Meredith man charged with pointing rifle at father & son

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — A local man was ordered held on $1,000 cash and $25,000 personal recognizance bail yesterday after he allegedly threatened a man and his 9-year-old son with a rifle during an apparent road-rage incident.

Police affidavits said the

victim and his son where driving on Meredith Neck road nearing Old Hubbard Road and Richard Azzara, 50, of 2 Dale Road was driving ahead of him.

The victim told police Azzara slowed to turn right onto Old Hubbard Road and he started to pass him on the left. He said the GMC pickup Azzara was driving suddenly swerved to the left

nearly colliding with him.

The victim said he took evasive action and there was traffic coming in the opposite direction.

He said the Azzara pulled over and he pulled up next to him.

The victim said he realized the driver was Azzara and that Azzara had allegedly be involved in a road rage incident with his wife on Monday, which was

reported to Meredith Police.

The victim said he started to yell at Azzara and told him he “wasn’t going to let him intimidate him like he did (to) his wife” when Azzara allegedly raised a rifle and pointed it at him and his son. The man called 9-1-1.

TILTON — Officials of the Winnisquam Regional School District yesterday found themselves wrestling with an aggressive campaign waged by high school students to mark the memory of a classmate in the pages of annual school yearbook that is not due to be published until next spring.

In May, 2010 Alexandria “Ali” Nixon of Sanbornton, a sophomore at Winnisquam High School, took her own life.

According to a petition posted anonymously on the website “Change.org.,” which was taken down around 6 p.m. yesterday, when students asked to commemorate Nixon in the yearbook they were told no mention would be made of her. Allegedly the father of one of her friends offered to purchase an entire page of the yearbook, which would be dedicated to see NIXON page 9

‘Silver Sachems’ well on their way to naming new LHS field for beloved Coach Fitzgerald By adam drapchO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — While they were high school students, Jim Fitzgerald was their football coach and mentor, teaching them to work hard and believe that they could lead their team to victory even when facing long odds. More often than not, he was right. While a few of his players went on to have careers in football, many more employed the lessons they learned on the playing field to find success in other pursuits. Now that a capital campaign is

being waged to raise enough funds — $1 million — to help build the kind of athletic facility that will be the envy of the region, a group of former players is well on its way to compile donations necessary to name the playing field itself in honor of their coach.

Calling themselves the “Silver Sachems,” Jeff Price, Dick Swett and Steve Gardner organized earlier this year and pooled together $50,000, half of the $100,000 needed to purchase the naming right at what will be Bank of New Hampshire Sta-

Price, who graduated from Laconia High School in 1983 and is now the president and publisher of Sporting News, was able to reach members of his generation as well as some of his predecessors, he’s hoping now to invite some of those who wore the Sachem jersey after him.

Arizona man fatally shoots himself on TV after chase PHOENIX (AP) — A man fatally shot himself in the head Friday on live national television at the end of a high-speed carjacking chase that began in Phoenix and ended about 90 minutes later within 80 miles of the California border.

Fox News was covering the chase that began about midday using a live helicopter shot from Phoenix affiliate KSAZ-TV. The man driving a coppercolored four-door sedan stopped, ran into the desert and placed a handgun to his head and fired.

The man was declared dead at the scene and hasn’t yet been identified, according to Sgt. Tommy Thompson, a Phoenix police spokesman.

Fox News anchor Shepard Smith told viewers that the video was supposed to be on a 10-second delay so it could be cut off from airing if something went awry.

“We really messed up, and we’re all very sorry,” Smith said.

Fox apologized for showing the violence on air.

Conn. man kills masked prowler who turns out to be his son NEW FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — A popular fifth-grade teacher fatally shot a masked, knife-wielding prowler outside his house during what appeared to be a late-night burglary attempt, only to discover he had killed his 15-year-old son, police say.

“It’s something out of a Hollywood script,” said John Hodge, the first selectman, or top elected official, in the town of about 14,000 people. He said he couldn’t recall another killing in his eight years on the job.

No immediate charges were brought against the father, Jeffrey Giuliano, in the shooting of his son, Tyler, around 1 a.m.

Thursday. Police said they were investigating whether the father’s handgun was registered.

State police said Jeffrey Giuliano got a call from his sister next door saying that someone might be trying to break into her home. Giuliano grabbed a gun and went outside to investigate, troopers said.

He confronted someone in a black ski

mask and black clothing and opened fire when the person came at him with a knife, police said.

When officers arrived, the teen was lying in the driveway of his aunt’s home with gunshot wounds and the father was sitting on the grass. The teen was pronounced dead at the scene. A state trooper pulled back the ski mask to reveal that the victim was Tyler Giuliano. It was unclear if his father had already realized it by then. see PROWLER page 11

NEW YORK (AP) — The Obama administration moved Friday to rally Syria’s opposition with pledges of $45 million in new non-lethal and humanitarian assistance as the administration and other world leaders lamented the failure of diplomatic efforts to push Syrian President Bashar Assad from power.

Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. would contribute an additional $15 million in non-lethal gear — mostly communications equipment — to

the civilian opposition trying to oust Assad as well as $30 million in new humanitarian assistance to help those affected by the continuing violence.

She also delivered a new, stark warning to Iran that it must stop arming and supporting the Assad regime.

“It is no secret that our attempts to move forward at the U.N. Security Council have been blocked repeatedly, but the United States is not waiting,” Clinton said as she announced the new aid at a gathering of

the Friends of Syria group that she hosted at a New York hotel on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. She and other foreign ministers from the group met with nine Syrian opposition figures, including several who traveled from Syria to attend Friday’s session, to discuss strategy.

With U.N. action blocked by Russia and China, Clinton said the rest of the world must support the Syrian opposition. She also said it was urgent that the fractured see SYRIA page 8

N.H. AG seeks to keep Speaker O’Brien out of voter registration case CONCORD (AP) — The New Hampshire attorney general’s office filed requests in two courts Friday seeking to have the state’s new voter registration law implemented in time for the Nov. 6 elections, and to prevent House Speaker Bill O’Brien from inserting himself into the case.

The law, passed by the Republican-dominated Legislature over Gov. John Lynch’s veto, requires new voters to sign a statement saying that they declare New Hampshire their domicile and are subject to laws that apply to all residents, including laws requiring drivers to register cars and get a

‘Blue-collar guy’ continuing fight over garage with Governors Island Club

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — The Laconia man whose is contesting what he call his involuntary participation in the Governors Island Club, Inc. told a Belknap County Superior Court judge yesterday that the cottage he wants to place above a garage he wants to build is about to be destroyed and asked to be allowed to move it to his property for safekeeping. Island deed restrictions prohibit out buildings.

Richard Homsi, appearing on his own behalf, told Judge James O’Neill IV that he has building per-

mits from the city, wetland permits from the state and said the only thing holding back his project is the GIC, Inc. obtained a temporary injunction from the court forcing him to stop construction.

“If I don’t get the motion approved today, it will be torn down,” Homsi said of the cottage.

When Homsi purchased his property just over the bridge from Governors Island, which is in Gilford, he was was told his ownership included membership in the Governor’s Island Club and said during a previous interview that he was told by the realtor that membership was voluntary.

HOLDERNESS — Scientists and naturalists tracking the migration of a Tilton-born osprey named “Jill” reported Friday that she has made it to South America on her maiden voyage. Radio signals indicated the bird crossed the Caribbean Ocean in 24 hours and just kept going once she hit the coast of Columbia. She spent the night of Sept. 26 along a high ridge in the towering Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park and then headed south at

11,600 feet before spending the night of the 27th not far from the Venezuelan border.

It is now thought that she might decide to winter in that region, or possible continue on to central Brazil.

“Jill” is expected to spend a couple of years in South America before her instincts lead her back to New Hampshire to settle down with a mate.

Meanwhile, “Jill’s” brother “Chip” is still hanging around in Rhode Island.

Pumpkin at Deerfield Fair may be largest ever, anywhere DEERFIELD (AP) — It’s a big one.

A pumpkin weighed in at 1,843.5 pounds at the Deerfield Fair’s weigh-in on Thursday.

The pumpkin was grown by Steve Geddes of Boscawen, N.H.

It’s a possible record-setter. The heaviest pumpkin on the books is believed to be one last year at a weigh-in in Canada. It weighed a mere 1,818.5 pounds.

Earlier this year, Homsi began building a foundation on his property for a garage atop which he had hoped to put the cottage that is across the street on one of his neighbor’s property. He said he intended to use the garage/cottage for storage and was building it for his extended family.

Once the work began in June, the GIC applied for and received an emergency injunction from Judge O’Neill. Within two weeks, Judge Kenneth McHugh issued a temporary injunction against the construction until the matter could be settled in court.

Homsi’s basic argument is the GIC enforces its deed restrictions selectively and there are other properties on the island itself where there are separate living quarters that are not connected to the primary homes.

The GIC argued that most of those separate quarters were built before the deed restrictions and the deed signed by Homsi when he bought his home included the covenant and a clause that says he must go before the GIC executive committee before undertaking any construction projects.

As a compromise measure, Homsi said he would not included a kitchen in his revised project but only use it for storage.

As to yesterday’s hearing, Homsi said he was afraid of having the cottage destroyed and wanted permission only to move it to his property. He assured the court that he would not use it, would board up the front door, and not attach any electricity or plumbing until such time as the court made it final ruling.

Speaking of behalf of the GIC was attorney Paul Fitzgerald, who said Homsi’s appearance in court see GARAGE page 8

Tedious attacks on ‘Mainstream Media’ Last week, the most-read items on the RealClearPolitics website were complaints about the “mainstream media.” Basically, it was Mitt Romney supporters claiming that their man was behind in polls because the so-called mainstream media were biased against conservatives. On the left, meanwhile, the beefs tend to focus on “what the media aren’t reporting” — most often plundering by big business.

About 11 out of 10 times these commentators know “what the media aren’t reporting” because they read about it ... where?

Let’s linger on the left side for a moment. In Rolling Stone magazine, Matt Taibbi regales us on “the incredible untold story of the 2012 election,” which is this: Romney’s “hypocrisy” in railing against federal debt after his Bain Capital loaded down companies with debt so heavy they sometimes collapsed.

Taibbi is always an entertaining read, and his portrayals are mostly accurate, even though they often make faulty connections. (Corporate debt and federal debt are two different things.)

But the “untold story” of what Bain did to companies and their employees, including the debt part, has been told about a million times.

It’s been told in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg Businessweek and leading newspapers from Maine to Hawaii, from Florida to Alaska. Every fact pertinent to Taibbi’s thesis was revealed elsewhere in the media. It is entirely possible that many of Taibbi’s readers — like the millions who get their news from right-leaning Fox News — don’t spend much time reading grownup coverage of public affairs.

They prefer hyper-partisan presentations and thrill at the suggestion of conspiracy. That’s fine, but let’s not pretend that an opinion piece relying on the reporting of others is unveiling a cover-up, unless it digs up its own information.

Last month, conservative Michael Barone grumbled that criticisms of Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as a running mate were “echoed gleefully by mainstream media.” This was three weeks after a Wall Street Journal editorial, “Why not Ryan?” helped

propel the pick of the Wisconsin rep.

“The case for Mr. Ryan is that he best exemplifies the nature and stakes of this election,” the editorial said. “More than any other politician, the House Budget chairman has defined those stakes well as a generational choice about the role of government and whether America will once again become a growth economy or sink into interest-group dominated decline.”

Is Barone implying that The Wall Street Journal — even though its circulation tops that of both USA Today and The New York Times — isn’t part of the “mainstream media”? It would seem so.

In a Chicago Sun-Times column, predictably titled “Media Cover for Obama’s Failures,” Steve Huntley refers to “the mainstream media’s obsession with what Obama-friendly commentators see as Romney’s gaffes.” Actually, in the days after the Republican’s impolitic remark that 47 percent of Americans are moochers off the government came to light, Romney-friendly commentators on Fox News were talking about little else (and trying to swat away the negative response).

Fox News reaches more cable viewers than does the liberal MSNBC or centrist CNN. If right-wing pundits get away with routinely omitting conservative media giants in their definition of “mainstream media,” what chance does a liberal editorial page that balances its views with opposing commentary have in winning at least grudging respect?

I ask myself: Why get worked up over laziness? Because the reporting off which opinion journalists make their arguments is expensive. Sure, a lot of news coverage is shoddy.

Always was. But these drumbeat attacks on America’s newsrooms as congenitally unfair or incompetent undermines their credibility and, by extension, economic viability. Without serious journalism, there will be no civic culture worth a damn.

(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.)

Another fine demonstration of Democrat ‘civility’ on display To the editor, In the Sept. 28th issue of this paper, David Hart provided another demonstration of Democrat “civility”. In his letter, he labeled Republicans as . . . “egomaniacs, evil, bad guys, villains, high jackers”, and provided a series of other such niceties.

Mr. Hart seems to think he is speaking for “Joe six pack” but I doubt that Joe would want to be associated with someone who so casually labels others a did Mr. Hart.

LETTERS Enough of this personal stuff, let’s hear talk about the issues To the editor, As the father of Josh Youssef, who is seeking office for the first time in the District 7 Senate race, it is distressful to read, day after day, articles collaborated and submitted by his bitter ex-wife and her unethical attorney.

Six years post divorce, they continue to perpetuate this ordeal, distorting and misrepresenting the facts, and then publicizing all the scuttle-butt they can muster! What a disservice and total disregard this is to my eight and a half year old grandson who can read, write, and use the computer. I’m sure if the voters were aware of what our entire family has endured at their hands the past several years, it would be clear that their mission to frustrate Josh’s campaign is born of malice, and it is disgraceful.

More disappointing is the media’s attention to what they apparently feel is “news.” There is no place in the media for such nonsense. Josh has adequately addressed the allegations at his website, in newspapers and has interviewed with a statewide television stations. He has encouraged anyone with questions to call his personal cell phone. To that end, he refuses to stoop to the level of debating this irrelevant matter, and wishes to address the real issues that concern him within our state. He will not

engage in the “dirty politics” game, and I’m sure the voters will rise above this tactic as well.

Enough is enough! I have spoken with many people who have voiced their frustration and fatigue with the negative newspaper articles and those who have initiated them, and they strongly support Josh because of his stand on matters with which they are concerned, such as: his goals to: restore economic prosperity, put people back to work, provide property tax relief, and improve and enhance our education and health care systems. These are just a few matters on which Josh will focus and work diligently to implement.

As far as I know, no reporter, since Josh won the primary, has even asked where he stands. His opponent even hides behind speaking of the real issues, while he side-tracks and joins in the personal attack of Josh, without having any knowledge of him or his platform. Josh has a vision and a goal to make a real difference for the people of N.H., and the voters will be very proud to have voted for him, Republicans, Democrats, and independents alike, for a better New Hampshire!

How in the world could Forrester vote to lower cigarette tax?

To the editor, I am very disappointed in Senator Jeanie Forrester’s voting record.

I cannot for the life of me understand why someone who claims to be fiscally responsible would vote to give out-ofstate cigarette manufacturers a break by reducing the tax on cigarettes by ten cents. This has resulted in a $20-million hole in our state budget. Why is Senator Forrester favoring the tobacco industry over, say, our university system?

When she casts her vote in the N.H. State Senate, she should be acting in our best interests. In my view, her support of the tobacco companies while cutting funds for college students and the university system is just wrong.

I support Bob Lamb for the New Hampshire State Senate. He is a proven leader and will to bring his intelligence and business background

to the New Hampshire State Senate to create bi-partisan solutions to our state’s problems.

Why is it necessary for me to voice my opposition to Senator Forrester’s voting record in this manner? Clearly, Senator Forrester is afraid to face the voters in any actual one-on-one debates with her Democratic opponent. Bob Lamb and his campaign have tried repeatedly to arrange genuine one-on-one debates with the incumbent Senator. I must ask you, Senator Forrester, if Andrew Hosmer and Joshua Youssef, the candidates for Senate in District 7, can agree to participate in a public debate, why not you?

The voters in Senate District 2 need a leader who is willing to engage with all of the residents of the district — not just those who support her.

It’s time for a new voice in Concord. Please see next page

LETTERS Gold Star Mothers Day will be observed in U.S. on Sunday

I will debate the facts about Granite State Future for all to see

To the editor, Gold Star Mothers Day will be observed on Sunday, Sept. 30.

The United States began observing Gold Star Mothers Day on the last Sunday of September in 1936. It is a day for people to recognize and honor those who have lost a son or daughter while serving the United States Armed Forces.

Mothers of fallen service members began calling themselves “Gold Star Mothers” during the First World War, but the sorrowful bond they share reaches back to every woman who has lost a son or daughter in uniform since our nation’s revolution.

The name the Gold Star Mothers was derived from the custom of military families who put a service flag near their front window. The flag featured a star for each family member serving in their country — living members were denoted in blue but gold stars honored family members who were killed while in duty. In 1918 President Woodrow Wilson approved the wearing of black armbands bearing a gold star by those who had a family member who died in the military service to the United States. This distinguished them from the blue stars, representing a family member presently serving in the armed forces.

To the editor, I read with great interest Mike Mortensen’s story about the Regional Planning Commission’s Initiative — Granite State Future. Mike nailed all my quotes except for his substitution of the word “cynical” when I said sinister. But I digress.

What really amused me were Kim Koulet’s two quotes, “It mystifies me why they think this way,” and “There is no contract.”

I can tell you why many in the Lakes Region Tea Party feel the Granite State Future (GSF) is not good for New Hampshire. To boil it down to its most basic form, this federal top-down program is about equal outcomes not equal opportunities. It’s a mutation of the Sustainable Communities Initiative that’s nothing more than a cloaked federal program that insists upon mandatory outcomes in regional plans, being produced by unelected bureaucrats who have accepted grant money after signing legally binding contracts.

The GSF program is a consortium of nine regional planning commissions, playing Jedi mind tricks on their member cities and towns, affecting every citizen in New Hampshire. On February 1, 2012, Ms. Kerrie Diers, the executive director of the NRPC,

American Gold Star Mothers, Inc. was incorporated in 1929, obtaining a federal charter from the U.S. Congress. It began with 25 mothers living in the Washington DC area and soon expanded to include affiliated groups throughout the nation. On June 23, 1936, a joint congressional resolution designated the last Sunday in September as Gold Star Mother’s Day, a holiday that has been observed each year by a presidential proclamation.

A gold star symbolizes a family member who died in the line of duty while serving the United States Armed Forces. It may be seen on a service flag or in the form of a pin, which is worn by Gold Star mothers.

The pin is not limited to mothers and it is awarded by the U.S. Department of Defense.

In the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1944: “There is nothing adequate which anyone in any place can say to those who are entitled to display the gold star in their windows America lives in freedom because of the sacrifices of America’s finest citizens and of the mothers who raised them..”

Hosmer is big supporter of overbearing ObamaCare takeover To the editor, In District 7 Senate race, Democrat Andy Hosmer speaks as though he is a moderate, attempting to portray his Republican opponent, Josh Youssef of Laconia, as a right wing extremist for believing in things such as keeping what you make, giving parents, not unions, confrom preceding page join me in voting for Bob Lamb for the New Hampshire State Senate on Nov. 6.

trol of the education of our children, and believing that Concord should live within its means like the rest of us.

In contrast, Hosmer has been a frequent and prolific supporter of Barack Obama and his overbearing health care takeover. In fact, Hosmer has even donated much money to support President Obama’s partisan, big government agenda. If ObamaCare is what Andrew Hosmer means by “moderate”, I hope you will all join me in being “extremist” this November.

signed her name to the $3,369,648 HUD Assistance Award/Amendment instrument that reads in part: “This instrument (the HUD-1044, HUD144 Continuation Sheet) sets forth a legally binding agreement between the parties as to all amounts, deliverables, tasks, period of performance, terms and conditions, here within, whether implicitly stated or referenced.”

Mr. Koulet, I’ve got news for you.

That’s a contract. And wait until you read all the other eight HUD documents that are a part of that grant contract — er, I mean instrument!

Concerned citizens are encouraged to attend future Lakes Region Tea Party meetings as well as the Lakes Region Planning Commission meetings. I’ll be at both, and you can bet that Mr. Koulet and I will openly debate the facts for all to see.

As much as Mr. Koulet would like you to believe “There’s nothing to see here,” I’m here to tell you that your eyes will open wider than barn doors when you see all the facts about the Granite State Future initiative.

P.S. Oh, and wait until you hear about how the upcoming “listening sessions” will be run.

Sen. Forrester’s track record show to be far from warm & fuzzy To the editor, I have never met Jeanne Forrester but I hear that she is warm and fuzzy.

However, her track record shows her to be anything but that. She has voted against all the best interests of the women of New Hampshire, cutting funding for Planned Parenthood, which supplies the only all round medical help for many poor women that they receive. She has also voted against the ObamaCare insurance exchange which allows women, and men to get health insurance with

competition from out of state. She has voted to cut funding for all levels of education, and to allow vouchers for children to leave public schools. The local schools are now going to have to make up for the cuts in state aid to local schools. Watch your property taxes go up as your town has to pay for what has been cut.

If that is warm and fuzzy I don’t want it. Vote for Bob Lamb.

LETTERS Bob Lamb understands education much better than Sen. Forrester To the editor, I am currently a student at Plymouth State University. .Over the last four years I have been very active in national, state, and local politics. Since the 2010 elections I have been witness to so many egregious problems in Concord that came with all the Tea Party members who were elected. One such candidate is Jeannie Forrester, a senator in New Hampshire District 2. I am very concerned with her reelection efforts and the fact that she has been beholden to many outside conservative interests. So far she has already signed pledges with the Koch Brothers’ Americans for prosperity, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform and the American Legislative Exchange Council. This not only means that she has already signed away her ability to vote in favor of our own district’s needs, but also shows that her interests are all outside of our state.

During her time in office Jeannie has voted to cut 48-percent of our state’s university funding, thus skyrocketing the tuition of my school and in state tuition for all our state’s students. On top of this she has voted to cut technology education, foreign language, and the arts from state requirements.

She’s also favored lowering the drop out age and supported vouchers for students to attend private and religious schools. This sends the message that education and is not important to her, but that it should favor the wealthy and prestigious. It is impor-

tant that we encourage kids to stay in school and actively seek out all opportunities to learn and expand their horizons. The cuts also put a huge burden on a system that is already struggling.

She has also voted to remove Holderness from District 2, meaning that Plymouth State would technically be in two separate districts and would have to work with two different senators for any of its needs.

That is why I support Bob Lamb for Senate. As a member of the Plymouth State Democrats, Bob always reached out to us as the chair of the Plymouth Area Democrats. Though such a political group could just as easily ignore the school and focus on their own efforts, Bob always wanted us to have a part in their events. Bob would support raising state funding for the university system and providing all students with the highest quality of education our state can offer. This means supporting not just academics, but also the arts, music, and technology studies. This comes with an understanding that education is not a one size fits all solution, and students need to be able to see what is available to them. School helped me to find my love of playing music, and I have seen many who found their love of art and technology through it too.

Bob Lamb will stand up for our state’s students. That is why I hope you will join me in supporting Bob Lamb for Senate District 2.

We paid into Social Security all out lives; it’s not an entitlement To the editor, I’m writing again to the senior citizens, veterans and disabled, asking them to tell Romney and Ryan your mad as heck and you’re not going to take it anymore! You paid into Social Security and Medicare all your working lives, it is not an entitlement!

Show them your not 47-percent, but will be a force to be reckoned with, of 60-percent or more.

Romney flip flops all the time, but was caught good on this video that came out. He isn’t worried about us, so

why should we want him elected? This time he cot shop from the hip, but got his own foot.

Show Republicans at voting time you are sick and tired of their actions when in session. For our country vote for a straight Democratic ballot, that will give President Obama the people to back him on health care, Social Security, Medicare, jobs, our freedom, etc. We are better off now than we were before 2008.

LETTERS Take every penny from top 20% and it would run U.S. for 10 weeks To the editor, This is my first letter to The Daily Sun. I read the letters on a daily basis to find out what people are thinking in regards to the upcoming presidential election.

I’ll start by saying that I’m a conservative. I know there will be readers that will disregard what I have to say simply because of that fact.

I am very interested in having an open dialogue with some of the more liberal writers. Mr. Veverka, Mr. Hoyt, Dr. Dawson and anyone else who will be willing to engage on a substantive basis not just on political rhetoric.

I was raised with two guiding principles. My parents taught me to respect my elders and get my butt out of bed and go to work because no one is going to give me anything. What you get in life you will have to earn.

My first question is where has our work ethic gone? It seems that anything difficult the liberals want the government to provide.

The voter ID laws. We all agree that’s one of our most precious rights.

Why is that so controversial? Don’t we want to know who’s voting? All you hear is it’s too difficult for some people to obtain an ID. Anything in life worth having is worth working for! Isn’t it?

Another one is it disenfranchises

minority voters. Why? Are you saying that minorities aren’t capable of getting an ID? I believe that thinking is misguided and completely wrong. Are Democrats the only voters without IDs? My next question is government spending. We spend a TRILLION dollars more, give or take a few hundred BILLION than we receive in tax revenue each year. The answer the president gives is to tax the rich more.

Anyone with any common sense knows that’s not a valid argument. If we take every penny the top 20 percent earns in any given year it will run the government for approximately 10 weeks, give or take a few. He says we’re going to reduce the deficit by taxing the rich.

We’ll invest in schools and infrastructure by taxing the rich. Where is his plan to create jobs?

I’m a small business owner in the Lakes Region and have been for over 20 years. I’ve seen slow downs and recessions before but nothing like this. I know, it’s the fault of Bush and the Republicans. Not trying to be sarcastic but that’s all you hear from the Democrats. I’m not as eloquent a writer as many of you but I hope I get my points across in a civilized manner.

I look forward to engaging.

Computer programs could be structured to teach all subjects To the editor, Teacher raises are a big problem today — national in scope, the latest being the ways they are being evaluated to measure their performance.

My personal opinions are as follows: The first thing that can be done is selecting certain grade 1-12 subjects which could be taught by 3rd and 4th year college students who are studying for a teaching major. A few hours a week of their time teaching could also enhance their training early.

The second thing that needs to be addressed is that most children today

are well-versed in the use of computers. Computer programs could be structured to teach all subjects. The only thing needed would be a monitor to keep the records in line. In conjunction with point two, certain students using computers could be able to do self-study programs at home. Proper supervision would be required.

By using computer techniques shown above, gone are the multi-layers of administration in use today!

Liberals oppose Northern Pass but support 400-ft turbine towers?

To the editor, “Trees Not Towers - No Northern Pass”: The Society for the Protection of N.H. Forests has launched a campaign to stop the project. Charges of visual pollution and a blight on N.H.’s forests are everywhere. Northern Pass has many foes, but particularly among liberal conservationists.

There concern is about 85-foot towers, largely concealed by forests on an existing power line right-of-way, carrying clean hydroelectric power.

Meanwhile, over in Groton they’re building a “wind farm” to “harvest”

wind energy. How bucolic is that? A Spanish company is erecting subsidized but liberal-loving wind turbines.

Twenty four 400-foot towers stretched across miles of mountain ridges and visible throughout west central N.H. from Lake Winnipesaukee to Vermont. Vane tip speeds of 150-MPH slaughtering multitudes of birds across the country, including endangered species.

I guess conservation and visual pollution are relative terms. How do you spell hypocrite? L-I-B-E-R-A-L Robert E. Hood Center Harbor

SUICIDE from page 2 such live incident by putting the helicopter pictures on a five second delay,” said Michael Clemente, executive vice president of news editorial. “Unfortunately, this mistake was the result of a severe human error and we apologize for what viewers ultimately saw on the screen.”

More frequently than its rivals, Fox News Channel picks up car chases from its local affiliates and airs them live. It’s gripping television, a live mystery with no clear resolution, and often provides

a short-term ratings boost as viewers tune in to see how it ends. Critics say the chases themselves rarely rise to the level of national news. The Phoenix station was not airing the chase live when it ended.

Thompson said the man allegedly stole a car from a couple at gunpoint outside a Phoenix restaurant just before 11 a.m. MST. Police officers located the vehicle and began a pursuit and the man fired several shots, Thompson said.

Richard Homsi of Summit Avenue in Laconia stored his jet ski’s in the area where he hopes to built a garage with a cottage on top. His proposal has been rejected by the Governor’s Island Association to which he belongs and he has challenged the rejection in Belknap County Superior Court. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

GARAGE from page 3 yesterday was just a second shot at a motion to reconsider the injunction that had been denied to Homsi earlier this month.

He also said the city and state permits obtained by Homsi were “irrelevant” to the issue at hand and that Judge McHugh had already ruled the GIC was likely to prevail in the suit when he didn’t dismiss it.

“To allow Mr. Homsi to move this building to his property would do irreparable harm,” he said, adding the foundation Homsi already built and the cottage, if moved to his property, would be visible from the road.

Homsi replied by saying he was “just a blue-collar guy” and no matter what he has proposed to the GIC Trustees, he has been denied.

He said they have filed a motion for contempt against him for not showing up at a deposition when he explained to GIC’s attorneys that he worked and operated his own car repair business in Massachusetts and needed to ask for a different date.

Homsi said he feels the GIC is discriminating against him.

O’Neill said he would take everything into consideration and issue a ruling early next week.

SYRIA from page 2 foes of the regime unite around plans for a political transition that could put an end to more than three decades of Assad family rule. Activists say the current 18-month long conflict has led

NIXON from page one Nixon’s life, but was refused.

A group of students mounted a petition and collected 150 signatures, including those of some teachers. However, they claimed when they presented the petition it was not only rejected by school officials but also shredded.

Nixon would have been a Ali Nixon member of the Class of 2013.

(Daily Sun file photo) Before the online petition was withdrawn, it had drawn some 1,500 signatures from residents of the Winnisquam Regional School District and nearby towns as well as people in two dozen states from Maine to California and several foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and Norway. The petition caught to attention of several other websites, which provided links to it.

School Superintendent Tammy Davis and Rona Caderette, principal of Winnisquam High School, said that they did not become aware of either the petition circulated among students or the petition posted on-line until approximately 10:30 a.m. yesterday. They denied suggestions that students were told no mention would be made of Nixon in the yearbook, but said they could neither confirm nor deny whether the offer of a parent to dedicate a page to her memory was rejected.

Likewise, Caderette said that claims that Scott Maltzie, the faculty adviser overseeing the preparation of the yearbook, shredded the petition presented by students were unfounded. Instead, she said that she learned from members of the yearbook staff that the student who drafted, circulated and presented the petition destroyed it herself, a fact the student subsequently confirmed.

Davis stressed that throughout dealing with the aftermath of Nixon’s suicide, the school has followed the protocols set by the Disaster Behavioral Health Program administered by New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services as well as guidance from the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

She said that “we want to commemorate the person, but not the act itself,” explaining “we certainly do not want to glorify a death by suicide. Suicide is contagious,” she continued, noting that the school district has a number of high risk students.”If it is idealized in any way, it can lead to other suicides. That is the last thing we want to do,” she said.

Again Davis insisted that “we never said no to acknowledging Ali in the yearbook. She will be acknowledged,” she affirmed. “It is just a matter of how.” She said that school officials and faculty intended to help Ali’s classmates acknowledge and honor her appropriately while “respecting the privacy of her family and positively supporting our students.” from preceding page pitals and morgues and we see more refugees fleeing their homeland and flooding into neighboring countries. The regime of Bashar al-Assad must come to an end so that the suffering of the Syrian people can stop and a new dawn can begin.”

In Washington, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said new intelligence suggested the Syrian government has moved some of its chemical weapons in order to protect them, even though the U.S. believes that the main sites remain secure.

The new U.S. humanitarian assistance — which brings America’s total humanitarian contribution to more than $130 million since the crisis began — will include food, water, blankets and medical services to victims of the violence. U.S. officials said on Thursday that an earlier shipment of medical goods provided by USAID had just arrived in southern Syria.

The officials would not provide details of how the aid made it into Syrian territory.

The additional non-lethal support brings the total U.S. contribution in that area to nearly $40 million since the crisis began and includes 1,100 sets of communications equipment, including satellite-linked computers, telephones and cameras and training for more than 1,000 activists, students and independent journalists.

Next to Lacombe is Library Director Katherine Dormody, Friend of the Library President Kate Hamel and Library Trustee Daryl Thompson. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

N.H. Library of the Year found in Gilford GILFORD — Adult reading groups, the “Teen Room” and delivering books to local daycare centers are but a few of the reasons the Gilford Public Library was named N.H. Library of the Year yesterday.

So said Adele Knight, the Library Ambassador from the N.H. Library Trustee Association who joined about 100 residents, library employees and town officials who joined together for the official presentation of the award.

“They just have some many good features,” Knight said.

When asked what it was about Gilford that put them over the top, Knight said the executive committee that made the decision said it was “looking for a little extra” and found it in the Gilford Library.

The Gilford Library on Potter Hill Road was relocated from it’s older, smaller building on Belknap Mountain road and built in 2008 and 2009. The project was made possible by a generous donation from Dick and Betty Persons.

The new Gilford Library in 14,400-square-feet

over two floors and features reading rooms, multiple computer kiosks, and spaces for toddlers and infants to enjoy books with their parents and guardians.

Director Katherine Dormody said their lastest service, called Check Out An Expert, allows people to get help in everything from writing resumes and learning to use Facebook to learning tie a fly.

In an update Dormody gave to selectmen last week, she said circulation of books and DVDs is up over last year and that hundreds of people participated in the most recent Summer Reading Programs.

“This is just beautiful,” said Jack Lacombe the chair of the Library Trustees. “It is the center of the community.”

Kate Hamel , the head of the Friends of the Library — an independent non-profit fund-raising arm for the library — looked around at the crowd and said it was wonderful to “be surrounded by such a diverse group of people.”

SILVER SACHEMS from page one of the Silver Sachems is $1,000, Price said, adding that donations can be spread out over a five-year period.

Those interested should call Price at 646-691-0927.

The capital campaign to construct the athletic facility is a part of an already-begun $16.8-million building/ renovation project that will include a reconstructed Huot Regional Technical Education Center and a thoroughly renovated high school. Plans for the athletic facility call for stadium seating, a press box and concession stand, and a state-of-the-art artificial athletic playing field which will be available to many more sports than football alone.

In Price’s view, that playing surface should be named “Fitzgerald Field,” both as a way to link the new field to the school’s past, as well as to honor the mark that the coach left on the program. That honor, he said, “we think is rewarding for 30 plus years of service to the school, and really, to the community.”

Gardner, a member of the Class of 1973, said it was a “no-brainer” to contribute to the cause when approached

by Price. Gardner was the team’s quarterback during the year when Fitzgerald, a young assistant coach, was named head coach after his predecessor abruptly resigned after getting off to an ignominious 0-3 start. “Our confidence was waning at that point,” he recalled.

Yet, their coach expressed optimism, Gardner recalled, in an interview published that weekend in a local newspaper. “He stated that Steve Gardner was as good as any other quarterback in the

state.” The statement caught Gardner by surprise, though it turned out to be accurate. The rest of the season turned around.

Gardner still recalls how that vote of confidence felt. Years later, as a parent, he sought to impart that feeling in his children. After high school, Gardner went on to a successful career in business.

Dick Swett, another of the Silver Sachems, graduated from LHS in 1975. He went on pursue architecture and politics, serving two terms as a U.S. Congressman and later as Ambassador to Denmark. It was as a quarterback, though, under Fitzgerald’s coaching, that he learned about leadership.

“We were the smallest school in the biggest division,” Swett recalled.

“When you’re a quarterback in the huddle, you’ve got to instill on them that what you’re asking them to do is possible — you’ve got to instill the possible. When you do, they’ll accomplish it. For me, I learned my first lessons of leadership in that huddle.”

By some estimates, Fitzgerald said, one in every four males that entered Laconia High School played on its football team. He said it’s gratifying for him to watch them go on to successful lives afterward, whether their careers are prestigious or humble, to continue to lead as good fathers and citizens. In the Silver Sachems, those players have a chance to show just what his coaching meant to them.

As Gardner said about Fitzgerald, “The entire time I was with him, he wasn’t just a coach to us, he was also a friend to us.”

PROWLER from page 2 Police said the youngster’s intentions were unclear and they were investigating whether he was actually trying to burglarize the house or if it was some type of prank gone wrong.

“All in all it’s a tragedy,” said State Police spokesman Lt. J. Paul Vance said.

Jeffrey Giuliano did not return a message seeking comment.

Alicia Roy, superintendent of schools in New Fairfield, said the elder Giuliano grew up in the town, holds summer music and zoology camps for his students and plays in a rock band that raises a lot of money for charity. “’’He wanted to teach in the community he grew up,” she said. “He connects with the students. He’s a caring person. Very interactive class.”

VOTER from page 2 state college students and civil liberty groups who challenged the law and ordered the secretary of state’s office to remove the paragraph about residency laws from the voter registration form. He said the new requirement was at odds with state law and would harm the rights of students who traditionally have been allowed to declare the state their domicile for voting purposes without holding legal residency.

On Friday, Associate Attorney General Richard Head asked Lewis to reconsider his order, while simultaneously asking the state Supreme Court to put Lewis’ ruling on hold and to review the case itself. In his multiple filings, Head emphasized that the matter should be resolved as quickly as possible and pointed out that plaintiffs waited until 55 days before the election to challenge a law passed nearly three months ago.

“Once the election passes, gone with it is the prime opportunity for the Court to correct any errors,” he wrote.

Head also filed a motion in Superior Court objecting to O’Brien’s request that the House of Representatives be made a party to the case. Head said the suit is correctly directed at the secretary of state’s office because it, not the Legislature, oversees elections. And it is obviously improper for a single member of the 424-person Legislature to defend legislation in court, he said.

That drew a quick rebuke from O’Brien, who argued the House should intervene because the attorney general’s office did not defend the law by REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS The Town of Meredith is accepting sealed bids for 2012 – Rte 25 Asphalt Paving Project for the Water/Sewer Department Bid specifications are available through the Administrative Services Department at Town Hall, 41 Main Street, Meredith, NH 03253 and on the Town’s website at www.meredithnh.org Questions regarding the specifications/expectations of this RFP should be directed to the Water/Sewer Superintendent at 603-279-3046.

“The attorney general’s office is turning the Constitution on its head in order to compel the court to gag the Legislature from providing a defense that the people deserve for a duly passed law either because the attorney general is unable or unwilling to provide that defense,” he said. “The people of New Hampshire deserve not to have non-residents wandering around diluting their votes.”

CONCORD (AP) — Republican leaders of a New Hampshire legislative committee that hears citizen grievances about the courts say the bulk of the 27 complaints they heard were valid.

The panel held hours-long hearings during the legislative session on the citizen complaints — most involving the family court system. Committee members determined that 20 of the 27 complaints were legitimate and pronounced seven unfounded.

House Speaker William O’Brien last year resurrected the centuriesold concept — rooted in the state constitution — of empowering citizens to seek redress of their grievances by lawmakers.

Committee chairman Paul Ingbretson said Friday that some lawmakers will propose legislation to restrict the authority of family court judges.

O’Brien said during a news conference Friday the committee has been cautious not to view itself as “an extrajudicial proceeding.”

“We trying to learn what laws can work better,” O’Brien said.

Democratic House Leader Terie Norelli on Friday called the committee “a kangaroo court” and a waste of state resources.

The committee has also drawn criticism from Attorney General Michael Delaney.

O’Brien and Delaney locked horns in April, when Delaney asked the House committee to stop questioning state workers about their investigations into neglect and abuse allegations involving children. Delaney said he advised workers in the Division for Children Youth and Families not to respond to the committee’s inquiries.

O’Brien accused Delaney of “playing politics.”

Delaney said many of the petitions are brought by people who have been embroiled in years of litigation.

Committee members said Friday they plan to issue a written report sometime next month.

RIFLE from page one at him home and he allegedly admitted he raised the rifle, pointed it at the victim, and told him “don’t make me put a bullet in it” and that if the victim “had a problem meet me at my house.”

Police seized a Marlin rifle and 19 bullets. Azzara was arrested for felony criminal threatening with a firearm.

Police affidavits said during the past July 4th weekend, some juveniles carrying BB guns were walking by Azzara’s house and he had allegedly

threatened “to shoot them” if they didn’t get away from his property.

When police interviewed him in July, he said he had no recollection of the incident.

Lt. Keith True said Azzara’s record revealed he has a 1998 conviction for possession of a controlled drug and two 1987 convictions for criminal trespass. True said he was also taken into police custody in 2005 because of excessive intoxication.

True asked for $10,000 cash-only bail.

from preceding page laws passed by the entire legislative body, “not the law that the Speaker wishes had passed.”

“The law the legislature passed did

not, in any way, modify the definition of residency,” Delaney said. “I will not allow politics to dictate the state’s legal position.”

Military Honors

Pearl Pauline Clairmont was born July 6, 1921 in Laconia, NH. Pearl met Samuel Harry Brooks , born Aug 2, 1919, from Boston, MA while they were both serving in the military. They fell in love. Many predicted, “There’s too many differences, it’ll never last!”

“He’s a city boy, she’s a country girl.

He’s a Jew, she’s a Catholic!” Harry was a private in the U.S. Air Force and Pearl was a Corporal in the Women’s Army Air Corp. They were married Jan 6, 1945, which required Pearl to quit the military. Soon, their son, Raymond (Pete) was born and then, twin daughters, Pam and Paula. The family traveled from base to base as Harry continued his career from private to Master Sergeant.

He retired from the Air Force in 1967 and the family bought a cabin colony, Clairbrook Cottages on Weirs Blvd. Harry joined Laconia Fire Department and Pearl ran the cottages. After Harry retired from the fire department, they bought two small “nests” to fly from Winnisquam to Florida as typical snowbirds.

In the south, to keep busy, they joined a “hillbilly band,” and renewed their singing skills that had been dormant for many busy years, both becoming lead singers. They entertained at senior communities and other local functions. In the summers, they joined a travel club and visited many beautiful places in the northeast. In 2006, they moved back to New Hampshire full-time to be closer to family.

SMSGT James T. Heney was promoted to Senior Master Sargent in the US Air Force. He joined the Air Force in 1991.

Republicans’ voter registration effort in Florida comes under increasing scrutiny

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — What first appeared to be an isolated problem in one Florida county has now spread statewide, with election officials in nine counties informing prosecutors or state election officials about questionable voter registration forms filled out on behalf of the Republican Party of Florida.

State Republican officials already have fired the vendor it had hired to register voters, and took the additional step of filing an election fraud complaint against the company, Strategic Allied Consulting, with state officials. That complaint was handed over Friday to state law-enforcement authorities.

A spokesman for Florida’s GOP said the matter was being treated seriously.

“We are doing what we can to find out how broad the scope is,” said Brian Burgess, the spokesman.

Florida is the battleground state where past election problems led to the chaotic recount that followed the 2000 presidential election.

The Florida Democratic Party called on the state to “revoke” the ability of state Republicans to continue to register voters while the investigation continues. Oct. 9 is the deadline to register to vote in the

Nov. 6 presidential election.

“It is clear that the Republican Party of Florida does not have the institutional controls in place to be trusted as a third-party, voter registration organization,” said Scott Arceneaux, executive director of the Florida Democratic Party.

The Republican Party of Florida has paid Strategic Allied Consulting more than $1.3 million, and the Republican National Committee used the group for work in Nevada, North Carolina, Colorado and Virginia.

The company said earlier this week that it was cooperating with elections officials in Florida. It said the suspect forms were turned in by one person, who has been fired.

“Strategic has a zero-tolerance policy for breaking the law,” Fred Petti, a company attorney, said Thursday.

An email request to the company seeking additional comment, following the company’s instructions, was not immediately returned Friday.

In Florida, it is a third-degree felony to “willfully submit” any false voter registration information, a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.

In recent years, Florida’s Republican-controlled Leg-

islature — citing suspicious voter registration forms turned in by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or ACORN — has cracked down on groups holding voter registration drives.

The League of Women Voters filed a federal lawsuit against some of the restrictions and Florida agreed earlier this month to drop a new requirement to turn in registration applications within 48 hours after they are signed. The state has reinstated a 10-day deadline.

The questionable forms tied to the Republican Party have showed up in South Florida, including Miami-Dade, as well as counties in southwest and northeast Florida as well as the Florida Panhandle.

Election officials in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties on Thursday handed over more than 100 suspect forms to local prosecutors. They did so days after officials in Palm Beach County also alerted prosecutors.

Ann Bodenstein, the elections supervisor for Santa Rosa County, said her staff started raising questions after an employee saw a form that changed the home address of a neighbor.

A ‘ Do the Right Thing’ guy

This small businessman is a Democrat to the core

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — With entrepreneurship a persistent theme in the presidential contest, Ted Strickland, the former governor of Ohio campaigning for President Obama yesterday, found himself at Witham Road, an unpaved spur off Old Marsh Hill Road, where Alan Korb owns and operates a handful of woodworking businesses from a workshop alongside his home.

As a sole proprietor, Korb runs the smallest of small businesses and, unlike most of his counterparts, is a staunch supporter of the president.

“I’ve donated to the campaign, volunteered to work the phone at headquarters, hosted a party for the Democratic National Convention and scheduled another party for the upcoming debate,” he said. “I guess that’s why they called me to meet Governor Strickland.

With square shoulders, muscular arms, a flat stomach and closely clipped graying hair, Korb resembles nothing so much as a retired law enforcement

officer. In fact, he spent 37 years in the restaurant business before leaving a job with Starbucks in 1995.

He was working as courier when, in 1997, he stepped on a Lego in his bare feet. “It hurt he said. “You didn’t hear him out in Ohio?” his wife Stevie asked Strickland. He went to his garage and with hand tools and a circular saw built a game table sturdy enough to take the punishment his son and his friends would inflict on it and with space to store toys and lego pieces inside instead on the floor.

During the next seven years, the original design underwent more than two dozen modifications, which were incorporated in a half-dozen prototypes, all given to family and friends.

In January, 2008 he began marketing the “Tuff Table,” which is guaranteed for life, on a website and in May formed Tuff Tables, LLC and Closet Furniture Company. The original “Tuff Table” now serves as a “tuffbench” in the shop.

Apart from the tables, Korb, who acquired the capital for his business

by renovating and reselling homes, also does custom cabinetry, including fitted kitchens and closets fashioned in fine woods, as well as builds and repairs furniture. He said that he has a handful of skilled craftsmen to assist him with major projects. He markets his work through Merchant’s Circle and Angie’s List and copyrighted the motto “good enough is not good enough” when he heard Burger King using a similar catchphrase. “I’d been saying that for years,” he said.

“I try to be as green as possible, “ Korb said, explaining that he regularly uses recycled wood and formed the Home Recycled Furniture Com-

pany, with the motto “saving the earth one tree at a time.” He recalled happening on someone throwing away two solid cherry bookcases — “eight feet high, six feet wide and four feet deep” — which he promptly hailed away in his van. “That’s $3,000 worth of solid cherry for nothing,” he said, adding he also salvaged orphaned mahogany from a corporate boardroom. When not recycling, Korb insisted “I only use American products, from power tools down to nails, nuts and bolts,” Korb had no complaints about the plight of the small businessman. “I got an accountant,” he said. “I’m a wood guy.” He noted that he was able to write-off the cost of a van ands some his equipment on his taxes and does not suffer under onerous regulations.

Massachusetts chemist accused of faking state drug test results is arrested BOSTON (AP) — A Massachusetts chemist accused of faking drug test results now finds herself in the same position as the accused drug dealers she testified against: charged with a crime and facing years in prison.

Annie Dookhan, 34, of Franklin, was arrested Friday from preceding page Strickland, who spent the day visiting with small business owners in Littleton, Berlin, North Conway and Wolfeboro, many of whom he noted had links to Ohio, was clearly taken with Korb. By contrast with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, whose money he said “needs a passport,” he lauded Korb as “an economic patriot.”

in a burgeoning investigation that has already led to the shutdown of a state drug lab, the resignation of the state’s public health commissioner and the potential upending of thousands of criminal cases.

“Annie Dookhan’s alleged actions corrupted the integrity of the entire criminal justice system,” state Attorney General Martha Coakley said during a news conference after Dookhan’s arrest. “There are many victims as a result of this.”

Dookhan faces more than 20 years in prison on charges of obstruction of justice and falsely pretending to hold a degree form a college or university.

Dookhan’s alleged mishandling of drug samples prompted the shutdown of the Hinton State Laboratory Institute in Boston last month.

State police say Dookhan tested more than 60,000

drug samples involving 34,000 defendants during her nine years at the lab. Defense lawyers and prosecutors are scrambling to figure out how to deal with the fallout.

Since the lab closed, more than a dozen drug defendants are back on the street while their attorneys challenge the charges based on Dookhan’s misconduct.

Many more defendants are expected to be released.

Authorities say more than 1,100 inmates are currently serving time in cases in which Dookhan was the primary or secondary chemist.

During Dookhan’s arraignment in Boston Municipal Court, Assistant Attorney General John Verner called the charges against Dookhan “preliminary” and said a “much broader” investigation is being conducted.

Lakes Region Community College announces new Vice President of Student Services & Enrollment BELMONT — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) has announced that Dr. Larissa Baia is the new Vice President of Student Services and Enrollment Management. Although Dr. Baia has just recently started in her new position at LRCC, she has already made an impact on students during the summer term. “Dr. Baia seems to be a very friendly and intelligent woman,” says Carol Bourque, who is now completing LRCC’s summer term, having earned a perfect 4.0 grade point average in her first semester this past spring. “LRCC is a great place to further my education and I look forward to the new fall semester. The changes and improvements Dr. Baia is contemplating for LRCC are very exciting; I feel she will be a great asset to the College.”

Dr. Baia earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Economics at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. and later completed the Master’s Degree and Ph.D. in Latin American Studies and Political Science at the University of Florida. Dr. Baia served most recently as Associate Vice President of Enrollment Management at Manchester Community College since 2008.

OBITUARY

Amy E. (Annis) Colby, 32 NOTTINGHAM — Amy Elizabeth (Annis) Colby, 32, of Nottingham NH, passed away peacefully on September 25, 2012 at Brigham and Women’s Hospital after a courageous four year battle with metastatic breast cancer. Amy was surrounded by the friends and family who knew and loved her best.

Born January, 18, 1980, Amy grew up in Gilmanton NH, graduating from Gilford High School in 1998. She then moved to Boston, graduating from Suffolk University in 2002 and began her career in law as a paralegal. Pursuing her passion for law, Amy then attended Massachusetts School of Law, graduating in 2010.

While in law school, Amy met the love of her life, Officer David Colby of the Portsmouth Police Department. Her commitment to her family led her back to New Hampshire. She, David and his two children settled on the Seacoast, bought a house and began to build their life together. Amy and David married in August of 2011.

Amy was never idle. In her downtime, she embraced her artistic eye, crafting homemade sentiments that would preserve her fondest memories of her friends and family. The house she shared with David quickly became a galleria of her most treasured memories and crafts.

One of Amy’s greatest pleasures in life was seeing the excitement and joy that she could generate in someone else. She often splurged on her family and friends, showering them with gifts of her favorite things. Even when she was struggling through the most trying days of her disease, her concern and love was always directed toward those closest to her.

Amy was a vivacious and passionate woman, her enthusiasm for life infectious. She was a devoted wife, a loving stepmother, an irreplaceable daughter, an unbelievable sister, an adoring aunt and a loyal friend to many.

Amy is survived by her loving husband, David and stepchildren Madison and Parker Colby of Nottingham; her parents Anne and Andrew Bartlett of Gilmanton and Randy and Mia Annis of Laconia; her sister Samantha and husband Adam Hawkins of Gilmanton; nephew Owen Hawkins of Gilmanton; her brother, Stephen Bartlett of Gilmanton; her brother, Geremy Annis of Laconia; her sister, Lydia Bartlett of Gilmanton, maternal grandfather Roland Mailloux of Laconia; paternal grandmother Barbara Annis of Laconia; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Amy was pre-deceased by her paternal grandfather, James Annis of Gilford in 1997; and her maternal grandmother, Angela Mailloux of Laconia in 2012.

The family would like to thank the Lakes Region and Seacoast communities for their continued support during Amy’s fight against breast cancer as well as acknowledge the outstanding care that she received at Dana Farber and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston during the course of her illness.

A celebration of Amy’s life, for all those who would like to attend, will be held on Sunday, October 7th, 2012, from 1 pm to 4 pm at the Four Corners Brick House located at 525 Province Road in Gilmanton NH. A donation in lieu of flowers can be made to: Friends of Amy, Bank of New Hampshire, 62 Pleasant Street, Laconia, NH 03246.

Wolfeboro Friends of Music hosting Jim Witter’s October 13 ‘The Piano Men’ concert WOLFEBORO — The Wolfeboro Friends of Music will present “The Piano Men” concert at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 13, on the expansive stage of the Kingswood Arts Center.

“The Piano Men” features the songs that Elton John and Billy Joel originated during the1970’s decade. The Wolfeboro Friends of Music, with the sponsorship of Points North Financial, has booked the show which is expertly crafted by Jim Witter, a Dove Award nominee and Canadian Juno Award nominee. Witter’s golden tenor voice and presence at the piano, backed up with live sound from his fourmember instrumental band, salute two of the century’s most popular song writers.

Rear screen projection on-stage is an integral part of the experience, weaving past sights and present sounds beginning with “Your Song” moving hit-by-hit through such chart classics as “My Life,” “Candle in the Wind,” “Rocket Man,” “Just the Way You Are” and many more.

“The Piano Men” will have performed this show in 34 U.S. cities before 2012 is over, and given a nine-

venue tour in Holland in November. Now based in Toronto and Nashville, Jim Witter is a Southern Ontario (Canada) native who started at a very early age performing in the comfort of his own living room. His mother would play piano, and Jim would belt out the current hits. He knew that he was destined to have a career in the music business. “I never really thought of doing anything else,” he says, “and neither did my parents because they always encouraged me to follow my dream.” [Naples Daily News] This concert is the second of eight programs presented by Wolfeboro Friends of Music to people of the greater Lakes Region during its season, which runs from September through May. Tickets are available for $25 at the door; at Black’s Paper Store and Avery Insurance in Wolfeboro; or at Innisfree Bookshop in Meredith; by calling (603) 569-2151; or by visiting the website at www.wfriendsofmusic.org. Note WFOM’s special policy: High school students with ID will be admitted free of charge. A child accompanied by an adult ticket purchaser will be admitted free of charge.

BELMONT — Members of the Belmont High School (BHS) chapter of Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) are busy at work preparing for their Sixth Annual Holiday Fair to be held at BHS on Saturday, November 10 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

According to FBLA advisor Ben Hill, the fair has become a huge event with 30-plus students participating in the planning, organizing, market-

ing, and execution of the fair. Students also worked in partnership with WLNH last year, donating $500 from fair proceeds to the WLNH Children’s Auction in exchange for a little help with promotion of the fair.

“It really has turned into a wonderful opportunity for students to work on something real outside of the classroom, and they really enjoy working with local businesses, vendors, and shoppers. There is a great deal of pride associated with the holiday fair and the growth it has experienced over the last several years. I am very thankful for all of the community support we have received.” Last year’s event included approximately 90 vendors and approximately 2,000 shoppers.

Similar to last year’s fair, a wide variety of crafters and vendors are expected, and students will be on hand conducting a raffle and selling breakfast, lunch, see next page

A Knight for the Children

Ever heard of a Carolina Dog? If not, then come and see Omega, mysteriously named and of unusual origin.

You see, the Carolina Dog originates from the Deep South - the first domesticated dog of the Americas no less. Of somewhat independent nature - they evolved able to take care of themselves in the absence of humans; dogs such as Omega will always look for guidance from a strong pack leader.

She’d enjoy the company of a tightly knit ‘pack’ that could include dogs and older children. Omega will initiate play with a basket full of soft toys to chuck about the house! Cats however, would find themselves quickly under house arrest since this breeds natural tendency is to hunt. Tweak that hunting skill into mindful intelligent play, agility, and long, long walks, just the ticket on cool crisp Autumn mornings. Omega will be loyal, steadfast and true.

To meet Omega please visit New Hampshire Humane Society. Call (603) 524-3252 or check www.nhhumane.org.

Learn the fundamentals. Practice the basics. Much will be accomplished with simple kindness, clean work and fair practice. The more elaborate parts of your deal will never work until the fundamentals are firmly laid.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You still long to make a contribution in a certain realm. Probably you’ve wanted to do this since childhood. You’ll see a way now, as the full moon shines a light on new people and opportunities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Believe it or not, your enemy is a more important part of your team than your friends and supporters today, as no one will be as motivating. Also, you’ll go out of your way not to become like a bad example.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As the lunar influence leaves your part of the sky, you may feel misplaced. There is strength in your position, nonetheless.

When you’re not where you’re supposed to be, you’ll rely on the courage of your convictions.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 29).

You were meant to be in charge, and you will be in October, sharing your skills with those who can benefit from them the most. A desire for fitness will have you changing core habits in 2013.

You’ll be charmed by a feisty character and may decide to make this person a regular companion. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 15, 48, 11 and 20.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). With the full moon in your sign, it takes no effort at all for you to come on strong.

Do less. Your presence is felt because you don’t try. Instead, you seize or don’t seize the moment according to your feelings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Getting what you want can sometimes be like winning second prize. When you don’t get what you want, you gain experience, which is often the best prize there is.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you played on a soccer team as a child, you might agree that the teamwork and sportsmanship you learned were far more important than whether you won the game of soccer. Today’s task will be the same.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will someday meet the very same person you idolize today. So pick your heroes carefully. Make sure they are worthy of the attention and adoration you freely give.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The reality you build around yourself has a magical quality. You don’t see it anymore.

You’re too close to all you’ve built.

Today, though, you’ll see it in another person’s eyes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be magnetically attractive to the one whose agenda is in opposition to yours.

It’s unavoidable and also quite helpful.

You’ll be better for having to convince others of the importance of your mission.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may not escape the day without criticism.

If it comes from someone you love, you’re in luck. The one who keeps after you is hard on you only because he or she sees and believes in the beauty of

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 29, 2012— Page 25

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Sept. 29, the 273rd day of 2012. There are 93 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 29, 1862, Prussia’s newly appointed minister-president, Otto von Bismarck, delivered a speech to the country’s parliament in which he declared the issue of German unification would be decided “not through speeches and majority decisions” but by “iron and blood (Eisen und Blut).”

On this date: In 1789, the U.S. War Department established a regular army with a strength of several hundred men.

In 1829, London’s reorganized police force, which became known as Scotland Yard, went on duty.

In 1907, the foundation stone was laid for the Washington National Cathedral, which wasn’t fully completed until this date in 1990.

In 1938, British, French, German and Italian leaders concluded the Munich Agreement, which was aimed at appeasing Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland.

In 1957, the New York Giants played their last game at the Polo Grounds, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1.

In 1962, Canada joined the space age as it launched the Alouette 1 satellite from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The musical “My Fair Lady” closed on Broadway after 2,717 performances.

In 1978, Pope John Paul I was found dead in his Vatican apartment just over a month after becoming head of the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.)

In 1987, Henry Ford II, longtime chairman of Ford Motor Co., died in Detroit at age 70.

In 2005, John G. Roberts Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s 17th chief justice after winning Senate confirmation.

One year ago: Germany kept alive hopes that the 17-nation euro currency could survive the debt crisis as lawmakers in Europe’s largest economy voted overwhelmingly in favor of expanding the powers of the eurozone’s bailout fund.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Instant gratification There were 93 residential home sales at an average price of $345,705 in August in the Lakes Region communities covered by this report. That’s a 12 percent bump up from last August when there were 83 homes sold at an average of $330,718.

That’s a pretty good month in my book, but we still haven’t made that magic 100 sales in a month this summer that I was looking for. Maybe we’ll make it in September?

This is the age of unlimited gigabytes, high speed computers, 3G, 4G, instant messaging, and on demand movies. It’s also the age of “Instant Gratification.” Let’s denote that as “IG” to keep it short. Everyone wants everything right now.

It is getting more and more difficult to keep up with the ever increasing expectations of consumers no matter what the product or service is. For example, if someone walks into a store shopping for a certain brand and size flat screen TV and it is not in stock, he is likely to go to the next store to see if they have it. No one orders anything from a store if they can take it home the same day from another. Now millions of people do buy stuff over the Internet as long as they can get it delivered absolutely positively overnight. But if a particular website doesn’t have the item the buyer is likely to go to the next entry down in the Google search and try to order it from there. This is what IG is all about.

In today’s on-demand real estate market, agents receive inquiries from prospective buyers by phone, e-mail, or text messages. Buyers often are looking for more information about a certain property or would like to set up a showing to see it. Many times their IG instinct kicks in and they say “...I’m sitting in front of this house, can I see it

now?” Usually this call or message turns the agent who received it into what we call a “Pop Tart.” A Pop Tart eagerly jumps up from his desk or leaves whatever he is doing to run and show a property either because; (1) it is his listing and he feels he owes his client everything short of falling on a sword or (2) he desperately needs the money. Now if the agent doesn’t answer the phone or return the text or email instantaneously there is a 100 percent probability that buyer on the other end of the line will contact another agent. But, the chances of a sale resulting out this kind of showing is only about .73-percent, yet new Pop Tarts are toasted every day!

Sometimes, potential buyers would like to see several properties and say “we’re coming up tomorrow,

I’ll e-mail you a list of what we’d like to see...” A few days notice would be nice, but OK no problem. Buyers believe that agents are sitting by the phone or computer just waiting to hear from someone they have never met before to go look at property. Well, most of the time agents are actually out of the office at appointments, looking at property, doing presentations, stuffing their faces at a broker open house (our main source of sustenance), or some other real estate related activity. This is where the “Smart Phone” comes in handy to receive phone and text messages and e-mail anywhere in the world except for parts of see SANBORN page 30

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: For years, I have been attending friends’ weddings, showers, graduation parties, birthday parties, engagement parties and other happy occasions.

The problem is, these things require me to give up my time and money. I don’t want to make enemies, but I truly do not care that your great-granddaughter is having a baby.

I don’t know the girl and wouldn’t recognize her parents.

You might think you are sharing your joy, but in reality, you are sharing stress: yours for planning, holding and paying for the event, and mine for getting to and from, finding a card and gift, and enduring the event. Believe it or not, some people who watch a pregnant girl open 50 shower gifts can’t wait for the last one to be opened so they can leave.

Is there ever a way to retire from being invited to people’s parties? I know I can send regrets along with a gift.

But these invitations feel like invoices. How do I get on a “Do Not Invite” list? -- Please Don’t Invite Me Dear Please: It’s not that difficult. Respond with regrets, and only send gifts to those people you care about. If your friend’s great-granddaughter’s second cousin is getting married, you do not have to go, and you are not obligated to send a present. If you can manage a card with good wishes, that is more than enough. If they are looking only for financial rewards, rest assured they will eventually stop inviting you.

Dear Annie: I am 63 years old and have been in a serious relationship with “Frank” for four years. The only thing we argue about is his ex-girlfriend.

They are in continuous contact because several years ago he helped her with a substantial loan and she has been slowly paying it back. At first, this didn’t bother me, but after reading a few of her emails asking him to leave me and

be with her, she has become a thorn in our relationship.

The real problem is, Frank keeps his communication with her secret. I noticed on our cellphone bill that he was texting and speaking with her on a daily basis, and some of the texts are of a sexual nature. While I am sure nothing else is going on, this behavior is disturbing. He does not understand why this upsets me and says, “I never act on it.”

I have asked him to keep their contact transparent. I have pleaded and threatened. He called her in my presence to say she is not to contact him again except about the loan, but within a day, they had switched to his business phone.

She is like a shark circling, waiting for me to leave. He is the only one who has the power to stop it and chooses to let it keep happening even though he knows it hurts me. By the time you get this, I will have said goodbye. I guess I just needed to vent. -- California Dear California: Glad we could help you sort out your thoughts. We agree that this situation is not healthy, and Frank is not behaving in a trustworthy manner.

Dear Annie: “Old in Indiana” asked how to divide up her belongings. My mother-in-law got it right. She invited her children, in-laws, grandchildren and best friends to an open house. If we saw something we liked, we were to write it down in a small notebook. Before we left, we prioritized our list.

If more than one person wanted something, Mom checked our priorities and decided who would have it. When she passed away, we each received a handwritten note from her telling us what we got and why she was happy to give it to us. We each received at least one item we really wanted, and no one had cause to argue. -- B.

conflict with basketball practice, a birthday party, Aunt Hilda’s visit, and so on. If the time isn’t convenient, the seller calls his agent back to tell him the showing needs to be a half hour later, or earlier, or maybe not until tomorrow and that totally screws up the logistics of this impromptu, but meticulously planned and timed ballet. Adjustments and realignments are made to keep the IG in focus. The sellers then scurry off to dust, de-clutter, and defrag (that’s a technical computer term, those who know will understand it) the home to make it show ready.

When viewed from outer space with state of the art heat sensing equipment, the locations of the agents and their clients glow brightly as a result of cell phones being overheated and vacuum cleaners frantically whirring to make the IG possible to thousands of impatient would be home owners. It’s like looking at ever changing, brightly glowing, constellations. It also kind of reminds you of those Verizon commercials on TV that show they have the most coverage. Truly beautiful.

The smart phone rings just as the agent grabs his morning cup of coffee to head out to the first showing. The number is recognized and the call immediately answered so as to adhere to IG protocol. “ Hi, aahhh, we have to cancel for today, something has come up and we can’t make it. I really hope you didn’t go through too much trouble?” “No, not at all, no problem, will I see you next week??”

John Wilson of New London given ‘Spirit of the Loon’ award

by Loon Preservation Committee MOULTONBOROUGH- At its Annual Meeting on Aug. 23rd, the Loon Preservation Committee (LPC) honored John Wilson of Pleasant Lake, New London with the 2012 Spirit of The Loon Award, given annually to an individual who exemplifies outstanding volunteer service to loons and the Loon Preservation Committee.

The LPC Board established the Spirit of the Loon Award in 2008, in honor of the 100th birthday of its founder Rawson Wood, who was recognized as the first recipient of the award.

John Wilson has been active in loon conservation and an active LPC volunteer since his wife Kittie first became involved in 2003. John has built numerous loon nesting rafts for Pleasant Lake and other lakes in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. He accepted the position of Chair of the Policy Committee for the NH Lakes Association (NH LAKES) last year and immediately persuaded them to support SB 224, legislation to increase restrictions on the sizes of

lead-headed jigs that are the primary known cause of death of adult loons in New Hampshire. John worked tirelessly to persuade NH Fish & Game staff and Commissioners to support this issue, in order to secure sponsors for the legislation in the Senate and House. Ultimately those efforts fell short but it was not for lack of trying on John’s part, and he intends to continue to pursue legislative and educational efforts, including a joint project between LPC and NH LAKES, the Lead-Free Lakes Initiative, to protect loons from lead fishing tackle.

John has been actively involved in the Pleasant Lake Protective Association (PLPA) as a past president for three terms. John serves on the PLPA Wildlife Committee and chairs the PLPA Exotic Invasive Weed Prevention Committee as well as the Watershed Conservation Committee. He is also Captain of the Weed Watchers on Pleasant Lake.

John also serves the Town of New London as a member of the Budget Committee.

Sunday School program starts with breakfast GILMANTON — Gilmanton Community Church Sunday School will start with a Pancake Breakfast on October 7, at 10 a.m. at the Iron Works Church.

Registration will take place following the breakfast. For more information, contact Bethany Lavin at 267-1934 or the church office at 3647891.
