Heritage Commission drawing line in sand at Hathaway House

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “I think it’s planned demolition by neglect,” said Charlie St. Clair, speaking to the City Council last night about the failure of Cafua Management Company, LLC to maintain the Hathaway House next door to its Dunkin’ Donuts store on upper Union Avenue.

In 2008, when construction of the Dunkin’ Donuts was approved, Gregg Nolan of Cafua assured the Planning Board that the Hathaway House would be painted, in a color of the city’s choosing, and fitted with fire alarm and suppression systems as required by the Fire Department. He said that Cafua Management

Company had no immediate plans for the building other than to preserve it. City Councilor Armand Bolduc (Ward 6), at the time, lauded Nolan for his decision to preserve the Hathaway House, telling the board that “working with these people was wonderful. I can’t say enough about them.”

Again last night Bolduc said

that after speaking with Nolan he believed the company would repair and paint the building when a maintenance crew was available.

“I don’t think he has ever been serious about saving the Hathaway House,” insisted St. Clair, whose mother owned the building where she operated a see HERITAGE page 13

LACONIA — A local man and his pet pooch had a close encounter of a different kind one recent Friday night when they went for a walk and saw an alligator resting on an Elm Street sidewalk.

The man, who asked not to be identified, said his dog started acting a little skittish so he knew the dog heard or smelled something. He saw the alligator seconds later. see GATOR page 12

Laconia firefighters mark 100th anniversary of death of first member of their department to fall in the line of duty

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Members of the Laconia Fire Department gathered at old Meredith Bridge Cemetery Monday morning to mark the 100th anniversary of the death of Firefighter John Laurence Sanborn, the first line of duty death of a Laconia firefighter.

Sanborn, who was only 20 years old,

died on August 26, 1913, while responding to a tenement fire on Jackson Street when he was thrown from Ladder 1. He was run over by the rear wheels, which were made of wood with a steel belt on the outer section.

Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson said that the box fire was reported at 9 a.m. and that the horses which pulled Ladder 1 had to be harnessed and hitched up before

firefighters could respond and that once they left the station and turned onto Water Street, the rear wheels went over an obstacle which resulted in Sanborn and another firefighter being thrown into the street.

Sanborn was carried by firefighters from the street to the second floor of the Water Street Station, where he succumbed to his injuries. see FIREFIGHTER page 13

Nation’s Medal of Honor awarded to Afghan war vet

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama bestowed the nation’s highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, on Army Staff Sgt. Ty Carter on Monday, saluting the veteran of the war in Afghanistan as “the essence of true heroism,” one still engaged in a battle against the lingering emotional fallout of war.

Carter risked his life to save an injured soldier, resupply ammunition to his comrades and render first aid during intense fighting in a remote mountain outpost four years ago.

“As these soldiers and families will tell you, they’re a family forged in battle, and loss, and love,” Obama said as Carter stood at his side and members of his unit watched in the White House East Room.

Then as an Army specialist, Carter sprinted from his barracks into a ferocious firefight, a day-long battle on Oct. 3, 2009, that killed eight of his fellow soldiers as they tried to defend their outpost — at the bottom of a valley and surrounded by high mountains — from the onslaught of a much see MEDAL page 11

U.S. says very little doubt Syria used chemical weapons DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — U.N. experts collected samples and testimony from Syrian doctors and victims of an alleged chemical weapons attack Monday following a treacherous journey through government and rebel-held territory, where their convoy was hit by snipers.

As U.S. officials said there was very little doubt that Syria used chemical weapons and Western powers stepped up calls for swift military action, President Bashar Assad’s government vowed to defend itself against any international attack, warning that such an intervention would ignite turmoil across the region.

It also would bring the U.S. closer to a conflict that has killed more than 100,000 people since Assad cracked down on Arab Spring-inspired protesters in March 2011.

Syria’s civil war has been increasingly defined by sectarian killings between the Sunni-led rebellion and Assad’s regime, dominated by Alawites, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.

It would essentially pit the U.S. and regional allies Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Qatar in a proxy war against Iran, which is providing weapons to the Syrian government’s counterinsurgency, along with Hezbollah, the militant Lebanese group that also has aided Assad’s forces militarily.

Deputy Foreign Minister Faysal Mikdad told The Associated Press in an interview in Damascus that such an attack would trigger “chaos in the entire world.”

“If individual countries want to pursue aggressive and adventurous policies, the natural answer ... would be that Syria,

which has been fighting against terrorism for almost three years, will also defend itself against any international attack,” he added.

Assad told a Russian newspaper that any military campaign against his country was destined to fail.

It’s also unclear what U.S. action would mean for relations with Russia, which warned Monday against the use of force not sanctioned by the U.N. Security Council, calling it “a crude violation of international law.”

Support for some sort of international military response was likely to grow if it is confirmed that Assad’s regime was responsible for the Aug. 21 attack in the Damascus suburbs that activists say killed see SYRIA page 3

Huge wildfire closing in of San Francisco Bay area’s water source

TUOLUMNE CITY, Calif. (AP) — A raging wildfire in Yosemite National Park rained ash on the reservoir that is the chief source of San Francisco’s famously pure drinking water, and utility officials Monday scrambled to send more water toward the metropolitan area before it becomes tainted.

Nearly 3,700 firefighters battled the approximately 230-square-mile blaze, the biggest wildfire on record in California’s Sierra Nevada. They reported modest progress, saying the fire was 15 percent contained.

At the same time, utility officials gave assurances that they have a six-month supply of water in reservoirs near the Bay area.

So far the ash that has been raining onto the Hetch Hetchy has not sunk as far as the intake valves, which are about halfway down the 300-foot O’Shaughnessy Dam. Utility officials said that the ash is non-toxic but that the city will begin filtering water for customers if problems are see WILDFIRE page 8

$2M bail set for Spokane teen charged with beating WWII vet to death SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — A 16-year-old Spokane boy was ordered held on $2 million bail Monday and will be tried as an adult in connection with last week’s beating death of an 88-year-old World War II veteran. A second teen was arrested in the case early Monday morning.

Demetrius L. Glenn is charged with first-degree murder and first-degree robbery in Spokane County District Court, and made an initial court appearance Monday afternoon. The charges carry a potential life sentence.

District Judge Richard Leland, presiding over a packed courtroom, said the brutality of the attack and vulnerability of the victim make the high bail proper.

Glenn had turned himself in Thursday night, the same day Army veteran Delbert Belton died of his injuries.

The slightly built youth gave yes and no answers to questions from the judge, but otherwise said nothing.

Defense attorney Chris Phelps noted after the hearing that the case has gone viral on the Internet, with many people expressing strong opinions.

“The evidence doesn’t indicate what happened,” Phelps said, adding that eyewitnesses only reported “two kids running away.”

A second 16-year-old boy, Kenan Adams-Kinard, was arrested without incident early Monday on a warrant for first-degree murder and first-degree robbery. He has a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday and will also be tried as an adult.

“The two individuals we believe are responsible for the robbery and murder of Mr. Belton are in custody,” Police Chief Frank Straub said at a news conference.

The Associated Press does not generally identify minors accused of a crime but is naming the teens because of the severity of the charges.

Belton, who was wounded in the Battle of Okinawa, was beaten in his vehicle as he waited for a friend in the parking lot of an Eagles Lodge in north Spokane on Wednesday, and his wallet was taken.

Officers found Belton with serious head injuries and he died in the hospital Thursday.

Straub said it appeared that Belton fought back against his attackers, which may have increased the severity of his beating.

“Our information indicates the individual fought back and that may have made this a worse situation,” Straub said.

Nevertheless, “I encourage people to fight back” when attacked, Straub said.

Police received a tip early Monday about AdamsKinard’s location, Straub said. Three other juveniles in the house with the suspect Monday were arrested for

investigation of rendering criminal assistance, a felony.

Investigators believe the boys targeted Belton randomly. “There is no gang activity associated with this incident,” Straub said.

Both suspects have criminal records for assault, he said.

Straub said the case involved twin tragedies.

“It bothers me that a distinguished World War II veteran lost his life,” Straub said. But the lives of the young suspects are also likely ruined, he said.

Belton was born and raised in Spokane. He survived being shot in the leg in 1945 at Okinawa, one of the fiercest battles of the war, and went on to spend 33 years working for Kaiser Aluminum before retiring in 1982.

Belton was called Shorty by his friends because he was little more than 5 feet tall, his niece Pam Hansen said.

She believes he was targeted because of his age and size.

from preceding page hundreds of people. The group Doctors Without Borders put the death toll at 355.

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said chemical weapons were used in Syria and he accused Assad’s regime of destroying evidence. He said the U.S. has additional information about the attack and will make it public in the days ahead.

“The indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, the killing of women and children and innocent bystanders by chemical weapons is a moral obscenity. By

any standard, it is inexcusable and — despite the excuses and equivocations that some have manufactured — it is undeniable,” said Kerry, the highestranking U.S. official to confirm the attack.

“This international norm cannot be violated without consequences,” he said.

Assad has denied launching a chemical attack, blaming the rebels instead, and has authorized a U.N. team of experts currently in Syria to investigate, although the U.S. said it was a step that came “too late to be credible.”

Winnisquam middle students will start school, one way or another, on Sept. 5; mold abatement to cost up to $120K

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

TILTON — Officials told a standing-room only crowd of Winnisquam Regional Middle School parents last night that one way or another, students will return to school on September 5 — more than a week after school was scheduled to begin. Students in the district’s other four other schools begin classes today.

With the sixth grade wing closed for mold remediation, Superintendent Tammy Davis said the best-case scenario is that two of the three wings in the school should pass air quality tests by then and some children will be relocated to available classrooms in those wings.

Should only the eighth grade wing be available, Davis said some students will be taught in the common areas that passed the air quality tests as well as Southwick Elementary School in Northfield.

Davis estimated the re-mediation could cost the district up to $120,000. She said there is $80,000 in an emergency fund and the business administrator Cheryl Somma is culling the operating budget for additional money. Somma said the mold is not covered by insurance and to date, the board has approved $100,100.

On August 17, Dennis Francoeur of RPF Associates, Inc. — a mold remediation and air-quality testing company hired by the district — said testers found mold in the sixth- and seventh-grade wings while performing routine tests. He said the mold in the sixth-grade wing was visible.

He also said that “not all mold is created equal” and the type of mold as well as elevated spore counts were what triggered Davis to delay the opening of the building.

Last week, officials delayed the opening of the middle school until RPF determined the extent of the mold.

Francoeur said the seventh-grade wing should be cleaned and ready by September 5, however the sixth-grade wing has considerably more mold and will need more work. Davis said the area will be closed off while work is ongoing.

She said only one company has submitted a bid for the re-mediation and she expect additional bids to come to Tuesday.

In what seemed like science class for parents, Francoeur explained the types of mold discovered in

the school, the frequency of occurrence for each type of mold discovered, and how mold grows. He attributed the problems in the most affected part of the Middle School to a very rainy and humid summer compounded by the fact that the two wings were built atop a what one parent described as “a swamp.”

A routine test done at the school in December of 2011 revealed low spore counts, which is how a building is measured for air quality.

He said mold is naturally occurring and is fed by water and organic material, including the drywall used to construct the classrooms. He recommended the area along the walls that border the cement floor be reconstructed using a vinyl non-organic wall material, especially in the sixth-grade wing where the floor and carpet appear to be the wettest. He also said shutting down the air circulating system during the summer months could have contributed to mold growth.

Francoeur also said mold is ubiquitous and there are over 30 types of mold that grow in New Hampshire.

He said mold spores die in cold, dry air or when the relative humidity drops.

Remediation is done by using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, cleaning, and negative ion generators.

Parents expressed a multitude of concerns last night, including a few who asked about alternative accommodations for their special education children and for children more prone to allergies than others to which Davis told them their cases will be handled individually and privately.

Others were concerned about the shortened school year.

Davis said she has been working with the State Department of Education about waiving a few of the 180 mandated school day but told parents that the middle school schedule is being reworked to compensate for at least three of them.

Moving forward, officials said the School Board is reviewing the district’s long-range capital improvement plan.

According to Davis, the sixth- and seventh-grade wings of the middle school were built in the early 1980s. The eighth-grade wing was built as an addition in 2000.

Winnisquam Middle School is adjacent to the district’s regional high school, located just off Rte. 3 in west Tilton. The high school was the site of last night’s meeting.

Prosecutor says she’s pursuing other ‘investigative avenues’ in quest for resolution to accident that killed teen

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Confirming that she did not present a case to the Belknap County Grand Jury when it convened last week, County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen said she is still investigating the circumstances that caused the driver of the Jeep Cherokee, Amy LaFond, 52, of Laconia, to strike two middle school students on the Messer Street Bridge in April, claiming the life of Lily Johnson and severely injuring Alyssa Miner.

Gulbrandsen said that she is reviewing the reports of investigations conducted by the Police Department and by the Belknap County Accident Reconstruction Team as well as “pursuing other investigative avenues,” which she declined to specify.

“It remains an ongoing investigation,” Gulbrandsen said, declining further comment.

Johnson and Miner were hit while on the sidewalk on the Messer Street

Bridge, near the intersection of Opechee Street and Messer Street at approximately 2:30 p.m. on April 19. According to police, Lafond was traveling northbound on Messer Street toward its intersection with Opechee Street at the foot of the Messer Street Bridge, where a pedestrian crosswalk crosses Messer Street. A car going in the same direction had stopped at the crosswalk, apparently to enable a number of middle school students standing at the corner to cross the street.

About the same time, the two girls had walked down Opechee Street to the intersection, turned the corner, to their left, on to the sidewalk and were walking along the sidewalk on the west side of the Messer Street Bridge.

For reasons that remain to be determined, Lafond skirted the stopped car, crossed into the southbound lane of Messer Street and mounted the raised sidewalk via a ramp, then hit the two girls from behind.

Grand Jury indicts Center Harbor physician on prescription abuse charges

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Center Harbor physician who surrendered his medical license in July has been indicted by a Belknap County grand jury on two counts of writing a fraudulent prescription and for one count of identify fraud.

Belknap County Attorney Melissa Guldbrandsen said yesterday that Dr. Hasan A. Duymazler, 46, whose last known address was 24 Dew Point Lane also faced three additional criminal charges in Carroll County.

Duymazler is accused of writing a prescription for “Matthew Stewart” for oxycodone between January 21 and May 13 and filling it himself at the pharmacy at Hannaford’s Supermarket in Gilford. He is also accused of doing the same thing between October 8, 2012 and December 30, 2012.

He also allegedly posed as another person for the purpose of filling one of the prescriptions on June 7, 2013.

Guldbrandsen said the indictments were the result of a N.H. State Police narcotics investigation.

Duymazlar was first criminally charged for obtaining a prescription by fraud on July 17 and trying to fill it in North Conway. On July 18 and after an emergency meeting of the N.H. Board of Medicine, Duymazlar surrendered his license to practice medicine.

At the time of his suspension Duymazlar had a practice in Wolfeboro.

According to a media release issued by the board of medicine on July 19, two separate pharmacists in two separate pharmacies in North Conway became suspicious when he tried to fill a prescription for oxycodone (a narcotic pain killer) at one and later tried to fill it at another.

When he was asked for identification by the first pharmacist, he couldn’t produce any and pharmacist refused to fill the prescription.

At some point in June the two pharmacists compared notes, recognized Duymazlar from his photograph on a N.H. hospital’s Website, and contacted the state.

We all need moderate Republicans Moderate Republicans are, were, good things. I use the past tense “were” because as they became rarities, the centrists’ chief function was preserving majorities in Congress for their radicalized party.

New England used to send lots of moderate Republicans to Washington. No more, and it’s not because there aren’t attractive Republican candidates. It’s because the ones representing liberal-to-moderate regions became scapegoats at which party extremists directed their primal screams.

There arose the stupid “RINO (Republican in name only) Hunters Club,” courtesy of the National Federation of Republican Assemblies.

In 2005, Rush Limbaugh pounded away at Republican “traitors” in the Senate, adding that “they all happen to be from the Northeast, and they all happen to be moderates. They all happen to be liberals.”

And now they all happen to be gone, except for a few exceptions. Thus, the Senate has a Democratic majority.

Defenders of the older, more marketable Republican brand are trying to curb the party’s more feverish elements. In 2012, the enraged ones purged Sen. Richard Lugar of Indiana, a revered statesman virtually assured of winning the general election. Instead, they chose a nominee expounding bizarrely on rape, and he lost to Democrat Joe Donnelly. And in 2010, similarly flawed Republican candidates saved the hides of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada and Sen. Michael Bennet in Colorado.

Wily Democrats have fueled the self-destruction by piping money into the campaigns of the most unelectable Republicans, also known as Tea Party favorites. During the primary, American Bridge and other Democratic groups ran ads noting that Lugar had agreed to raise the debt ceiling, the only responsible stance but one right-wingers reviled.

Playing the hard-liners for fools is not a monopoly of the Democratic Party. In the final weeks of the close 2000 presidential election, Republican groups famously funneled money to third-party candidate Ralph Nader, whom some prominent and very naive left-wingers backed as preferable to the centrist Al Gore. The result was President

George W. Bush.

As interest in the 2016 presidential race ignites, Republican reformers are turning uneasily to the electoral season’s kickoff in Iowa: the Ames straw poll and the caucuses. Iowa is a swing state with registered voters divided equally among Democrats, Republicans and independents. But participants in the early Republican contests are heavy with hotheads eager to magnify their power.

The Ames straw poll is grossly undemocratic. Its participants last time around judged Rep. Michele Bachmann to be best-qualified to become president. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney stayed away from the fringe-dominated poll and became the party’s nominee.

Former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum is back touring Iowa, as are the right-wing populists Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky. Some speculate that more viable Republican contenders, such as New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, will choose to skip the pointless straw poll.

As Republican strategist Mike Murphy colorfully put it, the heavyweights may stay away and “let Santorum, Cruz and Bozo the Clown all fight it out.”

Crashing respect for the straw poll threatens the caucuses that follow, themselves not a model of democratic procedure. Thus, some Iowa Republicans, led by Gov. Terry Branstad, want to get rid of it. This would deprive a small number of radicals the opportunity to commandeer a high-profile contest, which is the idea.

In a recent conversation, a rich benefactor of the Democratic Party stopped his usual attack on Republicans to express worry about the survival of their party. Moderates of all political stripes want a choice.

Without responsible Republicans, the Democrats can get sloppy, and America’s challenges go unmet.

A return of the Republican moderate would be good all around.

LETTERS Most Americans go to work every day in spite of their ailments To The Daily Sun, The federal government receives approximately 250,000 new applicants for disability insurance each month. Although more and more services are becoming available to aid people with disabilities, the number of registered disabled people is climbing at an alarming rate (doubling every 15 years). We have perfected mechanical legs and artificial hips to help people walk. We have improved hearing aids to help people here. And we have computer programs that read for blind people. With these and other advances in medical science it makes no sense that these numbers are climbing so rapidly.

The most upsetting part about this paradox is that the government doesn’t publicize disability claims it in the same way they do job reports.

These numbers should be reported alongside welfare, unemployment, and job numbers. There are currently 9 million people in the United States that are classified as disabled peoples, qualifying them for government funded payments and health care. According to a recent study by reporter Chara Joff, more than half

of the registered disabled people are fraudulent. People are fabricating stories and excuses in order to be considered unable to work. Not only are these fraudulent people stealing taxpayer dollars, but they are also offending those who actually need disabled insurance.

I wanted to personally verify Chara’s research, so I set up an interview with a man who society deemed “unable to work”. I asked him how he was disabled, and he responded, “Well, I have high blood pressure”. After I told him that doesn’t qualify him for disabled benefits he quickly informed me that he also had diabetes. I was shocked. The government is paying this gentleman over a thousand dollars each month and paying his health care bills. There are millions of people in corporate America that go to work every day in spite with one ailment or another. In spite of their illnesses, they still find a way to be productive.

Where are we going to draw the line?

As a country we need figure out a better way to identify those who are really in need.

Well done Lakes Region; I’ll be back for Timberman next year To The Daily Sun, I was a first time competitor in last week’s Timberman triathlon. As a beginner in the sport, I figured Timberman was a good choice for my first race. I grew up in Laconia, my first job was at Fay’s Boat Yard, home course advantage!

As I talked to other triathletes everyone told me what a great race it is. How the residents and volunteers are some of the best in the country.

Now that I have competed I know first hand it is true!

From the volunteers there at 4:30 a.m. checking, us nervous, athletes into transition to the wetsuit strippers, the first leg of the race went well. Then you encounter the families on the bike course risking an arm to hand us water on the fly! Encouraging

us all to keep pedaling. Then you pass the fire station. The firefighters are out there yelling “keep pedaling you are almost there”! You finally get off your bike and start the run. The families on Scenic Drive are unbelievable.

Out there with Bacon, live music, a hose to cool you off! High fives, water, sponges, soda and that tasty gel. Then finally into the finish area. People yelling your name, handing you your hat and water. Making sure you are okay.

The thing that impressed me the most — how many young kids gave up a Sunday to help me reach my goal! I thank you all!

Well done Lakes Region. See you next year.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 27, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS I think of our state’s 58,000 people without insurance & ask why?

Scott Brown declares war on conservatives; let him stay in Mass.

To The Daily Sun, I have Medicare, EBPA (the University system) and even a “fallback” medical insurance... and cringe when using them, knowing there are too many in New Hampshire with no coverage and who cannot even take a child in for check-ups or care. How can we be so selfish! And I began to think about some of what I’ve seen in the world: In a remote African village one day, I came upon a health clinic, a small mud-hut, solid, immaculate, in spite of sand and soil blowing everywhere.

There was a nurse attendant, but not an aspirin, a bandage, swabs or tongue depressors. The shelves were bare. Can you imagine the frustration of the young woman over what kind of medicine could she dispense!

Clean old rags were wrapped around wounds, patients had to be brought overland to another village to have a bleeding wound stitched or to splint a broken extremity, and the really sick?... they just lie on a fresh bed of sorghum stocks....

In another village, a more hopeful occasion! I noticed a bit of a flurry among a few women looking way out, far across the desert and on the horizon was what looked to me like a small dust cloud forming, but they knew better, and called out, ululating (a trill), something to the other women and that message went throughout the village. The women, all with at least one or more children, scrambled from all directions to one place on the edge of the village and all had something tucked under an arm. I followed along. Here was a mud house, another clinic, in front of which these formerly wildly crazy and energetic ladies were lining up in absolute order, quietly with infants in arms, on backs, and some little ones clinging to their

To The Daily Sun, Former Senator Scott Brown thinks that you’re the problem if you are a conservative. Brown argued on Fox News (http://video. foxnews.com/v/2625540265001/thestate-of-the-republican-party/) that Republicans should cut more deals with Democrats in Washington and shouldn’t fight so much for conservative policies.

Handed a rare opportunity to fill in for Bill O’Reilly on Fox News on August 23, Scott Brown chose to throw away that platform opportunity over fighting Obama and liberals. Instead, Brown criticized conservatives and the tea party. The same tea party who helped elect Scott Brown to the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts in a special election in early 2010. The same tea party he abandoned while in office.

Brown camouflaged his attack as a call for GOP unity. Yet Brown identified only conservatives as the cause of all the problems. Brown can’t see why moderate campaigns like Romney and McCain keep failing.

Brown repeated the myth that Ronald Reagan couldn’t win the support of conservatives and the tea party today. What a joke! Reagan was a tea party leader before there was a tea party. Establishment moderates

mom’s boubous (traditional dress).

And then I saw that that “something” they were carrying was a plastic bag containing a folder ... and while many of the women were in rags and tatters, that plastic bag and folder looked like they were brand new, but in fact, some of them were a few years old. By this time, I saw a few land rovers dashing across the desert towards us and as they came closer they slowed, keeping the sandstorm to a minimum and headed right to the clinic. And what was it? A contingent from Doctors without Borders. The women let out a loud greeting and the docs leapt out of their vehicles and without a moment’s delay were set up to weigh each infant in a suspended scale, fitted with a diaper-like leather seat in which the child was placed. And next was a physical exam of the child from head to toe, and then inoculations. There was little noise, hardly a voice, perhaps an occasional infant might have given a startled outcry, but the older ones knew the routine and just waited their turn in line. In the plastic bag was the medical chart for each family’s children which were consulted, considered and notations made of care given, or recommended and returned to the mom. I can’t tell you how many they looked at but perhaps as many as 100, yet there was time for each child and mother, a kind word, a smile, some advice; all reassurance to those living in that outback village, in the middle of an ocean of sand, who knew that one day, they would see these visitors again, they were not forgotten, someone really cared.

I think of New Hampshire’s 58,000 people without medical care and ask, why?

Why do black on white killings not merit Pres. Obama’s attention?

To The Daily Sun, In recent days we have all read or heard of stories about whites being killed by blacks. Three black teens shot and killed a 20 something white Australian jogger for the fun of it as they were bored! Two black teens beat up and killed an 88 year old WW II Veteran in Spokane, Wash. in his car while they robbed him. And a black 17-year-old is going on trial for shooting a 13-monthold baby in the face because his mother would not give him money when he demanded it. And these are just the FEW that have been in the national headlines in recent weeks.

So where is Mr. Sharpton, Mr. Jackson and Mr. Obama to highlight these

atrocities? They all got very vocal over the Martin-Zimmerman case when it involved a black kid being killed by a white man! Do you think these men all condone the black juveniles killing white people as acceptable or nothing to be concerned about? Can you tell me how any one is more or less worthy of their attention than any other?

None of these men have uttered a single word about any of these black on white killings and that worries me.

Why do you think these three influential black men pick and choose which racial killings they talk about and which ones they ignore?

fought to block Reagan at every turn, now they want to claim Reagan as their own.

Brown assumed that voters want Republicans to pass more Democrat legislation and don’t want policy contrasts or debates over policy. This assumes that more and more legislation is what America needs.

He endorsed New Jersey’s Chris Christie as a “good conservative” and said Christie ought to be a “darling” to Republican conservatives. Brown called for a “Big Tent” (the insider’s plan to make the party more liberal).

Brown’s monologue appears to have been written for him by Karl Rove.

Brown sees his role as supporting Rove in the orderly elimination of conservative policies.

Brown, flirting a run for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire or for president, claims a home in Rye, but his chosen residence (“domicile”) and voting location — Massachusetts. Brown might play games and pretend that he is a Granite Stater — just like numerous out-of-state Democrat campaign staffers and students did in 2012. This smells like Hillary’s carpetbag move in New York for her Senate seat. Birds of a feather?

LETTERS Grange’s Country Crossroads raised nearly $1,500 for fix-ups To The Daily Sun, The Wicwas Lake Grange held its Third Annual Country Crossroads music festival on Saturday (August 24) and raised nearly $1,500 that will be used to continue repairs and improvements to the historic grange hall located in Meredith Center. More than 200 people attended the inter-generational event and enjoyed wonderful music, great food and in so doing helped guarantee a bright future for the Grange.

The Grange membership would like to thank a number of area businesses for the generous donations they made to help make the event such a success, as well as the talented musicians who provided a night of boot-tapping entertainment. Special thanks is extended to Steve Zajchowski for building the new horseshoe pits that premiered during the event.

Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Belmont donated 500 bottles/cans of soda and water; PepsiCo donated 240 bottles of water; Randi Cyr of Wise Potato Chips donated 180 bags of chips; Brandli’s Pizza of North Conway donated the fried dough; Lepage Bakery/Country Kitchen donated 15 dozen hot dog and hamburger rolls and Moulton Farm donated two bushels of their famous sweet corn.

Barry Ladd of the Meredith Center Store donated the use of his commercial grilles, made the hot and sweet sausage, as well as the freshly ground burgers. Barry then joined fellow Grange members in doing yeoman’s work heading up the cooking crew.

Ambrose Brothers of Meredith donated

the use of a lowboy trailer that was used as a portable stage; Lamprey Septic Service of Moultonborough provided portable sanitary facilities; AmeriGas of Laconia provided the propane to fuel the cooking; George’s Restaurant of Meredith donated the vegetable oil; Mill Falls/Common Man provided the deep frier; Double D Ranch provided the ice as well as the hay bales used to provide extra seating; Dennis and Cookie Boulanger also donated the use of some seating and the Meredith Community Center provided a public address system.

The musicians who shared their talents throughout the night were Randy Philips of Wolfeboro; The Grangers; The Cellar Dwellers; and the talented duo of Phil and Jan Sanguedolce of the band Sweetwater. Thirteen-year-old Grange member and vocalist Jordan Durand opened for The Grangers.

The event would not have been possible without the hard work of the Grange’s membership. The Wicwas Lake Grange would also like to thank the area media for their continued support in publishing articles and photographs recognizing the numerous Lakes Region business owners, tradesman and civic groups who have so willingly given of their time, talents and materials to help restore the historic hall and with it the solvency of the organization.

The Wicwas Grange meets monthly and always welcomes new members. We hope to see you in Meredith Center at the country crossroads of Meredith Center, Corliss Hill and Livingstone roads.

LRGHealthcare welcomes expansion of Medicaid as important to fulfilling mission to provide superior care for all

By Michael Kitch

Gun control solves nothing; we need a cultural revolution in U.S.

LACONIA — Senior executives of LRGHealthcare welcome both the introduction of Medicaid managed care and the expansion of Medicaid enrollment, which they believe offer opportunities to improve the quality and control the cost of care while placing the corporation on a sound financial footing.

Tom Clairmont, president and chief executive officer, said yesterday that the changes in the offing will strengthen the ability of his company to pursue its mission of providing superior medical care to all members of the community. He explained that expanding Medicaid enrollment and establishing insurances exchanges would increase appropriate access to health care by reducing the numbers without insurance.

“It will put people on an equal footing by ensuring their access to primary care physicians,” Clairmont said, “not just to the emergency room.”

He recalled that when Healthlink opened in 1993, it provided access to 3,500 families and reduced visits to the emergency room by half.

This spring LRGHealthcare entered agreements with the three managed care providers that will administer the state’s Medicaid program — Boston Medical Center Health Plan, Inc., Centene Corporation and Meridian Health Plan. Henry Lipman, senior vice-president for Financial Strategies and External Relations, described managed care as the essential infrastructure for administering an expanded Medicaid program. “By contracting with all three managed care companies we’re offering the maximum choice,” he said.

At the same time, LRGHealthcare is one of 13 hospital companies participating in the health care exchange, through which those earning between 139-percent and 400-percent of the federal poverty level can purchase subsidized health insurance from private carriers. Currently Anthem is the only carrier participating in the exchange with three different plans, but Harvard Pilgrim, perhaps along one or more of the managed care companies, will join by 2015.

Lipman estimated that expanding Medicaid to enroll those with incomes of 138-percent of the federal poverty level would add approximately 6,000 patients to the rolls of LRGHealth-

care. He anticipated that the corporation would serve another 3,000 or 4,000 who receive insurance through the exchange.

Andy Patterson, senior-vice-president for Provider Relations and Contracting, said that “we’re seeing many of these patients already.” However, he said that much of this population, rather than undergoing a regimen of continuing care, is seen only when their conditions become acute, requiring costly treatments and interventions. With insurance, Patterson said, these patients will have access to continual care, reducing the need for acute care, costly treatments and repeated visits.Lipman said that extending access to this population would “bend the cost curve,” stressing that utilization of services is a primary driver of rising costs. He noted that to reduce excessive utilization the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has begun penalizing hospitals with high readmission rates and said that LRGHeathcare is among those not to have been penalized. Patterson attributed the success to “embedded care coordinators,” nurses who closely monitor the care and progress progress and care of discharged patients to forestall further costly hospital stays. He added that managed care of Medicaid patients would further ensure that services are provided in a coordinated manner.

Expanding and ensuring access, Clairmont emphasized, ensures continuous and preventative care, which enhances the quality of care in the best interest of the patients and reduces the cost of care in the best interest of the hospitals. Lipman pointed out that reducing the cost of serving of the Medicaid population, lessened the pressure to shift costs to those with private health insurance, which raises premiums for employers and individuals in the private market. “Expanding Medicaid is the right thing to do from a public health perspective and an economic perspective,” he said.

In 2011, in response to reductions in Medicaid reimbursement rates and a projected operating loss of $4-million, LRGHeathcare closed a dozen primary care offices to some 3,500 Medicaid patients, who were referred to two community health centers and two rural health clinics. Lipman said yesterday that changes in the offing would render the reshuffling of the Medicaid population a thing of the past.

To The Daily Sun, Susan Estrich’s August 23 column — “Evil Comes in all Colors” — reveals some blind spots the size of galaxies.

Can she really believe that gun control would have defeated the result of the evil residing in the “beasts” about whom she wrote? Estrich is an intelligent educated person but a blind spot that huge is dysfunctional. To think that gun control would have prevented the “beasts” from arming themselves is just plain unrealistic idealism. Stupid....or insane?

Estrich makes no distinction between “the right to possess a weapon” and the requirement that a weapon be used

WILDFIRE from page 2 detected. That could cost more.

On Monday the fire was still several miles away from the steep granite canyon where the reservoir is nestled, but several spot fires were burning closer, and firefighters were protecting hydroelectric transmission lines and other utility facilities.

“Obviously we’re paying close attention to the city’s water supply,” said Glen Stratton, an operations chief on the fire suppression team.

Power generation at the reservoir was shut down last week so that firefighters

would not be imperiled by live wires.

San Francisco is buying replacement power from other sources to run City Hall and other municipal buildings.

It has been at least 17 years since fire ravaged the northernmost stretch of Yosemite that is under siege.

Park officials cleared brush and set sprinklers on two groves of giant sequoias that were seven to 10 miles away from the fire’s front lines, said park spokesman Scott Gediman.

Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes delivered 6,155 lunches this summer To The Daily Sun, Thanks to the efforts of so many in our community, the first year of Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes was a huge success!

The mission of Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes is to provide a grocery bag of nutritious luncheon products, packed and delivered each week of the summer recess, to the children of families within the InterLakes School District that find themselves in need of a little helping hand.

The program acquired the funds to purchase the food through the heartwarming generosity of the local business community, faith and civic based organizations and individual sponsorships.

In cooperation with the Inter-Lakes School District and the dedicated custodial staff at the elementary school, each Monday morning a group of com-

mitted volunteers, packed grocery bags full of luncheon products for the week and delivered them throughout the townships that make up the InterLakes School District. In total 6,155 lunches were delivered this summer!

On behalf of the board, please accept our deepest gratitude for your generosity, both financially and through your volunteer efforts.

responsibly. Not only is that stupid but it borders on evil itself by advocating that real rights should be taken away by government force.

I don’t like guns. But less I like people who have no regard for freedom. Gun control solves nothing.

America needs a cultural revolution steering youth away from violence and sensationalism (turn off the TV), and that certainly cannot be led by law makers who too often are selfserving fortune seekers who sacrifice integrity for personal gain, or wrongminded blathering columnists.

Old Home Day Woodsmen’s games draws spur-of-the-moment competitors

BY MICHAEL KITCH

GILFORD — It was a day for amateurs at the Gilford Old Home Day Woodsmen’s Competition, which drew a large crowd of more than 350 people to a field next to the Gilford Elementary School Saturday.

Some 26 competitors took part, including Randy Morrissette, 48, of Lakeport, who showed up with some friends to watch the competition and decided at the last minute to enter the pole-climbing event.

Morrissette, who works at New Hampshire Ball Bearing and is a part-time tree worker, finished third with a time of 23.9 seconds, trailing only Osian Batchelder with a time of 18.49 seconds and Clark Goreau with 19.52 seconds. ‘’I was here with a bunch of friends who came down to watch it. They influenced me to give it a try,’’ said Morrissette.

Also making the pole climb was Corey Lofblad, 50, of the Gilford Home Center, who provided the Stihl power saws used by competitors, and who later admitted that making it up the 40-foot pole to ring the bell was a lot of work. ‘’I could hear people yelling and encouraging me. I thought I was doing pretty good until I heard one of them yell ‘keep at it. You’re halfway there’ and I started to wonder what I’d got myself into,’’ said Lofblad.

Ross Breton of Gilmanton, 18, won the axe toss, said he’s no lumberjack and that it was the first time he’s ever thrown an axe in competition.

The 2013 Gilford High School graduate, who works at NAPA Auto

Parts and at Meadowbrook, said that he hopes to come back next year and defend his axe throwing title. ‘’It was fun. a lot of my friends were cheering for me,’’ said Breton.

Dale Squires, one of the organizers of the event and a Belknap Landscape Company employee, took part in the axe-throwing competition, taking fifth place. ‘’It was surprising how much you get involved and how intent you become on hitting the target,’’ said Squires, who said that he was pleased to see so many local people getting involved in the competitions. ‘’It’s great to have A.J. Dupere, head coach of the UNH Woodsman Team, here helping us run the event. He showed everyone who was new at this how to do it well, like the cross-cut saw competition and really encouraged the competitors,’’ said Squires.

Bill Bickford of Kitchen Cravings, chairman of the Gilford Bicentennial committee, which brought the Woodsmen’s Competition to Gilford last year, says that he hopes the event will become a major part of the town’s Old Home Day festivities. ‘’Last year we held it on a Sunday because there were so many Bicentennial activities. It really fills a lull in Saturday activity and looks really popular. People were coming in to set up their lawn chairs before the parade started and were right back here watching us set up after the parade ended. As long as we have the continued support of local businesses like Belknap Landscape Company and the Gilford Home Center I think we’ll do fine,’’ said Bickford.

from preceding page they can be damaged when flames move through slowly.

The fire has swept through steep Sierra Nevada river canyons and stands of thick oak and pine, closing in on Tuolumne City and other mountain communities. It has confounded ground crews with its 300-foot walls of flame and the way it has jumped from treetop to treetop.

Crews bulldozed two huge firebreaks to try to protect Tuolumne City, five miles from the fire’s edge.

“We’ve got hundreds of firefighters staged in town to do structure protec-

tion,” Stratton said. “If the fire does come to town, we’re ready.”

Meanwhile, biologists with the Forest Service are studying the effect on wildlife. Much of the area that has burned is part of the state’s winter-range deer habitat. Biologist Crispin Holland said most of the large deer herds would still be well above the fire danger.

Biologists discovered stranded Western pond turtles on national forest land near the edge of Yosemite.

Their marshy meadow had burned, and the surviving creatures were huddled in the middle of the expanse in what little water remained.

Loudon woman wins canoe in prep for ‘Hands Across the Water’ event on Sept. 7

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Loudon woman who won a Guide 147 canoe from Old Town Canoes and Kayaks and Irwin Marine when she registered online for LakeFest says that she and her husband are looking forward to taking part in the ‘’Hands Across the Water’’’ event which will be held at Weirs Beach next month. ‘’We already have a kayak and will be bringing that to the event,’’ said Denise Byrne, who showed up Sunday at Irwin Marine along with her husband, Rich, to claim her prize.

Tom O’Brien, president of the New Hampshire Lakes Association, said that organization’s plan to have more than 2,000 canoes and kayaks assemble and paddle together on Saturday, September 7 to form the world’s largest raft and set a new Guinness World Record. ‘’We gave away the canoe as a promotion in order to get people to register and show up for LakeFest,’’ said O’Brien, who said that he is heartened by the response from lake associations all over the state which are planning to send teams to the gathering.

He said that the canoes and kayaks will be launched from a number of shoreline access points, public and private, roughly between Awka Marina to the west and Pendleton Beach to the east. Once all of the boats

are assembled the 3,000 to 4,000 participants will raise their paddles, and then join hands and raft together for at least 30 seconds.

He said the event will break the current world record, set in upstate New York last summer, when 1,925 canoes and kayaks gathered at 4th Lake at Inlet, New York in a ‘’One Square Mile of Hope’’ fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

A blast of the horn from the MS Mount Washington cruise ship will be sounded at 10 a.m. as the signal for the participants to paddle out to a designated area, 1,000 feet by 1,000 feet, just off from Weirs Beach, which will be surrounded by support boats.. ‘’We’re working with volunteers from paddling groups and from lakes all over the state,’’ said O’Brien, who said that the goal of the event is to raise awareness of the spread of invasive aquatic weeds such as water milfoil, which he said is already costing more than $1 million a year statewide to combat.

Proceeds from the event will benefit the association’s efforts to combat invasive species, something that the organization, which administers the statewide Lake Host program, which coordinates the voluntary inspection of boats in lakes all over the state for invasive aquatic species, is very familiar with. see next page

Tilton man charged with trying to bite Laconia officer attempting to restrain him

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Tilton man spent Sunday night in jail after allegedly trying to bite a police officer who was booking him for driving while intoxicated.

Joseph M. Buckley, Jr., 51, of Dublin Drive is charged with one count of resisting arrest, one count of assault on a police officer and one count of driving while intoxicated.

Police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Buckley was stopped by police at 7:19 p.m. after a man called to report an erratic driver on Weirs Boulevard.

Police stopped him by Laconia House of Pizza and said Buckley voluntarily took a field sobriety test. The arresting officer said he swayed when he got out of the car and needed to hold on to it for support.

After Buckley was arrested and taken to the Laconia Police station, he allegedly became irate and refused to fill out an administrative license suspension form. He also refused to answer any questions related to his arrest or identify.

When told he was being transported MEDAL from page 2 larger force of Taliban and local fighters.

Still suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome, Carter stood nearly emotionless during the ceremony, although a faint smile crossed his face near the end that turned into a broad grin as Obama hung the metal and its blue ribbon around his neck and the audience — which included 40 members of the recipient’s family — answered with a rousing standing ovation.

Later, Carter told reporters outside the White House that receiving the medal had been “one of the greatest experiences” for his family and that he would “strive to live up to the responsibility.”

He also said he wanted to help the American public to better understand the “invisible wounds” still inflicting him and thousands of others.

“Only those closest to me can see from preceding page Now in its 12th year, the Lake Host program awards payroll grants to local groups which carry out its educational programs at boat ramps open to the public on lakes, ponds, and rivers throughout New Hampshire.

O’Brien said the rafting event will be followed by an on-land celebration which will be set up at Endicott Park at Weirs Beach and hopefully will draw between 1,000 and 2,000 people.

to the Belknap County House of Corrections, he stood up but allegedly resisted the officer’s attempts to handcuff him.

A struggle ensued and after the officer took him to the floor and got the handcuffs on his left hand, he allegedly began to thrash and kick.

After numerous warnings the officer deployed pepper spray.

Buckley allegedly yelled, “Did you just spray me, bitch,” and grabbed the officer’s right forearm and tried to bite her. When he tried to flip her onto her back, a second officer assisted getting his other hand into the handcuffs.

As the two were escorting him to a cruiser he became combative and continued to struggle. Police said he pulled away from them and fell to the floor and hit his lip.

He was seen by an EMT and taken to Lakes Region General Hospital by an for treatment for a cut lip and then taken to jail.

Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $3,000 cash bail $10,000 personal recognizance bail. Buckley posted $500 yesterday and is free provided he post the remaining $2,500 by tomorrow at 4 p.m. the scars,” Carter said, reading his statement. He said Americans should realize that those suffering from posttraumatic stress syndrome “are not damaged, they are just burdened by living when others are not.”

Obama praised Carter for talking openly about the disorder for some time.

Obama said that Carter, like many veterans, “at first resisted seeking help,” but later accepted counseling.

“The pain of that day ... may never go away,” Obama said, including flashbacks and nightmares. But he praised Carter for seeking help and pushing back, and for acknowledging his struggle publicly and helping other troops with their recovery.

The battle, one of the fiercest of the war in Afghanistan, occurred while Carter was stationed at Command Outpost Keating in the eastern part of the country. The roughly 53 U.S. troops at the outpost were at first overpowered by 300 or more Taliban fighters. But despite overwhelming numerical odds and “blizzards of bullets and steel,” Carter and his fellow soldiers “pushed the enemy back. The soldiers retook their camp.”

In February, Obama bestowed the Medal of Honor on another survivor of that firefight, former Staff Sgt. Clinton Romesha. It was the first time since the Vietnam War that two living soldiers of the same battle were presented with the Medal of Honor.

LACONIA — The City Council last night authorized the expenditure of not more than $275,000, drawn from the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Fund for improvements to what has been dubbed “Gateway Plaza” on the north side of the Main Street bridge over the Winnipesaukee River.

The plan consists of adding four elements to the existing space. Planting beds edged with granite curbing, each with two shade trees, would be placed in front of Sawyer’s Jewelry to the west and near the entrance to the parking garage to the east. In addition, to the planting bed there would be a brick island with planters and benches on the west side of the foot of Main Street. A green space, ringed with shade trees and lined granite seating, would front the Grace Capital Church, accented by circular brick plaza, 20 feet in diameter, at the corner of Main Street and Beacon Street West. Finally, a brick island with planters and would lie along Beacon Street East overlooking the Winnipesaukee River.

The Main Street Initiative, which had expressed GATOR from page one “It was lying on the sidewalk,” he said, describing it as a two-foot “crocodile” that ran into a neighboring property when it noticed he and the dog.

The man said he called the Laconia Police.

Lt. Rich Simmons said yesterday that on August 16 at 9:25 p.m. police were notified about a 2-to-3 foot alligator near the corner of Jefferson and Elm Streets.

Two officers responded and the supervisor called Lt. Mike Eastman of the N.H. Department of Fish and Game and learned the alligator belongs to one of the few licensed alligators owners in the state.

Simmons said Eastman told his officers where the alligator’s owner lived and the man’s two teenaged daughters came and picked up the gator and carried it home.

A lieutenant with the N.H. Fish and Game Department said owning alligators has been illegal in New Hampshire since 2007, however the people who owned one before the law went into effect can keep them under the grandfather clause.

She also said it is rare but not unheard of for alligators to escape captivity and she personally recalled one incident where someone had released an alligator into the wild and Fish and Game officers brought it to Plaistow for shelter.

Kevin McCurley of New England Reptile Distributors in Plaistow said alligators cannot survive in New Hampshire unless they are kept in a controlled

misgivings about an earlier, more extensive and expensive proposal, endorsed the project.

In response to a question from Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the Downtown TIF Advisory Board would be presenting a more comprehensive proposal for improvements in the near future. She stressed that the plan for the Gateway Plaza must be incorporated into the design for the reconstruction of the Main Street bridge and submitted to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation by next week.

NOTE: City Manager Scott Myers reported that the volume of recyclables collected at the curbside in the two weeks between August 5 and August 16 represented $23.1-percent of the total tonnage of solid waste , compared to 24.8-percent for the prior twoweek period. He noted that together with half the 30.85 taken to the remote sites, recyclables topped 30-percent of the total solid waste stream. “We’re seeing really strong compliance across all areas of the city,” he said, adding that after the first few weeks of the new collection regimen the number of violations has diminished significantly. environment.

McCurley said there are about a dozen alligators owned legally in the state and all of them are bred in captivity and quite docile. Kept in a controlled environment, he said alligators can be kept small by regulating their habitat and diet.

He said the biggest alligator he owns is close to 200 pounds and he has had her for years. He recalled a man in Indiana who does exhibits with his alligator named “Bubba.”

“You can’t equate these to the 12-foot alligators in Florida you see on television,” McCurley said, adding alligators sold by legitimate sellers are never taken out of the wild.

“Once the temperature gets to about 40 degrees they’ll die,” McCurley said. “That alligator was probably terrified.”

He said he does rescue work for the state Department of Fish and Game and through his network is typically able to find safe and secure homes for the occasional alligator whose former owner decided it was too much work and released it to fend for itself.

He said the irresponsible people are the ones who get an alligator unlawfully, get sick of it, and let it go into the wild. He likened it to someone getting a large-breed dog and then dumping it when it becomes too big for the apartment.

FIREFIGHTER from page one Erickson noted that Sanborn had grown up in a city which had experienced several devastating fires, including the Great Lakeport fire of 1903, which destroyed 108 homes, two churches, two factories, two blacksmith shops, a vacant mill, a fire station and electrical light department.

In 1903 the city completed construction of a new Water Street fire station which five bay doors, a hay loft and storage room for oats on the second floor and stables for five horses at the back of the building.

In 1916, Laconia Fire Chief Arthur Spring recommended motorizing the fleet owing to the high cost of horses (the department had eight at that

time and it cost $6,000 to feed them) and in 1917 the city got its first motorized fire truck, an American LaFrance which cost $8,100.

Erickson said that other Laconia firefighters who lost their lives while on duty were: — Milo Judkins, a captain at the Lakeport station who died on Nov. 12, 1949 at the station after returning from a call, — Maurice Benwell, who died on May 5, 1987, while working a pump at the Laconia Water Works; — Lt. Mark Miller, who died in a training accident with the underwater rescue team at Weirs Beach on March 11, 2004.

HERITAGE from page one

also needs more members, particularly individuals with an appreciation of architecture and an ability to research deeds.

Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) said the commission has fulfilled its role, which he said is “to sound the alarm,” but was hard pressed to suggest what more could be done to preserve properties their owners preferred to demolish and redevelop.

Although Clark acknowledged that the commission faced a dilemma, returning to the Hathaway House she declared “we will fight to the end for this building.”

NOTE: On the recommendation of Mayor Mike Seymour, the City Council authorized City Manager Scott Myers to meet with officials of Aavid Thermalloy, LLC to discuss changing the name of Primrose Drive South, where the company’s headquarters are located.

Recently the firm, which was begun in Laconia in 1964, announced that it was returning its corporate headquarters to the city from Concord. Seymour said that Primrose Drive South is often confused with Primrose Drive North on the opposite side of Lexington Drive and in recognition of the firm’s presence in the city it could be renamed “Aavid Drive.” . . . . . . The City Council unanimously agreed to a new two-year contract with LRGHealthcare to provide ambulance services to the city. City manager Sacott Myers said that the agreement mirrors that which expired in June. LRGHealthcare will pay the salary of the deputy chief for medical services, Shawn Riley, as well as of the four senior paramedics. The contract does not provide for the purchase of an ambulance, but can be renewed and amended to include a new ambulance if necessary.

clothing store. “He couldn’t care less about you or the city. It’s all about making money.”

St. Clair’s remarks followed a plea by Dorothy Duffy on behalf of the Heritage Commission that the city strengthen its efforts to preserve historic buildings.

In a statement, read to the council by Pam Clark, who chairs the commission, Duffy wrote that its members are “distressed and feeling derelict in our duties and reduced to doing the opposite of our intent. We are razing stately old dwellings to build parking lots.” She attached photographs of buildings that have been both preserved and demolished along with others the commission fears are at risk.

In chairing the commission, Clark told the councilors she finds herself signing the permits to demolish the buildings she believes the commission was created to preserve. For instance, the Baker House on Mechanic Street, is being to demolished to expand the car lot at Cantin Chevrolet. “We haven’t really accomplished anything,” she said, “and we haven’t had support from the community.”

Clark wondered if there were some way to revise the demolition permit to afford historic buildings greater protection and was encouraged to discuss the issue with City Manager Scott Myers and Planning Director Shanna Saunders. She said that registering buildings as historic landmarks was the surest way to protect them, but that required the consent of the owner.

Clark said the commission needs resources and indicated she intended to submit a budget request later this year. The commission, she continued,

Laconia temple & Plymouth church join statewide effort to remember famous Dr. King speech CONCORD — On August 28, 1963 at 3 p.m. Dr. Martin Luther King first uttered one of the most powerful and memorable phrases in American history, “I have a dream.” In the spirit of what Dr. King called “the fierce urgency of now,” the King Center for Nonviolent Social Change invites people across the country to celebrate the Civil Rights leader’s vision by ringing bells at 3 p.m. on August 28, the 50th anniversary of his speech.

In collaboration with the King Center, the New Hampshire Humanities Council has solicited and collected information on events around the state and is publicizing a list of planned observances in the Granite State.

Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” marked a crucial turning point in the American Civil Rights movement and asserted his absolute commitment to a nonviolent approach to confronting America’s entrenched system of racial bias. In it, he urged Americans to let freedom ring “....from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.” His words resound through the years, celebrat-

ing the progress America has made in the quest for racial justice, and recalling us to the challenges that still confront us as a nation.

Events in New Hampshire include showings of Dr. King’s speech, discussions of the impact of Dr. King’s legacy, musical performances, and the ringing of bells at 3 p.m. to mark the moment Dr. King gave his immortal speech, including a bell ringing ceremony on the summit of Mount Washington. Several communities plan live readings of the speech by a wide array of New Hampshire citizens from Gov. Maggie Hassan to author Ernest Hebert to new residents who have come to New Hampshire as refugees. For more information visit the New Hampshire Humanities Council’s website.

In addition to previously-announced events, local organizations participating include: Temple B’nai Israel in Laconia will host a ceremony at 3 p.m. at 210 Court St. Many Jews attended the March on Washington and heard Dr. Martin see next page

Dress for Success with Straight Teeth Teeth send a signal about “where you are at” in life when it comes to health and facial esthetics. They are useful for things like speaking and chewing, but there are people with no teeth who can still speak and take nourishment (soft diet only).

Arguably, the most important thing that teeth do is provide you with a trademark “look”, and that look speaks volumes about you without saying a word. Much is made of tooth color these days, and it can be a positive, neutral, or negative feature of your smile. More important than color for most of us is the position of the teeth relative to your lips, face, and other teeth. Color doesn’t matter much if you have buck teeth, crooked teeth, or crowded teeth. Fangs, tipped or tilted teeth, and teeth that are rotated may compromise your ability to present a positive image in spite of an otherwise winning personality. Nature deals some people a bad hand when it comes to teeth, but with a little help from the right dentist these problems can all be solved.

Orthodontic treatment can work magic for people of all ages (we have patients from 7 to “seventy-something” in treatment right now who are doing great!). Ask your dentist about orthodontic options if you want to change your smile –’3f you’ll be glad you did!

Laconia Historical & Museum Society presenting exhibit on Laconia Hospital history LACONIA — The Laconia Historical and Museum Society anounces the opening of its exhibit ‘’Shall We Have a Hospital?’’ on Tuesday, September 3 at 6 p.m. at the Laconia Public Library.

The movement for a hospital began on November 21, 1891 with an editorial in the Laconia Democrat outlining the need for a local hospital. A tragic accident in 1897 demonstrated that need and through innovative fundraising, bequests and donations it became a reality.

Moultonborough studio hosting West Africa drumming workshop with Sayon Camara on September 14 MOULTONBOROUGH — Traditional drum player Sayon Camara will grace the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee during an afternoon West African Drumming workshop on Saturday, September 14 at the Holland Hill Yoga and Fitness Studio in Moultonborough. The workshop will run from noon to 3:30 p.m.

Camara, who resides in Woodstock, Vermont most of the year has played the djembe (traditional drum) since he was seven years old, when one was gifted to him by his father who also played. He spent 30 years in the village of his birth playing as the djembefola. In his traditional language which is Malinke, spoken by the Mandinka people of Guinea, djembefola means simply, one who plays the djembe.

There are not many among Camara’s people these days who undertake the rigor of being a djembefola.

In fact, Camara’s last teacher, the world renowned master djembefola, Famoudou Konate has opened the doors to anyone, from any nationality, who wishes to learn in an effort to keep the traditional music alive.

In a West African village such as the one Camara grew up in, being the djembefola meant playing for the people as they lived their daily lives, whether harvesting rice, naming a baby, or marrying, a celebration that calls for four days of drumming. In addition to the djembe, three other drums typically accompany the djembe, known as dununs, as well as a song, sung in Malinke.

Admission is $50 per person. All levels are welcome to participate. Advance registration requested.

To register or for more information call 802-7794914 or visit SayonCamaraDrumming.com/workshops.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today is a bit of a travesty, but don’t worry. The commonly mistaken definition of “travesty” -- an unfortunate event -- will not apply. It’s the real meaning -- a false or distorted representation -- that will apply.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). “Do your best” is a cliche at risk of losing real meaning if left unexamined. How do you do your best? You apply yourself, and all you have and know, with full respect and attention to the task at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). What you put your money into is the least of your investments. Your time and attention are far more precious than money, and your loved ones know this.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27). You’ll get to know an interesting new someone, and this changes the flow of your year. September brings funding for an important goal. You’ll be involved with a special event in November and will be credited with its success. Practice and prepare, because January is your chance at a high position. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 33, 25, 48 and 15.

Today’s Birthdays: Cajun-country singer Jimmy C. Newman is 86. Author Dame Antonia Fraser is 81. Actor Tommy Sands is 76.

Bluegrass singer-musician J.D. Crowe is 76.

Musician Daryl Dragon is 71. Actress Tuesday Weld is 70. Actor G.W. Bailey is 69. Rock singer-musician Tim Bogert is 69. Actress Marianne Sagebrecht is 68. Country musician Jeff Cook is 64. Actor Paul Reubens is 61. Rock musician Glen Matlock (The Sex Pistols) is 57. Country musician Matthew Basford is 51. Writer-producer Dean Devlin is 51. Rock musician Mike Johnson is 48.

Country singer Colt Ford is 44. Actress Chandra Wilson is 44. Rock musician Tony Kanal (No Doubt) is 43. Actress Sarah Chalke is 37.

Actor RonReaco Lee is 37. Actress-singer Demetria McKinney is 35. Actor Aaron Paul is 34. Rock musician Jon Siebels (Eve 6) is 34.

Actor Shaun Weiss is 34. Actor Kyle Lowder is 33. Actor Patrick J. Adams is 32. Singer Mario is 27. Actress Alexa Vega is 25.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You like to have a detailed understanding about all that’s in your environment, and today you’ll connect with someone who can help you broaden your knowledge. The more you know the more comfortable and confident you feel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Have a talk with your thoughts. The unsupportive ones have been taking up too much real estate in your brain. Ask for all supportive notions to come forward.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It does no good to dwell on your dissatisfaction with the way things are. An ailing situation can and will get better once you land on a vision of the way you want it to be. Think about what a long-range solution would look like.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Something you understand, dear crab, is that the waves are not influenced by the wishes of man or mermaid or fish. They are obedient only to the pull of the moon. Likewise, you’ll respond to a higher force.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may suddenly realize that your situation calls for a different kind of energy than the kind you’ve been applying to it. You’ll cause a shift by demonstrating a different mood and tone.

Others will follow your lead.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Explore your curiosities. Today it’s as futile to resist a natural attraction as it is to defy a physical force like gravity. Besides, maybe there’s a good reason you want what you want.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have many regrets, because you realize that you can, at any point, make a new choice. Even if you can’t take on a new venture at this time, it’s never too late to be who you want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Recognize that even though your feelings are real, they may not pertain to the current situation. Triggers from the past may still be influencing your reaction to the present.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be excellent at doing what’s right in front of you. If it’s next to you or behind you, you’re going to assume someone else is handling it or that it’s already been dealt with.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Aug. 27, the 239th day of 2013. There are 126 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 27, 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa erupted with a series of cataclysmic explosions; the resulting tidal waves in Indonesia’s Sunda Strait claimed some 36,000 lives in Java and Sumatra.

On this date: In 1776, the Battle of Long Island began during the Revolutionary War as British troops attacked American forces, who ended up being forced to retreat two days later.

In 1859, Edwin L. Drake drilled the first successful oil well in the United States, at Titusville, Pa. In 1908, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36th president of the United States, was born near Stonewall, Texas.

In 1928, the Kellogg-Briand Pact was signed in Paris, outlawing war and providing for the peaceful settlement of disputes.

In 1939, the first turbojet-powered aircraft, the Heinkel He 178, went on its first full-fledged test flight over Germany.

In 1942, the Times of London published an editorial calling on the British government to promote the production of penicillin, the first mention of the antibiotic by a newspaper.

In 1957, the USS Swordfish, the second Skate Class nuclear submarine, was launched from the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Maine.

In 1962, the United States launched the Mariner 2 space probe, which flew past Venus in December 1962.

In 1963, author, journalist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois died in Accra, Ghana, at age 95.

In 1967, Brian Epstein, manager of the Beatles, was found dead in his London flat from an overdose of sleeping pills; he was 32.

In 1979, British war hero Lord Louis Mountbatten and three other people, including his 14-yearold grandson Nicholas, were killed off the coast of Ireland in a boat explosion claimed by the Irish Republican Army.

In 1989, the first U.S. commercial satellite rocket was launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla. — a Delta booster carrying a British communications satellite, the Marcopolo 1.

Ten years ago: A granite monument of the Ten Commandments that became a lightning rod in a legal storm over the separation of church and state was wheeled from the rotunda of the Alabama Supreme Court building as protesters knelt, prayed and chanted, “Put it back!” In Chicago, a man who had been fired from an auto parts warehouse six months earlier came back with a gun and killed six employees before being shot dead by police. Thirty-nine people died in a stampede at an Indian religious festival.

Five years ago: Barack Obama was nominated for president by the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A federal judge in Boise, Idaho, sentenced longtime sex offender Joseph Edward Duncan III to death for the 2005 kidnapping, torture and murder of 9-year-old Dylan Groene.

One year ago: Republicans opened their national convention in Tampa, Fla., a day late, then immediately adjourned as Tropical Storm Isaac surged toward New Orleans and the northern Gulf Coast.

Center Harbor Food Pantry in need of food, volunteers and equipment

Pastor Bob Farah is shown with near empty shelves of the Center Harbor Food Pantry that serves 371 families monthly in Belknap, Carroll and Grafton Counties. The pantry needs donations so it can be restocked. Food is gathered from Hannaford’s, Boy Scouts, three schools, Moulton’s Farm, individuals and the government. The pantry distributes 20,000 pounds of food monthly, but could probably use 40,000 pounds due to the demand according to Farah. In addition to food, the pantry is also in need of equipment. There is usually more produce then refrigeration, resulting in unnecessary losses. The 1,350 square foot pantry contains eight freezers, and three refrigerators, all antiquated. Two freezers were lost last month. New appliances, a reliable truck (preferably a box truck), and more volunteers are needed for sorting food and 17 weekly food runs. Call 253-8008 or drop off food/donations at 80 Bean Road. (Courtesy photo)

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 46 years old and have one problem. I HATE sex.

Everyone, including my boyfriend of seven years, thinks there’s something wrong with me. I’m sure there is, but I have hated having sex since I was first intimate. I can’t believe he has stayed with me this long.

I don’t like to be touched by anyone. As soon as someone gets close, I move away so they don’t accidentally brush against me. I force myself to have sex with my boyfriend and pretend I enjoy it because I know it’s not fair to deny him.

But the whole time we are being intimate, I’m thinking, “Is this ever going to end?” What is wrong with me? -- Maryland Miss Dear Maryland: Sex should be a pleasurable activity. There are people who are disinterested or ambivalent about sex. But someone who dislikes being touched may have psychological issues that were not resolved or sensory issues that were never addressed. We commend you for being willing to work on this. Please talk to your doctor and also contact AASECT (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists) at aasect.org. They may be able to guide you toward a healthier, happier outlook.

Dear Annie: I am a first-time grandma to a beautiful baby girl. We live in the same town. I offered to be the caregiver at their home, but my daughter-in-law prefers to take the baby with her on a 50-mile round-trip to a daycare near her job. I was devastated by that decision, but accepted it.

What I’m having trouble understanding is how often I see the baby. During my few short visits, I have not felt comfortable in their home. I communicate with my son because my daughter-in-law seems very standoffish. I told my son I don’t wish to be a burden on their household routine, but twice I made arrangements to see the baby only to be told on the day

of that visit that I had to leave after 30 minutes. The last visit was five weeks ago.

I phoned my son and begged to see the baby more often.

He agreed at the time that once a week (depending on their schedule) was not unreasonable. I set up an hour visit for this week, and when I arrived at their door, they were preparing to leave the house. My visit, which meant so much to me, was totally forgotten.

My son and his wife have known each other only 13 months.

Between the pregnancy, the marriage, the birth and moving into their home, I know it’s been stressful, so I’ve tried to be patient. What is a reasonable expectation for visiting the new baby? -- Want To Know My Granddaughter Dear Want: There is no definitive timetable for visiting. It depends on the flexibility and schedules of those involved, as well as the willingness of the participants. Your daughter-inlaw apparently is not keen on having you around, and your son is caught in the middle. Don’t push. Instead, make it your goal to become closer to your daughter-in-law. Be her friend.

Call her. Ask how she’s doing. Let her know you value her and think she’s a good wife and mother. See whether you can arrange an excursion to the mall or a concert -- whatever interests her. If you can help her to be more comfortable around you, the visits will likely increase.

Dear Annie: Please tell “Need Help,” the teenager who has mood swings, that most teachers check their email throughout the summer and during school vacations. No matter when it is, most of us are just an email away. We still care about our students, regardless of whether it’s summertime, winter vacation or spring break. That letter broke my heart. It sounds like a student I had this year. I hope he emails me. -- Teacher in Louisville, Ky.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, August 27, 2013— Page 27

Genealogy Interest Group to host author Aimee Gagnon Fogg on Sept. 12 WOLFEBORO — The Lakes Region Genealogy Interest Group will hold their September meeting on Thursday, September 12, 2013 at the Wolfeboro Public Library beginning at 6:30 p.m. The first hour will strictly be a question and answer period, followed by a program presented by Aimee Gagnon Fogg at 7 p.m.

Fogg’s program will highlight the process of researching and writing her book “The Granite Men of Henri-Chapelle.” In 2009, Fogg began searching to

discover what happened to her uncle, Paul Lavoie, who died while fighting in Europe during World War II. She wanted to know more about the man, where he served and how he died. Through research at archives and historical societies, the help of a World War II veteran, and a trip to retrace her uncle’s path, Fogg was able to learn more about Lavoie. Her search revealed that he was buried in the Henri-Chapelle American Military Cemetery in Belgium. While at the cemetery, she realized she wanted to tell the stories of all the New

Hampshire men buried there.

With the help of the staff at Henri-Chapelle, family members of the fallen men and a lot more research, Fogg was able to gather the histories and stories of the 40 New Hampshire men buried in the cemetery. The venture has been so successful that she has been asked to write a similar book about the Henri-Chapelle men from Vermont.

For more information call Dee Ide at 630-8497 or Cindy Scott at the Wolfeboro Public Library at 5692428.

‘Country Estates of NH’ talk in Franklin FRANKLIN– The Franklin Historical Society, co-hosting with the Franklin Public Library, has received a grant from the New Hampshire Humanities Council to host the program ‘Exemplary Country Estates of New Hampshire’. This talk will be presented by Cristina Ashjian on Thursday, September 5, at 7 p.m. at the Franklin Public Library (310 Central Street, second floor meeting room, which is ADA accessible by the elevator through the rear door from the back parking lot), and is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served following the program and before the regular business meeting of the Society.

In the early 20th century, the New Hampshire Board of Agriculture launched a drive to boost the rural economy and promote tourism through the sale of abandoned farms to summer residents. After introducing the country house movement, Ashjian focuses attention on some of the great country estates featured in the state’s promotional “New Hampshire Farms for Summer Homes” publication between 1902 and 1913. Which private estates

were recognized as exemplary, and who were their owners?

Using historic images and texts, Ashjian discusses well-known estates now open to the public such as The Fells on Lake Sunapee, The Rocks in Bethlehem, and Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site in Cornish. The presentation will explore the architecture and scope of various country houses, and examine the fate of significant private estates showcased in the state literature.

Cristina Ashjian is an art historian and independent scholar based in Moultonborough, where she is presently the chair of the Moultonborough Heritage Commission. She holds an MA in the History of Art from the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London and a PhD in Modern Art and Architecture from Northwestern University.

The Franklin Historical Society’s activities, recent newsletters, information on membership, and a list of merchandise available, are all posted on the Society’s website, www.franklinnhhistoricalsociety.org. Visit often and consider investing in $10 a year membership to be part of preserving and celebrating Franklin’s colorful past.
