old misleading attack from Republicans” and added that Hassan has promised to veto personal income and sales taxes. The Democratic Governors Association featured Hassan on its website Thursday with a link to consee HASSAN page 10

LHS Class of ‘52 donates to cause, hopes others will join in By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Laconia High School Class of 1952 has donated an engraved brick paver to the Laconia High School Capital Campaign, a gift which Ward 2 City Councilman Matt Lahey says he hopes will resonate with other Laconia High School classes and encourage similar donations. The paver will join others at the entrance to the new Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. Lahey was on hand at Laconia High School Thursday morning to accept the donation from the Class of ‘52, which was represented at the event by Edie (Grant) Adams and Kirk Dougal. Adams, who grew up on Grant Road in Gilford, Kirk Dougal and Edie Grant Adams of the Laconia High School Class of 1952, which donated funds says that over the years for a granite paver as part of the Laconia High School Athletic Field Campaign, met with Ward 2 City the class had two fast Councilman Matt Lahey at Laconia High School to announce the donation.

CONCORD — The fourth man allegedly involved in the theft of ink and toner cartridges and computers from Staples Stores, including the one in Tilton, was arrested in Brooklyn, N.Y. Wednesday. Dwayne Dollar, 27, was apprehended without incident by the U.S. Marshals Joint Fugitive Task Force acting on information developed by Bedford Police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department. According to affidavits obtained from the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division and previous statements by Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier, Dollar, his brother Daquan, Kashif Louissant, and Ronnell Samuals all of Brooklyn, entered Staples on June 29 around 1 p.m. Police said they carried “booster” bags, which are lined bags with false bottoms that allow things to be stolen without tripping the detectors at the door, but they were immediately recognized by an employee who had been told the ring was in central New Hampshire by a loss prevention employee at
the Concord Staples Store. One of the four men threw his bag at the store employee and they all fled into the parking lot. Tilton Police, said Cormier, happened to be in the Staples parking lot because one of their officers was responding to a call of an errant driver. When the four ran from the store, police said one went to the car they drove, one fled toward Tanger Outlets, and two men ran into Shaw’s Supermarket. One of those men hid under some cardboard and fled through a fire door. Tilton Police reacted immediately and working with police from Northfield, Belmont and the N.H. State Police apprehended Daquan Dollar, Louissant and Samuals — two of whom were were trying to get into a car with New York plates and one of whom was running down the railroad tracks. Dwayne Dollar eluded local police. Marshals said he was charged in New York with being a fugitive from justice pending an extradition hearing after which he will likely be returned to New Hampshire to face a host of charges.
from preceding page tone, who had taken over the reins as head football coach following the death in February of 1951 of John Jay O’Connor, who died of cancer at the age of 39 after having coached at Laconia for seven years. ‘’I remember his funeral. It was the first time I’d ever gone to a funeral service in a Catholic church,’’ Dougal recalled. Laconia High School was also noted at that time for its prowess in other areas than athletics recalls Dorothy Duffy, a member of the Class of ‘52, who said that the Laconia High School Debate Team, coached by Marion Estes, gained statewide recognition for its skills. ‘’My older brother, Peter Nelson, was a member of the team and we were as proud of him as we watched him as we were of any athletes,’’ says Duffy. She also recalled the first-ever New Hampshire Presidential Primary in 1952, which brought Democrats Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and his coonskin cap and Governor Adlai Stevenson to the Granite State. ‘’But the big news was the Eisenhower campaign in the Republican primary. My mother was a Democrat and I used to come home singing the ‘I Like Ike’ song, which didn’t make her very happy,’’ says Duffy. The paver which the Class of ‘52 bought measures eight inches by eight inches and cost $250. Carroll Stafford, a member of the class, said that he bought a similar sized paver which lists the names of his family members who have graduated from Laconia High School and hopes that other Laconia families will do the same. The athletic facility upgrade is planned to coincide with an alreadybegun reconstruction of the Huot
Regional Technical Education Center and a renovation of the High School. The $16.8-million project will include a 32,000-square-foot addition to the high school and new science labs. School officials and volunteers have set out to raise $1-million of the total from private sources. To reach the campaign’s $1 million goal, the district is asking for donations of many sizes. Several local businesses have contributed in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. For example, the facility will be known as Bank of New Hampshire Stadium in honor of that institution’s $250,000 gift. For those who don’t own a large company, though, there are more modest ways for graduates, families or fans to participate in the project — and have their participation permanently commemorated. Plans for the new field include a walkway from a parking lot behind the school. For donations starting at $125, supporters of the project can have their name or a short message inscribed on a four by eight inch brick lining the walkway. Eight by eight pavers can be sponsored for $250. For a $1,000 donation, a square foot granite paver can be inscribed with a message or even an image. Those who wish to make a contribution through Paypal or by a credit card can do so through a website set up by the district. Go to laconiaschools.org and click on the “LHS Athletic Field Capital Campaign” link to do so. For those who purchase a granite paver, or make an equal or larger donation, the district is making available the option to spread the contribution over several years. For information on such an arrangement, email lhscapitalcampaign@laconiaschools.org or call the district at 524-5710.

LACONIA — A local man faces numerous charges after allegedly lying to police twice about his identity — each time telling police he was one of his brothers. Austin Brue, 19, of 85 Sheridan St. is charged with two counts of resisting arrest, two counts of filing a false report to police and one count of forgery. According to affidavits filed in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division Wednesday, police said the recent charges stem from an incident on June 24 when Austin Brue was arrested by a police officer and he gave her his brother name. He was booked under the name of Garrett Brue. Complaints said he knowingly signed numerous documents attesting his name was “Garrett Brue,” including fingerprint and bail forms. On August 14, the same officer saw Brue and this time he told her his name was Cory Brue, She said she ran the name “Cory Brue” on her computer and found an outstanding bench warrant for “Cory Brue” and told him he was under arrest. She said he pulled away from her and ran. When she learned who he really was, she applied for and was given a warrant for his arrest. On Tuesday morning at 11:30 a.m., a different police officer saw Austin Brue, who she said fit the description of someone who had been reported miss-
ing, walking down Mechanic Street. She stopped her cruiser and he told her his name was Cory A. Adams and that he was in a hurry because he had to get to his job at Subway. She said fine but she had to check “Cory A. Adams” for outstanding warrants. She said he gave her a birth date of March 8, 1992 but when she asked him how old he was, he began counting. Then he told her again that he was in a hurry because he had to get to his job across the street where he does roofing. She told him that he wasn’t under arrest but asked him to sit in the back of her cruiser while she checked the information he gave her. She said he sat in the back seat but when she told him to put his feet inside the cruiser, he jumped up and ran down Mechanic Street. She said she found him a short time later hiding in the bushes behind some houses on Mechanic Street. This time, she said he told her his real name and birth date. Austin Brue was held overnight and appeared before Judge Jim Carroll on Wednesday afternoon. He is facing one count of forgery, two counts of giving false information to a police officer, and two counts of resisting arrest. Carroll ordered him held on $400 cash bail. As of Thursday evening, he was not in the Belknap County House of Corrections.
BIRTH from page 2 The U.K. does not allow female soldiers to deploy on operation if they are pregnant. Although the soldier’s child was conceived before her tour of duty began in March, she is not likely to face censure. Britain has sent female soldiers home from wars after they became pregnant — including about 60 from Afghanistan — but hasn’t previously had a servicewoman go into labor in a war zone. In 2009, the U.S. military in Iraq issued a policy that could punish soldiers who became pregnant
there and their sexual partners — then quickly rescinded it after a storm of criticism. The British soldier, a citizen of Fiji, is one of about 500 British military women serving in Afghanistan. She is also among around 2,000 Fijians who serve in the British military, even though the country became independent from Britain in 1970. Camp Bastion, which hosts the U.S. Camp Leatherneck, is home to most of Britain’s 9,500 soldiers in Afghanistan.

Our disgraceful minimum wage In natural terms, our economy is a giant sequoia. Unfortunately, our present corporate and governmental leadership can’t seem to grasp one of the basic laws of nature: You can’t keep a mighty tree alive (much less have it thrive) by only spritzing the fine leaves at the tippy-top. The fate of the whole tree depends on nurturing the roots. Sadly, we’re led by a myopic crew of leaf-spritzers. Elites in Washington, on Wall Street and in the corporate suites have taken exquisite care of themselves. Blithely oblivious to the dangerous shriveling of the roots, they’ve increased their take by offshoring our middle-class jobs, slashing American wages and benefits, busting the ability of unions to fight back, deregulating their nefarious corporate and financial operations, dodging their tax obligations, privatizing and gutting public services (from schools to food stamps), and turning our elections into auctions run by and for billionaires, thus robbing America itself of its unifying ethos: economic fairness and social justice. One of the least excusable of today’s injustices is that in this country of unsurpassed wealth, it’s an abomination that the power elites are casually tolerating poverty pay as our wage floor. How deplorable that they can actually juxtapose the words “working” and “poor” without blinking, much less blushing. Nearly 4-million Americans are being paid at or below the desiccated federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour. For a single mother with two kids, that’s $4,000 a year beneath the poverty level. Where are the ethics in a “work ethic” that rewards so many with paychecks that deliberately hold them in poverty? Consider the kind of life $7.25 buys. At that rate, a full-time worker is taking in only $1,250 a month, before payroll taxes. Try stretching that over the basics of rent, utilities, groceries and gas. Need car repair? Lose your job? What if you get sick? Good luck. Corporate politicos and front groups have draped a thick tapestry of myths and excuses over the miserly wage. “The only people paid the minimum,” goes one of their oldest dodges, “are teenagers working part-time summer jobs for extra cash.” In fact, only 6.4-percent of these low-wage employees are teen part-timers. Contrary to the stereotype, the typical minimumwage worker is an adult, white woman (including many single moms) whose family relies on her paycheck. The right-wingosphere argues that lifting the wage floor would keep employers from hiring. Not true. The reason corporations aren’t hiring is that consumers aren’t purchasing their products, thanks to the economic realities of lost jobs,
wage cuts and inflation that have shrunk the buying power of working families. The one simple step that would immediately add juice to the consumer economy (which accounts for two-thirds of America’s economic activity) is to do the one thing that boneheaded lawmakers adamantly refuse even to consider: Raise the spending power of millions of lowwage workers by hiking the legal minimum wage. Raising it to $10 an hour would elevate 30 million hardworking Americans now paid a poverty or near-poverty level income. While it would still be tough to raise a family on a $10-an-hour wage ($20,800 a year), it does move our country a lot closer to the principle that work ought to be fairly rewarded, restoring a measure of ethics to the work ethic. Such a percolate-up solution would provide a huge and direct lift out of our present doldrums — a study last year by Chicago’s Federal Reserve Bank found that every dollar increase in the minimum wage produces an immediate bump in the next year of $2,800 per recipient in consumer purchases of everything from kids’ shoes to vehicles. The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) reported in a 2009 study that even a boost to $9.50 an hour would result in $30 billion a year in new consumer spending. Numerous in-depth studies show that hiking the wage does not cause either small businesses or giants like McDonald’s to rush out and slash their workforce in order to offset the relatively small cost of paying employees a bit better. To the contrary, most studies show that overall job numbers go up. The public is overwhelmingly behind the increase. This June, a Zogby Analytics survey of likely voters found seven out of 10 supporting a raise above $10 an hour (including 54-percent of Republicans). Notably, 71-percent of young people (18 to 23 years old) favored it. Likewise, last November’s “American Values Survey” by the Public Religion Research Institute showed two-thirds of Americans in favor of a $10-per-hour minimum. The super-rich are fast separating their good fortunes from the wellbeing of the many. It’s not just America’s economy they’re skewing, but our values. They’re destroying the place where egalitarianism, upward mobility and the middle class once had a welcoming home. That’s the fight we’re in — a historic fight to decide who we Americans really are. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
LETTERS 20% of wage earners paying 80% of the total tax bill isn’t fair? To the editor, I just heard Dr. Barbara Bellar quite accurately sum up ObamaCare in one sentence. This is quite a long sentence, so please bear with me. In her own words, Dr. Bellar says, “Let me get this straight, we are going to be gifted with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don’t; which reportedly covers at least 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor but provides for 16,000 new IRS Agents; written by a committee who’s chairman says he doesn’t understand it and passed by a Congress that says they didn’t read it, but exempted themselves from it; and signed by a president who smokes, that is being administered by a Treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes; for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government that has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare; all to be overseen by a Surgeon General who is obese, and financed by a country that is broke” I can’t think of anything left out of this sentence except that this plan will add seven new taxes that directly affect only the middle class that the president claims to support; eight new taxes that directly affect employers; orders the Secretary of HHS to eliminate preventive health care in Medicare and implement preventive health care in Medicaid; directs the Secre-
tary of Defense to eliminate Tri-Care services for Veterans, shift Veterans to Medicaid and provide the funding from Tri-Care to HHS to help pay for preventive health care in Medicaid. The CBO estimates the effect of the middle class taxes will add approximately $2,000 per year taxes on the middle class families of N.H. and an estimated $2,000 per employee tax on businesses in N.H. This is the plan being supported by Robert Lamb and all the Democrat candidates running for governor, the U.S. Congress (District 1 & 2), the N.H. House and the N.H. Senate. I ask the people who support the people that want to tax us if you can afford this? I ask the business owners that support the people that want to tax us how many people will you not hire because of the cost of these taxes? The president and his supporters make a big deal about taxing the rich to pay their fair share. I don’t know what their idea of “fair share” is, since the top 20-percent of wage earners pay almost 80-percent of the income taxes received. Sounds like the president not only wants to take more money from the people earning over $250 thousand, which will pay for only eight days of his spending but take from the middle class, the retired and the veterans.

Look at both sides so you can make a better-informed decision To the editor, I normally don’t rebut letters to the editor because everyone is entitled to their opinion. But I’m compelled to respond to Dr. Thomas Dawson of Laconia. Here’s the doc’s prescription and I quote: “Do not watch Fox News. Do watch CNN And MSNBC.” And, “If you watch and believe Fox News, you are getting an extremley distorted view of America”. He continues his one-sided rant by calling Fox News slanted, right wing and distorted. The doc continues on with a dig at Limbaugh people, sounding like a lemming willing to follow anyone who is
even quasi-articulate as long as they have a cause he can latch onto. Hey, Doc...I’ll bet you didn’t get that biased, blind-allegiance thinking in med school. Rather than follow your prescription, I’d prefer to be a more independent thinker, Doc... someone who cares enough to look at both sides of an issue so that I can make a better-informed decision as opposed to blindly following some broad-based ideology. So, take a chill pill, Doc... and try to look at all sides of the issues. BTW, O’Riley is on tonight at 8. Tom Sellew Lochmere

LETTERS Democrats did not leave a $900M structural deficit, look it up
He lumped 47% in 1 category without considering how they got there
To the editor, “There she goes, again!”. With a nod to our 40th President, we’re referring to recent remarks in the public press by current State Representative Collette Worsman of Meredith about the “rampant and irresponsible spending” during the four years the Democrats controlled the N.H. Legislature. She refers in her article to “100 new taxes and fees,” a structural deficit, “budget “gimmicks, etc. created by the 2006-2008 and 20082010 legislatures There’s only one problem: IT ISNT’ TRUE! Some of our current (and past) candidates for the N.H. Legislature have a habit of myth-making to explain away the negative and counter-productive accomplishments of the current 2010-2012 legislature, especially by the House of Representatives led by the now-infamous Speaker of the House, Bill O’Brien. Myths are typically created by those who have no real explanations for their activities. The problem comes when such myths fly in the face of real facts. Myth One: “The Democrats increased spending 25-percent during their two terms in power.” Most of the apparent surge in total spending for the period was because of the decisions by the then Legislative Budget Office and the Legislature to increase budgetary transparency on spending items that were historically hidden from public view. Therefore, comparing these budgets to previous periods is like comparing apples to oranges. Further, Representative Worsman uses the original budget spending numbers and ignores the fact that, as the economy worsened, significant cuts in spending were made by the Legislature to keep the budget in balance. Myth Two: “They left us with a $900-million structural deficit.” NOT. The final 2008-2010 budget actually left a $17-million SURPLUS! If you doubt it, look it up in the state’s final accounting report for the period. We do agree with Worsman’s use of the term “structural deficit.” However, the “structural” aspect is the result of budget decisions dating well before the 20082010 period, AND is the result of our revenue choices not keeping up with the growth of state’s economy and inflation. The N.H. Center for Public Policy has published numerous studies that examine in great detail the nature of the problem. That means that EVERY new legislature — either Democrat or Republican — has to choose between increasing revenues, cuts state services, finding efficiencies, or some combination of all of these. Most of these legislatures have historically sought to find a balance — including those in 2006-2008 and 2008-2010 terms. Not the 2010-
To the editor, Mr. Young: I read with interest your letter in the Sept. 19 edition, in which you supported Mitt Romney’s callous words regarding the 47-percent who do not pay federal taxes. I was confused at your stance because it seems to me that you once again contradicted statements you previously have made. You always speak highly of our military vets and your support for the men and women who return with injuries. You have stated the American people should support them for the very service they have provided. Then how can you condone Mr. Romney’s statement? In his statement he says that 47-percent of Americans do not pay taxes and are in fact only looking and living on handouts. These very people you have supported are part of that 47-percent number. They receive veteran benefits, which is a government program. This money falls within that category in the tax structure classified as unearned income — the very tax structure that both Republicans and Democrats proposed and voted to implement in the past. Mr. Romney said “they did not take responsibility and care for their own lives.” He categorized them as moochers and lazy and only concerned with handouts from the government. Included in this category are the elderly who receive Social Security, also a government program and classified as unearned income, thus not taxable under the federal tax schedule. Have you forgotten that many men and women have died fighting for the very rights you claim to believe in and the very Constitution you claim to sup-
2012 Republican Legislature, however. Myth Three: “They raised a hundred taxes and fees.” This is a great distortion of reality. We can personally attest to this as one of us (Bill Johnson) sat on the Ways and Means Committee during the 2008-2010 term. Most of the fees raised during the terms in question were the result of requests coming from THOSE PAYING THE FEES! Over time, fee schedules don’t keep up with increases in the cost of needed services. When the services decline, the service-user come to the Legislature to ask for the increases. And the tax increases? Nine increases, including five tobacco tax increases, in all. Many of these were retained by the current Legislature. Of course, they did cut the tobacco tax. The trade off was to make cuts in university and hospital support. You can decide if smokers should trump higher education or health. Myth Four: “...their use of Federal Stimulus dollars.” Sure, we used the federal funds. The myth is that Democrats are the only ones that do this. Not true! The use of federal funds is an integral part of state budgeting. Republican legislatures have been doing this for years. Does the term “Medi-scam” ring a bell? This involves taxing our hospitals for the use of receiving a federal match, supposedly for the benefit of health care in the state. This budgetary device was created by previous Republican legislatures. Why is it a scam? The funds are used for balancing the state budget, not for health care. The recent legislature increased the scam by refusing to return the “tax” to the medical providers. Further, the use of federal stimulus dollars achieved their intended purpose — to maintain state services and to offset the effects of the greatest economic downturn since the 1930s. Myth Five: “New Hampshire has a bloated government and the state taxpayers are over-taxed.” NOT SO. Our state ranks as the fifth lowest in terms of per capita state spending and the third lowest in taxation. And these numbers are somewhat inflated as the state spending number includes the “state-wide property tax,” which is tax absconded by the state from local government to justify its claim to support local education. The tax ranking would also be even lower if it didn’t include local taxes. How will Representative Worsman answer these? I suspect she’ll take the tack of her national party and vow to not let facts stand in the way of ideology — read “myth.” Bill Johnson & Lisa DiMartino of Gilford Kate Miller& Sandy Mucci of Meredith Democratic Candidates N.H.

Obama turning us into a nation of takers of other people’s money To the editor, There is one issue that is hardly mentioned when we talk about the up-coming election. One that is critical in determining what this country will look like in the future. Elections have consequences, and should Obama be re-elected, there is a very good chance that he will have the opportunity of appointing perhaps two more judges to the U.S. Supreme Court — judges with the same leftist leanings as Justice Sotomayor and Elena Kagen. This would be disastrous for the country.
the Republican Party immediately remove these signs. Our campaign has been and will continue to be a discussion of the issues most important to New Hampshire citizens. We welcome Jeanie to join us across the district in real forums and discussions where public citizens on both sides of the aisle have an opportunity to interview both candidates for the New Hampshire State Senate. Dave Lam Campaign Manager
Should President Obama be reelected, it is my prediction that the 2nd Amendment to our Constitution (the right to bear arms) will be under attack. This is why gun manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand. And this is the only one example of what we can expect.

N.H. GOP put up signs Sen. Forrester’s distancing herself from To the editor, This is in response to Carol Gerken’s letter of Sept 19. As Bob Lamb’s campaign manager I will confirm that Bob has not signed up to support an income tax. Our campaign is happy to see that the Forrester Campaign also recognizes this fact and seeks to distance itself from this negative campaign attack against Bob Lamb. These signs were created and paid for by the Republican State Party. We would respectfully ask that the
port? Did it even enter your mind that when speaking to the elderly you must take into consideration these individuals worked and paid into the system? Both state and federal taxes. These taxes paid for your education, paid for the roads you drive on, etc. Before you were even old enough to hold a job these elderly people were paying into the state and federal tax systems. Did it also not occur to you that these elderly and vets spent money in your businesses which provided you with an income. Did it not also occur to you that many people work and pay payroll taxes but under the federal tax structure (and I remind you the very tax structure both Republicans and Democrats voted to implement) have not earned enough money to pay into the federal tax structure and therefore can hardly be called lazy or moochers. You have also, when filing your federal taxes used the very exemptions that these working people use. It is very easy to lump people into one category as Mr. Romney did, and which you agree was correct on his part. But this is just a nonsensical statement that did not take into consideration all the many people in this category and the means by which they are in this category. So I ask you, Mr. Young, did you not take the time to analyze his statement thus causing you to speak as inelegantly as he claims he did? Or perhaps you were just inarticulate as Mr. Ryan claimed Mr. Romney was? Nancy Parsons Laconia

LETTERS Voters entitled to know where both of us stand on key issues
14 things I have learned about the ‘new’ Democratic Party
To the editor, I attended the Candidates’ Forum at the Wicwas Lake Grange in Meredith last night (9/19). I thought that it was a good event. The moderator was very balanced and the voters were afforded a great opportunity to hear eight candidates for the N.H. House answer a wide range of questions. Four of these candidates will represent the towns of Meredith and Gilford following the Nov. 6th election. This was an important event. As I was listening to the questioning, it was clear to me that Jeanie Forrester and I had missed a great opportunity to present ourselves to a large group of interested voters. I was disappointed she canceled the event she had originally set up in “her” town. I cannot understand why she canceled after I had accepted, but the real losers in this were the interested voters who could have seen both Senate candidates answer the same questions asked of the House candidates. When Jeanie first set up the Meredith event back in July, she agreed to participate in a similar event in Plymouth, which “was mine to arrange.” This 90-minute forum, scheduled for October 10th, is to be a 45 minute question and answer period led by a non-partisan moderator and 45 minutes of questions submitted to the moderator by audience members. I hope that her decision to cancel the forum in Meredith does not mean that she will not honor her commitment to ensure that the voters in Plymouth and the surrounding towns have an opportunity to listen to the both of us. I will be at the Pease Public Library on Wednesday, October 10th from 6:30-8 p.m. to answer voters’ questions. It is true that I initially scheduled two more forums, one in the western part of the district (Haverhill) and
To the editor, Things that I have learned about the ‘new’ (progressive) Democratic Party. They are: — That if you disagree with President Obama’s policies, you are a racist. — That a grade of ‘incomplete’ is a reason for four more years for President Obama. — That the president has time for Letterman but not for Netanyahu . — That the system in Washington is rigged (E. Warren). Who is in charge? The Democrats. — That President Obama must be in bed with the oil companies. High gas prices, record profits. He pushed President Bush out-of-the-bed and jumped in. In 2008, Obama stated that high gas prices are a crisis for most Americans and a clear sign of Washington’s failure to lead. Today, President Obama stated we are making progress. — That obese people are the greatest treat to national security (Michelle Obama). Were the terrorists in Egypt and Libya obese? — That Democratic womens’ priorities are free birth control and abortions. I gathered this by listening to
one in the southern part (Tilton). I believe it is important for the voters in both these areas to have the same opportunity to listen to us and ask us questions. I invited Jeanie to join me at these forums. Jeanie claims that I never worked with her to reach an agreement. This is not true. I made several attempts in the last two weeks by phone and by e-mail to discuss the scheduling with her, including the Meredith and the Plymouth forums. My efforts were met with silence. She never returned my phone calls or responded to my e-mails. Nevertheless, I have moved forward and scheduled public events in four areas of the district so that voters have an opportunity to ask me questions. The first forum will be October 9th at the Horse Meadow Senior Center in Haverhill from 6:30-8 p.m. The second will be in Plymouth at the Pease Public Library on Wednesday, October 10th from 6:30-8 p.m. The third will be October 16th in Tilton at the Tilton Senior Center from 6:30-8 p.m.. The final event will be in Jeanie’s town of Meredith on Thursday October 18th at the Community Center from 6:30-8 p.m. I have fundamental differences with my opponent and her voting record during the last two years and what direction the state should be moving in during the next two years. The voters are entitled to know where both of us stand on the important issues facing the state legislature and ask questions about the issues important to them. I am ready to stand up and explain my positions to the voters. I would hope that she is willing to do the same. Bob Lamb Democratic candidate for NH Senate District 2 Ashland
all the speakers at the Democratic Convention. — That if a union strikes against a Democrat, it is a misunderstanding and shouldn’t have happened. If the strike is against a Republican, the Republicans are trying to bust the union and it is a national crisis (Chicago vs. Wisconsin). — That Ms Cilley’s loss was not due to her insistence on not taking the pledge. — That a Democrat voter told the Town Clerk in Sanbornton that he did not have an ID. Maybe he took the train or the bus to the poll. Followed him to his car and he drove away. — That Democrats are asking other Democrats to lie and say that they do not have a photo id. Very mature way to fight the law. — That I served with the Russian Navy and my son was in the Turkish Air Force. As least the admiral speaking at the Democrat convention was in the U.S. Navy. Last, I learned that Democrats needed to vote three times to put God back in their platform. I also learned Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel. Jim Mayotte Sanbornton
We need to support people who will help build our middle class To the editor, People had a chance to listen to President Obama put his thoughts right out front at the Democratic National Convention. “Our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met. The path we offer is harder, but it can be met” was the theme of his address to the nation and will be the theme for his next four years in office. The president cannot do this alone. It takes help on the local and state level. The goals of increasing manufacturing and trade cannot be realized unless voters turn out in record numbers and support new energy programs, make
education more affordable, invest in the economy with money that is not going to foreign wars. We are on the right road to recovery. Economists project that 12-million jobs will be created over the next four years on top of the six million already created. We need to elect people who will support economic growth in the middle class by re-electing Barack Obama for president. Our problems can be solved, but voters have to act and November is the time to do that by voting for Barack Obama. Joe Denning Bristol

Community reaction to flood at Ashland School astounded me To the editor, As the new principal of Ashland Elementary School, I was more than a bit overwhelmed last week when a water heater burst in the William J. Tirone Gymnasium and flooded the entire building. Within minutes of this disaster, our incredible custodial staff sprang into action, stopping the flow of water while I ran back to the main building to make a few frantic SOS calls. Somehow, in the time it took me to make those calls, grab a camera and return to the gym, it was full of people! I’m not talking about people just standing around, gawking at the mess and shaking their heads in disbelief-Oh no! These were people of action! People who brought things — useful things like shop-vacs and mops and push brooms! I couldn’t believe my own eyes. Water was rushing out of that building in waves as the Ashland Fire Department, led by Chief Steve Heath (also a teacher at AES) teamed up with Dan Uhlman and his crew from Ash-
land Lumber to get it moving in the right direction. I spotted Town Clerk Patsy Tucker calmly pushing a huge mop the length of the floor just before I realized, there at center court manning a giant squeegie and wearing a look of grim determination, was Bill Tirone himself. At this point I almost burst into tears — so amazed, overwhelmed and humbled by this unexpected show of support. Thinking back, I really shouldn’t have been surprised. When I interviewed for the Ashland principal position last spring, I learned first hand how much the parents and community care about this school. Their reaction to our emergency was just another shining example of their loyalty and commitment. I am writing this letter to personally thank those who came to our rescue that day and recognize their extraordinary dedication to the students of Ashland Elementary School. I am honored to be a part of such an amazing community. Shannon J. Bartlett, Principal Ashland Elementary School
We don’t want another tax & spend politician who ‘knows better’ To the editor, When Jeanie Forrester was elected to the State Senate in 2010, she rose to the occasion with hard work and dedication. Now she has experience on top of that, along with a reputation for responsiveness to constituents. She stands for smaller, more efficient, more responsible government, and works hard to prevent the erosion of civil liberties and to protect the sanctity of private property. These are the things that we have traditionally valued here in New Hampshire. Her motivations are truly altruistic, and she has managed to remain humble and accessible. I have contacted her on a number of issues, and have never failed to get a plain and honest personal answer, even when she knows it’s not the one I want to hear. Her opponent, Democrat Bob Lamb, is a very successful businessman and a polished talker. But I have heard
with my own ears the half-truths and emotional but empty rhetoric with which he panders to the uninformed. I have seen with my own eyes the unsavory political tactics he’s not above employing. He is the archetypal transplant from Massachusetts, who comes here for the natural beauty, freedom, low crime and low taxes, and then promptly tries to “move New Hampshire forward”. Do we want a senator with character and a record of service who emphasizes self-reliance, or do we want another Machiavellian tax-andspend politician who thinks he knows what’s better for us than we do? Do we want to be the “Live Free or Die” state, or do we want to become “Northern Massachusetts”? Re-elect Jeanie Forrester! Brad Rohdenburg Meredith

HUMMER from page one Keenan plans to fit the Hummer with light bars and a radio, both of which the department has in stock, and paint the khaki or camouflage flat black. “The only cost will be to change the color,” he said. Keenan said his department has only one SUV and the Hummer will provide off-road capability as well as a means of “getting around in the winter.” NOTE: Among the goals set by the Police Department when the year began was to reduce the number of motor vehicle accidents involving officers. In 2011, officers were involved in 20 accidents, almost all minor, and at fault in 17 of them.

She said she expected to benefit from spending by independent groups and predicted the attacks by independent Republican groups aimed at helping Lamontagne probably will be answered by independent Democratic groups who would rather she won. The two are vying to fill the seat opened up by Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s retirement.

Forrester campaign agrees ‘Defeat Bob Lamb’ signs have no place in race By Michael Kitch
MEREDITH — Although the New Hampshire Senate candidates in District 2 — Republican incumbent Jeanie Forrester of Meredith and her Democratic challenger Bob Lamb of Holderness — have sparred over when and where to debate, if at all, both took offense when signs reading “NO Income Tax! Defeat Bob Lamb” appeared in the district. Lamb has declined to take the traditional pledge to vote against a personal income or general sales tax, but has not advocated either. Soon after he charged that the signs misrepresented his position on taxes, Carol Gerken, who manages Forrester’s campaign, disavowed them in a strongly worded letter to local newspapers. She wrote that the signs were printed and placed “without the knowledge, approval or
consent” of the Forrester campaign. “The unauthorized placement of these signs sends an unwelcome negative message,” she continued, adding that Forrester intended “to remain positive, civil, and respectful both to those running for office and the voters of District 2.” Forrester said yesterday that she did not know who was responsible for the signs. “I haven’t looked at them closely,” she said. “I’ve got nothing to do with them.” However, she said that when she asked Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin what could be done, he told me “don’t touch them.” The signs were purchased and erected by the New Hampshire Republican State Committee. In a public statement issued yesterday Dave Lam, Lamb’s campaign manager “respectfully” asked Forrester to request that the party remove them.
FITZGERALD from page one nical Education Center and a renovation of the high school. The project is already underway and will add 32,000-squarefeet of space to the campus, including new science labs. Speaking via telephone from Charlotte, N.C., Price said his experience as a member of the football team, especially the guidance of Fitzgerald, played a large role in his young life. “Coach was always helpful,” he said, counseling him on college and career choices as often as he talked football. “So many important moments, so many life lessons, I got from coach.” Price went on to Bates College, then to a sports management internship at the University of Massachusetts. For eight years, Price ran the digital platform for Sports Illustrated, he now performs the same function as president and publisher of Sporting News in St. Louis. In April, when Price heard about the district’s capital campaign and the opportunity to secure the naming right to the playing field, he concluded that the most deserving name would be Fitzgerald. After a few phone calls and Facebook posts, he found others who felt the same way. Now calling themselves “Fitzy’s Silver Sachems,” Price is joined by former players Phil Estes, Dick Swett, Steve Gardener, Randy Pike and Tom Malkowski, who collectively have pledged $50,000 toward the goal. Half-way there, the Silver Sachems are going public with the campaign and invite other former players to join them.Those interested should call Price at 646-691-0927. “It really is great to see that honor bestowed upon someone so deserving,” Price said. He said Fitzgerald coached with “fire” and “passion,” whether on the sidelines of a championship game or leading a pre-season practice. Fitzgerald’s attention wasn’t reserved for his star players, either, said Price, recalling how the establishment of “team feeds” encouraged a sense of cameraderie among team members. “It didn’t matter what part of the community you came from, you were all part of the same community,” Price said. The team feeds were actually his wife Jeannine’s idea, said Fitzgerald. Born and raised in Gardiner, Maine, Fitzgerald joined the U.S. Army as an airborne intelligence officer after graduating from high school. He went to the University of Maine after his military service
and was hired as an assistant coach and teacher at LHS in 1971. In ‘72, Fitzgerald was named head coach. In his time at LHS, he also taught social studies, physical education and served as athletic director. Jeannine, who grew up in South Gardiner, Maine, conceived of the “team feed” concept as soon as he was hired — but their second-floor apartment was too small, so they waited until they purchased their first home on Opechee Street, where they still live. “If there was ever a team, they worked as a team,” said Matt Lahey, current city councilor who played defensive back for Fitzgerald in the early 1970s. In addition to starting the team feeds, Jeannine was critical in the formation of the Friends of Sachem Football and earned a reputation as being one of the team’s most vocal fans. The Fitzgeralds have three daughters and one grandson. “I loved it as much as the kids loved it,” Fitzgerald said about coaching. As a coach, he feels the same kind of connection to players and former players that their parents to. He celebrates their successes and grieves their losses. “Coaching goes beyond the football field, beyond any sport,” he said. “In some cases, kids desperately need that. There have been many great players that come out of Laconia, they’re all special to me.” Dedication to players was not an attribute unique to him, Fitzerald added. “I was gifted over the years to have great assistant coaches... We always had coaches with high integrity, whose concern for the kids went beyond the football field.” As a coach, Fitzgerald said his ultimate goal was to instill in his players a sense of confidence — “that they can achieve things that they may have thought to be unattainable... they can match up, they can play with other kids that may have had other opportunities in life, that they can play with them.” He hoped that players were able to carry that confidence into college, a career or military service. “Whatever path a kid chooses after they come out of our program, I felt they were prepared,” he said. Fitzgerald was “humbled” and “honored” to have the field named in his honor. After all, it seems to indicate that he achieved what he set out to do as a coach. “It’s gratifying to see that the kids that went through this program thought enough of the school to give back to the community,” he said.

City not pursing idea of sharing radio tower with radio stations LACONIA — The city and Northeast Communications Corporation of Franklin, which owns a handful of radio stations in Franklin, Plymouth and Moultonborough, have chosen not to pursue further consideration of erecting a tower on Parade Road that would serve both the police department and the broadcasting company. The police operate from a telephone pole on Parade Road at the junction with Hilliard Road. City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that earlier this year Northeast Communications approached the city, offering to build a tower close to the same site,
which it would donate to the city then lease space for its own antenna. Myers said that while the advantages of sharing towers are obvious, the size of the footprint and the height of the tower proposed were not suited to the location. These drawbacks, he said, outweighed the additional conveniences and operational efficiencies offered by the project. However, he noted that the city welcomes such partnerships and is open to reasonable and workable proposals of this kind. The flagship radio station for Northeast is Mix 94.1-FM in Franklin. — Michael Kitch
VIDEO from page 2 with federal law, she will appoint an independent panel to look at circumstances of the attack in Benghazi that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and there other employees. The so-called Accountability Review Board will be chaired by retired diplomat Thomas Pickering, she said. Democrats and Republicans emerging from the briefings provided some details about what the administration is still piecing together — who was responsible, how much of it was planned and what was the security. Joining Clinton at the back-to-back briefings were Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter. Rep. Adam Smith of Washington state, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, said it was “clearly a terrorist attack,” but mortars weren’t used until six, seven hours into the fight. “So it seemed like an armed gang that seized an opportunity,” Smith said.
Both Smith and Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersburger of Maryland, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said there was no evidence to suggest that the local Libyans at the consulate colluded with the attackers. Published reports suggested that Sufyan bin Qumu, a former detainee at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, who was transferred to Libya in 2007, was involved. Lawmakers asked about Qumu at the briefing. “But not directly related to the attack, but as someone who’s in that region,” Smith said. “They’re attempting to establish whether or not he was connected to the people who made the attack. He’s certainly a person of interest.” Investigators have found no evidence or intelligence to suggest Qumu was at the conflict, leading it or organizing it, according to a U.S. official, speaking anonymously because he was not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
POSTERS from page 2 the anti-Islam film. Abdul Yasar, a New York subway rider who considers himself an observant Muslim, said Geller’s ad was insensitive in an unsettling climate for Muslims. “If you don’t want to see what happened in Libya and Egypt after the video — maybe not so strong here in America — you shouldn’t put this up,” Yasar said. But “if this is a free country, they have the right to do this,” he said. “And then Muslims have the right to put up their own ad.” Geller, executive director of the American Freedom Defense Initiative and publisher of a blog called Atlas Shrugs, called an order by a federal judge in New York allowing the ads “a victory for the First Amendment” and said she wasn’t concerned that her ad could spark protests like the ones against the depiction of Muslims in the video “Innocence of Muslims.” Violence linked to the movie has left at least 30 people in seven countries dead, including the American ambassador to Libya. “If it’s not a film it’s a cartoon, if it’s not a cartoon it’s a teddy bear,” she
said. “What are you going to do? Are you going to reward Islamic extremism? I will not sacrifice my freedom so as not to offend savages.” New York police aren’t anticipating adding any security to subways when the ads go up and have received no threats or reports of violence relating to them, chief spokesman Paul Browne said. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority in New York initially refused to run Geller’s ad, saying it was “demeaning.” But U.S. District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer ruled last month that it is protected speech under the First Amendment. “Our hands are tied,” MTA spokesman Aaron Donovan said. “Under our existing ad standards as modified by the injunction, the MTA is required to run the ad.” Donna Lieberman, executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, backed publication of the “patently offensive” ads. “More offensive would be their censorship because that would violate the guarantee of free expression of all ideas regardless of how distasteful they are,” she said.

Vintage McDuff marine engine, made in Lakeport, found at bottom of Winnipesaukee, near Bear Island By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — A bit of Lake Winnipesaukee history was recovered from the lake near Bear Island in mid-July by Jeff Fay, manager of Fay’s Boat Yard, and a crew of helpers who pulled up a more than 90-year-old four-cylinder, 20 horsepower McDuff marine engine. Fay, who has an extensive collection of the engines which were built on Gold Street in Lakeport by William J. McDuff, says that it as a later model engine than many of the the other nine McDuff. engines that he owns and that he is looking at having it running this coming winter after restoring it. “It’s kind of unique with a starting motor and a generator. That shows it was probably built close to 1920. But the water pump was still on it, even though the carburetors rusted away. I can’t believe it’s in such good shape for being down there so long,’’ says Fay, who thinks the engine has been probably sitting at the bottom of the lake since the 1938 hurricane. He says that he and his son, Steven, were scuba diving in late June near the island when they came across the motor. ‘’We’d been out in some deeper water where my dad, Merrill Fay, thought there might be some old
boats down there but we didn’t find anything, so we headed back towards the island. The water was about 15 feet deep where we found it and it was covered in rust. But I knew from one of the parts that fell apart in my hand that it was a McDuff,’’ says Fay, who later returned and was able to find the name plate on the engine. He said that the 500-pound engine was brought to the surface using come-a-long winches in mid-July and brought to his workshop, where he was able to scrape the rust off with a putty knife. He then filled see next page

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — It’s big money and Godzilla in Maine’s sixway race for retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe’s seat. The campaign cash, more than $1 million in attack ads, comes from Republicans trying to paint front-runner Angus King, a former two-term independent governor, as an unpredictable spender of taxpayer money. “Mainers can’t afford to send this King to Washington,” says one ad, sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which is spending more than $500,000 in TV advertising in the state. King says they’re trying to make him look like a scary monster in a race the GOP never expected and, seven weeks before Election Day, look poised to lose. “You know better,” King, 68, tells voters in his own ad, touting his fiscal track-record over footage of Godzilla stomping through a town. “Folks from away,” King says of outside interest groups pumping cash into the race, “might think we were born at night up here, but it wasn’t last night.” King supports President Barack Obama’s re-election, but what scares Senate Republicans most is that if King wins the election, he will align himself with Democrats. King has not committed to caucusing with either party, and the state’s largest voter bloc has no party affiliation. The GOP was virtually assured of keeping the Senate seat before Snowe abruptly abandoned the race, causing a complication in the party’s broader
drive to gain four seats and control of the chamber. That goal seemed in reach a few months ago, but developments in other Senate races have clouded the GOP’s chances of attaining it in the Nov. 6 elections. Maine’s multiple-candidate race does nothing to improve the prospects. So conservatives are pumping money into the state, attacking King as a Democrat in an independent’s clothing. In addition to the chamber of commerce, Senate Republicans are adding about $600,000 to help GOP Secretary of State Charlie Summers keep the seat in the party’s hands. “Angus talks about being an umpire or a referee,” Summers, 53, said of King’s vow to start the process of repairing the polarized Congress. “Umpires and referees don’t win games. People who stand for something do.” Also in the Senate race are Democrat Cynthia Dill, 47, who says she is the best candidate to represent the middle class, and three other independents. That there is a competitive race at all in Maine was a surprise to the political world. Snowe is retiring after this year. She is one of the few centrists left in the Senate, where, she said, partisanship often trumps good policymaking. “She left in complete and utter frustration. When she said that, it struck me that we have to try it a different way,” King, formerly a Democrat, said in debate Monday night.
from preceding page the cylinders with oil and was able to manually turn the engine over, which he says indicates that it is still capable of running. Fay said there was no sign of the boat that the engine once powered. When restored it will join the nine other McDuff engines that are kept in the showroom of Fay’s Boat Yard sales office on Rte. 11, along with dozens of other early marine engines. But it is the McDuff engines which are the pride and joy of Jeff Fay’s collection. Growing up around boats and marine engines, Fay, who is the third generation of his family to run Fay’s Boat Yard, has always been fascinated by the McDuff engines and started collecting them around 20 years ago. He said that his dad, Merrill, encouraged him in his collecting and shared much of the family’s historical ties to McDuff with him. “When McDuff was building the engines my grandfather, Wilbur Fay, worked as an apprentice for him. He used to come down from North Street, where he lived, and hang around there, pick up his tools and learn about the engines,’’ said Fay, who has written a short history of McDuff and his manufacturing company for the Old Marine Engine website. Fay said that McDuff was 32 years old when her purchased the block of land at 83 Gold Street from Edwin L. Cram on August 3, 1902 and founded the McDuff Machine Company, and started producing his unique engines. His shop was located next door to Johnson Boat Builders, which turned
out graceful Johnson Lakers, 22 to 28 feet long and only four or five feet wide, which were powered with McDuff Motors. Fay says that many of the surviving Lakers still have the brass intake screens attached to the hulls, although most have been repowered over the years. McDuff’s water-cooled two-cycle engines ranged in size from single cylinder five horsepower models, like one known as the “Bumble Bee” because of its black color and brass fittings, up to four-cylinder 70 horsepower, capable of powering large launches and speed boats. They were used in a variety of ways other than powering boats, including as stationary motors on farms, in sawmills and in ice houses to power winches and other machinery. He says that McDuff was a mechanical genius and inventor whose legacy should be better known than it is, pointing to a unique reversing propeller, known as ‘’The McDuff Reversing Wheel’’, which could be controlled by the boat operator from inside the boat. There was no transmission and a lever was used instead to change the pitch of the propeller to select several forward speeds, as well as a neutral and reverse. “’When you think of all that it takes to make an engine, from casting it, then machining it and then making it run, you’ll appreciate what McDuff was able to do,’’ says Fay, noting that McDuff also invented a mechanical ‘’come-a-long’’ device which could be used with chains which were pulled a link at a time through it.

LHS Class of 1952 holds 60th anniversary celebration LACONIA — Combining a fun-filled 60th reunion with a successful fundraiser, members of the Laconia High School Class of 1952 presented another generous donation to the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation to increase their class scholarship endowment fund. This fund was established ten years ago, in conjunction with their 50th anniversary celebration, as a tangible expression of their appreciation for the quality of their education, for
the dedicated instructors, and for the friendship of fellow students. Since 2002, the Laconia High School Class of 1952 Scholarship Fund has grown through subsequent anniversary fundraisers, donations from the Ladies Luncheon group, and memorial offerings. By “paying forward” to future generations of college-bound students, the Class of ’52 has carried the spirit of gratitude and sense of community to a higher level.
MOULTONBOROUGH — The Board of Selectmen praised the participants in the town’s program to beatify prominent public locations by having them adopted by local businesses and individuals, at their meeting on Sept. 6. During the fifth year of the program, eight businesses or service clubs and two families adopted 10 spots throughout the community, ranging from the Town entry sign at Center Harbor to the larger scale Sutherland Park. All participants were given certificates of appreciation. In addition to the certificates, the top three spots were given special plaques of recognition, after a judging by local gardeners. First Place went
to Miracle Farms for the entry sign at the Center Harbor Town line; Second Place went to Miracle Farms Landscaping for their work at the Public Safety Building, and Third Place went to Donnybrook Services for their work at the Community Center (Recreation-pole area). Other participants included Karen and James Nigzus and Family at Playground Drive, Dion’s Plant Place at the North Parking Island of Town Hall, the Moultonborough Women’s Club at the South Parking Island of Town Hall, Pine Ridge Lawn & Landscape for the front of Town Hall, Moultonboro see SPOTS page 27

ASHLAND — James E. Lindroth, 59, of Carr Ave, died suddenly on Sunday, Sept.16, 2012 at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital, in Lebanon. Born in New Britain, CT on May 31, 1953, he was the son of the late Norman and Dorothy (Goodrich) Lindroth. He grew up in Newington, CT, and attended Newington Schools. He moved to NH for 7 years, returning to CT for a period of time where he resided in Andover. In 2009, he moved to Ashland to be with his soul mate. Jim was a talented craftsman who first worked in prosthetics and later was employed as a mechanic for printing equipment. Jim was also an active member of the CT Yankee Coca-Cola Collectors Club.
Jim is predeceased by his two brothers, Robert and Thomas Lindroth.

Race-y humor at Bucky Lewis performance tonight LACONIA – Laconia native and funny man Bucky Lewis performs hid one-man comedy show tonight at The Margate where he answers the question: “Why aren’t there any New Hampshire drivers in NASCAR?”. “Well, first of all” Lewis says, “we’ve been misspelling it for all these years as NASCAH, and I have a few other theories also. The Southern drivers’ ancestors were driving fast on the back roads to get away from revenuers, while our ancestors were driving the back roads slowly so they could see the deer’s eyes clearly before they shot”. These theories, as well as many songs and stories from parking to peeling out will be shared by Lewis with the audience tonight at Blackstone’s Showroom in the Margate Resort, 76 Lake St. Laconia NH. “There used to be a lit racetrack that had races every weekend located at the end of the airport. My
father and my uncle had a stock car together there, so I grew up around the passion of racing” Bucky Lewis goes on: “Not to mention the importance of having a car in the seventies. Having a ride meant getting a date and bringing her to the Weirs DriveIn Theater, where lots of times the movie was secondary”. “My characters really come alive when I come back to this area. After all, I was born and grew up in Laconia and Lakeport, so lots of my very funny material is actually about ‘bein’ from around here’”. Tickets may be purchased on location at the door and by calling the Margate at: 603-524-5210. Tickets are $15 per person, and doors open at 7 p.m. They can also bepurchased online at: themargate. com/comedy.html . To find out more about Bucky Lewis visit buckylewis.com.

PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Plymouth State University will showcase student-written one-act plays September 27-29 in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts. The productions are: “Tickling the Ivories” by Anna Smith of Manchester, a senior theatre arts major with options in dramatic writing and acting. The play takes place in the 1920s, when Russian pianist Sergei Kozlov becomes mistakenly but perilously mixed up with the mafia in New York City because of a language barrier. Kozlov quickly learns that living in America is not as easy as he thought it would be. “The Angry Tomato” by Abbie Morin’12, a theatre arts graduate from Laconia. Morin says the play depicts a young couple that moves into their first apartment together in celebration of a budding relationship. But as the months pass they are soon faced with the struggles of diverging paths and different dreams. As Eli and Liv try to hold on to one another, they discover that love, with all of its exhilarating triumphs, vivid memories and excruciating blows, is
truly a gray area. “The Devil’s Spit” by senior theatre arts major Luke Meierdiercks, from St. Johnsbury, Vt. In The Devil’s Spit, a lone man travels on the road of his life. Facing many challenges and challengers, Hugo must decide where his priorities lie. Combining fantasy and reality, the play follows Hugo’s journey through a metaphoric world. Tickets for the Playwrights’ showcase are $8 for adults and $6 for seniors and youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

Irwin Marine donates to Lakes Region Community College through ‘Scraps for Scholarships’ program Irwin Marine Vice President/ Chief Financial Officer, John Irwin (Laconia-center right), presents a $600 scholarship donation to Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) President, Dr. Scott Kalicki (far right). On the left is LRCC Marine Technology Professor, Jake Marsh, far left, of Belmont and Irwin Marine Technician, Kevin Foley, center left, of Belmont, both LRCC Marine Technology graduates, 2001, and 2010, respectively. “Irwin Marine Service Manager, Jason Marceau, a member of LRCC’s Marine Advisory Board, came up with the idea of ‘Scraps for Scholarships,’ a program where marine dealers take unwanted scrap metal and cash it in at local recycling facilities,” says Professor Marsh. “Our hope is to get more dealers on board with ‘Scraps for Scholarships.’” The donations are used to fund the Sam Baker Memorial Scholarship which is awarded annually to a deserving and committed Marine Technology student to purchase tools for the trade, transportation, books, and materials.

Annie Kuster to speak at meeting of Plymouth Area Democrats on September 26 PLYMOUTH — Ann McLane Kuster, the Democratic nominee for election in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, will address the September meeting of the Plymouth Area Democrats on Wednesday, September 26 at the Plymouth Regional Senior Center. The public is invited to attend. Kuster will be speaking at 7 p.m. and will take questions from the audience. An attorney specializing in adoption and family law, Kuster has long been a leading voice in the areas of health care, education and family services in New Hampshire.

This planning group, which consists of LRS director Karen Jordan and LRS members Mary Albert, Kelly Cleveland, Charlotte Cox, Lorraine Gebhardt, Paul Stickney, Betty Welch, and Rachel Young, met to discuss ways to increase the number of performances, options for sponsorship and ads for the program, and the issue of ticket prices versus donations at the door. Jordan said, “We have been so pleased with the growth of our overall membership – including the creation of our Youth Chorus, as well as the record size of our recent audiences – that it seems natural to talk about possibilities for expanding our outreach. But always, as we move ahead, I will depend on our see SINGERS page 27

McKinney will present a single performance at Plymouth State University, September 29 at 8:30 p.m. in the Hanaway Theatre at the Silver Center. After a stint in law enforcement, including a few years of doing stand up in Boston while commuting to Maine for his part-time patrol job, McKinney made the big leap to New York and soon found himself on “The Tonight Show,” “The Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Next Generation” and specials on “Comedy Central”. While living in NYC he worked his way into the weekend lineup at Comic Strip Live, Stand-up New York, Dangerfield’s, Gotham and Caroline’s on Broadway. He has had sitcom development deals with Warner Brothers, CBS Productions and Comedy Central. His one-hour special, “Juston McKinney—A Middle-Class Hole,” was released by Warner Bros. on DVD/CD.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES
by Paul Gilligan
by Darby Conley
Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis word gets out. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Wholesome aspirations hang low in the air inviting you to grab on, but so do a few other less than wholesome temptations. As the shorthand version of St. Augustine’s prayer goes: “Oh, God, please make me a saint, but not yet.” SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as nutritional needs are different from person to person, so are other kinds of needs. It takes emotional maturity not to impose your own requirements on others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to be able to help everyone, and yet if you were to try, then the people who most need your attention wouldn’t get very much of it. Focus on your inner circle today. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s not so strange that other people read your responses before you even realize you are responding. You are unselfconscious today, and you’ll give your unguarded self. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The universe seems to test your ability to keep your cool, but only because it’s preparing you for something bigger, something that will require the utmost patience. To the patient go the spoils. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 21). Over the next five weeks, a healing power soothes your sensitive soul. In November, you’ll be ready to play a bigger game professionally, and this affects lifestyle choices, too. The chance to commit yourself contractually comes in January. March amplifies your passion, and you’ll race to a finish line in May. Leo and Capricorn people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 1, 3, 24 and 19.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You don’t need to branch out to strangers now. Shake down your current circle of friends first, and get personal recommendations. Also, your friends will recommend you to others and speak of you in the highest esteem. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Problems spin in your head for a reason: so that you can experience them from all angles. Your subconscious process is magnificent, and there’s no reason why you should try to make it conscious at this point. Trust. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There will be very few instances in which it will be appropriate to share your opinions -e.g., not in someone else’s house, nor in general assembly. Share only when asked sincerely and in private. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Even the most adamant rules followers will thrill to the reckless way you abandon certain constraints. You act as if you don’t care what anyone thinks, and for key moments, this will be true. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can talk about your experiences and gain insights from others, but when all is said and done, you learn best from experiencing life first-hand. There’s really no substitute. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be made more aware of what brings you down and also of what brings you up. An air sign (Gemini, Libra or Aquarius) will live up to the reputation, bringing lighter spirits. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Each person you meet is a world connected to the world of other people on an endless chain. You’ll consciously work to keep your reputation in line with who you really are, knowing how quickly

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, September 21, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Sept. 21, the 265th day of 2012. There are 101 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 21, 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly performed his so-called “Chinese Water Torture Cell” trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin, escaping after being immersed upside-down in a vertical water tank, his ankles secured in a set of stocks which made up the tank lid, which was locked into place. On this date: In 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy. In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass., by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles. In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial, written anonymously by Francis P. Church, which declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.” In 1937, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. of London. In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives. In 1948, Milton Berle made his debut as permanent host of “The Texaco Star Theater” on NBC-TV. In 1962, “The Jack Paar Program,” a weekly, prime-time show that followed Paar’s stint on “The Tonight Show,” began a three-year run. In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout ever. In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.) In 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, S.C. (the storm was blamed for 26 directlycaused U.S. deaths). Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, involved in a collision with a soft-drink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit. One year ago: Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer, two Americans jailed in Iran as spies, left Tehran for the Gulf state of Oman, closing a high-profile drama that brought more than two years of hope and heartbreak for their families. Today’s Birthdays: Actor Larry Hagman is 81. Poet-songwriter Leonard Cohen is 78. Authorcomedian Fannie Flagg is 71. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer is 69. Musician Don Felder is 65. Author Stephen King is 65. Actor-comedian Bill Murray is 62. HActor-comedian Dave Coulier is 53. Actor David James Elliott is 52. Actress Serena Scott-Thomas is 51. Actress Nancy Travis is 51. Actor Rob Morrow is 50. Actress Cheryl Hines is 47. Country singer Faith Hill is 45. Rock musician Tyler Stewart is 45. Country singer Ronna Reeves is 44. Actress-talk show host Ricki Lake is 44. Actor Rob Benedict is 42. Actor James Lesure is 41. Actor Alfonso Ribeiro is 41. Actor Luke Wilson is 41. Actor Paulo Costanzo is 34. Actress Autumn Reeser is 32. TV personality Nicole Richie is 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My wife, my granddaughter and I recently took a six-hour flight home. I thought we’d have the middle section to ourselves, but when we boarded, I noticed there were four seats. As I put our carry-on luggage into the overhead bin, I saw my wife plop herself next to a male passenger. Whenever I fly with my wife, she always says she needs to sleep and doesn’t want to talk. But on this flight, she started a conversation with this man and never once looked in my direction. When snacks were served, my wife handed one to the guy, but paid no attention to our granddaughter or me. Then, when I pulled out the breakfast sandwiches I had purchased earlier, she gave hers to the male passenger. I was furious. She chatted with this guy for the entire flight. The only time she spoke to me was when she needed me to move in order to use the restroom. When we got home, I questioned her about this. She didn’t like my attitude and said that next time she’d sit next to a stranger on the plane instead of me. She even admitted that she knew I was angry during the flight. But she never answered my original question, which is why she was so eager to converse with this fellow when she always tells me she prefers to sleep on long flights. I think she was enjoying flirting. What should I do? I need some peace of mind. -- Mahalo in Hawaii Dear Hawaii: Even if your wife was flirting with this guy, please don’t turn it into such a big deal. It’s not like they exchanged phone numbers. She may have been equally talkative with a female passenger. And for all you know, the guy found her annoying and hoped she’d be quiet so he could get some rest. It was rude for her to ignore you and focus her attention elsewhere, especially knowing that it upset you. But your reaction is only fueling the fire. Unless she makes a habit of flirting with other men, let it go.
Dear Annie: I am a 16-year-old girl. There are some guys I’d like to disassociate from. These guys say sexual comments that make me uncomfortable. They have even run by and grabbed me. They don’t do this when my boyfriend is around. He’s had a few choice words with them, but they refuse to back off. I cannot avoid them, because we live in the same town and I see them at horse sales and truck pulls. I have deleted and blocked them from Facebook, but every time I log on, I see a notification saying they have accepted my friend request when I never sent one. These guys scare me. I have known these guys for four years, and it was never like this until recently. I have started being rude to them and ignoring them if they talk to me. I’m normally a friendly person, and I don’t like behaving this way, but I can’t take it anymore. -- Stressed in N.C. Dear Stressed: These young men are harassing and bullying you. If you are scared, it’s time to take action. Inform your parents and the school of the harassment. Then consider taking out a restraining order. They need to know you mean business. Dear Annie: “Exiled” said she lives out of state, but when she visits her folks, they always have other plans. My sister may have felt the same way. We would plan to do things with our parents, and she would call or just show up saying she wanted to come, too. Of course, we would try to accommodate her, but she also expected us to pay. I’d suggest that “Exiled” make the effort to arrange an occasional family outing. She should also make sure she is dressed appropriately. Family members get tired of making excuses for someone who is dressed sloppily and, at the end of the night, doesn’t have the money to pay her share. -- Harrods Creek, Ky.
