Trustees nix idea of converting Gale School to library

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — After deliberating in a non-public session held several weeks ago, the Library Trustees voted unanimously against supporting the Save the Gale School Committee’s bid to use the old building as a public library.

According to Chair Mary Louise Charnley, the trustees went into a non-public session on October 15 because the topic involved the lease and or purchase of real-estate.

She said that included in the reasons not to support the idea were concerns about heating and supplying electricity to

such a large building should it be moved and used as a library and whether or not locating a public library on school property was a viable idea.

“A public library must be available to everyone in a community,” she said, noting that school districts typically need to control access to their campuses.

The Save the Gale School Committee had recommended relocating the historic Gale School from its perch above and behind the Belmont Middle School to a corner lot on Concord Street that currently belongs to the Shaker Regional School District. During a recent see GALE page 8

business owners. They are our community.”

Yesterday’s ceremony at Veterans Square was hosted by the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 1670, whose commander Glenn Groleau reminded the crowd they came to honor “veterans from every period of peace” as well as those who served and fell in times of war. “I just want people to remember the sacrifices these men and women have made for the freedom we have,” he said. Offering

an opening prayer, Groleau sought grace for all who wore the uniform and bore the arms of the United States and “comfort for all who gave their loved ones” to the service of the country.

Cheshire County jailer advocates for legalization of marijuana

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — A jail superintendent in New Hampshire is speaking out in Vermont in support of legalizing marijuana.

Richard Van Winkler, superintendent of the Cheshire County House of Corrections, will speak Tuesday at a town hall meeting at the Vermont Statehouse. In a recent interview, he told Vermont Public Radio that under the current system, drug money goes to bad guys and the money funds terrorism.

“If we legalize, control, regulate, tax in the same way that we do for alcohol, we put the illegal drug dealer out of business,” said Van Winkler, who emphasized that advocating for policy reform is not the same as advocating for using marijuana.

In July, Vermont decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana.

The states of Colorado and Washington recently legalized marijuana, and Van Winkler thinks other states should follow.

Typhoon victims in Philippines plead for aid TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — Bloated bodies lay uncollected and uncounted in the streets and desperate survivors pleaded for food, water and medicine as rescue workers took on a daunting task Monday in the typhoon-battered islands of the Philippines.

Thousands were feared dead.

The hard-hit city of Tacloban resembled a garbage dump from the air, with only a few concrete buildings left standing in the wake of one of the most powerful storms to ever hit land, packing 147-mph winds and whipping up 20-foot walls of seawater that tossed ships inland and swept many

out to sea.

“Help. SOS. We need food,” read a message painted by a survivor in large letters on the ravaged city’s port, where water lapped at the edge.

There was no one to carry away the dead, which lay rotting along the main road from the airport to Tacloban, the worst-hit city along the country’s remote eastern seaboard.

At a small naval base, eight swollen corpses — including that of a baby — were submerged in water brought in by the storm. Officers had yet to move them,

saying they had no body bags or electricity to preserve them.

Authorities estimated the typhoon killed 10,000 or more people, but with the slow pace of recovery, the official death toll three days after the storm made landfall remained at 942.

However, with shattered communications and transportation links, the final count was likely days away, and presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said “we pray” it does not surpass 10,000.

U.S. Postal Service wins Sunday delivery contract from Amazon

NEW YORK (AP) — Amazon is rolling out Sunday package delivery as part of a new deal with the U.S. Postal Service.

Delivery started on Sunday to customers in the New York and Los Angeles metropolitan areas, but Amazon and the Postal Service plan to extend service to “a large portion of the U.S. population” next year, the company said. This includes the cities of Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, and Phoenix.

Sunday delivery will be available to all Amazon customers for no extra charge but Amazon expects it will be particularly popular with members of its Prime service, which costs $79 a year and comes with free two-day shipping on many items on the site as well as access to Amazon’s TV and movie streaming service.

“For Prime members, it’s free, for nonPrime members, it’s like any other deliv-

ery day of the week,” said Dave Clark, vice president of worldwide operations and customer service at Amazon.

Sunday delivery has been on Amazon’s wish list for a long time. The company does not disclose the percentage of its packages that are delivered on weekends, but Clark expects customers “to be delighted that they will get their products on a weekend.” see AMAZON page 3

Bandit brandishing knife holds up Lakeport market

LACONIA — Police continue to investigate an armed robbery that occurred at the P&P Market on Elm Street Sunday afternoon.

Police said that at 3:57 p.m. a while male with a light brown goatee entered the store wielding a 10-inch fixed-blade knife. He demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money.

Police released three photos of the man to the media yesterday that were obtained from the video surveillance cameras in the market.

The bandit is described as wearing a brown hooded-sweatshirt with a red T-shirt underneath, a black coat, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Police said he is about 35-years-old.

TYPHOON from page 2 that is not destroyed or severely damaged in some way — every single building, every single house,” U.S. Marine Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy said after taking a helicopter flight over Tacloban, the largest city in Leyte province. He spoke on the tarmac at the airport, where two Marine C-130 cargo planes were parked, engines running, unloading supplies.

Authorities said at least 9.7 million people in 41 provinces were affected by the typhoon, known as Haiyan elsewhere in Asia but called Yolanda in the Philippines. It was likely the deadliest natural disaster to beset this poor Southeast Asian nation.

“Please tell my family I’m alive,” said Erika Mae Karakot as she stood among a throng of people waiting for aid. “We need water and medicine because a lot of the people we are with are wounded. Some are suffering from diarrhea and dehydration due to shortage of food and water.”

Philippine soldiers were distributing food and water, and assessment teams from the United Nations and other international agencies were seen Monday for the first time. The U.S. military dispatched food, water, generators and a contingent of

Marines to the city, the first outside help in what will swell into a major international relief mission.

Authorities said they had evacuated some 800,000 people ahead of the typhoon, but many evacuation centers proved to be no protection against the wind and rising water. The Philippine National Red Cross, responsible for warning the region and giving advice, said people were not prepared for a storm surge.

“Imagine America, which was prepared and very rich, still had a lot of challenges at the time of Hurricane Katrina, but what we had was three times more than what they received,” said Gwendolyn Pang, the group’s executive director.

Emily Ortega, 21 and about to give birth, said she clung to a post to survive after the evacuation center she fled to was devastated by the 20-foot (6-meter) storm surge. She reached safety at the airport, where she gave birth to a baby girl, Bea Joy Sagales, whose arrival drew applause from the military medics who assisted in the delivery.

The wind, rain and coastal storm surges transformed neighborhoods into twisted piles of debris, blocking roads and trapping decomposing bodies underneath.

Cars and trucks lay upended among flattened homes, and bridges and ports were washed away.

The revolution in joint replacement is here.

Shouldn’t you be?

There’s a new approach happening in hip and knee replacement. One that promises

AMAZON from page 2 Financial terms of the arrangement were not disclosed, but the deal is likely to give the financially ailing Postal Service a boost. The agency, which lost $16 billion last year and expects to lose $6 billion this year, had tried but failed to end Saturday mail delivery as a cost-saving measure. The Postal Service’s financial quandary stems largely from the fact that fewer people send mail, instead using the Internet to pay bills, send letters or birthday greetings. Adding to its troubles is a 2006 congressional requirement that it make advance payments to cover expected health care costs for future retirees.

The agency has been building up a “flexible workforce” for the past 18 months, so right now it doesn’t need to hire additional carriers to work on Sunday,” said Sue Brennan, a spokeswoman for the Postal Service. If and when this service expands, “we’ll make (the) decision if necessary,” she added in an email.

Sunday delivery isn’t an entirely new territory for the USPS. Priority Mail Express, its fastest service, offers Sunday and holiday delivery for a small fee.

LACONIA — Police are investigating a truck fire that occurred Sunday night behind a Bay Street business.

Police said the fire involved a pickup belonging to one of the owners of an commercial condominium at 60 Bay Street.

Police said a resident said they saw someone dressed in dark clothing running away from the area toward Fair Street just before the fire. A Gilford K-9 tracked a scent for some distance without locating any suspect.

Laconia Fire Lt. Chad Vaillancourt said firefighters responded to a report of smoke and a fire smell in the area of Fair and Court Streets and traced the source to a burning truck.

Vaillancourt said the truck was “completely involved” when firefighters arrived.

A man who did not wish to be identified who lives in the area said he returned to his home around 10:30 p.m. and saw multiple firetrucks and police cars. He said he saw a pickup truck that was on fire, adding it was between two other vehicles.

He said he has since learned the vehicles on either side of it were also damaged in the blaze although the pickup that burned had been removed by officials.

The man said he sees lots of “kids” walking along the railroad tracks that are adjacent to the business lot and that they often make trouble for some of the homeless people who camp in the area.

This is the latest in a series suspicious fires that have been set in the downtown area and most of them have been near the railroad tracks.

The most serious blaze was Sept. 22 and it destroyed the commercial building on the corner of Fair and Court Streets. Six businesses, including Little Caesar’s Pizza, an electrical supply company and the LRGHealthcare laundry facilities lost their places of business and their supplies.

That same morning, police also investigated a smaller fire on Bay Street that appeared to have

been set but burned itself out.

Since then, there have been two fires on the back deck of Pitman’s Freight Room on New Salem Street and several suspicious dumpster fires — some of which were on the same nights as the Pitman’s Freight Room fires.

Last week, Belmont Fire Chief Dave Parenti confirmed there was a dumpster fire along Route 3 that was very close to the Laconia line (at a building on the same property as the Belknap Mall) and close to the railroad tracks. Parenti said the blaze destroyed everything in the dumpster and firefighters couldn’t determine if it was set or not.

He said he had made surrounding community fire chiefs and police chiefs aware of the fire.

Anyone with any information about Sunday’s truck fire is asked to call the Laconia Police Department at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717 for those who wish to remain anonymous.

Meredith commander tells Veterans Day gathering Legion needs new members to survive

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Griggs-Wyatt American Legion Post Commander Bob Kennelly told those attending a Veterans Day ceremony here yesterday that the the Post needs more members in order to survive. ‘’We won’t have a viable legion post unless more people join. We’re losing our World War II and Korean War veterans and starting to lose some who served in Vietnam. We want to make sure it survives as a viable organization and need people who have ties to the service to step up and join us,’’ said Kennelly, who said that there are support organizations like the auxiliary and the Sons of the American Legion are open to non-veterans. ‘’It’s always been our tradition to come together to take care of our veterans and we need a strong Legion Post in order to do that.’’ said Kennelly.

A Korean War veteran, Kennelly turned the microphone over to another Korean War veteran, Master Sgt. Elliott Finn, who gave a history of Veterans Day, pointing out that it was originally known as Armistice Day and first celebrated in 1926 to mark the end of World War I, which was concluded with an armistice at 11 a.m. on November 11 in 1918.

It was designated as a day to honor all veterans in 1954 according to Finn, who said that the purposes of Veterans Day and Memorial Day are often confused.

He said that Memorial Day honors military personnel who died in service to their country. Veterans Day thanks all men and women who have served honorably in the military during times of war and peace.

He said that American leaders have known throughout the nation’s history how important it is to honor veterans and quoted General George Washington, the first American president , who said “The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive veterans of early wars were treated and appreciated by our

nation.”

Following the traditional Veterans Day ceremony in front of the library, the Legion Color Guard and those taking part in the ceremony walked to the site of the POW-MIA Memorial at Hesky Park, where they were greeted by Bob Jones, one of those who helped found the weekly POW-MIA vigil which marked its 25th year in August.

Jones said that the Meredith site, which is the state’s original POW-MIA memorial is the best site in the state to observe Veterans Day, along with the N.H. Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen and the N.H.

Soldiers Home in Tilton.

He introduced Karen Thurston of Gilford, head of the Blue Star Mothers of New Hampshire, who revived the statewide organization, which provides support and recognition for the mothers of members of the armed forces, in 2004 when her son was deployed overseas.

She said the organization now has 137 members and last year helped lay 1,000 wreaths at the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery last year. It will take part in the Wreaths for Boscawen event on Dec. 14 of this year.

Best case, worst case & most likely case . . .

It has become fairly well known that President Obama’s administration has the fewest advisors with business experience of any president in memory. Currently, only 8 percent of his advisors have a background in business, as compared to around 50 percent for most of his predecessors; Democrat or Republican. Why is this important? To explain why, we need to distinguish between running a business and running a government program.

In business, the job of the entire management staff, from the president of the company right on down to the first level of supervision, is to “prevent things from happening that you don’t want to happen”. For example, when a business, or a department within a business, develops its business plan, it will identify the aim or goal of each project. The manager will define what will be considered a success. The manager and his or her staff then set forth a number of assumptions, things they believe will happen if their efforts are successful.

However, they don’t stop there. They then put a value on each of those assumptions and assess the impact if one or many or all fail to take effect as planned. In this process, the group usually is able to prioritize the achievability of each assumption.

They can generally tell which are certain to complete successfully, which have at least a 50 percent chance of being on target, and which ones have lower odds of success and will require that extra effort to achieve.

As the staff develops the assumptions, it also identifies what the benefit from each will mean to the overall plan. For example, a sales plan might well include how much new revenue will result if that assumption comes to pass. A manufacturing benefit might be an increase in productivity, getting the same or more product output with less resources. The result of the planning process is that management can assess the resource and other costs necessary to achieve the “best case”, “worst case”, and “most likely” scenarios. Is the benefit to be achieved worth the cost necessary for that achievement.

The rigor in the planning process allows the staff to develop three looks at what might happen. The “best case” of those looks is that all assumptions will be met and the highest level of achievement will be attained. The “worst case” will result if many of the assumptions, especially the most critical ones, are not met. And, the third is the “most likely” plan, the one that has weighed the assumptions most likely to come to fruition and the benefits to be derived. Management may view the plan and see that the cost of achieving the best case scenarios is unacceptable because the

difference/margin between what is achieved and what it cost for that achievement is simply too small to take the risk.

Why go through that rigorous effort and then not take on that project? Because management is charged with preventing things from happening that you don’t want to happen and the first thing a business does not want to happen is to not make a profit. And that’s the difference between business and government.

There are a number of government departments, bureaucracies, that have never achieved the goals for which they were established. If they were a business, they would have been shown to not have reached their primary goal, that is, to spend less to achieve the results than the benefits derived from what they achieved.

What we find in government is that failure to achieve often means a department getting even more funds, but the people who provided those funds still not getting the achievement or benefits that were to be expected. What is of even more concern is that the departments, such as Energy and Education have never achieved their goals but have ever increasingly been rewarded with a greater level of taxpayer funding with which they have built an even larger bureaucracy. And we’ve all seen television reports of those underachieving departments spending enormous sums of money on “team building” niceties; learning line dancing, making a “Patton” movie spoof, and so on.

The latest case of government failure has been the attempt at implementation of the Affordable Care Act, aka “Obamacare”. The results are inexcusable. No businesses would have so heavily advertised for people to contact them in order to sell them a product, without having had the call center and computer systems pretested for volume and content many times as the system development progressed. Prior to cut-over, management would have been assured that every aspect worked properly. Businesses don’t want to spend huge sums of money to get customers to contact them, and then not be prepared to professionally process the customer request. Companies that have failed to meet that test, are probably no longer in business.

In the case of the Affordable Care Act cut-over, it appears that there was some last minute system testing, and the systems failed miserably. That didn’t stop the President or HHS from going forward as, it appears, the customer’s (you and me) inconvenience or anxiety doesn’t matter . . . just send more tax dollars so they can continue to make the bureaucracy bigger.

LETTERS Gilford selectmen handling issue responsibly; give them time To The Daily Sun, The Laconia Daily Sun has run at least two recent news stories assessing the costs to the Town of Gilford and it would seem attempting to get more specific details on what the basis is for two Gilford police officers to have been placed on administrative leave. While it is probably the job of a newspaper to pursue these lines of inquiry, some of the taxpayers who elect our selectmen to properly investigate and deal with these kinds of issues feel that they have acted most responsibly and probably in the long term, specifically in the taxpayer’s interests in this particular, still unknown matter. The selectmen of Gilford are not just new on the job.

They in fact have the previous experience in dealing with matters relating to our town employees and whether there have been instances of violations in social responsibility in the work place.

In the past we have had our assistant town administrator acting at that time as temporary administrator from our service untimely ripped and perhaps “poached” by the county commissioners. There was no interruption in the town’s heartbeat in that case and another capable town employee stepped in for the weeks it took to find and hire another town administrator, who has so far served very capably and it would seem in tune with the selectmen’s general views and objectives.

The town also replaced the town’s recreational director a few years ago as well and he has also proved to be a very capable fellow. The town has lost several others to recent retirements including a superintendent of schools, a couple principals, and now a DPW Chief. The town continues to demonstrate the ability to attract and keep excellent talent as replacements.

In the past the town has found that it can cost the taxpayers money if someone on our payroll ends up needing removal from a position for having been found not to be working in accordance with the directives and preferences of the duly-elected selectmen or the standards of a job description. We currently find in Nashua a news story that one of the state’s leading political journalists — Political Director James Pindell of WMUR news — has termed in one of

mayor and the police chief there seem to be at odds as to whether one, the other or both have acted inappropriately in PUBLIC remarks they have made. In one case some remarks about a collective bargaining agreement and then another as to questioning a persons character and motivations. Our selectmen are also meeting of late in private sessions, not just to discuss the Police Department issues but also to discuss a pending collective bargaining agreement. It is hardly expected that collective bargaining in GOOD FAITH can be conducted in the newspapers and other news media.

Our elected selectmen go to great pains as do their respective department chiefs to find and hire the best talent they can get to serve our town.

You cannot hire such a person and then suddenly decide they are not what they were when you hired them.

You do not readily admit to mistakes in personnel decisions as generally if an employee is found deficient you are first inclined to try and work with that employee and get them on the straighter course and apply some positive motivational schemes. In any case, if an employee is not amendable to a positive change they may need to be disciplined or let go. Most of our taxpayers are not amenable with this, what might be dirty laundry, being turned into salacious grist for the news media to get scoops on or sell papers and advertising with. It is our town’s experience and that of our selectmen that such may cause actual damage beyond what is reasonable to an employee and end with the town having additional expenses to the taxpayers for what may end up as valid enhancements to a severance package. Maybe The Sun could get us more up to speed on the “Public Soap Opera” in Nashua and leave our Gilford selectman to continue in private sessions to sort out these issues.

There is an agenda schedule posted at each meeting and the Selectmen are in fact making it clear in those agendas that they are working quite diligently on sorting out these issues to EVERYONE’S best interest. They are in this case doing exactly what we have elected them to do.

LETTERS None of the suggestions made my ad hoc committee are viable

Information isn’t ‘factual’ just because you read it on the Internet

To The Daily Sun, In a recent letter to the editor of The Sun, I learned that Bob Greemore, Mike Sylvia and Dick Burchell, Dave DeVoy and George Hurt were meeting “in an effort to catalog possible solutions to the issues surrounding the county jail.” Of the five people mentioned, only Bob Greemore has ever even attended a county jail planning meeting. Only Dave DeVoy has ever attended a County Commission meeting, and that was only when he was running for commissioner. With that in mind, I question exactly what makes these five “knowledgeable about the jail.” Touring the jail is quite different than understanding how the jail operates and what factors must be considered when discussing repairs to or the replacement of the jail.

Apparently, we can all agree that there are serious problems with the current jail. This includes the need to ease overcrowding, continue to provide beneficial programs, and deal with the deficiencies in the existing facility, including the mechanical systems. This agreement should ordinarily form the basis for a reasonable discussion about how to best craft a responsible, long-term and economically viable solution to our criminal justice system in Belknap County. Instead of having a reasonable discussion, however, these five men choose to announce their intentions and make their proposals in a letter to the editor. Their approach does nothing to advance dialog, but it does avoid the necessity of supporting their position with facts, or answering critical questions that may legitimately arise in a discussion.

This suggests that their actions are merely political, and not directed at resolving the problems we face.

The County Commission, county administrators, sheriff, corrections department and our consultants, health professionals, concerned citizens, the county attorney, restorative justice department, defense bar, judges and a host of others have been working on our criminal justice issues, including the jail and house of corrections, for over four years. We have developed a wealth of information, data and input that we are happy to discuss and share. I once again invite anyone who is interested to come and participate. As always, I include the members of our delegation in this invitation.

I must comment on the allegation that I have not fulfilled my obligation to inspect the jail and report to the Attorney General’s office. Had anyone asked me personally, I would have said that as far as the inspections taking place is concerned, I abso-

To The Daily Sun, Recently in this forum, we were greeted with another of Earle’s fairy tales — not to be confused with a Grimm’s Fairy Tales. In this most recent episode, Earle defends his birther friends by claiming President Obama “used fraud to get into the colleges he attended by claiming to be a foreign student.” We can be assured that this information is factual because Earle relied on a conservative blog/e-mail he received from “reliable sources.”

Being the skeptic that I am, especially as it relates to Earle, I researched his most recent allegations. It appears this particular lie was initiated based on comments made by Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett, when speaking to a group of local Republicans, he stated that the president MAY have told college admissions officers that he had been born in Kenya in order to receive special perks. Bennett later said that his comments were being “misconstrued” and he was “hinging” his statement on the word “IF.” Of course, this misinformation is all the birthers needed to create a lie and cast doubt.

Unlike Earle, I’m reluctant to believe these reports without proof, and once again, unlike Earle, I hesi-

lutely have. I have inspected the jail, taken people on tours of the jail and have visited the jail regularly, and certainly more than required by NH RSA 30-B:12. Letters regarding the annual visits have not always been filed.

This has been corrected. If anyone wants to discuss this further, call or come to a meeting. I’m happy to discuss it or answer any questions you may have.

As for the specific recommendations of this ad hoc committee, I believe that the authors know that none of their suggestions are really viable. There is no analysis of the staffing requirements, classification restrictions, transportation, food, medical, laundry or other required services that impact the housing of inmates. I’m sure also that at least Rep. Greemore and Mr. DeVoy are aware of the reasons why use of the state school property is not an available option and I’m sure that they are aware of the position that the people of Laconia have taken about the use of that property for housing prisoners. To say that we have not given serious thought or consideration to alternatives is simply not accurate. That process is a major part of our jail planning process. Likewise, we have asked citizens as well as representatives to participate in the process. We consider taxpayers, and “John Q. Public” to be stakeholders: our current committee includes members of the public and we invite and welcome the participation of anyone interested in moving this process forward and engaging in the process with an open mind.

There is nothing new in the “options” in this letter to the editor, and having ad hoc meetings out of the public eye to discuss such an important issue does nothing to advance the ball. If these five people really want to be part of the solution, they should come forward and add their voices to the already ongoing discussion.

Perhaps they don’t feel that they can be persuasive, or perhaps they are afraid of being persuaded. I don’t know which it is because they only seem to speak in letters to the editor. That is not my chosen method of communication when doing the county’s business, and I don’t think it is the appropriate forum.

The jail planning committee will next met on November 19 at the county complex. Please feel free to attend, voice your opinions or concerns, and we will be happy to answer any of your questions.

Ask your representatives to support expanding Medicaid in N.H. To The Daily Sun, The N.H. Legislature is meeting this week in Special Session to consider alternative plans by which the state could expand its Medicaid program. This is a critical conversation.

Since the Affordable Care Act anticipated the expansion of Medicaid in all states, the failure to do so impacts one portion of the population very significantly.

Without expansion of N.H.’s Medicaid program, individuals with incomes below 100 percent of the federal poverty level will not have access to health insurance. In N.H., that means about 37,000 individuals with

incomes of less than $11,000 annually.

This is the very population that stands to benefit the most from Medicaid’s benefits. Without expansion, these individuals will continue to rely on the emergency rooms for health care and will, because of cost, avoid preventative measures that could prevent more serious medical conditions.

Please contact your Belknap County state representatives and senators and urge them to support a Medicaid expansion solution that includes the most vulnerable and needy citizens in our state!

tate to rely on the accuracy of others.

“Nuf said.”

Over the years, contributors have provided Earle with numerous Fox News lies, but for the sake of brevity I will limit mine to one, and the most obvious — their slogan, “Fair and Balanced.” Fox only became “Fair and Balanced” when the Supreme Court in Florida said it was perfectly legal for them to misinform and lie to the public. Never trust a network that continually tries to convince you how “Fair and Balanced” they are.

It’s unfortunate that once again I have to respond to Meade’s letter, in which he responds with a filtered version of what he thinks I said, and manufactures a version of what he says I wrote. I never offered an apology to Mr. Jones, as Meade suggests, because I didn’t feel an apology was warranted. That having been said, it is disheartening to me the way Meade has used Mr. Jones in his petty attacks to my credibility, motives, and my character. An apology, to Mr. Jones, is in order for the crass way in which Meade has manipulated reality and tried to legitimize his gross misrepresentations of facts.

‘Unaffiliated’ parents need to get involved in ACS strategic planning To The Daily Sun, I am writing this as an Alton Central School parent in the hope of making sure that the other ACS parents are aware that there is an ACS Strategic Planning initiative underway. At an August 8, 2013, Alton Central School Board “workshop”, much of the mid-term plans for ACS, including any renovations to the school buildings, was delegated to the created “strategic planning committee”. They also voted to hire an external meeting facilitator, from another town, for a few thousand dollars. This planning committee was to consist of around 24 members consisting of: teachers, staff, administration, parents, community officials and community officers. At the workshop there was even a commitment of sorts that the first two meetings of this committee, with at least 24 members, would take place before September 2013. That, for reasons never disclosed, happened.

I, having attended the entire August workshop, volunteered to be on the committee. The first two meetings of this committee took place on Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. As far as I can see, I was the only unaffiliated parent on the committee. I have yet to be able to obtain a list of all those who actually attended the

meetings. Yes, from what I could see there were four other parents, but they all work for the school. I could be wrong, but a parent who is on the ACS payroll is likely to have different priorities and concerns than parents who are strictly parents. Plus, with every single member of the ACS administration and a school board member present, I am sure that they have to be very circumspect in what they say and do as committee members.

It just doesn’t seem right that there is only one unaffiliated parent on the committee — when ironically the #1 objective discussed at the meetings seem to be “improving school-community relations”!

There is another meeting scheduled for Nov. 20. The timings of these meetings is not conducive for most parents.

My husband and I addressed this, obviously unsuccessfully, at the workshop and tried to get them scheduled for hours that would work better for most parents.

I urge all ACS parents to make an effort to somehow get involved in this committee. What gets decided by this committee will get used in early 2014 when issues such as building renovation comes up. So please take this as a heads-up.

LETTERS We don’t need to be salting roads on days like this past Sunday To The Daily Sun, I wish someone in charge of the State Highway Department would start making good decisions when it comes to winter road maintenance.

We just got our first snow, a very wet, slushy 1-2 inches on Sunday, and plow trucks were out plowing and salting everywhere. I watched at least a dozen trucks from Holderness to Thornton plowing nothing but bare, wet pavement, and salting roads all over. I can understand plowing Interstate 93, etc., but every road? It’s ridiculous!

It appears many district foreman do not use any common sense this time of the year. First of all, the ground isn’t even close to being frozen. Secondly, the forecast (readily available anywhere) calls for temps in the low 40s.

On days like this, this time of the year, mother nature can work faster than

plows and salt. I saw people’s lawns melting just as fast as the roads, the only snow left at the day’s end were the tiny snow banks the plows made (if any). What a waste of time, material, and tax dollars. What ever happened to letting people actually learn how to drive in winter? Give drivers some responsibility. There are only a few ding dongs that drive like idiots, they shouldn’t be out or if they go off the road, it’s their fault. A lot of times, the salt just makes a bigger mess.

It’s no wonder why the state is always going over budget on winter highway maintenance. The guys behind the wheel are only doing what they are told, it’s the people telling them what to do that are making the bad decisions. What a waste of money.

How soon the right wingers forget lies of Bush administration To The Daily Sun, The letters to the editor lately have been disturbing to read. I have known for a long time that those here in the Lakes Region just plain hate our president, mainly because they know the GOP is sinking like a rock or lower than whale waste. I can hardly wait to see the list of losers that line up to run against Mrs. Clinton. I hope the Obama haters have nightmares every night thinking of Cruz (born in Canada), Cristie (more baggage than a freight train) Paul (OMG) and so on.

The right wingers continue to call

the president a liar, how soon they forget the lies of the Bush administration. I will remember forever that Bush lied — thousands dead and wounded and so soon FORGOTTEN. I was pleased to read today that help is on the way for those suffering with a form of mental illness. A addition is being planned at a local hospital for mental patients, so have faith right wingers ,you will be able to get insurance for pre-existing conditions.

After repairing damage caused by 2nd fire, Pitman’s ready to reopen on Thurs.

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room, a live entertainment venue that has apparently been targeted on two separate occasions by a firebug, will reopen this weekend with live shows scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

Owner Dick Mitchell said yesterday that he replaced about 30-feet of wall on the outside of the building on New Salem Street and 15-feet of wall on the inside. He said they heating and air conditioning system were replaced as well.

“It’s a real pain in the butt,” Mitchell said yesterday referring to the fires.

“It’s like someone standing on your fingers when you’re trying to get up.”

He said he can’t be angry at the person or people who have set the fires because he doesn’t know who they are.

“Both of our fires were set the same night as the dumpsters at (nearby) Hector’s (restaurant),” he said.

“I just wished they’d go away or get caught,” he said, noting that security cameras and new smoke alarms have

been installed and are working.

There have been two suspicious fires at Pitman’s and both appear to have been set it the exact same place.

The first was September 28 and the second was on October 30. These are two of some recent suspicious fires in the same area since September 22 when a three-alarm blaze gutted an industrial complex on the corner of Fair and Court Streets.

Firefighters were able to extinguish both of them and both of them caused most of the damage to the exterior of the building.

He said autumn is one of the best times of year for the Freight Room. He said the winter keeps people inside and in the summer, people often go to the Weirs, so the fall and spring are some of their busiest times.

Mitchell said there is a real desire and need for a live entertainment venue in downtown Laconia like Pitman’s, which also serves as an occasional incubator for local talent looking for exposure.

“I know it’s not a new idea, but it’s one we like for downtown Laconia,” he said.

GILFORD — After a four-hour armed standoff, law enforcement officials were able to convince an armed Cherry Valley Road man to give his handgun to police and be taken to the hospital for an evaluation.

Police said the incident began Saturday at 11:25 p.m. when the man called Gilford Police and told them he was suicidal.

Local police, along with members of the Belknap County Special Operations Group, responded while troopers from the New Hampshire State Police closed Cherry Valley Road.

The standoff took place in the Cherry Valley Condominiums at 663 Cherry Valley Road. Sgt. Christopher Jacques said the police had a plan for

evacuating some of the surrounding units but police were able to make contact with him via telephone so there was no evacuation.

“It was a combination of physical entry and speaking with the individual,” Jacques said, describing how police took the man into custody.

Jacques said there was a child in the apartment with the distressed man. He said the child was older than six but was still young enough to be considered a child. The child was uninjured.

At 3:30 a.m. the man allowed an officer into the apartment and he was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for evaluation. Jacques said no criminal charges had been filed.

GALE from page one presentation to the Shaker Regional School Board, members Ken Knowlton and Pret Tuthill had suggested some kind of long-term lease from the school of the corner lot to the library should the committee’s recommendation be accepted.

Gale School Committee member Diane Marden said last week she was disappointed with the Belmont Library Trustees decision.

She said “Plan B” is to go to the Belmont Board of Selectmen.

With plans to eventually move town offices into the Belmont Mill, members of Save the Gale School Committee have said that the town may need some space in the future for the senior center, a day care and other non-profit activities and the Gale School could be suitable for some of those needs.

She said committee members are also researching different options and grants for preserving the Gale School but reiterated that she thought its use as a public library would have been a “perfect fit.”

The Save the Gale School Committee has also commissioned a report from an

architect who noted that aside from the foundation, the circa 1894 building is in very good condition.

“The wood walls and posts supporting the floor and roof framing are plumb or very near plumb and do not show any visible signs of structural overstress or movement,” wrote Alex Azodi of Omega Structural Engineers.

The N.H. Division of Historical Resources weighed in in August of 2013 that the school is architecturally and historically significant.

Discussions surrounding the potential restoration, relocation, and reuse of the school have occurred on and off for at least the past 10 years. The building belongs to the Shaker District but its historical significance is centered around the town of Belmont.

According to previous news reports, the Gale School was used by the school district until the 1970s when it was converted to unheated storage.

Depending on who is asked, estimates to demolish the building could run between $40,000 and $100,000.

CLUB from page one funds to complete the purchase and undertake the renovation of the property. Police Chief Chris Adams, president of the board of directors, said that the campaign aims to raise $2.4-million, a third of which is already in hand.

Al Posnack, who preceded Adams as president and chairs the capital campaign, said that the board is obviously very pleased to receive the grant, which lends momentum to its fundraising effort.

In March, the Vestry of the church accepted the club’s offer to purchase the land and buildings for a reported price of $700,000. The property provides 14,000-square-feet of space between the ground floor and halfbasement and sits on a 1.3-acre lot.

When the club moved into what executive director Cheryl Avery called “our forever home” in June, it marked the end of an odyssey that took the club to four different locations since it began in 1999.

At what Avery has described as “an ideal location” the club, is not only a from preceding page tee, the School Board has discussed the school once this year.

The building houses a fully equipped kitchen and provides sufficient space for a gymnasium as well as expanded programming for elementary and middle school students and dedicated space for teens. With minimal alterations the building can be remodeled and reconfigured to include a cafe, game room, computer room and teen center. The property includes an extensive parking area and a playground alongside the church.

Budget Committee endorses Gilford Fire Department plan as proposed

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

Laconia Putnam Fund presents

Blues Friday

GILFORD — In a nearly 180-degree turnaround from last year’s discussions, the Budget Committee last week endorsed without much comment the recommended Fire Department budget for 2014 of $1,682,083.

The total proposed budget is $21,491 or 1.3 percent higher than last year, most of which is reflected by a 3-percent raise for staff and the replacement of some protective clothing for firefighters that Chief Steve Carrier said is replaced every seven years.

The operations portion of the proposed 2014 budget is down about 3.3 percent or $6,300. Carrier said he had reconfigured his call roster to try and keep overtime down. Overtime represents about 16 percent of the wage line.

Carrier said he didn’t anticipate any major equipment purchases except the purchase of a new ambulance that is part of the town’s overall Capital Improvement Program budget and will appear as a separate warrant article. The ambulance is expected to cost $205,000 — all of which will come from the ambulance revenue account except $59,000 that is in an old capital reserve ambulance account.

He is also asking for a “rehab” of Engine 2. Carrier said he wanted to stay away from the work “refurbishment” because the “rehab” is not a complete overhaul but is painting the truck, adding an updated light bar, and possibly replacing the radiator.

Carrier noted the Engine 4 — the subject of so much controversy during

last year’s budget-building cycle — is operating well and can be used as the first attack engine for the month that Engine 2 is being rehabilitated.

The Budget Committee also recommended about $50,000 worth of work on the Fire Station. The request includes the second floor carpet, window replacements, and the complete replacement of the three bay doors on the ground level behind the station that were used by the Public Works Department when it was located there.

Carrier said efforts in the past to replace individual panels on the bay doors have been expensive and he’s not sure if any replacement panels are still available.

He said that along with the new roof, he hopes the repairs will be more energy efficient.

The Budget Committee also approved without any comment a Police Department budget that includes the addition of an 18th officer. The total recommended amount is $2,434,959.

Selectman Gus Benavides said the last police officer position added to the ranks was in 2003, when the department added a School Resource Officer.

In order to allay any confusion, Benavides, who is the selectman’s representative to the committee, reminded the Budget Committee that two years ago selectmen had recommended reducing the number of officers from 17 to 16 but the Budget Committee had overruled them and added back the money for the position.

Man wanted for attempted murder at Salem motel SALEM (AP) — Salem police are searching for a 30-year-old man they say tried to kill a woman.

Police responded to a domestic disturbance Saturday evening at a motel where they found the woman with severe head injuries. She told them that Walton Valentin of Methuen, Mass., had jumped into her car in Lawrence, Mass., held a gun to her stomach and threatened to kill her family.

At the motel, she says Valentin

pointed the gun at her and pulled the trigger but the gun jammed. She says he choked her and hit her repeatedly in the head with the gun before stealing her minivan.

Police recovered the van in Andover, Mass. They say Valentin should be considered armed and dangerous.

He faces charges including attempted second-degree murder, kidnapping, assault and others.

IRAN from page 2 Iran’s foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif, countered by criticizing Kerry’s remarks, telling an Iranian TV talk show that the American’s “conflicting statements” damaged confidence in the process, adding that “considerable progress was made” in Geneva.

The flurry of announcements and comments showed both the complexities and urgency in trying to move ahead on an accord between Iran and world powers after the talks in Geneva failed to produce a deal.

With negotiators set to resume next week, Iranian officials promoted a separate pact reached with the U.N. nuclear chief Yukiya Amano as a “roadmap” for greater cooperation and transparency, which could move the talks ahead. But the plans do not mention some of the sites most sought by U.N. teams to probe suspicions of nuclear-related work, notably VET DAY from page one and Marine Corps, bracketed by “Johnny Comes Marching Home” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”

In his keynote address, Seymour paid tribute to three veterans who recently passed away.

— A veteran of both the Korean War and the Vietnam War and former Commander, Trustee and Chaplain of the American Legion, Wilkins Smith Post 1, Leo “Joe” Couture, served in the Army for 22 years before retiring as Sergeant First Class.

— Harry Bryant, who served in the Pacific Theater during World War II, spent 35 years in the Army and reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, owned and operated Head’s Electric until 1998.

— Known for his marksmanship, Bob Kingsbury fought with the 8th Army under the command of General George Patton in World War II, reenlisted during the Korean War and retired as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1979 with a Purple Heart.

Seymour said that although many will not serve in the armed forces, all have much to learn from those who do. “The qualities we learn from our veterans — honor, duty, courage, sacrifice — are characteristics that make us better individuals,” he said. “Their everyday conduct inspires us to reach beyond our own limits.”

Veterans, Seymour remarked in closing, should be honored 365 days a year. “When you see a veteran or active serviceman,” he said, “take the time to walk up to them, shake their hand and say thank you. It’s the least we can do.”

the Parchin military facility outside Tehran.

“It’s an important step forward, but by no means the end of the process,” Amano told The Associated Press in Tehran. “There is still much work to be done.”

Western leaders, meanwhile, were keen to display a unified front after reports that France had broken ranks in Geneva and demanded more concessions from Iran on enrichment levels and an underconstruction heavy water reactor that produced a greater amount of plutonium byproduct, which could be used in eventual weapons production. Kerry said it was Iran that put the brakes on reaching a firstphase agreement, but gave no details on the Iranian concerns and suggested it was only a matter of time before a formula is found.

“There was unity but Iran couldn’t take it,” Kerry said during a stop in Abu Dhabi. He added: “The French signed off on it, we signed off on it.”

Three Signs Negative Self-Talk Affects You 3-dimensional therapy helps families break free

There is nothing stronger than the parent-child connection, and as a mother, my children’s wellbeing is paramount.

These mothers found a new therapy to assist their children and I too have found it a dream come true.

Kathy, an Alaskan mom, found a breakthrough for her daughter Elise with 3-dimensional (T3) therapy last spring. She says, “The day after our session, my daughter had an amazing rehearsal for a play she was in. It really caught me by surprise. The director approached me and said, ‘Wow, something just clicked for Elise. She Peg Sutherland was the star performer.’ I had only received complaints about ‘attitude’ before then. I am pleased my daughter, who was previously prone to total meltdowns, can now stay calm and chose her words wisely!

It’s truly mind blowing.” Kathy also used T3 to free her own writer’s block.

Nicki, a mom from the United Kingdom, also used T3 therapy. “My 5-year-old daughter was moving schools midsemester and was a little scared about being the new girl and not knowing anyone. After T3, we were totally staggered at how confident she was on her first day at the new school. We were told she stood up in front of almost one hundred other children and told them about a drawing she had done. We were amazed!”

Your conscious mind only holds 5 to 10% while the Kathy and Elise Huston say T3 therapy subconscious holds helped them. a whopping 90 to 95% of mind space. Negative thoughts (messaging) rooted in the subconscious yield the same negative results in your life. Is this affecting you or your loved ones? Here are three questions to ask: Am I stuck?

Repeating undesirable patterns of behavior usually correlates to negative messaging in the subconscious mind. One way to understand negative messaging is to journal. Write yourself a letter about why you are stuck. This helps the subconscious mind communicate to the conscious mind.

Am I in chronic pain?

One of the best ways our body gets our attention is pain.

To find out what is out of balance in your subconscious, look to see what is in pain. Keep a log about when your body hurts most and what events surround the flare-up.

Do I feel thwarted?

Do you live your life thinking things will always be a certain way? Do you feel you cannot change? Then there is a good chance negative messaging, or a faulty core belief system, is the root cause. Obtain an objective view. Talk with a certified therapist or an objective friend in your life.

You can break free and experience the health, happiness and wellbeing you deserve. Ghandi said, “Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony.” Listen to your body when you feel stuck. Your mind and your body are always sending you the signs you need.

Troublesome turnovers allow Inter-LakesMoultonborough to beat Gilford, 27-14

By Tim marTin

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough Lakers have advanced to the semi-final round of the NHIAA’s Division III football tournament after beating Gilford 27-14 on the road on Saturday. The Lakers forced six turnovers to win the North Conference title and advance to the final four. Four of the six Eagle turnovers resulted in Lakers touchdowns. Two of Gilford’s drives ended fumbles inside the Lakers five yard line. “Those two turnovers on the goal line getting ready to go in to score, They are killers,” said Gilford head coach Chris Marden.

The Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough offense did not squander the opportunities their defense awarded them in the first half. Gilford’s first two drives resulted in turnovers and Lakers scores. “We worked hard all week. Defensively we had these kids under the lights from four to seven at Prescott Park just grinding it out in the dark and working on defensive schemes and it paid off,” stated Jon Francis, Lakers head coach.

The Golden Eagles first drive ended abruptly on an interception by Laker defensive back Malik Carter, who returned to Gilford’s 26 yard line. The Lakers offense ran three plays before fullback Nick Hurd bulldozed his way up the middle for a nine yard scoring run. The next Gilford drive moved down the field with ease and looked as though they had brushed off the previous turnover. Until a Gilford running back tried to punch it in from the two yard line and was stripped by Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough linebacker Derek Rossetti. The Lakers recovered the fumble and quickly increased the lead to 13 on an 81 yard run down the Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough sideline

by Devante Carter. Carter lead the Lakers attack with 125 yards on 19 carries. Gilford cut the lead to six with three minutes remaining in the half on a Max Troiano 17 yard touchdown. Troiano had 144 yards on 24 touches. see FOOTBALL next page

Repeat denied: Winniquam falls in final

By Tim marTin

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

PLYMOUTH — Winnisquam Regional High School’s volleyball team entered the night looking to win their third state title in the last four years. Nute, who fell victim to the Bears last season, had other ideas. The Nute Rams rolled over Winnisquam 3-0 in the NHIAA Division III state finals, held Friday night at Plymouth State University. Winnisquam could not slow down the relentless attack that the undefeated (20-0) Rams unleashed. Nute won all three sets easily, 25- 18, 25-17, 25-19.

“We lost to a team that outplayed us,” said Mike Livernois. “They were relentless on their attack.”

The Bears offense did not string together more than five points in a row all night. “They (Nute) got us out of our rhythm. We made some unforced errors and

they didn’t. When a team is not making errors you have to play almost perfect,” Livernois added. “It is very hard to play from behind. Once you are four or five points behind late in the game, you can not afford to make any more mistakes.”

Winnisquam played from behind beginning with the first set. The Bears tied up the first set at nine, but the Rams attackers took over, scoring nine of the next 11 points, rolling to 25-18 victory. The Rams middle hitter, Heidi Cloutier, took over and had five kills and three blocks in the first set. The senior totaled eight kills, six blocks and two aces.

The Bears led the second set 12-10 and sat tied at 16 when Nute took control and went on a 9-1 run to complete the second set 25-17.

The third set went back and forth until Nute went see VOLLEYBALL next page

Pee Wee Lakers I team knocks in 6 against Dover Stars on Sunday The Lakers Pee Wee I team, sponsored by Fay’s Boat Yard, had a great weekend of hockey. Sunday’s late afternoon game was against the Dover Stars Pee Wee team. The Lakers came out strong in the 1st period scoring just 13 seconds into the game. Trevor Gallagher put one in the back of the net from a pass from Blake Dunlap. Just about a minute later, Brendan Hanaway scored with a well-timed pass from Cole Reid. The Stars brought pressure to the Lakers end and if it wasn’t for the work of one of the Laker goalies, Jacob Maheux, they would have scored. Cole Reid again rushed the puck down the middle of the 1st period making the score 3-0, Lakers with 5 minutes to go in the 1st. The Dover Stars finally came back and put one in. Laker Trent Fountain wouldn’t let the period end without a great pass to Blake Dunlap, making a nice tip in the net. The score was 4-1, Lakers, at end of the 1st. Patrick Mohan had some great back-

checks on defense and managed to clear the puck out of the Laker zone. Likewise, tag team Camille Pollak and Nate McCarvill worked together to force the Dover Stars out of Laker Territory. Colin McGreevy took over goalkeeping duties during halftime of the 2nd period and also made some head-turning saves. As the puck was cleared from the zone, Lakers Brendan Hanaway, passing to Cole Reid got another one past the Dover goalie, making the score now 5-1. Will Roberge flew the puck up the ice and took a serious shot on net but the Stars goalie jumped on it. Carter Rumney also saw the chance to sneak one past the Dover goalie but the goalie again made the save. Trevor Gallagher popped one in off a great pass from Trent Fountain, making the final score 6-1, Lakers prevail. The team missed injured player Ed Demers and absent player Nate Cammack and looks forward to their quick return.

FOOTBALL from preceding page The Golden Eagles began the second half benefiting on the only mishap by the Lakers when quarterback Joshua Blundo tossed an interception to Kyle Gaudet, who sprinted 45 yards for a 14-13 Gil-

ford lead. Both teams traded punts before Gilford’s Jack Athanas tried to thread the needle, but paid the price when a Lakers defensive back jumped the route and went 89 yards for the final lead change of the game. Inter-Lakes punched in a one yard Nick Brothers run for some insurance late in the fourth to secure the victory.

Gilford coach Marden commented on the season: “I told the guys after the game that I couldn’t be more proud of them from where they came from last year. Coming from 1-8 last year to regular season champions. Those kids gave everything they had this year and it showed. To make such a turn around like that, it reflects upon their character. They are a great group of guys and I could not be more proud of them.”

on a nine point run to take a 22-13 lead. Winnisquam attempted a late comeback only to fall short 25-19.

“Our four seniors, Hannah Chapin, Carissa Archbald, Dallis Austin, and Bailey Long have definitely left their mark. Those four girls went 69-10 with two state titles, a runner up and a semi-finals appearance over the four years. That’s an impressive mark and they have set the bar for future teams,” Livernois said.

from preceding page Steen said McManus is very deserving of the award due to his commitment to the institution and the community.

“Dennis is someone who does extraordinary good ...who works on behalf of all of us, and we respect and admire that,” said Steen. “This is a person who has made an extraordinary difference.”

The Patricia Storer Award was established in 2008 to honor a Plymouth State employee who exemplifies dedication, knowledge and respect in serving the students, staff and faculty at Plymouth State University.

Storer was a longtime Plymouth State employee who, during her career, served in a variety of roles, including faculty member in the education department, dean of women students, associate dean of academic affairs, and registrar. McManus said he is proud to receive the award.

“I’m very honored to be the 2013 recipient of the Pat Storer Award,” McManus said.

“I think I can speak for everyone at the University when I say we don’t do things in order to get recognized, but

it is very nice and very flattering to receive this award. Much of the credit, however, goes to my student-athletes.

Like success on the field, all accomplishments are ultimately a team effort not just the work of one person.”

Former PSU women’s basketball coach Lauren Lavigne nominated McManus for the award.

“Dennis has dedicated himself to the Plymouth State community on and off the field,” Lavigne said. “What he has meant to our department and to the countless student-athletes he has taught and coached is immense.

He’s a mentor, a leader, and proud Plymouth State alum.”

McManus has been the PSU head baseball for 30 years and is active on numerous NCAA and ECAC Selection Committees, and is past president of the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association. Over the years Dennis has conducted numerous youth baseball clinics for the community.

McManus, a Concord native and Campton resident, is married and has two children and two grandchildren.

Watts Water Technologies sees STEM education as key to rewarding & lucrative careers in advanced manufacturing Viewing footage of a pressurized water heater rocketing through the floors and roof of a home and blasting high into the sky, one may be inclined to write off the event as a movie-set stunt. But the risk and the danger are real.

An exploding 30-gallon water heater has the force of about one pound of dynamite and has the power to destroy a house and injure or kill those inside, according to Michael Mullavey, design engineer at Watts Water Technologies. Intrigued by this possibility, the stars of the popular Discovery Channel show “Mythbusters” demonstrated this force in 2007 when they set up an experiment that culminated in a mighty “kaboom” as their water heater was launched high overhead.

Thankfully, companies like Watts Water Technologies, with a facility located in Franklin, have the technology to prevent such explosions. Since 1874, the Watts Water Technologies family of companies has designed and manufactured valves and related products that promote the comfort and safety of people and the quality, conservation and control of water used in commercial, residential, industrial and municipal applications.

Watts relocated manufacturing operations from Lawrence, Mass., to Franklin in 1959. The Franklin campus has since expanded to include two foundries and a distribution center, in addition to the original Webster Valve factory.

Watts Water Technologies has worked with Lakes Region Community College to address today’s industry needs and promote the rewarding careers available to students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs.

Here, Mullavey talks about Watts’ products, its future and the exciting career opportunities available in the advanced manufacturing industry.

Q: Describe a product you manufacture and the effect it has on consumers’ lives.

A: The largest volume product line at the Franklin facility is the Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Safety Relief Valve, for which Watts first obtained the patent in 1931.

Thankfully, equipment failure and explosions have been significantly reduced because T&P relief valves are now being used worldwide to protect water heaters. T&P relief valves, when installed and maintained properly, prevent high water temperatures which can cause flashing of hot steam at outlets, or cause an explosion. They also prevent the buildup of high pressure, which can damage the water heater, piping or system

components.

Q: What does the future have in store for the Watts workforce?

A: The Franklin campus currently employs more than 520 people in foundry, machining, assembly, distribution, professional and related careers.

Watts is constantly evolving through pursuits in lean manufacturing in order to remain competitive in this industry. This constant and innovative change requires skilled and creative people.

Q: How have you partnered with Lakes Region Community College to help build the workforce?

A: Watts has partnered with Franklin High School and the Huot Center in Laconia to steer prospective students towards a STEM career pathway. We continue to work with these students and adults alike, and strongly urge them to continue their education in the available LRCC certificate and degree programs related to STEM and advanced manufacturing. This education is critical to their success in quality, engineering, pattern making, tool and die, and CNC machining careers.

This skilled workforce is also critical to the success of the Watts flagship Franklin facility.

Q: Who should choose a career in advanced manufacturing in New Hampshire?

A: Part of promoting the rewarding careers available in advanced manufacturing is to correct the common misbelief that manufacturing means working in old, dark, dirty and unsafe factories.

Today’s factories are clean, safe, modernized and computerized, and demand a skilled workforce.

Anyone with a creative and/or analytical mindset should consider a rewarding and lucrative advanced manufacturing career (and keep in mind: math, math, and then some more math).

Don’t be afraid to fail.

To learn about advanced manufacturing training and academic programs at Lakes Region Community College, email TAACCCT project coordinator Don Brough at dbrough@ccsnh.edu. To learn more about AMPed NH training and education programs at all seven of NH’s community colleges, email outreach coordinator Desiree Crossley at dcrossley@ccsnh.edu or visit www.ampednh. com.

The day concluded with a social hour catered by Centerplate and involving the new class, several past graduates and members of the Leadership Lakes Region Board of Directors.

“The success of today’s Orientation, which sets the tone for the year ahead, is due to the outstanding support and sponsorship that we received from Gunstock Mountain Resort and Centerplate,” said Leadership Lakes Region Program Coordinator Jennifer McLean.

Other graduates attending the social hour besides MacDonald and Hall were Dona Murray, Joyce Meisel, Kyril Mitchell, Sara Dunham, Peg Purcell, Bill Clark and Paul Charlton. Others in attendance were Alan Robichaud, representing Granite United Way, Kim Sperry, alumnus and Board of Directors for Leadership Lakes Region and Don Morrissey, Board Chairman.

The next Program Day for the new class is History and Culture Day, scheduled for November 6.

For more information about Leadership Lakes Region, please visit the website at -www.leadershiplakesregion.org from preceding page “This is a tremendous family fun-oriented event each year” said the Mayor. “I encourage Lakes Region families to come down to the Beach on Saturday, November 23 11 a.m. to either take the Plunge, cheer on those who Plunge or enjoy the post-Plunge luncheon” Seymour added.

This year’s luncheon will again feature food and drink from some of the area’s best known restaurants.

Leading that group for the ninth year in a row will be Patrick’s Pub and they will be joined by O Steak & Seafood, Fratellos, Kitchen Cravings, T-Bones/ Cactus Jack’s, Hart’s, and the new Junior’s Crush House. Beverages will be provided by Lago and Coca-Cola of Northern New England while culinary arts students and faculty from the Lakes Region Community College will handle serving the chili, chowder, soups and stews donated as well as preparing mouth-watering desserts.

Lunch is free for Plungers and open to the general public for a modest $5 donation. Every luncheon attendee will be entered into several raffle drawings for gift certificates donated by local merchants.

Carolyn, or as she was known to her family and close friends as “Big Gram” was surrounded by her husband, three children and their spouses and her grandchildren.

Carolyn was born in Lancaster, New Hampshire on November 16, 1937. She was the daughter of Franklin and Thelma (McLain) Stillings. After graduation, she worked several service provider jobs in the “North Country” of New Hampshire.

She later married Lionel W. Goupil and relocated to Laconia, New Hampshire and had three children – Jean Drouin, Cheryl Connor and Kevin Goupil.

Lionel passed away suddenly in November of 1981.

Carolyn later re-married Louis Bilodeau; the couple recently celebrated their 31st wedding anniversary.

After retirement from the Department of Health and Human Services – Child Support Division, Carolyn and Louis relocated to Loudon in 2001 to be closer to their children, family and close friends.

Carolyn also continued working part-time for service providers including the New Hampshire Association for the Blind. Carolyn and Louis both enjoyed and loved the New Hampshire outdoors activities of fishing, kayaking and bird watching. Carolyn also enjoyed knitting and crocheting – spending count-

less hours making family heirlooms for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

She is survived by her husband Louis Bilodeau, three children – Jean Drouin, Cheryl Connor and Kevin Goupil and their spouses Steve Drouin, Kevin Connor and Jessica Goupil. Two brothers – Frank Stillings and Leroy Stillings and their partner and spouse Cheryl Aubut and Margaret Stillings. Seven grandchildren – Toni Coffin, Jessica Drouin, Brett Clairmont, Cameron Clairmont, Amanda Goupil, Brandon Goupil, Ashley Clark and their partners and spouses Christopher Coffin, Mike Smith, Zachary Corliss and Lee Clark.

As well as many nieces and nephews.

What You Should Know About Baby Teeth Baby teeth (also called primary teeth) are very important to the development of our permanent teeth. They are the space holders for adult teeth and they stimulate the jaw and facial bones to grow properly.

Therefore, proper maintenance is essential. Never put your baby to bed with anything in the bottle besides water otherwise, sugars in the drink will pool around the teeth and a severe condition known as baby bottle tooth decay may occur. In order to prevent the buildup of bacteria from sugars in food, milk and formula, a soft cloth can be used to gently wipe your baby’s gums after feedings. As soon as the first teeth appear (usually around 6 – 8 months), an alternative to the cloth is to start using a baby toothbrush or a rubber “finger cot” (fits over your index finger) with no paste. Starting to clean your baby’s teeth at an early age will help to reduce bacteria and decay, and may also help to instill good oral hygiene habits.

Although cavities are especially common in children and young adults, anyone who has teeth can get cavities – including babies. In order to introduce your baby to the dental environment, the first “well baby” visit is recommended between 1 and 2 years of age. Has your baby met your dentist yet?

‘The Pleasure Men’ performed at PSU Nov. 21-24 PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music Theater and Dance at Plymouth State University will present The Pleasure Men, Thursday through Sunday, November 21-24 in the studio theater at the Silver Center for the Arts. Performances will be held at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday with 2 p.m. matinee’s on Saturday and Sunday afternoon.

The Pleasure Men is a deconstruction of Mae West’s infamous 1928 play, The Pleasure Man. The production portrays West as a character and connects the play in relevant and revealing ways to contemporary life.

In addition to rehearsals, the cast is taking a course called “Actor as Creator” where they are learning the process and theory of devising a work.

When rehearsals begin, they will have opportunities to apply the theory they learn in class.

The Pleasure Men is a physical theatre work containing original music, popular jazz music, acrobat-

ics, aerial silks, drama, improvisation, comedy and fabulous drag queens and kings.

Director Robin Marcotte explains that West’s original production was the first to “queer” Broadway by inviting drag queens from Harlem to portray themselves on the Broadway stage. Police raided the production and the entire cast, as well as Mae West, was arrested and charged with indecency. All were eventually acquitted by a jury. “This production is for mature audiences, and those who do not blush easily,” Marcotte says.

The production includes Darcy Graham, a junior theater arts major from Manchester as the stage manager and Kyle Quirion a senior music education major from Derby, Vt. as music director.

Tickets are $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and youth at the Silver Center Box Office. Tickets can be purchased by calling (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869. Tickets are also available online at silver. plymouth.edu.

from preceding page evening to celebrate the amazing story of the return of native wildlife from the brink of disaster, and the remarkably courageous people who did it. Quinn will introduce NH Audubon’s first Superstar, Manley Townsend, who will share his vision of this compelling story which covers the wanton slaughter of all wildlife, the ugliest hats you have ever seen, plus the turbulent early years in the fight to protect native animals. A sneak preview of this fun production was recently presented at the NH Audubon Annual Meeting and the critics and critters were unanimous in agreeing that

the show is a surefire hit.

Come see how our 2013 world is more like 1913 than you could ever imagine. They even had political idiocy back then. Quinn will blend humor with hard-hitting contemporary issues from now versus 100 years ago, and you will be amazed at the similarities, not to mention the similes.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

the people around you need to hear things several times before the meaning starts to sink in and they know what to do next.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Realize that some people have a different relationship with the truth than you do. Some people are married to the truth, and others consider the truth a casual friend. Don’t trust everything you hear today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some people will try to make you believe you owe them something, when you actually owe them nothing. Your attention is your own to give, and no one automatically earns it just by being obnoxious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you approach the day with your sense of whimsy in the driver’s seat, you’ll find the most creative ways to loaf around. There is truly value in this, though few will see it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 12). You feel like an everyday person doing everyday things. And yet someone sees you as a saint, someone sees you as a master, and others see you as a superstar. December brings a reckoning you’ve been waiting for. You’ll get a job because of your originality. You’ll be in charge of family functions in the spring. Virgo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 23, 7, 19, 48 and 27.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s said that history is the story of the winning person’s side. Seek the alternate history today, because you’ll learn more from the mistakes of the losing side. The first lesson likely has something to do with maintaining a good defense.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The opposite of coexistence is co-nonexistence.

People who work together will thrive together, while the fighters will perpetuate a cycle of destruction that can only end badly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll create a timeline for your specific plans. Sometimes you’ll hit goals more quickly, and other times it will take you longer. But without the timeline, the goal wouldn’t be reached at all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Doing to others as you would like done to you only works well when the “others” have tastes and preferences similar to yours. That’s why you’ll take the time to find out what someone really wants before you make a move.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you overvalue what you do and contribute, the world will likely step in to knock down the price. If you undervalue your contribution, it’s possible but far less likely that the world will step in to compensate you appropriately.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You may find yourself in an artistic conundrum. The people who urge you to “be creative” are being extremely uncreative in their suggestions.

That’s because what they really want you to do is “be marketable.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Time and effort are being invested on your behalf, and the more input you give the better. Until they know what you want, they’ll do what they imagine you would want and will probably go far off base.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The situation in your relationship gets more intense.

How will this problem be solved? The obvious solutions were tried and didn’t work.

Don’t worry. The solution is still easy; it’s just not obvious.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s not that they are not listening to you. It’s just that

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 12, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Nov. 12, the 316th day of 2013. There are 49 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 12, 1942, the World War II naval Battle of Guadalcanal began. (The Allies ended up winning a major victory over Japanese forces.)

On this date: In 1787, severe flooding struck Dublin, Ireland, as the River Liffey rose.

In 1815, American suffragist Elizabeth Cady Stanton was born in Johnstown, N.Y. In 1918, the short-lived Republic of GermanAustria was declared.

In 1927, Josef Stalin became the undisputed ruler of the Soviet Union as Leon Trotsky was expelled from the Communist Party.

In 1936, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge opened as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key in Washington, D.C., giving the green light to traffic.

In 1948, former Japanese premier Hideki Tojo and several other World War II Japanese leaders were sentenced to death by a war crimes tribunal.

In 1969, news of the My Lai Massacre in South Vietnam in March 1968 was broken by investigative reporter Seymour Hersh.

In 1977, the city of New Orleans elected its first black mayor, Ernest “Dutch” Morial, the winner of a runoff.

In 1982, Yuri V. Andropov (ahn-DROH’-pawf) was elected to succeed the late Leonid I. Brezhnev as general secretary of the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee.

In 1987, the American Medical Association issued a statement saying it was unethical for a doctor to refuse to treat someone solely because that person had AIDS or was HIV-positive.

In 1990, Japanese Emperor Akihito formally assumed the Chrysanthemum Throne. Actress Eve Arden died in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 82.

In 2001, American Airlines Flight 587, an Airbus A300 headed to the Dominican Republic, crashed after takeoff from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, killing all 260 people on board and five people on the ground.

Ten years ago: President Bush and his top foreign advisers reviewed new strategies to speed the transfer of political power in Iraq. A suicide truck bomber attacked the headquarters of Italy’s paramilitary police in Nasiriyah, Iraq, killing more than 30 people.

Five years ago: Same-sex marriages began in Connecticut, a month after the state Supreme Court ruled that gays had the right to wed. Kenny Chesney took home his fourth entertainer of the year trophy at the CMA Awards. Mitch Mitchell, the England-born drummer for the Jimi Hendrix Experience, was found dead in his hotel room in Portland, Ore.; he was 61.

One year ago: Two weeks after Superstorm Sandy, more than 70,000 customers of the Long Island Power Authority in New York were still without electricity. The utility said more than half of those in the dark had water damage to electrical panels and wiring, and their service could not be restored without an inspection and possibly repairs.

Meredith Altrusa holds Zienzele night

MEREDITH — On Tuesday, October 29, the Altrusa International Club of Meredith sponsored a “Zienzele Night.”

“Zienzele” refers to the Zienzele Foundation, an organization At left: Altrusa and Zienzele Foundation members display hand woven baskets from Zimbabwe. Pictured from left to right, Cathy Barile, Altrusa; Lisa Davis, Altrusa President; Nancy Clark, Zienzele Foundation President; Jackie Simpson, Zienzele Board Member; Linda Foster, Altrusa. (Courtesy photo)

from preceding page This was a very invasive surgery with a lengthy healing process. Gina will need to learn to walk again and it will be approximately six months before physical therapy can begin. Doctors estimate that it will be a year before she is able to return to work.

Gina has been a resident of the area most of her

life and has given tirelessly to anyone needing help.

Now is the chance for the community to give back to one who will not ask for help and instead asks how she can help others.

Any monetary gifts can be made payable to ‘’Gina Nevin Benefit Fund’’ and sent directly to Franklin Savings Bank, 387 Central Street, Franklin NH 03235.

designed to support AIDS orphans and their caregivers in Zimbabwe, Africa. The evening, which took place at the Meredith Community Center, consisted of a dinner catered by Kevin’s Cafe in Moultonborough, a presentation

by Nancy Clark, cofounder and president of the Zienzele Foundation, and the sale of beautiful baskets made

by Zimbabwean women.

The highlight of the evening was the presentation given by Nancy Clark, assisted by Zienzele Board Member, Jackie Simpson. Nancy told the story of how the organization came into being. She and Co-founder, Prisca Nemapare, a native of Zimbabwe, worked together on a maternal child health and nutrition research project, sponsored by Earthwatch in rural Zimbabwe. When Earthwatch could no longer continue its work, Nancy and Prisca decided to form an organization that would help children most in need in the area, AIDS orphans.

The Foundation’s primary goal is to help the people in the area develop self-sustaining projects that generate food, funds for basic needs, and school fees for AIDS orphans. Some of these projects include creating vegetable gardens, sewing and selling school uniforms,

and making and selling baskets. By far, the most successful project is the basket project.

Zimbabwean women make baskets of varying sizes, colors, and designs using grass and sisal. The Zienzele Foundation buys the baskets, brings them back to the United States and sells them for a profit. All proceeds go back to Zimbabwe to pay school fees for AIDS orphans. Currently this project is providing educational opportunity for 800 orphans.

Members of the Meredith Altrusa Club were so moved by the plight of the Zimbabwean people and so inspired by the work of the Zienzele Foundation to assist them that they bought many of the beautiful baskets for sale. Estimated funds from the sale were approximate $1200. Also under consideration is the adoption of a child-headed family (a family in which children take care of siblings and if necessary disabled adults). For $300 a year, this program pays for school fees, school supplies, a quarterly box of food staples, and shipments of donated clothing.

Baskets will be available for purchase by the general public at the Meredith International Altrusa Club’s Festival of Trees to be held at Waukewan Golf Club December 6-8.

AutoServ welcomes Allstate

TILTON — The next time customers visit AutoServ of Tilton, they will be able to insure their new car, home and discuss insurance protection needs with an Allstate agency owner before even driving off the lot.

AutoServ Dealerships announced, today, a relationship with Allstate Insurance Company and the Allstate Auto Dealer Program to open a full-service Allstate agency inside the AutoServ of Tilton showroom.

“We are so excited to have yet another service to offer our customers,” said Dennis Gaudet, CEO of AutoServ. “AutoServ Insurance and Financial Services will offer a full selection of insurance products including automotive, home, life and accident, as well as recreational vehicles.”

“Because our agency is on site with extended hours, we are able to provide the convenience of onestop-shopping for all of our customers’ insurance and automotive needs,” said Dennis Gaudet.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married for 32 years to a horrible man. He is self-centered, controlling, a liar and a cheat. He manipulated me into buying a house I did not want, and when my mother died in this house, he kicked me out of the room we shared and made me move into the same room she died in. He lied to me about not getting paid for a year, while pocketing $40,000 and spending it on an affair with our best friend’s daughter. He then closed our checking account.

Two years later, he bullied me into buying a business, where I worked for four years without pay. He occasionally paid me a little, but then kicked me out of the business and told me to get a “real job.”

Annie, he tore my car apart so I couldn’t drive it, and he keeps me broke all of the time. He went behind my back and put the business and home accounts in his name only. I have walked everywhere within three miles of our house looking for work, with no luck.

I have no friends because he can’t keep his hands off of them, and I’m tired of making excuses for him. If I bring it up, he calls me a liar. When I finally told him I wanted a divorce, he said he’ll keep the house and the business and there is no money to give me a share. For the past year, I’ve been trying to find a lawyer who will take my case for very little money and haven’t found one.

I’m stuck here and losing all hope of ever getting out. His lies and false accusations have made our kids mistrust me.

I am emotionally, mentally and spiritually exhausted. I cry daily and wish it could all be over. Don’t suggest counseling, because I have no money for that and can’t get there unless it’s close enough to walk. -- Miserable Forever Dear Miserable: This is an abusive marriage -- emotion-

ally and financially. You don’t need to find a counselor within walking distance. Pick up the phone, or go online and contact the Domestic Violence Abuse Hotline at 1-800-787-3224 (thehotline.org). They will help you get out of this mess of a marriage and find a fresh start. Please don’t wait.

Dear Annie: I work at a library in my hometown. An 80-year-old woman who uses the computer is always messing it up. She’s there 10 hours a week and does a lot of damage, but no one wants to hurt her feelings by telling her she’s screwing up.

This woman is also forgetful and sometimes rude. When someone offers help, she claims she doesn’t need it. When she asks for assistance, she gets irritated and says, “That’s what I was doing!” She’s making things hard for everybody, but my boss is a pushover and won’t get involved. Can we do anything? -- Frustrated in Indiana Dear Indiana: We’re not sure how she’s “messing up” the computer in such a way that it’s a major effort to put things right. Can you post a sign next to the computer with simple instructions for operation? Would the boss be willing to require a “training course” for all computer users so that she isn’t singled out? Does no one have the patience to work with her in spite of her snappish attitude? The computer confuses her, and she doesn’t want to admit her weaknesses. Be kind.

Dear Annie: Tell “Champ’s Mom” that many states have passed legislation or are considering doing so to teach cursive writing in school. Students who have not been taught cursive can neither read it nor write it. Parents are just beginning to realize that their children don’t have the skills to read their grandparents’ notes. Children want to learn cursive. Please give them the opportunity. -- Long Live Cursive
