Yellow balloon no cause for celebration for some Gilford residents

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — A balloon was flying over the homes on David Lewis Road yesterday, but several property owners in the quiet, wooded neighborhood were not celebrating. Flown to mimic the height of a proposed

cellular telephone antenna tower, the balloon did nothing to ease the concerns of property owners whose lots are 100 feet from the base of the tower.

New Cingular Wireless PCS, doing business as AT&T, and American Tower Corporation, LLC, the construction man-

ager, have applied to erect the 100-foot monopole tower with 12 antennas on the southeast corner of a 48-acre tract owned by the Traditional Cathloics of New Hampshire, much of which consists of the Bolduc Farm managed by Armand and Ernice Bolduc.

“I’m going to fight this tooth and nail,” said Kevin Lacasse, whose home at 38 David Lewis Road sits due east of the proposed site of the tower. Eying the balloon drifting above the tree line, he discounted the test since the breeze kept the balsee BALLOON page 12

LACONIA — Police Commission Chair Warren Clements said yesterday that he would like to know how much money in maintenance and repairs it costs the department to keep older police vehicles on the road.

Clements said he was specifically referring to vehicles with 70,000 or more miles on them.

Captain Bill Clary said it’s a difficult number to provide see CRUISERS page 13

On November 22, 1963 at 1:30 p.m. EST, John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, was shot while riding in an open limousine in Dallas. One-half hour later, doctors at a nearby hospital pronounced him dead.

747 lands at wrong too small, Wichita airport

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — The pilot of a Boeing 747 jumbo jet mistakenly landed at a small Kansas airport not far from the Air Force base where it was supposed to deliver parts for the company’s new 787 Dreamliner.

The 747 intended to touch down at McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, which is next to a company that makes large sections of the 787.

Instead, the cargo flight landed 8 miles north, at the smaller Col. James Jabara Airport.

Hours later, the jet took off again and was expected to land soon at its original destination.

The plane landed in an area where there are three airports with similar runway configurations: the Air Force base, the Jabara airfield and a third facility in between called Beech Airport.

Boeing owns the plane, but it is operated

by Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, a New Yorkbased cargo-hauler that also provides crews or planes to companies that need them.

N.H. Senate rejects plan to expand Medicaid CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s Republican Senate rejected plans to extend Medicaid coverage to an estimated 49,000 poor adults Thursday, ending hopes for expansion this year.

Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan said afterward she will keep trying to win legislative authorization.

“Our providers are ready for expanded health coverage, our businesses are ready, our people are ready, and I am ready,” Hassan said in a statement. “We will keep working

and there will be more votes. I hope that at some point, a few Senate Republicans will set ideology aside and step forward to do what is right. Until then, it is the people who are hurt, and it is the people whom senators must answer to.”

Senate President Chuck Morse, a Salem Republican, said he remains committed to working for a bipartisan solution.

“Unfortunately, while we are very close in principle, there are still significant details that separate us,” he said.

New Hampshire is one of seven states still undecided whether to expand Medicaid under the federal health care law.

Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia expanded coverage, and 18 states have rejected expansion. The Legislature’s failure to authorize expansion does not preclude New Hampshire from considering the issue again as expected next year.

States can expand coverage and later drop it at any time. see MEDICAID page 14

Senate Democrats vote to curb 60 vote threshold on appointments WASHINGTON (AP) — Sweeping aside a century of precedent, Democrats took a chunk out of the Senate’s hallowed filibuster tradition on Thursday and cleared the way for speedy confirmation of controversial appointments made by President Barack Obama and chief executives in the future.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who orchestrated the change, called the 52-48 vote a blow against gridlock. Repub-

licans warned Democrats will eventually regret their actions once political fortunes are reversed and they can no longer block appointments made by a GOP president.

At the White House, Obama welcomed the shift. “The gears of government have got to work,” he said, and he declared that Republicans had increasingly used existing rules “as a reckless and relentless tool to grind all business to a halt.”

But Republicans warned of a power grab

by Democrats, some predicting that worse was yet to come. “This drastic move sets a dangerous precedent that could later be expanded to speed passage of expansive and controversial legislation,” said Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.

The day’s change involved presidential appointees, not legislation — and not see SENATE page 13

Dow Jones stock average closes above 16,000 for the first time

NEW YORK (AP) — The Dow Jones industrial average finished above 16,000 for the first time Thursday as the blue-chip index races toward its best performance in a decade.

The Dow has been on fire lately, propelled higher by a combination of solid corporate earnings, a steadily strengthening economy

and easy-money policies from the Federal Reserve.

Since the start of the year, the Dow is up 22 percent and has now topped three 1,000 point milestones in 10 months. It eclipsed 14,000 in February and 15,000 in May. If it holds onto its gains, it would notch its

Florida congressman enters rehab after cocaine charge

FORT MYERS, Fla. (AP) — Florida Republican Rep. Henry “Trey” Radel, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of cocaine possession and received a year’s probation, said Thursday he has checked himself into a rehabilitation center.

The freshman lawmaker said in a statement that he is seeking treatment and counseling in a Florida center for his drug and alcohol abuse.

“It is my hope, through this process, I will come out a better man,” Radel said. “I will work hard to gain back the trust and support of my constituents, friends and most importantly, my family.”

On Wednesday, Radel called a late-night press conference to announce that he is taking a leave of absence from Congress and donating his salary to charity.

“I’m not going to sit here and make any excuses for what I’ve done,” he told reporters. “I have let down our country. I’ve let down our constituents.

I’ve let down my family, including my wife. And even though he doesn’t know it, I’ve let down my 2-yearold son.”

The 37-year-old lawmaker said he takes responsibility for what he did.

At a court hearing earlier Wednesday in Washington, Radel told a judge, “I’ve hit a bottom where I realize I need help” in acknowledging that he purchased 3.5 grams of cocaine from an undercover police officer.

As part of the plea agreement, Radel admitted he agreed to buy the cocaine for $250 in a Washington neighborhood on Oct. 29. After the undercover officer gave Radel the drugs, federal agents confronted him, court documents show. Radel agreed to talk with the agents and invited them to his apartment, where he also retrieved a vial of cocaine he had in the home, the documents said.

At his news conference in Florida, Radel said he see REHAB page 14

Government weighs permitting cellpone calls on planes WASHINGTON (AP) — Rules against making cellphone calls during airline flights are “outdated,” and it’s time to change them, federal regulators said Thursday, drawing immediate howls of protest from flight attendants, airline officials and others.

Tom Wheeler, the new chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, said in a statement Thursday that the commission was proposing greater in-flight access to mobile broadband. The proposal will be considered at the commission’s Dec. 12 meeting.

“The time is right to review our outdated and restrictive rules,” Wheeler said, adding that modern technologies can deliver mobile services in the air safely and reliably.

The proposal would also allow passengers to use their smartphones to send email and download data. The proposal would apply to flights when they are over 10,000 feet in altitude, but not during takeoffs and landings.

Early reaction was skeptical. Flight attendants and others have worried that a plane full of chattering passengers could lead to arguments and undermine safety.

“Passengers overwhelmingly reject cellphone use in the aircraft cabin. The FCC should not proceed with this proposal,” the Association of Flight Attendants said in a statement in response to the FCC chairman’s comments.

“In far too many operational scenarios, passengers making phone calls could extend beyond a mere nuisance, creating negative effects on aviation safety and security that are great and far too risky,” the flight attendants group said.

American Airlines spokeswoman Andrea Huguely said the airline will wait to see what the FCC does. “However, our Wi-Fi at this time doesn’t allow voice calls.”

“Our customer feedback indicates people may not want that policy but of course tastes and desires change,” JetBlue spokesman Morgan Johnston said in an email. “We would prioritize making the cabin

comfortable and welcoming for all — for those who want cell service and for those who like peace and quiet.”

Henry H. Harteveldt, a travel analyst with Hudson Crossing, said, “There are bad ideas, and then there’s this.”

“Unlike the ability to use their personal electronics and Wi-Fi from gate to gate, passengers don’t want this,” he added. “The constant chatter of passengers on their mobile phones has the potential to further increase tension among already stressed-out passengers. It will be a catalyst for increased cases of ‘air rage.’”

The Federal Aviation Administration recently lifted restrictions on the use of most personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings, but not cellphone calls, which fall under the FCC. The FAA based its decision to ease restrictions on electronic devices on recommendations from an industry advisory group. The same advisory group also recommended that the FCC review its restrictions on phone calls.

The FCC proposal is primarily a response to the advisory group’s recommendation, said an FCC spokesman, who asked not to be named because he was not authorized to release the information in his own name.

The move came just 16 days after Wheeler, a former lobbyist for the cellular telephone industry, took over the post of FCC chairman.

If the agency decides to move ahead with the proposal, it would be just the first step in a long rulemaking process that includes soliciting public comment.

Should the FCC lift its restrictions on cellphone use, airlines would still have the option of deciding whether to equip planes to handle calls and data downloads.

Boys & Girls Club begins drive to raise $2.4 million

By RogeR Amsden THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Boys and Girls Club of the Lakes Region kicked off a $2.4 million capital fund drive at its new facility, the former St. James Episcopal Church on North Main Street, Thursday at noon and received a major donation of $100,000 from the Bank of New Hampshire.

Mark Primeau, president and CEO of the bank which was for years known as Laconia Savings Bank, said ‘’this is our home and we want to make sure we help support the organizations which make a difference in the community.’’

Primeau noted that the club had suffered through hard times in recent years, having had four homes since it was started in 1999, but had persevered and found an ideal new setting. He said the most recent contribution raised the bank’s total contributions to the club to $250,000.

Primeau said that the church is “an ideal location” for the club, just a stone’s throw from Laconia Middle School and across the street from Opechee Park, with its beach, track and playing fields.

Police Chief Chris Adams, president of the club’s board of directors, said ‘’we’re home at last’’ and that the club is excited about the programs it is able to offer in its new location.

In March, the Vestry of the church accepted the club’s offer to purchase the land and buildings for a reported price of $700,000. The property provides 17,000-square-feet of space between the ground floor and half-basement and sits on a 1.3-acre lot.

The new facility includes eight program rooms, which will provide space for academic support, art, small group activity, and computers, a 5,000-square-foot great room for indoor recreation, drama, dance, music, and social opportunities, a modern institutional kitchen for nutrition programs, cooking lessons, independent living skill building, and many meals as well as a spacious community room which house a Kids Cafe and Game Room, as well as being a community resource.

Cheryl Avery, executive director, said that the club will be expanding hours for high school students after the first of the year.

Al Posnack, past president of the club, is chairing the fund drive, which he said has already raised nearly a third of its $2.4 million goal, said that the fund drive is receiving a lot of support from the community because people see the good things that the club is doing.

He said that there are three parts of the fund drive, $700,000 for the purchase of the church property, $700,000 for renovations to the property and $1 million for an endowment fund.

The club was recently awarded a $250,000 grant by the New Hampshire Community Development Finance Authority, which will be applied toward the acquisition of the building.

‘Everything destroyed’ in Laconia garage fire LACONIA — Fire Chief Ken Erickson said a freestanding garage off White Oaks Road that served as the owner’s workshop was destroyed by fire yesterday afternoon.

He said it appears the homeowner had been doing some welding or grinding in his workshop and left to go to a local hardware store around 3 p.m.

Erickson said the garage was fully engulfed in flames and a neighbor called to report the fire. He said Asst. Chief Kirk Beattie could see the plume of smoke from Messer Street and called for a first alarm — bringing help from Gilford to the scene and from Belmont to the city for coverage.

“Everything was destroyed,” said Erickson, adding that the homeowner lost a number of tools, an acetylene torch, a grinder and other similar tools.

He said the garage was some distance from the main home and the fire was in no danger of spreading to nearby buildings. There were no injuries.

Erickson said yesterday was a very hectic day for Laconia and noted that Belmont Firefighters covered two separate calls while Laconia was on White Oaks Road, including a cardiac arrest and a car accident in the parking lot of the Laconia Public Library.

He said one was evaluated in the wake of the car accident.

Car wash burglarized

LACONIA — Police are investigating an overnight burglary at the Laconia Car Wash on upper Union Avenue that was reported to them yesterday morning.

Police said the burglar or burglars broke a window and a door into the office area of the car wash and stole an undisclosed amount of cash.

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

bear market low in March 2009.

Back then, the country was in the worst downturn since the Great Depression, the housing market had collapsed and individual investors had abandoned stocks.

Now, with the economy recovering and confidence returning, small investors are coming back in.

“People are getting out of bonds into stocks,” said Steven Ricchiuto, chief economist at Mizuho Securities. “We’re in the early stages of a recovery.”

The Dow rose 109.17 points, or 0.7 percent, to close at 16,009.99 Thursday. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 14.48 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,795.85.

The Nasdaq composite rose 47.88 points, or 1.2 percent, to 3,969.15.

In a sign that investors are taking on more risk, small-company stocks rose at a much faster pace than the rest of the market. The Russell 2000 index jumped 19.83 points, or 1.8 percent, to 1,119.62.

The Labor Department reported before the market opened that applications for unemployment benefits dropped last week to the lowest level since September. The number of applications is close to where it was before the Great Recession.

General Motors rose after the U.S. government said it expects to sell its remaining stake in the company by the end of the year. The Treasury Department got shares after bailing out GM five years ago, but once its sells, the automaker will be free of restrictions on executive pay that came with the bailout. It would also be free to pay dividends if it chooses.

GM gained 43 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $38.12. The stock is up 32 percent this year.

“Having the Treasury out is probably something that is going to be positive for the shares,” said Jeff Morris, head of U.S. equities at Standard Life Investments. “Some investors are probably a bit spooked by having a meaningful amount of government ownership.”

Jim Hightower

Low-paid workers; high-flying executives

Sometimes it pays just to go away. You could ask Jim Skinner about that. He was CEO of the hamburger behemoth, McDonald’s, pulling down a hefty $8.8 million in pay. Last year, though, Skinner retired, and, rather than getting a gold watch, he was given a load of gold — so large that even a Brink’s armored truck would have been too small to haul it all away. His salary of $753,000 was the least of it. The Big Mac chain also served up $1.7 million to the chief in stock and $3 million in option awards.

Then it slathered on another $10.2 million in retirement pay. All that was topped by a super-rich dessert: $11.6 million in “incentive pay.”

What? Why does a guy with millions already on his food tray need any incentive to do his job? Maybe because Skinner found it hard to stomach the biggest part of his job, which was to pay poverty wages to McDonald’s workers, shove thousands of them onto food stamps and other programs paid for by taxpayers, and lobby aggressively to prevent any increases in the minimum wage or any tax hikes on uber-rich elites like him.

It’s dirty work, but Skinner did it, finally skipping away with a 2012 pay package totaling $27.7 million.

Yet, in the phantasmagoric plutocracy of CorporateLand, too much is not enough. Last year, for the first time ever, the 10 highest-paid CEOs in America hauled in at least $100 million each, even as the great majority of workaday families have lost income.

This gaping (and ever-widening) inequality is the greatest threat to our society’s cohesion. Too few people now control an unconscionable and untenable share of America’s money and power, using it to grab more of both for themselves.

They can build a $100-million wall, but it won’t be high enough to hide their greed from the rest of us.

But there’s an added dimension to this inequality that you might find especially interesting: Not only are low-wage corporations overly generous to their top dogs, but so are you and I. For example, I’m sure you’ll be as delighted as I am to know that we — all of us taxpayers together —

contribute day-in and day-out to the very big global cause of Supersizing McDonald’s.

The world’s largest hamburger chain is a particularly needy charity case, because without your and my generous tax support, the Big Mac bosses in charge would have to pay a living wage to their 860,000-plus American workers. But, thanks to us, the $27 billion-a-year hamburger-flipping flim flammers can get away with paying poverty wages — and then send their workforce to get food stamps, Medicaid, child welfare payments, public housing and other tax-funded poverty benefits. This public subsidy of the Golden Arches adds up to a very golden $1.2 billion a year. What a creative business plan! Who says giant corporations aren’t enterprising?

Well, sniff the chain’s top executives; we operate on razor-thin profit margins, so we can’t afford to throw money at workers. Really?

Last year’s $5.6 billion in profits doesn’t sound thin to me. Also, note that McDonald’s more than tripled the pay of its new CEO last year, elevating him from $4.1 million to $13.8 million.

But what really galls its workers (whose low wages and forced parttime schedules mean they average less than $12,000 a year) is that the taxpayer-subsidized profiteer laid out a fat $35 million in October to add a brand new executive jet to its corporate fleet. This one is a “Bombardier 605” with the full package of luxurious amenities, and it cost $2,500 an hour to fly it.

Just flying one hour on the Bombardier cost more than the combined hourly wages of more than 300 McDonald’s workers. Remember, you’re subsidizing this. Aren’t you just “Lovin’ it,” as the chain’s ad slogan puts it? To tell McDonald’s CEO that this is immoral, go to OurFuture.org.

(Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist.

The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)

Remember what happened with Medicaid next time you vote To The Daily Sun, I have just learned that Senate Republican leaders have walked away from the bargaining table, saying that it’s too complicated, that there are “too many moving parts” to figure out a compromise to accept $2.4 billion in federal funding to give 50,000 Granite Staters Medicaid coverage. Governor Hassan has offered a compromise that is 90 percent of the Republican plan, but Senate Republican leaders have refused to budge, or even suggest a counter-proposal. Insuring 50,000 new people will take a strain off

our state, and the $2.4 billion in federal funding will be a boost to our economy and create jobs. This could have been a win/win situation demonstrating honest negotiation, free from partisan politics.

When 50,000 plus New Hampshire residents are uninsured or underinsured, those of us with insurance will foot the bill with increasing cost of health care and rising health insurance premiums. Remember how that happened the next time you go to the polls.

LETTERS I have seen so many people without health insurance suffer To The Daily Sun, I read your letter, Mr. Boutin, and all I can say is WOW! Instead on addressing points I brought up in my letter you took it upon yourself to just spend your time insulting me. You implied I was not well educated and was brain dead. I had a very good education of which I paid for. However, my choice of careers was in the field of social services. I spent most of my time working with poor and low-income people and on issues that reflected on their lives.

Thus the reason for my concern for people and equality.

Regardless of what you think you will never change my mind about people, regardless of their income status, having access to health insurance. I have seen to many people, without insurance, suffer and even die for lack of care because they can’t pay for it. Granted when the condition gets so bad you end up in an ambulance and in the hospital and then will get the care. But once stabilized you are discharged and told to follow up with your doctor and most uninsured

people do not have doctors so in the end they return to the hospital even worse. Those expenses go unpaid and all of us with insurance end up paying because as I stated before lab fees, hospital room rates, lab tests, etc. prices all go up.

You and Mr. Ewing seem to think young people are invincible and do not have serious medical problems. Well these people do get cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes and many other serious medical problems. So yes they do need insurance if they are over the age of 26 or no longer live with their parents.

I should know better after all these years to answer any of your letters because you enjoy insulting people and saying mean things to them. You do not debate an issue. It is your way or no way and anyone who doesn’t agree with you is wrong. I can assure you I will not respond to another of your letters and, in fact, will avoid even reading anything you write because all you express is anger and hate.

Politicians are too busy pandering to nutty views on extremes To The Daily Sun, Voters have finally had it with the partisan bickering. Republicans are beginning to see the handwriting on the wall. During this holiday season there aren’t enough nut crackers in existence to crack all the nuts in their party. Talk is beginning to emerge for “non–partisan” primaries, which would be a step in the right direction and draw both parties toward the middle, where compromise is possible.

Extremists need only to look in the mirror for the cause of our problems.

Politicians are too busy pandering to their nutty extremist views rather than concentrate on the public good.

The advantages of “non-partisan” elections are many. To name a few: 1. Helps eliminate “extreme” candidates from the process.

2. Independents and third-party candidates have a better chance of beating traditional candidates.

3. Candidates are more free to state their true beliefs rather than pander-

ing to the nuts in their own party.

4. Reduces the gamesmanship that goes on in party politics.

5. Eliminates blind, straight-ticket voting where uninformed voters simply bow to their party ideals regardless of the merits of the individual candidates.

6. More than anything, this is an alternative to the present system, which is broken.

Several states have already adopted this method, among them California, where Arnold Schwarzenegger was chosen on 48.6 percelnt of the ballots and won by 1.3 million votes.

Think about it. Politicians beholding to their constituencies rather than the party that got them elected. What a novel idea. Perhaps then we will not see horrid legislation that cuts food stamps for veterans and other homeless people. Just for that I’m adding another oxymoron to my lexicon —”Compassionate Republican”.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, November 22, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS Regional planning commissions don’t want you to know

A narcissistic, incompetent witch with delusions of grandeur

To The Daily Sun, What follows is a true New Hampshire story. It’s relevant if you live up north in Pittsburg, down south in Hollis, west in Claremont or east in Rye. Last night the Selectmen of Loudon, N.H. asked me to come to one of their regular meetings. I don’t live in Loudon.

Months ago I authored a pamphlet titled Granite State Future — The Real Facts. It was given to the Loudon Selectmen a month ago and they wanted to know more about the topic. You can read the pamphlet here: http://go.timcarter.com/GSF. I walked into the meeting room and just three men were sitting at a standard folding cafeteria table passing letters to one another and then depositing them into a large plastic bin. It was a bureaucratic conveyor belt.

No one else was there, even though there were 40 soft chairs to sit in. No one. Not one Loudon citizen was in the room watching decisions being made.

Not one citizen was there participating. Are you one of these people in your town?

After 15 minutes, Mr. Krieger cordially asked me to approach the folding table and introduce myself for the record. They asked me to tell them about the Granite State Future. I did.

“Are you telling me you’ve not been contacted by Michael Tardiff, the executive director of the Central New Hampshire Regional Planning

To The Daily Sun, I read here on Friday that Henry Osmer is critical of the Republican potential presidential candidates.

Henry should expand his sources of information because MSNBC and the Huffington Report are about as low as, what was that term Henry used, oh yea, whale waste. I’m sure he is so very proud of the Democratic front runner, Mrs. Clinton.

You know I remember in 2008 she and her campaign promoted the idea that if that 3 a.m. call came she was the one the nation could trust to answer it. Well that call did eventually come. What happened was that our ambassador was butchered along with three other brave Americans by radical Muslim extremists. How did Mrs. Clinton handle this? She embarked on an extended two week lie, telling the world it was a demon-

Commission about the Granite State Future,” I said.

“No we haven’t. We have NO CLUE what the Granite State Future is about.”

“Well, for starters you should go to GraniteStateFutures.org,” I suggested.

Wow. I almost fell over I was so shocked. I shouldn’t have been, because this is the same thing I’m encountering all over the state. Selectmen in countless N.H. towns have not heard about the Granite State Future, even though it’s been in motion since February, 2012.

On that dark day the nine N.H. regional planning commissions signed a legally binding contract with the federal government mandating N.H. zoning and planning mirror what the Federal government wants, not what you or your selectmen want.

Why didn’t Mr. Tardiff come to Loudon months ago — before I showed up last night? That’s easy. The nine N.H. regional planning commissions don’t want you or your selectmen to know what’s going on. They don’t want you to know they control every aspect of your life here in N.H. They don’t want to remind any elected officials that they, the RPCs, are filled with unelected bureaucrats making critical decisions about every aspect of your life. It’s time for you to wake up.

Tim Carter Meredith

Cafua Management, do the right thing; honor your commitment To The Daily Sun, OK, OK, I’ll admit it. I have a mild addiction to Dunkin’ Donuts iced coffee (medium, one Splenda and milk, please). I’m pretty sure my habit of swinging in to the Union Avenue drive-through has supported at least replacement windows in the beautiful Hathaway House — first across the street and then next door. I’ve also frequented the Dunkin’ Donuts shops on the South Side of Laconia and the ones dotting the Gilford, Belmont and Alton landscapes. However, because I feared for the Hathaway House, the last few months, I have taken my trip for coffee down the Avenue to #644 and into Aroma Joe’s. I have found their coffee has a fuller, more robust flavor than Dunkin’s (I never thought I would say that)! Yes, unfortunately, my iced habit there is more expensive and Aroma Joe’s does not offer senior discounts, of which I have become a great fan! However, I feel it is important to support those businesses that support Laconia.

The folks who purchased the property for Dunkin’s promised us, the City on the Lakes, that they would preserve and protect one of our gems of treasure here. That promise stated that Cafua Management would preserve the Hathaway House. Cafua’s representative Greg Nolan assured the city that this lovely structure would be preserved, promising that the building would be additionally protected by a fire alarm and a fire suppression system.

Recently, Laconia lost another beautiful structure when Cantin’s Chevrolet dealership decided it needed space for another six cars. Was that really

It’s time for Laconia to come together and preserve what is left of our structural heritage. Last night, I attended a presentation held at The Belknap Mill featuring New Hampshire’s own Rebecca Rule. I was seated next to a gentleman from the Tilton Veteran’s Home who sat in his wheelchair marveling at the brick and mortar of The Mill. Thanks to a handful of devoted Laconia citizens and business owners, this building was saved from the wrecking ball more than 40 years ago and this year celebrates its 190th birthday. Countless school children have toured the mill, learning of their ancestor’s work history and learning to operate the hosiery machinery as their great, great’s did so many generations ago. Many celebrations, exhibits, and concerts are held at The Belknap Mill throughout the year. I am grateful for those who fought to protect this incredible mill.

Back in the 70s our family restored a stagecoach inn originally built in 1785 on Parade Road called The Davenport Tavern (owned at one time by Isaac Currier). It wasn’t easy but knowing that we saved this fine historical building for Laconia is greatly satisfying. We’ve left a little piece of history here that is unique only to Laconia.

So, dear Heritage Committee, yes, I will continue to boycott Dunkin’ Donuts, I’ll sign your petition, I’ll march in protest of this demolition and, although I said I was finished being on boards and committees, sign me up for yours! And to Cafua Management, do the right thing. Honor your word. Thank you.

stration which got out of hand. A demonstration fueled by a YouTube video no one had ever heard of. We know now they knew almost at once it was a terrorist attack. Finally when questioned by Congress as to the details her response was, “What does it really matter?”

The pride must just swell in your breast, Henry. And yes she indeed could be the next President of the United States. For my part I intend to write my opinions of this narcissistic, incompetent witch with delusions of grandeur. Let all the unthinking drones of socialism say what they will I will speak the truth as I see the truth to be. Up to this point in history Mrs. Clinton, President Obama and company have proven my words to be true far better then I ever could.

Steve Earle Hill

Obama’s grade point average at Columbia was impressive 3.7 To The Daily Sun, Hate will often blind us to reason and truth. In Mr. Earle’s latest submission to this forum, he makes a travesty of our Constitution and democratic ideals.

While our Constitution provides for an accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, Earle establishes guilt of the president for defrauding Columbia and Harvard without any proof, just the highly suspect claims he has read from e-mails and conservative blogs he purports to be sites he “trusts.” To further exacerbate his scorn for the rights of individuals, rather than prove guilt, Earle would have me prove the president’s innocence.

The concept of the presumption of innocence is one of our most basic rights and this concept is embodied in several provisions of the Constitution.

I don’t expect an apology from Earle, but in response to his paranoid nonsense referencing Obama’s academic

achievement, I would like to highlight the facts that Obama was elected president of the Harvard Law Review, considered the most prestigious law review in the country, as the first black president in its 104-year history. The position is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School. The president graduated magna cum laude (With High Honor) in 1991. Despite what Earle contends, this honor cannot happen with poor grades.

In his book, “Barack Obama: The Story”, Obama is quoted as saying that his grade point average at Columbia was an impressive 3.7, not the average “pot smoking, class skipping, poor student” Earle would like to portray him as. I’m sure if Earle wants to continue with this contention he will provide us the appropriate resources to explore these claims.

KENNEDY from page one the radio broadcast that the president had been shot,” he recalled. Classes for the day ended soon afterward.

Leahy and the other students learned the president had died when an announcement came over the intercom as they were preparing the leave the building. Leahy eventually went on to teach history at Laconia High School.

He recalled that when the Challenger explosion happened in 1986 he told his students that that event would have the same lasting impact on them as the Kennedy assassination had for him. “It was something they would always remember,” he said.

On every Nov. 22, Bess Hanson of Center Harbor thinks as much about her late husband as she thinks of John F. Kennedy. Lewis C. Hanson had risen to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Air Force and had the privilege of serving as the co-pilot on Air Force 1 for a couple of years in the early 1960s. His tenure in that position included flying the president and the first lady to Dallas, the last flight Kennedy would take in his life. Bess recalled walking up the stairway in their Center Harbor home when she heard the bulletin announced on the television. “It was such a shock, all I remember is that I had gone upstairs, and I heard it and I couldn’t believe it.” As shocked as she was, the news hit her husband even harder. “He was almost crazy about it. He couldn’t believe it,” she said. Lewis, who passed away about seven years ago, alternated between astonishment that someone would do such a thing, and anger that it had been done. He has such respect for the president, Bess explained, that Kennedy’s death was nearly as traumatic for him as the murder of a family member. “It really did affect him a lot.

He was going around here in a daze for a week.”

Gordon King of Laconia was sitting in the apartment where he and his wife, Mary, were living in Meredith. “We heard the news (bulletin) on TV. It was Walter Cronkite announcing the president had been shot,” he said. “We were

stunned like everybody else. We said in front of the TV for the next four days” watching the coverage of the funeral cortege, the lying in state, the shooting of alleged assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, and Kennedy’s funeral and burial.

King said today’s anniversary of the assassination prompted him to pull out the issues he kept of Live, Look and Saturday Evening Post magazines which were published soon after the event.

Instead of thinking of Kennedy’s assassination on every Nov. 22, Esther Peters of Laconia chooses to remember the young man that she had the pleasure of interviewing more than a half-century ago.

Peters ran a well-known radio program in Laconia that interviewed President John F. Kennedy delivers a speech at a rally in Fort Worth, Texas several hours before his assassination in this people of note, whether November 22, 1963 photo by White House photographer Cecil Stoughton obtained from the John F.

from preceding page Administration. “It was a nice day in Baltimore, we were all at our desks.

I was in data processing.” The nice day was interrupted when the woman who operated the facility’s switchboard came over the intercom to make an announcement. “There was a report that Kennedy had been shot in Texas,” Finn recalled hearing. With that, all work stopped as everyone around him talked about Kennedy and tried to absorb the report. When the voice returned to the intercom, their shock turned to sadness. “You could tell she was crying. The report was confirmed and he had died.” Finn was from Boston, where his father was a staunch Democrat who helped Kennedy’s campaign for the U.S. Senate. Seeing Kennedy elected to the nation’s highest office was a point of “local pride.” He said he was “stunned” to hear of his death. “I couldn’t believe someone would even try to kill the president. It was surreal.”

“I was watching ‘As the World Turns’,” said City Councilor Brenda Baer. “Soap operas were very popular in those days. I remember the father and son were in a coffee shop when the program was interrupted with a news flash from Walter Cronkite that the president had been shot.” she continued. “It was the most devastating day and it was like the earth stood still for days after. Everyone was wandering around like lost souls.” Baer, then 37, described herself as “a big JFK fan,” adding that while she remembered President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “this guy blew FDR out of the water.

He was of our generation. He had young kids like we did. We could identify with him. It was just devastating.”

In November of this year, as he has in Novembers of decades past, Merrill Fay is racing to put boats into winter storage at Fay’s Boatyard in Gilford.

In 1963, Fay was a 27 year-old who had just left the U.S. Army and was beginning his work at the boatyard.

He was in the middle of a typical fall chore — preparing the chains to hoist a boat to its seasonal resting place — when a regular customer in a “big old Cadillac” came racing into the yard.

“He jumped out of the car and spread the news,” said Fay. Kennedy had only very recently been Fay’s commanderin-chief, and he respected the president for “standing up to Khrushchev.”

“He was a young president who was trying to do well by us,” Fay recalled.

Rep. Frank Tilton of Laconia was a first lieutenant in the United States Army, commanding an engineering company in the 8th Infantry Division

stationed in Wiesbaden, Germany looking forward to dinner with his fiancee Liz when he heard the news over the radio. He said that Liz was staying at a hotel in Dexheim, a village north of Wiesbaden, and they planned to dine at the Von Steuben Hotel, what he called one of three “American hotels” in Wiesbaden.

“Liz came on the train,” Tilton recalled, “and she said that what struck her the most was how somber the German passengers were.” Tilton said that units in Germany were always in a high state of readiness in 1963 and could not recall any special measures were taken in the wake of the assassination. Without television, he said that “we kept up with the news on the Armed Forces Radio Network and went about whatever else we were doing.”

Candace Daigle, the Belmont Town Planner and a life-long Gilmanton resident, remembers being 10-yearsold and being at the Gilmanton Elementary School, which at the time was the Gilmanton Academy – now the Gilmanton Town Hall. Daigle recalls all eight grades in Gilmanton being taught in four classrooms. “I only remember all of us being taken into one classroom and the TV was on.

Today I wonder where they ever got a TV,” said Daigle.

‘I couldn’t believe it. The wind went right out of me,’’ says Dorothy Duffy of Laconia, who was changing the diapers of her second son, Tim, at her Huntington, Long Island, home when she heard the announcement on television that President Kennedy had been shot. ‘’I went out in the street and started talking to other people. It was all so very sad, It was like everyone felt the need to hug and comfort one another,’’ says Duffy. She said that everyone stayed glued to the television set for the next four days as television networks provided unprecedented blanket coverage which left lasting impressions on everyone who experienced it.

Rep. David Huot of Laconia, who would serve as a judge on the bench for 32 years and as an umpire on the diamond for nearly as long, was preparing for his parallel careers by refereeing an intramural football game at St. Anselm’s College. He remembered being told the president had been shot as he was leaving the field and went straight to his dormitory, where “we were glued to the television through the weekend.” His father, J. Oliva Huot, was mayor of Laconia and together with Bernard Boutin, who managed Kennedy’s presidential campaign in New Hampshire,Thomas see next page

from preceding page McIntyre, who served three terms in the United States Senate, and Hugh Bownes, who served on the Democratic National Committee before his appointment to the federal bench — all from Laconia — represented the nucleus of the JFK camp in the state.

Huot was so moved by the assassination that he and others thought of driving to Washington, but he said “we couldn’t find a car.”

Laconia attorney Bob Hemeon was working for a finance company housed at the time on Water Street. “I remember trying to make a phone call and all the lines were busy,” he said. “For some reason I said, ‘turn the radio on.’” Hemeon described that memory and “very distinctive and clear,” made even more so by the fact he it was between campaigns he worked on for Congressman Oliver “Ollie” Huot who was elected to Congress in 1964. He said he had seen Kennedy speak at the University of New Hampshire during his 1960 campaign and a candidate named Robert Fisher tried to crash the speech. He remembers Kennedy graciously allowing Fisher to speak.

Mary Jane Hoey of Laconia was working at a New York City advertising agency when her roommate called from another firm to tell her that the president had been shot. ‘’I was completely shocked. Our boss told us to take the rest of the day off. I went over to St. Patrick’s Cathedral and then came back to the apartment. I was the only one who had a television so eight or nine of us sat in the living room watching the TV coverage. At one point we talked about driving down to Washington, D.C. to meet the president’s plane when it flew in but decided the only car we had wouldn’t make it to Washington.’’

Hoey said that JFK’s long-time friend Lem Billings worked at the same agency and that Kennedy frequently stopped by to see Billings but that she never spoke directly to him. Hoey later worked in Robert F. Kennedy’s campaign in 1968 and was in the ballroom of the Los Angeles hotel the night RFK was shot. ‘’I heard the shouts turn from joyous to panic and knew he had been shot when his brother-in-law Steve Smith came on the stage and asked if there was a doctor and a priest in the house.’’

Gilford Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan was in the eighth grade at Memorial Middle School in Laconia. “We heard it over the intercom system,” he said. Morgan didn’t remember if the students were released early or not but said he remembers being with his family for the next four days and being glued to the television. He also remembers Ruby shooting Oswald.

On the eve of the 80th meeting between Harvard and Yale on the gridiron of the Yale Bowl, Nancy LeRoy of Laconia was secretary to a dean at Yale, where her husband Newbold was earning his master’s degree in civil engineering. “When we learned what happened in Dallas, the game was cancelled,” she said. She recalled that a friend, who worked at CBS in New York, planned to come to New Haven

for the weekend. “I remember that afternoon she called to say she would be late,” LeRoy said. “She told me everyone was trying to get Walter Cronkite together enough to go on air he was so distraught. “ Richard Heinz of Lakeport was working at the Bergen-Patterson plant in Laconia when his foreman told him that President Kennedy had just been shot. ‘’Everybody was talking about it. I wasn’t that old but it left me a little on the numb side. It was just so hard to believe that something like this could happen.’’

Kathy Preston of the Hampstead Players in Barnstead said she was at Macy’s in New York City buying material for a dress. “I happened to be traveling to the ‘states’,” said the native of Great Britain. She said she was waiting in line to have the clerk cut the material she wished to purchase and when she looked up, the clerk had disappeared.

“Suddenly she’s not there. She has fainted,” recalled Preston. She said her husband Gordon Preston was at a dinner dance in England. She said they have spoken of the moment many times but had not met in November of 1963. “I was shocked,” she said. “Not in America.”

A freshman at the College of the Holy Cross, that Friday Attorney Phil McLaughlin of Laconia was attending a class in modern European history. “Professor Powers was lecturing,” he recalled, “when someone entered the classroom, walked over and spoke to him. Professor Powers took a gasp then looked up and said “the president has been killed” then started to lecture,” McLaughlin continued. “Then he said ‘this won’t do. I’ll dismiss you.’” McLaughlin remembered that students went to the dining hall where over lunch Father Charles Dunn, the dean, announced that the college would be closing and told us everyone should go home and be with their families. As the first Irish Catholic president, McLaughlin said that JFK commanded intense interest and loyalty at Holy Cross and Boston College, especially among those like himself who were “not part of the lace-curtain Irish set.” Calling Kennedy “ a natural leader who could move people,” he said that “he gave dignity and status to people just achieving dignity and status.”

Andre Paquette of Laconia was teaching at Plattsburgh State in upstate New York and had just come out of his classroom when he heard a student say that the president had been shot. ‘’My first reaction was ‘why would anyone want to do that?’ I thought they were talking about the president of the college.

Then I realized that it was President of the United States they were talking about. I was in absolute, total shock after that,’’ Paquette said. He remembers going home and watching the unfolding events on black and white television with his wife. ‘’Everyone was glued to the TV for the next four or five days.’’

Nellie Grant of Tilton remembers just having put her children down for their naps. ‘’I sat down to relax and watch a soap opera when I heard that the presisee next page

pilot followed controllers’ instructions or violated any federal regulations.

The pilot sounds confused in his exchanges with air traffic control, according to audio provided by LiveATC.net.

“We just landed at the other airport,” the pilot tells controllers shortly after the landing.

Once the pilot says they’re at the wrong airport, two different controllers jump in to confirm that the plane is safely on the ground and fully stopped.

The pilot and controllers then go back and forth trying to figure out which airport the plane is at. At one point, a controller reads to the pilot the coordinates where he sees the plane on radar. When the pilot reads the coordinates back, he mixes up “east” and “west.”

“Sorry about that, couldn’t read my handwriting,” the pilot says.

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. If it’s coffee and pastries you want, there are many places here in Laconia that offer great service, here are a few, not including the many fine restaurants around the area:

• Aroma Joe’s on Union Ave. • My Coffee House on Court St. • Circle K on Union Ave. • Cumberland Farms at the Weirs and on Court St. • Awakenings Café on US RT 3 in Gilford • Annie’s Café on Union Ave. Please support us AND Laconia’s history by stopping the destruction of the Hathaway House. It would be nice, if after years of getting monetary support from area residents, if Dunkin’ Donuts gave something back to the community such as, the restoration and use of this landmark.

You may call Dunkin’ Donuts’ Corporate Headquarters to voice your displeasure at: 800-859-5339 or 781-737-5200.

Support the Boycott of Dunkin’ Donuts!

The yellow balloon, tethered by 100 feet of string, floated over 48 David Lewis Road yesterday to simulate the height of a cellular telephone antenna tower that AT&T proposes to erect on a corner of the Bolduc Farm near two homes and a building lot, whose owners seek to forestall the project, which they believe will adversely impact their properties.(Karen Bobotas/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

BALLOON from page one loon from reaching the true height of the tower. “It’s right in my backyard,” he remarked, “where I can look right at it from my hot tub.”

The tower would also overshadow a vacant 5.27acre parcel where Roger Baron plans to build a retirement home. Since the property is intersected by a brook and dotted with wetlands the buildable area is confined to less than two acres in the northwest corner of the lot nearest the proposed site of the tower. “We’re not going to let this go,” Baron said, asking “is the town going to protect the little guy?”

Although the tower would not be as close to the home of Charles and Winifred Hughes at 48 David Lewis Road, the slope of the land would make it very visible from much of their property. Moreover, to reach the tower a 12-foot wide road would be built within a 50-foot right-of-way from David Lewis Road adjacent to their property line. The Hugheses could not be reached, but Lacasse said they share his misgivings about the tower.

Armand Bolduc said that the tower would be shielded from neighboring by trees, noting that if the trees were in leaf the balloon would be less visible.

Furthermore, he said that tower will be disguised to mimic a tree.

Peter and Jane Ellis, who recently closed their vineyard and wine shop on David Lewis Road, said

that they canvassed the nine homeowners on David Lewis Road and found three, including Lacasse and the Hugheses, who are opposed to the tower and six who are either in favor or disinterested.

Both Baron and Lacasse said because the tract owned by the Traditional Catholics stretches over 148 acres, there is no need to place the tower so close to neighboring properties. “They want to put it where it least affects their land and affects everybody else,” said Baron, who said they should put in the parking lot of the church on Morrill Street. “No one would complain if they put in in the middle of their property,” he said.

Baron said that he has spoken with an appraiser who told him that the proximity of the tower would reduce the value of his property. But, but because he could find no cases of towers being sited so close to residences, there was not sufficient data to quantify the impact. Like Baron, Lacasse believes the tower will diminish the value of the nearby properties, including his own, but has yet to receive a formal appraisal.

The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment will hold a public hearing on the project, which requires a special exception, on December 16. To qualify for a special exception a project must comply with six requirements, among them that it is “not detrimental, injurious or offensive to the neighborhood.”

SENATE from page 2 Supreme Court nominees.

The immediate impact was to ensure post-Thanksgiving confirmation for Patricia Millett, one of Obama’s three stalled nominees for the District of Columbia Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, and for others whom Republicans have blocked. Rep. Mel Watt, D-N.C., tapped to head the Federal Housing Finance Agency, is among them.

The longer-term result of the unilateral move by Democrats was harder to gauge in a Senate that has

grown deeply constrained by the major political differences emblematic of an era of divided government.

At issue was a rule that has required a 60-vote majority to end debate in the 100-member Senate and assure a yes-or-no vote on presidential nominees to federal courts or to Cabinet departments or other agencies.

Under a parliamentary maneuver scripted in advance, Democrats changed the proceedings so that only a simple majority was required to clear the way see next page

CRUISERS from page one because all of the city’s vehicle maintenance in managed by employees at City Hall. He said the Police Department doesn’t control those particular line items.

“We don’t control spending,” Clary continued. “The internal budgeting is done at City Hall.”

He said the department gets “a bill” (for its records) from the Department of Public Works that includes labor for repairs and maintenance but all the movement of money is handled at the city level. He noted that even in his own annual budget preparation, he leaves those lines blank and they are filled in by city hall finance employees.

He said the department has been doing a better job in recent years of “getting rid of “ old cruisers from front-line work sooner than in the past, which has saved the city money in maintenance and repair line item. He said nearly all maintenance and repairs are performed by the Public Works Department.

Clary said the ones in the best shape often get a “second life” for use by detectives as unmarked cars or for special details.

He said the department has seven front-line cruisers that rotate out of primary service when they reach 70,000 miles. He said the average cruiser clocks 30,000 miles annually.

He said two new cruisers will be included in the 2014-2015 budget that he is currently preparing.

In 2013, the department received two new SUVs and one cruiser. The department had ordered two cruisers and one SUV however there was a mix-up with the Ford dealer and the department accepted

the two SUVs that were close in price. One of the new SUVs is used regularly by the shift supervisor.

Overall, Clary and other police officials have had good things to say about the new Ford Interceptors, noting they do seem to be saving the department money in its fuel line.

He said Ford has assured the nation’s police departments that the company will make these models for 10 years — meaning all the equipment needed for them will be usable for at least 10 years without any retrofitting.

NOTES: Chief Chris Adams said while robberies (armed and unarmed) this year are up to about 15 or 16 he said the overall rates of retail theft are down by about 31 percent. He also said detectives and patrol officers continue to investigate a recent string of arson. . . . . . Sgt. Thomas Swett updated the commissioners on the Police Oriented Project involving retail theft and said the stores that have control over their own placement of goods have been very responsive to working with police. He said local chain retailers have little to no control over where they place their goods, cash registers, and displays.

He also noted that police working cooperatively with Vista Foods over the past year has helped them reduce the incidents of shoplifting dramatically. He also said the number of domestic assaults and disturbances are up because management is more proactive about reporting suspicious behavior to police.

He also said police officers are engaging in more community policing, which can be as simple as stopping by randomly for a visit or a coffee.

from preceding page for a final vote. In Senate-speak, this was accomplished by establishing a new precedent under the rules, rather than a formal rules change.

Supreme Court nominations still will be subject to a traditional filibuster, the term used to describe the 60-vote requirement to limit debate.

The day’s events capped more than a decade of struggle over judicial nominations, in which first President George W. Bush found his appointees stalled by Senate Democrats, and more recently Obama has complained that Republicans have been delaying or preventing confirmation for his picks.

The vote adds to the list of issues likely to figure in next year’s congressional elections. In a fundraising appeal emailed a few hours after the vote, the Senate Republicans’ campaign organization asked for donations. It warned that “Democrats are going to pack Obama’s liberal judges on the federal courts,” and sought donations to “throw these hacks out of office.”

On Thursday, in a certain sign that a showdown was imminent, senators filed into the Senate chamber at midmorning in unusual numbers. They listened from their desks as Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky swapped accusations that preceded a series of votes on arcane parliamentary points. Yet

there was no suspense about the final outcome.

McConnell said Republicans had grown tired of threats of action. “We’re not interested in having a gun put to our head any longer,” he said, noting that Democrats have periodically talked of changing the rules in recent months.

Still, the events marked a reversal for Reid, who had threatened earlier in the year to change the application of filibuster rules for nominees to Cabinet departments and other agencies, but not for appointments to the courts.

Back then, he and McConnell clashed in highly personal, accusatory terms. This time, they recited their grievances in an exchange that was courteous if sharply worded.

“In the history of the Republic, there have been 168 filibusters of executive and judicial nominees. Half of them have occurred during the Obama administration — during the last four and a half years,” Reid said.

The Nevada Democrat accused the GOP of “unbreakable, unprecedented obstruction.” He said Republicans had blocked qualified appointees “to force wholesale changes to laws ... to restructure entire executive branch departments” and because they don’t want Obama “to appoint any judges to certain courts.”

REHAB from page 2 has been struggling with alcoholism and substance abuse “off and on for years.”

He gave no indication he was going to resign.

Radel had said in court that he wants to “continue serving this country.”

Radel’s lawyer, David Schertler, said in court that his client had already entered outpatient treatment in Washington. If Radel successfully completes his year of probation the charge against him will be dismissed and he can apply to have his record expunged.

Court documents show that when Radel bought the cocaine on Oct. 29 he met with the undercover officer and an acquaintance with whom he had previously used cocaine. The documents said Radel purchased cocaine on several previous occasions.

Karl Colder, special agent in charge of the DEA’s Washington field office, said Radel was given no special treatment in avoiding arrest at the scene. He said authorities do not automatically arrest drug buyers in undercover operations, especially if they are part of a larger investigation, agree to cooperate and don’t pose a threat to the public. Radel provided information to investigators at the time of the bust and has continued meeting with them since, Colder said in an interview with The Associated Press.

“Collectively there’s always a decision that’s made in terms of time of arrest, when we plan to arrest,” he said, later adding, “It’s not uncommon for us not to make immediate arrests on situations like that.”

Radel appears to be the first sitting member of Congress charged with a drug offense since former Rep. Frederick Richmond, D-N.Y., was convicted in 1982 on charges of tax evasion and drug possession.

A spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said the allegations are a matter for the courts.

MEDICAID from page one The key hurdle was when to use the federal marketplace to buy private coverage. The Republicanled Senate had insisted on implementing a private option sooner than Hassan and Democratic House members felt was practical to give additional insurers time to join the sole insurer on the marketplace.

Senate Republican leaders had the votes to reject plans offered by Senate and House Democrats, but not enough votes to pass a plan of their own. In the end, nothing passed.

State Sen. Peggy Gilmour, a Hollis Democrat, argued the Senate Democratic proposal incorporated many of the principles sought by Republicans to ensure private insurance was used to provide coverage to most of the adults newly eligible for Medic-

Wilkommen ‘Titan’ Titan, der neuer Laconia Schaferhund-Polizeihund, and his handlers K-9 Officer Mike Armstrong were introduced to Police Commissioners at yesterday afternoon’s Laconia Police Commission meeting. Titan and Armstrong recently graduated from drug-training and are scheduled to attend tracking training after which they will be ready for full duty. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

aid. Gilmour pleaded with Republicans not to let the moment pass without authorizing health coverage for the adults.

But Senate Republican Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro said the Democratic proposal did not satisfy Republicans.

By the time the House took up the House Democrats’ bill, its fate in the Senate was clear.

State Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, a Manchester Republican, unsuccessfully tried to block consideration of expanding Medicaid, arguing the health care law — the Affordable Care Act — is flawed.

“This whole approach is leading us into an area that is best called the abyss,” he said.

Both House and Senate plans used federal funds to pay for private insurance for some adults who already are on employer-sponsored plans through an existing state program. Both plans originally proposed enrolling other people into a new state-managed care program temporarily. Senate Republicans voted Thursday to bar implementing expansion until federal permission was received to use the option, a delay Democrats opposed.

OBITUARY

James H. ‘Jamie’ Van Keuren, Jr., 59 BRISTOL — James “Jamie, Jim” H. Van Keuren, Jr. 59, died Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at his home after a battle with cancer.

He was honorably discharged in 1978 as a Corporal and having received medals for Sharpshooting and Good Conduct. He then tried professional boxing, but his 0-3 record prompted him to open his own business; Illusions, in Franklin, NH, a roller rink and arcade.

Jim then successively worked in forensics at NH Hospital and Lakes Region Community Services, after which he climbed the ladder to become a chimney sweep and opened Ye Olde Sweepes in 1991. He was well respected in the chimney sweep community and was President of the NH Assoc. of Chimney Professionals.

He then became involved with real estate and renovated several homes, culminating in building his

own home “Curmudgeon’s Castle”, where he spent his last years enjoying his home and time with his family.

He leaves behind his beloved wife of 20 years, Jo Ellen Divoll; son and daughter-in-law Jaime and Melisa Van Keuren and granddaughter, Meara all of Bristol, NH; foster son Matt Stover of Bristol, NH daughters Lisa MacFarlane and Dawn Vancamp of Connecticut and Shannon Van Keuren of New Jersey; two sisters Leslie Petersen of Fr. Worth, TX and Ethel Noiles of Maine; two brothers Philip Van Keuren of Franklin, NH and Raymond Noiles of Portsmouth, NH; several nieces and nephews.

Memorial Calling Hours will be Saturday, November 30 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Emmons Funeral Home, 115 South Main Street, Bristol. This will be followed by a celebration of his life at his home, 136 Ernest Drive in Bristol, NH.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I recently moved into an apartment with a longtime friend. We both have dogs, but I was misled about hers. He is 15 months old and not trained.

My roommate has no time for the dog. She takes college classes and works two part-time jobs. The dog usually sits in a crate all day. She rarely takes him out and doesn’t feed him regularly. When she does take him out, she is too tired to exercise him, which means he goes nuts in the apartment, peeing everywhere and chewing up the furniture -- which is mine.

He tried to bite me last week. He also barks incessantly, and her solution is to put a muzzle on him. My roommate takes no responsibility and blames me, saying I am making the dog uncomfortable.

I feel so bad for this animal. I’ve asked her repeatedly to spend more time with the dog and train him, but she hasn’t.

I cannot live in my own apartment. Now we have a ruined friendship and eight months left on a lease. Help! -- Dogged Out Dear Dogged: It is unfair to you that this animal is not trained, but we would consider it abuse to keep the dog in a crate all day, not exercising, feeding or disciplining him appropriately. Present your roommate with a bill for the ruined furniture, and then report her to the humane society. She is not capable of caring for this animal. The friendship may be over, but you can still protect the dog.

Dear Annie: I have lupus, but because I usually look OK, people assume I’m doing fine. I am part of a small group of Christian ladies that meets monthly. Often, I’m unable to attend because I’m not well. I notify our group’s coordinator and tell her specifically what is wrong that day -- headache, fatigue, achiness, etc. -- so that the ladies can pray for me. No one has ever called to check on me afterward.

Our group has provided meals for families when one woman had emergency surgery and two others had bouts with cancer. Yet, no one has ever offered to bring my family a meal.

My husband’s job limits the time he can assist me. Many days, we order takeout because I don’t have the energy to cook.

The women know this, but I’m an outgoing, positive person, so they don’t see the pain I endure daily. I’m thinking of leaving the group because it causes me stress, but they are otherwise wonderful women. I think they simply don’t understand. Am I wrong to feel this way? -- Sick and Confused Dear Sick: There is no right or wrong to how you feel. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that damages joints, skin, kidneys, blood, heart and lungs. The women may not understand the severity of your illness. But the other part of the problem is that the disease is ongoing. Emergency surgeries and bouts with cancer are finite. It’s easier to bring meals when you know it won’t be forever. You could voice your hurts to these women, or you could look for support elsewhere. Also visit the Lupus Foundation of America at lupus.org.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Little Doctor,” the obgyn who is too “busy and forgetful” to remember patients’ names and uses an all-purpose term of endearment, claiming it makes the patient “feel relaxed and comfortable.”

I am also a busy doctor, but I address each patient by name and also review their medications, lab test results and notes from the last visit. I can’t imagine anyone could feel comfortable and relaxed knowing the doctor was so busy and forgetful that he calls you by a generic endearment. It is disrespectful and a red flag. How can such a busy, forgetful doctor be alert and responsive to issues that pertain to a patient’s health? -- Conscientious Doctor

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

the smallest energy expenditure? No. It’s actually smart. Recognizing what’s within your reach and going for the low-hanging fruit is the order of the day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Do not doubt the impact of your sense of humor. It’s important to the evolution of the planet. If you can make one person laugh uproariously, it is better than having the nodding approval of thousands.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your reputation may seem to have a life of its own. On the bright side, if people are talking about you, it’s as though you are participating in parties you haven’t even attended. That’s power!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 22). You’re not sure what to strive for, but things get clear in December. Favored activities in the early part of 2014 include: teaching, speaking and developing a creative, technical or mathematical idea. In January, someone who shares your feelings will make you money.

Carefree fun is featured in March and June.

Pisces and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 12, 33, 49 and 7.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are versatile. You can be around people you don’t like at all and still find some way to make it work. You will find a brilliant way this evening, which is a credit to your character.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There are those who climb mountains and connect with their majesty, feeling gifted by the surrounding nature, winds and peaceful sunshine.

Could you be one of those people? You’ll wonder about it and plan for it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Act in a particular way over and over, and soon enough it becomes the way you are. If you want to become brave, act bravely again and again. If you want to become glamorous, act that way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The day brings a surge of animal energy, and this is only healthy. After all, your species is scientifically classified as such. An ancient part of your brain will lead the way this evening.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Honest people will tell you that you’ve done well. This is high praise, and you should not take it lightly. It’s better to absorb the mild, positive and truthful response than to be blinded by glimmering false accolades.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Usually, what follows a gradual climb to the top is a long tenure in that lofty location. You’re learning what you need to know to join the upper echelon and stay there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are missing something dramatic, but you’ll get over it. Your choice to refrain from further involvement is a good one. Out of sight, out of mind is the motto that will work well for you now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your conscience is clear, but you still may have trouble getting to sleep tonight. The insomnia can be cured by writing in a journal. Empty out the personal baggage that has built up this week.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your friends miss you when you’re not there, and yet they don’t always show their love adequately when you are there. What’s this social dynamic all about? You’ll investigate tonight.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Is it wrong to want the reward you can get with

Yesterday’s Answer

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, November 22, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Nov. 22, the 326th day of 2013. There are 39 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was shot to death during a motorcade in Dallas; Texas Gov. John B. Connally, in the same open car as the president, was seriously wounded. A suspect, Lee Harvey Oswald, was arrested.

On this date: In 1718, English pirate Edward Teach — better known as “Blackbeard” — was killed during a battle off present-day North Carolina.

In 1862, Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “La Forza del Destino” had its world premiere in St. Petersburg, Russia.

In 1928, “Bolero” by Maurice Ravel (rah-VEL’) was first performed, in Paris.

In 1930, listeners of the British Broadcasting Corp. heard, for the first time, radio coverage of an American college football game as Harvard defeated Yale, 13-0.

In 1935, a flying boat, the China Clipper, took off from Alameda, Calif., carrying more than 100,000 pieces of mail on the first trans-Pacific airmail flight.

In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Chinese leader Chiang Kai-shek (chang ky-shehk) met in Cairo to discuss measures for defeating Japan. Lyricist Lorenz Hart died in New York at age 48.

In 1954, the Humane Society of the United States was incorporated as the National Humane Society.

In 1965, the musical “Man of La Mancha” opened on Broadway.

In 1967, the U.N. Security Council approved Resolution 242, which called for Israel to withdraw from territories it had captured the previous June, and implicitly called on adversaries to recognize Israel’s right to exist.

In 1975, Juan Carlos was proclaimed King of Spain.

In 1986, Elzire Dionne, who gave birth to quintuplets in 1934, died at a hospital in North Bay, Ontario, Canada, at age 77.

In 1990, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, having failed to win re-election of the Conservative Party leadership on the first ballot, announced her resignation.

Ten years ago: The Medicare prescription drug bill narrowly passed the House, 220-215, following a dusk-to-dawn debate.

Five years ago: In the weekly Democratic radio address, President-elect Barack Obama promoted an economic plan he said would provide 2.5 million jobs, although his spokesman later clarified that the plan would “save and create” that many jobs.

One year ago: The traditional “Black Friday” sales began even earlier than before, on Thanksgiving evening, as stores including Target and Toys R Us opened their doors in hopes that Americans would be willing to shop right after their Thanksgiving meal. Some of the people displaced by Superstorm Sandy had front-row seats to Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, while others enjoyed free holiday meals.
