City councilor: re-route WOW Trail to avoid South Down By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — With homeowners at the gated communities of South Down Shores and Long Bay determined to keep the WOW Trail from passing along the western shore of Paugus Bay on its way toward the Meredith town line, City Councilor Armand
Bolduc (Ward 6) has begun exploring an alternative route. As planned, the third phase of the trail begins at Van Buren Street and runs northward 2.2 miles past Pickerel Cove to Birch Haven Road, following railway along the shorefront through South Down Shores and Long Bay. The South Down Recreation
Association has accrued a legal fund from annual assessments of $100 on each of some 500 households and allied with residents of Long Bay. Chester Cilley, president of the South Down Recreation Association, said yesterday that while the association has convened a committee, which will coopsee wOw page 9

One World Trade Center named tallest U.S. building
NEW YORK (AP) — They set out to build the tallest skyscraper in the world — a giant that would rise a symbolic 1,776 feet from the ashes of ground zero. Those aspirations of global supremacy fell by the wayside long ago, but New York won a consolation prize Tuesday when an international architectural panel said it would recognize One World Trade Center as the tallest skyscraper in the United States. The Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, considered a world authority on supersized skyscrapers, announced its decision at simultaneous news conferences in New York and Chicago, home to the 1,451-foot Willis Tower, which is being dethroned as the nation’s tallest building. Measuring the height of a building would seem to be a simple thing, but in the case of the new World Trade Center tower it is complicated by the 408-foottall needle atop the skyscraper’s roof. The council’s verdict rested on a conclusion that the needle should be counted as part of see next page

North Country’s iconic Ray Burton dies at 74 CONCORD (AP) — Ray Burton, New Hampshire’s longest-serving member of the Executive Council and tireless advocate for the North Country who kept a rigorous travel schedule in the sprawling district, died Tuesday. He was 74. His spokesman, B.J. Perry, said Burton, who was suffering from kidney cancer, died shortly before 2 a.m. at his home in Bath, surrounded by friends. Burton, who announced in February that he was undergoing treatment for the
cancer, said on Oct. 26 that he wouldn’t be seeking another term in office. Several hundred people paid tribute to him in a ceremony at Bretton Woods on Nov. 1. Burton rode with Gov. Maggie Hassan from the Mount Washington Hotel in his “parade car,” a 1975 yellow Oldsmobile Delta 88, to the ceremony, where the Mount Washington overlook was dedicated in his honor. Responding to praise from U.S. Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen, Burton defaulted to his advocate role and
quipped: “Anyone else from the congressional delegation here I can lobby today?” “For the people Ray represented, he was more than an Executive Councilor or county commissioner — he was a member of the family,” Hassan said in a statement Tuesday. “If a challenge or problem ever arose, you could call Ray Burton and he would do everything in his power to help. If a business, a student, a community leader was being honored, Ray Burton would be see BURTON page 10
WASHINGTON (AP) — Adding pressure to fix the administration’s problem-plagued health care program, former President Bill Clinton says President Barack Obama should find a way to let people keep their health coverage, even if it means changing the law. Clinton says Obama should “honor the commitment that the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got.”
The former president, a Democrat who has helped Obama promote the 3-year-old health law, becomes the latest in Obama’s party to urge the president to live up to a promise he made repeatedly, declaring that the if Americans liked their health care coverage, they would be able to keep it under the new law. Instead, millions of Americans have started receiving insurance cancellation letters. That, coupled with the troubled
launch of the health care law’s enrollment website, has prompted Republican critics and frustrated Democrats to seek corrections in the law. House Republicans have drafted legislation to give consumers the opportunity to keep their coverage. Ten Senate Democrats are pushing for an unspecified extension of the sign-up period and in a private White House meeting last week several see CLINTON page 13

Uninsured, providers urge Aid trickling in to devastated areas of Philippines expanding Medicaid in N.H. needed TACLOBAN, Philippines (AP) — Desperately “We are not going to leave one person behind — food, water and medical aid are only trickling one living person behind,” he said. “We will help, no
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Uninsured New Hampshire residents and medical providers urged House and Senate panels considering competing plans Tuesday to back expanding Medicaid to cover an estimated 49,000 poor adults. Kyle Boesch, a 23-year-old recovering heroin addict from Northfield, told the House Finance Committee he earns about $275 a week from two jobs. Boesch said he’s been in jail but is turning his life around. He said he recently needed a cortisone shot for his back that cost $900 he does not have. “If something happened to me, I’d lose both jobs,” he said. A number of residents of Phoenix House, a drug rehabilitation facility in Dublin, told the House committee they can’t afford the ongoing treatment they need to keep them from spiraling back into alcohol or drug addiction. “I’m asking, better yet, I’m begging you to vote to expand Medicaid,” said Shawn Chapin, who said he struggles with drug and alcohol addiction. Later Tuesday, spokesmen for hospitals, doctors and other health care providers told a special Senate panel considering a different approach that they support expansion and hope the House and Senate can reach a compromise. Steve Ahnen, president of the New Hampshire Hospital Association, said it is critical for New Hampshire to provide access to health care to the uninsured. “Failure should not be an option,” he said. The House and Senate expansion plans are essentially the same for the first year, but take different approaches after that. Both start by using federal Medicaid funds to pay for private insurance for eligible adults already on employer-sponsored plans and enrolling others into a managed care program. The House continues that for two more years while the Senate shifts people onto private insurance through the federal insurance marketplace. Both plans would require federal waivers and would end the expansion if federal financial support fell below promised levels. The Senate would give the government one year to approve its use of the marketplace or the expansion would end. The Senate plan also would end automatically at the end of three years when federal funding begins dropping below 100 percent unless the Legislature reauthorized it. “This is not an entitlement,” Senate President Chuck Morse, prime sponsor of the Senate bill, testified. Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny cautioned the Senate panel that its timeline is ambitious. Sevigny said he has not heard of any companies preparing to enter the marketplace as the Senate plan envisions in 2015 to join the lone provider, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield. Kevin Klein of Well Sense Health Plan, one of three companies providing managed care to the existing Medicaid population, said his company spent a couple million dollars developing the network it has and would have to spend a similar amount developing a new product to become a qualified health plan in the marketplace. “I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it would have to make business sense,” he said. Meanwhile legislative leaders and Gov. Maggie Hassan continue to work behind closed doors to find a compromise. from preceding page the building’s total height. Without it, the tower would be just 1,368 feet tall, the same height as the original World Trade Center. That would make it smaller than not only the Willis, but also a 1,397foot apartment building being built a short subway ride away near Central Park. Speaking at his office in New York, council chairman Timothy Johnson, an architect at the global design firm NBBJ, said the decision by the 25-member height committee had more “tense moments” than usual, given the skyscraper’s importance as a patriotic symbol. “I was here on 9/11. I saw the buildings come down,” he said.
into this city that took the worst blow from Typhoon Haiyan, while thousands of victims jammed the damaged airport Tuesday, seeking to be evacuated. “We need help. Nothing is happening. We haven’t eaten since yesterday afternoon,” pleaded a weeping Aristone Balute, an 81-year-old woman who failed to get a flight out of Tacloban for Manila, the capital. Her clothes were soaked from a pouring rain and tears streamed down her face. Five days after the deadly disaster, aid is coming — pallets of supplies and teams of doctors are waiting to get into Tacloban — but the challenges of delivering the assistance means few in the stricken city have received help. Officials also were working to determine how many people had been killed, with the country’s president saying the death toll could be lower than earlier feared. “There is a huge amount that we need to do. We have not been able to get into the remote communities,” U.N. humanitarian chief Valerie Amos said in Manila, launching an appeal for $301 million to help the more than 11 million people estimated to be affected by the storm. “Even in Tacloban, because of the debris and the difficulties with logistics and so on, we have not been able to get in the level of supply that we would want to. We are going to do as much as we can to bring in more,” she said. Her office said she planned to visit the city. Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said relief goods were getting into the city, and the supply should increase now that the airport and a bridge to the island were open.
matter how difficult, no matter how inaccessible.” Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on Leyte island, bore the full force of the winds and the tsunami-like storm surges Friday. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed houses, cars and trees. Malls, garages and shops have all been stripped of food and water by hungry residents. The loss of life appears to be concentrated in Tacloban and surrounding areas, including a portion of Samar island that is separated from Leyte island by a strait. It is possible that other devastated areas are so isolated they have not yet been reached. In Cebu, to the southwest, the Philippine air force has been sending three C-130s back and forth to Tacloban from dawn to dusk, and had delivered 400,000 pounds of relief supplies, Lt. Col. Marciano Jesus Guevara said. A lack of electricity in Tacloban means planes can’t land there at night. Guevara said the C-130s have transported nearly 3,000 civilians out of the disaster zone, and that the biggest problem in Tacloban is a lack of clean drinking water. “Water is life,” he said. “If you have water with no food, you’ll survive.” A team from Médecins Sans Frontières, complete with medical supplies, arrived in Cebu island Saturday looking for a flight to Tacloban, but hadn’t left by Tuesday. A spokesman for the group said it was “difficult to tell” when it would be able to leave. “We are in contact with the authorities, but the (Tacloban) airport is only for the Philippines military use,” Lee Pik Kwan said in a telephone interview.

Wheels of misfortune The problem of America’s congested roads has long been simple: too many tires vying for a fixed amount of pavement. But with a growing bicycle culture joining the car culture, the difficulties have expanded greatly. The conveyances now travel at very different speeds, follow different rules of the road and expose their operators to vastly different levels of physical vulnerability. Let me start with a disclaimer: I am no fan of the car culture. I use buses, trains and my feet, as well as my car. And I’m a fair-weather bicyclist who sticks to routes with little traffic. But the rise in all-conditions, alltraffic bike commuting is causing considerable anxiety and injury or worse — and for all concerned. Here’s a real-life example: I’m driving at night on a city street with two narrow car lanes. This is a college neighborhood in which students habitually emerge from between parked cars, wearing earbuds and dressed in black. As I scrutinize the shadows for darting students, a bicyclist materializes on my right. She passes me in the tiny space between my Honda and the parked cars, offering a high sign. I give her a high sign back out of friendliness but also out of relief that I hadn’t veered three inches to my right and done her terrible damage. The cyclist was clearly operating under a set of dangerous assumptions: That I had eyes on the back of my head possessing superhuman powers of peripheral vision. That the extra eyes were wearing infrared goggles able to detect bodies in the dark. That I was not intoxicated or texting or otherwise distracted. Different dynamics govern bicycle-pedestrian interaction. Amateur cyclists traumatized by motorized traffic often try to share the sidewalks with pedestrians. But when the coast is clear on the road, they whiz through crosswalks, frightening those on foot.
My father was hit by a bicycle going the wrong way down a oneway street. He had looked before crossing, but not in the direction from which no traffic is supposed to come. He ended up in the hospital. Meanwhile, tragedies befalling bicyclists are legion. In San Francisco, a 24-year-old riding in a bike lane was killed when a truck made a right turn into her. It is really hard for a trucker to see a silent low vehicle coming along the right. When the driver was not cited, controversy ensued. My sister commutes by bike in Boston and offers accounts of death and near death. A friend died after his bike slipped on the snow and fell under a truck. In this case, no one was really at fault. The story sharply curbed my interest in bike commuting, however, though not my sister’s. You be the judge. I’m driving at rush hour on a busy four-lane with no shoulders at the sides. We’re going uphill, and there’s a slow-moving bicycle taking up the right lane. Actually, he was doing great, considering the demands of pedaling up a steep slope, but he did slow traffic behind him to 12 miles an hour. Because the hill was long, drivers knew they were in for an extended crawl unless they veered one lane left into the stampeding traffic. Now, the cyclist has a legal right to be on the road. But he is creating a traffic jam and raising blood pressure all around him. How does one factor in all the factors? You want to encourage biking, but there really has to be separation from motorized vehicles and pedestrians. Of course, bicyclists should honor the laws of the road. Harder to enforce, though, are the laws of common sense. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
New faces & new ideas always welcome at Tea Party meetings To The Daily Sun, Are you tired of government interference in your private life? Or even aware of it? Are you tired of the politics? How often do you think, “Just let me do my thing? I am a responsible citizen and I understand the laws of my town”. But they just keep imposing more and more rules into our lives. Many others feel the same way. I was at my wits end of frustration until I found out about the Lakes Region Tea Party last year and found a way to vent my feelings, and learn more about what is really happening in our country, and in the world. The Lakes Region Tea Party is a group of ordinary citizens who feel like the government is not acting the way it was set up to do. They meet the
third Wednesday of each month at the Moultonboro Library at 7 p.m. and welcomes anyone, regardless of party affiliation to join them. Usually there is an in-depth presentation by one of the participants on a given topic, and cookies afterwards. New faces and new ideas are always welcome. We are looking for people who want to learn how to voice their concerns and be willing to fact find and prepare pamphlets to help others. Check them out on the websites of N.H. Tea Party Coalition.org and Granite State Futures.org. Make new friends and see what you can do to stop the overreach of the government. Peggy Graham Sanbornton
LETTERS No interim reports to explain deterioration at jail is serious matter To The Daily Sun, In response to Commissioner Philpot’s letter to the editor of November 12, the ad hoc jail planning committee wishes to make the following points: 1. The commission has been told by many, including the Laconia City Council, that, while they may feel that the Ricci Greene jail project can be built for less than originally estimated, they should look for a solution which is more affordable to the citizenry. Appealing to buzzwords such as “value engineering” does little to gainsay the fact that the county cannot afford this outsized proposal. 2. As recently as this past Spring, the commissioners identified as stakeholders only those working within the system. When this was pointed out in a letter to the editor the language was removed from the county website and after opposition to the Ricci Greene proposal became apparent, the commissioners then formed a second jail committee. This committee has doubled down on the proposal despite the questionable assumptions and lack of metrics in the Bennett report on which the Ricci Greene plans are based. 3. The 30:12-B section of state law which requires timely filing of reports related to the jail is not a suggestion but a mandate and the failure of the commissioners to comply is a serious matter. We plan to ask the Attorney
General’s office to investigate this non-compliance with the law. That conditions were described as satisfactory in 2009 and as dire in 2013, with no interim reports to explain the deterioration, is a serious matter. 4. The commissioners determined advocacy for Ricci Greene excludes the consideration of other possibilities. While seeking to pressure the delegation into acceptance of Ricci Greene, an open dialogue between the two elected bodies has never been attempted. Bullying and accusatory tactics on the part of the commission have been the order of the day. 5. The statement that the informal committee, which was set up because of concern that the commissioners were not making progress in preparing an alternate and affordable solution to the jail, is insufficiently knowledgeable is belied by our study of Bennett’s report, Ricci Greene’s plans and by visits not only to the Belknap jail but to jails in other counties. The official commission-led meetings have Bennett as a point of embarkation and Ricci Greene as a terminus; one need not ride on this railroad to understand what is happening on County Drive. Rep.

Alton selectmen are not treating one of their own with respect To The Daily Sun, I attended a selectmen’s meeting in Alton on Nov. 4th. I was surprised and saddened by a couple of board members’ lack of respect for the newest Alton selectman, Robert Daniels. One certainly got the impression they were not happy about Mr. Daniels being elected to the board to the point of attempting to thwart the will of the voters who elected him. It reminded me of the character assassination I witnessed when I attended a Planning Board meeting and heard the newest elected member referred to as “an idiot.” Talk about the “good ol” boys (and girls) network! Much of what was directed at Mr. Daniels was in reference to his not supporting a $300,000 budget increase. Because he chose to contact
the Budget Committee members by e-mail, he was bullied and reprimanded by the chair and vice chair. Most people in Mr. Daniel’s position would’ve walked out but to his credit, he didn’t. It seems the time has come for the town of Alton to invest in an audio system to record all meetings by the various boards so that the citizens can have some insight into the character of their elected officials. Audio equipment is not that expensive these days. It’s a sad commentary that we see what appears to be contempt for the will of the voters when they elect new conservative board members. All of our elected officials deserve to be treated with civility by co-board members, including the newly elected ones. Phil Wittmann Alton

NEED DUI DEFENSE?
Middle School Sachems football team finished with 9-1-1 record To The Daily Sun, As a parent of a player, I would like to extend a huge “Thank You” to the coaching staff, support staff, and parents of the players of the Laconia Middle School Sachems Football Team that made this past season an almost perfect one. The LMS Sachems faced a very busy schedule, playing 11 season games with several scrimmages intermingled throughout the season. Opponents faced this year include Kearsage, Kennett, Kingswood, Newfound, Plymouth and Winnisquam. The Middle School Sachems closed the season with a 9-1-1 record, defeated only by the Plymouth Middle School team on October 22 on Plymouth soil. Prior to this game, both teams were undefeated and the Sachems were down a few key players due to the flu and injuries. The LMS Sachems had a chance to redeem themselves against Plymouth on October 30th and faced off again, this time on home turf. Both teams battled back and forth on the gridiron with intense determination. Plymouth struck first with a touchdown in the second quarter but the Sachems denied them the conversion to set the score at 0 – 6, Plymouth. Not to be left behind, the LMS Sachems fought back with a touchdown of their own in the third quarter. Plymouth would not fall easily and the LMS conversion was stopped by Plymouth’s incredible defense to tie the score 6 – 6. Both teams were locked in a stalemate for the rest of the game, closing the game with a 6 to 6 tie in an incredible game of suspense and anticipation.
Several LMS players stood out as excellent athletes throughout the season but what truly lead the LMS Sachems to an outstanding record was the fact that each and every player on the team came through when it counted, stepping up and making a whole-hearted effort when it was needed, no matter the circumstance. These young men should be proud of the efforts and dedication they have shown this season — Great Job Team! We would especially like to thank the coaching staff, Chip Nyhan, Mike Schofield, and Dem Chaisson for all of their time and dedication to making this season a success. Daily practices and weekend games combined with a work schedule makes for a very busy week. These men give their all to make this a successful program and especially so this year. There are countless others that deserve recognition for this season’s outcome as well and I wouldn’t attempt to name them all for fear of forgetting someone. Honorable mention is definitely deserved by Rod Roy for assisting the coaching staff and Sherri and Tim Minor for all that they do to videotape the games and distribute copies to parents and coaches. Of course we cannot forget to mention all the parents and thank them for delivering the players here, there and everywhere when practice locations changed, and above all else, supporting your players so that they can participate in this program. LMS as well as the community can be proud of this program, players, and staff members! Michael Shastany Laconia

Constitution requires that Obamacare be applied equally to all To The Daily Sun, I read letter to Laconia Daily Sun stating that “Obamacare will make things be more equal for all Americans.” Really! Written into PPACA (Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act) is a never spoken of exemption for corporations that self insure. Unions are also corporations, they not only want the exemption from being part of the PPACA but also from having to comply as other self insurers from paying the reinsurance contributions for 2015 and 2016. The PPACA was what exactly? Insurance companies are regulated by government a simple and direct set of laws could have taken care of any of the older laws which weren’t effective. Government, instead of just allowing corporations to write off the cost of insurance, allows unions to not only collect money from union members but to oversee the funds and the payouts with no third party oversight. Government could allow individuals (more equal) to do the same by just making a law. Self insure, keep money in an account under their name which would not be taxed and used to pay medical expenses.
The federal government could do a lot of things but make things more equal it can’t. The Constitution is what requires that laws be applied equally to all citizens; members of the government and government employees are also citizens and the Constitution should be applied to them — equally. The PPACA does not do this — period. Equal is equal, either things are or are not. They can not be made to be more equal, unless one is living out of “The Animal Farm” or envisioning a socialist state. Additionally, one does not need to hate a member of the government — black or white or a little of both — to find their politics to be less than satisfactory. It was Senator Harry Reid who said on putting Obama forward to be elected, “as a black candidate, could be successful thanks, in part, to his ‘light-skinned’ appearance and speaking patterns ‘with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one.’” But to some that isn’t racist because Senator Reid said it. I know there is racism, it has been around for tens of thousands of years and, as Reid has shown, it exist in all forms. G.W. Brooks Meredith

It appears that horns and pitchforks virtuoso Karl Payne thinks Halloween and shows like The Walking Dead and American Horror Story promote “demonism on steroids” and open up “individuals to demonic influence.” That’s correct, a right wing news rag with an expert on demons! Back on your meds, Karl! Our “Dead Cold Stiff and Without a Pulse” award goes to Texas TeaBircher Blake Farenthold who after being asked during the shutdown about his loss of retired veterans’ votes because they might not get their disability checks, quipped, “sometimes you have to make a small sacrifice to move forward with what you’re after.” Another Zombie of note appeared on Fake News recently to attack school lunches for impoverished families. Joy Pullman of the Heartlessland Institute attacked the new school meal pilot program in Florida. claiming that expanding access to free meals in Florida will increase childhood obesity and harm low-income families. Watch out for the Green Vomit! Pastor Kevin Swanson of Generations Radio is begging you not to buy those Communist Lesbian Cookies from the Girl Scouts. Swanson hurls his peagreen splatter, “The individualism of feminism has been devastating to this country” while according to his sidekick pastor Dave Buehner, the GSA website “doesn’t promote godly womanhood” and is “antithetical to a biblical vision for womanhood” when “they should train their daughters on how to become “a woman who will be a helpmeet to a man”. Rumor has it, every box of cookies contains a free condom! Not to be outdone by the speedy Green Vomit, in South Carolina a Christian soup kitchen refused to allow atheists help them feed the homeless because they must have ulterior motives. “Upstate Atheists” had raised over $2,000 to put together more than 300 care packages containing socks, gloves, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, soap, rain ponchos, snacks, shaving razors, antiseptic wipes, deodorants, tissues and gum. They plan to distribute these across the street from the soup kitchen this Saturday on National Make a Difference Day. Demons in the wipes! From Big-Religion, Pope Francis prepared his arsenal of wooden stakes for those blood-sucking light-fearing vampires of the right wing. After recently taking his sacred chainsaw to the culture war ghouls for their pathological obsession with abortion, contraception and homosexuality, this week Pope Francis began pounding his wooden stake into the nearly heartless Christian Right. Regarding their severely diminished capacity to give a hoot, the Pope stated on the Vatican website: “it is a serious illness”. YA THINK! Also from BigReligion, Billy Graham’s grandson
Boz Tchividjian, who is a law professor at Liberty University recently dropped fire and brimstone on the evangelical community with his latest sexual abuse study. It turns out that evangelicals are worse than Catholics. On a lighter note, World Nut Daily’s Jerome Corsi recently stated at a conservative event in Oregon that “sex isn’t about fun....If you want to have fun, read a book, go to a movie”. The Village Idiot costume prize goes to Greg Collett, a TeaBircher running for a congressional seat in Idaho. Greg is adamantly against most government programs, including Medicaid. All 10 of his children are on Medicaid but Greg insists he is not a hypocrite. Well, Greg, no matter how much frosting you put on a cow patty it will never be a cupcake. Winning our ‘Republican with a Conscience” award this week, Texas Judge Carlo Key has quit the GOP and will run as a Democrat next term. Judge Key stated, “As the smallest minds continue to make the loudest noise in the Republican Party, true leaders will be driven by their principles and values to become Texas Democrats” ... “Rational Republican beliefs have given way to ideological character assassination. Pragmatism and principle have been overtaken by pettiness and bigotry.”....”I cannot place my name on the ballot of the political party that is proud to destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands of federal workers over the vain attempt to repeal a law that would provide health care for millions of people throughout our country.” From that world of “the smallest minds who make the loudest noise”, Ted Cruz is the anointed one according to his even smaller minded father. If the video of Sarah Palin having demons cast out before the election of 2008 (It did not work!), the video of Cruz being anointed by authoritarian, misogynist, homophobic, “Christian Sharia” seeking pastors at Tony Perkins’ “Valueless Voters Summit” should really Halloween you out. Belladonna Tea? According to pastor David Brody, Cruz’s political career is “a thing of God”. Also contributing to Cruz’s megalomania were pastors who recently called Junior Cruz a modern day George Washington. Then I am Tom Paine! And let’s not forget what Junior said after losing the shutdown and debt ceiling battle: “It was an incredible victory!”. Cruz is like a quarterback who gets sacked in his own end zone and then SPIKES THE BALL! And let’s not forget Miss TinFoil-Hat USA Michelle Bachmann, who claims that although President Obama got 100 percent of what he wanted, the shutdown ended because “Republicans were the adults in the room”. Its the lead paint maybe? And who was that veteran at the WW2 Memorial that shouted at Sarah Palin, “You’re an Idiot!”? He deserves another medal! From our “flaming bown bag on the front porch” news we have Dick Cheney who said recently that Benghazi was the worst disaster of his lifetime. Huh? I would say he needs a brain transplant, too. Hannibal Lechter has just the right tools and a top shelf selection of Fava Beans. James Veverka Tilton
Fiscal conservatism & progressive social stances would be attractive To The Daily Sun, In his letter to this forum recently, Mr. Moran would have us believe that “America is losing its way in a leadership vacuum, and a leader has emerged.” The potential leader he refers to is Ted Cruz. Cruz has surpassed Sarah Palin and others as the champion of the tea party right. If Cruz, as suggested by Moran, “has donned the mantle of leadership”, the Republican Party is in dire straits. Cruz, on his narcissistic joy ride, ignited the defund Obamacare fight which led to the shutdown of the government at the cost of 24 billion (which could eventually reach $55 billion) and the cut of 0.6 percent off of yearly fourth quarter GDP growth. This was all precipitated by the House voting 40 times to repeal ACA, knowing it won’t pass the Senate and if it did the president would veto. They then threaten economic disaster if it’s not defunded, then delayed, then medical device tax stripped out, then they “have to get something, but don’t know what.” All this spearheaded by Cruz leading a rebellion against his own party comprised of one faction of one half of one third of government. Many Republican congressman have questioned Cruz’s political tactics, which may be a sign of party frustration with the Tea Party as a whole. Fellow Republicans have labeled Cruz as “either a fraud or totally incompetent” for having instigated a shutdown strategy, focused on killing ACA, that had no chance of succeeding. While public support for the Tea Party has fallen to record lows, with many Republicans now viewing the movement negatively, Cruz’s own popularity has soared among Tea Party Republicans. Unfortunately for Cruz
and the Tea Party, his unfavorable rating among Americans has doubled to 36 percent from 18 percent in June. Despite what my critics may say, I feel it’s imperative that our nation has a strong conservative Republican Party. What we’re seeing though, is a party lacking leadership and waging war within itself. What we’ve been witnessing with the divisiveness of the Tea Party is a dangerous shift to the far right and a party out of touch with the electorate and determined to maintain a strangle hold on the country in a backwards, unprogressive way. Voters, in large part, agree with them on their nominally austere fiscal policy, but these same voters are also socially liberal. They have come to perceive the Tea Party as defining themselves in terms of what they oppose — they have put forward no positive plans for dealing with unemployment, economic expansion, effective and fair dept reduction, foreign policy or diplomacy. A Republican Party capable of standing on a conservative fiscal platform without alienating socially progressive voters would handily win over independents, moderates, and a large portion of the American electorate from the Democrats. Unfortunately, a divided Republican Party cannot win a major election — the divisions within the party are holding it back. As a nation, we are not going to make any progress on our biggest problems without a compromise between the center-right and the center-left. But, for this to happen, we need the centerright conservatives, not the Tea Party, to be running the G.O.P. L. J. Siden Gilmanton
Talk about taxes, big government & debt & the response is ‘racism’ To The Daily Sun, On Saturday, Roland Jutras wrote a hopeful letter expressing his desire for polite and civil debate in our political letters. I wish it could be so but as Roland pointed to Nancy Parson”s letter in which she claimed to have “detected” a racial element in Tony Boution”s letters (complete nonsense) is the perfect example of why it will never be. I can go back 50 years when the “what are you, a racist”, phrase began being thrown into the faces of anyone who would dare disagree with left wing activists of the time. Since then nothing has changed especially with Obama coming onto the scene a few years ago. Let me recap just a bit. Barack Obama announced his candidacy for the nomination for president. Critics rightly pointed out his lack of experience, lack of accomplishments. The leftss response: “Racism”, they screamed. Barack won the nomination and the election. Those who voted against him for the above stated reasons were labeled by the left as, “racists”. Barack broke just about every campaign promise in the next couple
years and many of us made a point of pointing that out. The left’s answer: “racism” again! The Tea Party emerged speaking against raising taxes, growing government and national debt. The left’s response: you guessed it, “racism”. In the last few years we have seen “Fast and Furious” (the failed gun running scheme), the Benghazi debacle, IRA scandal, foreign policy incompetence, and latest the failed ACA roll out. When anyone dared speak or write a critical word you know by now how the left responded. “Racism” they charged, “bigots, rednecks”, and all manor of personal smears and slanders were cast but seldom was it that the left was able to deny the facts or present reasonable arguments on their behaves. Several years ago I decided I wasn’t going to take it any more, I wouldn’t remain silent, so Roland, I must confess your hope for polite, civil debate will not be. I will give back to as I receive from the left. If they can’t take it I’d suggest they stop dishing it out. Steve Earle Hill

LETTERS 1878 N.H. voters concerned that ‘Papism’ would be taught in schools To The Daily Sun, In a previous letter concerning the Superior Court case that has bared scholarship funds from N.H.’s education tax credit program to be used to send children to religious schools, I related how the Blaine Amendment to our state Constitution, the amendment to our Constitution that was passed in 1878 that forbids money that has been raised by taxes to be used to support schools “of any religious sect or denomination”, was passed out of concern that with the growing catholic population resultant from the influx of emigrants coming to work in the mills of N.H. during this, the Industrial Revolution, that there was a fear that as the Catholic population was requesting aid from the state for their schools, that our public education would eventually become Catholic. Public education was as it was considered at the time, nonsectarian protestant. (A little aside here: a society in order to be cohesive needs to determine what it holds to be true. It can be done openly by consensus of the people or in secret by an elite few and trickled down to the people over a long period of time indiscernibly so that they don’t even know that they’ve been manipulated. As much as what a society accepts to be true is congruent with what is actually true a society prospers. As much as society holds as true that which is in fact false a society flounders. In 1878 the time of the passing of the Blaine Amendment, the Bible was held to be true in our state and our nation, as it had been from our nation’s founding well into the 20th century.) Now I would like to explain the reasoning for this concern about the Catholic Church. Though I’m sure some must have been ignorantly prejudiced against Catholics, the actual concern that propelled this amendment into law was that our public schools were as they called them nonsectarian protestant in orientation, which meant that they held to what was commonly agreed to be Christian in values and orientation, denomi-
national differences were put aside in favor of what they could agree on. One very important protestant ethic was the importance of each man and woman being able to read the Bible himself and to understand for himself the word of God. This was in reality the foundation stone of American liberty. No one could tell you what you needed to believe. This was felt to be the very foundation of our liberty. (You were free not to believe that the Bible was true, but as a consensus it was held to be so, therefore our laws and customs were based on it.) And as you can imagine it was considered of utmost importance that we train up our children in that discipline. Catholicism, or as it was sometimes referred to then, Papism, because Catholics looked to the Pope for spiritual authority, gave cause for concern. This looking to a man for authority was seen as a threat to the very essence of our liberty. The possibility that with the growth of Catholicism in America that a future generation of Americans might be taught to follow a man for their most important spiritual foundation instead of reading and understanding for themselves was the issue that mobilized voters to support the Blaine Amendment. In this manner they reasoned that religious liberty and consequently all of our other liberties would be preserved. The essence of this reasoning was in line with Articles 3 - 6 and Article 10 of our state Constitution (http:// www.nh.gov/constitution/billofrights. html). Article 3-6 deal with natural rights the trade off in surrendering some natural rights to protect others, unalienable Rights of Conscience, and religious liberty. Article 10 is a very, very strong admonition against arbitrary power. So how did we get to where we are today? And what bearing do these things have on the mentioned case before our Supreme Court? If God and the editors are willing I will discuss these things in future submissions. John Demakowski Franklin

Paper will remain free but Daily Sun to begin offering fee-based home delivery service LACONIA – Early-morning home delivery of a local daily newspaper will once again be available in the Lakes Region area under a program being introduced by The Laconia Daily Sun. Beginning tomorrow The Daily Sun will begin taking subscriptions for home delivery in the 16 communities where the paper is distributed, Sun Publisher Adam Hirshan, and Ed Engler, the paper’s president and editor, announced earlier this week. “Now that (the) Laconia (area) doesn’t have a home delivered paper, we feel it is an excellent time to offer this service to our readers,” Hirshan said. The Daily Sun is offering the home delivery service through a contract with the Concord Monitor, which this week began distributing the Sun. One immediate effect of that partnership is that the newspaper is now available at hundreds of locations earlier in the day than has often been the case in the past several years. “The paper is now out earlier, and it will be available everywhere no later than 6:30 a.m.,” Engler explained. Starting tomorrow readers can begin signing up for home delivery by calling a special toll-free number, 1-866-665-6068. The cost for the home delivery will be $2.25 a week, starting December 3. Subscriptions will be offered for 13-, 26- and 52-week periods, Hirshan said. Engler and Hirshan stressed that The Daily Sun remains committed to its original mission of providing comprehensive local news coverage — both in print and online — free of charge, but was now offering a home-delivery option in response to reader demand. “The paper remains free,” said Engler. “What you are paying for is the delivery service.” “We’re now offering our readers the opportunity for the convenience of having the paper delivered right to their door,” Hirshan added. Readers can continue to pick up the paper free of charge at hundreds of locations, as they always have. The partnership with the Concord Monitor allows The Daily Sun to take advantage of the Moni-
tor’s already-existing newspaper delivery routes throughout the region. As a result, The Sun will now be available for the first time in Loudon, and it will be available in more places in Moultonborough than has been the case up until now. In addition, there are plans to distribute The Sun to communities on the east side of Lake Winnipesaukee, including Wolfeboro, in the future. The Laconia Daily Sun began publishing in June 2000. At the beginning it printed 2,000 copies a day. Its readership has increased several-fold over the years, and today The Sun prints 18,000 copies Tuesdays through Saturdays. In addition about 2,000 people view the online version of the printed paper every day, said Engler. For the past five years The Daily Sun has been printed at a large Dow Jones-owned plant in Portsmouth. Starting in January, the newspaper will be printed at the Concord Monitor plant off Interstate 93, near the Concord-Loudon line. Hirshan said that The Daily Sun is excited about its partnership with the Monitor because of that paper’s reputation for providing quality newspaper delivery service through a professionally managed circulation system. Hirshan said that the two papers are also exploring ways that they can team up to offer advertising programs to benefit both newspapers’ advertising customers. In addition to offering the opportunity to have The Daily Sun delivered to individual residences, professional offices and other businesses can also take advantage of the new delivery service to have bundles of up to 50 papers delivered for a charge of $10 a month. Hirshan said The Daily Sun would like to sell 1,000 home delivery subscriptions in the first year. Laconia’s other local daily newspaper, the Citizen of Laconia, ceased conventional home delivery one year ago. That paper is delivered to about 1,500 subscribers via U.S. Mail, according to a recent report The Citizen filed with the U.S. Postal Service. The rest of The Citizen’s circulation is through singlecopy sales. The Postal Service report says The Citizen sells about 4,800 copies per day in addition to those delivered by mail.
TRIAL from page one that “New Year’s Eve began a hellish time in which (the victim) kept a secret, believing her family had betrayed her.” “She might not remember what she ate, who was there,” Ahern said. “But she’ll remember the defendant touched her vagina.” During her testimony the girl recalled she was wearing her pink pajamas and was sitting on an “L” shaped couch next to Grant. She said he reached into her pajama bottoms and put his finger in her. She said she went upstairs to the bathroom and when she wiped herself she saw “streaks of blood.” She said the alleged assault happened before the fireworks she and her family lit off that night. Grant’s lawyer Emily McLaughlin spent most of yesterday afternoon trying to discredit the girl’s story by questioning her about different things she told different people after she told her story to her therapist about six years after the alleged incident. McLaughlin had already presented the jury a family tree and a home video of that night for visual aids during her opening statements to the jury. The video showed the girl wearing blue jeans and a jacket, playing outside of Grant’s home that night. She was waving sparklers and the snippets of the video spanned the hour from 9:34 p.m. until 10:30 p.m. McLaughlin had told the jurors in her opening arguments they would hear the alleged victim’s testimony and find the girl’s statements “inconsistent, contradictory, unbelievable, and untrue.” When McLaughlin asked the alleged victim whether she remembered telling certain details to a specific person she often didn’t. She admitted that she didn’t tell anybody about the alleged assault
until she started seeing a therapist nearly six years later and four months after she started therapy. The girl admitted under cross-examination that she had had some personal problems including failing grades and marijuana use during the time she made her statements – her sophomore year. She said she was having problems with her mother during this time. She said she didn’t remember all the things she told every person who interviewed her – including her therapist, her therapist in the presence of her mother, a California Police Officer, and a Community Action Counselor. At several points during the cross examination, McLaughlin showed the girl excepts of statements she made and question her as to whether she remembered making them or not. Often, the alleged victim didn’t remember making the particular statement. The alleged victim answered all of McLaughlin’s questions – sometimes speaking very softly other times speaking loudly and clearly. She testified that she told her therapist about the alleged digital penetration when she learned that Grant and his wife (the girl’s mother and Eric Grant’s wife at the time, Erica, are sisters) had divorced. She said she waited nearly six years in part because she didn’t want to be accused of breaking up the family. McLaughlin also cross examined the girl about the blood in her underwear. She testified yesterday that she didn’t remember if she was wearing underwear that night and that she didn’t remember what happened to the pink pajamas. McLaughlin told the jury during her opening arguments that they would hear that no adult who was in the room will testify that they saw the digital see next page

Shaker Board told yearly meeting with selectmen not enough By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — At a Shaker Regional School Board meeting last night to which the Belmont Selectmen were invited, Selectman Jon Pike said that one meeting annually was “inappropriate.” “You’ve asking us for policies and plans we haven’t discussed yet,” Pike said in response to Chair Heidi Hutchinson’s request that the selectmen tell her board what is happening in the town that effects the school. He said he was “bewildered” because in his recollection this meeting was only the second one he can recall in his years as selectmen. The meeting is the second in two years where the two boards were scheduled to get together and discuss commonalities between the town and the school district. Last year’s selectmen’s meeting between Superintendent Maria Dreyer and the selectmen produced a more cooperative use of the school’s sports facilities and the town’s Department Parks and Recreation. Selectman Ruth Mooney said she thinks there should be a school district budget committee, like the one the town has had for years. She said taxpayers automatically assume that if their bills go up “it must be the school.” “A second set of eyes can’t hurt,” she said noting that a school district budget committee could also WOW from page one erate with anyone seeking an alternative route, it has also repeatedly resolved that “no one. . . but no one . . . will cross South Down.” Bolduc suggests that instead of the planned route, the trail follow Elm Street from Lakeport Square to Parade Road then proceed northward to Hilliard Road at Petal Pushers Farm and across Hilliard Road to The Weirs. Hilliard Road runs northeast from Parade Road to join Endicott Street North (Route 3) near Cumberland Farms, a distance of almost two miles. However, about half of the length of Hilliard Road, from Parade Road to Hillcroft Road from preceding page rape of an 8-year-old. “At most, they saw a wedgie,” she said, telling the jury that the family would later talk of the “wedgie incident.” McLaughlin also told the jury in her opening argument that the girl passed gas in Grant’s face and he pushed her away and called her a “stinky butt” and a “fart face” and gave her a wedgie and this likely caused the girl some embarrassment and lasting hurt feelings. The “wedgie incident” is expected to be the first thing the jury hears today when the trial reconvenes at 10 a.m. and McLaughlin continues her cross examination of the alleged victim.
take the blame off the school board for its budget. Pike said the town was “out of money” and he and Mooney agreed that since they learned that Gilmanton’s tax rate went down, Belmont taxpayers have been contacting them about why Belmont’s rate didn’t also drop. Pike also mentioned that if everything was “for the kids” he was on board but if things were such that someone was “making money on the kids” then he was out. With that statement he left. School Board members took the comment in stride, saying little to Pike’s commentary or Mooney’s budget committee suggestion. Hutchinson said the Shaker Board was looking at its long-term capital budget as it prepares for the upcoming budget year. She said there is a “bubble” of students in the Belmont Elementary School and the Belmont High School is at 93 percent of its student capacity. As for updates on the town side, Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said the town had altered the employee insurance plans with an eye toward 2014 and the time that the town could face tax penalties under the Affordable Care Act for so-called “Cadillac” insurance plans. All agreed that the two boards should be meeting at least four times a year so policy and planning especially for budgets can be consistent.
has not been maintained for many years. This alternative route would stretch for approximately six miles — two miles across Elm Street, two miles up Parade Road and two miles across Hilliard Road. It would require adding or widening sidewalks on Elm Street, constructing a pathway along Parade Road and reopening half of Hilliard Road. Bolduc said that just as segments of the first two phases of the WOW Trail follow sidewalks on Messer Street and Fair Street, the third phase could follow Elm Street. He acknowledged that along Parade Road, a state highway where the speed of traffic approaches or exceeds 50 miles per hour, it would be necessary to distance the trail from the roadway, but offered bike paths paralleling I-89 in Lebanon and Concord as examples of the compatibility of trails and highways. Reopening Hilliard Road would not only provide a route for the trail but also improve access to The Weirs, especially during Motorcycle Week when congestion may pose challenges for employees going to and from work as well as emergency vehicles. Luke Powell, assistant director of Public Works, said that he has walked the length of Hilliard Road, which he described as passable with an all-terrain vehicle. He estimated that reconstructing the roadway, together with building a trail, could be a costly project, requiring stream crossings and extensive see next page

Grand jury indicts Riley on murder charges Inter-Lakes board agrees
LACONIA — A Belknap County grand jury had indicted a former McGrath Street man for two counts of second-degree murder for allegedly strangling his former housemate while the two were living at an unsupervised residential home. Each count represents a different theory of the June 10 murder – one that Kasey Riley, 20, allegedly recklessly caused the death of Zachary March and one that he negligently caused the death of Zachary March. Little is known about Riley other than his family’s statements that he had been living at the residen-
tial home that is managed by Genesis Behavioral Health for a short period of time. Riley’s family members have also said that he had checked himself into to the Emergency Room at the Lakes Region General Hospital a short time prior his March’s death and was taken to the N.H. State Hospital in Concord but was released after one day in Concord. N.H. Assistant Attorney General Geoffrey Ward is prosecuting the case. Riley is being held without bail at the Belknap County House of Corrections. — Gail Ober
BURTON from page 2 the first to applaud. If there was a parade, a pot luck dinner, a public meeting, you knew that Ray Burton would be there.” Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern said the state and North Country are stronger because of Burton’s work and devotion, “and he has left a model of service that will live on in the State House he served in for decades.” Earlier this year, Burton focused on helping people from his home and connected to the council meetings in Concord electronically. He assured constituents, “Ray Burton will be back to 100 percent before you know it, passing out business cards and combs! I am forever humbly at your service.”
A Republican, Burton was first elected to the council in 1977. Aside from a brief time in 1980, he was re-elected every two years since then. The fivemember council approves state contracts and nominations. Beth Funicella ran against Burton in 2010 and 2012. When she saw him two months ago, he encouraged her to run again. “That’s the kind of person he was,” she said. “He encouraged people coming up. He was pretty nonpartisan about that.

to take a year to study full-day kindergarten BY MIKE MORTENSEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH – All-day kindergarten in the InterLakes School District will not begin until the 201516 school year, at the earliest. The Inter-Lakes School Board concurred last night with Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond’s recommendation to give school administrators a year to study the effects an all-day kindergarten program would have. The board did not take a formal vote on Ormand’s recommendation. But board chairman Richard Hanson noted that no board members had any objection to the superintendent’s proposal. Two weeks ago the board held an open forum regarding all-day kindergarten. At that session, held in Center Harbor, public reaction to expanding kindergarten was mixed. Some favored the change, citing education and childcare benefits, while others questioned if such a move was the best way to improve early childhood education and development. Last night Ormand requested the board’s support to conduct a survey of parents whose children would likely be immediately affected by any change in the kindergarten program. She said she also wanted administrators to have time to confer with local daycare providers and also to explore various options that might be available to parents under whatever changes that might be approved. “We need this year for examination and planning,” she told the board. The only reaction to Ormand’s request came from board member Howard Cunningham of Sandwich who signaled disappointment at the superintendent’s request for more time. “My only comment is that every other district around is already there (with a full-day kindergarten program),” he said. At the Center Harbor meeting some urged the board not to implement all-day kindergarten for the coming 2014-15 school year which would have meant including money for any costs involved in next year’s school budget. NOTE: Board member Howard Cunningham of Sandwich announced that he would not be running for reelection. Cunningham called the decision a difficult one. He said he was announcing his decision four months before the school district election in hopes the advance notice would result in a pool of candidates. from preceding page grading. Moreover, he recalled that the public rightof-way was relatively narrow. Likewise, Powell questioned whether the state-owned right-of-way on Parade Road would be sufficient to accommodate a 10-foot-wide trail at a safe distance from the roadway, which he suggested could be as much as 30 feet. Alan Beetle, president of the Board of Directors of the WOW Trail, said that he was not aware that this particular alternative route was being considered. “I think it’s great to add sidewalks and bike lanes for pedestrians and cyclists,” he said, “but they are not the same as a recreational trail.” He stressed that the WOW Trail is intended as an attraction that will draw people to the city and region and noted that a sidewalk through a residential neighborhood and path along a state highway were unlikely to attract visitors. Beetle said that relatively few residences at South Down Shores are very near the trail, while for most the WOW Trail represented an additional amenity for their community. He acknowledged the risk of litigation, remarking “we’re prepared for that,” but fancied that residents of South Down will “use the funds to do something positive for the community, like the WOW Trail.”

PET OF THE WEEK IS ONYX Onyx,
not your ordinary bunny. Probably aged about two, Onyx was treated like a little Princess by her former owner before he had to surrender her to New Hampshire Humane Society due to work relocation that could not include this little Netherland Dwarf rabbit. She was quite comfy riding shotgun on the lawnmower, her former owner was a landscaper, seriously, she rode on the equipment with him! Onyx was used to going to work and spending time in the office, she got along well with cats, and may not actually realize she is, in fact, a rabbit. Already spayed, in the prime of health, she truly does love to snuggle, not all rabbits do. Certainly not a candidate for a drafty outdoor hutch, she really is a house rabbit. Knowing the dietary needs of rabbits is important to keeping this tiny lagamorph healthy. Fresh greens, correct rabbit pellets, timothy hay, carrot tops and such are all things she loves to eat. Onyx is perfect for apartment living, consider this adorable, cuddly bundle for your next pet.

Full house at Hector’s for ‘Dinner in the Dark’ By RogeR Amsden
LACONIA — Some 70 people turned out at Hector’s Fine Food and Spirits in downtown Laconia on Monday evening for a unique dining experience, a “Dinner in the Dark” at which they dined blindfolded. Hosted by the Central New Hampshire Advisory Committee of the New Hampshire Association for the Blind , the unique sensory awareness experience took participants on a journey in which they experienced dining as a blind person, using only the senses of taste, sound and touch. ‘’It was an experience that really had a big impact on the people taking part,’’ said Jean Foote, who said that at first participants were a little nervous but soon came to appreciate for the way it broadened their understanding of those with vision problems. ‘’Many people have problems relating to blind people and feel awkward around them. Most people don’t even want to think of losing heir sight. So the event made them much more aware and hopefully
spread the message that there are ways to help and that blind people can lead successful, normal lives,’’ said Foote. Keynote speaker was scheduled to be Randy Pierce, association board member, client and founder of 2020 Vision Quest, who has summited all 48 of New Hampshire’s highest peaks in a single winter season. But his guide dog, “Quinn’’, was recently hospitalized with a jaw problem and wasn’t up to making the trip. Speaking instead was Gracie Cilley of Meredith Village Savings Bank, who told those present about the struggles of an eight-year-old relative who is losing her sight due to complications from diabetes. Sponsors for the event included Meredith Village Savings Bank, Sawyers Jewelry, E&S Insurance Services, The Laconia Daily Sun, Shetty Opthamology and the Salmon Press. Created in Germany, “Dining in the Dark” is a oneof-a-kind concept that has been enjoyed by many people across Europe and came to this country in 2005.
COUNCIL from page one Ultimately the council encouraged the firms to address the issues dividing them and return to the council once an arrangement was reached. Norm Soucy, general manager at Aavid, reminded the council that earlier this year the company returned its headquarters from Concord to Laconia, where it began almost 50 years ago, bringing 50 jobs to the city and investing $500,000 in its facility. Acknowledging that changing the name of the street would impose costs on neighboring firms, he said that Aavid would reimburse them for all out-ofpocket costs and offered to provide them with any administrative assistance they might need. But, Michael DeAngelis of Amatex Corporation, a designer and manufacturer of fiberglass textiles headquartered in Norristown, Pennsylvania, said “we see no reason for the name change,” adding “it will cause us a great deal of stress.” He said that the company has operated in Laconia since 1982. “We like Primrose Drive. We like south and we like north.” With business brisk and plans to expand in the spring, he said affecting the change of address would be a costly distraction. Jeremy Baron of Baron Machine Company, Inc. called the prospect “a pain in the butt that doesn’t benefit anyone.” He applauded Aavid for returning to the city, but repeated there was no need to change the name of the street. Robert Maher who owns 72 Primrose Drive, which he rents to three tenants, including Amatex, expressed reservations on behalf of his tenants Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) asked Soucy if there were a business reason for the request. Soucy
replied that it would enable Aavid and the city to promote advanced manufacturing throughout the world and described it as “an enhancement to the city of Laconia.” “What about the industries that have been here 40 years?” DeAngelis asked. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) endorsed the name change, which he said represented an opportunity to “rebrand” the city and “leverage” the success of Aavid to “go beyond ourselves to get to another place.” At the same time, he stressed that the timing of the process and the reimbursement of the costs should be arranged to the satisfaction of the neighboring companies. Seconded by Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4), Lipman moved to approve the change. Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) urged that a vote be deferred. He questioned the benefits of changing a street name and expressed concern that one company would be given preference over others. Lahey said he too was “uncomfortable” and and asked “are we only talking dollars?” Both DeAngelis and Baron conceded that apart from the costs the name change would not otherwise disadvantage their businesses. Soucy reaffirmed his commitment to reimburse costs. “Our goal is not to have this cost our neighbors money,” he said. Seeking reassurance Lahey remarked “I don’t want to wake up some morning to find out that 25 jobs moved to Pennsylvania because somebody got mad.” Lipman repeated that by supporting a business with the potential to attract other businesses the name change would create “synergy,” noting that “everybody benefits if we raise all boats.”

U.S. prairies shrink as demand for ethanol grows
ROSCOE, S.D. (AP) — Robert Malsam nearly went broke in the 1980s when corn was cheap. So now that prices are high and he can finally make a profit, he’s not about to apologize for ripping up prairieland to plant corn. Across the Dakotas and Nebraska, more than 1 million acres of the Great Plains are giving way to corn fields as farmers transform the wild expanse that once served as the backdrop for American pioneers. This expansion of the Corn Belt is fueled in part by America’s green energy policy, which requires oil companies to blend billions of gallons of corn ethanol into their gasoline. Ethanol has become the No. 1 use for corn in America, helping keep prices high. “It’s not hard to do the math there as to what’s
profitable to have,” Malsam said. “I think an ethanol plant is a farmer’s friend.” What the green-energy program has made profitable, however, is far from green. A policy intended to reduce global warming is encouraging a farming practice that actually could worsen it. That’s because plowing into untouched grassland releases carbon dioxide that has been naturally locked in the soil. It also increases erosion and requires farmers to use fertilizers and other industrial chemicals. In turn, that destroys native plants and wipes out wildlife habitats. It appeared so damaging that scientists warned that America’s corn-for-ethanol policy would fail as an anti-global warming strategy if too many farmers plowed over virgin land.
MERGER from page 2 At US Airways, the No. 5 U.S. carrier, shareholders will own 28 percent of the new company, employees stand to get more pay, and top executives will realize their dreams of running an airline even bigger than United or Delta. The Justice Department said it extracted the largest divestitures ever in an airline merger. Attorney General Eric Holder said the agreement would ensure more competition on nonstop and connecting routes throughout the country. For American and US Airways customers, they’ll get reciprocal frequent-flier benefits in January and, executives said, more service to more places eventually. Doug Parker, the US Airways CEO who will run the new airline, even suggested that customer service will improve because workers will share in a more prosperous industry. William Baer, assistant attorney general for Jus-
tice’s antitrust division, said that even a few more gates and flights for low-fare carriers would help consumers. He said that when Southwest picked up slots at Newark, N.J., as part of the 2010 merger of United and Continental, it had a ripple effect that reduced fares on many routes. The airlines were close to finishing the merger in August until the Justice Department and several states filed an antitrust lawsuit to block the deal, saying it would reduce competition on hundreds of routes around the country and lead to higher consumer prices. A trial was scheduled to begin Nov. 25. To avoid the uncertainty of a trial, American and US Airways agreed to give up about 15 percent of their takeoff and landing rights at Reagan National Airport near Washington — they’ll still be the biggest airline there — and a smaller number of slots at LaGuardia Airport in New York.
CLINTON from page 2 pressed Obama to do so. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., has proposed legislation that would require insurance companies to reinstate the canceled policies. The White House says it is working on changes that would ease the impact of the cancellations for some people. But the fixes under consideration are administrative actions, not congressional changes to the law. White House spokesman Jay Carney on Tuesday reiterated the White House argument that the cancellations apply to only about 5 percent of Americans who obtained health care insurance. He also argued that more than half of those people receiving termination notices would benefit from better insurance at lower prices either through expanded Medicaid or through new health care marketplaces. For the remainder, Carney said, “The president has instructed his team to look at a range of options.” The issue facing the administration now is how to ease the impact on people who are losing their plans and don’t qualify for subsidies to cover higher
premiums. Carney said the White House opposes a House Republican bill, proposed by Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., that would allow insurers to keep selling insurance that doesn’t offer the type of benefits required by the new law. “Any fix that would essentially open up for insurers the ability to sell new plans that do not meet standards would create more problems than it fixed,” he said. Jonathan Gruber, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist who advised the Obama administration on the health care law, said the White House has few if any administrative options available. One solution, he said, would be to offer a “transitional tax credit” to those consumers who are losing their insurance and must pay more for new coverage that meets the law’s standards. “I don’t know how you do that without Congress’s permission, and they’re not going to give it to you,” he said.

Club’s history& heritage reviewed at Pemi Fish and Game Club’s Fall Pot Luck Dinner
HOLDERNESS — The annual fall pot luck dinner of the Pemigewasset Valley Fish and Game Club was held at the clubhouse at 295 Beede Road in Holderness on Friday, October 25. Members and guests were treated to a variety of delicious dishes and desserts donated by many of those attending. Following the dinner a discussion of the club’s history and heritage was given by Fred Allen. Fred has been a club member since April, 1965, was club president for 14 years (1995 – 2009) and has been on the Board of Directors for over 22 years. The Pemigewasset Valley Fish & Game Club boasts a proud history which began in 1941. Due to the persistent efforts of Rosco Whitcomb a meeting was held in March 1941 at the Firemen’s Hall in Ashland for the purpose of organizing a fish and game club in the local area. In 1950 the club purchased 330 acres off Beede Road in Holderness. In 1951 the original 200 yard shooting range was constructed and in 1952 the 40 x 80 foot, two story club house was built under the guidance of club president Win Staples. The club held monthly meetings at the clubhouse spring through fall and met elsewhere including at the Ashland schools in the winter months. Notable milestones include the club being recognized by the National Rifle Association as one of twenty clubs in the nation to receive the President’s Award in 1997 and in 2001 the Most Improved Club of the Year recognition was awarded to the Pemigewasset Valley Fish and Game Club. The club has been an affiliate member of the NRA for around seventy years. The club has given full scholarships for two or more youth to the state conservation camp (now known as the Barry Conservation Camp) since the mid-’50’s. A high-power shooting team has competed in the NH High Power Rifle League since the ‘70’s and 3-D archery programs were started in 1974. The IBO (International Bowhunters Organization) sanctioned NH 3-D Archery Championship has been held the past fifteen years. The shooting sport of Silhouette Matches wherein steel plates are knocked over with shots at 40 to 200 yards was initiated under the direction of John Bartlett and David Hall in see next page

GILFORD — Laconia Elks #876 will be holding its second annual Elk Mania event to help raise funds for the WLNH Children’s Auction. In 2012 it raised $10,687. This year’s
goal is $15,000. Elk Mania is on Saturday November 23, at the Laconia Elks Lodge in Gilford. The one day event runs from see next page
from preceding page 2006 and in 2007 IDPA (International Defensive Pistol Association) matches were organized by Bob Klimm. In March of each year the St Patties Day match, 40 shots offhand at 100 yards with any center fire rifle, is held under the direction of Mike Brown Cowboy action shooting matches were first offered in the summer of 1997. The first Pemi CAS (Cowboy Action Shooting) State Championship sanctioned by SASS (Single Action Shooting Society) was held in July of 2000 and hosted several times since. In 2007 the first Biathlon matches were held and now several matches a year are presented matching shooting with sessions on snowshoes or cross country skiing in the winter and run, walk, or wheelchair or mountain bikes in the summer. An 11 year old shooter, Sean Doherty, who had never before pulled a trigger, participated in the first very summer biathlon at the Pemi and is now on a fast track for Olympic competition. The downstairs of the clubhouse was “finished” in 1994 and indoor archery facilities opened that fall. In 1998 the club became affiliated with the New Hampshire Wildlife Federation. Since the ‘50’s the club has hosted
many scout and church youth camporees yearly, both summer and winter events. Some of these include shooting safety clinics. Several women’s shooting clinics, youth clinics and training, pistol and trap clinics, and .22 pistol and rifle matches are scheduled yearly. The club also hosts Venture Crew 58 with a rifle team for boys and girls age 14 – 20. The Crew shoots Thursday evenings, indoors in the winter and on the outdoor ranges in the warmer months. The yearly New Day’s Trap Shoot is a big deal to start off the year with a big bang. In 2001 a grant was awarded to the club by the NH Fish and Game Department in its Small Grants program to cover the cost of developing a Forest Stewardship Plan to guide the use of the 330 acres with a balance for the best use to include forestry, recreation, and wildlife habitat. Grants from the NHF&G have also resulted in several small crab apple plantations on the grounds providing wildlife with winter nutrition. The club has provided a fundraising committee for the NRA Foundation since 1999. The fundraisers, known as a Friends of NRA Dinner and Fundraiser, has draise 2/3 of a million dollars in NH in grants for the shooting sports.

‘America’s Pharmacist’ Makes Memory Discovery of a Lifetime: Is it the Fountain of Youth for Aging Minds?
Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, finds what he and his patients have been looking for... a real memory pill PHOENIX, ARIZONA – If Pharmacist of the Year, Dr. Gene Steiner, had a nickel for every time someone leaned over the counter and whispered, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,” he would be a rich man today. It’s a question he’s heard countless times in his 45-year career. He has seen families torn apart by the anguish of memory loss and mental decline, a silent condition that threatens the independent lifestyle seniors hold so dearly. In his years-long search for a drug or nutrient that could slow mental decline, he finally found the answer in the pages of an obscure medical journal. “I was studying materials about memory loss and cognitive decline, and there it was, right in front of me... evidence of a real memory pill!” “At the time, I was an anchor for a medical program in Los Angeles. I was so excited that I contacted the author of the research and invited him to come on the program as a guest.” “I wanted millions of listeners to learn about this important new development!”
Reduced blood flow has another brain-numbing effect: it slashes the number of neurotransmitters in the brain, the messenger molecules used by the brain to help form thoughts, retrieve memories, and help its owner stay focused and on-task. Fewer neurotransmitters circulating in the brain translates to concentration and memory woes. So, Reynolds and a team of scientists developed a natural, drugfree compound shown in research to prompt aging brains to begin to ‘think and react,’ younger.
Tired Brains Snap Awake! “It helps tired, forgetful brains to ‘snap awake,” says Dr. Steiner. “This natural memory pill is to your aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs,” he says. It works so well, explains Steiner, that the participants in a peer-reviewed, international research study not only saw improvements in their memory, mood and concentration, but they also regained lost brainpower equal to that of someone 15 years younger, all in a 30-day time period! This made perfect sense to Dr. Steiner, who knew instinctively that age-related memory problems may be correctable.
After the Show
Seniors are more concerned about memory loss and mental decline than they are about death, itself, according to a new survey. Dr. Steiner’s guest that night, US researcher, Josh Reynolds, observed a common ‘disturbance’ in aging brains, one that may be the primary cause of degrading memory and concentration powers.
Gasping for Air? He saw evidence that older brains were ‘gasping for additional oxygen,’ a condition caused by poor blood circulation. “Insufficient circulation,” says Steiner, “reduces oxygen to the brain, a sign of premature mental decline. This also restricts the supply of critical brain specific antioxidants and nutrients.”
After the show, Dr. Steiner confided to his guest that he was fearful of not being able to recall certain subject matter for his popular radio show. “He gave me a couple of bottles and instructed me on its use,” says Dr. Steiner. “Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear!”
Feeding an Older Brain The formula helps oxygenate listless brain cells to revitalize and protect them from free radicals caused by stress and toxins. It also helps restore depleted neurotransmitter levels, while feeding the aging mind with brain-specific nutrients and protective antioxidants. Steiner was so impressed that he began recommending the formula to his pharmacy customers. “I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!”
For years, pharmacists told disappointed patients that memory loss was inevitable. A new, drug-free cognitive formula helps improve mind, mood, and memory in as little as 30 days.
Pharmacy Best-Seller “It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.” “It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula.” “A rookie doctor right out of medical school can set a broken bone, or treat a rash or runny nose,” explains Dr. Steiner. “But he is often clueless when it comes to helping a patient who can’t remember to take his medicine, or forgets where he’s parked his car, or even worse, foolishly leaves the oven on at night.” “With this simple, drug-free formula, we finally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective. And you don’t need a prescription either!” Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehensive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence examination, a daunting examination that tests a candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law. “I began taking the natural memory compound for two weeks prior to the test, and I passed with flying colors!” “The recall I personally experienced was fantastic,” says Steiner. Many front-line healthcare professionals are embracing this natural remedy for three reasons.
First, the formula was submitted to the rigors of a placebo-controlled, randomized, double-blind clinical trial, using the same FDA-sanctioned brain testing protocols used to qualify prescription-sold cognitive medicines. “The findings for improved brain function were shocking,” says Steiner. Then, the results were shared with the world in a well-respected, peer-reviewed medical journal. Pharmacist of the Year, Gene Steiner, PharmD, was so impressed with his newfound memory powers that he recommended the patented, prescription-free memory formula to his pharmacy patients with great success.
#1 Selling Brain Health Pill Thirdly, this natural, memory-boosting wonder has passed the toughest yardstick of all – scrutiny from the US consumer. Word has spread; in a very short time, Reynolds’ memory-booster has quickly become the #1-selling brain health supplement in the United States. Dr. Steiner estimates that as much as 10 million single-doses have been used with excellent results by ‘lots of forgetful folks.’ Users like Selwyn Howell* agree. He credits the memory

compound with bolstering his confidence. “It helped me speak out more than I used to. I am growing more confident every day.” Carey S.* reports, “I feel so much more focused and with the new energy I’m now ready to tackle the things I’ve been putting off for years!” Elizabeth K.* of Rochester, New York experienced a nightand-day difference in her mind and memory. At the age of 54, her memory was declining at an “alarming rate.” “I was about to consult a neurologist when I read a newspaper article about it.” “It took about a month for the memory benefit to kick in. Six months later, even my husband was impressed with my improved memory. And I am very happy with my renewed mental clarity and focus!” “I highly recommend it,” says Dr. Steiner. “This drugfree compound is the perfect supplement for increasing one’s brain power. If it worked for me, it can work for you!”

Get Fuzzy

your soul. But if it seems to help people around you, it’s good enough. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Regarding that someone you used to admire because he or she was older, smarter and wiser: You may now get the sense that you’ve caught up in spite of your difference in years. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Again you’ll be plagued by the desire for perfection. Shun it! The imperfection you deliver with your whole heart is worth so much more than a mindful and flawless contribution. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be part of a contest of sorts. The prizes are status-oriented only, and that’s enough to fill your belly with a burning fire to win -- or if you can’t win, to do your very best. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 13). It’s a rediscovery process this year, as you explore who you are outside of relationships and change who you are inside of them. December brings the tools you need to complete an impressive job. February brings acclaim. You’ll appreciate the inheritance you receive in June. It may not be financial, but it’s valuable. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 24, 39, 11 and 15.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you think about what would be novel and fun, you’ll create the kind of moments that people will look back on and say, “Remember when we...” This is a gift beyond anything material you could give. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Like bearing audio witness to a neighbor’s incessantly barking dog, you’ll be privy to a situation that necessitates a (possibly unpleasant) confrontation to resolve. You’re up to it, though, and your involvement will bring solutions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your energy will be high, and that could cause you to look for extra things to do. Try to stick to your main purpose, though, because if you apply yourself, you’ll make such gains that you’ll be able to take a long break later in the week. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Understanding your brain’s quirky logic will help you realize that your problem isn’t entirely your fault. Your brain just has developed some strange ways to keep you away from pain and steer you toward pleasure. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Envy is not such a bad thing to feel. When you’ve lost motivation toward a goal, a source of envy may be just the thing to renew your energy reserves. If it works, use it! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you allow yourself the liberty, you’ll spend the whole day doing only what you want to do. It goes against everything in your work ethic, and yet if the “you” inside is sick from neglect, who will be left to do the work? LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Plan as you will, this day is not as set as you think it is. An unexpected curve will force you to turn with it or fly off the road when there is no more of it. You’ll have a lot of fun with this. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your daring is not required to do your work, and yet you’ll miss out greatly if you don’t apply it. You’ll come to a place in a project where not taking the chance will be a greater risk than taking it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You would be hard-pressed to separate what you’re doing out of conditioning from what you’re doing out of a true desire to express

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Nov. 13, the 317th day of 2013. There are 48 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 13, 1982, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, designed by Maya Lin, was dedicated on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. On this date: In 1312, England’s King Edward III was born at Windsor Castle. In 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote in a letter to a friend, Jean-Baptiste Leroy: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” In 1849, voters in California ratified the state’s original constitution. In 1909, 259 men and boys were killed when fire erupted inside a coal mine in Cherry, Ill. In 1927, the Holland Tunnel opened to the public, providing access between lower Manhattan and New Jersey beneath the Hudson River. In 1937, the NBC Symphony Orchestra, formed exclusively for radio broadcasting, made its debut. In 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure lowering the minimum draft age from 21 to 18. In 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down laws calling for racial segregation on public city and state buses. In 1969, speaking in Des Moines, Iowa, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew accused network television news departments of bias and distortion, and urged viewers to lodge complaints. In 1971, the U.S. space probe Mariner 9 went into orbit around Mars. In 1974, Karen Silkwood, a technician and union activist at the Kerr-McGee Cimarron plutonium plant near Crescent, Okla., died in a car crash while on her way to meet a reporter. In 1985, some 23,000 residents of Armero, Colombia, died when a volcanic mudslide buried the city. Ten years ago: Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who had refused to remove his granite Ten Commandments monument from the state courthouse, was thrown off the bench by a judicial ethics panel for having “placed himself above the law.” Eric Gagne of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the National League Cy Young Award. Five years ago: A wind-driven fire erupted in Southern California; the blaze destroyed more than 200 homes in Santa Barbara and neighboring Montecito. Investors did an abrupt turnaround on Wall Street, muscling the Dow Jones industrial average up more than 550 points after three straight days of selling. One year ago: The Pentagon said it was looking into more than 20,000 pages of documents and emails between Marine Gen. John Allen and Florida socialite Jill Kelley. (Kelly had reportedly received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell, the biographer who had an affair with Gen. David Petraeus.) A week after winning a ninth full term in Congress, Jesse Jackson Jr. left the Mayo Clinic, where he had been treated for bipolar disorder. The Chicagoarea Democrat had rarely appeared in public since taking medical leave in June.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 13, 2013— Page 21
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been married for more than 20 years and have never been sexually attracted to my husband. He is a good provider, but there is no passion, no excitement, nothing. I have tried everything I can think of to make sex better, but he acts as if it’s part of my wifely duties, which makes me sick. I don’t want to break up our home, but I’m in love with a passionate man who just rocks my world. He kisses me, and I forget my name. Our affair has lasted four years. Why can’t I keep them both? -- Torn in Tulsa Dear Torn: It seems you’ve been doing exactly that for four years, but obviously, it’s not enough. Please stop living a dual life and figure out what you want. If there are young children, you owe it to them to work on your marriage. Get into joint counseling so your husband can work on his Neanderthal attitude toward women and so you can see whether passion can be ignited. If you believe sex is the most important aspect of a marriage, divorce your husband so you can be with Rocks Your World. But having it both ways isn’t working, and you’ll feel better when you deal with this more honestly. Dear Annie: I was sexually abused by an uncle when I was 12. I am now 35 and expect to see him at an upcoming family reunion. After all these years, I finally wrote him a letter. He will never read it. When he dies, I want to place it in his casket. I hope you will let me share my thoughts: Dear Uncle: I have a few things that I’ve waited a long time to tell you. Now that you are dead, I am finally happy. I am happy you are burning in hell. God has given me justice. While others are mourning your death, I am celebrating. I will never forgive you for what you did. You stole my childhood from the moment you laid hands on me when I was a 12-year-
old child. Your own niece. When I was a child, I used to think you were a great uncle. I trusted you, respected you, looked up to you, loved you the way a niece should. And when you betrayed me, I was shattered, and I never looked at you the same way. I have waited a long time for your death so that I could go to your funeral and watch you being lowered into your grave. You are a total disgrace. You are nothing to me. God never should have created you. You had no purpose in life other than to hurt children. You are pathetic. Now that you are dead, I can finally be at peace knowing that you will never again hurt a child. -- Still Suffering Dear Still: Thank you for composing a letter that obviously came from a very wounded place. Please don’t wait until your uncle is dead to warn your other relatives and report him to the authorities. Your courage to speak up could protect other children who come into contact with this predator. And for you and anyone else who has suffered through abuse, please contact RAINN (rainn.org) at 1-800-656-HOPE for support, encouragement and help. Dear Annie: You printed a letter from “Humiliated Wife,” who said her husband seems to be overly interested in a classmate from his 50th high school reunion. You said her husband is in his “late 70s.” Your math is seriously off. My 50th high school reunion is this year, and I’m 67. There’s no way he would be older unless he was held back a few years. -- I Can Add Dear Add: You are right that we could use a remedial math class. But the advice stands. If the man suddenly ogles every woman and can’t keep his hands off the waitresses, he needs to see his doctor.
