Young Laconia woman dies in I-93 car crash; male driver said to have been trying to get away from police pursuit
Paige Garneau had been arrested just a day earlier for unauthorized taking of family vehicle BY GAIL OBE
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — State Police continue to investigate the car accident that claimed the life of a 19-year-old Laconia woman early Sunday morning. N.H. State Police said Paige E.
Garneau, 19, was a passenger in a car driven by Robert M. Pitts, 18, of Weare, New Hampshire. Pitts survived the crash but has been charged with a number of felony crimes. Police from Tilton and Northfield were attempting to stop
Pitts at around 2:45 a.m. when he entered Interstate 93 at Exit 19 and headed south. Pitts left the highway at Exit 17-E and failed to negotiate the long, curved exit ramp. Police said the car he was driving, a black 2012 Chevrolet
Impala, left the exit ramp and struck several trees. Both occupants of Chevy were taken to Concord Hospital where Garneau was pronounced dead and Pitts was treated for what police are see FATAL CRASH page 11

N.J. man arrested in deadly stabbing attack on 2 sleeping kids TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — A man high on PCPlaced marijuana stabbed two neighborhood children in their home while they slept, killing a 6-year-old boy and critically wounding his 12-year-old sister, authorities said. Osvaldo Rivera was found hiding between a mattress and a bedroom wall Sunday afternoon inside a Camden apartment and was charged Monday with murder and attempted murder, said Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for the Camden County prosecutor’s office. The attack was the second recent one in Camden, an impoverished city across the river from Philadelphia, involving a child and a suspect said to be high on PCP and marijuana. Rivera, 31, was being held in jail awaiting arraignment, which Laughlin said will likely be held Tuesday. Laughlin didn’t know if Rivera had an attorney.
N.H. Fish & Game seeks help identifying shooter of a loon on Pittsburg lake
PITTSBURG, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Department of Fish and Game is asking for help from the public in solving the shooting of a federally protected loon in a lake in the town of Pittsburg. The bird was found in late August in Back Lake after its condition was reported to state officials. Regional Wildlife Biologist Will Staats says the bird was incapacitated to the point that he could reach under a dock and pick it up. A full-body X-ray found dozens of shotgun pellets as well as fishing tackle. The bird was later euthanized. In addition to being protected by state law, loons are also federally protected. The penalties for taking or attempting to take a loon can include a fine of up to $250,000. Meredith Cinema Meredith Shopping Ctr. • 279-7836 www.barnzs.com Tuesday (9/4) thru Thursday (9/6)

Police found blood-stained sneakers inside the apartment where Rivera was arrested that matched bloody footprints in the home where Dominick Andujor was stabbed to death, Laughlin said. The boy’s 12-year-old sister had her throat slit while she slept in the same room. She remained hospitalized Monday at Cooper University Hospital in Camden. The hospital, though, has declined to discuss her condition, citing privacy reasons. While being questioned by investigators, Rivera said he had smoked a combination of marijuana and the hallucinogenic drug PCP before the attack, Laughlin said. On Aug. 22, 33-year-old Chevonne Thomas of Camden allegedly decapitated her 2-year-old toddler and then fatally stabbed herself after smoking a similar combination, known as “wet.” Laughlin said there have been several other mur-
ders in recent years in which PCP-laced marijuana has apparently played a role. He said the drug combination makes people incoherent, hallucinatory and, in some cases, violent, adding that authorities plan to take steps to curb the drug’s market. The children stabbed Sunday were being watched by a 14-year-old girl, authorities said. The teen, who was unharmed, was caring for them because their mother recently underwent surgery and was still in the hospital. Laughlin said the 12-year-old, whose name wasn’t released, fled the home after the attack and was found at a neighbor’s home a few doors down. Police soon went to the girl’s home and were met by another child who ran outside, screaming for help for her brother. The 6-year-old boy was found lying on the floor.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Tens of thousands of customers remained in the dark Monday in Louisiana and Mississippi, nearly a week after Isaac inundated the Gulf Coast with a deluge that still has some lowlying areas under water. Most of those were in Louisiana, where utilities reported more than 100,000 people without power. Thousands also were without power in Mississippi and Arkansas. President Barack Obama visited Monday, a day ahead of the Democratic National Convention, and walked around storm damage in St. John the Baptist Parish, where subdivisions were soaked in water from Isaac.
“I know it’s a mess,” Obama said as he approached a resident in the Ridgewood neighborhood. “But we’re here to help.” Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney visited the state Friday. In St. John the Baptist Parish, residents spent Labor Day dragging waterlogged carpet and furniture to the curb and using bleach and water to clean hopefully to prevent mold. LaPlace resident Barbara Melton swept mud and debris from her home, which was at one point under 2 feet of water. The garbage, debris and standing water — combined with heat reaching the 90s — see ISAAC page 12
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Mine unrest spread in South Africa as police and security guards fired rubber bullets and tear gas Monday at sacked gold miners attacking former colleagues trying to get to work, injuring four miners, according to the owner of the mine. The mine’s business associates previously involved relatives of Nelson Mandela and President Jacob Zuma and was the same place where firebrand politician Julius Malema, an avowed enemy of Zuma, last week pledged to make the nation’s mines ungovernable.
Cabinet ministers sought to reassure investors Monday even as Gold Fields International spokesman Sven Lunsche said some 12,000 of the company’s workers “continue to engage in an unlawful and unprotected strike” that began Wednesday. The mine unrest reached a bloody climax on Aug. 16 when police shot 112 striking workers, killing 34 of them, at a platinum mine at Marikana, northwest of Johannesburg. The state violence was reminiscent of apartheid days and has damaged the govsee SOUTH AFRICA page 10

Perspectives: Pt. VI of VI

Move-in Day at PSU: A time for letting go By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
PLYMOUTH — Yesterday, more than a thousand families delivered a student to Plymouth State University. The experience, and the life changes it represented, was exciting to both students and their parents. Dylan Parker started his education at Barnstead Elementary School and graduated from Prospect Mountain High School earlier this year. A lifeguard in the summer, he found that he had a knack for working with young children, so he plans to pursue the field of early childhood education. He picked Plymouth for a few reasons: the financial package was attractive, his older brother is a junior at the school, and he likes the campus’s setting in the mountains. “It has a lot of options of stuff for me to do,” he said of the outdoor recreation possibilities.
For Suzanne Parker, Dylan’s mother, “It’s exciting, it’s the next big step for him.” She’s supportive of his choice of studies, referring to his summer job of teaching young children how to swim. “He’s fantastic with kids... It’s a great choice for him.” Michael Hamel, a Londonderry resident who also has a seasonal property on Ossipee Lake in Effingham, was on campus to help is youngest daughter Cassie move in to her university dorm. “It’s time, she’s 18, it’s time for her to get her life going.” Hamel didn’t go to college, instead he joined the family’s auto repair business at the age of 14. Now, he runs the business, located in Lowell, Mass., and has been able to send both his daughters to university. Returning to the pick-up truck loaded with everything a freshman needs, Cassie reported, “I feel pretty good now. I saw my room for the first time.” see MOVE-IN page 12

Oh yes, “Perspectives”, my six part mini-series on how we could consider balancing our retirement planning as effectively as possible. This being part VI of VI, I decided to look up the definition of “perspective”. I googled it and here is what I found: the proper or accurate point of view or the ability to see it; the state of one’s ideas, the facts known to one etc. etc… In order for you and I to act we must utilize what we know and we need to take action. History has taught us that the past repeats itself unless we get the correct perspective. This is no laughing matter, as we age, our thoughts change to the big picture, and aging seniors don’t always make the best choices when it comes to selecting HEALTH CARE, INSURANCE, ESTATE PLANNING AND INVESTMENTS. My theory on this is simple; there are not that many advisors that take the time, nor do they truly understand what it takes, to give the proper advice to aging Americans. In order to truly help retirees and older Americans the advisor must try to see the world through their eyes, all pertinent information must be communicated. For example: “I, Dave Kutcher, think you should consider a Life Insurance Policy with Long Term Care benefits linked to the face amount of the insurance. If you need chronic health care benefits, it is there, if you need access to your money, you have it, and when you die the death benefit is TAX FREE.” When trust is established proposing product solutions is readily accepted and makes sense to all parties. An advisor that cares for his clients recommends the most beneficial plans and products for them and the process is seamless. If a senior has additional monies it might make sense to chart a different course. Offering protection verses making more money is one option. Health care costs account for 80% of the last 20% of your life expenses. Because of this it would be wise to have an understanding of Long Term medical expenses and how this could effect the pocket book for the retiree, long term. Reality If in part the definition of Perspective is:” a visible scene, especially one extending to a distance, vista”, then taking effective action now rather than later impacts our future reality. For example: Your perspective will change on how you see the world and you will have learned from lessons in your life. The same can be said for taking the time to understand how important it is to make smart choices with your money and health. Let’s say you have 300-500 thousand for retirement, this can be wiped out due to chronic illness in less than 4 years. In looking at the above scenario wouldn’t it have made more sense, 5 to 10 years earlier, to have purchased some type of insurance plan for a few thousand dollars a year? If you are 65, have $400,000 in your IRA, then take a hard hit in the market and lose half the value of your IRA it would require you, the investor, to earn 100% return for you to be made whole. What’s even worse is the U.S. Markets not cooperating and at age 70 ½ you need to withdraw the required minimum distribution. Are you getting the picture? It can all go in the wrong direction very quickly. Conclusion Having “perspective” is total awareness and making smart, educated choices with respect to your hard earned retirement dollars. It’s about knowing and influencing your life in such a manner so that things turn out well for you and your family. Thank you all for reading my six part series and all the best.

John & Jane Doe in over their heads Jane and John Doe live in Anytown, USA. They may be your neighbors or go to the same church as you do. Your kids went to school together and now your grandchildren and theirs are in summer camp. Jane and John have an income of about $50,000 a year . . . enough to qualify them as middle class. They have a modest home in a decent neighborhood, and drive a six year old car that they would like to replace. They’re hesitating on the car because their credit cards are maxed out, and they already took the equity out of their house when the housing market was booming. Their combined debt is right around $104,000. John figured out that while they have earned $50,000 a year, they have been spending about $70,000. They try to put away enough to be able to pay their taxes and their insurance on the house and car, but it seems like they can never get ahead. John decided to ask the boss for another raise. He had just received one three months ago and he was pretty close to the max for his job skill . . . no matter who he worked for. The boss said no, and told him there are lines of people who would like to come in and take his job, even at a lower rate. The economy is in the tank, he told John, and said that with the new government regulations, he didn’t know whether or not he was going to be able to maintain the employee benefit package that cost the company about 38-percent on top of the wages that were being paid. John left the boss’ office wondering if there was ever going to be an answer to his financial problem. As he was leaving work for the day, he bumped into his old friend Jerry. He asked Jerry if they could stop and have some coffee as he, John, wanted to get his input on some questions. Jerry agreed and, over coffee, John confessed to his financial dilemma, spending almost 50-percent more than he made year over year. He asked Jerry if he had the same problem and Jerry said, definitely not. Jerry then went on to question John about what he spent his money on, what he did each time he got a raise, what happened to the equity he took out of the house, and so on. Jerry’s brow furrowed as John spoke of some great vacations, the new car they bought six years ago with the equity money, the pool they put in the back yard and, of course, everyone knew that he and Jane always dressed with the best. When John got through, Jerry asked if he knew who was to blame for the problem. John said the problem
was that there just wasn’t enough money coming in. Jerry got a little heated and said, no John, that’s not the case. The problem is there’s too much money going out. John got somewhat sheepish at this point and listened carefully as Jerry explained how he stayed solvent. He said, when I got a raise in my paycheck, I put the same amount in my checking account and the raise went into savings. It wasn’t a struggle because we were used to living on what I was making before I got the raise. I probably got raises for eight or 10 years before I felt the need to give the household budget a raise. We shopped for everything. By that I mean that we scoured all the ads and bought what was on sale. If it wasn’t on sale, something just as good was. Same thing with clothes and other household items. Even travel . . . do you know that if you plan ahead you can shop airlines and get some phenomenal deals on the ticket prices. And don’t drive and park your car at the airport, that can be more expensive than the cost of your airfare. Get a family or friend to drive you to and from the terminal and fill them up with a tank of gas. And so forth. If you think this story is far fetched, you’re wrong. Our federal government is Jane and John Doe. It spends almost 50-percent more than it collects in revenues. Each citizen’s share of the public debt is now $52,000 . . . more than that of any other country on the globe. The interest on the debt is outrageous, just like the maxed out credit cards of Jane and John. Future historians will cite November 6, 2012, as the date the United States chose their future. On the one hand, they might tell of an election in which the citizens chose to continue on a path of attempting to borrow and spend their way to prosperity. After a continuation of high unemployment and economic malaise, the once great nation became subservient to its creditors. On the other hand, historians might tell of how the citizens chose to resort to fiscal responsibility and the elimination of the uncertainty being caused by oppressive government regulation and taxation. The private sector responded to the change and the citizenry again began to invest in a growing private sector. As businesses prospered, tax revenues increased as did the workforce, and the government had the money to provide needed services. Like it or not, those are the options.

LETTERS There are over 2-million dead people registered to vote in U.S. To the editor, I am wondering if Dr. Thomas Dawson is really a doctor. I noticed that he has written and published a book. I am sure with the stories he comes up with in his letters to the editor that this book must be a fine piece of fiction. It takes quite a wild imagination to spin the stories that he tells. In his latest version he writes an open letter to Mary Reynolds, the City Clerk for Laconia. Having served on the City Council in Laconia I am quite familiar with Mary and she is a wonderful person who does a fantastic job. I don’t know why you would try to put a real person into your extreme fiction talking about voter intimidation? You start out by asking her if New Hampshire has passed a Voter ID law, which if you read the real stories in the paper at any sort of regular schedule you should remember that this law was passed. You ask Mary what this means to “us voters that have been using the past practice of showing up at the polls and voting using only the city checklist” and state this is a right guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution gives U.S. Citizens the right to vote and denies that right to non-citizens. It doesn’t say how verification is done to ensure that only a person with this right can vote and those who don’t have this right don’t vote. Somehow in your mind asking for an ID to verify the people who vote actually have this right is voter intimidation. What about the destruction of my rights by not having a way to ensure the non-citizen doesn’t cancel out my vote? If asking a voter to produce an ID
before voting is intimidating and discriminatory then is ObamaCare discriminatory since it requires anyone seeking and receiving medical care to produce an ID BEFORE RECEIVING treatment? Is it discriminatory for our government officials to require an ID before approving someone to receive welfare? Is it discriminatory for the police to ask for your ID should they have a legal reason to question you? What world does this fiction you right about take place? According to the Pew Center on the States in February 2012 there are over 2-million dead people on U.S. voter rolls and officials in Florida have found over 180,000 resident aliens and illegal aliens and over 200,000 dead people on the voter rolls in just two counties. These voters have actually voted in more than five statewide elections. Of course this isn’t voter fraud in your eyes, is it? By merely making the voters produce an official ID at the polls would stop these people from illegally voting. You somehow have tied the organization “True The Vote” to the Republican Tea Party. I looked at the website for this group. I wonder how you link a group that clearly states they are a non-partisan group of citizens to ensure free and fair elections as being solely a Tea Party group. This group is sponsored and supported by nonpartisan groups like C-Span and The Heritage Foundation. I would think that ALL Americans want free and fair elections. I am just wondering why you don’t?

We look forward to this once-a-year experience in humanity To the editor, On Saturday night my husband and I, with guests from Rumney and Sanbornton, met up with neighbors to participate in and enjoy the Pow-Wow held at the Dulac Land Trust in Sanbornton. Each year we are amazed at the dancing skills and the regalia of the tribal members who participate, often coming from afar. We can meet the challenge of the spiritual walking around the central tree, to the drum beat and the song. The bodily twirling and the syncopated head movements,
the concentrated-on swinging of hand-held, symbolic appurtenances – awe us, and humble us, and are beyond us. This focus in the dancing is lovely, and real enjoyment comes with seeing small children in their tribal dress learning the movements by watching and doing. Our first exposure to this cultural treasure in Sanbornton was accidental. We’d moved here 12 years ago, were out for an evening walk on Labor Day weekend, looked at each other and see next page

LETTERS New N.H. ID law gives voters confidence that their vote counts To the editor, In February 2012 a WMUR Granite State Poll performed by the UNH Survey Center revealed 68-percent of New Hampshire adults said they support a voter ID law (53-percent strongly support and 15-percent somewhat support), 24-percent oppose this law (18-percent strongly oppose and 6-percent somewhat oppose, and 7-percent are neutral or don’t know enough to say. Support for the law is bipartisan, with majorities of Republicans (87-percent), Independents (69-percent) and Democrats (52-percent) supporting the law. In March of 2012, I wrote a news column about legislation that would require photo identification when voting. The legislation did become law and will phase-in a photo identification requirement over a period of time. Consistent with an ongoing effort to communicate with you on issues in Concord and in the District, I’m hosting three public information sessions with the New Hampshire Deputy Secretary of State Dave Scanlan and Town Clerks. The Deputy Secretary of State will explain the new rules for casting ballots in the September and November elections. The sessions are open to the public and I hope you will be ableto attend. The sessions will be held: — Tuesday, September 4th from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Haverhill Town Hall — Wednesday, September 5th from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Pease Public Library in Plymouth — Thursday, September 6th from 6 – 7 p.m. at the Meredith Community Center For those of you who are not able to attend, I’ve outlined the process below: For the September 11th primary election, voters will be asked to provide one of the following: — Driver’s license issued by any state (even if expired) or, — ID card issued by NH DMV (Division of Motor Vehicles) or, — U.S. Armed Services ID card or, — U.S. Passport (even if expired) or, — Valid photo ID card issue by either the federal government or a state, county, or municipal government or, — Valid student ID card or, — Other photo ID deemed legitimate by the supervisors of the check-
list, the moderator, or the town clerk, or verification of identity by a supervisor of the checklist, the moderator, or the town clerk. If you do not have an approved photo ID from the list above, you will be informed of the new law and be permitted to vote. You will also be given an information document explaining the process. A voter who does not have an approved photo ID may obtain a free photo ID for voting purposes only by presenting a voucher from their town/city clerk or the Secretary of State to any NH DMV office that issues identification. For the November 6th general election, voters will be expected to present one of the photo IDs listed above. Any voter who does not present an approved photo ID will be permitted to vote after signing a “challenged voter affidavit.” After the election, you will receive a verification letter from the Secretary of State requesting confirmation that you voted in the election. If you do not respond in writing to the Secretary of State within 90 days of the date it was mailed, the Attorney General will conduct an investigation to determine whether fraudulent voting occurred. Nothing in this legislation prevents anyone from voting in any way. While it is estimated that 97-percent of voting age adults in NH have identification, it is important that those estimated 3-percent who don’t have ID do not have barriers that prevent them from voting. That is why they will still be able to vote after signing the challenged voter affidavit form. Additionally, these people will be given instructions on how to obtain a free voter identification card that can be used at each election going forward. These IDs would be paid for using Help America Vote Act funds — federal monies that can only be used for election-related purposes. This legislation gives voters confidence that their vote counts and isn’t that what we all want — to know that our vote makes a difference? As always I want to hear from you. If you have a concern you’d like to share, an event you’d like me to attend, or a problem you think I might be able to help with — please call or e-mail. Sen. Jeanie Forreseter N.H. Senate District 2 Meredith

LETTERS Dumping yard waste into streams is a really bad idea, here’s why To the editor, “What can it hurt if I dump a few bags of leaves and my grass clippings into the stream that runs behind my house? Anyway, my neighbor does it too!” Have you said this to yourself? The answer to this question is; dumping of yard waste into streams can contribute to toxic algae blooms, suffocate tree and shrub roots along the stream bank to the point where the plants die, kill fish by depriving them of waterbound oxygen, and increase flooding in your neighborhood not only by the number of times flooding occurs but also by how deep the flooding is. Things to consider when dumping yard waste into streams are: Dumping of yard waste adds an unnaturally high amount of rotting vegetation into the open water. Streams are “living” organisms in the sense that they require movement, oxygen, and digestion to be healthy. Dumping bags of yard waste into the stream is similar to you trying to eat two or three large pizzas in one sitting; when you’re done you can’t move, it’s hard to breath, and your stomach is struggling to digest all that food. Most likely you will become sick. Now imagine if every one of your neighbors took turns delivering two or three pizzas to you a couple of times a week over a month’s time... your body would start spilling and flooding over your waist band and out of your clothes. The same basic idea is true of streams when you, and your neighbors, dump yard waste into them. When dead leaves and grass clippings rot they release the fertilizers/ chemicals we’ve fed them, and the naturally occurring nutrients they took from the soil, back into the
ground. That’s why leaves and grass clippings turn into such rich compost! When you dump leaves and grass into the water they still release fertilizers/ chemicals and nutrients but this time they go straight into feeding water plants like algae. Overabundant algae is not only nasty to swim in but some varieties can be harmful. There are verified cases here in New Hampshire, and elsewhere, of pets and livestock dying of paralysis and organ failure from drinking water laden with toxic strains of blue-green algae (a.k.a cyanobacteria). Flooding in New Hampshire seems to be on the rise. There are a number of contributing factors like an increase in hard surfaces (roads, and roofs) that prevent water from soaking into the ground, drainage culverts that are undersized for the growing number of sub-divisions and streets, and an increase in the severity of rain storms we are experiencing. When we collectively dump a high volume of leaves and grass into the streams we are clogging them up and decreasing the amount of rain water the stream is able to handle during severe storms. For more information on composting of yard waste please visit the Belknap County Conservation District webpage at www.belknapccd.org, or for information regarding off-site disposal of yard waste please visit the City of Laconia’s Public Works webpage at http://www.city.laconia.nh.us/ index.php/departments/publicworksinside to view information about curbside pick-up and Brush Dump access.

Think taking over state roads a good idea? You’re from ‘away’ To the editor, I believe there’s something bad in the water in Meredith and town officials are partaking of it. To purpose to take over state roads and spend $7.5-million on repairs on them is preposterous. They must be desperate to find something to spend taxpayers money on. As Mr Frank Marino quoted in his letter to the editor, rough roads mean slower speeds — as like frost heaves, also safer roads and less need for police to patrol the roads = money saved. A portion of Routes 104 and 93 are in Meredith and are a little rough maybe we should take over those roads also
(being facetious ) Times are hard and it doesn’t look like there going to get better soon, loss of homes,cost of fuel, few jobs, We don’t need higher property taxes in Meredith. The private sector supports state and local government, no work, no money, no wealth to redistribute, no money for roads. Obviously, whoever came up with the idea to takeover state roads just has to be (like they say in Maine ) “from away” and has not simulated yet to the New Hampshire way — low taxes, small government and freedom.

Rep. Gregory Hill has demonstrated integrity & common sense To the editor, During redistricting, Franklin Ward 3 was blended with Northfield to create State Representative District Merrimack 3. Over the past 18 months I have watched as freshman Rep. Gregory Hill has navigated the legislative process to usher in the Tax Credit School Choice bill into law. It was not an easy task for Greg had to work closely with Senator Jim Forsythe, also a freshman, to override the veto pen of the governor. This law will allow school choice through scholarships for students who financially might not have the opportunity to make that decision.
Gregory Hill has demonstrated the integrity and common sense to bring a controversial but much needed piece of legislation through the process without compromising the fundamental principles of the bill. Greg continues to work with firm convictions for limited government, personal responsibility and justice for his constituents and the people of New Hampshire. It is with great pleasure that I endorse Representative Gregory Hill for the Merrimack 3 seat. Please give him a vote of confidence to further the good work he has initiated. Karen Testerman Franklin

LETTERS We did change ‘coaches’ & we’re now on the road to recovery
Bill Grimm has temperament & focus to be a fine state senator
To the editor, It is convention time! Last week the Republicans got together to give a clearer picture of how far to the right they have really slid. Their stand on the major issues of the day became crystal clear. They want to control everything from the bedroom to the barn. They omitted some important items such as the billion dollar a month war in Afghanistan, the trillions in tax cuts given to large oil corporations for “research and development”, or their plan to cut Medicare benefits for the foreseeable future. One thing they did address was the need for a new coach when the old one does not do the job. Mitt said that there were 23-million job seekers. He omitted the fact that we were losing 400,000 jobs a month under the old
To the editor, In the Republican State Senate primary on September 11th for District 7, representing Laconia, please join me in supporting Bill Grimm as the District 7 Senate nominee. Bill Grimm is in a race against Joshua Youssef. Bill is an individual I have known and observed for more than a decade. His public service track record demonstrates someone who is committed to improving his community, whether it is economic development, public safety, the quality of public education, veteran affairs, or access to quality health care. Bill has successfully served in substantive leadership positions both professionally and in public service; all of it with integrity, thoughtfulness and
coach. In fact, we did change “coaches” and we are now on the road to recovery. The failed policies of deregulation, the stalemate in Congress leading to no action on job policies cries for reform. President Obama believes that we need to fix Congress and its inability to move toward investing in our infrastructure, education and energy problems. The focus has to shift towards what is good for the nation, not the party. The choice could not be clearer. If you work hard, and play fair you ought to get a fair shake to get ahead. Create a better future for you and your family by supporting America with a vote for President Obama. Joe Denning Bristol
Omer Ahern takes job as Grafton commissioner very seriously To the editor, I write this letter to you to “sing the praises” of Omer Ahern, Jr., who is running for re-election as the District 3 Grafton County Commissioner. I have come to know Omer quite well over these past few years and he is truly a compassionate man who gives his time and talent to others in need. Omer volunteers constantly and runs himself ragged to ensure that he can help others in every way possible. He never says no to getting up at the crack of dawn to register marathon runners in a charity race and he never says no to help liven up the holidays by singing carols with children. Anyone who
has ever heard Omer bellow out “ God Bless America “ cannot forget it and sometimes he is even on-key. Omer also takes his job as commissioner very seriously and I know his number one priority is to ensure that the citizens of Grafton County get a fair shake. Omer keeps an ever watchful eye for ways to save the taxpayers money and keep our taxes in check. Please join me as I gratefully cast my ballot for Omer Ahern,Jr. for Grafton County Commissioner on November 6th. We need Omer to continue working for us. Glenda Toomey Wentworth
Requiring ID at polls keeps someone from voting multiple times To the editor, Requiring ID at the voting booth is NOT SUPPRESSION! It just ensures that a person votes only once. It prevents someone from claiming to be several different people during the day and, therefore, voting multiple
times. It, also, keeps “dead” people from voting. All states should require voter ID’s to be shown when someone goes to vote. Joan Stephenson Gilford
independence. N.H. as a state faces great economic, budgetary and societal challenges; potentially, the challenges will even be greater than what we faced in the current biennium. In facing these challenges, I believe Laconia and the balance of District 7 will be better served if Bill Grimm is the Republican State Senate nominee. In closing, state senator is one of the most (if not the most) important position representing us given N.H.’s legislative structure, and from what I know of Bill, he has the temperament and focus for the position, because ultimately, one needs that to be an effective advocate for one’s constituents in Concord. Henry Lipman Laconia
Republican nihilism could lead to end of America as we know it To the editor, We have an economic crisis because we have a weak Democratic leadership and Republican nihilism. In politics, nihilism is the doctrine that all existing social, economic and political institutions must be destroyed in order to make way for new institutions. This was actually tried in Russia between 1860 and 1917 with the use of terrorism and assassination. We know what government existed in Russia after 1917. America has always been saved in times of crisis by a strong constitutional government. Today there is an attack on the public agencies which make up this strong constitutional government. The Republicans say they are corrupted, bloated, inefficient and badly managed. These are the
agencies that deal with the problems of the aged, the poor, the young, the uneducated, and the helpless. What America was known for was compassion, which was present in both parties as they struggled for solutions, but now is missing from one. If this trend continues it will be more than the end of the two party system, it will be the end of America. We saw this before in the twentieth century Europe when governments sought to destroy civility rather than rescue it, when language made compromise impossible. We saw the inevitable result — war. General Patton once said, “If everyone is thinking alike, someone isn’t thinking.” Raymond Gerard Laconia
Democrats telling us only they are guilty of voter fraud? To the editor, I find it interesting that Democrats, such as Thomas Dawson of Laconia, are eager to claim that only Democrats are too ignorant to procure one of many
acceptable forms of voter ID. Republicans don’t have that “problem”! Actually, I believe Democrats are telling us that only Democrats are see next page

Whatever is going on, the potential harm to women is all too real To the editor, Without naming the phenomenon, The Laconia Daily Sun has published a variety of commentary on recent op-ed pages addressing the so-called “War on Women.” In the blogosphere, theories for the apparently growing curiosity abound. Self-identified victims say politicians and their financiers are stoking generalized misogyny (male hatred of females) to further careers and line pockets. Some think “the war” is the fruition of resentment grown in response to decades of affirmative action that left many white, workingclass men feeling mired in a world no longer viable. Others see counterrevolutionaries riding the backlash to last century’s gender upheaval. Many fear individual malcontents and zealots are coalescing to advance religious and ideological purity. Whatever is going on, the potential harm to women (and through them to American culture itself) appears all too real. The abortion debate no longer has shades of gray. It is simply angels against demons. Only a constitutional amendment to banish the scourge will satisfy one side. The other appears in open retreat seeking to salvage vestibules of exception in rape and incest. Already, 11 states outlaw abortion after 20 weeks gestation. In those states, women whose complications manifest later must continue the pregnancy regardless of risk. With abortion rights driven arrears, threats to women are expanding to include contraception. The Affordable Care Act (ACA or colloquially ObamaCare) ensures women access to birth control without copays. House Speaker John Boehner has vowed to overturn any rule requiring any employer to provide insurance coverage for contraception. Five senators, including N.H.’s Kelly Ayotte, endorsed Boehner’s pledge saying mandated birth-control coverage threatens religious freedom. In March, presidential aspirant Mitt Romney told a town-hall audience women who want free access to birth control “should vote for the other guy.” He also supported the “Blunt Amendment,” which would have allowed any employer to deny contraception coverage. Last summer, a Fox News pundit said, “How much more affordable can you make it? It’s like 50 bucks a month.” His cavalier commentary ignored considerable data. While $50 seems incidental to a television personality, data show 34-percent
of women voters have struggled to pay for birth control at some point in their lives. Fifty-five percent of the group most likely to have an unintended pregnancy — young women 18-34 — has had problems paying for birth control. Overall, more than half of U.S. pregnancies are unintended. Given that reality, one could assume antiabortionists are contraception’s ardent defenders. The push to repeal ACA has become a mantra. Without the act’s safeguards, insurance companies could again charge women 30-percent more than they charge men for the same services. With repeal of the Affordable Care Act, women would lose: — Free screening for cervical and breast cancer as well as screening and counseling for sexually transmitted diseases, the human immunodeficiency virus (i.e., AIDS) and domestic partner violence; — Prenatal care and postnatal breast-feeding support, supplies and counseling; and — Well woman visits. Candidate Romney proposes to defund Planned Parenthood. The organization operates about 800 health centers across America. It provides sexual and reproductive health care to roughly 3-million people and helps women avoid unintended pregnancies. Every year, it performs more than 750,000 breast exams, 770,000 Pap tests and 3.5-million tests for sexually transmitted disease and infection. Approximately 20-percent of American women have used Planned Parenthood services. Mr. Romney also proposes eliminating Title X, the federal government’s chief family-planning program for the poor. The program does not pay for abortion. Its mission is to prevent abortion and unintended pregnancy. It also conducts cancer screening and abstinence counseling for teenagers. This year, Texas refused federal Title X funds thereby diminishing prevention services to impoverished women statewide. In the House of Representatives, a Labor-HHS (Health and Human Services) subcommittee voted to eliminate the Title X program by zeroing out its funding in 2013. For most of us in the Lakes Region, Frank Guinta is our congressional representative. He is well into the fray. He voted to repeal federal funding for ACA and backed previous budgetary efforts to end the Title X program and deny federal funding to Planned Parenthood. Robert Moran Meredith
from preceding page guilty of voter fraud such as voting many times, or in the name of dead people, or maybe worse, illegals voting when not qualified. Apparently all illegals are Democrats. Obama got elected once by massive voter fraud, spearheaded by his Acorn organiza-
tion, and Democrats are trying to do that again. Insisting on honest and fair voting is NOT suppressing the vote! He and Democrats should hang their heads in shame for such open voter fraud! Jack Stephenson Gilford
Wide philosophical gulf between Bolster & Cormier, 2 Republicans who want to represent 3 townships By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
ALTON — One of a dwindling band of moderate Republicans in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, Peter Bolster of Alton finds his bid for re-election challenged by Jane Cormier, a newcomer also from Alton, who openly questions his Republican credentials. “He’s as liberal a Republican as you can be,” Cormier claimed, asking “why run as a Republican? It’s not right for the voters. We shouldn’t put ourselves out as something we’re not.” The two are vying for the GOP nomination in the newly drawn electoral district of Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton, which returns one House member. Bolster, a retired pastor who became a selectmen in Alton in 2007, was first elected to the House in 2008, where he serves on the Resources, Recreation and Development Committee. Expecting to be challenged for re-election, he initially he toyed with running for the state Senate in District 6 (Rochester, Farmington, New Durham, Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton). But, he chose to run for the House seat when Dick Green, a former mayor of Rochester who was director of Economic Development at the New Hampshire Department of Resources and served two terms in the state Senate, entered the senate race. A professional singer who lived and performed in Europe, Cormier came to Alton with her family 15 years ago. She operates “Just Love to Sing,” a non-profit corporation, which she said seeks to “educate, enlighten and entertain.” She traces her interest in politics and government to the Reagan Administration and, explaining that “I’m not needed as much at home,” decided to make her first bid for public office this year. Cormier has taken aim at Bolster’s voting record, stressing that he has earned low marks from conservative organizations and interest groups aligned with the Republican Party. The House Republican Alliance, which measures how closely lawmakers adhere to the GOP platform, rated Bolster at 56-percent, save for Alida Millham of Gilford, who is retiring from service this year, the lowest score among members of the Republican majority in the House. The Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire (RLCNH), which tacks to more libertarian winds and calls itself “the conscience of the Republican Party,” awarded him a score of 44, lower than all but eight House Republicans. Moreover, the Gun Owners of New Hampshire gave Bolster a grade of “D.” “I’m confused by Peter’s voting record,” Cormier said. Above all, she points to Bolster’s failure to support so-called “Right-to-Work” legislation, which she believes would provide a powerful spark to the economy by leading small businesses to relocate to New Hampshire from neighboring New England states.
She also notes that he refused to withhold public funding from Planned Parenthood. “These are really important Republican issues,” she said. Although the RLCNH has yet to endorse Cormier, Bolster said that he anticipates the organization, which he described as “associated with the Free State movement,” may sponsor a mass mailing targeting moderate Republicans like himself. At the same time, he remarked that some of his positions, including his support for the use of medical marijuana and gay marriage, are shared by libertarians. Likewise, Bolster explained that while he supported funding the state contract with Planned Parenthood, which underwrites various medical services, excluding abortion, for women, he also voted for bills to require parental notification for minors seeking to terminate a pregnancy as well as a 24-hour waiting period for any women seeking an abortion. Bolster has not shrunk from expression his differences with those to his political right. As a member of the Belknap County Delegation, he has consistently resisted efforts to shrink the county budget and withhold funds for planning a new county jail, which has split the 18 Republicans into two nearly evenly matched factions. He said that his more conservative colleagues in the delegation have cited his support for the budget recommended by the Belknap County Commission, which is chaired by Democrat Ed Philpot of Laconia, as an example of his support for excessive spending. While describing himself as a fiscal conservative, Bolster said that he favors seeking sources of funding other than new or higher taxes to support necessary public services. He said that in the course of campaigning he met a man and his wife, who is a double amputee confined to a wheelchair, who for the past 30 years have cared for two men, one 43 and 34, with severe developmental disabilities, including blindness and deafness. “They get some help from the state,” he said, “but, can you imagine what their life must be like?” Bolster suggested that regionalizing some municipal services and programs promised economies of scale and increases in efficiency while at the same time more can be done to leverage and harness the financial and human resources of the private sector to benefit communities. He cited the expansion of the senior center and the railroad park in Alton as examples of successful public-private partnerships. There are Republican primaries for both the House and the Senate on the ballot in Alton, Barnstead and Gilmanton, which may draw more voters to the polls than in other towns in the county without contested primaries in either party. On the other hand, together the three towns compromise see next page

ATTACK OF THE DECAY BACTERIA The amount of soda Americans consume is alarming. Teens today drink three times more soda than 20 years ago. We all know soda contains sugar, but did you know that acids are formed once the sugar combines with plaque (a sticky film of bacteria constantly forming on our teeth)? One study from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry tested different products and assigned numbers to them (pH) based on the amount of acid the product contained. The lower the number, the more acid is in the product. Pure water is “7” (neutral), battery acid is “1”. The acid formed in your mouth from popular cola drinks rates “2.5”! The stickiness of bacteria keeps the harmful acids against the teeth and these acids attack and dissolve tooth enamel. This process of “biocorrosion” results in a damaged area that we call a “cavity”. Soda is not the only culprit – fruit juice and sports drinks are almost as bad, along with foods that contain sugars and starches. The longer the food remains in the mouth (especially with breath mints, hard candy and cough drops), the more the teeth are subjected to acid attacks. Adults with receding gum lines are also at risk because acid can do more damage below the gum line (not visible to the eye) than above it. Good oral health means making wise decisions and limiting your intake of sweet drinks & sugary snack foods is one of them. George T. Felt, DDS, MAGD 9 Northview Drive 279-6959 www.meredithdental.com

BELMONT — While it won’t be the most bountiful year local apple growers have ever seen, the fruit to be picked will be some of the best quality at least one orchard has seen in a while. For Rob Richter of Smith Farm on Leavitt Road, the May 7 frost cost him about 60-percent of his crop. He said the warm spell in March and April “got his trees all excited” and then we got 26 degrees and “that’s not so exciting.” But, said Richter, the 40-percent of the apples that grew are of top quality. He said they’re big and they’re sweet. He said his smaller, younger trees did very well but some of the older trees behind the farm house have little to no fruit on them. “They blossomed but we got no fruit,” he said. The one thing that will fall victim to Mother Nature is the school groups who usually get a day to come to Smith Farm and pick apples. “For years we’ve done this but we won’t be able to this year,” he said explaining the crop isn’t big enough and many of the apples are too high for the younger children to reach. While MaIntosh are the apples New England is know for, Richter said he grows a variety including Courtland, delicious and Granny Smiths but this year’s frost was an “equal opportunity frost” and SOUTH AFRICA from page 2 ernment’s image. Government officials held a press conference to try to control the fallout. “The tragic incident at Marikana is not a reflection of the business environment in South Africa,” Minister of State in the presidency Collins Chabane told

GOP rivals in governor’s race both advocate cutting taxes on N.H. businesses
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s two main Republican gubernatorial candidates both propose cutting business taxes — the state’s largest revenue source — without saying how they would pay for the cuts. Kevin Smith’s proposed tax cuts could potentially cost the state more than $1 billion in lost revenue by 2020 — if his premise that lower tax rates will boost revenue isn’t realized. His main rival, Ovide Lamontagne, has a more modest tax cut proposal that could mean $120 million in lost revenue during the same time frame. Both also propose other tax changes that are more difficult to estimate, such as credits. Those could mean even more revenue losses. Neither candidate has outlined specific budget cuts they would seek to pay to offset the tax cuts. Both propose to look for efficiencies during the budget-writing process. Lamontagne called his plan “practical, reasonable and achievable” in a statement and said it included a provision that would require spending cuts if tax revenues fall. He did not specify what those cuts would be but pledged to take “a hard look” at the budget. “We will be able to realize significant savings through modernization, consolidation and privatization that can be passed on to fund these tax reforms and spur our economy,” Lamontagne said. He proposes reducing the 8.5 percent tax on business profits to 8 percent over two years. That could cost the state potentially $9 million in lost revenue the first year and $18 million each subsequent year, based on estimates the Department of Revenue prepared for a House bill that died last year. Smith proposes much deeper tax cuts. He would gradually reduce the tax on business profits from 8.5 percent to 5 percent by 2020. He would cut the business enterprise tax, which is a tax on wages, borrowing and dividends, from 0.75 percent to 0.25 percent over the same period. The proposal could cost the state $1.2 billion in lost revenue by 2020, based on rough calculations using 2012 BET receipts. If completely phased in, the state’s business tax receipts could be half what they are now. The calculations do not take into account possible offsetting revenue from an improved economy or the potential revenue gains from reducing the tax and with it the amount of tax credits that businesses are eligible for. Smith argued his plan would only cost the state $60 million in the first year with a smaller loss the second year. He said he could make state government more efficient to make up for the lost revenue. “My whole plan is designed to bring in more tax see next page

FATAL CRASH from page one describing as non life threatening injuries. Laconia Police confirmed that on Friday night at 9:30 p.m., Garneau was reported to have taken her parents’ Dodge Durango without their permission. The car was located later that night by a different police department and Garneau was charged with theft by unauthorized taking. Laconia Police also confirmed yesterday they were alerted on Saturday night that Pitts was in possession of a car he was not authorized to be driving and that he might be headed for Laconia. Police said Pitts is facing a number of charges including negligent homicide, felony disobeying a police officer resulting in personal injury, and breach of bail. He is being held on $200,000 cash-bail, which he refused, and is scheduled to appear in the 6th Circuit Court, Concord Division this morning. The Sun has also learned that Pitts was under “house arrest” at the time of the crash but had not been fitted yet with a ankle bracelet. N.H. State Police Lt. Mark Armaganian told the Concord Monitor he believed the car involved in the crash belongs to one of Pitts relatives and, for reasons he didn’t know, said there were circumstances

that led the Weare Police to issue a statewide search for the car after it was reported missing. Sources said a Tilton police officer in an unmarked vehicle spotted the car in Tilton shortly after hearing the alert and began to follow it. The officer called for backup from a marked police car and a Northfield police officer joined in following Pitts. The two officers continued to follow Pitts down the interstate and none of them exceeded 60 mph. “It wasn’t a high speed pursuit but more like an O.J. (Simpson) thing,” the source said. Pitts apparently turned onto the Exit 17 ramp and was unable to navigate it at 60 mph and crashed into a tree. Sources said Garneau was not wearing a seatbelt. The nature of the relationship between Pitts and Garneau is unknown. Attempts by The Sun to reach Garneau’s and Pitt’s relatives yesterday were unsuccessful. Northfield Police Chief Stephen Adams said he and the state police are reviewing the video tapes recorded from the Northfield Police cruiser and he has no comment at this time.

from preceding page revenue at lower tax rates,” Smith said. “The potential loss in revenue is assuming the economic base wouldn’t expand.” Smith said he would be willing to stop phasing in the tax cuts if they failed over time to increase state revenue through economic growth. “It’s nothing but campaign rhetoric to say you’re going to lower those things until you know what you’re going to cut,” Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jackie Cilley said of proposals to cut business taxes. Cilley said she agrees the state needs to cut the business profits tax, but she would wait to see what tax changes New Hampshire residents will support rather than make campaign promises like Lamontagne and Smith have done. She said businesses needs good roads and bridges and an educated workforce to grow. “They want to start the discussion with taxes. I want to start it with a vision for the state,” she said. Cilley’s chief Democratic rival, Maggie Hassan, also has stressed the need to support education to boost job growth. Hassan said business owners are telling her they need skilled workers. She proposes investing in New Hampshire’s colleges and asking them in return to freeze tuition and increase the number of admission slots for state residents. “I am focused on workforce development,” she said. MOVE-IN from page 3 Cassie said she liked the small campus and small class sizes at Plymouth. She’ll be studying elementary education. Her mother, Sue Hamel, said, “It’s exciting — we’re excited for her.” Plymouth State’s public information office reported that nearly 1,800 students moved in yesterday. The university has about 4,200 undergraduate students. Of those, 55 percent are in-state students. New Hampshire students pay $5,205 for a semester’s tuition, their classmates from across state lines pay $8,655 each semester. The most popular major programs are business, education and criminal justice. “This day is always a joyous one as we welcome new and returning students and their families,” said PSU President Sara Jayne Steen. “Parents are proud, and students are eager to start classes. The entire campus is energized.” ISAAC from page 2 created a terrible stench. “It’s hot, it stinks, but I’m trying to get all this mud and stuff out of my house,” she said. Melton was grateful for the president’s visit. “I think it’s awesome to have a president that cares and wants to come out and see what he can do,” Melton, 60, said. A few houses away, Ed Powell said Isaac was enough to make him question whether to stay. “I know Louisiana’s a gambling state, but we don’t want to gamble in this method because when you lose this way, you lose a lot.” Powell said even if Obama comes up with a plan or solution to the flooding problem in his area, time is not on the residents’ side. “Even if they narrow down what the problem is and begin to resolve the problem, it usually takes years. And between now and whenever, a lot of things can happen,” Powell said. More than 2,800 people were at shelters in Louisiana, down from around 4,000. State officials were uncertain how many people would eventually need longer-term temporary housing. Kevin Davis, head of the state’s emergency office, said housing would likely include hotels at first, then rental homes as close as possible to their damaged property. Progress was evident in many places, though lingering flooding remained a problem in low-lying areas. Crews in the town of Lafitte intentionally breached a levee Sunday night in an effort to help flooding there subside, Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts told The Times-Picayune. Much of Plaquemines Parish, a vulnerable finger of land that juts into the Gulf of Mexico, remained under as much as 5 feet of water.
Red Bull heir arrested in deadly Thai hit-and-run BANGKOK (AP) — A grandson of the creator of the Red Bull energy drink has been arrested for driving a Ferrari that struck a police officer and dragged his dead body down a Bangkok street in an early-morning hit-and-run, police said Monday. Police took Vorayuth Yoovidhya, 27, for questioning after tracing oil streaks for several blocks to his family’s gated estate in a wealthy neighborhood of the Thai capital. He was facing charges of causing death by reckless driving and escaping an arrest by police but was released on a 500,000 baht ($15,900) bail. Vorayuth admitted he drove the charcoal gray sports car but said the police officer’s motorcycle abruptly cut in front of his vehicle, said police Maj. Gen. Anuchai Lekbamroong, the lead investigator in the case. Bangkok’s top police official, Lt. Gen. Comronwit Toopgrajank, said he took charge of the investigation after a lower-ranking policeman initially tried to cover up the crime by turning in a bogus suspect. Comronwit himself led a team of officers to search the compound of late Red Bull founder Chaleo Yoovidhya, one of Thailand’s wealthiest men before he passed away this year, and confiscated a Ferrari
with a badly damaged front bumper and broken windshield. The victim, Sgt. Maj. Wichean Glanprasert, 47, was killed during a motorcycle patrol before dawn. Thai media reported that the car dragged the officer and his motorcycle for several dozen meters (feet) as it sped through the residential neighborhood. Comronwit said he suspended the police officer who attempted to subvert the investigation. “A policeman is dead. I can’t let this stand. If I let this case get away, I’d rather quit,” he told reporters. “I don’t care how powerful they are. If I can’t get the actual man in this case, I will resign.” Vorayuth did not speak to the media but the family lawyer said the family will be take responsibility for the damages. The Yoovidhya family was ranked the 4th richest in Thailand this year by Forbes magazine, with a net worth of $5.4 billion. Red Bull creator Chaleo Yoovidhya died in his 80s in March, leaving his heirs a wide range of businesses, including shares in the globally popular energy drink brand, hospitals and real estate. The family also co-owns the sole authorized importer of Ferrari cars in Thailand.
WYATT PARK from page one to the Parks and Recreation Commission last month, Heti Bright met with City Manager Scott Myers, who suggested residents propose an alternative. Baer said that Dunleavy provided Bright with the software to enable her to prepare a design, which she expected would be submitted to the Parks and Recreation Commission at its regularly scheduled meeting, or at a special meeting, later this month. Public discussion about the future of the park began nearly a year ago when residents called attention to conduct of the young men who frequented the basketball courts and asked what could be done to enhance conditions at the park. Some 75 residents attended a public forum in May, where a clear consensus emerged in favor of keeping the basketball courts in the park while making improvements and adding features that would serve people of all ages. Dunleavy presented four conceptual designs, which incorporated a walking path, playground, skating rink, picnic area and landscaping in different configurations, each distinguished by the location of the basketball courts. Two plans, one which eliminated the courts altogether and another which included half a court, were rejected outright. The other plans proposed leaving the courts in place and reducing the two courts to one and relocating it to the Garfield Street side of
the park, away from nearby residences. When residents met again in July virtually all agreed that the problems arising from the basketball courts had been all but eliminated by the increased presence and patrols of the police. Residents were surprised when Dunleavy proposed eliminating one of the two basketball courts, which would be located alongside Garfield Street near a swing set. Bright was among those who feared that with only one court there would be scant opportunity for younger children, boys and girls alike, to use or for the courts to be used for games other than basketball. In a letter to the Laconia Daily Sun, Baer stressed that although the basketball courts must be resealed and the fencing repaired, relocating them would add to the expense of improving the park. She noted that the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee has standing requests for investments totaling $900,000 in the parks, including $500,000 for the Weirs Community Park and $100,000 to demolish and rebuild the Opechee Park House. She said that $50,000 has been allotted to Wyatt Park and the Wyatt Park Association has a balance of $7,000, but was concerned that if the cost of the project escalated, it would not be undertaken in timely manner for want of sufficient funds. — Michael Kitch

Sloppy Red Sox lose Stuarts travel hundreds of scenic miles a 7th game in a row year on their bicycles and say you can too
SEATTLE (AP) — Shaky lately at the plate and on the mound, the Boston Red Sox had problems in the field Monday that extended their longest losing streak of the season. The Red Sox committed two key errors and the Seattle Mariners took advantage in a 4-1 win that handed Boston its seventh loss in a row. “I think they are tired,” Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine said. The Red Sox have dropped all seven games on their road trip and have been outscored 58-16. Clay Buchholz (11-5) went seven innings, giving up three earned runs and six hits while walking one and striking out eight. “Clay gave us the start we needed today. We scored first and I thought that was going to be it, we were going to snap out of it,” Boston catcher Ryan Lavarnway said. “But we can’t allow what happened in that inning to happen.” Seattle scored four times in the fourth, helped by the Red Sox. Buchholz got in trouble after Franklin Gutierrez beat out an infield single. He then walked Kyle Seager and, on back-to-back pitches, gave up RBI singles by John Jaso and Justin Smoak to right that put Seattle ahead 2-1. The Red Sox fell apart after that. Eric Thames lifted a shallow fly ball to center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury and Jaso tagged up, broke for home and then stopped. Ellsbury’s throw, however, bounced away from Lavarnway, and Jaso restarted and scored. “I wish they had given me that error,” Lavarnway said. “Jacoby is trying to get that guy out. He’s doing exactly what he should have and I played it into an in-between hop. I need to go out and smother that ball — absolutely need to keep it in front of me.” Miguel Olivo singled and Carlos Peguero hit what looked like a double-play grounder to shortstop Jose Iglesias. The ball slipped in Iglesias’ hand, missing the force at second, and he threw too late to first for an error that let Smoak score. Valentine said Iglesias “was just being too quick, lost the handle.” “We made the miscues that gave them two runs and that’s all she wrote,” he said. Buchholz became the first Boston starter in four games to reach the fourth inning. Jason Vargas (14-9) pitched seven solid innings. Tom Wilhelmsen worked the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 opportunities. The Mariners have won 10 of their last 12 games at Safeco Field.

SANDWICH — Ruth and Dick Stuart, 63 and 69 years of age, have covered several hundred miles on their bicycles this year. They pedaled across Michigan and from Burlington to Montreal. In July, they spent eight days bicycling 400 miles along the Erie Canal, a trip they say was as enjoyable as it was accessible, and proves to them that bicycling is a form of exercise and past-time that many more people could enjoy. Easy for a veteran cyclist to say, perhaps. However, the Stuarts, who were once Laconia residents and now live fulltime near Squam Lake in Sandwich, are relative Ruth and Dick Stuart pictured on the Erie Canal in New York State.

from preceding page coming small towns along the canal, which cater to trail traffic and tourism in general. The Stuarts aren’t the only ones who have discovered the gem of a trail. They were participating in an annual ride of the trail organized by Rails & Parks of New York, a non-profit organization. In return for a $600 fee, the organization provided breakfast and dinner, as well as snack and water breaks along the way, and arranged for camping sites for each of the seven nights. They even transported the riders’ camping gear from one location to the next, allowing them to ride unburdened.
The Stuarts shared the trail with about 500 other riders, ranging in age from seven to 87. Each of the riders covered about 50 to 60 miles per day, and for the Stuarts that took about four or five hours of scenic, shaded and safe pedaling. While the distance might seem intimidating to the inexperienced, they insisted that even novice cyclists are capable of such a ride, especially if they take their time. “I think anybody could do this,” said Ruth. “If that’s all you’re going to do, you could do it.” “If you could balance on a bike, you could do this ride,” added Dick, adding, “And have fun doing it.”

HOLDERNESS — It’s a warm August day and Laura Mammarelli and Jordan McDaniel are setting out figurines that show the stages of a monarch butterfly’s life. After this they will sort through numbered wooden apples, and found nature objects like galls, lichen, and fungus. Mammarelli is the Director and McDaniel the Associate Teacher at Blue Heron School at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center, New Hampshire’s first nature-based Montessori early learning center. They are preparing the classroom for the start of the new school year. The 2012-2013 school year will be the third for the Blue Heron School. The seed for the program first developed about seven years ago by Education Program Director Amy Yeakel, when the benefits of nature play and nature preschools became apparent. It seemed a natural fit for Squam Lakes Natural Science Center and after gaining approval
from the Board of Trustees through a market feasibility study and business plan, the program began. The feasibility study made it clear that the Science Center has a good reputation in its community. The number of positive responses about an early learning program was high and encouraging. The study also concluded that even with strong community interest in a nature-based preschool it needed to partner with an established education philosophy. This outcome directed the relationship with the Montessori approach. This is where Laura Mammarelli came in. With over 15 years of experience in Montessori education, Laura previously developed and ran a Montessori school in Plymouth. The Blue Heron School wouldn’t be where it is today without her and Jordan’s dedication to the program. Blue Heron School has since become a cohesive part of the overall programming at the Science Center and is unique in the area. The program

focuses on all aspects of development including physical, spiritual, emotional, and intellectual. The Montessori philosophy centers on the individual development of each child. Areas in the classroom that support self-care and care for the environment include sensorial, math, language, geography, art, science, and nature. Being outdoors in all types of weather, using both structured and unstructured activities, helps students learn about themselves and the world around them. The program utilizes much of what the Science Center has to offer, including activities with Naturalists and interaction with live animals. Blending environmental education with the Montessori approach creates a rich program for students. Blue Heron School is designed as a three-year program; students start at age three and have two years of preschool and one year of kindergarten. Each year builds on the previous year as younger students learn by modeling older students and older students learn by teaching and assisting younger students. “It’s incredibly valuable for the Blue Heron program to be on site at the Science Center for the collaboration and cross fertilization,” said Laura Mammarelli, Director of Blue Heron School. “Nature isn’t scheduled - it’s where we are every day. The variety in the setting here helps students achieve an emotional connection with nature.” Blue Heron School is for ages three to six and runs from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday, from September through June.

New Horizons Band to play at Multicultural Festival on Saturday LACONIA — The Multicultural Festival in Laconia on Saturday, September 8, will feature a veritable smorgasbord of sights, sounds, tastes, and smells at the annual celebration of diversity. One of the sounds going to be featured that day, from 11:30 a.m. to noon is a concert by the New Horizons Band of the Lakes Region. The band, founded five years ago by Mary Divers of Laconia, will be playing music from this and other countries, in keeping with the theme for the day. Band members, who perform throughout the year, are from local towns, and
are all ages. New Horizons Bands were originally formed to provide older musicians the opportunity to revive their talents, or enjoy learning new ones, with the idea that “It is never too late to get on the band wagon”. The band welcomes new members, musicians presently playing instruments, and the fall semester begins in September. For further information call Director Mary Divers at 524-8570 or Karen Simpson at the Music Clinic at 528-6672. The band practices at the Music Clinic in Belmont on Tuesday evenings, and Saturday afternoons.
Aoife O’Donovan Band at PSU on Sept. 14
PLYMOUTH — The Aoife O’Donovan Band will open the 201213 Silver Series at Plymouth State University with a concert in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center Friday, September 14 at 8 p.m. Aoife (EEF-ah) O’Donovan grew up in a musical family, immersed in folk music. She went on to study contemporary improvisation at the New England Conservatory School of Music and had her first professional engagement singing lead for the folk group The Wayfaring Strangers. She has toured 10 countries, performed with the Boston Pops and the Utah Symphony Orchestra, and has appeared on innumerable radio and television programs. For the past decade, O’Donovan has been fronting the alt-bluegrass/string band Crooked Still, which she formed when she was 18. Most recently she appeared as guest vocalist on the compact disc and PBS special Goat Rodeo Sessions with Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, Stuart Duncan and Chris Thile. Thile commented in an interview that
O’Donovan is “one of my favorite people to sing with in the whole world. She has such a free and easy delivery.” O’Donovan maintains a wide variety of side projects and collaborations, working with Ollabelle, Jerry Douglas, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins. This summer she performed with Lyle Lovett and at all the major music festivals. “... her naturalistic phrasing and effortless control belie the complex structural ideas swirling around her. In an alluring, soft-spoken husk, she sings with complete emotional credibility, whether navigating dense, jazzy slides or haunted old-timey trills,” according to The Boston Globe. As a songwriter, O’Donovan’s natural talent recently came to the attention of Alison Krauss who recorded “Lay My Burden Down” and included it on her Grammy Award-wining album Paper Airplane. Tickets for the concert are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors and $15 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

by Chad Carpenter
By Holiday Mathis your circle. New blood will invigorate your social and professional scenes. It may be very difficult for you to approach someone, but once that hurdle is overcome, the rest happens rather naturally. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). People will seek your approval. At first that may feel good to you. It’s nice to know you are respected. But after a while, you may see the dynamic as draining. You’ll be attracted to those who are emotionally self-reliant. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). One way to avoid the heartbreak hotel is to seek only the company of those who are capable of recognizing your worth and reciprocating your feelings. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll exude warmth and humor. These qualities alone are not enough to secure your position with a certain someone. But if you’re also sincere, engaging and comfortable to be around, then you’ve got it made in the shade. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are accomplishments you would like to achieve because you believe they will make you happier. They may not, but that doesn’t diminish the importance of going for it. Do it just to prove to yourself that you can. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4). All you’ve overcome in your life has brought you to the stronger, more powerful identity you project this year. Someone will endorse you with enthusiasm this month, helping you to move up professionally. October brings sweet promises, and November fulfills them. Family adventures come in December. Gemini and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 40, 2, 41 and 1.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be a bit of a tease, realizing the great fun that can come from a playful approach to life. The equally lighthearted will find you irresistible, as will a certain someone with a heavy heart. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The differences between people are sometimes extreme. But you recognize that no value system is universally right. Your open mind will take you where others aren’t invited. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are unlikely to give your trust or your money to an unproven entity. What people say is of little significance unless it is backed up by what they do. Time will tell. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have better things to think about than how you are being perceived by others. And yet there is something you want that will be easier to obtain by giving some thought to your public image. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are clear in your purpose, but you do not yet have the mechanism in place to be loud about it, too. You need some version of a microphone. Today this will come in the form of ad space or excellent word of mouth from friends. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re in the mood for change again. So instead of wishing you were a person who ate vegan or played tennis, you will make moves to actually be that person. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll instruct and advise. People will want to know how you got so smart. Give up some of your sources -- but not all of them. Everyone has to do his or her own work in order to bring something new to the table. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Widen

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Sept. 4, the 248th day of 2012. There are 118 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 4, 1962, The Beatles, with their new drummer, Ringo Starr, recorded “Love Me Do” at EMI Studios in London. (The more familiar version with substitute drummer Andy White and Starr playing the tambourine was recorded a week later.) On this date: In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers under the leadership of Governor Felipe de Neve. In 1862, during the Civil War, Confederate forces led by Gen. Robert E. Lee began invading Maryland. In 1886, a group of Apache Indians led by Geronimo (also known as Goyathlay, “One Who Yawns”) surrendered to Gen. Nelson Miles at Skeleton Canyon in Arizona. In 1893, English author Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a “picture letter” to Noel Moore, the son of Potter’s former governess. In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital. In 1951, President Harry S. Truman addressed the nation from the Japanese peace treaty conference in San Francisco in the first live, coast-tocoast television broadcast. In 1957, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School in Little Rock. Ford Motor Co. began selling its ill-fated Edsel. In 1969, the Food and Drug Administration issued a report calling birth control pills “safe,” despite a slight risk of fatal blood-clotting disorders linked to the pills. In 1971, an Alaska Airlines jet crashed near Juneau, killing all 111 people on board. In 1972, U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz won a seventh gold medal at the Munich Olympics, in the 400-meter medley relay. In 1987, a Soviet court convicted West German pilot Mathias Rust of charges stemming from his daring flight to Moscow’s Red Square, and sentenced him to four years in a labor camp. (Rust was released in Aug. 1988.) One year ago: Jerry Lewis was conspicuously absent from the Muscular Dystrophy Association’s 46th annual Labor Day weekend telethon, having hosted the previous 45 broadcasts. Today’s Birthdays: Actress Mitzi Gaynor is 81. Actor Kenneth Kimmins is 71. Singer Merald “Bubba” Knight is 70. World Golf Hall of Famer Raymond Floyd is 70. Actress Jennifer Salt is 68. World Golf Hall of Famer Tom Watson is 63. Rhythm-and-blues musician Ronald LaPread is 62. Actress Judith Ivey is 61. Rock musician Martin Chambers is 61. Actress Khandi Alexander is 55. Actor-comedian Damon Wayans is 52. Rock musician Kim Thayil is 52. Actor Richard Speight Jr. is 43. Actor Noah Taylor is 43. Actress Ione Skye is 42. Actor Wes Bentley is 34. Actor Max Greenfield is 33. Singer Dan Miller is 32. Singer Beyonce Knowles is 31. Country singer-musician Tom Gossin (Gloriana) is 31. Actor Carter Jenkins is 21. Actor Trevor Gagnon is 17.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 4, 2012— Page 21
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: My husband and I are trying to raise our three children in a traditional, conservative environment, but my in-laws undermine our values. We recently went on a cruise with them, along with my husband’s brother and niece and her live-in boyfriend. At one point, my oldest daughter didn’t feel well, so I took her back to the cabin for a couple of hours. When we found the rest of the family, they were having a drinkfest right in front of our 14-year-old daughter and 12-year-old son. Not only that, but they were buying alcohol for the niece and her boyfriend, both of whom are under 21. From the looks of the empties on the table, this had been going on for the entire two hours. Most of them were drunk. Mind you, my husband was taking part, as well, which infuriated me. But I was even angrier with my mother-in-law, because I feel that women should be protectors of their children and grandchildren, instead of enablers. My mother-in-law even made a point to tell our daughters that the niece had been living with her boyfriend for more than a year, which seemed to put her stamp of approval on the arrangement. My kids didn’t know this, nor did they need to. They don’t live near their cousin. My mother-in-law is well aware of the values we teach, but if I say anything, she says I’m judging her and being disrespectful. We spent very little time with the family for the rest of the trip because they wanted to party and we wanted a more wholesome environment. How do we handle this type of situation when it comes up again? -- Kids First Dear Kids: Please understand that you cannot control what other people do, only how you respond. You also cannot control every environment, so use these situations as learning experiences. Talk to your kids calmly about what’s going on and how you feel about it. Don’t vilify your in-laws, but be pre-
pared for their continued inappropriate behavior. Your kids undoubtedly will encounter other such situations when you are not around, and the hope is that they will remember the good judgment and values you have taught them. And please stop blaming your mother-in-law. Your husband should have been the protector of his own children. Dear Annie: My wife’s uncle had a laryngectomy a few years ago. He now breathes through the stoma in his throat and also discharges phlegm through it. He doesn’t cover the opening with mesh. I hate to sound uncaring, but he constantly coughs into a tissue that he then lays on our countertops, dining room table or wherever else. This is not only unsanitary, but gross. When he leaves, we have to use antibacterial wipes on everything he touched. If we were to say anything to him about this, he would be upset and probably not speak to us again. We are running out of excuses to avoid his visits and hope he reads your column and makes the connection. -- Germ Concerned Dear Germ: Someone who uses a tissue to expel anything should not leave it around, especially on a surface where food is served or where others have to dispose of it. This is simple courtesy. The next time your uncle visits, discreetly place a small wastebasket near him “for his convenience.” Dear Annie: This is in response to “Disappointed in Ohio,” whose girls’ group was resentful when one of the women began to bring along her new husband. I once belonged to such a group of retired women, which we named the “Silver Belles.” The time came when the husbands also retired, and sometimes, one of us would ask to bring our husband along. Instead of resenting it, we welcomed them and began to call our group the “Silver Belles and Beaus.” -- Chatsworth, Calif.

League of Women Voters explains how new ID bill will not affect Sept. 11 primary CONCORD — The League of Women Voters of New Hampshire has produced two one-page fliers explaining what voters will need to know to vote in 2012. The fliers are available on the LWVNH website: www.lwvnh.org/Elections Organizations and individuals are invited to copy them for voter education activities. “We’re concerned that people will believe that they can’t vote if they don’t have a photo ID. That is not the case, even with the new law. Every New Hampshire citizen, 18 or over, has the right to vote and will be able to vote in the September 11 State
Primary and the November 6 General and Presidential Election,” said Liz, Tentarelli, co-president of the New Hampshire League. “No one has to show a photo ID to get a ballot in September. The Ballot Clerks will ask for one but it’s not required. In November, people will be asked to show a photo ID but many IDs will be acceptable and anyone can sign an affidavit if they don’t have a photo ID. The bottom line is that every New Hampshire citizen over 18 can vote this fall,” Tentarelli said. “The only real change voters will see in the voter registration law is additional wording we believe is
targeted at students and meant to scare them away from voting. We will be working closely with other organizations and individuals over the next few months to ensure that every eligible citizen - college students included - is able to vote,” Tentarelli said. The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy. Any person 18 or older, male or female, may become a League member.
BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — School day wake-up calls recorded by celebrities. Weekend makeup classes. Contests with laptop computers, private concerts and cars as prizes. Educators across the nation are using creative strategies as another school year gets under way to convince students and parents that regular attendance matters — and not just for grades and achievement. New research suggests missing as little as two weeks of school can put young children behind their peers, burden overworked teachers, cost districts state dollars and undermine mandates to raise standardized test scores. So many public school districts have launched campaigns to reduce all absences, not just those serious enough to warrant a home visit from a truant officer.
“Students who are getting a ‘B’ and are OK with a ‘B,’ they think it’s in their rights to skip school now and then,” said Berkeley High School Attendance Dean Daniel Roose, who offered a movie night to the grade-level boasting the best attendance last semester. “I’ve tried to challenge those kids and their families to change the mindset that you aren’t impacting anyone but yourself when you skip.” The rewards are designed to supplement courts, mentors and other interventions for addressing serious truancy. They direct attention to what education experts call “chronic absenteeism,” which applies to students who miss 10 percent of their classes for any reason and may even have parental permission to be out of school. To counter slumping attendance that tends to worsen as adolescents get older, about 200 middle
and high schools in 17 states will be competing this fall in a challenge organized by Get Schooled, a New York-based nonprofit that uses computer games, weekly wake-up recordings from popular singers and actors, and social media messages to get students to show up in the name of school spirit. The winner of last year’s seven-week competition, a Seattle middle school, received a private concert from R&B performer Ne-Yo, who also served as principal for a day to recognize the 3.7 percent jump in the school’s average daily attendance rate of 89 percent. “The issue of attendance, if you look at the evidence, there are many things that drive it, but one of those is engagement and feeling part of a school community,” said Get Schooled Executive Director Marie Groark. “A friendly competition motivates people. It motivates students, all of us.”
New school attendance matters push praised by students and educators
