Condolences pour into National Zoo for panda cub

WASHINGTON (AP) — As condolences poured in from around the world, National Zoo officials waited Monday for word on why a 6-day-old panda cub died and lamented a heartbreaking setback to their closely watched breeding program.

The cub had liver abnormalities and fluid in its abdomen, but a cause of death will not be known until full necropsy results are available within two weeks.

The cub, believed to be female, died Sunday morning, less than a week after its birth surprised and delighted zoo officials and visitors. Zookeepers had all but given up on the panda mother’s chances of conceiving after six years of failed attempts.

“Every loss is hard,” National Zoo director Dennis Kelly said. “This one is especially devastating.”

This much is known: The cub appeared to be in good condition. It had been drinking its mother’s milk. And it wasn’t accidentally crushed to death by its mother, which has happened to other panda cubs in captivity. At birth, the see PANDA page 12

Court ruling allows out-of-state students to vote in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — A judge on Monday cleared the way for out-of-state college students to continue voting in New Hampshire, ordering the state to change its new voter registration form before the November elections.

Students traditionally have been allowed to declare the state their home without holding legal residency, which involves an intent to stay for an extended period of time.

And in 1972, a federal judge ruled that the state could not forbid out-of-state students from voting in New Hampshire even if they

planned to leave after graduation.

But under a law passed this year, new voters would have been required to sign a statement saying they declare New Hampshire their home and are subject to laws that apply to all residents, including laws requiring drivers to register cars and get a New Hampshire driver’s license. The statement doesn’t specifically require students to be residents but makes them subject to hundreds of laws involving residency.

Strafford County Superior Court Judge John Lewis ordered the state to issue new voter reg-

istration forms without that paragraph, saying it was at odds with state law and would have a “clear, harmful effect” on the voting rights of college students and others.

The law, which was passed over Democratic Gov. John Lynch’s veto, was challenged by the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire and four students represented by the New Hampshire Civil Liberties Union.

“We are very pleased the judge agreed with our concern that students who come see STUDENTS page 12

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) — A Harvardeducated biologist was sentenced to life in prison without parole Monday after being convicted of going on a shooting rampage during a faculty meeting at an Alabama university, killing three colleagues and wounding three others in 2010.

The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes before convicting Amy Bishop. The former professor at the University of Alabama in Huntsville showed no reaction as

the verdict was read. She did not speak in court, but her attorney said she has often expressed great remorse for the victims and their families.

“She is shattered beyond belief,” attorney Roy Miller said.

Bishop avoided a death sentence by pleading guilty earlier this month to the shootings on Feb. 12, 2010. Before the guilty plea — which she signed with a barely legible scrawl — her attorneys

had said they planned to use an insanity defense.

However, she was still required to have a brief trial because she admitted to a capital murder charge.

And she still could face a trial in Massachusetts, where she is charged in the 1986 killing of her 18-year-old brother. Seth Bishop’s death had been ruled an accident after Amy Bishop told investigators she shot him see PROFESSOR page 14

Despite voter disapproval, someone has to win between Obama & Romney ATLANTA (AP) — Never have American voters re-elected a president whose work they disapprove of as much as Barack Obama’s. Not that Mitt Romney can take much comfort — they’ve never elected a challenger they view so negatively, either.

Unless things change dramatically, this Election Day will mark a first, no matter who wins. The victor will be a sitting president with a slow economy, 8 percent-plus unemployment and an average Gallup jobapproval rating below 50 percent. Or he’ll

Charter school advocates fight N.H. moratorium CONCORD (AP) — Outraged charter school advocates plan to pressure the New Hampshire Board of Education to reverse its recent decision to enact an indefinite moratorium on authorizing new schools.

The board voted last week to deny all pending charter school applications, citing uncertainty over state funding. But charter school officials, parents and others hope to change that with letters, petitions and in-person appeals at the board’s next meeting, set for Oct. 17.

“We have a five-year budget plan in place, we have a curriculum plan in place, we have a building picked out. We’re ready to move,” said Don Erdbrink, a board member of the Seacoast High School for the Arts. “And now we can’t do anything because of this decision.”

The state spends about $5,450 per charter school student each year. But given the rapid growth in recent years, the current total wouldn’t be enough going forward, board chairman Tom Raffio said.

He said the board supports charter schools, and points to the 11 schools that are up and running and seven more that have been approved as proof of that support. But it wouldn’t be fair to the 15 others that have been proposed to approve them without knowing whether funding will keep pace, he said. see CHARTER page 11

The city countered the initial offer of $10-million with its offer of $2.16-million, which matched the state’s recent appraisal of the property. Following the law, the state then offered the property to the county, which declined it.

Then the city resubmitted its $2.16-million bid hoping the Executive Council would approve the sale at that price without really try to sell the land on the open market.

Instead, Lahey said that the state is on the brink of issuing the RFP, which he anticipated would be a lengthy document. Without elaborating further, he suggested

that the city should take its offer off the table in order to place itself on an equal footing with other prospective bidders considering the terms of the RFP. The city’s offer included four tax parcels. The largest, some 200-acres, is bounded by North Main Street to the east, Meredith Center Road and Eastman Road to the north and Ahern State Park to the west and south and divided roughly in half by Right Way Path. The city holds 99-year leases at $1 per year, which expire in 2099, on the three remaining parcels: an undeveloped 10.4-acre lot at the junction of Old North Main Street and North Main Street; an unimproved wooded lot of 7.5-acres at the corner of Lane Road and Meredith Center Road and the 10.2 acres housing the Robbie Mills Sports Complex.

ELECTION from page 2 nationally and in several key states that could decide a close election. And the mere fact that Romney hasn’t ever notched a clear lead in polling, unlike previous winning challengers by this point, underscores his struggle to strike a chord with an electorate that isn’t exactly enamored with the incumbent.

The presidency already gives certain campaign advantages to the Oval Office occupant, and history indicates that the longer Romney looks up at

Obama, the greater the president’s chances at a second term.

History, of course, isn’t predictive. But it does provide context to help understand the current state of the race.

Some Republicans point to 1980 as hope for a Romney rebound. That year, Ronald Reagan pulled away from President Jimmy Carter in late October to win in a landslide that has reached almost mythical status in GOP annals. But there are many see next page

City says Wide Open Saloon debris should have Health: Adjusted SPIA’s Poor Health Can Be a been removed by now, sets October 1 deadline

BY MICHAEL KITCH LACONIA — The City Council last night agreed that if the debris remaining from the demolition of the Wide Open Saloon at Weirs Beach has not been emoted from the site by October 1, City Manager Scott Myers should seek an order from Belknap County Superior Court authorizing the city to clear the site and place a lien on the property to recover its costs.

“What is sitting there is not a whole better than what was standing there,” City Manager Scott Myers old the City Council last night. “I share your frustration and citizens’ frustration, “ he continued, adding that “I prefer it can worked out amicably.”

Myers told the councilors that the agreement between the city and Brandi Baldi, the principal of 38 Endicott Street North, LLC, the owner of the property, stipulated that the demolition would be

complete and the debris removed by September 12.

He said that attorneys representing both parties have met, but there has been no sign of activity on the property.

On September 17, 2010 the building was severely damaged by fire. In the two years that followed its charred remains cast a pall over The Weirs while Baldi pursued various strands of litigation, including a suit against her insurance carrier. Ultimately the city and Baldi reached a settlement and earlier this month the building was finally knocked down.

As part of the settlement the city agreed that once the demolition is complete, the property owner will have one year to make a good faith effort, which could amount to filing a site plan or pulling a building permit, to rebuild on the same footprint, without being bound by changes in the zoning ordinance enacted since the original building was constructed.

from preceding page reasons why this is not 1980, not the least of which are that Romney is not Reagan and Obama is not Carter.

From Labor Day through late October, Carter was tied with or led Reagan. But, unlike Romney, Reagan had led for most of the summer, and Carter hadn’t polled better than 41 percent since the spring, well below Obama’s lowest head-to-head numbers this year.

Many Republicans, meanwhile, are growing restless following Romney’s lackluster convention, his comments on Middle East unrest and the release of a secretly recorded video that showed the GOP nominee dismissing 47 percent of the country as believing they are “victims” and dependent on handouts.

Still, says Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, “This is our election to lose. If Obama wins, he’ll be rewriting political history.”

Using historical Gallup job approval ratings in election years — in September where possible — Obama ranks below the seven presidents who have been re-elected since 1948. But he is in a stronger position than the three — Carter, Gerald Ford and George H.W. Bush — who lost. The three losing presidents all had unemployment rates lower than today’s, but the overall economic circumstances vary.

Obama’s personal favorability ratings have consistently been higher than his job approval ratings.

Republican strategist Timmy Teepell, who manages gubernatorial, House and Senate campaigns for

the GOP, credits independents with the difference.

“They may not like what he’s done,” he said, “but they think he’s a good guy and he’s trying hard.”

Voters with negative impressions of Romney, meanwhile, have outnumbered those with favorable impressions for much of his bid. That dynamic was fueled in no small part by a crowded primary field that hammered Romney on everything from his moderate record as Massachusetts governor to his business ventures at Bain Capital.

At Romney headquarters, the official line is optimism. Top pollster Neil Newhouse proffers the Politics 101 method for beating an incumbent. At the same time, he acknowledges that Romney’s effort so far isn’t enough.

“We recognize that over the next seven weeks we need to not just make the case why Barack Obama doesn’t deserve a second term,” Newhouse said, “but also to paint a picture of how a Mitt Romney presidency would be different and better.”

With Romney working on the second part of that effort, the president has capsized the usual rules of an incumbent election and, in some respects, made Nov. 6 a referendum on Romney in addition to one on Obama’s first term.

“We’ve just done a better job telling the president’s story than they’ve done telling theirs,” claims Paul Begala, a veteran Democratic strategist who is advising the pro-Obama Super PAC Priorities USA Action.

Factor in Producing Income

Listen Up! There’s a type of Annuity that pays you money if your health profile is poor. This is very different than trying to apply for life insurance where you need to qualify medically and be of good standing. This may sound strange but here’s how it works. SPIA stands for “Single Premium Immediate Annuity”, and has long been a popular investment for obtaining a fixed income which cannot be outlived, (perpetual income). Insurance carriers calculate the size of your monthly payment based on standard life expectancy tables. Once these are calculated, you continue to receive the same monthly amount, regardless of how long you live. It’s almost like getting a second social security check.

Is it really True?

There are companies that take into account your individual health conditions and use that information to calculate your life expectancy.

Your health is factored into the initial payment calculation. If your health records indicate conditions that could lower your life expectancy, your “fixed” payment will be higher, regardless of how long you live.

Here is a hypothetical example. A healthy 70 year old male decides to obtain a SPIA. He deposits a $200,000 premium and based on his standard life expectancy of 16 years, his monthly payment is $1,460. He will receive this fixed amount regardless of how long he lives. . This annuitant will receive a higher fixed monthly payment when his health history is negative.

Therefore; if he has a negative health profile and the insurance company calculates his life expectancy at only 10 years, his monthly payment will increase to $2,104.

Important Note SPIA’s have been most popular with single individuals who are not concerned with leaving an inheritance. Once the initial premium is paid the SPIA cannot be surrendered for value, instead, the individual receives a fixed income monthly for life. Another benefit is safety of principal, your money is backed by the insurer and is not based on the fluctuations of the markets. You also receive a tax advantage with this type of guaranteed income.

For those who like the idea of increasing their monthly income and leaving funds to heirs, you may consider using only a portion of your assets for a SPIA, and keep other assets designated for heirs. If this type of planning is something you would be interested in contact your financial advisor. See you next week.

Susan Estrich

Those can’t hide moments I used to joke that there was no hat that Michael Dukakis could have put on in a school or hospital that would have doomed his campaign the way that helmet did (with the strap fastened) at the tank factory. What was he doing at a tank factory? The short answer is that the defense hawks in the Democratic Party thought he looked weak on defense and needed to confront it by doing a defense event, where he ended up looking like a guy who didn’t belong on a tank.

Presidential politics, for all the talk about handlers and fundraising and paid media, is painfully transparent. Even the ads that turn out to matter are often the ones that most people never see except on the news, which would include the famous daisy ad in 1964 (which was shown once) or even the antiKerry Swift Boat ads that got more attention than air play. And much of the time, the insight comes some other way. For instance, George Bush looking at his watch during his “public forum” debate with Bill Clinton.

With 50 days to go, a lot can still happen. Yada Yada. That’s what we always say until it’s over.

But if you had to guess, the “Romney tape” will, in retrospect, be the moment that defines a candidacy and a campaign because it reinforces precisely what everyone has long seen as Romney’s fundamental weakness. He’s a rich, self-satisfied guy who just doesn’t get it — meaning us. He stands in a room full of rich people and it never occurs to him that someone out there — maybe the kid in the kitchen, or the woman who served his dinner, or the son or daughter or friend of one of the rich hosts — isn’t a member of the club that Mitt has belonged to all his life. All he sees are the people who look just like him. Everyone else is invisible, or worse — irresponsible, lazy, the object of his contempt.

He doesn’t get that some of the people who need a helping hand from the government aren’t “victims,” but seniors who built this country, or disabled vets who put their lives on the line, or students who need help to go to college, or

children who otherwise won’t get a hot meal in the day.

He thinks of these “others” as tax wastrels, unlike he and his friends who make their money not by working but by having money. And he doesn’t even realize that the way he sees the world is not the way the world really is for most people.

In the days since “the video” came out, I’ve been asked a lot how his advisers could have been so stupid as to allow him to stand by his comments. There is an easy answer. The fish rots from the head.

Oh, I’m sure there was someone at the table, probably more than one, who told Romney that he should do just what he did: dismiss the phrasing, but stand by his comments.

Maybe because they see the world the way he does. Maybe because saying no to power is always harder than saying yes. But I’m equally sure that there were others who told him just the opposite: stop the bleeding; apologize; take it on the chin; eat some crow and try to turn it into a one-day story. There isn’t much new under the sun. In a campaign, at this stage, a lot of smart people are sitting around. There is rarely an option (much less an obvious one) that doesn’t get put on the table. And then the guy (or gal) who is in charge decides. And in deciding, he reveals himself.

I remember once, back in the 1988 campaign, then vice presidential candidate Lloyd Bentsen said something pretty stupid. I don’t remember what it was, and neither did anyone else a few days later because of how he handled it. I don’t make many mistakes, he said, but when I do, it’s a doozy. End of story.

Big guys have no trouble admitting mistakes.

Mitt Romney stood by his comments because he believes them.

He made them because of who he is. And who he is isn’t a person who can win a presidential election.

Wicwas Grange event was well run and well attended; thanks To the editor, We, the Democratic candidates for State Rep. from Meredith and Gilford, want to thank the members of the Wicwas Lake Grange in Meredith for holding the candidate forum Wednesday evening.

The event was well run and well attended and gave each candidate an opportunity to speak on issues of concern to local voters.

We hope there are additional similar opportunities in the next weeks before the election. All of us want to make our views known and meet the voters in the new House District 2 so people can make well-informed choices in November.

LETTERS UNH helping survey Alton residents for thoughts on school fix To the editor, It’s time to look for the Alton School District survey in your mailbox! This is not a piece of mail to be thrown away — it’s your chance to give your honest opinion about the various options to update Alton Central School. Look for “Alton School District” on the return address and take the time to fill out and return the survey — it should be arriving in your mailboxes the week of September 24-28 and should take only 5-10 minutes to complete.

This survey is the result of a lot of hard work and collaboration among the Alton School Board, the Buildings and Grounds Committee, the UNH Survey Center, and community members who provided valuable feedback and insight into what information the survey needed to gather. Having all of these groups working together has helped to create a survey that ensures all voices and perspectives are considered.

The purpose of this survey is to get current, accurate information from the community about the direction of our school facilities. The results will then help to guide the board in making the best possible decisions for the future of the building project. Here are a few key things you’ll need to know: The survey is due by October 5.

There is no cost to complete the survey or return it — you will simply fold the paper with the UNH address on the outside, tape it together and put it back in the mail.

All results are confidential — there is no way for anyone to know how you responded.

Each household will only get one survey, but if you have more than one adult (over 18) in your home who would like to fill one out, you can contact the Survey Center and they will send you another one.

The survey will be analyzed quickly — the UNH team is planning on attending the October 22nd School Board meeting with the initial results.

Thanks in advance for your willingness to be a part of this important process — your input is important to the current and future education of Alton’s children.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Bill Lander, superintendent, at blander@alton.k12.nh.us or at 875-7890 or Sydney Leggett, principal of ACS, at sleggett@alton. k12.nh.us or 875-0367 or you can contact the UNH Survey Center directly at Chad.Novak@unh.edu or 862-4858.

Fox News & C-Span did much better job covering conventions To the editor, Recently one of your readers headlined his letter “Don’t Watch Fox News”!

Obviously this reader is totally unfamiliar with Fox News or just doesn’t want to hear any news that is contrary to his beliefs.

Fox News is truly balanced — when there is a controversy, there is a split screen shown with both political parties represented with a moderator. Each can have his/her say and the viewers are asked to make up their own minds. This is fair. Make up your OWN mind. If you want the WHOLE story — both sides — watch Fox News. Their news stories are as long as needed — not just snippets.

Their schedule appears to be flexible so that if there is something going on at the moment, they stay with it and you get to see the entire story.

The reader is correct in that the main stream media ABC,CBS, and NBC are unfair — they are admittedly “in the

to offer any news to the contrary. They only show what they want you to see — never the whole story.

Did you try to watch the conventions on the main stream media? Didn’t happen. Fox and C-Span showed them both in their entirety — I thought C-Span did the better job. C-Span also has interesting programming that appears to be non-partisan. Q&A in the morning is informative.

When you tire of the vapid, mindnumbing programming of the main stream media, try some of these other stations and get other points of view.

One needs to be fully informed. The Wall Street Journal seems to me the best source of printed news.

May I remind everyone that we all should see the films “2016” and “The Last Ounce of Courage” — unfortunately only shown in Concord. What are these other theaters afraid of?

LETTERS I can recall when Nixon used his office to try & settle scores

I am a hardworking, constituent service-minded state senator

To the editor, I’m replying to Mr. Brown’s letter in Wednesday’s paper.

I didn’t put myself on a pedestal.

I’m not the one running for office and asking people to vote for me. And I’m not the candidate who amazingly says that “I am proof of transparency in my campaign. You can ask me any question, and I will give you a direct answer.”

I would be alarmed by this same consistent pattern of behavior if it was done by a Democratic candidate. Ethics and honesty are not partisan issues.

The things I listed before are facts on the record. As of today, Mr.Youssef still refuses to give a straight forward answer to them. Read the news articles in both Wednesday’s Laconia Daily Sun and the Concord Monitor.

For example, he says he has never

To the editor, I am pleased to let the voters of District 2 know that I will be participating in the following upcoming public forums hosted by very well-respected, non-partisan organizations: Oct. 1st, 8 a.m –10 a.m., Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, Beane Conference Center, Laconia Oct. 5th, 7:30 a.m.–9 a.m., Belknap County Economic Development Council, Taylor Community, Laconia Oct. 30th, 5:30 p.m.–7:30 p.m., NH Timberland Owners Association, Meredith Community Center, Meredith It is my hope that the Democratic candidate for the Senate District 2 seat will attend as well.

I am a much different type of candidate than my opponent — I come from Main Street, having served local communities and small businesses through economic development positions and as a town administrator. I have a strong, diverse history of community service, from my involvement with Community Caregivers to helping raise money for the Loon Preservation Committee, to serving on Meredith’s Capital Improvements Program Committee.

Another difference is that I believe that listening to voters while going door-to-door, attending public events and visiting the selectboards in District 2 is critical to understanding constituents. Campaigning isn’t about talking at voters — it’s about listening to their concerns so that I can work to best represent them, if I have the privilege of

missed a child support payment. But: he was not accused of that. The issue is that a judge found that he hid income so he could pay less than he owed. Mr. Youssef also says that several volunteers in Franklin signed and attached personal notes to his campaign fliers.

Yet as The Daily Sun article points out, to date there are “no reports of anyone in Franklin receiving a note” signed by anyone besides the phantom “Ken,” who has never been identified or come forward.

I’m old enough to remember the Watergate years when a president used his office to try to settle his personal scores and ran a campaign full of dirty tricks. I don’t think we want to see that in N.H. Werner Dietrich Laconia

Romney’s plan will slash investments in education & clean energy To the editor, Over the last 30 months, President Obama saw the creation of 4.6-million new jobs. In his next four years, economists predict businesses will create 12-million new private sector jobs. The president’s jobs plan will add more than one million jobs next year.

In his Democratic Convention acceptance speech, the president asked the country to support a set of firm goals in the areas of: manufacturing, energy, education, national security, and the deficit. Obama’s achievable plan will create jobs, expand opportunity, and create an economy that is solid.

In the Republican Convention, Gov-

ernor Romney spelled out goals that would slash investments in things like education, clean energy and research and reward companies that ship jobs overseas. He would also raise taxes on middle class families and small businesses to support further tax cuts for the rich. Romney’s embrace of the Ryan Budget will eliminate over a million jobs and shred the safety net for seniors, the sick, the young, and the poor.

President Obama stated that: “Our problems can be solved. Our challenges can be met. The path we offer may be harder, but it leads to a better place”.

Dr. Thomas Dawson Laconia

serving as their state senator again.

I am also a straight shooter. You know where I stand — no sales or income tax, keep taxes and fees in check and keep spending to only what we can afford. I take my responsibilities on the Senate Finance Committee very seriously, balancing our needs with our wants because we know we just can’t spend our way into prosperity. Prosperity and opportunity come, rather, through allowing our small businesses the freedom to create jobs. Reducing unnecessary regulations was a good first step.

Above all, I am a hardworking, constituent service-minded senator. That has and always will be my mission. When Northern Pass threatened to take away our private property rights I was there from the very beginning fighting to protect our lands. Through countless hours of meetings, hearings and time spent in the North Country, HB-638 passed with bipartisan support, making it unambiguously clear that private property rights are paramount here in New Hampshire.

Campaign season here in New Hampshire can sometimes be full of unfortunate posturing and game-playing. It seems to come with the territory. But let me assure you that with me, what you see is what you get. My record of service and fiscal responsibility speaks for itself and I look forward to talking more about my vision for a stronger New Hampshire whether it is at a forum or on your door step.

Jeanie Forrester Candidate for N H State Senate District 2, Meredith

Okay, let’s have a list of the ‘lies’ that Fox News has told to you To the editor, It seems Doctor Dawson hears and sees things that are not there. In his latest letter he tells us not to watch Fox News “because they lie”.

Okay doc, I’ll challenge you as I have challenged so many other liberal/pro-

gressives to give us a list of the “lies” told by Fox, and who specifically told that lie, and when. Readers, want to bet he can’t do it, will say something dumb like “there all lies” or we just won’t hear anything more about it or see next page

LETTERS Evidence growing that Type 3 can be called ‘brain diabetes’ To the editor, With the festivities and carnival of New Hampshire’s fair season underway comes disturbing news from medical research. We always knew it was stupid to eat fried Twinkies, corn dogs and slushy this or that, but evidence is mounting eating junk can make us the proverbial basket case. Some medical researchers call Alzheimer’s disease “Type 3 diabetes.” Some writers call it “brain diabetes.”

It is not hard to see why.

First, eliminate Type 1 diabetes from the discussion. It is an autoimmune disease unrelated to food, junk or otherwise.

Type 2 diabetes, however, usually results from fat-laden, sugary foods and obesity. It accounts for about 95-percent of all diabetes as we currently define the disease.

Among the effects of excess nutrients and weight on human biology, two are particularly germane to diabetes: — First, they impede the pancreas’s ability to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone (i.e., a chemical substance that controls and regulates cells and organs). It absorbs glucose from blood and delivers it where the body uses it to fuel organs such as the liver and muscles. Properly utilized by fat cells, glucose vitalizes the body.

— Second, they obstruct communication between organs needing glucose and the insulin that should deliver it.

Either way, underutilized glucose builds up in the blood stream. Excess glucose, diminished pancreatic function and cell-signal interruption are the hallmarks of Type 2 diabetes. The disease is the seventh leading cause of death in America and can cause catastrophic health problems in the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels.

Although researchers cannot say they have proof positive, they now suspect — and have considerable evidence supporting their suspicions — a similar process is ongoing in the brain.

The brain seems to produce its own insulin. As it does in the body, brainproduced insulin absorbs and distributes glucose throughout the brain and regulates cell function, including communication among cells.

The loss of cognitive skills from brain malfunction is, by definition, dementia. While severity and the course of development vary with individuals, the list of cognitive impairments associated with dementia is lengthy. It includes diminished ability to . . .

— Remember things, — Pay attention and stay on task,

— Apply reason and rational thought in decision-making, and — Process information received through the senses.

Alzheimer’s disease is the worst of dementia’s lot. Patients can lose their humanity and the ability to interaction with reality. “Basket case” may be politically incorrect, but it is reasonably descriptive.

Beta amyloid plaque is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Beta amyloid is a protein. When pieces of it clump, they form a sticky mass called plaque.

The plaque adheres to nerve cell endings and interferes with cell-to-cell communication. Recent experiments creating insulin insufficiency in rat and rabbit brains produced amyloid plaque.

As with all new knowledge, there is yin and yang in the implications.

First, the good news: if Alzheimer’s is Type 3 diabetes, the possibility of effective therapies is in the offing.

Even better, there is some evidence — admittedly not a lot — some treatments may actually begin to reverse dementia.

The possibility of effective therapy is not just good news for Alzheimer’s patients and the people who love and care for them, but for society as a whole. There are currently about 5.4-million people with Alzheimer’s in the United States. The 2011 cost was $130-billion.

These numbers are at the heart of the bad implication from the emerging knowledge. Since the early 1980s, the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes has tripled as the rate of obesity in America approaches 40 percent. If the cause of diabetes and Alzheimer’s is common, public health fears the prevalence of dementia will follow the diabetes trend line.

There is a logic (unfortunately) to the expectation an Alzheimer’s epidemic lags, but will follow, the diabetes trend line. A few years ago, physicians usually diagnosed Type 2 diabetes among people in their mid-40s. Since the late 1990s, however, the rate among teenagers has tripled. Today, about one in four American teenagers is either prediabetic or diagnosed. Alzheimer’s, on the other hand, usually does not manifest before age 60.

Public health estimates there are 98-million Americans with signs of insulin resistance. If Alzheimer’s is truly Type 3 diabetes, each of them is a candidate for dementia. If only a third develops Alzheimer’s disease, the annual cost to the nation would be $786-billion.

Robert Moran Meredith

Thanks Mr. Romney; I am part of the 47% and I need the money To the editor, Finally, Mitt Romney’s 2011 taxes have been released. Big deal and I wouldn’t even bother to check them from preceding page third, he will site opinions that differ from his and call them lies? It’s what they all do.

Steve Earle Hill

that closely as any mistakes are probably minor and would make little difference in his tax bill. He did pay about $1.9-million after donating $30-million, with a tax rate of 14.1-percent.

Good enough, no problem with that but the earlier returns would be interesting. I doubt we will ever see them but I’m sure they would be an accountant’s dream.

So, thanks Mr. Romney, as I am see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 25, 2012 — Page 9

LETTERS Want to know why state budget has increased so much? ‘Boots’ To the editor, During the terms of Governor Meldrim Thomson, FY 74 ($316,013,448), FY 75, FY 76, FY 77, FY 78, FY 79 ($530,603,268); the state budgets averaged about $423-million a year.

Adjusting each year, year by year, for inflation, and that total by the increase in population from about 1 million to about 1.3 million gives a total adjusted current state budget of about $2.5-billion a year. Adding the approximately $800-million in state funds now being given to local schools gives a total of about $3.5-billion a year of relatively necessary state spending.

If $3.5-billion is enough to run the state, how come the current state budget is $5.5-billion? Where does the extra $2-billion go?

A French proverb states, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.”

For example, in Europe, in the Fall of 1944, in WW II, the Army realized that the riflemen only had summertime boots. So the Army ordered sufficient LL Bean (warm and waterproof) “Maine Shoe Packs” to issue one pair to every riflemen, as the riflemen were never able to get in out of the weather at all, when they were “on line” which they almost always were. However for every 3,000 men who were riflemen there were 30,000 men in the various Army Headquarters Units in Europe. Some of the men in the Army Headquarters Units, all of them serving in complete safety, and only rarely exposed to the weather, also would like to have a pair of warmer boots, so of the 30,000 men in the headquarters units of the Army in Europe, 3,000 of them took a pair of nice warm boots, only one pair, but one by one, each took a pair, until all 3,000 pair of boots were gone, and none were left to issue to any of the riflemen. The men in Army Headquarters, “took care of themselves first”.

The results of the men in the Army Headquarters “taking care of themselves first” resulted in those who were riflemen having “trench foot”. “Trenchfoot” (basically a form of frozen feet) resulted in “gangrene” and in those days the only “cure” for “gangrene” was amputation, the amputation usually of both feet. In my division alone, on averages, every rifleman — every rifleman — had both feet amputated, along with another thousand riflemen who were their replacements also having to have their feet amputated. Because of those “non-Battle” losses, General Patton pulled each of our three regiments off line and gave his lecture to each in my division. He was furious (and if you would like to know what General Patton was like when he was furious, he was certainly impressive) that on averages, every rifleman in my division and 1,000 of from preceding page part of the 47-percent and I need the money. Somehow I don’t feel as lucky as I should, I guess, according to Ann Romney. So take your husband back if he can’t stand the heat. OR, don’t you remember his comments during the primary when his opponents complained about his negative ads?

Jon Hoyt Franklin

their replacements had unnecessarily become casualties from having had both feet amputated, He demanded, and demanded in words that left no room for being misunderstood, that our officers do the work necessary to have a dry pair of socks sent up to we riflemen every day. He did it in words that were effective. It was effective to the point that since then, at our division reunions, those who were our officers noticeably cringe at the mention of General Patton by name. On the other hand General Patton was, essentially, the only officer who “gave two hoots”, or cared about the well-being of those of us who were riflemen. From this you might understand that we who were riflemen for General Patton, “stormed the gates of Hell” for General Patton, in some cases little areas of the Siegfried Line changed hands something like 15 times before we finally held. We not only “stormed the gates of Hell” for General Patton then, if he were here to leads us we would do so again.

In the state, where do the extra $2-billion dollars go? Those in the state headquarters, agencies spend the money on themselves. In general those who have done so, have had no more compassion on the students at UNH, or the state citizens who are “too little to care about” than did their counterparts in the WW II Army Headquarters did with their “taking care of themselves first”.

Of the things that the various state agencies have done is to take the money awarded to their departments for a necessary use, such as keeping tuition costs at UNH low, and to use it to pay themselves salaries three times and up to even seven times more than the salary paid to the governor (On Tuesday August 14,2012; the Nashua Telegraph ran an article with the exact salaries of the many state employees who make more than the governor does).

Secondly the normal “span of control” is about 20 subordinates to one supervisor. However many of the state agencies have doubled up on supervisors to the point where they have supervisors with only two or three subordinates, resulting in dozens upon dozens of unnecessary supervisors. Between their excessive salaries and the excessive number of supervisors they have hired, they have spent, dollar by dollar, some $2-billion more in state spending than is needed to run the state. Those in the “headquarters” agencies have “taken care of themselves first”, in that respect, they have been just as callously indifferent to the well being of the students at UNH and the people of New Hampshire as were those in the Army Headquarters in Europe, were also callously indifferent to the well-being of we Riflemen, all those many, many years ago.

The problems with (excessive spending for themselves) can be corrected by taking care for whom you vote for in November. Enough of the $2-billion excess spending can be redirected (from those who spent it excessively on themselves), to reducing the tuition at UNH, and to other of the real needs of the people of the State of N.H. If you wish to help, make sure you vote in November.

LACONIA — While the New Hampshire Humane Society appreciates its supporters who contribute volunteer hours or donations of cash or materials, the non-profit organization has a special fondness for its corps of foster homes — residences which take in animals who, for one or another reason, need some time in a home setting before they can be permanently adopted through the shelter. While there are a dozen foster homes Marylee Gorham, development director at the Humane Society, can call to place cats, there are only two currently on the roster of canine foster homes — and she’d like to have more.

“It’s the best thing you can do,” said Gorham.

“You’ve helped that dog become whole again.”

When dogs are placed at a foster home, the DIRTY AIR DUCTS ARE A HEALTH HAZZARD

Gentle Care for All Ages

Humane Society retains ownership of the animal and will provide all necessary medical care. The fostering household is expected to provide the dog with food, toys and other accoutrements.

There are three general reasons why the New Hampshire Humane Society would place a dog in a foster home. In many cases, the animal might have a behavioral or psychological problem, aggression excluded, that could be corrected through careful and attentive training. For example, a foster home might work with a dog to address separation anxiety, fear of certain people or sounds, or a lack of socialization.

Sometimes, the shelter finds in its care an elderly dog that fails to attract the interest of potential adopters. “They tend to languish at the shelter,” said see next page

Smith Track closed for repair LACONIA — The Smith Track at Opechee Parlk will be closed until further notice beginning today, Tuesday, September 25 while stretches of the circuit are resurfaced.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, said yesterday that Tracklite Systems of Andover, Mass., the firm that originally installed and has since resurfaced the track will make the necessary repairs. He said that two or three repairs are required virtually every year, but never have there been so many failures in the surface. Dunleavy said that only the flawed sections of the track will be resurfaced, but explained that because the work can only proceed in dry conditions and at certain temperatures he hesitates to indicate when

it will be be complete. “The contractor assured me he can work through October,” he said.

Last month approximately a third of the track was closed following the discovery of numerous places where the running surface had “bubbled” as it parted from the underlying base.

The track had been resurfaced in August 2011. After examining and evaluating the track, the contractor concluded that moisture intruded and became trapped between the two layers breaking the bond between the asphalt base and rubberized surface, causing the latter to lift or “bubble.”

The entire track from just before the southeast curve to just beyond the sprint chute has been roped off.

from preceding page Gorham. In these circumstances, a foster home would serve as a comfortable and caring place for the dog to live out its remaining months.

And then there’s the case of dogs such as “Ivan,” a two year-old male thought to be a landseer Newfoundland, which came to the shelter as a stray picked up by a local police department. The dog has proven himself an escape artist, mastering the latches of his kennel at the shelter and learning how to open all the doors at the building. He was briefly adopted by a local family, only to injure his rear legs after jumping out of a second-story window of his adoptive home. That family returned the dog to the shelter, which cared for his injuries. However, he’s now wearing a green cast on a rear leg. “We would much rather he recuperate at a home,” said Gorham.

Ivan got that chance yesterday afternoon. The Allain family of Laconia, after registering with the Humane Society as a foster home, stopped by to see how “Ivan” would get along with their seven year-old Labrador mix “Jax.” The meet-and-greet went swimmingly, so mother Shannon and daughters Jocelyn and Jillian were pleased to bring welcome a new, albeit temporary, member of the family.

They planned to take him yard sailing, then to the Laconia High School homecoming parade, and on a family camping trip the following week. They already have a costume planned for Trick-Or-Treating. Along the way,

he’ll bond with his human caretakers and will learn proper behavior when in various settings.

“I’ve always said I was going to do it eventually,” Shannon said about fostering. “It’s something to do to help the dogs.”

Jocelyn, who was already enjoying “Ivan’s” company, admitted she would “probably” find it difficult to let her new dog go once his permanent home is found. However, her mother added, “We get a new one that needs us more than he does.”

Gorham, who has personally fostered a legion of dogs, said that while letting a fostered animal go can be “wrenching,” it is also validating to see an animal, which once was unadoptable due to one quirk or another, be taken home by a happy adopter. “It’s a really rewarding thing to know you’ve helped straighten out that twisted whisker and give the dog a happy life.”

In foster home candidates, Gorham looks for a safe and secure environment and people that are dog-savvy and will have the time and patience to work with the dog. The process includes an application and a home visit, though Gorham stressed that modest homes are as good as mansions. “We don’t care about where people live as long as you have a safe, secure home.”

Those interested in learning more about becoming a foster home should call Gorham at 524-3252 extension 309 or email her at marylee@nhhumane.org.

CHARTER from page 3 “As we were running the numbers, it became very clear ... that the funding just wasn’t there in terms of what the state had put aside for charter schools,” Raffio said. “It put us in an awkward dilemma because conceptually we think it’s the right thing to do ... but I didn’t want to put the founders of the proposed 15 new ones in a situation where things were approved and then state funding didn’t come through.”

Erdbrink was one of about 20 people who attended a strategy meeting Monday at the offices of a nonprofit group called Network for Educational Opportunity, which was set up under the state’s new education tax credit program. Under that program, businesses get tax credits for donating to scholarship funds that help children pay for private school tuition or home-schooling.

“It’s really about these parents and families who’ve created these amazing education options for their kids and communities,” said Kate Baker, the group’s executive director. “So to pull the rug out from under those families, that’s the error in judgment right there. ... They’re supposed to approve the schools based on merit, and then the Legislature is in charge of finding the money.”

Raffio, however, said the board made its decision very carefully, discussing it over the course of several months and checking with the attorney general’s office to confirm that its duties include evaluating the financial aspects of each application. Raffio said he has been receiving hundreds of emails a day from charter school proponents, and while he expects see next page

Center Harbor Police Chief Mark — Gail Ober Chase made the first contact with STUDENTS from page 2 to college in New Hampshire might give up their right to vote because of concerns about registering a car and getting a New Hampshire driver’s license even when they knew they would leave after graduation,” said Joan Flood Ashwell, election law specialist for the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire.

Republican House Speaker Bill O’Brien criticized the ruling, saying it takes away the rights of state residents by allowing non-residents to decide presidential, state and local elections.

“When individuals find themselves in New Hampshire and know they will leave, they should not vote here,” he said. “Legislating otherwise from the bench to say there are two classes of voters — all of us who reside in New Hampshire and those residents of other states who choose to vote here because we are a battleground state — is judicial activism of the worst sort.”

Noting that the legislation had the support of Secretary of State Bill Gardner, Senate President Peter Bragdon said it was unfortunate that the ruling made it easier for out-of-state residents to vote in New Hampshire.

PANDA from page 2 cubs are hairless, their eyes are closed and they’re about the size of a stick of butter. Their mothers weigh about 1,000 times more.

Native to China, giant pandas have long been the face of the movement to preserve endangered species. A few thousand are believed to remain in the wild, and there are a few hundred in captivity.

Four American zoos have pandas, and several cubs have been born in the U.S., but the bears at the National Zoo are treated like royalty. The zoo was given its first set of pandas in 1972 as a gift from China to commemorate President Richard Nixon’s historic visit to the country.

Thousands of people had watched an online video feed of the cub’s mother, 14-year-old Mei Xiang, hoping to catch a glimpse of the newborn during its few days of life. Fans from around the

country and the world shared their sympathy on social media sites, and many said they shared an emotional connection with the burly, black-andwhite bear.

Since the cub’s death, Mei Xiang has started eating and interacting with her keepers again. She slept Sunday night while cradling a plastic toy in an apparent show of maternal instinct, Kelly said.

Kelly Parsons of Alexandria, Va., who brought her two young sons to see the pandas Monday, said she felt for Mei Xiang.

“It sounds like the mom is in mourning. Whether you’re a parent to an animal or a human being, it’s just so sad, the loss of a child,” she said.

Suzan Murray, the zoo’s chief veterinarian, cautioned that while it may appear the panda is grieving as she cradles the toy, Mei Xiang is a wild animal and her thoughts and emotions are not well understood.

Mei Xiang’s only cub, a male named Tai Shan, was born in 2005 and became the zoo’s star attraction before he was returned to China in 2010.

Since his birth, there had been five unsuccessful attempts to impregnate Mei Xiang, and zoo officials had considered swapping her and her male partner, Tian Tian, for another pair.

from preceding page the October meeting to be “lively,” he doesn’t anticipate the board reversing its decision.

But, “if magically somehow the state came up with the additional funds, then we could definitely reconsider,” he said.

Wesley Woods files appeal of tax exemption decision to protect its legal position as talks with Gilford continue

By Michael Kitch

housing costs are supported by the Preachers Aid Society, which pays the NEDA $550 a month for three units, $676 for four units and $700 for one unit, based on the financial circumstances of the tenants.

Dyer stressed that the NEDA is registered as a charitable institution in both New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

In New Hampshire the organization is regulated by the Insurance Department and the Charitable Trust Division of the Department of Justice. Moreover, he said that the organization provides a public service by offering care and housing to the elderly. The rental income the NEDA receives, Dyer said, has no bearing on its charitable purpose and the ownership and operation of Wesley Woods does not generate a profit for the organization. At most, he noted, the NEDA would break even if the remaining 18 units at Wesley Woods were built and occupied.

The selectmen pointedly declined to explain their decision. But, town administrator Scott Dunn wrote to Reverend Herbert Taylor, president and chief executive officer of Deaconess Abundant Life Communities, an affiliate of the Methodist Church, to outline the town’s reasoning. He conceded that data presented

by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic indicated rents at Wesley Woods were less than market rents in Gilford, but noted that the calculation assumed that between 90-percent and 100-percent of the entrance fee required to secure a unit would ultimately be refunded. Since no fees have been refunded, the board found that they should not be discounted but included in the housing costs, making rents at Wesley Woods comparable to market rents.

Moreover, even if the entrance fees are refunded on the death or departure of the tenant, Dunn held that the financial arrangement failed to demonstrate a charitable purpose.

Instead, since the fees paid no interest to the tenant, he suggested that they represented interest free loans to the benefit of the NEDA. Finally, Dunn pointed out that the Preachers Aid Society reimburses the NEDA for the cost of housing the eight pastors at rates comparable to those the other tenants at Wesley Woods and insisted there was no evidence that the NEDA was providing charitable housing for them. In addition, The Preachers Aid Society paid the NEDA $185,000 to reserve the eight units, which was used to build them. Even if the money is refunded, Dunn said it represented an interest free loan to the NEDA.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The New England Deaconess Association (NEDA), the owner of Wesley Woods, a retirement community of single-family homes, has petitioned in Belknap County Superior to appeal the decisions of the Board of Selectmen refusing to grant the development an exemption and an abatement of property taxes.

Attorney Paul Fitzgerald, who represents the NEDA, said yesterday, that the petition was filed because state law stipulates that the denial of the abatement must be appealed by September 1. He said the NEDA and the town continue to seek a settlement of their differences and that the litigation would not proceed until those negotiations reached an impasse. “No one has rung down the curtain yet,” he remarked.

In appealing the denial of an abatement, the NEDA notes that in the tax year beginning on April 1, 2011, the town assessed the 22 residential units for $4,019,780, which was $1,596,280 more than the value of an appraisal commissioned by the association.

At the same time, the NEDA’s asked the court to find that it is a charitable corporation or institution entailed to a property tax exemption and to determine the appropriate value of the property so that a “payment in lieu of taxes” (PILOT) can be calculated in keeping with state law.

The dispute between began in 2010 when the NEDA requested an exemption from property tax as a religious institution (affiliated with the Methodist Church), which was denied. Earlier this year the NEDA renewed its request, claiming that as a charitable organization providing housing at less than market rents it is entitled to pay the town 10-percent of the shelter rent charged to residents or the town portion of the municipal tax rate, whichever is less. In 2011, Wesley Woods paid $73,119 in property taxes. In May, the board again denied the request on and in August reaffirmed its decision.

Attorney Rod Dyer, who represented the NEDA, contended that since the debt service on the units of $300,000 exceeds the rental income from the units of $182,000, a subsidy from the NEDA provides housing at below market rents. “If it were not for the continuing contribution provided by the NEDA, there is no possibility that the community would remain in operation,” he said. Furthermore, he noted that eight of the homes are occupied by retired pastors, whose

San Francisco set to OK apartments as small as U.S. record 220 square feet SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco may soon give new meaning to the word “downsizing.”

Supervisors are set to vote on Tuesday on a proposed change to the city’s building code that would allow construction of among the tiniest apartments in the country.

Under the plan, new apartments could be as small as 220 square feet (a little more than double the size of some prison cells), including a kitchen, bathroom and closet, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Current regulations require the living room alone to be that size.

Schematics for 300-square-foot units planned for San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood include window seats that turn into spare beds and beds that turn into tables.

Proponents say the smaller apartments would provide a cheaper option for the city’s many single residents, who have been priced out of the rental market as the region experiences a resurgent technology industry.

San Francisco apartments rented for an average of $2,734 in June, up 13 percent from a year ago, according to the research firm, RealFacts.

The micro-units, in contrast, are expected to rent for $1,200 to $1,500

a month, San Francisco Supervisor Scott Wiener told the Los Angeles Times. Wiener drafted the legislation for the smaller apartments.

It allows them to accommodate up to two people and requires an additional 100 square feet of space for each occupant above that number.

“Although in our fantasy world everyone would live in a single-family home or a huge spacious flat, the reality of life is that not everyone can afford that,” Wiener said.

But critics counter that the units wouldn’t help families and could boost population density, straining public transit and other city services.

“This has to be a pilot project and allow for further study before we end up like Singapore,” said Sara Shortt, executive director of the tenants’ rights group, Human Rights Committee of San Francisco.

Singapore authorities recently raised minimum dwelling sizes because of concerns about congestion.

Some critics want San Francisco to follow the example of New York City and first test a small number of the units. New York City’s micro-units also have a higher minimum-size requirement.

PROFESSOR from page one in the family’s Braintree home as she tried to unload her father’s gun. But the Alabama shootings prompted a new investigation and charges. David Traub, a spokesman for Norfolk District Attorney Michael Morrissey in Massachusetts, said Monday evening that Morrissey expects to make an announcement by the end of the week.

Bishop killed her boss, biology department chairman Gopi Padila, plus professors Maria Ragland Davis and Adriel Johnson. Associate professor Joseph Leahy, staff aide Stephanie Monticciolo and assistant professor Luis Cruz-Vera were shot and wounded.

Leahy said he was satisfied with the verdict and life sentence, but no amount of remorse by Bishop could change what she’d done.

“She has just sort of ceased to exist for me,” he told reporters after the brief trial.

A police investigator testified that Bishop initially denied having anything to do with the rampage. And during the trial, Bishop shook her head anytime the judge or prosecutors described the killings as intentional.

District Attorney Rob Broussard said Bishop’s reaction in court didn’t make sense.

“You can’t take a loaded 9 mm and hold it inches away from human beings’ heads and tell me you didn’t mean to do that,” said Broussard.

Investigator Charlie Gray also said police believe Bishop opened fire during the faculty meeting because she was angry over being denied tenure, which effectively ended her career at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

“She would say, ‘It didn’t happen. I wasn’t there. It wasn’t me,’” Gray said.

Bishop wore a red jail uniform in court and was shackled at the feet, seated between two attorneys at the defense table.

Also in court, sitting behind prosecutors, were relatives of the people killed in the rampage.

The only other witness to testify was Debra Moriarity, now the chairman of biological sciences at UAH. She testified about how a routine Friday afternoon faculty meeting turned into a scene of carnage with no warning.

Moriarty testified that Amy Bishop sat unusually silent during the nearly hourlong faculty meeting, during which discussions ran from a spring open house to plans for the following fall. People were seated around a crowded conference table in a small room on a chilly, overcast day, she said.

Moriarity said she glanced down at a piece of paper on the table. “And there was a loud bang,” she said.

Moriarity said more shots followed in quick succession without Bishop ever saying a word. Moriarity said she was looking directly at Bishop when she shot professor Maria Ragland Davis, who was killed instantly while still seated at the table.

Moriarity said she dove under the table for safety and tried to grab Bishop’s legs, but the woman stepped out of her grasp. “I was saying, ‘Stop, Amy, stop. Don’t do this. I’ve helped you before, I’ll help you again.’”

Moriarity said Bishop pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger, but nothing happened. She said Bishop continued trying to shoot her in a hall outside, but the gun had jammed.

BNH reports assets at record $1.12-billion & deposits of $879-million; Farley & Martin named corporators LACONIA — Bank of New Hampshire, the oldest and largest independent bank in the state, recently held its annual meeting of corporators and reported solid growth in deposits, loans and capital for the year ending June 30. K. Mark Primeau, president and CEO, reported that the bank’s assets now total a record $1.12-billion and deposits grew to $879-million. The bank continued to support thousands of New Hampshire families and businesses as the bank’s loan portfolio reached a record $759-million, which represents growth of 5-percent despite the slow economy.

Bank of New Hampshire remained strong with capital and reserves totaling over $130-million and its leverage capital ratio reached 9.26-percent.

“The bank is committed to continue to operate the bank prudently so that all of our customers can rely on a safe and secure local bank for their financial needs,” said Primeau.

In the past year, Bank of New Hampshire opened two new full services offices in Manchester and Rochester as well as a deposit taking, image enabled ATM in the Shaw’s Plaza in Tilton.

Primeau stated that the bank continued to focus on its local communities. “As New Hampshire’s local bank, we invested more than $650,000 in over 500 local community non-profit and civic organizations throughout the state. We believe strongly in giving

back to the communities we serve and our employees further demonstrate this dedication by contributing more than 10,000 hours of their time each year to a wide range of community activities. It is a key part of our mission and supports the health, vitality and quality of life in the many communities we call home.”

At the meeting, the bank elected four new corporators: George Bald, commissioner New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development, Concord; Shaun Farley, vice president and chief operating officer, Melcher & Prescott Insurance Agency, Laconia; Andrea Johnstone, senior vice president & general counsel, Elliot Health System, Manchester and Timothy Martin, president/CEO, Taylor Community, Laconia.

Bank of New Hampshire, founded in 1831, provides deposit, lending and wealth management products and services to families and businesses throughout New Hampshire. With 21 banking offices throughout New Hampshire and assets exceeding $1 billion, Bank of New Hampshire is the oldest and largest independent bank in the state. Bank of New Hampshire is a mutual organization, focused on the success of the bank’s customers, communities and employees, rather than stockholders.

Apple says more than 5-million iPhone 5s already sold NEW YORK (AP) — Apple Inc. said Monday that it sold more than 5 million iPhone 5s in the three days since its launch, fewer than analysts had expected.

Apple shares fell $9.30, or 1.3 percent, to close at $690.79 on Monday. The shares hit an all-time high of $705.07 Friday as the phone went on sale in the U.S., Germany, France, Japan and five other countries.

The sales tally is a record for any phone, but it beats last year’s iPhone 4S launch only by a small margin. Apple said then that it sold 4 million phones

in the first three days.

Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White expected Apple to sell 6 million to 6.5 million iPhone 5s in the first three days. He said the shortfall was largely due to limited supply. White said the phone was sold out at 80 to 85 percent of the U.S. Apple stores he and his team contacted Sunday evening, and the ones that were still available were mostly Sprint models.

Toothaches occur when the pulp (or “nerve”) inside your tooth gets irritated, infected, or damaged beyond repair. It is important for you to have a professional oral examination to determine the cause of the toothache.

Toothaches are caused by decay, infection in the pulp, gum disease, clenching or grinding the teeth (bruxism), and trauma to the tooth. Many conditions feel like a toothache, but in fact are caused by other things (such as sinus disease or angina). Your dentist will work through a program of diagnostic tests and x-rays to determine what is causing the pain. With a correct diagnosis, you can then discuss treatment options and decide on what treatment best fits your needs. A tooth that is sensitive to cold or sweets but does not have constant pain is often treated successfully with a filling, but a tooth that is sensitive to hot things or one with constant pain is usually not going to respond well to a filling. These teeth have irreversible damage to the pulp, and the pulp must be removed or the patient will continue to suffer. Extraction is one option, but many patients prefer to keep the tooth. That is made possible by root canal therapy and some restorative treatment delivered shortly thereafter.

Toothaches generally don’t get better without treatment, so if you get a toothache, seek help without delay. The best advice is to see your dentist on a preventative basis, since potential problems can often be detected BEFORE pain is a factor. That’s a smart way to avoid an emergency situation which is usually more costly.

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room will host The Burners: Gypsy Jazz Trio at 8 p.m. on Thursday, September 27. Admission is $10 and the event is BYOB. The Burners offer “a patented brand of Gypsy Americana played with fire and sweat.”

Virtuosic rhythms on acoustic guitar, mandolin and upright bass are complimented by cafe accordion, hot violin and harmonized vocals. Captivating lyrics, burning tempos, and diverse instrumentation define the band’s music. The crisp sonority of each song invokes yips, hollers and devilish dancing from audiences everywhere.

The Burners high-spirited, indie folk sound offers a flavorful stew of fiery, passionate and foot-stomping music.

The Burners formed in 2011 as a vehicle for guitarist and singer Ryan Flaherty, who had written a handful of tunes rooted in Americana and Gypsy Jazz styles. He began play-

ing these tunes with jazz and tango guitarist Mike Arciero and bassist Duane Edwards from Portland, ME. The mix of folk and gypsy styles became the backbone of The Burners original style. They released Flaherty’s first album “Hungry Moon” in 2011. Soon after accordionist Laura Balladur, vocalist Jennie Backstrom and violinist Phil Bloch came on board to round out The Burners sound.

On February 26 this year, the musicians recorded their album “Here Comes Everyone” in a matter of three hours at Acadia Studios in Portland, ME. The outcome was amazing. In a few hours the band had recorded a stellar live album that sounded like it had taken months to record. The band released the album the next month and it was accepted into Pandora Radio’s genome by the end of March, 2012.

Pooch Café LOLA

By Holiday Mathis your youth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Have you ever been accused of ruthlessness? It can certainly be a winning quality. As you buckle down for another determined endeavor, those around you sense the power of Mars surging through your efforts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You’ll grapple with that person who is uncomfortably in your life. There will always be something more to do in this relationship, so you may as well surrender yourself to its “work in progress” status.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As the old saying goes, the good ol’ days weren’t always good -- but it sure is easy to remember them as such when faced with today’s modern-day problem!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Given your current level of sophistication, you may wonder whether it’s still possible to have a day filled with beauty, poetry, innocence and carefree play. The moon in your sign makes it so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a different perspective now, but you still remember the naive emotional associations of your younger days.

Residual feelings from your childhood may sway the action.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25).

Your word is gold both in business and in your personal life. Because you put action behind what you say and honor your agreements, you’ll be given an honorable responsibility. Income picks up in November. December brings a romantic vow. March brings family together to celebrate. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 22, 39 and 13.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve created a life-enhancing habit. Because you put in the effort required to make an activity something you do automatically, what once felt like a duty is now more like a reprieve.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Sometimes good ideas are bad ideas turned inside out. Instead of accepting whatever is being presented to you, you’ll bend it in your mind, shaping the raw material into something that is useful to you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll feel yourself getting used to a change you made a few weeks back. It’s almost time to take the training wheels off in this regard. Let go and trust yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Anyone involved in your training and education will be impressed with how well you assimilate new information.

You will make the most of all instructions, improving as you go.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know where you stand with a partner. You’re well aware that you have strengths that compensate for the other person’s lesser strengths, and vice versa. You’re not indebted; the arrangement is mutually satisfying.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your willpower will be stronger than usual, but don’t waste it by allowing yourself to be bombarded with temptations and enticements. Go where you’re likely to experience peace and quiet, and you’ll accomplish something remarkable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll feel the tug of Saturn as you explore a relationship that has much to teach you. Early experiences of tenderness and love will affect your relationships, as will the less pleasant occurrences of

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 25, 2012

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Sept. 25, the 269th day of 2012. There are 97 days left in the year. The Jewish Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, begins at sunset.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 25, 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. (Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.)

On this date: In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean.

In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston.

In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. (Allen was released by the British in 1778.)

In 1904, a New York City police officer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette. (A male companion was arrested and later fined $2 for “abusing” the officer.)

In 1911, ground was broken for Boston’s Fenway Park.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colo., during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles.

In 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

In 1962, “The Longest Day,” 20th Century Fox’s epic recreation of the D-Day invasion, based on the book by Cornelius Ryan, had its world premiere in France.

In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego.

In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

In 1992, the Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the Red Planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993).

One year ago: Declaring they’d been detained because of their nationality, not their actions, Joshua Fattal and Shane Bauer, two American hikers held for more than two years in an Iranian prison, returned to the United States.

Today’s Birthdays: Broadcast journalist Barbara Walters is 83. Rhythm-and-blues singer Joe Russell is 73. Actor Josh Taylor is 69. Actor Robert Walden is 69. Actor-producer Michael Douglas is 68. Model Cheryl Tiegs is 65. Actress Mimi Kennedy is 63. Actor-director Anson Williams is 63.

Actor Mark Hamill is 61. Actor Colin Friels is 60.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 25, 2012— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: When I was little, my mother would insist, “I’m not your mother.” I’d be convinced and start to cry. Then she would say, “I’m just kidding.” As a 6-year-old, I was afraid of the vacuum. She unplugged it and told me it was OK to sit on it. When I did, she turned it on and scared me to death. When I was a teen, she said, “No one will ever want you.” When I reached my 20s, she told me I was an unwanted pregnancy.

My entire life, I’ve been the butt of her “jokes.” Any kindness from her comes with the price tag of putting up with her nastiness. Honestly, I feel bullied. Nothing I say or do is good enough. The days of expecting her approval are long past, and I know she will never give me the positive acceptance I crave. But where do I go from here? -- Grown Up Dear Grown Up: No stable person would play such sadistic practical jokes on her child. It’s possible this is the way your mother was raised or, just as likely, she suffers from some type of mental illness. Knowing this might help you respond to her sickness with a more distant compassion, instead of making it a reflection on you or your relationship. Please contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (nami.org) at 1-800-950NAMI (1-800-950-6264) for more information.

Dear Annie: I have recently been invited to a wedding where the only gifts requested were contributions to the honeymoon. Included in the wedding invitation was a card with directions for accessing the “Honeymoon Fund” website so I could make a donation. On the website were explicit instructions from the couple saying they’d like the donation made prior to the wedding so they could plan ahead. The website fund is broken down into specific items ($20 for breakfast in bed, $80 for a couple’s massage or $100 toward a down payment on a house). All I had to do was click “donate here.”

Am I old-fashioned, or is it still considered tacky to tell

your guests that you want money (and only money) and ask for it in advance? If I donate online, do I still give a card to the couple at the wedding?

I’ve asked a few younger people about this, and it sounds as if such things are becoming more commonplace. Please rush your answer so I can donate early. -- Bring Back Wedding Etiquette Dear Etiquette: Yes, it’s still tacky to tell your guests what to give you. Of course, bridal registries were created to make it easier for people to help the couple stock their new home.

And since many couples live together these days, they do not need sheets, towels or dishes, hence the honeymoon websites.

But a honeymoon used to be a personal, romantic gift from the bride and groom to each other. Aunt Mildred shouldn’t be paying for it. We say get them whatever you want.

Dear Annie. May I comment on “Undecided Mom,” who can’t decide what mementos to give her children? Give the kids everything.

I, too, saved our children’s report cards, notes to the teacher when they played hooky, school photos, Boy Scout and 4-H awards, everything. When the last one graduated from college, I made a scrapbook for each child. I captioned the photos and trimmed the newspaper clippings. Dates, occasions and names were handwritten below. The entire project took several months to complete, and it was a walk through memory lane and a labor of love.

It was their Christmas present that year. The looks on their faces were priceless. These scrapbooks are now among their most prized possessions and are shared with their friends.

They are still enjoying them 15 years later. Yes, there were a few embarrassing things included, but that was part of the fun. -- Burwell, Neb.

styles. Participants will learn how to create a personal vocabulary (poetry) and choreographic language (movement) by exploring relevant issues in their own lives and communities.

The spoken word material can serve as inspiration for creation of a dance piece, and the resulting collaborative work can be shared at the end of the workshops; some participants may also wish to present their work at the public performances.

The poetry workshops will be led by Tu Phan, a student at Northeastern University; his poetry, inspired by hip hop, rap, and satirical, historical and spiritual literature, focuses on socioeconomic, environmental and political concepts. Dance workshops will be led by Anna Myer (“a master choreographer who is always full of surprises and new ideas”) and company members Adriane Rayton and Karina Davis. Adriane trained at the Boston Arts Academy and Connecticut College and Karina, a hip-hop dancer, studied at the Alvin Ailey School and Williams College.

No experience in the artforms is required. Those interested can contact
