Owner seeks demolition permit for Hathaway House

BY MICHAEL KITCH & ROGER AMSDEN THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Cafua Management Company, LLC, the Dunkin’ Donuts franchise owner of the historic Hathaway House at 1106 Union Avenue, is in the process of seeking a demolition permit to raze the Victorian mansion built in 1870.

As of Monday, Greg Nolan, director of development at Cafua, has distributed applications for a demolition permit to some — Public Works and Fire — but not

all of the appropriate city departments.

The process requires applications, which can be downloaded from the city website, to be signed by officials of the Department of Public Works, Water Department, Fire Department and Planning Department as well as the gas and electric utilities servicing the property then submitted to the Code Enforcement officer.

A Planning Department representative said Monday it has not seen a copy of the application as of yet and Code Enforcement

reported the same.

Because the Hathaway House is of more than 700-square-feet in area and 75 years old, as well as visible from a public rightof-way, the application must also be presented to the Heritage Commission for review. Pam Clark, who chairs the Heritage Commission, said yesterday that she will decline to sign the demolition permit and instead will schedule a public hearing in an effort to preserve the building. She said see HATHAWAY page 14

cidental that the location of the gathering was in the district of Republican Senator Jeanie Forrester of Meredith, chairman of the powerful Senate Finance Committee.

The House and Senate will vote this Thursday on whether to expand Medicaid to about 49,000 poor adults but committees in both chambers differ on how to implement the expansion. A proposal by the Republican Senate shifts the adults out of a state managed care program to private insurance through the federal insurance

marketplace in 2015.

But Hassan and fellow Democrats say that isn’t feasible as there is only one insurance company that’s interested in providing insurance in the federal health exchange. “The bill lacks workable, achievable and realistic timelines and includes no measures to ensure competition and costeffectiveness on the exchange,” said Hassan She and Speaker of the House Terie Norelli have offered a compromise path see HASSAN page 13

First vote to fill Burton’s seat will be held of January 21

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan has called a special election to fill the executive council seat left vacant when Councilor Ray Burton died last week.

The primary will be held Jan. 21 for the District 1 seat followed by a general election March 11. The filing period will be Nov. 25-27 and Dec. 2.

If only one candidate from each party files, the general election will be Jan. 21 instead of March 11.

Hassan said Monday that no one can truly replace Burton, but he would want his district represented as quickly as possible.

First elected in 1977, the 74-year-old Burton was New Hampshire’s longest-serving member of the Executive Council and a tireless advocate for the North Country. He died Nov. 12 of kidney cancer.

Zimmerman’s girlfriend claims he pointed gun at her APOPKA, Fla. (AP) — George Zimmerman was charged Monday with assault after deputies were called to the home where he lived with his girlfriend, who claimed he pointed a shotgun at her during an argument, authorities said.

Zimmerman pushed the woman out of the house and barricaded the door with furniture, Chief Deputy Dennis Lemma said at a news conference hours after the arrest. The girlfriend, Samantha Scheibe, provided deputies with a key to the home and they were able to push the door that

had been barricaded.

“She was very concerned for her own safety especially having the weapon pointed at her and then being pushed out,” Lemma said.

Lemma says Zimmerman was compliant and unarmed when deputies came to the house.

“The easiest way to describe it is rather passive. He’s had the opportunity to encounter this in the past,” he said.

Zimmerman was charged with domestic aggravated assault with a weapon, domes-

tic battery and criminal mischief. His first appearance was scheduled for Tuesday afternoon. He will be housed in a singleperson cell and guards will check on him hourly, Lemma added.

“Just when you thought you heard the last of George Zimmerman,” said neighbor Catherine Cantrell. She said she had twice seen a man who looked like Zimmerman get out of a truck that’s been in the driveway for nearly a month. The truck parked there Monday appeared to be the same see ZIMMERMAN page 15

WASHINGTON, Ill. (AP) — When a cluster of violent thunderstorms began marching across the Midwest, forecasters were able to draw a bright line on a map showing where the worst of the weather would go.

Their uncannily accurate predictions — combined with television and radio warnings, text-message alerts and storm sirens — almost certainly saved lives as rare lateseason tornadoes dropped out of a dark autumn sky. Although the storms howled

through 12 states and flattened entire neighborhoods within a matter of minutes, the number of dead stood at just eight.

By Monday, another, more prosaic reason for the relatively low death toll also came to light: In the hardest-hit town, many families were in church.

“I don’t think we had one church damaged,” said Gary Manier, mayor of Washington, Ill., a community of 16,000 about 140 miles southwest of Chicago.

The tornado cut a path about an eighth of a mile wide from one side of Washington to the other and damaged or destroyed as many as 500 homes. The heavy weather also battered parts of Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and western New York.

N.H. high risk health insurance pool extended

CONCORD (AP) — Nearly 3,000 New Hampshire residents who have health insurance through the state’s high risk pool will be allowed to keep their coverage until alternatives are fully available under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law.

The high risk pool serves 2,750 residents who otherwise may have trouble obtaining insurance. It was scheduled to shut down Dec. 31 because after that, insurers must issue polices without regard to health status. But given the problems with the federal government’s website for purchasing plans, many people have been worried that they won’t be able to purchase new insurance in time to avoid interruptions in coverage.

Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny said Monday he will issue an order later this week allowing the high risk pool to remain open until the federal marketplace is fully available.

“These people need to know for certain that they will have coverage in January of 2014 and cannot wait until the last minute to enroll through healthcare.gov,” Sevigny said.

Eight months ago, Laura Miller of Concord told lawmakers that because of a preexisting condition, the high risk pool was her only insurance option, but she hoped to be among the first state residents to sign up for new coverage when the online marketplace opened Oct. 1. She said Monday she has tried numerous times to enroll online without success, and after consulting an insurance agent, had decided to wait until the end of November to try again. She was pleased to hear that the risk pool will be extended.

TRAFFIC from page one The so-called US3/NH25 project began in 2005 with the aim of moving traffic in “a slow, steady, safe efficient manner,” mitigating congestion, while configuring the corridor to accommodate pedestrians and cyclists and promoting the local economy, preserving the natural environment and highlighting the cultural assets of the community. Initially the scope of the project reached some four miles from the junction of Route 3 and Rte. 104 through the intersection Rte. 3 and Rte. 25 and along Rte. 25 to the Center Harbor town line.

Between 2006 and 2009, personnel from DOT, together with an advisory committee of local officials and residents, held 26 meetings and solicited public comment, exploring what Gene McCarthy of McFarland Johnson, a consulting engineer, called “anything and everything that could possibly be considered.” In a report, issued in 2009, the myriad of alternatives were winnowed down to a number of preferred options.

Since then, McCarthy explained, for want of sufficient funding the scope of the project has been reduced to the stretch between the junction of Rte. 3 and Rte. 104 to the intersection of Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street, with the US3/NH25 intersection the centerpiece of the project.

“It’s a smaller, confined project,” he said. The next step will be to select the preferred alternative.

Don Lyford of DOT told the board that the current budget for the project is $5 million, with federal funds representing 80 percent of the total. He said that “the finite amount of funding” would shape the scale of the project.

The report presented four options corresponding to the reduced scope of the project. Three would add a center left-turn to Rte. 3. One would upgrade the traffic signal at Routes 3 and 104 and construct two-lane

roundabouts at Routes 3 and 25 and Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street while another would construct single-lane roundabouts at both locations. A third option would include a two-lane roundabout at Routes 3 and 104 as well as at Routes 3 and 24 and Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street. With the fourth option, Rte. 3 would remain a two-lane highway with seven roundabouts — at Rte. 104, Terrace Avenue, Mill Street, Church Landing, Lake Street, Rte. 25 and Pleasant Street.

McCarthy said that while a one-lane roundabout at Routes 3 and 25 could be constructed with minimal impact on surrounding property, a twolane roundabout would impact all four quadrants, including two buildings on the northern corners of the intersection, but provide greater capacity to ease the bottleneck.

“One lane roundabout doesn’t accomplish anything,” said selectman Lou Kahn, who questioned if there was enough money in the budget to acquire the necessary land. McCarthy said that apart from reconfiguring the intersection of Routes 3 and 25, the project required little land acquisition. In particular, he said that a third lane could be added to Rte. 3 within the stateowned corridor with only minimal takings.

At the recommendation of the DOT, the Selectboard agreed to convene an advisory committee of nine consisting of the town manager, community development director, a member of the Planning Board, one selectman, representatives of the Greater Meredith Program and Chamber of Commerce and three residents to work with DOT on selecting a final plan by 2014. DOT anticipates the design to be completed by 2016 and construction to begin the following year. Originally the more expansive project was scheduled to begin in 2012.

LACONIA — Attorneys representing the Belknap County prosecutor and Eric Grant, who is on trial for aggravated felonious sexual assault, met briefly in a motions hearing yesterday to argue whether or not a judge should allow evidence that the alleged victim was harming herself.

Grant is on trial for for allegedly digitally penetrating the girl, 10 at the time, at a 2006 New Year’s Eve party at his house. The girl made her accusations during a therapy session in April of 2012, six years later. She and her immediate family live in California.

At the time of the alleged assault, Grant was married to the girl’s mother’s sister and they lived in Gilford. The girl and her family were visiting the area.

Asst. Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern had asked the judge on Thursday to allow evidence of self-mutilation after the victim mentioned it while testifying on the first day of Grant’s trial.

Ahern said yesterday she has no intention of using evidence of the girl’s self-mutilation as evidence of rape. However, she does want to use to illustrate to the jury the girl’s state of mind.

She said once the girl’s mother knew she was no longer self-harming, the girl started smoking pot.

Ahern said it’s an attempt by the state to show the girl was “struggling.”

Emily McLaughlin, who is defending Grant, has objected to admitting the self-harming for a number of reasons. She said yesterday that if Ahern is not eliciting the girl’s self-harming as evidence then she has contradicted what she told the court in a hearing on Thursday.

“I thought long and hard about how to defend this case,” McLaughlin said to Judge James O’Neill, arguing yesterday that self-harming testimony would entail the use of expert witnesses and she was assured before the trial that Ahern would not be presenting any expert testimony nor would she need to prepare for it.

She also filed a motion requesting O’Neill stops Belknap County Deputy Sheriff Judy Estes from presenting any expert testimony. Estes investigated the case of behalf of the sheriff’s department and is scheduled to testify today.

Ahern said she didn’t object and was only going to elicit testimony from Estes about her investigation of the case and not as an “expert,” presumably of rape or any psychological aftermath of rape.

McLaughlin also requested that the most recent written motions and their written responses be sealed — meaning only the attorneys and the judge and his clerks have access to them.

Ahern said she has no objections so O’Neill granted McLaughlin’s motion, although he noted most of the recent revelations have been made in open testimony.

O’Neill said he would issue his final ruling on whether or not the self-mutilation as well as two family pictures apparently showing the girl and Grant together on two separate vacations after the alleged rape can be admitted.

McLaughlin wanted the two pictures entered as evidence — meaning the jury would be able to see them. Ahern has objected because she said they are two moments in time and are not reflective of the overall feelings of the girl toward her uncle.

During testimony last week, the alleged victim, her mother and her step-father all testified that after the alleged assault on New Year’s Eve of 2006 she didn’t want to be around Grant.

He mother testified that she forced the girl to be nice when Grant and he and his family visited them in California the next year and that she made her go to Jamaica on a family trip in 2011.

No jurors were present for Thursday’s argument nor were they present yesterday. Testimony is scheduled to resume at 10 a.m. this morning.

2nd company advises Belmont Fire’s engine 2 is not worth refurbishing

By Michael Kitch

tor, air system and brakes, McDevitt said the “major decline is the frame rail and body rust, of what we can see and can’t see.”

He went on to say that “there is no repair for frame rails having rust between them, only the replacement of the rails.”

Parenti said yesterday that Engine 2 is the third engine to respond to a fire. It is a 1997 Pierce ES460. He said that if the department were to refurbish it, he would expect to use it for 10 more years — five as a second line truck and five as a third line truck.

Should the selectmen choose not to refurbish it, he would placing it on the town warrant for 2015 and having it in service by early 2016.

There are three engines in Belmont, said Parenti. Engine 1 is the first response vehicle and is two years old.

He said it is scheduled for replacement in 2031. Engine 3 is the second truck to respond and is scheduled for replacement in 2020.

Parenti said Engine 1 is the primary attack engine while Engine 3 is primary used during a fire as a water source. Currently, Engine 2 works as a replacement for either of those two engines when they are out of service for repairs or for simultaneous calls.

Selectmen were scheduled to review the two recommendations at their meeting yesterday.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — Fire Chief Dave Parenti said yesterday that he has gotten a second opinion regarding the condition of Engine 2 and has recommended to the town administrator that it not be refurbished.

Gary Wadland, a shop foreman for McDevitt Truck in Manchester, said, “I do not believe in my professional opinion it would be in your best interest to invest in refurbishing this unit.”

McDevitt’s opinion is similar to the one Parenti received on November 4 from Repair Service of New England (RSNE) that evaluated the engine, air system, brake system and radiator.

“Professionally speaking, I would not recommend putting the time nor the money into this unit not knowing what other issues may arise,” wrote RSNE owner Ricky Gagnon.

Parenti has discussed adding a warrant article to the 2014 warrant for a $200,000 refurbishment of the engine but had told selectmen he wanted to have the truck evaluated — especially for rusted frame rails.

The RSNE report was presented to selectmen two weeks ago, however no mention was made of the condition of the frame and Selectman Jon Pike asked for a second opinion.

Along with the same problems identified by RSNE with the engine, radiaSTARBUCKS from page 2 Bear’s darkest roast coffee. The appeals court noted that “one of the reasons Black Bear used the term ‘Charbucks’ was the public perception that Starbucks roasted its beans unusually darkly.” But it agreed with the district court in finding minimal similarity and weak evidence of actual association between the brands.

“Their sales haven’t been hurt,” Clark said, noting that Black Bear’s

haven’t changed much over the years.

“Their growth hasn’t been hurt.”

Seattle-based Starbucks respects but disagrees with the court’s decision, company spokesman Zack Hutson said.

“We only filed the suit after a prolonged but unsuccessful attempt to enlist Black Bear’s cooperation and to resolve this matter without litigation,” Hutson said Monday.

Stay the course The bungled launch of the federal health insurance website has unleashed significant disorder — but not everywhere. Life remains calm in many states that set up their own health care exchanges. Some are so confident of the rightness of the health care reforms that they’re rejecting President Obama’s proposal to let people keep their inadequate health insurance policies.

“We will not be allowing insurance companies to extend their (substandard) policies,” Washington state’s insurance commissioner, Mike Kreidler, announced in no uncertain terms.

To recap, insurers canceled several million plans that failed to meet the higher standards of the Affordable Care Act. That left many policyholders angry. Anxiety rose as those in states relying on the federal exchange couldn’t get on HealthCare.gov to see their alternatives (which might include pleasant surprises). Facing a revolt by purple-state Democrats, Obama said he’d give states the option of letting people keep their substandard policies.

The public is confused. Insurers are confused. Insurers are also upset because the move messes with the stability of the new insurance pools. The pools stay strong by combining the young and vigorous with the old and sick. The banned bare-bones policies attract the healthy, though many are rip-offs worse than no insurance at all.

Again, the craziness is mainly confined to states that didn’t set up their own exchanges. Most state exchanges are humming along, forcing rationality and cost curbing into their health care. Vermont and Rhode Island have joined Washington in saying “no, thanks” to the president’s offer. No doubt others will join them.

“My jaw dropped” on hearing Obama’s announcement, Kreidler told The Seattle Times. He added the obvious: “Insurance only works if you have a robust pool of good and bad risk.”

By the way, about half of the 290,000 Washington residents who received cancellation letters will apparently qualify for subsidies to help buy insurance through the state exchange. Some may learn

they can get more for less.

Of course, those in states dependent on the federal website can’t see what’s out there. Strange that redstate politicians, wedded to the idea that D.C. can’t do anything right, left the job of setting up health care exchanges to the federal government. Several are now being forced to extend their high-risk pools — programs for sickly people rejected by private insurers. They are supposed to be phased out under Obamacare.

So Republican Gov. Scott Walker was only half-right when he complained, “In Wisconsin, we are taking action to protect our citizens from the federal government’s failure.” He neglected to include Wisconsin’s failure to set up its own program.

We know what’s going on. Most Republicans will not accept the reforms — a virtual carbon copy of conservative blueprints, including former Gov. Mitt Romney’s plan in Massachusetts — because Obama wanted them. The politics are so perverse that they’ll subsidize the health care of elderly billionaires, the destitute and prisoners but not the working poor and struggling middle class.

To the gasps of local hospital officials, many Republican governors refused to expand Medicaid to more low-income people, though the feds would have paid for nearly all of it.

Only 25 states have agreed to the expansion, most run by Democrats.

One prays that the federal government will get its act together soon.

In the meantime, let’s put things in perspective. As Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist who helped design the Massachusetts and federal reforms, said on Fox News Channel, we should “stop panicking over days and weeks.”

Also note that for every American with a canceled policy, there are 10 uninsured Americans. Many are suffering and will be saved by this law.

What can we say but, “Stay the course.” Stay the course.

LETTERS I should be able to express views without attracting vicious attack To The Daily Sun, Last week, Bev Buker wrote a wonderful, thought-provoking letter. She spoke of giving thanks for all of our many blessings. She also lamented the “calling the kettle black” that happens daily in this forum. Bev takes great enjoyment in her senior companions. She feels that we should feel fortunate if we’re not struggling to heat our homes and afford to feed ourselves. She reminded me that some folks have to eat cat food to survive.

I am fortunate to be able to volunteer at a local charitable organization. This facility provides tremendous support to the community. It is an all volunteer organization. Many of these volunteers are senior citizens. Some are on fixed incomes. Each week, they donate their time to help others. These folks are an inspiration to us all. There are stagger-

ing needs in this community.

Wouldn’t it be remarkable if we could stop throwing mud and venom at everyone who disagrees with us? As a Democrat, I happen to support health care for all. I also support expanding Medicaid. I’m also appalled at $100 million being cut from the food stamp program.

These are my views. I don’t expect everyone to agree with me. I should, however, be able to express these views — as an American citizen — without being subjected to a vicious personal attack. Instead of mudslinging and bludgeoning, can’t we use this forum to find common ground and maybe — just maybe, find some solutions and help for those who need it?

Happy Thanksgiving.

Don’t expand Medicaid; every program ends up costing much more To The Daily Sun, Governor Maggie Hassan has called for a special session of the N.H. Legislature on November 21, to consider expanding Medicaid in N.H. The federal government is offering free money now so they will be able to control us in the future. Once we get hooked on federal government money they will stop funding it and N.H. citizens will be left holding the bill. We will then be forced to raise property taxes or began a sales tax or N.H. income tax to pay for the expansion.

Look at the government track record concerning food stamps. More

people are on food stamps than ever before resulting in a class dependent on the government. Every government program ends up costing much more than predicted. Obamacare was supposed to save people $1,500 a year on health insurance, now they’re predicting an increase of $2,900 for most families each year. Please tell Governor Maggie Hassan and our N.H. Legislature that we cannot afford to expand Medicaid in N.H. Do this right away because they may vote on this next Thursday.

Fingers were crossed when Hathaway House promise was made?

To The Daily Sun, As I passed the Dunkin’ Donuts on Union Ave. today, I saw a picket line, saying how Dunkin’ Donuts had lied to the city of Laconia. Not too long ago, questioning how one Dunkin’ Donuts gave a senior citizen discount and the rest did not, I was told that all six of the local DD stores were not owned by the same person. So, even as I applaud the sign carriers, it is NOT Duncin’ Donuts that lied to the city, tt was the owner of the Dunkin’ Donuts on Union Ave. that did the lying so that

street.

Let that be a lesson to all. In this day of greed, a simple handshake or giving his/her word, meant that you had your fingers crossed behind your back as you promised to do what was right, In this case, fixing up the old Hathaway House.

As I try and tell people, there is only one thing that can never be taken away from you and that is your word.

Once you throw that away on your own, you will never get it back.

LETTERS My money is on ‘Business’, the foolish can bet on ‘Government’

Stop future income or sales tax, don’t expand Medicaid in N.H.

To The Daily Sun, The two horse racing form for America: Horse number ONE at 1,000,000 to 1 odds. Name: “GOVERNMENT”.

This horse has a long, tired and failed history. He comes in last no matter the weather conditions. He comes in last even though we change his jockey every four years and we change his trainer and stable hands every two. He comes in last no matter the track dry or muddy. He comes in last no matter how many oats we feed him and he never stops baying for more. His owners are in debt up to their eye balls tending to him. He has become bloated and runs slower than ever. More feed and endless vitamin shots fail to STIMULATE the sway back, old nag have all proved fruitless.

He demands more hay, a wider stall, a bigger barn and a larger grazing pasture only he controls. His real desire is some cute filly he can cuddle with to sire another Rosemary’s baby that looks like Obamacare. No matter the tragic, failed 100 year history of this horse named “Government”, he still manages to convince millions to bet on this walking glue factory. Worst of all, every time “Government” loses he leaves a wet, brown trail of fecal material all the way to the stable that others have to SMELL and CLEAN UP. The lazy, arrogant bastard feels not an ounce of remorse for his failure.

Horse number TWO at better than EVEN odds. Name: “BUSINESS”.

This horse too has a long, storied history. Just the opposite of the glue factory nag. Those that BET ON BUSINESS win just about every time.

LONG term bettors have NEVER LOST. “ Amazingly “Business” has returned to bettors just under 10 percent ( EVERY YEAR, on average ) for the past 70 years. “Business” returns hundreds of billions of dollars each year to its bettors stuffing their bank accounts and wallets. AN INCREDIBLE RECORD of WINS over its competitor “Government”, who plays dirty.

The market is up 165 percent over the past four years alone and now sits at it’s highest level in HISTORY. All while the American economy endures its 5th year of farting and floundering under Barack Obama and “Government” sits paralyzed, unable to function, let alone RUN. American “Business” reinvents itself CONTINUALLY around the world. Half of profits now come from countries other than HERE. It adapts to weather conditions instantly. It adjusts to track conditions automatically. It changes

To The Daily Sun, Governor Maggie Hassan has called a special session of the New Hampshire Legislature to lay the foundation for an income tax. It may balloon into an income tax, a sales tax and increased property taxes.

N.H.’s House of Representatives and Senate have been busy in Concord the past few weeks working away at expanding Medicaid. They’re poised to vote on this days from now — Thursday, November 21.

The federal government is going to pay all the costs for the first three years with fake money they get to print. After three years, New Hampshire residents have to start to pay 10 percent of the cost with real money.

N.H.residents will be on the hook for tens, possibly hundreds, of millions of dollars of expense for this Medicaid each year.

Do you trust the federal government after they told you you could keep

jockeys within weeks if required.

“Business” has it’s nose in the wind smelling for the slightest changes that might require action. “Business” runs with reigns held tightly. if the track is muddy the goggles come up immediately. “Business” heads for the inside rail when conditions signal applying the whip to maximize speed.

“Business” out thinks “Government” at every turn. All while “Government” does it all it can to INTERFERE with “Business” running its best race.

70 year RACE RESULTS: The middle class is VANISHING. In the last 40 years 35 million people have DROPPED from the middle class to the lower, while the top 20 percent ( almost all having bet on “Business”) have seen their prosperity increase beyond their wildest dreams. The rich indeed have gotten far richer while the poor have gotten poorer and far more numerous. During this period of middle class decimation government has grown ENORMOUS in it’s size and power, by EVERY MEASURE. Government becomes more costly, controlling and benevolent all while the middle class DIES and SHRIVELS tit-for-tat with that expansion.

This is not some wild, unsubstantiated claim. Every fact supports the conclusion. There is an insane notion spread by Democrats that increased welfare and philanthropy by government prevents the destruction of the MIDDLE CLASS. We have 40 years of empirical evidence that PROVES this LOGIC is INSANE, in fact the results are the reverse. It simply has allowed government to become more powerful under the Trojan horse it is caring and concerned. Until government SHRINKS and until the middle class are encouraged, even MANDATED to participate in BUSINESS with time and investment their decline will only accelerate. The Democratic Party has spent the past 75 years expending every once of its energy, power, money and INFLUENCE to keep people betting on losing, bankrupt, fat, failed, fatigued “Government “ as their salvation. That wrong BET for 70 straight years has produced ever increasing social unrest and the economic bifurcation of society we witness today.

With ever fewer people holding all the winning tickets at the economic race track. Your losing your ECONOMIC LIFE and your happiness because you KEEP betting on the WRONG HORSE. Tony Boutin Gilford

your health plan and your doctor? Do you think the feds might say in three years, “Well, we didn’t really tell you the truth. We can’t pay 90 percent. We can only pay 50 percent. Sorry.”

If you want less money to pay your bills or gather as savings in your bank account in the future, then sit back and do nothing. I’m serious. Just sit on your couch and watch TV. If you want to stop a future income and sales tax in New Hampshire, call Governor Hassan, all the N.H. state senators and your N.H. House reps. You have just HOURS to do this because they vote on Thursday. Tell them: — Do NOT expand Medicaid.

— Table this legislation.

— Wait until the Obamacare Train Wreck is cleaned from the tracks.

Don’t forget to tell Maggie she’ll be a one-term governor if she signs a Medicaid expansion bill. Period.

Tell your senator to suck it up & make right decision on Medicaid To The Daily Sun, It looks like the N.H. Senate is about ready to put our economy at grave risk by trusting an administration better know for prevarication than prosperity.

The plan to expand Medicaid under the guise of covering more citizens is just plain wrong. To trust that the Obama Administration will keep its word and cover a large share of the cost is like trusting a huckster at a carnival. Our president has lied about Obamcare from the beginning. Maine tried a similar approach and found that the net

number of covered individuals did not change as they moved from one system to another. This will cost us hundreds of millions of dollars of our hard earned tax dollars while Obama pays their part with newly printed monopoly money. I am tired of a Rodney King N.H. Senate that just wants to “.... all get along.”

Making the right decision is hard. Tell your senator to suck it up and make the right decision. Don’t expand Medicaid in N.H.!

Dave Testerman Franklin

Politicians don’t talk anymore like Kennedy did back in 1960 To The Daily Sun, No time in the school day for the pledge of allegiance. My God, what has happened to our values? I was in 4th grade 50 years ago that November, we started our day with the pledge, hours later JFK was gone.

I was 14-years-old when I attended my first military funeral; over the years they don’t change. I still get a shiver up my spine when the honor guards fold and then presents the flag to the family members, thanking them for their loved ones service.

Who’s teaching these kids? NO God, no pledge, NO Xmas, NO Halloween, NO idea of the word patriotism. At 60 I’ve seen a lot of culture changes over the years, but this basic breakdown of values being taught to the next generation is brainwashing the future of this country. JFK said, don’t ask what your county can do for you, ask what you can do for your country. People and politicians don’t talk like that anymore.

Let’s support our friends & neighbors with our holiday shopping To The Daily Sun, Almost everywhere he goes he sees someone he knows. At the grocery store, the fair, or at the beach in Maine, someone he knows will stop him to say hello or ask for his advice. You may have sat with him in his “office”, better known as the sound room, and shared the recent struggles or joys in your life. He has enjoyed listening to your stories about your kids and about your work. He is quite the story teller himself and before you know it, you’re laughing together and forgetting some of your problems. Over the years, you have become friends with the guy — better known as Pete, at Greenlaw’s Music Store.

A Laconia business for 60 years, David Greenlaw’s father first opened Greenlaw’s Music in the early 1950s.

Since then you may have stopped in to pick up a musical instrument for your son or daughter’s school band, sheet music for your church choir, a TV and sound system for your new or newly remodeled home, a guitar or drum set so you can take lessons, or like me — buy your first stereo. You see, I went into Greenlaw’s to buy my first real stereo from Peter 30 years ago.

So what is the purpose of my letter?

You may have heard that it’s important to “shop local.” I encourage you to take this one step further. Look around your local area where you live and witness your friends and neighbors at work. They are the people you know.

Your local small business owners and their employees live next to you, go to church with you, or volunteer at your child’s sporting events. Sometimes you

just recognize their face and wonder “where do I know that person from?”

Then you remember she works at the local flower shop or he owns the local bakery. Or you remember she used to work at the local gift shop that went out of business last year because they struggled to compete with the online market place and big box stores.

Consider that every time you shop at a local business, you are supporting your friends and neighbors. Put faces and names to those businesses. I’m using Pete, Dave and Abe at Greenlaw’s Music Store as examples of this, but there are so many people in small businesses just like them.

Saturday, November 30th is Small Business Saturday. We all do some shopping online, but on this day, throughout the upcoming Christmas shopping season, and beyond, please shop in local stores and businesses when you can.

Visit your friends and neighbors who work in your local restaurants, shoe store or jewelry store. They are ready to help you with your shopping list and welcome you in, as friends do. Plus, don’t forget to visit their online store fronts like Greenlawsmusic.com if you can’t get out to see them.

Supporting our friends and neighbors reminds me of the 1940s Christmas movie “It’s A Wonderful Life”. In the final scene when George Bailey and his family are surrounded by people who know and love them, Clarence the angel has written this note to George, “No man is a failure who has friends!”

Thanks to so many for supporting BHS’s 7th Annual Holiday Fair To The Daily Sun, The 7th Annual Holiday Fair at Belmont High School (BHS) was another great success for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA). Accordingly, we would like to thank all of the 100-plus crafters and vendors who participated in the fair, many of whom have been returning year after year to support our event. We would also like to thank Mix 94.1, WLNH (98.3), and WJYY (105.5), and MetroCast for their support in our promotional efforts, as our attendance was once again approximately 2,000 shoppers!

There were several local businesses who also supported the fair, including Dunkin’ Donuts, The Works Bakery Cafe, Brookside Pizza, Sal’s Pizza, Hannaford, Shaw’s, Coca-Cola, Tilton Diner, Kitchen Cravings, Pirates Cove, the 99 Restaurant, Fox Country Smokehouse, Contigiani Catering, Jody Fortin, and the Belmont Heritage Commission. Finally, we were pleased to have the BHS PTO join us this year with Santa’s Secret Shopping Experience, allowing children to purchase and wrap gifts for family members

that will be true surprises as they are unwrapped during the holidays.

The Holiday Fair means a lot to us as students. It provides many opportunities for us to apply our business skills and knowledge to a real project working with the community, which we enjoy very much! Proceeds from the fair help us to attend NH-FBLA conferences and competitions in the spring and fall. Finally, and of equal importance to us, the fair allows us to support local charities that help other students and families in need during the holiday season!

There are many more people that we owe our thanks and appreciation to for the support we have received, so please know that we appreciate all that people have done for us. Best wishes to everyone for a safe and happy holiday season, and we will hope to see you for our eighth year on November 8, 2014!

3 Winnipesaukee coves closed to ‘rafting’ MEREDITH — The New Hampshire Department of Safety (DOS) has prohibited “rafting” at Round, Fish and Flag coves on Lake Winnipesaukee in response to a petition presented by neighboring property owners.

In 1983 the Legislature authorized the DOS to define and regulate rafting and since 1947 property owners have been entitled to petition the department to impose operating restrictions on water bodies within or bordering municipalities. The practice of “rafting-up” involves getting two or more craft, often many, to anchor very close together for the purpose of socializing.

Cheri Pierce, whose family has owned property on Flag Cove since 1945, submitted a petition in August and the DOS held a public hearing in September, at which eight residents spoke in favor and none against forbidding rafting in the three coves.

Moreover, another 13 residents submitted letters supporting the petition.

The petitioners claimed that rafting posed a safety hazard in and around the narrow, shallow inlets where the most of the water is less than six feet deep and nowhere exceeds 12 feet in depth while much of the navigable area in between 150 feet and 200 feet wide. Moreover, the shallow, warm waters and fertile sediment provide ideal conditions for milfoil, the growth and spread of which is fostered by the repeated dropping and hauling of anchors of rafting boats. The coves also provide nesting sites for loons as well as habitat for other species of wildlife.

Finally. residents complained that rafting is often presents a nuisance, primarily the disposal of trash in the lake.

Unless the decision of the DOS is appealed within 30 days, the agency will draft rules to implement the ban.

— Michael Kitch TWISTER from page 2 to 700 people when he heard an electronic warning tone. Then another. And another.

“I’d say probably two dozen phones started going off in the service, and everybody started looking down,” he said.

What they saw was a text message from the National Weather Service cautioning that a twister was in the area. Bennett stopped the service and ushered everyone to a safe place until the threat passed.

A day later, many townspeople said those messages helped minimize deaths and injuries.

“That’s got to be connected,” Bennett said. “The ability to get instant information.”

In Indiana, Taylor Glenna heard emergency sirens go off and received an alert on his cellphone. A friend also called to warn him the storm was nearly upon him.

Glenna went outside, saw hail and heard a loud boom. He ran to his basement just in time.

On Monday, he was surveying the damage on crutches after suffering a leg injury when the wind knocked his home off its foundation. see next page from preceding page table Fund, Blanche Sleeper, Stafford Oil Company, Inc., Taylor Community, Tilton Trailer Rental , Travel Health of NH, Wedbush Securities, John & Patricia Weeks and Wilkinson-Beane Simoneau-Paquette Funeral Home & Cremation Services.

from preceding page “I would say we had pretty good warning,” Glenna said. “We just didn’t listen to it.”

Forecasting has steadily improved with the arrival of faster, more powerful computers. Scientists are now better able to replicate atmospheric processes into mathematical equations.

In the last decade alone, forecasters have doubled the number of days in advance that weather experts can anticipate major storms, said Bill Bunting of the National Weather Service.

But Bunting, forecast operations chief of the service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. said it was not until Saturday that the atmospheric instability that turns smaller storm system into larger, more menacing ones came into focus.

That’s when information from weather stations, weather balloons, satellite imagery and radar suggested there was plenty of moisture — fuel for storms — making its way northeast from the Gulf of Mexico.

Despite Sunday’s destruction, 2013 has been a relatively mild year for twisters in the U.S., with the number of tornadoes running at or near record lows.

So far this year, there have been 886 preliminary reports of tornadoes, compared with about 1,400 preliminary reports usually sent to the weather service by mid-November.

Similar slow years were 1987 and 1989.

An outbreak like the one that developed Sunday usually happens about

once every seven to 10 years, according to tornado experts at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.

There were similar November outbreaks in 1992 and 2002, with the 1992 one being even bigger than this year’s, said top tornado researcher Harold Brooks at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, also in Norman.

The storms erupted because of unusually warm moist air from Louisiana to Michigan that was then hit by an upper-level cold front. That crash of hot and cold, dry and wet, is what triggers twisters.

Like most November storms, this one was high in wind shear and lower in moist energy. Wind shear is the difference between winds at high altitude and wind near the surface.

Because it was high in wind shear, the storm system moved fast, like a speeding car, Brooks said. That meant the system hit more places before it petered out, affecting more people.

But in places where it hit, the system may have been slightly less damaging because it was moving so fast, he said.

About 90 minutes after the tornado plowed through Washington, rain and high winds slammed into downtown Chicago, prompting officials at Soldier Field to evacuate the stands and order the Bears and Baltimore Ravens off the field. Fans were allowed back to their seats shortly after 2 p.m., and the game resumed after about a twohour delay.

Bow blasts Lakers out of semi-final round, 42-0

By Tim marTin

FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BOW — Inter-Lakes-Moultonborough was no match for the top seeded Bow Falcons Saturday afternoon, losing 42-0 in the NHIAA Division III semi-final round. Bow’s defense held the Lakers to 111 yards of offense. The Falcons’ defense primed their offense, as eight of Bow’s 11 offensive series started on the Lakers’ side of the 50 yard line.

“The final score of this is, is the final score of this game. It doesn’t represent the overall season,” said Lakers coach Jon Francis. “It was a great turnaround from a 1-7 season last year. We had incredible senior leadership this year. We were able to get into some winning ways and make it to the playoffs.”

Bow controlled field position all day. The Falcons’ second possession began at the Inter-Lakes 45 yard line. Three plays later Bow was on the board with an eight yard touchdown run by Matt Ehrenberg.

Ehrenberg had four scores on 17 carries for 72 yards. On the ensuing kickoff Bow placed the kick between two Laker returners and recovered the ball for an onside kick and possession on the Inter-Lakes 25 yard line. On third and eight Bow quarterback Derek Polish hooked up with wide Travis Reynolds who was knocked out of bounds at the one. Ehrenberg walked in untouched two plays later for his second score of the afternoon.

At the start of the second half Bow, with a 28-0 lead, began to utilize the opportunity to give younger athletes a chance to play in the first playoff game hosted on the Falcons’ home turf. Bow scored two more times in the fourth quarter, ending the game

Man accused of burglarizing Gilmanton home on same day he was in court to answer to another charge

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — A local man who had appeared in circuit court earlier in the day has been charged with breaking into the home of one of his relative’s neighbors.

According to Gilmanton Police affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, John “Jack” P. Geddis, 23, now of Pine Hill Road in Gilmanton but formerly of Mountain View Terrace in Belmont entered the Foss Road home on November 7 through a sliding glass window.

Records show Geddis had appeared in circuit court in Laconia earlier that same day and had pleaded innocent to drug possession — a charged that stemmed from an arrest on September 18 by the Belmont Police. He had been freed on $1,000 personal recognizance bail.

“I think he still had his court clothes on,” said Gilmanton Police Chief Joe Collins, referring to the November 7 burglary.

Affidavits said police were notified

by Geddis’s uncle who lives next door to the victim’s home and who said he HASSAN from page 2 which would adopt the Senate proposal to shift the entire newly eligible population of individuals and families with incomes at 0 to 133 percent of the federal poverty level for income onto the New Hampshire’s health insurance exchange with premium assistance, but on a three year timeline. ‘’The proposal allows for workable, responsible and effective implementation, including increased competition to ensure cost-effectiveness on the exchange’’ said Hassan, who maintains that the Senate bill will not work.

She said that both plans will 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 would end automatically at the end of three years when federal funding begins dropping below 100

saw his nephew go into the house. He said he tried to approach Geddis but said he fled into the woods.

Collins’s court affidavit said he interviewed the homeowner and learned some money (about $80) was missing from one of her bedrooms.

She also told him Geddis didn’t have permission to be in her house.

After his appearance in circuit court on November 12 for the most recent burglary, Judge Jim Carroll ordered him held on $10,000 cash-only bail. As of last night, Geddis is still incarcerated in the Belknap County House of Corrections.

The Daily Sun has learned that Geddis also allegedly broke into his uncle’s Foss road home on September 14 and stole money.

He was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury last week for one count each of burglary and theft by unauthorized taking for the September 14 allegation. The indictment said the amount stolen was greater than $1,500.

Geddis is scheduled for arraignment in the Belknap County Superior Court on Thursday.

percent unless the Legislature reauthorizes the program. The federal government is scheduled to pick up 90 percent of the cost of Medicaid expansion after the first three years.

Hassan said that the stakes are high with $2.5 billion in federal funds hanging in the balance and said that failure to enact health care expansion by January 1 will cost the state $500,000 a day for every day that it is delayed.

She said that Republican Senate leadership has taken a ‘’my way or the highway’’ approach over the deadline for implementation, which she said is unrealistic and can’t be accomplished in a short time frame.

Hassan said that she was confident that there are members of the Senate (where the GOP holds a 13-11 edge) who still want to get health care expansion done and appealed to Forrester to work with her. see next page

Without an agreement to preserve the building, the owner may proceed with demolition while the Heritage Commission, with the consent of the owner, shall photograph and document the building as well as encourage the owner to salvage any important architectural features.

On Saturday, members of the city’s Heritage Commission picketed at the Dunkin’ Donuts store next door to the Hathaway House protesting what they said was the deliberate neglect of the Hathaway House. Carrying banners that read ‘’Dunkin’ Donuts Lied’’ and ‘’Anywhere But Here’’ the protesters passed out leaflets explaining why they were picketing and urged customers to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts at a number of locations, including both Union Avenue and South Main Street as well as the Mobil Mart and Airport Country Store in Gilford and near the traffic circle in Alton. ‘’This is demolition by neglect’’ said Clark, who said that it has been obvious that Cafua has been preparing to demolish it for some time. ‘’They promised to see next page

from preceding page maintain it and lease it or sell it five years ago. But they haven’t. The roof is leaking and they hired a crew to knockout the windows, remove asbestos and board up the building a few weeks ago. But it’s not too late to save it if people will speak up,’’ said Clark.

She said that in addition to the boycott a petition drive is being launched in opposition to the building’s demolition.

Dorothy Duffy of the Heritage Commission said that she is disappointed in Laconia for not acting more aggressively to preserve older buildings. “We should be paying more attention. Just recently we’ve lost the Tilton House, the Putnam House and the Baker House. It’s sad to see these buildings which were such a big part of our city’s history lost,’’ said Duffy.

Mary Jane Hoey, another member of the commission, said that the owners have made no attempt to sell or lease the building and that there were no answers to telephone inquiries made about the property.

Charlie St. Clair, whose parents operated the Hathaway House clothing store from 1957 until the 1970s at the property, said ‘’the city should have learned from what happened to O’Shea’s (the former Moulton Opera House building which was demolished during “urban renewal” in the 1970s). This is our history and it shouldn’t be torn down.’’

The controversy surrounding the Hathaway House began in 2008. Cafua, the largest Dunkin’ Donuts franchisee in the Northeast, acquired the property in

2000. In 2008 the firm proposed razing the house and constructing a Dunkin’ Donuts store and strip mall on the property. However, after a series of meetings with city officials and concerned citizens, Cafua agreed to preserve the Hathaway House and build the Dunkin’ Donuts outlet on the remaining 0.75-acre parcel.

When the project was approved, Nolan assured the Planning Board that the Hathaway House would be repainted as well as fitted with a fire alarm and fire suppression system. He said the company had no plans for the building other than to preserve it. In July 2010, when the The Citizen published a story implying that Cafua intended to relinquish control of the building, Nolan told the Planning Department, according to former Assistant Director Seth Creighton, that although the company sought to sell or lease the property, “there will be a condition that the house cannot be scrapped.” He repeated that he intended to paint the building, but conceded that the work had yet to be scheduled. He also said he had demanded the newspaper apologize for its story or risk litigation.

The fate of the Hathaway House led to the establishment of the Heritage Commission in 2008. The commission, consisting of five members, is charged with surveying and inventorying the city’s cultural and historic resources, including buildings of historic and architectural significance and advise the Planning Board and other agencies on managing and protecting them.

ZIMMERMAN from page 2 that reporters have seen Zimmerman drive previously.

“I’m in absolute shock. He was never outside. It’s not like he was out flaunting around,” she said.

Cantrell said Scheibe was very sweet and quiet.

Sarah Tyler, 26, also lives across the street from the tan stucco house on a cul-de-sac street of single family homes in Apopka, about 15 miles northwest of Orlando.

“It’s kind of frightening,” she said.

Zimmerman, 30, was acquitted in July of all charges in the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The death of the black teenager, who was unarmed, touched off a nationwide debate about race and self-defense. Zimmerman, who identifies himself as Hispanic, has said he shot the 17-year-old to defend himself during a fight in February 2012 inside a gated community in Sanford, just outside Orlando.

He wasn’t charged until 44 days after the shooting, leading to protests nationwide from people who believed he should have been immediately arrested.

The case sparked accusations that Zimmerman had racially profiled Martin, and demonstrations broke

out again after his acquittal. Federal authorities are now reviewing the case the see if Martin’s civil rights were violated.

Zimmerman has had other brushes with the law since his acquittal.

Zimmerman and his estranged wife were involved in a domestic dispute in September just days after Shellie Zimmerman filed divorce papers, but police later said no charges were filed against either of them because of a lack of evidence.

Zimmerman has also been pulled over three times for traffic stops since his acquittal. He was ticketed for doing 60 mph in a 45 mph zone in Lake Mary in September and was given a warning by a state trooper along Interstate 95 for having a tag cover and windows that were too darkly tinted. He was also stopped near Dallas in July and was given a warning for speeding.

In 2005, Zimmerman had to take anger management courses after he was accused of attacking an undercover officer who was trying to arrest Zimmerman’s friend.

VENEERS: Your ticket to Hollywood?

Veneers are a great way to improve the appearance of your smile if your teeth will support them. Teeth that are structurally sound may be candidates for veneers, which can be delivered using a gentle procedure that requires minimal reshaping of the teeth – in many cases without even using Novocain. Dental veneers use a thin covering of porcelain (made in a lab) or composite resin (made in the dental office) to create a beautiful, natural looking “facing” on the visible parts of your teeth. They look great regardless of what is underneath them. If your teeth are discolored from injury, medications such as tetracycline, or other causes you may want to ask your dentist about veneers. In addition to changing the color of your teeth, veneers can also alter their size, shape, and arrangement. Do you have spaces between your front teeth, or teeth that are worn or chipped?

Veneers can make these defects go away.

They have a pleasing naturalness and will last for many years when properly performed. Thinking about changing your smile? Ask your dentist if this technology can work for you.

OBITUARY

Jack the Clipper & Linda the Snipper Barber/Stylist Shop

Clayton J. ‘CJ’ Graham, 26 GILFORD — Clayton James Graham lost his twelve-year battle with severe mental illness on November 14, 2013.

Sadly, the dark demon of depression pushed him over the edge. Born on April 9, 1987, CJ was the most loving and kind son, a wonderful little brother, and a great uncle. Despite the cruel hand life dealt him, he remained positive and never complained, always looking forward. CJ was a gifted and passionate gardener, a talented artist, and a vet tech student at Great Bay Community College. He had a huge heart for all animals, especially his dog, Xander. He will be missed by his family and friends; the world is a richer, better place because of his life and the love he brought to it. The pain so many of us are feeling is a measure of what he meant to us.

He is survived by his parents, Michael and Cindie Graham of Gilford, NH. He is also survived by two

sisters who loved him beyond measure, Katie Graham of Malden, MA, and Holly Bannon; her husband, James, of Southington, CT and his nephews, Jaden and Graham. Clayton adored them and they loved him so much. He so delighted in his role as “Uncle CJ!” A memorial celebration of his life will be held at the Gilford Community Church on Saturday, November 30 at 11 a.m. Memorial contributions on his behalf can be made to Genesis Behavioral Health, 111 Church Street, Laconia, NH 03246 or to the Gilford Community Church, 19 Potter Hill Road, Gilford, NH 03249.

Pebble Beach Challenge benefit golf tournament underway GILFORD — The Golf Club at Patrick’s Place is inviting area golfers to play at the Lakes Region’s newest golf amenity, The Golf Club at Patrick’s Place, as part of The Pebble Beach Challenge Golf Tournament.

Golfers will play in a 4-person scramble format on the beautiful Pebble Beach Golf Links, rated the top public golf course in the country.

“November is the month for men’s health awareness and we wanted to use our club to help with the local efforts at LRGHealthcare” explains PGA Professional and Club Manager Dan Wilkins. “It’s also getting time for one of the greatest community events we know of, the LNH Children’s Auction, and we wanted to help get the ball rolling for another record breaking year. It’s really our pleasure to open up our club to support both of these great programs”.

Beginning Monday, November 18 through Friday, November 22, local golfers are invited to participate in The Pebble Beach Challenge Golf Tournament, a 4-person scramble. Foursomes can register to play anytime that week, with all scores completed by Friday the 22 at 3 p.m. A cocktail reception and awards ceremony will follow downstairs in Patrick’s Emerald Room at 4 p.m., where best scores and contest winners will be acknowledged.

“Many of the leading causes of death for men, heart disease and cancer for example, are preventable. There are ways men can protect themselves and lead longer, healthier lives” states Dr. Theodore Capron, LRGHealthcare physician at Belknap Family Health in Meredith. “We are pleased that The Golf Club at Patrick’s Place is taking the opportunity to support men’s health with the The Pebble Beach Challenge. It will be a great tournament and a great opportunity to educate men about health care issues, including reminding them about the importance of health promotion.”

“The Pebble Beach Challenge is a great way to help gear up for the upcoming Children’s Auction” explains Michael Trombly, auction chair and General Manager of Binney Media.

“This facility is a really great place to play golf and we can be assured of perfect weather for the tournament. We hope the area golfers will get out and participate in this inaugural event”.

The cost to participate in The Pebble Beach Challenge is $60/pp and includes 18 holes at the famous Pebble Beach Golf Links along with a cocktail awards ceremony with prizes for team and contest winners.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

people anxiously monitor their diet because they are sick, and others do the same to avoid becoming sick. Seek freedom instead.

Go in the direction of easygoing, stress-free moderation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your perceptions are so accurate that you cannot be deceived unless you choose to deceive yourself. This clarity may impel you to point out the truth to a friend who doesn’t see it, but only do so if you are asked.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You didn’t mean to develop these feelings, but that’s love. Whether you fall in or accidentally wander over, the result is the same: You’re suddenly thinking about someone else more than you think of yourself.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19). Relationships make your heart soar. You deserve all of the attention. With many parts of your life in congruence, you easily move forward.

For once your domestic needs are not in competition with your professional needs, and you are able to freely commit to the projects that will take you where you want to go next. Aquarius and Libra people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 3, 21, 20 and 14.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The people who are opposed to your getting what you want are not your enemies. They are your trainers. They’ll make you strong by providing the resistance that makes you grow into your best self.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The people around you need to hear about your accomplishments, but not now. A confident person has more than he shows and speaks less than he knows.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Blaming just isn’t your thing. You accept total responsibility for your life. And yet, when it’s your turn to accept praise, you deflect and let others have the glory.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People know they can share their dreams with you, and you won’t impose your own reality uninvited. Hope is all that some people have. Only the cruel would take it away.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You admire those who have done well for themselves, but do not assume that riches always follow hard work. You’ll meet those who came into wealth through nepotism or calculated exploitation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It’s a day of cravings, yearnings and longings. It’s good to have such a visceral response to life, because it makes wanting very clear. Knowing what you want makes life a game. Also, it’s more fun than not knowing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mysteries of the universe are not trying to be mysterious. They can’t help it that we haven’t figured them out yet. Today you’ll flirt with problems that probably won’t be solved in this lifetime, but it will open your mind to try.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If there’s not enough love in your life, even the trees can sense your sadness. Make it a priority to fill your heart. It’s not just for you. The world needs your happiness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re in the mood to spend money on identity enhancements. Just remember that it’s your attitude more than anything else that makes you cool or not cool.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 19, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Nov. 19, the 323rd day of 2013. There are 42 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address as he dedicated a national cemetery at the site of the Civil War battlefield in Pennsylvania.

On this date: In 1600, King Charles I of England was born in Dunfermline, Fife, Scotland.

In 1794, the United States and Britain signed Jay’s Treaty, which resolved some issues left over from the Revolutionary War. In 1831, the 20th president of the United States, James Garfield, was born in Orange Township, Ohio.

In 1887, American poet Emma Lazarus, who’d written “The New Colossus” to help raise money for the Statue of Liberty’s pedestal, died in New York at age 38.

In 1919, the Senate rejected the Treaty of Versailles by a vote of 55 in favor, 39 against, short of the two-thirds majority needed for ratification.

In 1942, during World War II, Russian forces launched their winter offensive against the Germans along the Don front.

In 1959, Ford Motor Co. announced it was halting production of the unpopular Edsel.

In 1969, Apollo 12 astronauts Charles Conrad and Alan Bean made the second manned landing on the moon.

In 1985, President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev met for the first time as they began their summit in Geneva.

In 1990, the pop duo Milli Vanilli were stripped of their Grammy Award because other singers had lent their voices to the “Girl You Know It’s True” album.

In 1997, Iowa seamstress Bobbi McCaughey gave birth to septuplets, four boys and three girls. The space shuttle Columbia zoomed into orbit on a two-week science mission.

In 2001, President George W. Bush signed legislation to put airport baggage screeners on the federal payroll.

Ten years ago: During his state visit to London, President Bush urged Europe to put aside bitter war disagreements with the United States and work to build democracy in Iraq or risk turning the nation over to terrorists. A U.S.-Canadian investigation found that the Aug. 14, 2003 blackout should have been contained by operators at Ohio’s FirstEnergy Corp.; the investigators also faulted Midwest regional monitors.

Five years ago: Al-Qaida’s No. 2, Ayman al-Zawahri, slurred Barack Obama as a black American who does the bidding of whites in a new Web message intended to dent the president-elect’s popularity among Arabs and Muslims.

One year ago: With no deal in sight to end the conflict, Israel and Hamas continued to exchange fire; more than three dozen Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks and fighters in Gaza fired 95 rockets at southern Israel. President Barack Obama, the first U.S. president to visit Myanmar, promised more American help if the Asian nation keeps building its new democracy.

WHY WE ARE PICKETING DUNKIN’ DONUTS

Dunkin’ Donuts told the City of Laconia in 2008, that they would “restore and maintain” the building known as Hathaway House while trying to lease or sell said building. They did neither – in fact, they practiced ‘demolition by neglect’ by letting the building fall in disrepair. The owners of Dunkin’ Donuts lied to the residents of Laconia and are planning to tear down the building. We ask that you support the boycott of Dunkin’ Donuts at the following locations: Union Avenue and South Main Street as well as those locations next to Gilford Mobile Mart and Airport Country Store in Gilford and Alton Bay.

Bridgewater-Hebron mom hosting spaghetti dinner fundraiser for fourth grader on Friday

BRIDGEWATER— For Halloween he dressed up as the Incredible Hulk. He loves monster trucks, as well as dirt bikes, fishing, his PS3 and zipping around on his go kart.

Ty Clark of Groton is a typical fourth grader at BridgewaterHebron Village School (BHVS)—except the disease he is battling Ty Clark (Courtesy photo) isn’t typical.

Bridgewater-Hebron fourth grade moms are hosting a spaghetti dinner fundraiser at the Bridgewater Town Hall on Friday, November 22 from 5 – 7 p.m.

Dinner will be $5 per person, kids five and under eat free. There will also be raffle prizes, including a “Kimono” quilt made and donated by Linda Punturieri of Moultonborough, with all proceeds from the evening benefitting Ty and his family in his battle against lymphoma.

Ty was born with undersized kidneys. On June 8 of this year, Ty underwent a kidney transplant. At first things were going well, but subsequently he was diagnosed with an Epstein-Barr virus and infectious mononucleosis, which led to the development of post-transplant lymphoma. He spent five weeks over at Children’s Hospital

at Dartmouth (CHaD) at the beginning of the school year, and since October 5, has been traveling back to CHaD once a week for treatment. His 18-weeks of treatment are scheduled to end in early February 2014.

His mom, Heather, explains between the six medications he is taking, in-home nurse visits and the gas for trips back and forth to CHaD for chemo, the financial impact to their family has been significant. All the while, Ty can’t take his anti-rejection medications for the new kidney. So far, so good, but the fear he could loose after all this does linger as a possibility.

For now it is one day at a time, and Ty is feeling fortunate to have had little to no side effects from the chemo—his hair has thinned a bit. He is keeping up on his school work with the help of a tutor and when his white blood cell count is up, he enjoys visiting his classmates at BHVS. Heather says, “This challenge has changed Ty in that he is more willing to share what is going on. He has grown up a bit as he has to speak up and be his own advocate. And he has learned his friends will be there for him no matter what. That is comforting to him.”

Heather says she, her husband Roy, and other two sons Nathan and Dakota, have been overwhelmed and blessed by the support from all the surrounding towns.

“It is amazing,” she says. “You don’t know it is out there until it happens. We were definitely surprised by how the community has come together to help.”

To follow Ty’s progress, visit his information page at: www.caringbridge.org/visit/tyclark.

SANBORNTON — The Sanbornton Congregational Church – UCC in partnership with the Sanbornton Town Library will be showing the film “The Birth of Christ” on Wednesday, December 4 as part of the monthly film series. The film will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on the second floor of the library.

“The Birth of Christ” is a Christmas Cantata by Andrew T. Miller. This inspiring, musical celebration brings the Christmas story to vivid life through

song, as the timeless characters--Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth and the shepherds-- reveal their humanity and passion through the music. Recorded live in Ireland, this historic premiere brings together a chorus of Catholic and Protestant singers who raise their voices in unity and peace around the central mystery of their faith.

For further information call the library at 286-8288 or visit the church’s web site at uccsanbornton.org.

‘The Birth of Christ’ is next in Sanbornton Film Series

Thursday at Family Resource Center

“Borrowing Basics” is based on an evidence-based curriculum titled “Money Smart.” On November 21, participants will learn how to define “credit” and “loan”, identify three types of loans, the costs associated with getting a loan, and learn why it is important to be cautious of rent-to-own, payday loans, and refund anticipation services.

Those interested in registering or for more information can contact the LRCS Family Resource Center at 581- 1577 and speak with Erin Klasen or e-mail erink@lrcs.org. Attendees will be entered into a drawing to win a $25 gift card and will be given a certificate upon completion.

HomeAssist program available for local residents

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) was called upon to fill a service gap in 2012, which lead to the creation of HomeAssist services to people in southern Grafton County. The highly successful program recently expanded to cover all of Belknap County when the previous service provider, Central NH VNA, declined to pursue their contract with the State Bureau of Elderly and Adult Services (BEAS).

HomeAssist provides non-medical hands-on services for aging seniors such as meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, escort and transportation, medication reminders, assistance with personal care, household responsibilities and general companionship. Experienced personnel from the Central NH VNA program have joined the LRCS HomeAssist assuring a smooth transition of services and increasing the capacity to serve more clients in Belknap and So. Grafton Counties The program enables Lakes Region seniors and individuals living with chronic illnesses in Belknap and Southern Grafton Counties to access the supports they need to be able to stay in their homes.

“The HomeAssist Program is grounded in the values and experience that LRCS brings as a local provider that knows first hand how to support families. We understand the importance of building relationships and our approach is both resourceful and flexible. We treat people how we would want to be treated,” said Shannon Kelley, Director of Community Support Services.

Whether one can pay for the services privately or qualify for the Medicaid Home and Community Based Care Choices for Independence Program, the BEAS Title 20 Block Grant or have long term health insurance options, the LRCS HomeAssist Program provides the framework and supports to meet the individual’s needs as directed by the individual or their representative.

For more information or to get assistance through HomeAssist call Lakes Region Community Services 524-8811 or visit www.lrcs.org.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My sister-in-law, “Marie,” has been diagnosed as bipolar, but doesn’t take any medication. For 25 years, it has caused serious trouble. Marie is a spiteful, evil, controlling human being. You can’t find a single person in town with a kind word to say about her. Her own daughters try to keep their distance.

My brother is afraid to leave her and instead seeks the company of other women. He’s had many affairs during their marriage. All of the men he works with are aware of this and even encourage it because they see how awful his wife is.

As brothers, we were always close, but Marie has managed to sever our relationship. My brother is not a healthy man. He works extra hours in order to stay away from home. His latest girlfriend is a beautiful, kind, sweet woman. He adores her, but is afraid of what Marie might do. She has threatened to destroy his life if he ever leaves her. Her threats are real.

While we do not condone his cheating, the family has witnessed his painful marriage. What can we do? -- Brother to Brother Dear Brother: Marie should not be allowing her bipolar disease to control her behavior. It would help if your brother could get her to see a doctor and find a medication that works for her. If she refuses and your brother is truly afraid to leave because of her threats, this would be considered emotional abuse. Suggest that he contact the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (dahmw.org) at 1-888-7HELPLINE. Dear Annie: My older brother will be 60 this year, and he and his friends are hosting a group party in another state. His entire family lives here, including his son. That means for the majority of the guests, attending will include travel and hotel expenses. I am fine with that. What I don’t get is that this event isn’t offering any meals. That means dinner is on us,

and we will have to pay for drinks at the party. I think this is just plain wrong.

We are a small family and very close. I have invited my brother to numerous dinners here over the years. I suggested that we celebrate his birthday with a family dinner at my house, and he said, “That is not going to happen.” I don’t know what to think. -- Party Pooper, Santa Cruz Dear Party: We are confused by the words “hosting a party” when the guests are paying for everything. Nonetheless, your brother can have the party of his choosing in the location he prefers, and you get to decide whether or not to attend. Determine how important it is for you to be there. If your brother would be hurt by your absence, please go if you can afford to do so.

Dear Annie: This is for “Searching for Answers,” whose wife of 11 years doesn’t want sex. She works in a profession, maintains a home, runs five miles a day to keep herself in shape and is raising three young kids. I’d like to offer him my insight of 73 years, 46 of which have been spent married to my wonderful wife.

Sex is like the frosting on a cake. It tops off a good thing.

But frosting without the cake is not satisfying. Those who marry in order to have an easy source of sex should work out some other way to satisfy their needs. A marriage where sex is the prime motivation will become tedious and dull or will not last.

Marriage consists of many things, some good, some bad. It is living day to day in a quiet routine. It means that you have a close companion with whom you can share a sunset. Think before you throw in the towel on your marriage and give up the cake for the frosting. -- An Old Guy Who’s Been There
