YearRound Library will ask Gilmanton voters for $52,500 By gAil oBeR
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILMANTON — The Board of Directors for the YearRound Public Library has decided to ask the town for $52,500 for operating costs for 2014. Association President Anne Kirby said yesterday the board met earlier this week and decided to commit to privately raising $18,000 of the annual operating budget of $70,500. “We want to show good faith,” she said. “We thought we could raise the $18,000.” The $52,500 will be petitioned on to the annual town warrant for 2014. The March vote on the matter will be the second election for Gilmanton since the taxpayers voted in 2012 to adopt the provisions of RSA 40:13 or the Official Ballot — commonly referred to as SB-2. In 2013, voters narrowly rejected a petitioned warrant article for $45,000 for operation expenses at the privately constructed Year-Round Library — the second time see LIBrary page 7

Rejection of Laconia chicken ordinance came as a shock By RogeR Amsden THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Planning Board’s rejection of an ordinance which would have permitted the keeping of chickens in residential zones in the city came as a surprise to supporters of the change, many of whom assumed that it since it had been endorsed by the Zoning Board last month that passage was assured.
But the board turned it down by a 6-2 vote Tuesday night following a public hearing at which no one testified on behalf of the proposed ordinance, which has been under discussion for months. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that Planning Board members cited concerns over smell, noise and the disposal of chicken manure in a lengthy discussion before voting down the proposal.
‘’I’m disappointed that it didn’t pass. I wasn’t able to go the meeting, so I don’t understand why they decided to vote it down. But it’s too bad that they did,’’ said Karen Barker of Lane Road, one of the founders of the Lakes Region Food Network who has been in the forefront of efforts to ease restrictions on raising chickens. Barker said that she hopes to renew the see CHICKENs page 6

3DAYFORECAST
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire residents with individual insurance plans through Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield are getting more time to renew their policies. Anthem recently notified 22,000 customers that their plans were being discontinued because they don’t comply with the Affordable Care Act. But consumers also can renew their policies for one year. The deadline to do that had been Friday, but Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny says the deadline is being extended to Nov. 30. In the face of a public uproar, Obama change course Thursday and said he would take administrative action to let insurance companies continue selling such plans for at least another year. Sevigny said he is still reviewing what that means for New Hampshire.

Michigan homeowner charged with deadly porch shooting DEARBORN HEIGHTS, Mich. (AP) — A suburban Detroit homeowner was charged Friday with second-degree murder in the death of a 19-year-old woman who was shot in the face while on his front porch nearly two weeks ago. Theodore P. Wafer, 54, of Dearborn Heights, also faces a manslaughter charge in the death of Renisha McBride, who was killed in the early-morning hours on Nov. 2, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said. Police say McBride, a former high school cheerleader, was shot a couple hours after
being involved in a nearby car accident. Family members say she likely approached Wafer’s home for help. The shooting has drawn attention from civil rights groups who called for a thorough investigation and believe race was a factor in the shooting — McBride was black; prosecutors said Wafer is white. Some have drawn comparisons between this case and that of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old Florida boy shot in 2012 by a suspicious neighbor. But Worthy insisted Friday that race
wasn’t relevant in her decision to file charges and wouldn’t compare the case to Martin’s death. “It’s always interesting to me what the public makes their decisions on when it comes to one way or another,” Worthy said. “In this case, the charging decision has nothing whatever to do with the race of the parties. Whether it becomes relevant later on in the case, I don’t know. I’m not clairvoyant,” she said. What happened between when McBride see PORCH page 6
WASHINGTON (AP) — Brushing aside a White House veto threat, the Republicancontrolled House voted by a healthy bipartisan majority Friday to weaken a core component of “Obamacare” and permit the sale of individual health coverage that falls short of requirements in the law. In all, 39 Democrats broke ranks and supported the legislation, a total that underscored the growing importance of
the issue in the weeks since millions of cancellation notices went out to consumers covered by plans deemed inadequate under government rules. The final vote was 261-157 as lawmakers clashed over an issue likely to be at the heart of next year’s midterm elections. The measure faces an uncertain fate in the Senate, where Democrats seeking re-election in 2014 are leading a move for gener-
ally similar legislation. “For the last six weeks the White House stood idly by ignoring the pleas of millions,” said Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and lead sponsor of the legislation. “Our straightforward, one-page bill says, if you like your current coverage, you should be able to keep it.

TORONTO (AP) — Toronto Mayor Rob Ford vowed Friday to take City Council to court after it voted overwhelmingly to strip him of some of his powers over his admitted drug use, public drinking and increasingly erratic behavior. Then, in a flash of remorse, the 44-year-old
Ford declared: “If I would have had a mayor conducting themselves the way I have, I would have done exactly the same thing.” The motion, approved in a 39-3 vote, suspends Ford’s authority to appoint and dismiss the deputy mayor and his executive committee, which runs the budget process.
The council also voted to give the deputy mayor authority to handle any civic emergency. The effort is to continue Monday when the council moves to strip the mayor of most of his remaining powers. The votes capped another frenzied week see TORONTO page 10

State Senator Jeanie Forrester
Let’s get behind the N.H. solution to providing health care for low income residents On November 7th, the Legislature began a two-week special legislative session to address the issue of health care for low-income New Hampshire residents*. If you’ve been reading the newspapers, you probably know that this is a policy issue that has consumed much of our time this year and rightfully so. The question of Medicaid expansion was among the most contentious issues discussed during this year’s budget negotiations. You may recall that the governor included Medicaid expansion in her version of the budget but Senate Republicans removed the language and replaced it with a commission (Medicaid Expansion Study Commission) that called for a thoughtful, deliberative study of the issue before moving forward. (In at least three situations where Medicaid was expanded in New Hampshire in the past — 1989, 1992, and 1994), there was a five-month deliberative process — SB-195, SB-319, SB-774 respectively.) Chief among our concerns about moving forward too hastily was the intentional act of putting more lives into an already broken Medicaid system and the potential for N.H. being forced to institute an income tax to pay for this very large expense if federal funding disappears. This issue was too important not to have a full study and public hearings. With that provision removed, Senate Republicans led the way in passing a balanced budget with no new taxes, no new fees, and limited spending. I was pleased that our budget lived up to conservative principles and passed both bodies of the legislature on a nearly unanimous vote and signed into law by the governor. The Medicaid Expansion Study Commission recently completed its work and while the commission offered a number of important ideas, what they offered, and what is now being offered as the House proposal (Special Session House Bill 1) is a not a New Hampshire solution. After much research, we continue to believe that growing the Medicaid entitlement and accepting a Washington one-size fits all plan will not only provide substandard health care for the uninsured, it will also break our budget and lead to a broad-based tax. While the House plan contemplates a private sector option, it does little to protect taxpayers in the long-term and does not included necessary deadlines that will make reform a reality. Instead of being led by Washington, the Senate took the initiative and sought out health care experts and asked them to work with us to create a viable plan for how we can work through the private market to get coverage for low-income residents who struggle to afford health insurance coverage. The result of
that collaborative effort is the New Hampshire Health Protection Program and Special Session Senate Bill 1. This program will protect N.H. taxpayers, it will support our state’s medical providers, and it will provide high quality insurance to thousands of N.H. residents who lack it today. This proposed legislation will increase access to private insurance coverage for upwards of 58,000 lowincome New Hampshire residents. By maximizing available federal dollars, we will provide better coverage for our citizens than would be offered under Medicaid and we can do so with a program design that will provide rock solid protections for New Hampshire taxpayers. Moreover, unlike Medicaid expansion, our private option plan will not grow government. Unlike Medicaid expansion, our private option plan will not leave taxpayers on the hook for millions of dollars in new costs over the next 10 years. And unlike Medicaid expansion, our private option plan will require co-pays, deductibles, and limits to those folks receiving this coverage. The plan we are presenting has received support from health experts in New Hampshire and we are pleased with their support. But make no mistake, for the N.H. Health Protection Plan to work, it will require our governor to roll up her sleeves and work with us to get this done. I have no doubt that Governor Hassan has the influence and ability to make this happen and we all look forward to working with her on this critically important issue. The New Hampshire Health Protection Plan is a plan that is right for N.H., and could be the model for health care reform. Many, many thanks to all those citizens who volunteered their time and expertise, who stepped up to the plate and were willing to work with us to create a plan that provides better health insurance for low-income N.H. citizens, better payments to the health care providers, and protects NH taxpayers. I urge you to review the proposed legislation at http:// www.gencourt.state.nh.us/legislation/2013/SSSB0001.html then call the governor at 271.2121 and ask her to support the New Hampshire Health Protection Program — the New Hampshire solution.

LETTERS Aren’t we supposed to be asking what we can do for our country? To The Daily Sun, “Ask not what you can do for your country; ask what your country can do for you.” Now I know there are a handful of readers saying; “He has misquoted John F. Kennedy.” For those of you out there who can remember what the real quote was; yes I did and I know it. I did so because I believe that too many Americans, from all socioeconomic walks of life, now believe that our local, state and federal governments owe them whatever it is that they want in life. This also includes many of our government officials who are supposedly representing our common good but seem to be more interested in their own. The “War on Poverty” declared in the sixties continues to this day, making it the longest war on record and the most expensive. Speaking of war, the first Federal Income Tax was instituted in 1861 to help fund The Civil War. It went away but returned in 1913 permanently (the 16th amendment) and continues to grow each year. In the early 1930s, “social insurance” was introduced during to the Great Depression. It was to help when the poverty rate was over 50 percent for senior citizens at that time. In 1935 The Social Security Act became law and through continuous amendments, it morphed into what we have today. It has expanded since its creation to provide a pension for everyone over the age of 62. Most paid into it for years, and is now a source of income to MANY with a disability, or injury. Many collect who have never contributed a dime to fund it, and it is even provided to some illegal immigrants. How long can it last? You can now obtain power chairs, nebulizers, catheters, oxygen, diabetes glucose testing monitors, and even
adult diapers “...at little or no cost to you, and delivered discreetly to your door.” And you wonder why Medicare and Medicaid are going bankrupt. There is presently a cadre of lawyers prepared to represent you; to sue drug companies for just about any prescription drug ever made that you may have taken. What’s next; suing the doctors who prescribed it to you? Won’t that help stabilize and bring down the cost of health care! And speaking of health care costs, we are continuing toward total socialized medicine with “Obamacare.” What started out as a program to provide medical insurance to those people without it (even those who didn’t want it) has become a nightmare to many people who had it to begin with. Instead of fixing a problem, it has expanded it! As the number of people, companies and corporations collecting these government freebies continues to increase, where does/will the money come from to fund them? Why yes — it comes from those people with personal responsibility, pride and who work hard to remain self reliant and disciplined. Sadly, it appears that the number of people footing the bill is quickly decreasing while those collecting increases with each passing day. “Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” What a concept! Will this mindset ever return? Will the American people ever look back into history to see how this country became great? Or will the insidious government dependence continue to grow, eventually and inevitably destroying our democracy? Have a nice day! Ken Knowlton Belmont

LETTERS Obamacare was & is intended to wipe out the middle class To The Daily Sun, Obamacare-Success or Failure? Some would say that Obamacare is a failure because of the website problems and the broken promises of Obama. I believe it is a huge success for the following reasons which have also been expressed by others: Obamacare was and is intended to bring about the Marxist dream of redistribution of wealth. THE DESTRUCTION OF CAPITALISM. The “makers” will pay for the “takers”. This will occur through higher premiums for the “makers” and substantially higher taxes on that group. It was never intended to help the sick, lower health care costs or to reduce the debt or expand the economy. Obamacare was and is intended to wipe out the middle class and make them dependent on government. Take note of the IRS prediction that families will need to pay $20,000 per year for health insurance by 2016. They will be unable to afford these costs and will have to go to “Big Brother” for health care. Obamacare was and is intended to bankrupt small businesses that represent 75 percent of contributions to Republican candidates. Small businesses are seeing their rates increase by two, three and four times. Obamacare is written to bankrupt the opposition. Obamacare makes the IRS all powerful. They will control 16 percent of
the economy. Do you want the IRS to have such power? You need to think about the scandal of the IRS intimidation and persecution of conservative groups and others who disagreed with Obama’s policies. Obamacare, by some reports, will cause 93 million people to lose their insurance. Where will they go? To the government for insurance thus getting closer to a single payer (socialized medicine) system which is exactly what Obama has said he would like to have. Remember, Obama’s mentor during his formative years was Franklin Marshall Davis, a card carrying member of the U.S. Communist Party and Obama’s hero is Saul Alinsky, a radical Marxist intent on destroying capitalism. Alinsky’s stated advice to those who wanted to succeed in their Marxist endeavor was to call the other guy “a terrorist” and say that they are ruining America to divert attention away from what the Marxist group is doing. Sound familiar? They call the Tea Party terrorists! Also take note of how they are devastating the job market with the Obamacare mandates. I wish the Republican Party would get out and spread the word as to the true intent of Obamacare instead of being so stupid, naive and cowardly. You can never go wrong when you speak the truth even if it hurts. WAKE UP AMERICA! Vince Merola Wolfeboro

I have been blessed with all the senior citizens I see each day To The Daily Sun, Right now, today, we still live in a mostly free nation. How long it will remain that way, one can never tell. I am blessed with having been born in a time when one could leave their home unlocked, keys in the car, and money laying around on the table, and know that it all would be right where you left it when you got back to using it. No, this is not a dream, but a long ago reality, before the government got into your homes and told you how to raise your kids. Once the government got control of your household, like everything else the government does, the poop hit the fan and the family became non functional, but I am not here to tell you what’s wrong with the nation, you already know what’s wrong, only you gave up your rights to raise your family the way it should be raised, so be it. Everyday, I read the letters to the editor, and everyday some one is calling the kettle black. So sad. If the editor sees fit to print this letter, I would like to tell you how much I have been blessed. This year, I lost a brother and a sister, a blessing for one and a shock for the other, but so far I am still healthy and still trying to help my fellow senior citizens keep their independence. I don’t have much, but some of them have even less. I have been blessed by knowing a 97-year-old lady, who served as a “Grammy” at the Elm Street School, volunteered her time at the Taylor
Home, walked faster than some 50-year-olds, and was a source of useful information. A true gem of a person who the Lord saw fit to make her slow down with a slight stroke this summer. I have been blessed with all the senior citizens I see daily and learned how hard it was during the Great Depression years and why they are able to cope with shortages while the younger people cannot. One can truly learn from these wonderful seniors, if you take the time to listen. I am sure that the head honcho meant well by ordering everyone to have health insurance, and somehow, the seniors will cope with that as well by sticking together. Before you go all shouting “woe is me...woe is me”, count your blessings. See if you can get along without that new iPad and every other new piece of junk hitting the market daily. Count your blessings that you do not have to eat canned pet food as some seniors are forced to do because they only get an allotment of $16 a month for food stamps. Lastly, count your blessings that you have enough heat while some seniors are going to freeze this winter because it was prescription or heat and they opt for the medication to try and stay alive. Reward yourself by living within your means, and if it in your power, check on that senior who lives next door who all they may need, is a kind word. Bev Buker Gilford

The Troop 68 Boy Scout club house located in the parking lot behind St. Joseph Church and Holy Trinity Catholic School in Laconia has been the target of several incidents of vandalism in recent weeks. (Courtesy photo)
CLUB HOUSE from page one tee Chair Tara Shore said that incident of vandalism was “much worse” than the previous one. Canfield said the vandals broke a window to get access and again sprayed the fire extinguishers. He said this time they even sprayed a closet. He also said they turned over the tables and broke some plaques that were hanging on the wall. He said a tent was stolen. Shore said yesterday that members have noticed some unusual activities at the club house that occurred during the past six month that included some missing food. Canfield also said he spoke to Rev.
Mark Drouin — the pastor of St. Andre Bessette Parish, who told him one of locks on a storage shed on the property were broken earlier this week but that it wasn’t reported to police at the time. Shore said Troop 68 will be celebrating its 75th year of service to Laconia and its boys and they hope to be able to hold the festivities at the club house. She said they are all working hard to repair it and get it ready for the celebration. If anyone has any information about the burglaries and vandalism or sees any suspicious activity in the area they are asked to call 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.
CHICKENS from page one push for changing the ordinance. The proposed ordinance change which would have permitted the keeping of chickens in the residential single-family (RS), residential general (RG) and shorefront residential (SFR) districts. A special exception to the ordinance, granted by the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA), would be required. Last month the Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 4-1 to support the proposal, which was prepared by the Zoning Task Force headed by Suzanne Perley, which had studied the proposal since last spring. Perley said that she was surprised by the Planning Board’s vote. ‘’I expected it would at least get to the City Council (the next step). Now it’s dead in the water,’’ said Perley, who during the course of studying the proposal spoke with officials in all the other cities in the state that have adopted similar ordinances and found that none had experienced significant problems. ‘’We got a lot of input on the proposed change,’’ said Perley, who said that there appeared to be ‘’a little confusion over the process,’’ and wishes that she had conveyed more of the information the task force had gathered directly to the Planning Board, She said that as of now the task force has no intention of revisiting the proposed ordinance unless asked to do so by the City Council. The proposed ordinance, modeled on one adopted by Concord two years ago, would have permitted keeping
not more than five hens — but no roosters, capons or guinea hens — for the sole use of the household in the specified districts by special exception. The breeding of chickens and sale of eggs were prohibited. Nor could chickens be slaughtered on the premisses. Chickens would be kept in coops placed in rear or side yards at least 10 feet from the primary residence and 20 feet from any lot line. Chickens would not be allowed to roam free. Not more than three cubic feet of droppings, stored in a closed container, could be kept at one time. Chicken coops could not be located and chicken manure could not be stored within the 50 feet of the Shoreland Protection Overlay District, which includes all land within 250 feet of the high water mark of public waters, or within any wetland or wetland buffer. The current ordinance restricts the keeping of livestock, including poultry, to four districts — the commercial resort (CR), airport industrial (AI) and rural residential I and II (RRI, RRII) districts — effectively excluding chickens from the most densely populated parts of the city. The zoning task force explained at public hearings held by the ZBA that requiring a special exception to keep chickens would effectively create a register. Applicants would have to pay a $125 fee and demonstrate that that the use meets eight criteria, including that keeping chickens will not impair the interests or character of the neighborhood. Barker says that she believes that see next page

while the total assessed valuation rose by $1,821,284, or 0.4-percent, from $466,188,570 to $468,009,854. The town tax decreased from $5.50 to $5.24 and the county tax from $1.49 to $1.32 while the local school tax increased from $14.10 to $14.31 and the state education tax from $2.47 to $2.63.
LIBRARY from page one its four-year history that the request failed. The first time was in 2009, which was the year the facility across Rte. 140 from the town school opened. The Year-Round Library is a 501(c) (3) incorporated non-for-profit business. It is governed by an 11-person board of directors and is audited annually. After voters rejected the warrant article in 2013, library directors and supporters mounted a fund-raising campaign and have been able to keep the library open. Kirby said they have raised enough money to stay open until March of 2014. In an recent letter to the editor, Kirby wrote that the library won’t be able to stay open without some town support. “But the reality is, to stay open past March 2014 we need your help. It is imperative that the library be recognized as a town-supported community resource,” she wrote. There is a $125,000 endowment and a portion of that is used to offset utilities. All totaled Kirby estimated the Year-Round Library costs about $120,000 annually to operate with all by $70,500 offset by numerous volunteer labor. Kirby said yesterday that the board of directors knows there are grants available, however the library won’t qualify without some town financial support. When asked, she said the board has
had no recent official communications with the Selectboard. She said there has been some efforts to coordinate some of their activities with the Gilmanton Library Trustees who manage the seasonal library in the Iron Works portion of town and the Gilmanton Library that is at the “four corners”. “There was an earlier attempt to come up with a joint E-books project but it was just too expensive,” she said. “My hope is that some day we can figure out a way to provide the best library services to the residents of Gilmanton,” Kirby continued. She said the Year-Round Library has become a part of the community. According to Kirby there are 1,500 card holders and 22 after-school programs for children. So far this year, there have been 10,023 transactions and 6,448 total visitors including children, teens, and adults. One-thousand nine-hundred and ninety-seven people have participated in the programs at the YearRound Library that include Story Time, Teen Night, a Loon Program, Bear Program and Bobcat Program, and a Food Festival. The Year Round Library offered a day care program for children whose parents attended the 2013 Town Meeting Deliberative Session. On Thursday, because it is American Education Week, Kirby said there is a teacher appreciation reception during the late afternoon to honor staff at the Gilmanton Elementary School.
PORCH from page one crashed into a parked vehicle several blocks north of Wafer’s Dearborn Heights neighborhood and the shooting remains unclear. Police received a 911 call from Wafer about 4:42 a.m., in which he tells the dispatcher: “I just shot somebody on my front porch with a shotgun, banging on my door.” They found McBride’s body on the porch. Evidence shows McBride knocked
on the locked screen door, Worthy said, and there was no forced entry. The interior front door was open, and Wafer fired through “the closed and locked screen door,” said Worthy, who declined to discuss details about the investigation. “We do not believe he acted in lawful self-defense,” she added. Under a 2006 Michigan self-defense law, a homeowner has the right to use force during a break-in. Otherwise, a person must show that his or her life was in danger. Wafer was arraigned Friday afternoon on the murder and manslaughter charges as well as a felony weapons charge. A probable cause hearing was set for Dec. 18. One of Wafer’s lawyers, Matt Carpenter told the judge his “client has see next page

Chris Shipp promoted to captain of Laconia Fire Dept. LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson yesterday announced the promotion of Lieutenant Chris Shipp to captain and of senior firefighter Jay Ellingson to lieutenant. The promotions followed the earlier promotion of Captain Kirk Beattie to assistant chief. Shipp, who joined the department in 1995 and was promoted to lieutenant in 2001, will be assigned to the Weirs Beach Station where he will directly supervise his platoon and oversee the three others, altogether managing all 12 firefighters posted to the
station. Among the first paramedics in the department, Shipp has a degree in liberal arts as well as emergency medicine and fire science. Off hours, he serves as a selectman in Moultonborough. Ellingson will also be assigned to the Weirs Beach Station. Earning numerous certifications and several citations during his 12 years with the department, he has served as an acting officer when necessary for the past few years. — Michael Kitch
from preceding page very strong defense.” Asked later about the defense, Carpenter said, “Because of the time, her condition.” A toxicology report released Thursday showed McBride, a 2012 Southfield High School graduate, had a blood alcohol content of about 0.22, more than twice the legal limit for driving. Her blood also tested positive for the active ingredient in marijuana. Wafer is a 10-year employee at a local airport and has a clean record except for having been in court for past drunken-driving cases, Carpenter said. Wafer’s brick bungalow is located in northeast Dearborn Heights, a town adjacent to Detroit and a diverse area that’s home to white, black and Arab-American residents. The neighborhood consists mostly of wellkept bungalows and small ranches, and is near a community college campus and a mosque. A neighbor told
the AP this week that Wafer lived alone. Civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, have held numerous local rallies and vigils since Nov. 2, and protesters have compared the case to the death of Martin, who was black and unarmed. Neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was acquitted in July of second-degree murder. On Friday, the Detroit branch of the NAACP applauded the charges filed against Wafer. “Often, many of us are very anxious and impatient when it comes to justice being equally applied in every situation,” the group said in a statement. “This particular case had the appearance that it might have been headed down the same road. While no trial has been held, and Mr. Wafer has yet to be brought before the court, anxiety is still high as the jury is still a long way out.”

China to ease 1-child policy & abolish labor camps BEIJING (AP) — China’s leaders announced Friday the first significant easing of its one-child policy in nearly 30 years and moved to abolish its labor camp system — addressing deeply unpopular programs at a time when the Communist Party feels increasingly alienated from the public. Beijing also pledged to open state-dominated industries wider to private competition and ease limits on foreign investment in e-commerce and other businesses in a sweeping reform plan aimed at rejuvenating a slowing economy. The extent of the long-debated changes to the family planning rules and the labor camp system surprised some analysts. They were contained in a policy document issued after a four-day meeting of party leaders one year after Xi Jinping took the country’s helm. “It shows the extent to which Xi is leading the agenda. It shows this generation of leaders is able to make decisions,” said Dali Yang, a China expert at the University of Chicago. “This is someone who’s much more decisive, who has the power, and who has been able to maneuver to make the decisions.” Far from sweeping away all family planning rules, the party is now providing a new, limited exemption: It said families in which at least one parent was an only child would be allowed to have a second child. Previously, both parents had to be an only child to qualify for this exemption. Rural couples also are allowed two children if their first-born child is a girl, an exemption allowed in 1984 as part of the last substantive changes to the policy. Beijing says the policy, which was introduced in 1980 and is widely disliked, has helped China by slowing population growth and easing the strain on water and other limited resources. But the abrupt fall in the birth rate is pushing up average age of the population of 1.3 billion people. Demographers have argued that this has created a looming crisis by limiting the size of the young labor pool that must support the large baby boom generation as it retires. “It’s great. Finally the Chinese government is officially acknowledging the demographic challenges it is facing,” said Cai Yong, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “Although this is, relatively speaking, a small step, I think it’s a positive step in the right direction and hope that this will be a transition to a more relaxed policy and eventual return of reproductive freedom to the Chinese people,” Cai said. The government credits the one-child policy introduced in 1980 with preventing hundreds of millions of births and helping lift countless families out of poverty. But the strict limits have led to forced abortions and sterilizations by local officials, even though such measures are illegal. Couples who flout the rules face hefty fines, seizure of their property and loss of their jobs.
Lisbon man gets 2-4 years in Grafton Co. hunting death NORTH HAVERHILL, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire hunter has been sentenced to two to four years after being convicted of negligent homicide in the shooting death of a Massachusetts man in 2011. Fifty-year-old Wade Holmes of Lisbon also had been convicted of reckless conduct with a deadly weapon in the death of Kenneth Brunelle of Marlboro, Mass. Brunelle was unarmed and walking with his father and brother on opening day of firearm deer season when he was shot once and instantly killed. He had been carrying a video camera to document the hunt. The Caledonian Record reports Holmes remains free on bail pending an appeal to the New Hampshire Supreme Court. Holmes’ lawyer said the incident still haunts his client, who is internalizing his grief.

Skeletons found in Calif. desert believed to be missing family SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — Four skeletons found in shallow graves in the Southern California desert are believed those of a San Diego County family that vanished three years ago, police said Friday, resolving one mystery and raising a host of new questions about what happened to the seemingly happy couple and their two young sons. The McStay family — Joseph, 40, and his 43-yearold wife Summer, and their sons Gianni, 4, and Joseph Jr., 3 — were apparent homicide victims, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said. Police now will try to piece together what led the McStays to disappear and end up 100 miles from their home, not far off heavily traveled Interstate 15 connecting San Diego and Las Vegas. The family’s skeletal remains were found Monday by an off-road motorcyclist. “It’s not really the outcome we were looking for, but it gives us courage to know that they’re together and they’re in a better place,” said Joseph McStay’s brother, Michael, struggling to speak through tears as other family members sobbed at a news conference. “I know the sheriff’s and the FBI and everybody wants to bring this to justice,” he said. “I just want to know when it’s over. That’s all.” McMahon said investigators don’t know many details, including when the McStays were killed, how long the bodies had been in the desert and if they were killed there or elsewhere. Evidence at the scene included some clothing, but McMahon would
not say if authorities had found a weapon or whether a cause of death was determined. However, he said: “There is investigative evidence that is at the scene that will help complete the investigation.” The two graves, located about 50 yards off a dirt road, were 1- to 2-feet deep, and there were two bodies in each, McMahon said. Some of the bones had been dragged to the surface by animals, he added. He declined to say how the bodies were arranged in the graves. The parents’ identities were determined through dental records. Police are awaiting DNA testing on the other remains but believe the skeletons are those of the couple’s boys. The McStays disappeared without a trace from their home in Fallbroook, about 55 miles north of San Diego, in February 2010. There were no signs of forced entry at the home or in their SUV, which was found parked near the U.S.-Mexico border. Neither Joseph nor Summer had told family or friends they were leaving. When they were reported missing, authorities went to the home and found eggs that had rotted on the kitchen counter and two pet dogs in the backyard, indicating the family hadn’t prepared for an extended leave. Nothing was missing from the home, and the couple’s credit cards and tens of thousands of dollars in bank accounts never were touched.
TORONTO from page one of twists and turns in a scandal that has consumed Canada’s largest city and financial capital for months. Newly released court documents show the mayor became the subject of a police investigation after news reports surfaced in May that he had been caught on video smoking crack cocaine. In interviews with police, former staffers accused the mayor of frequently drinking, driving while intoxicated and making sexual advances toward a female staffer. Ford stirred up further controversy and even offended Toronto’s football team when he wore a team jersey while making a profanity-laced statement about the allegations Thursday. Most city councilors are frustrated by Ford’s refusal to step aside, but they lack the authority to force him from office unless he is convicted of a crime and jailed. Ford’s mood swings were on full display Friday as he defiantly vowed to fight the motion in court, then conceded he understood why the council took the measures. “I’m not mad at anybody. I take full responsibility,” Ford said. The mayor, a conservative who touts his efforts to curb public spending and keep taxes low, later made it clear he intends to seek re-election next year. “Councilors spoke today. The taxpayers of this great city will have their say Oct. 27,” Ford told a crush of reporters at City Hall, referring to next year’s municipal elections. Nearby, a few hecklers shouted, “Resign! Resign!” The mayor of North America’s fourth-largest city
said he didn’t care that many council members were laughing at him, noting he won a large mandate in the 2010 election and was laughed at for years as a councilman before being elected mayor. “They laughed at me for 13 years but fortunately 387,000 people never laughed at me. We’ll see what happens” the mayor said. Ford’s lawyer, Dennis Morris, accused the council of attempting an illegal “coup,” while his brother and adviser, councilman Doug Ford, called him “the mayor of the people” and said the rights of those who voted for him were being trampled. Friday’s vote came a day after yet another series of antics that outraged city councilors. “We need to take away his power for the good of the city,” said Councilor Denzil Minnan-Wong, a former ally. “The tide has turned and there are very few people that are prepared to defend him given his vulgar comments and his admission that not only does he takes drugs but that he seems to be comfortable drinking and getting behind the wheel.” On Thursday, Ford spouted an obscenity while denying that he pressured a female employee for oral sex, saying on live television that he was “happily married” and using crude language to assert that he enjoys enough oral sex at home. “If it wasn’t for that stupid comment he made yesterday no one would have thought this (the council’s action) was appropriate,” his attorney Morris told The Associated Press. “It was a turning point for public sympathy. That type of remark is never ever appropriate in public,” the attorney said, adding that the “media have been attacking him like jackals” and Ford “lost it.”

Common Core education criticized as well intended but insufficiently rigorous By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — A panel of critics of the Common Core State (education) Standards Initiative (CCSSI) preached primarily to the choir at a forum sponsored and hosted by the Belknap County Republican Committee that drew 65 people to the Beane Conference Center this week. Almost four years after the New Hampshire Board of Education adopted CCSSI — along with its counterparts in 44 others states — a groundswell of opposition is gathering momentum just over a year before students are due to be tested to the new standards. In July, New Hampshire Public Radio reported that the “backlash in other states hasn’t really caught on in New Hampshire,” where the issue “remains under the radar.” Two months later the Alton School Board voted three-to-two to reject CCSSI and in October, the Manchester school district, the largest in the state, followed suit when the school board voted 13 to 1 to develop its own standards. By now the debate is underway in numerous school districts around the state, including Nashua, the second largest, as well as in the Legislature, where a bill to jettison CCSSI has been filed. Alan Glassman, chairman of the county GOP, said that his aim in organizing the forum was to present the facts about an issue that has aroused as much confusion as concern. Two of the panelists — Sandra Stotsky and Jamie Gass — were veterans of the successful educational reforms introduced in Massachusetts between 1999 and 2003. Both said that they have testified against CCSSI in some 20 states. Stotsky, who recently retired after a long career in teaching and consulting, was among the 29 members of the committee that validated the CCSSI standards and was one of the five who dissented. She claimed that there were no teachers or English experts and only one mathematician among those who wrote the standards. The standards themselves, she described, as less rigorous than those of several states, including Massachusetts, and stressed that since they are not internationally benchmarked, they would do nothing to improve the competitiveness of American students. Stotsky feared that the standards would lower the performance of high school students two grade levels. While Gass shared Stotsky’s misgivings about the standards, he also expressed concern about how CCSSI was developed and introduced. Federal law, he noted, expressly forbids the federal government from imposing national educational standards. He said that CCSSI originated with the National Governor’s Association, with funding from private foundations, chiefly the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Although the Obama Administration inherited the program, it supplemented it with $4.3 billion in grants distributed among the states. Gass questioned the legitimacy of this approach, which circumvented the legislative process at both the federal and state levels, calling it “a horrendous misuse of the public trust.” Ann-Marie Banfield of Bedford, the educational liaison of Cornerstone Policy Research, addressed the privacy issues raised by CCSSI, noting that students will be required to complete questionnaires with 400 data points. She said that parents should be concerned about the nature of the information that will be collected as well as how it will be shared and used. Banfield noted that Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts, a Democrat, has written to the United States Department of Education to voice his concerns about encroachments of the privacy of students and their families. Representative Glenn Cordelli (R-Tuftonboro), the fourth panelist, recalled that the state board of education adopted CCSSI after only two public hearings, one attended by six people, within weeks of the standards being published. “The Legislature was cut out of the discussion,” he said. Cordelli anticipated that the Legislature will consider 10 bills dealing with CCSSI when it convenes in January, including at least one to repeal it and several addressing testing and privacy. Noting that the cost introducing CCSSI in New Hampshire has been estimated at $85-million, he said
Jamie Gass and Sandra Stotsky spoke of education reforms initiated in Massachusetts at a forum held at the Beane Conference Center in Laconia on Wednesday. The Belknap County Republican Committee sponsored the look at the Common Core Standards Initiative. (Alan Glassman photo)
that he has filed legislation to require a fiscal analysis. In response to a question from Norm Tregenza of Tuftonboro, a former state representative who said he has been following the issue through the publications of the John Birch Society, Gass said that CCSSI has nothing to do with the United Nations or Council on Foreign Relations. In fact, he reminded the audience that the impetus toward national standards began during the Reagan Administration. “These are peripheral concerns,” Stotsky remarked. Gass pictured the advocates of CCSSI as “misguided,” but insisted that “they are not trying to do harm. All the people who advocate this are not malevolent.” He explained that there has long been a rift among educators between those who favor fostering competencies to prepare students for employment and others preferring an academic approach marked by content, especially the classical disciplines of literature and history. The debate about CCSSI, he said, was the most recent manifestation of these differences. Patty Humphrey of Chichester, a staunch advocate
of local control of education policy, chided the panelists, particularly Stotsky, for endorsing the concept of national standards while rejecting CCSSI. Taking a more libertarian approach, she urged resistance to any and all federal intrusion in elementary and secondary education, which should be the responsibility of local communities. Stotsky replied that she thought it possible to employ “common standards,” but those of CCSSI. Doris Hohensee, the last panelist and longtime champion of home schooling, said that CCSSI was another assault on local control and parental rights and welcomed the mounting grassroots campaign against it. “It’s the mothers taking back local education,” she said.

Blue Star Mothers sponsoring Wreaths for Boscawen BOSCAWEN — The Blue Star Mothers of NH, sponsor of the program - Wreaths at Boscawen – would like help in placing wreaths in Sections 1K thru 1S and Section 3 (approx. 1,000 wreaths) on December 14, at the New Hampshire Veterans Cemetery starting at 10:30 a.m. The wreaths being placed are 12” and will have a red ribbon. The wreath-laying event will coincide with the day that the wreaths are placed on the graves at Arlington National Cemetery. This is an idea that started with a wish made by a Gold Star Family in 2007 that were facing their first Christmas without their son who is buried in Arlington National Cemetery, and was inspired by the wreaths placed at Arlington National Cemetery by the Worcester Wreath Company, the Blue Star Mothers of New Hampshire decided we needed to answer their Christmas wish.
Soldier’s Helpers once again will be on hand with refreshments and hot drinks. At noon the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) will hold a ceremony at the Circle of Flags in conjunction with Wreaths Across America. The ceremony coincides with similar ceremonies across the United States of America with placing ceremonial wreaths on the military service markers. The Gold Star Mothers will return on January 11, 2014 starting at 10 a.m. to help pick up all the wreaths and all are welcome to join. Donations are being accepted to help purchase the 12” Balsam Wreath with a four loop red bow. The wreaths cost is $6.50 and they are purchased locally and will be delivered to the NH Veterans Cemetery on December 14. To learn more about the Wreaths for Boscawen visit www.bluestarmothersofnh.org.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn
October waterfront sales report There were 15 waterfront homes sold in October 2013 at an average price of $1.1 million. There were eight sales over the million dollar mark with one exceeding the $2 million price tag. That’s a pretty good month in anyone’s book. This brings the year’s total thus far to 118 sales at an average price of $945,118 compared to 103 sales at $1,056,837 for the first ten months of 2012. That’s a 14 percent increase in total sales but a drop of 10 percent in the average sales price. The highest sale in October on the big lake was at 11 Mallard Way in Moultonborough. This Skiffington, Adirondack style home has 7,500 square feet of living space to get lost in, six bedrooms including the first floor master suite, eight baths, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, a great room with wood cathedral ceilings and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace, a family room in the basement, and a fabulous screen porch with its own fireplace. The home sits on a 1.1 acre level, well landscaped lot with 160’ of frontage with gorgeous long range sunset views. There’s plenty of dockage, a breakwater, and a heated three car garage for the toys. The property was listed at $2.799 million and sold at $2.6 million after only being on the market for one day. I presume it was listed with a ready and willing buyer in hand. It is currently assessed at $2,747,700. The median price sale was at 140 Scenic Drive in Gilford. This 3,675 square foot, open concept contemporary home has absolutely gorgeous views of the lake and the mountains beyond. It was built in 1972 and features five bedrooms, four baths, cathedral ceilings, stone fireplace, and a wonderful deck overlooking a great back yard. The house sits on a .72 acre lot with 190’ of frontage, a breakwater, and a double U-shaped dock. Fantastic frontage and a great location. This home did need a little TLC. It was listed back in Feb 2010 at $1.19 million and finally sold for $1.05 million after a total of 683 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $755,000. The lowest priced waterfront sold in October was at 902 Rattlesnake Island. This was really more about the lot as the 168 square foot cabin clearly wouldn’t hold much more than a box of
rattlesnakes. The .78 acre lot has 101 feet of frontage, a breakwater, and a dock. Now all you need is a sleeping bag. The property was listed at $105,000 and sold for $94,000 after 35 days on the market. It is assessed at $119,700. There were two sales on Winnisquam in October. The property at 87 Tucker Shore Road in Belmont sold after 925 days on the market. It was listed back in January 2011 for $369,900, was re-listed and reduced to $339,000 and sold at $323,000. It is currently assessed at $337,100. This property consists of a 1950s vintage, 1,056 square foot, three bedroom cottage on a .11 acre lot with 50’ of frontage and a dock. The other sale was at 76 Black Brook Road in Meredith . This 3,007 square foot contemporary home was built in 1902 but is thoroughly modern and tasteful. It has four bedrooms, two of which are suites, three and a half baths, two fireplaces, a cathedral ceiling living room, family room, and eat-in kitchen. The home sits on a beautifully landscaped, 1.77 acre lot with an amazing 300’ of frontage. This property was offered at $829,000 and sold for full price going under contract in just eight days. It is currently assessed at $672,900. There were three sales on Squam; 16 Grapevine Cove in Holderness at $385,000, 74 Mountain Ivy Lane in Holderness at $1,338,000, and 186 Metcalf Road in Sandwich for $1.9 million. The Metcalf Road property is a 1,800 square foot, three bed, two bath, farmhouse style home built in 2002 on a 2.9 acre lot with 373’ of frontage and two docks. There is a separate guest cottage with a bath, a large barn, plus a small outbuilding by the lakeside that houses a sauna. Sounds perfectly Squammie to me...

Tioga River Water Company partners with EPA’s WaterSense program GILFORD — Tioga River Water Company, the owner of Gilford Village Water System and Tioga River Water System, has teamed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) WaterSense program to help customers save water for future generations and reduce costs on their utility bills. WaterSense aims to save water by focusing on reducing water wasted indoors and outdoors. WaterSense is unique in that the program not only promotes easy water-saving practices, but the program also includes a product certification program. When a WaterSense label is advertised on the
packaging of a water fixture, customers are guaranteed that the product has been tested to ensure the product uses 20% less water and performs the same or better than similar models. To kick-off its partnership with the WaterSense program, Tioga River Corporation will soon be releasing details about a high-efficiency showerhead change out program to be offered to customers. “By offering WaterSense labeled showerheads to customers we are helping to ensure enough water for future generations and helping the community save money and resources”, said Norman Harris, III, Water System operator.

Crowd turns out to support Alton photographer
About 40 community members gathered for a pot-luck luncheon that took place on Sunday, November 10 from 1-3 p.m. at The American Legion in Alton.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s no question that you are talented, but what are you going to do with that talent? You’re starting to think that the way you applied it yesterday isn’t going to work in the future. Brainstorm new approaches. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Others relish in dark tales. You don’t. Sure, you’ve seen terrible things in your life. But you don’t talk about them, because you want people to leave you happier than they were when they came to you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If you rely too much on measurements and assessments, you will miss the intangible but alltoo-real evidence that something magical is occurring. If you’re very quiet, you may be able to read someone’s mind. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 16). The world is your school, and your interactions will earn you an advanced degree. The next seven weeks bring a problem to solve and a gleaming prize when you do. You’ll make deals with family in December. January shows you shifting your priorities to accommodate a new love. March brings a financial bonus. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 43, 2 and 27.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your identity is your own, and you’re allowed to play around with it and present yourself in different ways. Of course, you’ll get a reaction from people, but don’t let that keep you from experimenting. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You are feeling mighty independent today, but don’t miss out on meeting with your group. They’re all going to talk about someone, and if you’re not there, that someone will be you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you don’t understand what someone is saying, ask that person to clarify. If you’re not getting what’s going on, say so. There’s no shame in ignorance, only in trying to conceal it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You learn something new every day, but new knowledge isn’t always correct. Today you’ll unlearn a few things that were never accurate to begin with. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Reinforce your good habits by offering yourself praise, if not celebration, for all that you do right. Good habits are easier to lose than bad ones. A little self-acknowledgment may keep you on the right path for months. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t mind giving credit where it’s due, but when people greedily take more than their share, it really rubs you the wrong way. You wouldn’t be in the wrong if you called them out. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Saying too much is worse than saying too little. There are benefits to holding back, but there are detriments to pushing past the point of agreement. You could undo all the trust and kinship you’ve established. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Maybe nothing can be created from nothing, but seen things can be created from unseen things, and you’ll have the perfect example of it today when what was in your mind comes strolling into your life. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as there are many sides to the story, there are many sides to the person telling the story. When you listen, do so with the knowledge that what you are hearing is incomplete.

In 1907, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the union. In 1917, Georges Clemenceau again became prime minister of France. In 1946, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded at the conclusion of a conference in London. In 1959, the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “The Sound of Music” opened on Broadway. In 1960, Academy Award-winning actor Clark Gable died in Los Angeles at age 59. In 1961, House Speaker Samuel T. Rayburn, 79, died at his home in Bonham, Texas, having served as speaker since 1940 except for two terms as minority leader of the Democrats. In 1966, Dr. Samuel H. Sheppard was acquitted in his second trial of murdering his pregnant wife, Marilyn, in 1954. In 1973, Skylab 4, carrying a crew of three astronauts, was launched from Cape Canaveral on an 84-day mission. In 1982, an agreement was announced in the 57th day of a strike by National Football League players. In 1997, China’s most prominent prodemocracy campaigner, Wei Jingsheng (way jeeng-shuhng), arrived in the United States after being released following nearly 18 years of imprisonment in his country. Ten years ago: Serbs failed for the third time in a year to elect a president because of low voter turnout. Bettina Goislard, a French United Nations worker, was shot and killed in Afghanistan. Five years ago: Iraq’s Cabinet overwhelmingly approved a security pact with the United States calling for American forces to remain in the country until 2012. Space shuttle Endeavour linked up with the international space station. The Pittsburgh Steelers rallied to beat the San Diego Chargers 11-10, the first such final score in NFL history. One year ago: Former CIA Director David Petraeus told Congress that classified intelligence showed the Sept. 11, 2012 attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was a terrorist attack. He said the Obama administration withheld that information to avoid tipping off al-Qaida affiliates that U.S. intelligence was on their trail. Financially struggling Hostess Brands Inc. announced it was shutting down its operations following a strike by the union.

Page 20 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 16, 2013
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Last weekend, my husband and I invited a few relatives over for a cookout. There were three children under the age of 4. When it began to rain, we moved the party indoors. The parents let their kids run amok, and in a few short hours, the children completely trashed the first floor of our house. My husband and I do not have children, though I understand that kids will be kids. But it’s the parents’ responsibility to watch their children. Bouncing on our couch, climbing on the coffee tables, spilling food in every room and throwing picture frames show a lack of respect, as well as ignorance of appropriate behavior. This was the first time we’d invited the relatives over, and we had spent the entire morning cleaning our place to make it welcoming. I don’t understand how anyone can allow their kids to destroy a nice, clean house. I couldn’t wait for them to leave. My husband and I spent the next several hours cleaning up. We are furious with them for allowing this to happen and will not invite them a second time. I wonder whether they allow this type of behavior in their own home. What’s the best way to handle this in the future? -- Upset and Exploited in Illinois Dear Upset: Those parents abdicated their responsibility. When parents refuse to discipline their children in your home, you are permitted to do so. It’s OK to tell them they absolutely cannot bounce on the couch, climb on the tables or throw things. Remind the parents to keep an eye on their kids. If your home is large enough, set aside an area that includes toys for them to play with or a movie to watch. If they still cannot settle down, suggest to the parents that they “might want to go home since the kids are so restless.” Dear Annie: My parents were blessed with five children.
All of us have been successful. Dad died 15 years ago, and Mom died last year. Most of Mom’s funeral was paid for, but there was still a small balance, which I paid out of my own pocket. My parents gave us everything we wanted in life. But as the oldest, I worked, cleaned and took care of my younger siblings from the time I was 14. Before Mom died, she told me she would give me a “little something extra” because I was short-changed growing up, and she left me a small insurance policy. Isn’t it the responsibility of all the children to pay for the funeral? Since the service, I have not heard from any of my siblings. If they aren’t going to offer to pay for some of the funeral expenses, at least I deserve a “thank you” for handling it, don’t I? -- Hurt and Taken Advantage Of Dear Hurt: Do your siblings know that you received this insurance policy? No matter how justified, they may believe it meant Mom favored you, and it could create ill will for decades. Please nip this in the bud. Call your siblings. Explain the situation. Let them know their share of the funeral expenses and ask whether they can reimburse you. But also tell them you love and miss them. Dear Annie: Like “Not So Home Sweet Home,” I was once a 20-year-old who was uncomfortable around my stepfather. But I figured I would soon be out of the house. How I wish I had confronted him and told my mother. He later molested my young daughter when she was at my mom’s house. My daughter is now 34 and has suffered greatly from what happened to her as a child. She had been told to keep the “special secret” between her and Grandpa. Grandpa was dead before this came to light, so the confrontation never took place. Trust your feelings. Speak out. -- Home Was Never Sweet Again
