LACONIA — Planning Director Shanna Saunders said yesterday that her department has no intention of strictly enforcing zoning ordinances that taken literally would restrict residents from planting flower gardens and tilling vegetable patches in most parts of the city. Saunders said that since an article appeared in The Daily Sun on Wednesday highlighting the nonsensical wording of the ordinance, residents have called her office asking if they can plan on planting a garden next spring. The ordinance, Saunders determined, was written in 2000 when much of the zoning ordinance was revised. But, the flaw was only discovered earlier this month, when the ZBA considered a request for a variance from a resident of Bay Street seeking to keep chickens. The board found that the definition of “agriculture” permits raising and keeping “plants and animals useful to man” — for either commercial see VEGGIEs page 14

Neighborhood residents said the city Water Department opened the hydrant on the street without anyone first removing the leaves left behind in the recent storm from the storm drain, causing the water to released to back up. Ashley, who was home from school, with the permission of her mother, said she wants to be a police officer when she grows up. As to her civicminded daughter, her mother Debbie said, “She is a great kid, but it now it looks like I’m going to have to do another load of laundry.” (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

Man jumps off Bronx Zoo monorail & is mauled by tiger
NEW YORK (AP) — A visitor to the Bronx Zoo leaped from an elevated monorail train on Friday, plummeted over a fence into an exhibit and was mauled by a tiger, police and zoo officials said. The man was alone with the 400-pound beast for about 10 minutes before being rescued, zoo officials said. He suffered bites and punctures on his arms, legs, shoulders and back and broke an arm and a leg. The attack happened at around 3 p.m. in the Wild Asia exhibit, where a train with open sides takes visitors over the Bronx River and through a forest, where they glide along the top edge of a fence, past elephants, deer and a tiger enclosure. Passengers aren’t strapped in on the ride, and the 25-year-old man apparently jumped out of his train car, with a leap powerful enough to clear the perimeter fence. The man was see TIGER page

Pakistan hit by deadly riots in wake of anti-Muslim film ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s “Day of Love for the Prophet” turned into a deadly day of gunfire, tear gas and arson. Thousands angered by an anti-Muslim film ignored pleas for peaceful rallies and rampaged in several Pakistani cities Friday in battles with police that killed 19 people and touched off criticism of a government decision to declare a national holiday to proclaim devotion for the Prophet Muhammad. The film, which was produced in the
United States and denigrates the prophet, has outraged many in the Muslim world in the 10 days since it attracted attention on the Internet, and there were new, mostly peaceful protest marches in a half-dozen countries from Asia to the Middle East. But it is Pakistan that has seen the most sustained violence, driven by a deep well of anti-American sentiment and a strong cadre of hard-line Islamists who benefit from stoking anger at the U.S. At 49 people — including the U.S. ambassador to Libya
— have died in violence linked to the film around the world. Analysts accused the Pakistani government of pandering to these extremists by declaring Friday to be an official holiday — calling it a “Day of Love for the Prophet.” Officials urged peaceful protests, but critics said the move helped unleash the worst violence yet caused by the film, titled “Innocence of Muslims.” In addition to those killed, nearly 200 see PAKISTAN page 12
Romneys paid $1.94M in federal taxes in 2011 — 14.1% of income WASHINGTON (AP) — Mitt Romney, one of the wealthiest candidates ever to seek the presidency, paid nearly $2 million in federal taxes on $13.7 million in income that he and his wife reported last year, his U.S. returns showed Friday. That came to an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent, lower than millions of middle-income Americans but actually more than he had to pay. Most of Romney’s income was from
investment returns. That is why his rate was lower than taxpayers whose income was mostly from wages, which can be taxed at higher rates. Romney’s taxes have emerged as a key issue during the 2012 presidential race with President Barack Obama. Romney released his 2010 returns in January, but he continues to decline to disclose returns from previous years — including those
while he worked at Bain Capital, the private equity firm he co-founded. The Obama campaign and other Democrats have pushed for fuller disclosures, reminding the Republican candidate that his father, George Romney, released a dozen years of returns when he ran for president. Overall, the Romneys’ main tax return see ROMNEY page 11
CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire attorney general’s office says the state and two advocacy groups have failed to reach a settlement in a case challenging a new law that blocks out-of-state students from voting unless they establish legal residency in the state. A superior court judge set a deadline of
Friday for the state and the New Hampshire chapters of the League of Women Voters and the American Civil Liberties Union to reach a compromise. Assistant Attorney General Richard Head says settling constitutional challenges is no easy task. He says the office will await the court’s ruling.
Representatives of the advocacy groups did not immediately return calls seeking comment. The law — which passed over Gov. John Lynch’s veto — would require those registering to declare New Hampshire their legal domicile.

United Way’s Day of Caring very personal for 1 Lakes Region businessman who recalls what it was like to be homeless & struggling By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Among the volunteers taking part in the Lakes Region United Way’s 17th annual Day of Caring Friday was Kamal Gosine of Franklin, who was directing a group of workers from AutoServ in Tilton who were doing landscaping work at the Salvation Army’s Carey House homeless shelter on Union Avenue. For Gosine, 45, who grew up on the island nation of Trinidad, working at the homeless shelter has a special significance as he can still remember being briefly homeless himself shortly after he arrived in the United States. But he now is living the American dream with an MBA degree from Franklin Pierce College, a good job in sales and customer relations at AutoServ and within a few years will have completely paid off his home loan. He’s also a noted tennis player, having won many regional tournaments. He still remembers working out an agreement with New Hampshire Technical Institute which allowed him to pay $50 a week for his tuition while working full-time and attending classes where he earned an associate’s degree in marketing in the see next page

Gilford recount affirms verdict on new fire truck
GILFORD — A recount of votes coast on September 11 yesterday confirmed the warrant article calling for the lease/pruchase of a $441,820 fire truck failed to attract the 60-percent majority vote needed for passage under N.H. law. The final vote was recorded as 1,098 in favor and 743 against, a 59.4-percent majority. Fire Engineer Don Spear and Budget Committee member Sue Greene represented the ayes and nays and neither voiced any concerns about rulings made by Moderator Sandra McGonagle regarding the 15 ballots she determined were not exactly clear.
from preceding page early 1990s. ‘’That was the kind of help I needed at that time and I’m very fortunate for what’s happened to me. I’m glad to now be able to help other people out,’’ says Gosine, who last year also worked at the Carey House on the Day of Caring and brought his own power saw to help with cutting back overgrown shrubs. This year the decision was made to completely remove the last remnant of the old shrubs and replace them with new plantings but Gosine had trouble with the saw, whose chain became dulled rapidly as he attempted to cut the tree roots, and then later with a loose chain. The shrubs were finally taken down when Paul Gaudet Jr., another member of the Carey House work crew, brought his chainsaw to the site. Workers trimmed hedges and brought in a load of mulch to help protect the newly planted shrubs and cover the ground underneath other plantings. He said that while working at the Carey House last year he met a homeless young woman with a six-month old child and was so moved by her plight that he told his family about her situation. His then 13-year-old son Alex was so troubled by it that he voluntarily gave up two of his Christmas presents and he and his wife, Trudi, put their heads together to find other ways to help her. Gosine said that he talked with his bosses, Carolyn and Dennis Gaudet, and that they agreed to help, as did other workers at AutoServ and gifts and money was raised so that they were able to provide her with a big bag of food, along with a six month supply of baby formula as well as pay her weekly fee at the shelter. He said that AutoServ employees who contributed to the fund for the young woman were allowed to wear jeans rather than dress pants to work. At Christmas time a tree was purchased for the young woman, along with Christmas lights, so that she could have the experience of a meaningful Christmas. Gosine said that he was pleased to find out several months ago that the young woman was able to leave the shelter after landing a job at Lakes Region General Hospital, where she is now taking courses in the health care field and is receiving tuition reimbursements. ‘’This shelter is so wonderful. I wish every town had a homeless shelter like this so that it can help people get back on their feet,’’ says Gosine. ‘’I grew up in a Third World country and I know what poverty is like. I have seen it first hand and I know the importance of helping others and making a difference in their lives. I feel blessed that I’m able to do that,’’ says Gosine, who still sends money every month to his mother in Trinidad to help support her. The United Way’s Day of Caring dates back to 1996, when some 35 volunteers took part. On Friday more than 200 people turned out perform work at some 23 area non-profit agencies that receive funding from United Way.

Zookeepers then called the tiger into a holding area.

Obama’s first term like Roosevelt’s dismal second People, not least himself, have often compared Barack Obama to Franklin D. Roosevelt. You know the narrative. He came to office in a financial crisis and proceeded to take government action to revive the economy and expand government to help the little guy. That narrative was developed by great New Deal historians like Arthur Schlesinger Jr. and has been an article of faith among liberal Democrats ever since. Expand government, and the people will love you. Except that it hasn’t worked out exactly that way. Most Americans don’t much love the stimulus package or ObamaCare. That’s why you didn’t hear much about them at the Democratic National Convention. The economy has not responded as Obama’s economists predicted, to say the least. Job growth has been sluggish, investment even more so, and inflation may be starting to rear its ugly head. Obama’s term does resemble Roosevelt’s — but his second term in office, not the first. If you look at the unemployment numbers for FDR’s first term, you can see why his party (unlike Obama’s Democrats) gained seats in the off-year election and why the president was resoundingly re-elected in 1936. The unemployment percentages for successive years, rounded off, were 25 percent, 22 percent, 20 percent, 17 percent. Awfully high, but steady and heartening progress. The numbers for the second Roosevelt term were not so nice. Rounded off they were 14 percent, 19 percent, 17 percent, 15 percent — higher at the end than after the first year, with a spike in between. More like Obama’s numbers than like the first Roosevelt term. The second Roosevelt term was so dismal that many New Deal historians glossed over it or avoided it altogether. Schlesinger’s first three volumes of “The Age of Roosevelt” were bestsellers. The third, running up to the 1936 election, was published in 1960. Schlesinger lived another 47 years, active to the end. In that time, he wrote numerous books and probably millions of words of beautiful prose. But he never got around to Roosevelt’s second term. The reason, I suspect, is that he found the subject depressing, at least up until 1940, when Roosevelt rallied to aid Winston Churchill’s Britain at a time of world crisis. Why did Roosevelt’s second term turn out so poorly? Basically, because his policies were so unpopular. His 1935 labor act led to violent sitdown strikes in auto, steel
and rubber factories, in which union victories were resented by the wider public. His high tax rates on high earners — the great white whale of the Ahab-like Obama — plus something called the excess profits tax and the threat of onerous new regulation discouraged business investment, leading to what some called a capital strike. In that setting many liberals, as historian Alan Brinkley writes, “reached the pessimistic conclusion that stagnation had become the normal condition of modern industrial economies.” Sounds like Bill Clinton’s argument: No one could do better. Republicans gained 80 House seats in the 1938 off-year elections. A conservative coalition of Republicans and Southern Democrats dominated Congress for most of the next 20 years. Polling in the run-up to the 1940 election showed Roosevelt and the Democratic Party in nothing like the dominant position they held in his first term. Gallup polls showed that most voters wanted a Republican as the next president. Of course, we know that Roosevelt won a third term and then a fourth after that. The New Deal historians have taken that as evidence that Americans loved his big government policies. But Roosevelt won in 1940 and 1944 on foreign affairs and as a war leader. The outbreak of World War II in September 1939 overshadowed economic complaints. In June 1940, Hitler overran France. With his then-ally Josef Stalin, he threatened to take over most of the landmass of Eurasia. We were as close as the world has ever gotten to George Orwell’s “1984.” That crisis gave Roosevelt an enormous electoral advantage. Republicans’ presidential hopefuls had no foreign policy credentials. Thomas Dewey was a 38-year-old district attorney, Robert Taft a second-year senator, Wendell Willkie — the surprise nominee — a utilities executive. Democratic alternatives to Roosevelt were just as weak: a salty Texas vice president, a former campaign manager, an outgoing governor of Indiana. Roosevelt finagled his renomination in July 1940 and won a decisive victory in November. Roosevelt and his party were rescued from his second term record by a world crisis. It’s not clear what will rescue Obama’s candidacy.

LETTERS Every Obama policy is going to be seen as divisive by conservatives To the editor, In response to Mr. Boutin’s letter criticizing President Obama and his “divide America agenda”, I would like to submit to Boutin that the divide in this country began with the establishment of political parties and has degenerated into the present day. Political parties believe what they want and spew hate towards any side that holds a differing opinion instead of actually accepting the fact that individuals beliefs of each and every person can coexist with the other. They demonize each other, and political victories are seen as an opportunity, not to work together to get something done, but rather to advance their own naked agenda. In his recent letter, Boutin would have us believe that the current administration is totally responsible for the division in our country today. The fact is, that any policy by Obama is going to be seen by conservatives as being divisive because it’s not their policy and doesn’t fit their political agenda. Why would an incumbent president intentionally alienate the electorate? While Republicans have everything to gain by portraying Obama as being divisive. Division of the people is intentional and has been the most successful ploy used by those seeking power. Boutin’s letter only contributes to the divide. As Obama stood on the steps of the capital and took the oath of office, Republicans made destroying him politically their number one priority. The conservative Republican icon, Rush Limbaugh, threw down the gauntlet and declared, “I hope Obama fails.” When Boutin writes about Obama pitting “union interests against non-union interests” he must have overlooked the national Republican platform that encourages and supports “right to work” and calls for numerous steps that could significantly weaken America’s labor unions. With this in mind, I’m sure Boutin would agree that the Republican Party is equally responsible for this divide between union and non-union. As to Boutin’s accusations that women are pitted against men, I think it would be fairer to say that women
Party platform. Republicans have made it clear that they consider it their duty to reject the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe v. Wade. Many women feel they should be in control of their own health care decisions and that it is their right to make these choices on issues related to birth control without government intervention. These women feel that the hostility toward them in the GOP today is a result of the religious right gaining power in the party and the push by the GOP to re-criminalize abortion. Additionally, women are concerned over the fact that Mitt Romney has made it clear that he plans to get rid of Planned Parenthood. Republicans have only themselves to blame for alienating women on these matters of contention. Other topics of interest that may be weighing on women’s minds are “legitimate rape”; a good example of why politicians should not make health care decisions for them. And let us not forget Rush Limbaugh, the standardbearer for conservatives, who verbally attacked Sandra Fluke, calling her a “slut” and a “prostitute” after she advocated for women’s health care and greater access to contraception while speaking before a congressional panel on women’s concerns. In recent revelations, it has been learned that Romney, stating that, “Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax”, will, “Not worry about those people.” No matter what political spin you put on this comment, most people would definitely find it divisive. Romney and the Republican Party have in essence written off half of the American public. I sincerely hope that Boutin’s comments that women “are softies for Obama”, that they are “more open to accepting his massive economic incompetence than men”, and that they are being played “like a violin”, are not indicative of all conservative thought. This type of rhetoric intimates that women are not intelligent or wise enough to make competent decisions as to the issues important to them, and which candidate best represents their interests. L.

LETTERS Mainstream media is not reporting ‘news’; it’s false advertising
Downfall of those who oppose same-sex marriage is striking
To the editor, I was appalled when I saw the news of the video showing Mitt Romney’s fundraising speech. Not in the context of the speech, but in the fact that, again in an ongoing process, the main stream press has purposely dug up old information to use in furthering their agenda. It is so blatantly apparent that they have a political agenda by what they show, when they show it, how often they show it, their comments on what they show and their omissions in showing similar information about the “other” side. Anyone with half a brain and the desire to learn the whole story through research will know that the main stream press has a far-left, Democrat agenda. It was very obvious if you were among the few who watched both presidential conventions on a major network. In listening to the reporters after the speeches you would think that the job of the press was to fact-check everything that the Republicans said looking for the slightest miss statement, yet nothing was said at all of the Democrat speakers statements. A bit of fact checking on my own revealed that the press would have had a field day with miss statements and facts on the Democrat side if they were in truth reporting in a fair manner. Now the “news” is a profit center for any company that produces it and therefore anyone watching the mainstream news is a consumer. I recognize three types of consumers of this “news”. One type are the people who agree with the agenda being pushed, know that one sided reporting exist and think that it is great to have such a powerful propaganda tool on their side. Especially as a source to quote as published “facts” and therefore must be true. The next are the people who disagree with the agenda of the mainstream press and know the tactics,
To the editor, Some day I hope that a Christian will write a researched letter instead of one off the cuff which is a copy of some intellectually useless rigft wing puppet. L. Dickson claims he has some thoughts for me. Does he think I haven’t heard that same errant thoughts a guzillion times? I have heard it ALL! It’s my “hobby” to factcheck and destroy right wing claims. Its the no BS Zone in this life. Firstly, Dickson wants to criticize polls that claim same sex martiage has the majority support. He doesnt like those “tiny” polls. Statistis is now a proven mathamatical science. The larger the poll the smaller the margin of error; the smaller the poll the, the larger margin of error. I cited several reputable polls which probably used 1000 to 2000 participants which usually means 4% to 2% margins. In any case, with the margins, the majority still supports anti-Bible, anti-Quran beliefs (same exact beliefs). So how about we add up all the participants in the polls. I can find 10 goods ones. So here we have 10,000 people whose majority side with marriage equality. With that amount of people, the margin of error drops considerable. Now as to your Bible Belt notion about their beliefs. Who cares what a a bunch a Bible Banging sexists, racists, anti-gay bigots, and “die without insurance” idiots think? The South is a lost cause when it comes to education. Just secede and go away American Somalia! The Bible Belt has the highest murder, divorce, gun deaths, syphilis, HIV and STD, obesity, infant mortality, young adult mortality, and high school dropout rates. What right wing Christian Neanderthals think isn’t called critical thinking because instead of looking stuff up, they make stuff up. Back to polls. Different polls have
miss information and omitted information. These people know enough to question what is being reported and commented on and are trying to get the last group to understand the rest of the facts. This last group is the people who have been duped into thinking that whatever the mainstream press puts out are the full facts and the truth and everything else is rhetoric. They are generally ignorant in their ability to see the truth about the mainstream press and their desire or ability to find either the rest of the facts or the truth. Now you might think that silencing the mainstream press is what I’m getting at in this letter, but it not. I think, under the First Amendment, that the mainstream press should and does have all the rights to do just as they are doing. They should, however, be sued in a major way for false advertisement. Just as the “natural health” industry has been successfully sued over the years for claims in healing certain ailments and in names that indicate being a medicine, the mainstream press should be sued when they call or portray themselves as “news”. If “news” is in their title or their product is portrayed in a news fashion they should be held to a standard of reporting just facts... all of them. If they make any comments on the facts, report or omit facts as part of an agenda or push an agenda in any manner, they should have to advertise, name and produce this as “commentary and opinion” which the real product is. The laws of truth-inadvertising exist to keep companies from deceiving consumers. In the case of the mainstream press, which is a consumer product, the illusion of reporting “news” has gone way beyond the definition of deceptive. Dave Nix Belmont
Isn’t Congress’s very power to tax a ‘redistribution of wealth’? To the editor, I’m wondering: money is valuable. We measure wealth by how much of it someone has. When money is paid to the government in the form of an income tax, it doesn’t cease to have value. The extent the value paid by individuals in taxes, is a percentage of money that’s earned, returned on investment, or results from a sale. The amount of taxes paid — whether 13.5-percent or 28-percent or more — constitutes a reduction in the wealth of the individual taxpayers who give it up. The government takes the tax money from individual citizens and corporations, and uses much of it to fund programs for other citizens who do not and, in many cases, cannot pay taxes. The government also uses tax money to provide subsidies for oil companies and farmers, bailouts for auto companies, big banks and insurance companies, and over 50 billion dollars in foreign aid to provide health care and food to non-citizens overseas
who otherwise couldn’t afford it. In America, wealth is taken by the government from the individuals who earned it, and given to others who didn’t.... whether they be people living in poverty, corporations worth billions, and even non-citizens. Beyond semantics, isn’t the process set forth in the Constitution by which Congress sets the amount, collects and then appropriates tax dollars as they deem proper, “re-distribution of wealth?” If I’m against this method of collecting and sharing tax money, would that mean I’m opposed to the provisions of the Constitution that raise money to provide for the “general Welfare of the United States?” (Article 1, Section 8, US Constitution). It seems to me, our politicians are carrying the debate on this beyond the point of absurdity. Hurry up; I’m ready to vote. Bruce Van Derven Bristol
different methodology. Most generally choose 1/3 Dems, 1/3 independants, and 1/3 Puglicans. Registered voters, likely voters, etc. So we get a snapshot of America, not a provincial way of thinking. With state polls, methodology also differs. Another way to show you just how wrong you are regarding polls is to look at the polls over the last few decades. Let me give some examples. The important thing is to see the trends. The first poll goes back 12 years; the second goes back 24 years. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes. com/2012/05/09/support-for-gay-marriage-outweighs-opposition-in-polls/ http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com/.a/6a00d83451c45669e201 3486298cc6970c-550wi The downfall of those who oppose same sex marriage is nothing less than striking In 1988, 73-percent opposed and 13-percent supported gay marriages. In 1996, the numbers were 68-percent against and 28-percent for. Of course, THOSE polls are accurate in the mind of a right wing jihadist Christian, right? Is it any wonder that over 50-percent now support gay marriage and over 40-percent don’t. Look at the charts and see the gay rights Tsunami that came just as desegregation and woman’s suffrage did (conservative opposed those, too!). Today’s youth is sick and tired of yesterday’s religion and discrimination. I am 62 and I am getting nauseous, too! My next letter will deal with Mr Dickson’s statements on air and radiation existing even though we can’t see them. It is clear that Mr. Dickson has not learned the methodology called the scientific method. Yup, one of mankind’s ideas to run from! James Veverka Tilton
I can’t understand the level of support that Obama still has To the editor, Another week starting and closing in on the election, so did any reader see the president’s speech at the convention. It was wonderful. He once again proved his mastery of the art. His plans and promises excited and inspired the assembled Democrats just as he had done in 2008. It’s kind of to bad because he broke most of those promises. Reminds me of the old saying: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I really wish he had kept some of those promises from ‘08, like cutting the national debt in half or by this time in his term having unemployment down to 5.6-percent. That would have been nice instead of the now over $16-trillion debt and 8.1-percent published unemployment (really 11.3-percent). And you know I’m not the only one critical of the president’s performance. A story on the front page of the N.Y. Times titled, The Completer In Chief, by Jodi Kantor finds considerable fault with Mr. Obama’s first three years. Among the things the writer says is that Obama vastly overrates his capabilities. He spend extraordinary amounts of time and energy to compete in trivialities and that he
that explains why most Americans regard his presidency as a failure. We’re not alone either, most of our traditional allies think so, too, though the lame-stream media doesn’t want to report on that. Mater of fact they have seldom a discouraging word to say about the man in spite of his massive failures, lies, divisive tactics, and broken promises. Speaking of allies the president didn’t have time to meet with Israel Prime Minister Netanyahu this week in spite of the killings, riots, burning and looting all over the Middle East. (I thought Obama promised peace and cooperation with Americas most hate-filled enemies)? Though now he may want to rethink his stated aim of reducing our military to levels approved by our middle eastern brothers. That’s what he said on Meet the Press back when running the first time you know. How safe does that idea sound readers? I still can’t understand the support he still has. Gas and oil prices are again climbing toward the $4 per gallon mark, food, clothing, rent and everything else will follow, taxes will be going up for everyone if he has his way so what’s up with this? I’ve said it see next page

Baby Boom demographics: How trend lines benefit Lakes Region Here are a few thoughts I was pondering over the other day that really make sense: 76 Million Americans were born between 1945 and 1964 who are nearing retirement age, according to Wikipedia. These “Baby Boomers” control 80-percent of the wealth and more than 50-percent of discretionary spending power. They have been referred to as “The single greatest demographic event in U.S. History” The Lakes Region is located within a 7-hour drive of 50+ million people. Our beautiful Lakes Region is within close proximity to a large chunk of the above demographic pool. What does this mean for the Lakes Region? “Boomers” are now clustering in scenic places, where they have often vacationed. They want to return to happy places where they experienced fond memories as children. Like birds that migrate to places of familiar origin, they want their kids and grandchildren to share the same experiences. The Lakes Region should expect migration from “Boomers” within this demographic trend. Do we see trends happening as a result? Yes, definitely. Northern New England has become a “Boomer” stronghold. Many immigrants and the younger generation have located to regions of the country where the job masses are located. Pre-retirement areas such as the Lakes Region of New Hampshire, the coastal towns of Maine/New Hampshire, and Cape Cod, are like magnets attracting “Boomers”. They are seeking a quieter, relaxed lifestyle, with recreational and cultural opportunities. What are some of the reasons “Boomers” will be attracted to the Lakes Region? Semi-retirees look for states that are more tax friendly. N.H. has one of the lowest tax burdens in the nation, with no state income tax, sales tax, or capital gains tax. These same individuals look for states that are safe to live and retire to. N.H. has the lowest crime rate in the country, according to FBI statistics. Many “Boomers” will continue working into their early retirement years, at least on a part-time basis. N.H.’s unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the country and presents a favorable environment for semi-retirees. “Boomers” are seeking areas of natural beauty. There is an abundance of lakes, scenic mountains, ski areas, golf courses, hiking trails, and quick access to ocean beaches along the NH and Maine coast. The Lakes Region provides all of the above with 273 lakes, ponds, and rivers to enjoy. N.H. was named the “most livable state in the nation” for the 6th straight year according to Morgan Quitno Corp. of Kansas.
This demographical generation is seeking cultural amenities as well. The region features Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion, N.H. Music Festival, Lakes Region Summer Theater, the N.H. International Speedway, Tanger tax-free factory outlets, fine restaurants, and close proximity to several universities. “Boomers” look for communities with excellent health care facilities. LRGHealthcare, Concord Hospital, and Dartmouth Hitchcock offer fine medical care. Expect migration of “Boomers” to the Lakes Region? Most definitely. All Lakes Region Realtors have seen a surge of interest from southern NH, MA, CT, RI, NY, NJ, PA, and FL. With 76-million Americans in the “Boomer” category the demographic migration to the Lakes Region will be substantial because it’s within a 7-hour drive of 50+ million people. Any Statistics supporting the “Boomers” attraction to the Lakes Region? Lake Winnipesaukee, N.H. was rated “the #1 retirement place in the country” under the category of “leisure living for recreational and cultural opportunities”, according to the 5th edition of Retirement Places Rated, by Macmillan Travel. This past year N.H. was picked the #1 state for retirement in the USA, according to Moneyrates. com. N.H. has the lowest poverty rate in the country and NH has the highest median income in the nation, according to statistics released by the US Census Bureau. N.H. is rated the best place in the nation to raise children by the National Kids Count Survey. Over 87-percent of the land in N.H. is covered by forests, making N.H. the second most forested state in the country. We’re in a good place right now. This is the first time in my career where many signs are pointing to N.H.’s Lakes Region because of pure demographics. Our prices in the region for existing inventory are very favorable and we have the lowest interest rates in 40 years to work with. We have an abundance of inventory in all categories including waterfront and island properties, beach access properties, condominium homes, residential properties, country homes and farms, recreational properties, gated planned communities, view properties, land, and commercial opportunities. We offer four seasons of recreation and we are at the foothills of 760,000 acres of national forests and the beautiful White Mountains. Our lake, pond, and river choices are numerous. Our scenic lakeside villages are quaint and second to none. There’s something for everyone. We can expect a continued growth and prosperity over the next 10 years as outlined in the trend lines above.

LETTERS Obama has cozied up to countries wanting to reduce our security To the editor, Claims that President Obama’s foreign policy is successful can only be explained by pure partisanship or by criteria putting the interests of others ahead of those of our country and our citizens. We credit President Obama for killing Osama and other al Qaeda leaders. Obama outlawed enhanced interrogations that led to Osama. The attack was delayed almost a year after Osama’s location was known. Obama prepared to blame someone else if the raid failed. Obama’s quick crowing about Osama’s death destroyed the value of the intelligence that the raid gathered. But, Osama is dead. Congratulations. And, President Obama successfully implemented the Bush plan for leaving Iraq. Congratulations. Isn’t killing innocents via drone and other strikes and the operation of Guantanamo creating more terrorists than they eliminate like Senator Obama, et al, said they did under Bush? In Afghanistan nearly twice as many U.S. soldiers have died in Obama’s 43 months as in Bush’s 86 months, but anti-war protesters, code pink, and media reports have mostly disappeared. While President Obama has announced a withdrawal date, we seem no closer to achieving a stable independent country that can defend itself. Has the “Arab Spring”, that President Obama so aggressively supported in countries with more pro-American governments, improved the stability and peacefulness of the Middle East or safety for Americans? No. The Muslim Brotherhood that the administration described as peaceful and secular has shown itself to be an anti-American radical group dedicated to Sharia, a Muslim Caliphate, oppression of non-Muslims, and the destruction of Israel. President Obama’s administration cannot tell us if Egypt is an ally or not. It was an ally before Obama supported the Arab Spring. Despite the approach of 9/11, the August 30th announcement of 9/11 protests at the American embassy, and the September 10 reports in Arab and US media of planned attacks on the embassy, the embassies were not
put on heightened security. In Egypt the guards weren’t given live ammunition and the Embassy was overrun by people chanting, “Obama, we are all Osamas”. People that Obama helped “liberate” Libya killed our ambassador and three other Americans, perhaps with weapons that Obama supplied them. Has President Obama delivered on his naïve, arrogant statement that “Muslim hostilities will cease the day I am inaugurated?” No. President Obama has no time for our strongest ally in the Middle East although Israel is facing the biggest threat ever to its existence, threats from a nuclear armed Iran. President Obama has affronted our most faithful ally, Great Britain, withdrawn anti-missile support from European allies, and made all our traditional allies, countries with which we share the most values, wonder about our country’s dedication to our historic alliances. On the other hand President Obama has cozied up to countries that want to reduce American security, prosperity, freedoms, and influence in the world. Would Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc., support us, if needed, to help protect our values, prosperity, and freedoms or would they take advantage of our weakness? What does it suggest to you when President Obama says, “Tell Vladimir (Putin) that I’ll have more flexibility after my re-election?” Why won’t President Obama say what he intends to do? President Obama would tell us if it was good for us. President Obama reads great speeches from a teleprompter, but his foreign policy is dangerous; it has strengthened our enemies, weakened our nation, and made the world a much more dangerous place for our country, our citizens, and our allies. Only if you want the American people to be poorer, less safe, and much less free can you consider President Obama’s foreign policy successful. And, President Obama’s promise to Vladimir means his policies will be even more damaging to Americans in a second term. Don Ewing Meredith
A special thanks to off-duty Gilford firefighter Ron Skinner To the editor, I want to thank all the Gilford Firefighters and EMTs who assisted me when I was in a serious automobile accident last Thursday morning on Rt 11-A. An uninsured motorist hit me doing 35-40mph while I was stopped at the lights. I want to send a special thank you to Ron Skinner, who is a Gilford Firefighter and who was off from preceding page before but it bears repeating. Obama is hurting the ordinary American, Republican, Democrat, independent whatever and will double down on the people he purports to be championing. Heat with oil, drive a car, well it’s going to get worse unless we hand the guy a pink slip? It’s up to you come Nov. 6th. Get out and give Obama the boot. Steve Earle
duty and just happened to the scene at the time of the accident. Ron went beyond the call of duty and made sure I was not seriously injured and kept me stabilized until the EMT’s arrived. In addition he made several phone calls for me to reach my daughter as my husband was at home recovering from hip replacement surgery and couldn’t be called. Ron made it a point to stay with me and assist the other firefighters until I was taken from the scene. It says a lot about the kind of men we having working for us daily who put their lives on the line every time they are called out. Thanks for all you do! Linda M.

Calling Rush hateful & divisive in a hateful & divisive diatribe To the editor, Dr. Thomas Dawson, today, September 19, presented us all with a masterpiece of liberal, elitist, literary lunacy wrapped in the most pungent, scintillating coating of condescension these pages have seen in quite some time. His piece begins in a reasonably cogent manner by reminding us that democracy is dependent on an educated and knowledgeable public blessed with a media that is truthful and complete. Gosh, I even agree with him that much of the “fourth estate” media has lost it’s way. That would be the essential fourth component of a democracy that he references. Then, as modern day liberal types often do, he attacks and demeans those who disagree with his political philosophy. He sang that familiar refrain that Fox News is not a real news network. He assures us that it is full of outright lies, distortions and misinformation. With his implied, superior intellect and objectively researched information, he lays claim that MSNBC, CNN, PBS, the NY Times and Newsweek are places where one should go for accurate and unbiased news reporting. But does this doctor of patronization stop there? Oh no! With the arrogance of Paris Hilton, he commands us, “Do not watch Fox News”. Why you ask? Well, according to, he who writes as though he knows better where we should obtain our information, it is because getting news from that source could
have consequences that are “very dangerous for our democracy”. My God, the man is Paul Revere with a pen! His letter is a self congratulatory diatribe of all that is wrong and hypocritical about liberal central planners. His letter is a prescient example of the paradoxical patrons of inclusion and diversity who reside in the land of modern day liberal progressives. At the end of his letter, Dr. Dawson mentions that Rush Limbaugh is hateful and divisive. It served as an exclamation point to his letter which was filled with hate and divisiveness. By inference,this man would seek to deprive the television airwaves of it’s only conservative voice. So much for free speech, inclusion and diversity. I might be tempted to excuse such elitist, know-it-all behavior, for perhaps they know not what they do. Except the progressive, socialist mind is seemingly hell bent on destroying this constitutional republic and will continue to limit free speech as they have already done on college campuses. Alexis de Tocqueville, a French man no less, knew of this destructive, socialist mindset over 150 years ago. How is it that most Democrats, liberals and progressives haven’t figured it out yet? As a good friend has reminded us time and time again, “if you are not concerned, you are not paying attention”. Russ Wiles Tilton

Thanks, but we have no plans to leave the United States To the editor, After reading Ms. Loesch’s letter for the fifth time, I asked myself ‘what the heck is she taking about? I am a veteran, member of the Tea Party, lived in Florida (over 21 years) and a proud member of the NRA; therefore I am qualified to address her points. My reply to Ms. Loesch’ points are: 1. In regard to your point of flaunting birth control, abortion and same sex marriage; the Democrats are appealing to single women to vote for the Democrat ticket. Same-sex marriage is an appeal to gays and people who believe that you should love and marry who you love. These issues were part of the Democratic platform. 2. In regard to your point of why Christian fundamentalists are advising people to vote against President Obama; there is a sharp divide between the social issues of the Democratic and Republican parties. 3. You asked ‘Why was the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party formed’? The TEA Party was formed as a political party to reduce government spending, the deficit, and taxes. It was not formed to protect gun laws. I am very familiar with the Florida gun law. I had a concealed weapon permit in Florida. It was very difficult to obtain. A 2010 study shows that states adopting “Stand Your Ground/ Castle laws reduced murder rates by 9-percent and overall violent crime by 11-percent. FYI, Illinois has some of
the toughest gun laws in the U.S., but Chicago has one of the highest murder rates and it is projected that over 500 homicides will occur in Chicago alone. 4. You asked whether I had reviewed my rights under the Constitution. Yes I have and the TEA Party strongly adheres to the U.S. Constitution. 5. You asked if I was willing to give up my rights to sue the government and/or a corporation? No, I am not. 6. You asked if I secretly wish that the draft be reinstated? No, I do not secretly wish for the draft to be reinstated and I do not understand how reinstating the draft levels the playing field. 7. You state that I have to move out of the country to pay reduced taxes and give up my perks/benefits. I disagree! The TEA Party is working hard to accomplish their goal (see #3 above). Social Security, Medicare and Affordable Care Act are mandates, why would I give up something I paid for. Please note that if you give up the Affordable Care Act; you will pay a tax. You do not have a choice. We pay Bestway to collect our trash, we have a well and a septic tank. In Florida, garbage collection is part of your taxes. I was totally unaware that garbage collection, city water and sewers were perks from the government. I hope I have answered your questions/concerns. We have no plans to leave the United States. God bless you. Jim Mayotte Sanborton

HOSMER from page one Despite being dogged by questions surrounding his finances and the ethics of his campaign, Youssef, also from Laconia, defeated his opponent Bill Grimm of Franklin in the September 11 primary by 316 votes. Fivethousand, two-hundred and ninety-six voters voted in the Republican primary in District 7 which included Laconia, Franklin, Belmont, Gilford, Northfield, Boscawen, Canterbury, Andover, Webster, and Salisbury. After the election, Youssef’s former wife’s attorney Ed Mosca filed an official complaint with the N.H. Office of the Attorney General alleging Youssef used dirty tricks by sending mailers with sticky notes to Franklin voters, some of which were signed “Ken”. Some voters said they interpreted the notes as an endorsement of Youssef by Mayor Ken Merrifield, who was a staunch Grimm supporter. Mosca also charged that Youssef created an online blog that closely mimicked the one he authors, expect the copy was made to look very favorable to Youssef, implying an endorsement. Leaders of the state GOP also asked Youssef to clarify and explain his actions, which he did by saying in his blog that more than one of his campaign workers signed the sticky notes with their own names. He also indirectly admitted creating the Moscalke blog but said he didn’t do anything illegal by doing so. On Wednesday, GOP Chair Wayne MacDonald and Senate Minority Leader Jeb Bradley said they were satisfied with his responses and happy that he was making steps toward being more transparent in his campaign. Questions have also been raised about whether or not Youssef owns back child support and if he still owes $50,000 in back taxes to the IRS. On his blog Youssef said he is “in good standing” with the IRS and that his child support increased in May
2012 from $700 a month to $1,270 a month and he has never missed a payment. He added that he often gives more than the mandated amount to in support of his 9-year-old son. The subject of Youssef’s child-support is being played out in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division where the court is trying to sort through whether or not Youssef is hiding income and assets from his ex-wife in order to avoid paying additional child support. As of yesterday, Judge Jim Carroll has not released any of his rulings. In addition, reporter Annemarie Timmons of the Concord Monitor his filed a motion with the court to unseal Youssef’s financial records. Youssef has objected and there is a hearing on that motion scheduled for October 18 in district court. “Josh Youssef has not sufficiently addressed these very serious allegations in a forthright and unambiguous manner,” Hosmer said. “The sooner Mr. Youssef resolves these allegations, the sooner voters can hear what his plans are for addressing New Hampshire’s economic and educational issues.” In his statement released to the press yesterday, Hosmer specifically referenced allegations that Youssef has under-reported his income to the court and added, “The courts have said that Youssef owes $17,000 in child support.” He also quoted a Concord Monitor editorial asking Youssef to clarity what he means when he says he is “in good standing” with the IRS. Both candidates are scheduled to meet in an upcoming candidates forums in Laconia. The first is the Lakes Region Partnership For Public Health health policy forum from 7:45 to 10 a.m. at the Beane Conference Center on Blueberry Lane and the second is the Belknap County Economic Development Council Forum on October 5 from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. in the Woodside Building at the Taylor Community.
ROMNEY from page 2 and separate forms for blind trusts totaled over 800 pages. The blind-trust income came from hedge funds and other complex investment vehicles. The couple also reported $3.5 million in income “from sources outside the United States,” citing “various countries.” Their forms included filings on holdings in Switzerland, Ireland, Germany and the Cayman Islands. The Obama campaign accused Romney anew of profiting from millions invested overseas and “loopholes and tax shelters only available to those at the top.” Apparently hoping to resolve basic questions voters might have, the Romney campaign also released a letter from his accountants saying that in the 20 years prior to 2010 the Romneys paid an average annual effective rate of 20.2 percent, never lower than 13.66 percent. On average, middle-income families — those making from $50,000 to $75,000 a year — pay 12.8 percent of their income in federal taxes, according to Congress’ Joint Committee on Taxation. But many pay a higher rate. The former Massachusetts governor, whose wealth is estimated at perhaps $250 million, is aggressively competing with Obama for the sup-
port of middle class voters. Obama’s own tax return for last year showed that he and his wife, Michelle, paid $162,074 in federal taxes on $789,674 in adjusted gross income, an effective tax rate of 20.5 percent. Their income plunged from $1.7 million in 2010, with declining sales of the president’s books. In 2009, the Obamas reported income of $5.5 million, fueled by the best-selling books. The Romneys’ tax bill could have been lower. For the year, they claimed a deduction for $2.25 million of their $4.021 million in charitable contributions, said Brad Malt, trustee of the candidate’s blind trust. The Romneys gave $2.6 million in cash to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the documents show. They gave just over $2 million in non-cash charitable contributions — including donations of stock holdings in Domino’s Pizza, Dunkin Donuts and Warner Chilcott — to a family trust. They could have claimed more in deductions, Malt said, but the couple “limited their deductions of charitable contributions to conform to the governor’s statement (n August, based on the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13 percent in income taxes in each of the last 10 years.”

Official says no contracts will be broken on October 1 & trash collection changes favoring recycling will reduce costs for city taxpayers BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — Ann Saltmarsh, who manages the solid waste operation at the Department of Public Works, said yesterday that the forthcoming changes in the collection of trash will reduce, not increase, the cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste. Beginning on Monday, October 1 the number of containers of trash collected at the curbside at both residential and properties will be reduced. All households and businesses with more than two bags of trash must use a container. Trash must be bagged. No loose trash will be collected. Bags must be sealed securely and placed in a container. A 33-gallon container, which costs approximately $30, will hold four or five bags of trash. Single-family homes and duplexes, which have been allowed up to five containers, will be limited to two containers a week while multi-family dwellings and commercial establishments, which have been allowed up to 10 containers, will be limited to seven containers a week. Earlier this week former mayor Tom Tardif, in a letter to The Daily Sun, suggested that by reducing the number of containers the city was breaking its contract with both Bestway Disposal Services and city property taxpayers. He also suggested that Bestway was beginning to use smaller trucks. Saltmarsh said that Tardif is mistaken on both counts. “Nor are we using a smaller truck,” she said, adding that Bestway purchased trucks with capacity for 13 tons of trash to serve the city. She said that a so-called “split box” truck, with one side for trash and another for recycles, was only used as needed. More importantly, Saltmarsh explained that the city’s contract with Bestway is not based on the number of containers collected as Tardif
assumed, but on the total tonnage of trash collected. “There are approximately 5,200 curbside stops on the five routes,” she said, “and they estimate one ton of trash will collected at each stop in the course of a year. They bid a fixed price for each ton.” Since the cost of collection includes an adjustment for fuel prices, it has ranged from $66.65 a ton in January to $67.21 in October this year. Under the terms of the contract. Bestway collects recyclable materials at the curbside for a flat fee of $10,340 per month regardless of the tonnage. But, every ton taken out of the waste stream and recycled reduces the cost of collecting, transporting and disposing of solid waste, which is funded by property taxes, by $150 per ton. By recycling 69 tons a month, the city breaks even while each additional ton reduces the solid waste costs by $150. For example, in July 142.05 tons of recyclable materials were collected, sparing the city $21,331 solid waste costs and, less the cost of collecting the recyclables, representing net savings of $10,990. Through the first eight months of the year, the net savings from recycling are $52,918. Reducing the number of containers at the curbside is intended to increase recycling. Saltmarsh said that households can reduce their trash to comply with the new limits by at least half by recycling. The city’s contract with Bestway anticipated that as the tonnage of recyclables increases, the tonnage of trash decreases. Once collected Bestway takes possession of the recyclables and pockets the proceeds from their sale. Bestway expects that as less trash is collected, the loss of revenue will be offset by the sale of recyclables. Saltmarsh stressed that contracts will not be broken and spending will not increase. Instead, as the volume of recycling increases, the cost to property taxpayers of disposing of trash will be reduced.
PAKISTAN from page 2 others were injured as mobs threw stones and set fire to cars and movie theaters, and battled with police who responded with tear gas and gunfire. “The people were just waiting for a trigger,” said Imtiaz Gul, director of the Islamabad-based Center for Research and Security Studies. In an attempt to tamp down the anger, the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad purchased spots on Pakistani TV on Thursday that featured denunciations of the video by President Barack
Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. But their comments, which were subtitled in Urdu, the main Pakistani language, apparently did little to moderate the outrage that filled the country’s streets. Police fired tear gas and live ammunition to push back the tens of thousands of protesters they faced in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, and the major cities of Lahore, Karachi and Peshawar. They were successful in preventing the protesters from reachsee next page

The demonstrators, who were led by hard-line Islamist groups, hurled rocks at the police and set fire to their vehicles. They also ransacked and burned banks, shops, cinemas and Western fast-food restaurants such as KFC and Pizza Hut. Clinton thanked the Pakistani government for protecting the U.S. missions in the country and lamented the deaths in the protests. “The violence we have seen cannot be tolerated,” she said, speaking alongside Pakistani Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar in Washington. “There is no justification for violence.” Khar thanked Obama and Clinton for speaking out against the video, saying it sent “a strong message, and that message should go a long way to ending the violence on many streets on the world.” The deadliest violence occurred in the southern port city of Karachi, where 14 people were killed, said hospital officials. More than 80 people were injured, said the top government official in the city, Roshan Ali Shaikh. At least three of the dead were policemen, one who died when hundreds of protesters attacked a police station. “We are all ready to die for Prophet Muhammad,”
For all life’s tender moments....
said Karachi protester Mohammad Arshad. “We want to show the world that Muslims are one and united on the issue.” Five people were killed and 60 wounded in the northwestern city of Peshawar, said police official Bashir Khan. One of the dead was identified as Mohammad Amir, a driver for a Pakistani TV station who was killed when police fired at protesters torching a cinema and hit his vehicle, said Kashif Mahmood, a reporter for ARY TV who also was in the car. The TV channel showed doctors at a hospital trying unsuccessfully to save Amir’s life. At least 45 people, including 28 protesters and 17 policemen were wounded in clashes in Islamabad, where police fought with more than 10,000 demonstrators in front of a five-star hotel near the diplomatic enclave where the U.S. Embassy and other foreign missions are located. A military helicopter buzzed overhead as the sound of tear gas being fired echoed across the city. In northwestern Pakistan, demonstrators burned the Sarhadi Lutheran Church in the city of Mardan, but no one was injured, said senior police officer Salim Khan The government temporarily blocked cellphone service in 15 major cities to prevent militants from using phones to detonate bombs during the protests,
said an Interior Ministry official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media. Blocking cellphones also had the benefit of making it harder for people to organize protests. Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf urged the international community to pass laws to prevent people from insulting the prophet, and the Foreign Ministry summoned the U.S. charge d’affaires in Islamabad, Richard Hoagland, over the film. “If denying the Holocaust is a crime, then is it not fair and legitimate for a Muslim to demand that denigrating and demeaning Islam’s holiest personality is no less than a crime?” Ashraf said in a speech to religious scholars and international diplomats in Islamabad. Denying the Holocaust is a crime in Germany, but not in the U.S. U.S. officials have tried to explain to the Muslim world how they strongly disagree with the antiIslam film but have no ability to block it because of free speech guarantees. Khar, the foreign minister, said in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that declaring a national holiday for Friday would motivate the peaceful majority to demonstrate their love for the prophet and not allow extremists to turn it into a show of anti-American anger.

In New Hampshire, VP Biden takes issue with Romney’s 47% remarks HANOVER (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that GOP nominee Mitt Romney was “profoundly wrong” in saying 47 percent of Americans see themselves as victims dependent on government to take care of them. It was the first time Biden had publicly responded to comments Romney made on a hidden camera video released this week, and he did it in his classic fiery style. Speaking at Dartmouth College, Biden angrily recited a list of people he accused Romney of writing off, from widows living on Social Security to veterans receiving government health care. In a nod to the mostly student crowd, his voice built to a shout when he got to the millions of college students receiving federal grants. “How could he be so profoundly wrong about America? How is that possible?” Biden said forcefully. “Not in my neighborhood! Not where I grew up! Not the people I know!” When the audience booed, Biden said, “I don’t need your boos. I need your help.” In the video recorded in May and published this week on the Mother Jones website, Romney said that his job as a candidate is not to worry about the 47 percent of Americans whom he said pay no income taxes and see themselves as victims. Biden contrasted Romney’s comments with what he VEGGIES from page one purposes or “personal use” — in just six zoning districts. Agricultural uses, including livestock, are permitted in only four zones — rural residential 1 (RR1), rural residential 2 (RR2), commercial resort (CR) and airport and industrial (AI). Excluding livestock, agricultural uses are permitted in these four zones as well as the industrial (I) and industrial park (IP) zones. Saunders said that the authors sought to confine commercial agricultural enterprises, especially the raising and keeping of livestock and poultry, to rural
described as the Obama campaign’s fundamental philosophy that hard work and responsibility will be rewarded, that everyone plays by the same rules and that everyone gets an opportunity to improve their lives. “We don’t think people who reject responsibility should be given opportunities again, we think they’ve made a choice,” Biden said. But he argued that the vast majority of people Romney referred to do take responsibility. “As my dad would say, I don’t expect the government to solve my problems but I at least expect it to understand my problems,” Biden said. Elsewhere on the campaign trail, the campaigns were trying to win older voters with speeches before the AARP convention in New Orleans. Biden meanwhile, focused on younger voters, telling college students that Romney and his running mate Paul Ryan consider education “an afterthought.” He said the budget plan crafted by Ryan in Congress and endorsed by Romney includes $4.9 billion in education-related budget cuts, including reducing federal Pell grants for college students. “God knows how many that will knock out of school,” he said. “The Romney budget doesn’t do anything for education. What it does is eviscerate it.” Responding to Biden’s remarks, Romney spokesman
areas without discouraging residential gardening. She said that the department would continue to enforce restrictions on commercial agricultural operations, noting that every year a few farmsteads appear in zones where they are not prohibited. Likewise, she indicated that restrictions on the keeping of livestock and poultry would also be enforced. But, Saunders, herself a vegetarian, said that “folks can continue to have their backyard gardens, as long as the produce is for self-consumption and not for profit. “Keep Growing those zucchinis in your backyard!” she exclaimed.
Ryan Williams repeated Romney’s comment that he will be “a president for 100 percent of Americans.” “President Obama yesterday admitted he can’t change Washington, and Vice President Biden — having spent the last four decades in Washington — can’t either,” he said. Biden also was speaking at rallies Friday evening in Concord and Saturday in Merrimack.
Red Sox open final homestand with 4-2 loss to Baltimore
BOSTON (AP) — With the Boston Red Sox having locked up their first losing season since 1997, Jon Lester could admire the success the Baltimore Orioles are having with their first winning record since that same year. The Red Sox, on the verge of finishing last for the first time in 20 years, opened their final homestand of the season with a 4-2 loss to the surprising Orioles on Friday night. Baltimore, which finished 69-93 a year ago, improved to 22 games over .500 in Buck Showalter’s second full season as manager. “I think Buck’s done a very good job of trying to change the mentality of the players,” Lester said. “The offense was always there. They could always hit the ball and run. They lacked a little bit of the pitching, whether it was the starting or the back end of the bullpen. They’ve done a good job filling those pieces. It’s finally coming together for them.” Lester (9-13) lost for the first time in his 21 career starts against the Orioles. Matt Wieters drove in three runs, Miguel Gonzalez pitched 6 1-3 solid innings and the Orioles remained one game behind the first-place New York Yankees in the AL East. The Yankees beat Oakland 2-1 in 10 innings. The Orioles broke a tie with the Athletics for the top wildcard spot. All three teams have 12 games remaining.

Jeff Gordon will be on the pole for Sunday’s race at N.H. Motor Speedway LOUDON (AP) — Jeff Gordon came into the media center after winning the pole in New Hampshire and found that the moderator was not yet at his post. No problem: Gordon began interviewing himself. The four-time NASCAR champion was in a familiar position at the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday after qualifying for his 72nd career pole position. Gordon will be joined in the front row by Kyle Busch, With Tony Stewart and Brian Vickers behind them. “I think we surprised ourselves a little bit with this pole,” said Gordon, whose last championship was in 2001 — before the current Sprint Cup format. “This is something we didn’t expect. Think we expected to be strong in the race here, but for qualifying, we haven’t sat on the pole at a non-restricted track in quite some times. So, this was a big one. And, certainly good timing.” Gordon, who heads into the race Sunday ranked 12th in the Sprint Cup standings, ran a lap at 134.911 mph in qualifying Friday. Busch was second, at 134.753 mph, and defending series champion Tony Stewart was third. “We’ll have a good pit spot and hopefully we can keep that track position all day and not have to beat our car up trying to get up there,” Stewart said.

Gordon, who barely qualified for the Chase, is hoping a strong finish in New Hampshire will help him overcome a 35th-place finish in Chicago, when he hit the wall with about 80 laps to go. He was the only one of the 12 Chase drivers who didn’t finish in the top 18. “Qualifying is important. But, there are no points for the pole,” Gordon said. “Doesn’t guarantee anything for the race. Certainly it is a nice boost and something to build on. ... At this point, we have a lot of work to do, and it’s not going to happen all in one race. It’s going to happen over nine races.” He said he still felt good about Chicago. “We were running fourth when we wrecked last week. Your confidence gets broken when you are running 25th,” he said. “That is the thing that has really gotten us through this season, is that we’ve had a lot of problems that have been frustrating, and we’ve had to battle through them. But our cars have been really, really fast.” Points leader Brad Keselowski qualified 15th. Denny Hamlin was 32nd in qualifying after his Joe Gibbs Racing crew made its second costly mistake of the Chase, incorrectly setting the tire pressure to race level. It comes five days after the gas man failed to fill Hamlin’s tank on the final pit stop at Chicago. Hamlin wound up finishing 16th in the Chase

The deepest starting spot for a race winner in New Hampshire is 38th by Jeff Burton in 1999. “He drove from 16th or something like that to second the last time we were here after the last stop,” Gordon said. “Those guys are good. Their car looked really strong. I don’t think it is going to be an issue.” Jose Wise was disqualified from the race because a post-qualifying inspection showed improper gas pressure in his rear shocks.

Kendall Santy wins reading raffle Kendall Santy was the Grand Prize winner for the Dream Big Read summer reading program raffle at the Alton Library. Dozens of readers were chasing their dreams this summer through a variety of special programming that included crafts, silly riddles and guessing games, coloring and activity pages. The program also included a special performance by The Children’s Museum of New Hampshire, which entertained young and old with a fun and educational program that focused on nocturnal animals found in New Hampshire, their physical adaptations, homes and behaviors that make them well - suited for “night Life”. This program was sponsored in part by the Alton Teacher’s Association. The River Run Deli, Rte 28, Alton and Back Bay Used Books, Center Street, Wolfeboro donated prizes. (Courtesy photo)
$2.7 million requested from LCHIP for preservation & land conservation CONCORD — The Board of Directors of the New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program (LCHIP) announces that 51 proposals were submitted by the grant application deadline Friday September 7 at noon. The total amount requested is $2.7 million. “LCHIP is delighted that so many applicants are aware of the availability of funding.” says LCHIP Board Chair Rusty McLear. “We are able to hold this $500,000 grant round with money that became available when funds were unexpectedly returned to the program.” The state budget adopted for fiscal years 2012 and 2013 (July 2011 – June 2013) does not include any funds for LCHIP grants. McLear continues: “A recent survey by UNH shows that 97% of New Hampshire voters support putting state money into land conservation and historic preservation. The response to this grant round is another indication of how eager New Hampshire people are to protect our historic and natural resources. Such resources define our communities and make New Hampshire such a special place to live, work and visit.” The applications include 40 historic buildings and 11 land conservation
projects totaling 4,325 acres. Proposed projects are found in 33 towns and 6 cities and in each of the ten counties of the state. Grant requests range from $1,000 to $150,000. The total value of the proposed projects is $26.6 million, a substantial increase over the 1:1 match that LCHIP requires and an indication of the contribution land conservation and historic preservation make to the state and local economies. The New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program is an independent state authority that provides matching grants to New Hampshire communities and non-profits in an effort to protect and preserve the state’s most important natural, cultural and historic resources. Its legislatively mandated mission is to ensure the perpetual contribution of these resources to the economy, environment and the quality of life in New Hampshire. LCHIP funds have helped 141 New Hampshire communities conserve 300,000 acres and 126 historic structures and sites to date, investing $27 million and leveraging more than $236 million in total project value. For more information about LCHIP visit www.lchip.org or call (603) 224-4113.

Waterfront Sales Report master suite and two en-suites upstairs, six baths, a country kitchen, private media room, four sided fireplace, library, private office, and two family rooms. There are multiple decks and patios outside from which to enjoy the views. The 1-acre lot has expansive lawns, 188-feet of frontage, a sandy beach, docks, and a jetty. This property was listed at $4.395-million and sold for $3.5-million after 241 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $2.33-million. There were two sales on Winnisquam in August. A small 40’s vintage, two bedroom, year round cottage at 66 Dr. True Rd in Sanbornton on a third acre lot with 100-feet of frontage was listed at $419,000 and sold for $405,000 in 94 days. It is assessed at $402,600. The other sale was at 96 Swain Road in Meredith in the Waldron Bay community. This 2,856-square-foot, three bedroom, three bath home has a well appointed kitchen and separate dining room with fireplace. The living room also has a fireplace, cathedral ceilings, and a wall of windows through which to enjoy the wonderful views. There’s also a finished family room in the walk out lower level with a nice patio just outside. The home sits on a .85-acre lot with 160 feet of frontage with a dock. The owner has use of the Waldron Bay clubhouse, tennis courts, and one of the best beaches on Winnisquam. Nice! This home was listed in 2011 at $860,000, re-listed this year at $799,000, and sold for $745,000 which was over the assessed value of $643,300. A home at 35 Pine Lane in Holderness was the only sale on Squam last month. This seasonal, 50’s vintage, waterfront cottage has 1,468-square-feet of space, four bedrooms, two baths, a knotty pine interior, and a living room with a wood stove to complete that Squammie feel. There’s a great deck and a screened porch with views in all directions. The third acre lot has 95-feet of frontage. This home was listed in 2010 for $299,000, bumped way up to $575,000 in 2011, listed again in 2012 at $525,000, and sold for $480,000. It was on the market a total of 373 days. Kind of makes you wonder what was see next page
There were 12 waterfront sales on Lake Winnipesaukee in the month of August at an average price of $1.18-million. That compares to 18 sales at an average of $827,589 in August 2011 and 14 sales at $1.1-million in 2010. The average sales price so far this year on the big lake is $956,021 compared to $1.074 million last year. There have been 80 sales so far this year compared to 69 for the same period last year. So lakefront property is moving well but at a lower price. The least expensive property sold on Winnipesaukee in August was an at 316 Bear Island in Meredith. This two bedroom seasonal cottage has the typical knotty pine interior, updated kitchen and baths, a fireplace, screened porch, and a new septic system. The cottage sits on a .8-acre lot with 100 feet of frontage and deep-water docking. This property was originally listed in June of 2011 at $449,900, re-listed June of this year at $347,900, and sold for $330,000 in just three days. It’s amazing what a difference a $100,000 price reduction and a year make. The property is currently assessed at $341,500. I bet the new owner was happily paddling around out there this summer. The sale closest to the median price of $710,000 for August was at 124 Rogers Road in Alton. This open concept home was built in 1990 and has 3,456-feet of living space, three bedrooms, three baths, hardwood floors throughout, natural woodwork, woodstove, hearth, a new roof and furnace, lots of windows, and a great deck. The house sits on a level .43-acre lot with long views, privacy, dock, and 100 feet of frontage. This property was listed at $949,000 and was only on the market for 30 days before going under contract at $870,000. It is currently assessed at $739,400. The highest sale of the month was at 440 Edgewater Drive in Gilford on Governor’s Island. This magnificent Craftsman-style home has a touch of Adirondack flair with six over one pane windows, custom built-ins, and coffered and wood ceilings. Built in 2007, this fine home has 6,575-squarefeet of space, five bedrooms including a main level

Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act focus of Lakes Region Planning Commission meeting on Monday MEREDITH — On Monday, September 24, the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) is convening a commission meeting at 6 p.m. an the Meredith Community Center at which the primary focus will be the Shoreland Water Quality Protection Act (SWQPA) enacted in 2011. The primary goal of the SWQPA is to protect the
water quality of the state’s public waters. Administered by the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES), the SWQPA regulates the development and land use planning of upland areas surrounding the state’s lakes, rivers, and coastline. The changes from 2011 relaxed several former requiresee next page
from preceding page going on with the pricing doesn’t it? Waterfront and vacations homes sales continue to keep the Lakes Region real estate market afloat and their owners contribute immensely to keep the local economy going. I am not sure what things would be like around here economically if we didn’t have these beautiful bodies of water and the amazing
scenery we have, but it wouldn’t be good. Maybe we need to dig a few more lakes? You can also receive these reports by email.

from preceding page ments designed to conserve and protect water quality. Representatives from the NH Department of Environmental Services will review the Act, and talk about their experiences implementing it over the past year. Joining the conversation will be the chairman of the Shoreland Advisory Committee, a committee created by the NH Legislature in 2011. This committee is charged with developing recommendations to help improve the current act. Given the number of large water bodies in the Lakes Region, watershed management is of critical importance. Much of the region’s economy is directly or indirectly related to water quality, and many studies have been completed which show a direct relationship between water quality and property values. This
meeting provides an opportunity to become aware of the effectiveness of the SWQPA from the perspective of the people responsible for enforcing it, and to learn more about strategies that will help ensure the longterm viability of our prized water resources. At this meeting, the LRPC Commissioners will also be asked to consider the proposed FY14 LRPC membership appropriations, approve the FY 13 Annual Report, and to consider adoption of a Communication Policy. An association of 30 communities, the LRPC has active programs in land use and environmental planning, transportation, watershed preservation, economic development, mapping and technical assistance, and information services. All LRPC meetings are open to the public. For additional information or special accommodation, contact the LRPC: 279-8171 or lrpc@lakesrpc.org.

MEREDITH — Theodore J. Stephens, 89, of Meredith, passed away on Friday, September 14, 2012 after a period of declining health at the Golden View Health Care Center, in Meredith. Born in Orange, NJ, on August 7, 1923, he was the son of Oscar and Anna (Lynch) Stephens. Ted, as he was known, was raised in Orange, graduating from the Seton Hall Preparatory High School, class of 1941. After graduating high school he worked at South Orange Trust Co. as a teller before entering the Navy. Ted served in the 7th Pacific Fleet during WWII on the USS Boston. After the Navy, Ted went to work for the Robert Odell & Co., in Newark, NJ, and then went on to start his own business, the Salon Services & Equipment Co., in Cornwells Heights, PA; until his retirement. In his retirement, Ted found great interest and pleasure in operating as a flea-market vendor throughout Pennsylvania. He also loved spending time on his houseboat, the “Vagabond II”, off the New Jersey coast. Ted had a firm handshake and a strong work ethic, both of which he imparted to his children and grandchildren. In 2008, Ted moved to Meredith to be closer to his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his three sons, Theodore J. Ste-

MVSB supports Mentoring Together at Middle School MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) is pleased to announce a $2,500 donation to Mentoring Together — a mentoring program at Laconia Middle School inspired by the Better Together community initiative. In an effort to positively impact the youth in Laconia, many attempts to support mentor programming have been made over the years. Unfortunately, nothing has proved to be sustainable. Over the last two years, a committed group of citizens has worked together through the Better Together community initiative to establish a grassroots program, which is now known as Mentoring Together. The donation from MVSB will primarily be used to help fund the salary of a part-time coordinator to administer the mentoring program. “We are so thankful for this generous gift from MVSB,” said Joyce Selig, member of the Better Together Steering Council and
SPECIAL FALL PRICES!
the Mentoring Together Advisory Council. “Hiring a coordinator to administer this program is vitally important to its long-term success. We feel very grateful that local businesses like MVSB are eager to help us positively impact on our local youth.” Mentees are referred to Mentoring Together by teachers, school staff and parents. Students who were not necessarily referred for mentoring, but who show an interest in the program, are also matched up with mentors. Ultimately, Mentoring Together believes that all children can benefit from having another caring adult in their lives. Mentors are currently being recruited from the Laconia area. Mentors must be able to commit to meeting with their mentee once per week, for one hour during the afterschool program, for an entire year. Any adult who is interested in forming a positive one-on-one relationship with a child through Mentoring Together should contact Sandy McLaughlin at 528-2324 for more information.

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If you surprise a horse, you chance receiving a swift kick to the sternum. With a gentle approach and a reassuring pat, you can show a horse that you come in peace. People are the same today, so proceed with caution. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Melding your personality to suit those around you will be counterproductive. Today, fitting in is a near impossible feat. Instead, create your own niche. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your creative mind is abuzz. You’ll allow yourself to wander to some extent, but you know it’s only a matter of time before you must rein yourself in and get some work done. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Contradictions are a natural part of who you are. You needn’t defend your clashing opinions. So what if they are incongruent? So are a lot of the more sophisticated aspects of life. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Complainers abound. Some of them are quite humorous in their apt descriptions of what’s wrong. But you most admire the ones who don’t talk about the conditions and just experience them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 22). You’ll like the new characters that come into your life this year, and you’ll be happy for their influence on your story. People will give you things in October. Some gifts will be straight-up wonderful, and others will be mixed blessings. December sends you on an adventurous vacation. August brings a windfall. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 25, 12, 49 and 16.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have some ambivalence about going through with the event you set up earlier in the week. You can interpret this as a sign that you’ve changed since then. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Ask for what you’ve long wanted. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be given the royal treatment, except that no one will know it’s what you expect unless you ask for it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Friends are proud to know you. Plus, your life might be more exciting than theirs at the moment, which means they’ll share -- probably more than you would have liked -- on your behalf. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maybe gravity is caused by gravitons, but no one has seen a graviton, so who knows? Similarly, a loved one’s downer mood has no traceable source, so don’t take it personally. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The circumstances around you will confirm your opinion of how things should be, and so your mood will be light -- until they don’t confirm them anymore. Then your mood will be busy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Those with nutty, irrational beliefs are often willing to go the distance to justify them. That could influence you to go another route today: open-minded and explaining nothing. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What matters is not what you talk about, but how you flesh out your topics with a personal connection. Bringing more of yourself to superficial relationships will deepen them.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 22, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Sept. 22, the 266th day of 2012. There are 100 days left in the year. Autumn arrives at 10:49 a.m. Eastern time. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 22, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863. On this date: In 1761, Britain’s King George III and his wife, Charlotte, were crowned in Westminster Abbey. In 1776, during the Revolutionary War, Capt. Nathan Hale, 21, was hanged as a spy by the British in New York. In 1862, King Wilhelm I of Prussia met with Otto von Bismarck, whom he decided to appoint minister president, or premier. In 1911, pitcher Cy Young, 44, gained his 511th and final career victory as he hurled a 1-0 shutout for the Boston Rustlers against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Forbes Field. In 1922, Congress passed, and President Warren Harding signed, the Cable Act, which allowed an American woman to keep her U.S. citizenship following marriage to a foreigner, provided the husband was considered eligible for American citizenship. In 1927, Gene Tunney successfully defended his heavyweight boxing title against Jack Dempsey in the famous “long-count” fight in Chicago. In 1938, the musical comedy revue “Hellzapoppin’,” starring Ole (OH’-lee) Olsen and Chic Johnson, began a three-year run on Broadway. In 1961, the Interstate Commerce Commission issued rules prohibiting racial discrimination on interstate buses. Actress Marion Davies died in Los Angeles at age 64. In 1964, the musical “Fiddler on the Roof” opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 3,242 performances. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. (Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on Dec. 31, 2007.) In 1980, the Persian Gulf conflict between Iran and Iraq erupted into full-scale war that lasted nearly eight years. In 1982, the situation comedy “Family Ties” premiered on NBC. One year ago: A group of European researchers at the world’s biggest physics lab in Switzerland claimed to have measured a subatomic particle, a neutrino, traveling faster than the speed of light, a finding that challenged Einstein’s theory of relativity (however, the results have since been refuted by other scientists). Today’s Birthdays: Baseball Hall of Fame manager Tommy Lasorda is 85. Musician King Sunny Ade is 66. Actor Paul Le Mat is 66. Capt. Mark Phillips is 64. Rock singer David Coverdale is 61. Actress Shari Belafonte is 58. Singer Debby Boone is 56. Country singer June Forester is 56. Singer Nick Cave is 55. Rock singer Johnette Napolitano is 55. Classical crossover singer Andrea Bocelli is 54. Singer-musician Joan Jett is 54. Actor Scott Baio is 52. Actress Catherine Oxenberg is 51. Actor Rob Stone is 50. Rock musician Matt Sharp is 43. Rock musician Dave Hernandez is 42. Actress Mireille Enos is 37. Actor Michael Graziadei is 33. Actress Ashley Drane is 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: May I, a male in his 70s, respond to “Bob,” who said that aging, obese, snoring and unhealthy women are the reasons for bedroom problems? Perhaps in his home, but not in ours. I can’t pinpoint exactly when intimacy began evolving into something deeper, but when I retired, I became so appreciative of this woman who, for more than 30 years, managed our home and family and always ensured that my life was as comfortable as possible. I show my love and thanks by having her coffee ready each morning and performing household labor. I don’t mind that her body has added weight (so has mine). I compliment her continuing beauty, magnificent heart and kindness to others. -- Kathy’s Grateful Husband Dear Grateful: Bless your heart. We were overwhelmed with mail from men and women, agreeing and disagreeing with Bob. Read on for a tiny sample: From Kentucky: “Bob” is right. Men don’t look at obese women walking by. But you won’t see a woman taking a second look at an obese man, either. The majority of obese people have chosen that course by eating too much. Name Withheld: When I was 58, my wife decided that I should get my testosterone checked. I did -- and happened to mention that my wife had put on an extra 50 pounds. Boy, did I get an earful on the way home. Women are wired differently. They equate sex with love. Most men feel that sex is a physical thing. All this, and I still love my wife very much. Florida: Women of America, please ignore this pathetic loser. This jerk is an embarrassment to all decent men. Plenty of men have laughable beer bellies and think watching golf and NASCAR is exercise. Greencastle, Pa.: I’m female and am repulsed by obese women. Recently, I watched a large friend eating ice cream. She doesn’t understand why she can’t get a man interested in her.
Boston: Bob left out the most important part. In the darkness of one’s bedroom, one can be in bed with a fantasy. But no amount of testosterone will make it any easier to kiss the lips that have been yelling at you all day long. California: I’m a 52-year-old man, married for 31 years. I enjoy talking to my wife on the phone, but lose my libido as soon as I see her. Men are visually stimulated. I have even searched dating sites looking for sex. Bob is correct: The women on the dating sites are single because they are fat. Ohio: A man marries a woman for two reasons: She knows how to treat a man and looks fine, and she is kind and courteous and knows her place. Tannersville, Pa.: I always get a kick out of the ED commercials in which the woman is slim and attractive. Why don’t they show the real slob the man goes home to after working all day? They should be marketing blindfolds, not drugs. Louisiana: I was married to a morbidly obese man and found his body revolting. He was a wonderful lover, but we had sex in the dark, and I tried not to look at him below the neck. Massachusetts: Women haven’t cornered the market on laziness and obesity. It just seems that women are more likely to overlook these faults than men. So when your wife wants sex, just shut your eyes and imagine someone hot. She’s been doing that for years. From a Nurse: According to Kaiser State Health Facts, 71.2 percent of adult men in the country are overweight or obese compared to 57 percent of adult women. People are more likely to become overweight if the environment they live in is conducive to unhealthy eating and inactivity. Married people tend to live in the same environment. Each partner should be willing to help and support the other to reach healthy goals and maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Trio Veritas performing at Plymouth MSVB presents grant to Appalachian Mountain Teen Project State University on September 23 PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre and Dance at Plymouth State University will present Trio Veritas Sunday, September 23 at 1 p.m., performing compositions by professors Romeo Melloni and Jonathan Santore, The performance will be held in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts. Trio members are PSU Professor and pianist, Dan Perkins, violinist Ella Marie Gray, and cellist Terri Benshoof, with guest artist PSU Professor Matthew Marsit, clarinet. Perkins says Melloni’s “Clarinet Quartet” is a surprisingly lush and romantic piece, while Santore’s work has a very distinctive sound and employs the rarely played E-flat clarinet and piano. Another work, “A Whimsical Solution” composed by Benshoof’s husband Ken, is accessible and fun. In addition, the ensemble will perform the more traditional “Clarinet Trio in A minor” for clarinet, cello and piano, by Brahms. Terri Benshoof is a principal cellist for both Seattle Symphony and at Seattle Opera, and has been a member of the New Hampshire Music Festival. She is a two-time winner of the prestigious Coleman International Chamber Music Competition. Ella Marie Gray has been a member of the New Hampshire Music Festival since 1982 where she has performed
as a soloist and concertmaster. She is also a member of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra and an artistin-residence at the Santa Barbara Chamber Music Festival. Dan Perkins is professor of music and director of choral activities at Plymouth State University where he was awarded the first StevensBristow Distinguished Professorship. Perkins is music director of the New Hampshire Master Chorale and Chamber Orchestra, the Manchester Choral Society and the New Hampshire Friendship Chorus. A former Fulbright scholar to Finland, he has been principal guest conductor of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet, conductor of the Hanover Chamber Orchestra/Camerata New England, and interim conductor of the Dartmouth Handel Society. A new addition to the Plymouth State faculty, clarinetist Matthew Marsit has conducted ensembles ranging from the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia to the Fairmont Chamber Orchestra, while making solo appearances with the Cornell University Jazz Ensemble, the Drexel University Symphony Orchestra and the Chestnut Hill Orchestra. Tickets for Trio Veritas at Plymouth State University are $14 for adults, $13 for seniors and $11 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.
MEREDITH — With a recent grant from the Meredith Village Savings Bank Fund (MVSB Fund), the Appalachian Mountain Teen Project (AMTP) of Wolfeboro will be able to offer trips and activities to enrich the lives of Lakes Region teens that face challenging life circumstances and have limited financial resources. The funds will go toward the AMTP’s ‘Teen Project’ and ‘Pathways to Leadership’ programs for local youth between the ages of 12 and 18. The programs include 30 days of trips that emphasize wilderness adventure, leadership development, community service and future explorations. In addition, AMTP offers one-on-one mentoring support and operates multiple projects that foster resilience in youth, encourage positive peer and family connections, and increase community knowledge on issues and concerns relevant to children and adolescents. “We’re so grateful for the support of the MVSB Fund in helping us improve opportunities for youth in our communities,” said Dave Lynch, executive director of the AMTP. “Their

generosity will allow 50 teens in our community to exercise new communication and leadership skills, develop an appreciation for multicultural society and the natural world, and learn about the many ways they can participate in their local communities.” By collaborating with parents, educators, and mental health practitioners, the AMTP helps more than 300 youth each year thrive in their families, schools, peer group and communities and reaches more than 800 others each year through community and family education projects and professional development opportunities. Five school districts actively partner with the AMTP: Alton, Gilford, Laconia, Governor Wentworth and Wakefield. The AMTP relies solely on funding from towns, private foundations, businesses and private donors to sustain their program. The award to the Appalachian Mountain Teen Project is one of 32 grants totaling $78,762 awarded by the MVSB Fund during the most recent grant cycle. Applications for the next set of grants are due by October 15, 2012.
