MEREDITH — Regional land use board members and water-front land owners packed into the Meredith Community Center Monday night in hopes of better understanding the new laws regarding shore front uses. Whether they came away with a better understanding of the now-named Shore Land Water Quality Protection Act is in question but the issue of local control was foremost on their minds and the news is, it’s still there. It was Local Government Center Atty. Cordell Johnson who asked the $64,000-question at the presentation that included Department of Environmental Services staff members: “Do municipalities still the legislative authority to plan and regulate water as a natural resource?” According to Kimon Koulet, the executive director of the Lakes see sHORe page 8

Actress booted off airliner says offending kiss was ‘brief & modest’; Southwest says lesbian couple was swearing when told to cut it out
DALLAS (AP) — It was cursing — not kissing — that got a lesbian actress and her girlfriend escorted off a plane as it sat at a Texas airport, Southwest Airlines said Tuesday. The airline said the couple became profane after being reprimanded for what actress Leisha Hailey characterized as “one modest kiss.” Hailey immediately used her Twitter account to accuse the airline of discrimination and call for a boycott. Hailey is best known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the now defunct Showtime lesbian life drama “The L-Word.” The incident cast a national media spotlight on the actress, who is now part of the electro-pop duo Uh Huh Her. Halley’s publicist Libby Coffey said the encounter was real and was “absolutely not” done as a publicity stunt for her band’s upcoming breast cancer awareness tour. Hailey and partner Camila Grey also denied in a statement Tuesday that the affection they showed toward each other was inappropriate. “We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one modest kiss,” the written statement said. “We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple.” The airline responded that Hailey’s display of affection was excessive and drew customer complaints, and that the women cursed after being reprimanded. “Additional reports from our employees and customers onboard Flight 2274 during a stop in El Paso on Sunday now confirm profane language was being used loudly by two passengers,” the airline said. “Although we have reports of what customers characterize as an excessive public display of affection, ultimately their aggressive reaction led to their removal from the aircraft.” see KISS page 9 Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com

Survey finds health insurance costs surging INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The cost of employersponsored health insurance surged this year, snapping a trend toward moderate growth, but experts say these increases may slow again in 2012. Annual premiums for family coverage climbed 9 percent and surpassed $15,000 for the first time, according to a report released Tuesday by the Kaiser Family Foundation and the Health Research and Educational Trust. Premiums for single coverage rose 8 percent compared to 2010. That compares to increases last year of 3 and 5 percent for family and single coverage, respectively. The study shows that premiums for both family and single coverage have more than doubled since 2001, while worker wages have risen 34 percent. Kaiser CEO Drew Altman said a number of factors may have played a role in this year’s percentage jump. He noted that health care costs continue to
Markets soar with nice words about Greece from Germany BERLIN (AP) — Stock markets soared around the world Tuesday amid hopes that Europe is finally finding a way out of its debt crisis. Greece passed an unpopular property tax and German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to offer the struggling country “all necessary assistance.” It’s unclear whether that will be enough to satisfy investors for long. Stocks improved following last week’s turmoil as speculation grew that Greece’s bailout creditors will look to impose bigger losses on Greece’s private bondholders as well as recapitalize Europe’s banks and expand the eurozone’s rescue fund. So far, there’s been no confirmation from Europe’s capitals that such a comprehensive solution is being planned. Financial markets closely watched a meeting

between Merkel and Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou, but neither announced any new measures ahead of their private dinner at Berlin’s chancellery on Tuesday evening. “Through the euro, we are closely bound together, and the weakness of one affects us all,” Merkel said at a news conference. Germany, Europe’s biggest economy, is seen as a key player in resolving the 17-nation eurozone’s debt crisis, but Merkel’s government has repeatedly been accused over the past 18 months of being a reluctant leader of the rescue efforts. Speaking earlier Tuesday alongside her economy minister, Philip Roesler, Merkel reiterated her conviction that there is no quick solution, saying the crisis must be dealt with “step by step.” see next page

rise, and insurer profits and the health care overhaul also have some impact. The overhaul, which Congress passed last year, aims to eventually cover millions of uninsured people. Kaiser said initial provisions of the law contributed between 1 and 2 percentage points to this year’s premium hikes, which is about what many insurance analysts and benefits experts expected. Companies and workers split premiums for employer-sponsored coverage, the most common form of health insurance in the United States, and employers generally pick up 70 percent of the bill or more. Businesses likely reacted to these cost increases by giving a smaller raise or no wage increase to their workers, said Helen Darling, CEO of the National Business Group on Health, a nonprofit organization that represents large employers on health care issues. see HEALTH INSURANCE page 10

MONEY from preceding page wrote to his email list Tuesday while he personally pressed donors in New York to pony up. The candidates’ own cash is just part of the picture because, this year, outside groups are allowed to raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to back specific candidates. And allies of Romney, Perry and Paul all have formed so-called SuperPACs to help their preferred candidates win the nomination. That money aside, Romney is likely to post the strongest fundraising numbers, although his spokeswoman, Andrea Saul, said he’ll raise “considerably less” than he did between April and June, his first fundraising quarter as a presidential candidate. In that period he reported gathering $18 million. Perry donors claim he could hit $10 million, raised since he entered the race early last month. His advisers, however, dispute that. They’re lowering expectations either so Perry’s haul looks more impressive when it’s announced, or it’s an indication that the GOP front-runner hasn’t seen a flood of money accompany the huge dose of enthusiasm he initially generated. Paul’s campaign asked supporters to celebrate the Texas congressman’s Aug. 20 birthday with a donation — and they gave him $1.6 million on that day alone. It’s a pattern for Paul, who can seemingly turn on the money spigot when he needs to; his loyal libertarian backers have delivered like that on five occasions, to the tune of a million or more at a time. The rest of the field lags far, far behind. Jon Huntsman, the former Utah governor who is in the single digits in most state and national public opinion polls, recently had to write himself a half-million dollar check to keep his campaign afloat. Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann spent so much money in Iowa in August to win a statewide test vote that her web videos look more amateurish than professional now. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is still mired in debt. Herman Cain, the former pizza company executive, has loaned himself hundreds of thousands of dollars so he can keep running. And Rick Santorum’s team acknowledges that the former Pennsylvania sen-
Mass. man who washed his truck while nude gets probation ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — A man who scrubbed his pickup truck in the nude at a Massachusetts car wash has been sentenced to a year of probation. Robert E. Bailey, of Cumberland, R.I., pleaded guilty on Monday to open and gross conduct for being naked at Economy Car Wash in North Attleborough on May 31. The Sun Chronicleeports that a woman vacuuming her vehicle at the business called police after she saw the 65-year-old Bailey in the nude. Police say Bailey was wearing shorts by the time they arrived at the scene and denied doing anything wrong. A judge also ordered Bailey to stay away from the car wash and the witness and to continue counseling. He will also be required to register as a sex offender.
Salem gas station attendant accused of taking $20,000
SALEM, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire gas station attendant has been accused of stealing $20,000 from the business and stashing the money in his bathroom medicine cabinet and in a ceiling. Fifty-nine-year Abul Azad has been charged with felony theft. The Eagle Tribune reports he was arraigned Monday. Azad worked at a BP station in Salem. Police were called to the station recently for a report of two men arguing. They found the owner arguing with Azad. The station owner told police he received a text message saying Azad was leaving the store with a large amount of cash in his pocket. Police said the employer confronted Azad at his apartment and retrieved $10,000 from the medicine cabinet. Police said Azad later gave them another $10,000, which was stored in his ceiling.
ator is barely scraping by. All of these second- and third-tier candidates are trying to prove that they are still viable while trying to gather enough cash to pay for polling and advertising to push them through the pack. That’s only going to get harder. Campaign fundraising is timeintensive and expensive. It limits time candidates can spend with voters. The meetings are private, limiting a candidate’s ability to earn “free media” from news coverage. “Listen: Money will always follow a message and a winning candidate. When you’re out there moving up in the polls, you’re going to be able to raise more money. That’s just the way the way the system works,” said Huntsman, who has contributed at least $2.5 million of his own cash since entering the race in June. He also has a SuperPAC backing him, though it’s unclear just how much it’s collected. Bachmann, too, has help from an outside organization. And it looks like she’s going to need it. Early on, the tea party favorite built a base of small but repeated donors. But she’s faced the challenge of pair-
ing that network with people willing to chip in the $2,500 maximum. And, unlike some of her rivals, she doesn’t have the big roster of fundraising consultants who specialize in raising big bucks. A huge investment in Iowa last month resulted in victory at an early test vote in the lead-off caucus state. But she fizzled out after that as Perry eclipsed her in state and national polls. GERMANY from preceding page Greece must receive an €8 billion ($11 billion) rescue loan before mid-October to stave off bankruptcy, a collapse that would send shock waves through markets around the world. But creditors have demanded more efforts to raise revenue. In response, Greek lawmakers approved a controversial new property tax Tuesday evening, passing it 154-143 in the 300-member parliament. The levy, in addition to public-sector reforms announced earlier, is expected to make up for lagging revenues this year by providing more than €2 billion ($2.76 billion), or about 1 percent of Greece’s annual gross domestic product.

Paying for middle class entitlements To what are Americans entitled? Government-guaranteed health coverage in old age? Governmentguaranteed health coverage at any age? Subsidized housing if they’re low income? Subsidized food? Subsidies for growing wheat but not making shoes? Subsidies for homeowning? Answer these questions, and we may end the budget deficit crisis. The reluctance to properly label entitlements as such has created the widespread illusion that what government spends on others is “welfare” and what’s spent on us is our due. Time to decide what we really want — and pay for it. The great entitlement-spending hole is Medicare, the government health plan for the elderly and disabled. Contrary to popular belief, most middle-class beneficiaries haven’t “paid for it” through their payroll taxes and other contributions. A typical couple retiring in 2020 will have paid $100,000 in lifetime Medicare taxes but will receive about $500,000 in scheduled benefits over the premiums they pay into the program, according to tax-policy expert C. Eugene Steele. Put another way, nearly 40-percent of Medicare’s funding comes from general revenues, which means income taxes. That makes Medicare a government program that — to be blunt in the conservative style — transfers wealth from the productive class to retirees. If Medicare served only the poor, many politicians would refer to it as welfare without hesitation. Sure, Medicare’s soaring costs must be contained. But tremendous sums can be saved within the program by addressing the way doctors are paid. The new health care reform law starts that ball rolling. But even though the reforms would reduce projected cost of Medicare, we will still need more tax revenues to preserve the program as we know it for growing numbers of older people. If Americans want a voucher system that spends a lot less on Medicare and basically brushes the elderly off onto private insurers, they can have it. In fact, the Republican-run House has already voted for one. There are other middle-class enti-
tlements. Take out a home mortgage, and you can subtract your interest payments from taxable income. (By the way, Canada doesn’t allow for such deductions, and its level of home ownership is close to ours.) The higher your income, the more valuable the tax break. Meanwhile, the taxes you save must be made up by others — people who rent their homes, don’t have mortgages or don’t itemize on their tax returns. The biggest farm subsidies go to wealthy investors. Call that a form of welfare, and its defenders will find a salt-of-the-earth farmer to insist that he’s not on welfare — he’s producing something. But American toy companies make things, too, and they’re not getting government checks because global toy prices have dropped (or even when they have risen). That’s not to say that we don’t want some of these entitlements. The deduction for mortgage interest should be kept for struggling middle-class homeowners, at least for now. But we could start phasing it out on mega-mortgages approaching $1-million. Some programs for the poor are essential to maintaining a humane society, but others may be inefficient or socially counterproductive. Look at them, too, but bear in mind that they are not the big kahuna of entitlement spending. Medicare is, and if Americans want it to retain something resembling the first-class coverage now offered, they will have to pay more in taxes. Let the games begin on who will do the paying, but be mindful that the reckless tax-cutting of the George W. Bush years has helped send federal tax revenues to historic lows relative to the economy. And the recent dramatics over asking anyone to pay $1 more in taxes are about little more than this: forcing America to dismantle the king of middle-class entitlements. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
How much of your paycheck do they want? Honestly, all of it! To the editor, Just as one shouldn’t take on the label another applies to them, one need not join in responding to their conversation. So very many have condemned our efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan; early on an account of the death toll was kept front page. Something happened along the way; the general public didn’t respond to the media negativity. Unlike Vietnam, they weren’t able to create monsters out of the soldiers fighting there. After
9/11, Americans woke from a long sleep and realized they’d slept too long. The military we have is all voluntary, the men and women believe what they are doing is for the good of their loved ones, country and the countries of the world. The majority of our nation respect them and their belief and stand behind them. Oh, yes, we have heard some negativity, but it hasn’t diminished our respect. Their belief is real enough that they stand see next page
LETTERS Perhaps Ray was being facetious, which is best one could hope To the editor, Ray Corliss deserves some sympathy, I fear, for having nothing else to do on a Saturday afternoon other than become absorbed in a CSPAN presentation on the Tea Party. Although, I’m not so sure that he wasn’t watching MSNBC. If Ray’s recounting of the show is “right on”, then there wasn’t anything whatsoever that was factually presented. Either that or Ray is a prime example of the sort of blatantly, bigoted rhetoric and ill mannered balderdash that has been consistently streaming from the Congressional Black Caucus and certain Democratic congressmen and women. His September 21st letter states they were “lily white, mostly middle aged, diverse as the KKK and not a Christian in the lot”. Perhaps Ray was just being facetious, which is the best one could hope for. At the worst, he is the hypocritical pot calling the kettle black. He claims that he saw “hate and bigotry in their bloodshot eyes”. Hey Ray, you might want to check out Lloyd Marcus, proud unhyphenated American and Tea Party Patriot. He is one of a host of proud, black Americans who believes the Tea Party is more in tune with helping blacks out of pov-
erty in comparison to the NAACP, The Congressional Black Caucus and the faux civil rights leaders, the Reverend’s Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who they feel have become largely irrelevant. Of course, Congresswomen Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee would disagree. They think people like Lloyd Marcus, Allen West, Tim Scott, Deneen Borellli and dozens of other conservative blacks are just sellouts to whitey or Uncle Toms. Ray is correct that it is not yet Halloween, but his letter is indeed very scary, a real thriller. So, here’s a big BOOO right back atcha. Sorry Ray, but I’m hoping your line of thinking is “not a graveyard smash and doesn’t catch on in a flash”. Oh and perhaps we should all say a prayer that somehow, some way, someone will be able to exorcise the demons that have apparently infected Ray’s intellectual gray matter, possibly due to over exertion from doing the “Transylvania twist”. It would seem George Soros doesn’t have a corner on the “spooky dude” market after all. If someone who thinks like Ray arrives at my door, I’ll just assume that Bobby “Boris” Pickett sent em.

GOP candidates stood silent as audience booed a U.S. soldier To the editor, After what just happened at a Republican debate, Mr. Earle, I felt a need to write and ask your opinion on this and to see if maybe this changed your opinion of the Tea Party/Republican party’s inappropriate behaviors. On September 22, at this debate, Rick Santorum was asked his opinion on “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” finally being gone. His response was that this needed to be reinstated and DADT should come back into play. A video message from a SOLDIER IN IRAQ who was finally able to admit he was gay and serve openly had been played. The crowd booed this soldier but not one single Republican candidate on that stage said a word in his defense. Now this makes me wonder what kind of hypocrites these people are. They claim to be patriotic but would stand by and allow people to boo a man over in Irag fighting for the very
liberties and freedoms they want and putting his life on the line for them and not say a word. I also think those those individuals who did the booing are just as bad. That was disgusting to watch! It doesn’t matter a single bit how you feel about gays and lesbians. But when they are in the military fighting for The United State of America they deserve RESPECT. I will give Rick Santorum the benefit of at least saying, the next day, he was ashamed that people booed this SOLDIER. In my opinion if these candidates can’t even stand up and say that the very people dying and fighting for us should be respected regardless of their sexual orientation then these are not people I could vote for or have any respect for.

LETTERS Let’s understand difference between conflict of interest & bias To the editor, In response to recent commentary on Gilford Budget Committee members, I think there are a few others that need to be mentioned. Mr. Dormody’s wife, as the director of the Gilford Library, is compensated with a salary and benefit package amounting to over six figures and over 25-percent of the total library budget. As well, Mr. Dormody’s business hosts and maintains the library’s web site. I am sure that the web site development went through a thorough competitive bidding process. Mr. Roy’s wife is employed as a teacher by the Gilford School District. Ms. Mello-Andrews is married to a fulltime member of the Gilford Fire Department and she is an on-call member of the Gilford Fire Department. Gilford is not the only town to encounter these sticky situations. Some towns in New Hampshire have adopted a conflict of interest ordinance. Most of them have language to the effect ‘It is in violation of this code for any elected or appointed official to: In his or her official capacity, introduce, discuss, deliberate, approve or vote upon any matter in which he or she or any member of his or her family has an interest known to said member. The New Hampshire Local Government Center has also weighed in on the topic and stated: The general rule is that a conflict of
interest requiring disqualification will be found when an official has a direct personal or pecuniary (financial) interest in the outcome. That interest must be “immediate, definite and capable of demonstration; not remote, uncertain or speculative.” Atherton v. Concord, 109 N.H. 164 (1968). The LGC also goes on to explain when a bias would exclude an official from voting. This would only happen in the situation of a quasi judicial event such as a zoning board or a planning board hearing on a particular case. To me it seems pretty clear that Leandro and Horvath may have a bias but not a conflict of interest but Dormody, Roy and Ms. Mello-Andrews have a conflict of interest and should recuse in those matters where they have a financial stake. Namely Dormody on the library budget, Roy on the school budget and Ms. Mello-Andrews on the fire budget. One more point to make on bias. Bias may be a valid reason for electing someone to a particular position. If we have a Budget Committee member who has publicly stated that the school district overspends how could that ‘bias’ exclude them from voting on the school budget. That is why they were elected!

Commissions policy on grant applications has no legal standing To the editor, The Belknap County Commission now has an issue regarding grant acceptance. The only problem is when the Convention shall get involved. In a letter of May 27, 2009, Alida Millham, chair, expounded the position of the Belknap County Convention. The commission gives permission for the grant’s application and if awarded “there will be a meeting of the Convention to authorize the spending of the grant money.” The law clearly states an appropriation means an amount of money authorized for a specified purpose by the legislative body. What if, the Convention does not agree with the purpose and does not appropriate the money? The commission developed its Grant Policy on November 17,2010, to allow the sheriff to comply with the grant’s requirement. In fact, some innovative accounting took place just prior to the proposed budget being submitted to
the convention. Then, on February 9, 2011, in spite of the fact the policy was not followed, “Commissioner Philpot asked for a motion to support the grant application as presented by Superintendent Ward. M/Thomas, S/ Nedeau who will support but reiterated that the process needs to be handled different in the future. All unanimously agreed with that statement. Unanimous. Motion carries.” Why the big brouhaha over the Belknap County Attorney’s grant award? The fact is the commission’s policy has no legal standing. The law only empowers the appropriating authority to create such a policy; “the county convention may adopt a policy regarding the acceptance of grants”. However the Convention has not done so. Furthermore, grant rules require the appropriating authority to approve the application; selectman, council, or county convention. The county may contract for or see next page

City ramps up effort to collect boat fees locally LACONIA — In an effort to recoup revenues from boat registrations siphoned by the state, the City Council this week approved the request of City Clerk Mary Reynolds to become boat agent, authorized to process registrations and collect fees. For some years the state and its municipalities have wrestled over the proceeds from boat registrations. Since 2006, when the city collected $117,000, receipts from boat registrations have plummeted 45-percent to $64,495 in 2010. The competition for the boat fees stems contradictory statutes governing their collection and distribution. Two fees are collected. The registration fee, ranging from $17 to $51 according to the length of the vessel, and the boat fee, which varies from $10 to $1,761 with the type, length, engine and age of the vessel. Both fees may be collected either by the state or its agents, generally municipalities or marinas. In Laconia, Irwin Marine, Thurston’s Marina, Channel Marine,
Paugus Bay Marina and Lakeport Landing are agents. All the proceeds of the registration fee, apart from a processing charge, are deposited with the state. Like the registration fee, the boat fee can be collected either by the state or its agents. But, unlike the registration fee, boat fees collected by agents, either municipalities or marinas, are deposited with the municipalities. Only when boats are registered directly with the state are the proceeds from boat fees kept by New Hampshire Department of Safety to fund the Marine Patrol. Reynolds said that for three years the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles, which authorizes boat agents, refused to consider her application before accepting it this year. She expected that the clerk’s office, along with the five marinas, would reverse the decline in proceeds from boat registrations, especially since the Department of Motor Vehicles closed its office at the Belknap Mall. She urged local boat owners to register with the city or one of its agents to ensure the city of a share of the revenue.
from preceding page accept grants of federal or state aid or both in connection with any project for which the county may incur indebtedness and, after their receipt, such grants shall be expended according to the terms under which they are received or used to pay indebtedness incurred. If a grant purpose is acceptable to the commission, it must propose the expenditure to the Convention; for a specified purpose, a specific sum of money and the specified source of revenue to offset encumbrance upon award of the grant. Saying no thanks after an award is unacceptable and unfair to others who apply and are denied due to lack of funds. After the award letter is in hand, it’s the county treasurer upon the order of the commissioners with the approval of the executive committee of the County Convention may incur indebtedness in anticipation of the receipt of such aid (money) by issuing its note. However, this can only be done with
an appropriation. Nothing can be construed to authorize the appropriation of any money in a manner which is inconsistent with laws relating to appropriations of money by counties. Please read the commission “online” minutes for September 8. 2010, page 2, Nov. 3rd and the 17th. Remember the application event is for FY 2010. However, try to find the $5,000 GRANT appropriation or expenditure YTD in the FY 2011 Budget? The DOS 07 HS Grant application state as follows; I. In order to begin planning your exercise or incurring bills related to the exercise, you must first have the award letter. II. Budget Request. Overtime and backfill costs associated with the design.

Juries selected for 2 high profile trials BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After a nearly threehour selection process, jurors were picked Monday in Belknap County Superior Court to decide two of the area’s most high-profile recent criminal cases. One jury will hear the case of 28-year-old Michael Carpenter-Noucas, one of the three people police alleged to be involved in a botched armed robbery at a Meredith home in the summer of 2010 that resulted in the stabbing death of another man. A second jury will hear the case of Christopher Kelly, 34, who is one of two people police say triggered a ninehour standoff on Union Road in Belmont in September of last year. Carpenter-Noucas is charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary. Free on bail, he sat stone-faced wearing a black suit and tie next to his lawyer Andrew Winters while one-by-one prospective jurors were either seated on the jury or privately told lawyers from both sides and presiding Judge James O’Neill why he or she couldn’t or shouldn’t sit on the jury. The state contends that he went with the late Robert Hart of Laconia and his former fiancee Julie Sallies to a Lake Street apartment armed with a baseball bat and/or a knife with the intent of robbing the occupants. The victim was allegedly able to
turn the tables on his would-be robbers and disarm both Carpenter-Noucas and Hart, stabbing Hart to death and slashing the throat of CarpenterNoucas. Sallies has already pleaded guilty to her involvement and is in the N.H. State Prison for Women. She is scheduled to testify at Carpenter-Noucas’s trial. Kelly faces one count of criminal restraint, one count of resisting arrest and one count of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. He is incarcerated in the N.H. State Prison. Represented by Atty. Mark Sisti, he frequently smiled and made eye contact with his girlfriend Alisha Morgan, who sat in the gallery watching the proceedings. Morgan was initially charged with hindering Kelly’s apprehension but her case was dismissed by Judge Edward “Ned” Gordon. A third person, Diamond Morrill, 21, of Gilford was in Morgan’s home and is facing three counts of reckless conduct for allegedly firing a gun at police during the standoff. She was convicted in district court for endangering the welfare of a child and resisting arrest and is appealing those verdicts along with her felony charges. No court date has been set for her trial and it is not known if she is scheduled to testify at Kelly’s trial. As of Monday afternoon, both trials are scheduled to begin Monday Oct. 3.

Inter-Lakes board now unanimously behind effort to create strategic plan for school district BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — Although some initially expressed doubt that the exercise was worth the effort, the Inter-Lakes School Board voted unanimously last night to contract with a consultant to help develop a strategic plan for the school district. Strategic plans have played a role at several points in the district’s history and have resulted in developments such as the Middle Tier grade grouping. When the idea was brought up at an earlier meeting, though, not all board members were convinced that there was a need to undertake such an effort and the proposal was tabled. The initiative was given new life at last night’s meeting, though, as board members voted without dissension to hire Dr. George Ladd, at an estimated cost of $5,000, to facilitate the effort. Part of the process will include the creation of a steering committee comprised of community members. Board Member Carol Baggaley said her initial reluctance was reversed after speaking with members of the community. “I feel like I’m ready to go forward with this... I am much more open to it.” The process will begin later this year. Prior to the board’s discussion of the issue, Meredith resident Mark Billings urged the board to consider developing the plan. “I am hugely in support of this initiative.” He referenced the looming possibilSHORE from page one Region Planning Commission, the short answer is, “Yes.” “There is no override of town ordinances,” he said yesterday during a telephone interview. “Everything the town has has been maintained.” Darlene Forst, an environmentalist and biologist with the DES, said there was some initial confusion about local authority when the new SWQPA became effective on July 1, but the DES’s position is that the new changes will have “no impact whatsoever” on a community’s ability to pass more stringent local

ity for significant changes to the way the federal and state governments approach education, likening them to tectonic plates moving beneath the school district. “Think about the ground moving beneath our feet,” he said. NOTES: Superintendent Phil McCormack said a press release from the Obama administration alluded to the possibility that New Hampshire could relieve itself of the provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind law, providing the state holds itself accountable to the law’s original intentions of improvement and accountability. “You’d like to think rational thinking would prevail at some level,” he said, observing that the law’s initial wording contained fatal flaws that were never corrected through amendments. . . . . . The board reaffirmed its support of shared athletic programs with Moultonborough Academy, an arrangement which includes football, spirit (cheerleading), ice hockey and cross-country. . . . . . McCormack reported that former athletic director Anne Galligan received an award from the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association for advancement of women’s sports. . . . . . McCormack also briefed the board on the beginnings of the 201112 budget-building process, in which he instructed administrators to propose budgets with a priority on maintaining the present quality of education without asking for additional programs or staff.
ordinances. “In fact, we encourage individual communities to develop and adopt their own standards,” she said. According to the NHDES Website, “the SWQPA (RSA 483-B), originally called the Comprehensive Shoreland Protection Act (CSPA) was enacted into law in the 1991 session of the Legislature. The act established minimum standards for the subdivision, use and development of the shore lands along the state’s larger water bodies. “In April and July of 2008, the act was amended and several changes took effect including limitations on impervious surfaces, new vegetation maintenance requirements and the establishment of a permit requirement for many, but not all, construction, excavation and filling activities within the protected shore land.” “Most importantly,” said Forst Monday night, “The (2008 Act) required a permit from the state.” According to Koulet, the 2011 change is that landowners have a right to do what they want with their property as long as it meets the minimum standards set by their community land use boards and the NHDES or “a permit by right.” see next page

4 mowers stolen from Gilford landscape company GILFORD — Police are investigating the theft of equipment worth about $11,000 from Belknap Landscaping Company’s fleet maintenance facility at 160 Lily Pond Road last Saturday night. Detective Sergeant Kris Kelley said that a video surveillance camera captured images of three men taking four mowers and a trailer between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. The three were operating from a dark
colored pickup truck with an extended cab . Two walk behind mowers — a Husqvarna and an Exmark — and two push mowers were placed on the trailer bearing a plate reading “BLC11” and a placard reading “Belknap Landscaping Company.” Kelley urged anyone with information leading to the recovery of the equipment and the identity of the suspects to contact the Gilford Police Department at 527-4737.
from preceding page What changed, he said, is the 5-day turn-around time for a NHDES permit. As of July 1, “if if meets the DES criteria then the landowner has the right to do it.” If the NHDES finds issues with the proposal, it has five days to object. But he emphasized, “the law still says landowners are required to notify their local land use boards before they do anything.” Forst said the SWQPA also relaxes the minimum standards regarding the definitions of ground
cover, tree removal, stump and boulder removal and removes the word “native” from what defines existing ground cover. She said the details of everyone’s shore front are specific to his or her own property but, for Koulet and local land use administrators, most importantly, the rules still require local notification. For information regarding your own specific property or to learn more about the SWQPA please call your local land office or go to http://des.nh.gov/organization/divisions/water/wetlands/cspa/categories/... for a fact sheet issued by the NHDES regarding the new law.
PAUGUS WOODS from page one van to stop selling the homes and fix the occupied, defective homes — the Villas at Paugus Woods is a multiple-unit development begun by developer Norris Viviers in 2007. In an August telephone interview, Viviers said he completed “a couple of houses” before selling “the whole development” to Brady Sullivan Properties in 2009. Delaney’s suit says the registration was issued to Brady Sullivan on Oct. 28, 2009, after which time it was legal to offer the homes to the public. A random inspection of seven of the already constructed homes in January of 2010 by the N.H. modular building inspector Donald Carpia revealed 13 code violations, all but two of which were the same in all seven inspected homes. Carpia said project manager and Brady Sullivan employee Larry St. Pierre was with him during his inspections. The violations, according to the suit, included structural and electrical defects and other “violations of the building codes that would cause the dwellings to be unsafe.” In November of 2010, Delaney says that Daniel and Dawn Crim of Sarasota Lane were in the process of closing on their home, which is not one of the seven homes that were randomly inspected earlier by Carpia, when they noticed some anomalies and brought them to the attention of Brady Sullivan, which was “working to resolve them.” Delaney said the Crims closed on their home on Nov. 24, 2010 but on Dec. 1, 2010 they noticed “what appeared to be severe cracks in the drywall” in the room occupied by their 3-year old child. They allegedly contacted Brady Sullivan and were told the cracks were “cosmetic.” The Crims, who couldn’t be reached yesterday for comment, said they also notified the state fire marshal Ken Walsh, and asked for an inspection. Walsh’s affidavit, made public yesterday, said that the lag bolts that connect module “C” with the rest of the three-part modular home had not been installed. Further, Walsh noted that the foundation under the “C” module was not constructed such that it could support the module. “Because of these failures,” claims Delaney, “the C Module was physically moving away from the remainder of the house, causing the cracks and deformations in the drywall that had attracted the
attention of (the Crims) and caused them to file their complaint.” After getting a similar complaint from a neighbor, Walsh said he found similar structural deficiencies in their home as well. Walsh said eight complaints were eventually filed with the fire marshal’s office. Walsh said he contacted Brady Sullivan Atty. Marc Pinard in late 2010 and discussed how the company was going to resolve the matters. On Jan, 13, 2011 Walsh said he met with Pinard, St. Pierre, Laconia’s building inspector Jim VanValkenburgh, City Planner Shanna Saunders, Dept. Fire Chief Charles Roffo and representatives from all of the companies involved with the construction and assembly of the modular homes except Excel Homes whose attorneys said the company was in bankruptcy. Walsh said individual contractor responsibilities were identified in this meeting so his office could determine which contractor needs to fix which problem. Brady Sullivan agreed to stop selling the homes while a resolution was in the offing but later asked for and received an exemption for two buyers who had already given up their former homes. Delaney brought the civil suit against Brady Sullivan after an independent inspector hired recently on behalf of the state said there were still “various building code violations” in at least 20 of the newly inspected homes. Delaney is asking for a stop to all sales and the remediation and independent verification that all of the violations are fixed. He also asks the court to allow any homeowner whose homes are not repaired to code to hire their own contractors to fix the problems and be reimbursed by Brady Sullivan. Delaney is also asking for up to a $10,000 fine for each violation and legal fees. The Associated Press reported that Arthur Sullivan of Brady Sullivan Paugus Woods says each of the homes passed City of Laconia inspections prior to sale. In at least three of the complaints, The Daily Sun verified with the city code enforcement office and the planning department in August that there were occupancy permits signed by either former City Manager Eileen Cabanel or VanValkenburgh. Sullivan said his firm has cooperated with state officials and maintains his company will be vindicated.
KISS from page 2 Hailey and Grey acknowledged that they became upset after the flight attendant reprimanded them and told them Southwest is a family airline. “We take full responsibility for getting verbally upset with the flight attendant,” their statement said. “No matter how quietly homophobia is whispered, it doesn’t make it any less loud.” Hailey and Gray said they plan to file a formal complaint with the airline. Details of how the couple was escorted off the flight were not included in the Southwest state-
ment. Initial reports had the flight going from Baltimore to St. Louis, but a tweet by the band says its members were flying from El Paso, Texas, to Los Angeles, which the airline confirmed. Hailey said in a tweet that she has an audio and video recording of the encounter between the couple and the flight attendant. It’s not immediately clear who made it. Coffey did not respond to an email requesting access to the recordings. Hailey also demanded a public apology and a refund from the airline. The airline said it had reached out to all passengers involved to offer refunds.

WOW from page one was applied to cost overruns on the first phase. In addition, the balance of the grant, approximately $140,000, required a 25-percent match of $35,000, leaving about $335,000 to be be raised. Hanley estimated that the committee has raised some $231,000, including $20,000 from the recent WOW Fest, narrowing the shortfall to about $104,000. The second phase, Hanley said, presents a number of challenges, most of them along the stretch from Bartlett Beach to Belmont where the railroad runs very close to the lake on one side and is flanked by a ditch on the other. Moreover, she said that the route is dotted with wetlands and several residential and commercial buildings stand very close to the railway corridor. Last month, at the WOW annual meeting, Steve Smith of Steven J. Smith & Associates, Inc. , an engineer and longtime board member, said “I think phase two is going to be unique as opposed to phase one.” He anticipated that much of the trail will follow a boardwalk rather than paved surface to overcome environmental problems and projected the cost would be “ at least one million.” Hanley said that her committee will meet with state officials from the Department of Transportation and Department of Environmental Services at Meredith Village Savings Bank on Wednesday, October 5 at 9 a.m. to explore ways of addressing the challenges posed by the second phase of the trail. She said that they would walk the route and discuss how to chart an appropriate course that complies with environmental regulations. At the same time, she said that plans are underway to conduct environmental and archaeological assessments as well as map the wetlands along the route of the second phase. Meanwhile, Hanley said the committee will propose improving the northern (Lakeport Square) end of the first phase to the Planning Board. Without offering specifics, she said that bricks, pavers and benches would be used to enhance the trailhead without plantings that would obscure the view. In addition, Hanley reported that the Belknap County Economic Development Council is preparing an economic benefit analysis of the WOW Trail, which will be based on the completed project traversing the city between the Belmont and Meredith town lines. Apart from raising funds to construct the trail, the WOW Committee has also undertaken to maintain a fund to maintain it. Hanley told the council that the Parks and Recreation Department spent $2,300 on maintenance in 2010, for which it was reimbursed, and the fund has a current balance of $5,000.

Red Sox hold off Orioles 8-7, stay tied with Rays for wild card playoff spot with 1 game to go BALTIMORE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox maintained a share of the AL wild-card lead Tuesday night, using four home runs to beat the Baltimore Orioles 8-7 and set up a dramatic conclusion to the regular season. The skidding Red Sox were 6-19 in September before rebounding to edge the last-place Orioles. The win, combined with Tampa Bay’s 5-3 victory over the New York Yankees, kept Boston and the Rays tied with one game left. After blowing a nine-game lead in the span of 23 days, the Red Sox will send Jon Lester (15-9) to the mound against Baltimore on Wednesday night in an effort to get into the postseason for the fourth time in five years. Lester, Boston’s winningest pitcher, will be throwing on three days’ rest. Boston will be looking to put together its first winning streak since sweeping a doubleheader from Oakland on Aug. 27. If the Rays and Red Sox remain tied after Wednesday, Tampa Bay will host a onegame playoff Thursday. Rookie Ryan Lavarnway became the unlikeliest of heroes for Boston, hitting his first two major league homers after being thrust into the lineup because of injuries to catchers Jarrod Saltalamacchia (sore collarbone) and Jason Varitek (knee). Lavarnway, a Yale philosophy major who never played a big league game before August, hit a threerun drive in the fourth inning and added a solo shot for an 8-4 lead in the eighth. Jacoby Ellsbury and Marco Scutaro also connected
for Boston, which scored all its runs on home runs. Alfredo Aceves (10-2) pitched 3 2-3 innings of three-hit relief for the Red Sox, who survived homers from Baltimore’s Matt Wieters and Adam Jones. After the Orioles scored twice in the eighth off Daniel Bard to make it 8-6, Jonathan Papelbon survived a hectic ninth for his 31st save. Wieters drove in a run with a grounder and Baltimore had the potential tying run at second with two outs before Jones grounded out on a 3-2 pitch. Pitching at Camden Yards for the first time since being traded by Baltimore to Seattle in February 2008, Boston starter Erik Bedard gave up three runs and five hits in 3 1-3 innings. The left-hander struck out six but needed 84 pitches to get 10 outs. Bedard retired the first two batters without difficulty, then walked Nick Markakis and yielded an RBI double to Vladimir Guerrero to fall behind 1-0. Boston took the lead in the third against rookie Zach Britton (11-11) when Scutaro hit a two-out double and Ellsbury followed with his 32nd homer. Ellsbury has hit in 35 straight games against the Orioles, a streak that began on April 17, 2009. Lavarnway connected on a 3-2 pitch in the fourth following singles by David Ortiz and Adrian Gonzalez. Wieters answered in the bottom half with his 22nd home run, the second in two nights, to make it 5-3. A triple by Carl Crawford and Scutaro’s homer off Jason Berken made it 7-3 in the sixth. Jones led off the bottom half with a homer off Aceves.
HEALTH INSURANCE from page 2 “(Workers) basically are giving their pay raise to the health system,” said Darling, who was not involved with the Kaiser study. “It’s really bad news.” The annual study was conducted earlier this year and includes results from more than 2,000 companies nationwide. It also indicates that many more families than previously believed have benefited from a popular provision in the overhaul that allows young adults to stay on a parent’s health plan until they turn 26. Kaiser asked employers how many people were added to their insurance plans because of this provision and estimated that 2.3 million young adults enrolled. Last week the government had reported that the number of uninsured young adults had dropped by nearly 1 million since the law took effect, a finding independently corroborated by Gallup. The difference isn’t necessarily a contradiction. The Kaiser survey may have counted young adults who were covered by a more expensive policy and switched to their parent’s plan to save money. Many workers are about to receive notices from
their employers regarding health insurance coverage for next year. Altman said he cannot say whether this year’s increase represents a bad omen for 2012 or if it is just a one-year blip. Insurers have been saying for months that health care use is growing more slowly this year, something industry observers pin on a sluggish economy. Altman and other benefits experts say that could lead to lower premium increases next year, since insurers base their rates in part on how often people use care. Benefits consultant Mercer said earlier this month an employer survey it did shows that 2012 health insurance costs will rise by the smallest amount since 1997. The Kaiser survey shows a steady increase in companies offering high-deductible plans, which come with lower premiums but make consumers pay more out of pocket for care. This insurance is often paired with health savings accounts that let people save pretax for medical expenses. Altman said he expects that trend to continue growing as employers try to control premiums.

Celebrated Kirtan musician David Newman to perform at the Practice Room MEREDITH — The Practice Room will host international Kirtan Chant Artist David Newman on Friday, September 30 at 7 p.m. Also known as ‘Durga Das,’ Newman will be performing with celebrated devotional singer, recording artist and percussionist Mira. As Yoga continues to spread its wings in America, a component of the ancient tradition is emerging as

LACONIA — Well known East African singer, songwriter and activist Wangari will come to Pitman’s freight room this Saturday at 8 p.m. She has been on a tour that stretched from San Francisco through the midwest and is now ending in New Hampshire and will be a homecoming show for accompanying guitarist and Lakes Region native Paul Thibeault. Wangari and Thibeault took a leap of faith early in 2010 after creating their own genre of music and moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco to showcase, travel, expand musically and spiritually. They settled in Santa Cruz off the grid in an intentional community in the mountains. This is where there music took off and immediately started getting work and collaborating with artists in the Bay area. Their connections with musicians took them as far as working with percussionist Gabriel Harris and meeting Joan Baez, who mentored Wangari. “Being mentored by Joan was an amazing experience and has given me the ability to understand what it takes to make it in the music industry” said Wangari, who is no stranger to superstar mentors, having spent six months learning from the late great South African singer Mariam Makeba. “ I have been blessed to be able to learn from these great women and I intend on following in their footsteps.” As a singer and activist Wangari has been dubbed “the voice for the voiceless.” Born and raised in Kenya, Wangari knows first hand the struggles of Africa having volunteered in the Sudan as a teenager. Singing in three different languages, Wangari’s music is truly multicultural. Her music is a blend of Folk and Afro-Jazz with a vintage, classy style reminiscent of Nina Simone and Miriam Makeba.
part of the new spiritual music movement. It is called Kirtan. A Kirtan is a group gathering where sacred mantras are sung together in a call and response style. It is a unique concert setting where music and singing are treated as meditation and the audience is as much a part of the band as the band members themselves. All throughout the country the awareness of this ancient practice is growing. Newman travels extensively sharing Kirtan, devotional music and the spiritual, meditative and musical aspects of Yoga. Newman’s wife Mira, a devotional singer and percussionist, plays a prominent role in his recent recording, adding her unique rhythmic groove and delicate angelic vocal style. The result was his most intimate and expressive record yet entitled To Be Home. Admission to the Meredith concert is $20 in advance, $25 the day of the event. Tickets can be

OBITUARY
Michael Z. ‘Mike’ Lawton, 58
LACONIA — “Mike” Michael Z. Lawton, 58, of Laconia, died peacefully at home on Saturday, September 24, 2011 of complications from ALS/Lou-Gherig’s disease. He was surrounded by his loving family. Mr. Lawton was born May 4, 1953, in Franklin, NH, to Barbara (Knight) and John Lawton. He graduated from Dover HS in 1971, spending summers in Weirs Beach, N.H. on Lake Winnipesaukee and was owner of the Lawton Boat Company. Boats had figured predominantly in his life, from his youth working on boats in the Weirs, to marine carpentry courses at the Edison School of Technology in Seattle, Washington, where he earned an Associates Degree. He carried his two tool boxes and a duffel bag and boarded a plane for Alaska where he repaired cannery ships, flying by helicopter from ship to ship on the fishing grounds. After Mr. Lawton moved to Bingham, Maine in May, 1981, he and his small crew of three men restored the 69-year old, 140-ton Moosehead Lake Steamship, Katahdin. In recent years, he was involved in the restoration of The Endeavor in Rhode Island. Mike also built a harp for his daughter, and worked for many years on his masterpiece, a small boat that would soar above water; The Aero Bateaux. The design of his final project, a dogsled, was the product of two years of planning and work. Mike was a talented bass musician, a true adventurer and a poet, and will be remembered for his quick wit and trademark smile. Mike is survived by his mother, Barbara Winter, of Dover; his wife, Dorothy Cool-Lawton, of Laconia; four children, daughter, Ingrid Gracious Lawton of Gilmanton; daughter, Amelya Grace Lawton of Laconia; daughter, Elizabeth Grace Lawton of New Hampton; son, Jules Randolph Lawton of Weirs Beach; a grandson, Elijah Maxwell Nadeau of Laconia; seven siblings, sister, Cyndi and her husband Russell Goodwin, of Belmont; brother, Randolph Lawton, and his lifelong companion, Deborah Montague, of Gilford; sister, Susa, and her husband, Sam Umayyah Haddadin, of Dover; sister, Judith Lawton,
and her partner, Guillermo Fuentes, of Los Angeles, California; brother, Thomas Lawton, of Portland, Oregon; brother, Steven Lawton, of Weirs Beach; sister, Michelle Vilandry, of Danbury; uncles, Perley Knight of Tyngsboro, MA; Robert Lawton of Weirs Beach; three nephews, Nathaniel Goodwin, Zaid Haddadin and James Haddadin; several cousins and many longtime friends. He was predeceased by his father, John Salisbury Lawton. Mike’s wife and children wish to express their heartfelt gratitude to all of those who assisted him along this difficult journey, especially; Dr. Erin Hattan, Mr. Bob Wilkinson of Laconia , and Community Health and Hospice of Laconia. Things Men Have Made “Things men have made with wakened hands, and put soft life into Are awake through years with transferred touch, And go on glowing for long years And for this reason, some old things are lovely Warm still with the life of forgotten men who made them.” D.H. Lawrence. A Celebration of Mike’s Life will be held on Friday, September 30, 2011 from 3:00 pm-5:00 pm at the Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home, 164 Pleasant Street , Laconia , NH , 03246 using the Carriage House entrance. For those who wish, the family suggests that memorial donations be made to: Wilkinson-Beane Inc., PO BOX 67 , Laconia , NH 03247-0067 or The ALS Foundation @ alsa.org. Wilkinson-Beane-Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 164 Pleasant Street , Laconia , N.H. is assisting the family.

Cru-Con offers Cruise to United Way Donors New derby rule: No live fish can be registered
LACONIA — CruCon Cruise Outlet and Lakes Region United Way have teamed up to create what they think will be a very exciting way to increase giving in the Lakes Region. CruCon Cruise Outlet has donated five different cruises, to destinations worldwide, that donors to the Lakes Region United Way can become eligible to win depending on their giving level during the period Sept 1, 2011 until July 1, 2012. The destinations include Bermuda, the Caribbean, Hawaii, the Mediterranean, and Australia. All cruises are for two, include Oceanside cabins and airfare is included on all except the Boston to Bermuda cruise. The cruises range from 7 to 14 nights. Sandy Cleary, owner of CruCon, said “We are very happy to be in a position to offer this type of incentive to the United Way campaign because we all win when we increase the level of giving and care in our community. We like the approach Lakes Region United Way is taking with their community investing, and believe that in the long run the approach will lead to the most positive changes. We truly hope we can inspire folks to give this year to the Lakes Region United Way because our social fabric is wearing thin through these difficult times.” Jack Terrill, President of Lakes Region United Way, was thankful for the generosity of Cleary and the CruCon team. “This was such a wonderfully generous show of support that when we first began to discuss the potential, it didn’t seem real. On behalf of the board of directors of the Lakes Region United Way, we absolutely tip our hat to Sandy and CruCon for really stepping up to the plate during these

MEREDITH — The Great Meredith Rotary Ice Fishing Derby, scheduled for the weekend of February 11-12, 2012 will include a new rule as outlined by changes to New Hampshire Fish & Game Department regulations. This rule will be in effect for the 2012 Derby and all future Derby fishing events. “To prevent culling and/or transferring of live fish, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department has implemented a new regulation requiring all Salmonids to be killed upon taking by the angler,” according to Derby Chairman Tracy Aquilla. Salmonids include salmon (which cannot be taken through the ice), and all trout species. The new state regulation therefore requires some, but not all, Derby permitted species to be killed upon taking. “This inconsistency may cause some confusion during the derby, “ Aquilla said, “so the Derby Committee has made the derby ruling more uniform by requiring that any and all fish in the angler’s possession must be dead before the angler enters the registration line, or the fish will be disqualified.” As always, officers from the New Hampshire Fish & Game Department will be monitoring the derby activities, and any angler found to have a live fish will receive a citation. Late breaking information is available on the Meredith Rotary Club website, and online sales of Derby tickets will be available through the website meredithrotary.org beginning October 1.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Sept. 28, the 271st day of 2011. There are 94 days left in the year. The Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashana, begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 28, 1787, the Congress of the Confederation voted to send the just-completed Constitution of the United States to state legislatures for their approval. On this date: In 1066, William the Conqueror invaded England to claim the English throne. In 1542, Portuguese navigator Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo arrived at present-day San Diego. In 1850, flogging was abolished as a form of punishment in the U.S. Navy. In 1920, eight members of the Chicago White Sox were indicted for allegedly throwing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds. (All were acquitted at trial, but all eight were banned from the game for life.) In 1924, two U.S. Army planes landed in Seattle, having completed the first roundthe-world flight in 175 days. In 1939, during World War II, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed a treaty calling for the partitioning of Poland, which the two countries had invaded. In 1961, “Dr. Kildare,” starring Richard Chamberlain and Raymond Massey, and “Hazel,” starring Shirley Booth, premiered on NBC-TV. In 1974, first lady Betty Ford underwent a mastectomy at Bethesda Naval Medical Center in Maryland, following discovery of a cancerous lump in her breast. In 1991, jazz great Miles Davis died in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 65. One year ago: The youngest son of North Korean President Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Un, was selected for his first leadership post in the ruling Workers Party, putting him well on the path to succeed his father.

Dealing with hate and intolerance theme for community workshops LACONIA — “From Tolerance to Inclusion: Many Experiences, One Community” is the overall theme on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 4 and 5 for a community-wide event to respond to the intolerance and uncivil dialogue that has become endemic in American culture. “How to make democracy work in a time of increasing distrust and incivility has become a basic issue. The conundrum can be seen in our intolerance of others’ opinions and yet, with the seeming tolerance of wide spread drug use it is difficult to organize to keep our neighborhoods safe. Engaging in dialogue on how tolerance and intolerance are expressed and how to sustain a culture of inclusion are fundamental to who we are as a community,’’ says Carol Pierce, chair of the Laconia Human Relations Committee. The event is sponsored by the Laconia School District, Lakes Region Community College, Laconia Human Relations Committee, Laconia Police Department, Lakes Region United Way, NH Catholic Charities and Laconia Middle School PTO. Celia Brooks and Michele Marsh Garcia of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) are keynote speakers for the two-day series of events in the Laconia Schools and the Lakes Region Community
LACONIA PUBLIC LIBRARY
College. The SPLC is a non-profit civil rights organization dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry, and to seeking justice for the most vulnerable members of society. Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin’s ongoing theme for the schools is Respect, Responsibility, and Relationships, the basis for educational values. The theme for October 4 and 5 in the schools is Promoting Respectful Schools. Supt. Champlin says, “bullying is the precursor to hate and intolerance.” On Tuesday, Oct. 4 Brooks and Garcia will lead staff training for the Laconia Schools at 4 p.m. This is followed by a free family and community dinner at the Laconia Middle School from 6 to 8 pm. Wednesday, October 5 Brooks and Garcia will be leading school events for students in the Laconia Middle School and Laconia High School. Wednesday evening Brooks and Garcia will give a presentation at the Lakes Region Community College, “The State of Hate and Intolerance in America: A Call to Community Building, A Community Forum on Civil Discourse in 2011, “ from 6 to 8:30 pm, including a free dinner sponsored by the LRCC Student Senate.

LACONIA — “Alzheimer’s Illustrated: From Heartbreak to Hope,” the nationally touring quilt exhibit about Alzheimer’s, will be featured at the Belknap Mill Quilters Guild quilt show October 1-2 at the Conference Center at Lake Opechee Inn and Spa. Exhibit hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $5. For more information, visit BMQG.ORG.

Laconia quilter Michelle Plourde spearheaded the drive to bring the exhibit to the Lakes Region.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I know you won’t print this, because your column is all about badmouthing men. Hollywood does the same thing. Why is it terrible when a man belittles his wife, but funny when she belittles him? Explain why Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck are “sexy” when they don’t shave, but women complain about us for the same thing. Some of us have nose and ear hair, and women call us slobs. Maybe we don’t change our clothes every day. So what? This is for all the wives and girlfriends: When was the last time you shaved your legs, underarms or even your face? Do you really think a moustache or two-inch hair sticking out of your chin is an aphrodisiac? It’s not. When was the last time you used makeup or put on some perfume? Do you really think wearing sweatpants on your 300-pound body makes you look like an athlete? I try to appreciate the finer, nonphysical things about women. A beautiful heart and personality are much more attractive than a pretty face. But an ungrateful attitude is many times worse than some extra hair. Why don’t you try to appreciate us for providing a decent home and working hard all our lives to support our families? When you change your attitude, a little extra hair won’t seem important. -- Sloppy Old Man Dear Sloppy: You’ll forgive us if we chuckle at your raging diatribe in support of being a slob. Of course a loving heart is the most important attribute of any relationship. But there is no excuse for either men or women to become unshaven, unkempt pigs because they have grown complacent. We guarantee women would find Brad Pitt a good deal less attractive if he had hair sticking out of his ears and nose and hadn’t changed his underwear in a week. But you are right that many women also neglect their appearance. Each partner in a relationship should make every effort to look presentable, and sometimes that involves a magnifying mirror.
Dear Annie: I would greatly appreciate it if you would please reprint one of your most requested pieces. It is entitled “After a While” by Veronica A. Shoffstall. I found it in my drawer and can no longer read it. -- El Paso, Texas Dear El Paso: With pleasure. Here it is: After a While by Veronica A. Shoffstall After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, and you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t always mean security. And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts and presents aren’t promises, and you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. And you learn to build all your roads on today, because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much, so you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure, you really are strong, you really do have worth, and you learn, and you learn, with every goodbye, you learn... Copyright 1971 Dear Annie: I was so comforted by the letter from “Coping in Calif.,” whose son and his wife have cut her out of their lives. It’s true that there’s not one thing we can do about it. But I loved that she said along with forgiving them, we must also protect ourselves from their cruel behavior. So much is said about cruelty to children. But so little is said about adult children being cruel to their parents. -- Iowa
