Gilmanton Fire officer charged with theft of town gasoline

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILMANTON — A lieutenant with the town Fire Department has been charged with theft for allegedly using the town gas pump to fill the tank of a personal vehicle..

Paperwork obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said the Bryon McSharry of Halls Hill Road in Gilmanton

Iron Works is scheduled to be arraigned for the Class B misdemeanor on November 21.

According to police affidavits, the theft was reported to police by a different firefighter who watched McSharry enter the Iron Works Station at 4:30 a.m. on October 22 and go to the forestry truck and then leave the building.

The firefighter checked the forestry truck

and noticed the key to the fuel pump was missing. He told police he went outside and witnessed McSharry standing next to his personal vehicle which was parked at the municipal pump, “standing as if he were pumping gas.”

The unnamed firefighter went back in to the Iron Works station and allegedly saw see Gas page 10

One osprey stays behind

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The contest for the City Council in Ward 2 features two unique candidates, Richard Beaudoin, who over the course of 35 years has acquired a reputation of being able to fix virtually anything electrical in the shop behind his home on Manchester Street, and David Bownes, an attorney and actor as well known for his performances in front of the footlights as in front of the bench.

Bownes served as a councilor at-large in from 1986 to 1988, when the council had nine members.

He said that with no children still living at home, “It’s about time I did something around here except go to meetings and complain.” A mainstay of the Streetcar Company and Winnipesaukee Playhouse, he has been long been active in the cultural community and in 2011 was a member of the committee convened to explore acquiring and reopening the Colonial Theater.

Judge approves $50 million settlement in NFL retiree case

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge in Minnesota gave final approval Friday to a $50 million settlement in the complicated court fight over publicity rights for retired NFL players, calling it a “one-of-a-kind, and a remarkable victory for the class as a whole.”

The NFL and the retired players reached the agreement in March, and U.S. District Judge Paul Magnuson gave preliminary approval in April. But 19 players had filed objections, with some saying direct payments won’t be made to the former players and that varying benefits will be unfairly distributed.

In his order Friday, Magnuson said those who objected because they were lured by the prospect of a lucrative personal payout have strayed from the initial goal of the lawsuit — to help those players with dire physical, mental and financial needs.

He said the majority of the class — more than see NFL page 5

Gunman kills TSA agent at LA airport; 3 others wounded LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man carrying a note that said he wanted to “kill TSA” pulled a semi-automatic rifle from a bag and shot his way past a security checkpoint at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday, cutting down one Transportation Security Administration officer and wounding at least three others, authorities said.

The gunman was wounded in a shootout with police and taken into custody, authorities said.

The attack at the nation’s third-busiest airport sent terrified travelers running for cover and disrupted flights from coast to coast.

The slain employee was the first TSA officer killed in the line of duty in the 12-year history of the agency, which was founded in the aftermath of 9/11.

Two law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they

were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly, identified the gunman as Paul Ciancia, 23, of Pennsville, N.J. He had apparently been living in Los Angeles.

He was wearing fatigues and carrying a bag containing a handwritten note that said he wanted to kill TSA employees and “pigs,” according to one of the officials, who was briefed at LAX on the investigation.

Pennsville Police Chief Allen Cummings said Ciancia’s father, the owner of an auto body shop, had called Cummings early Friday afternoon saying another of his children had received a text message from Paul “in reference to him taking his own life.” Cummings said the elder Ciancia asked for help in locating his son.

The chief said he called Los Angeles police, which sent a patrol car to Ciancia’s apartment. There, two roommates said

that they had seen him Thursday and that he was fine, according to Cummings.

Cummings said that the Ciancias are a “good family” and that his department had had no dealings with the son.

The attack began around 9:20 a.m. when the gunman pulled an assault-style rifle from a bag and began firing inside Terminal 3, Los Angeles Airport Police Chief Patrick Gannon said. The terminal serves such airlines as Virgin America, AirTran, Alaska Airlines, Horizon Air and JetBlue.

The gunman then went to the security screening area, where he fired more shots and went into the secure area of the terminal, Gannon said. Officers exchanged fire with him and seized him, Gannon said.

As gunshots rang out, panicked travelers dropped to the ground. Those who see LAX page 8

WASHINGTON (AP) — Secretary of State John Kerry’s remark that some National Security Agency surveillance “reached too far” was the first time a highranking Obama administration official acknowledged that U.S. snooping abroad might be seen as overzealous.

After launching into a vigorous defense of surveillance as an effective counterterror tool, Kerry acknowledged to a videoconference on open government in London that “in some cases, I acknowledge to you, as has the president, that some of these actions have reached too far, and we are

going to make sure that does not happen in the future.”

“There is no question that the president and I and others in government have actually learned of some things that had been happening, in many ways, on an automatic pilot because the technology is there,” Kerry said, responding to a question about transparency in governments.

Kerry was responding to questions from European allies about reports in the past two weeks that the National Security Agency had collected data on tens of millions of Europe-based phone calls and had

monitored the cell phones of 35 world leaders, including that of German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The State Department said Friday his remarks were in sync with what President Barack Obama has already said on the controversial spying practices. But Obama has said the administration was conducting a review of surveillance practices and said that if the practices went too far they would be halted.

Kerry first joked with British Foreign Secretary William Hague, whom he said see KERRY page 11

Who’s who of N.H. politics show up to honor Ray Burton at overlook dedication BRETTON WOODS, N.H. (AP) — A new overlook with views of Mount Washington and surrounding peaks was dedicated Friday to ailing Executive Councilor Ray Burton, with several hundred people crowded into a tent erected for a rainstorm that gave way to sunshine just before the ceremony began.

The dedication was a who’s who of New Hampshire’s present and past political leaders gathered to honor Burton’s 40 years of service. Both of New Hampshire’s U.S. senators, former U.S. Rep. Charles Bass, former Govs. John Lynch and John H. Sununu plus present and former executive councilors and legislators attended.

They flocked to shake Burton’s hand and hug him as he arrived at the Mount Washington Hotel for a brief and special Executive Council meeting to accept a portrait that Burton donated to the state.

The five-member council approves most state contracts and judicial and other nominations.

“I’m holding court,” Burton joked, then took over the meeting by introducing various dignitaries and asking if they wanted to speak.

“Going through the past year of 2013 has made me fully aware how important health is,” he said in a reference to his declining health. The 74-year-old Burton announced recently his kidney cancer had returned and he would not seek another term.

His peers on the council would not let what could be one of their last meetings together end without paying tribute to his dedication to the North Country.

“In public service, you are the gold standard,” said Executive Councilor Christopher Pappas.

U.S. Sens. Kelly Ayotte and Jeanne Shaheen praised his dedication to service, prompting Burton to interject: “Anyone else from the congressional delegation here I can lobby today?”

Burton rode from the hotel to the overlook ceremony in his “parade car,” a 1975 yellow Oldsmobile Delta 88, with Gov. Maggie Hassan. Hassan said Burton, who is known for working for his constituents, lobbied her for several appointments on

the way over. Dozens of people lined the entry to the overlook with “Burton for Certain, Thank You Ray” signs in a reference to one of his campaign slogans.

Hassan said told Burton he had always worked to bring people together in his long life of public service.

“Thank you for making your life’s work, the people’s work,” she said.

Former Gov. John Lynch said Burton knew very

well that “all elected officials report to the people, not the other way around.”

Burton was elected to his first term in 1977 and, aside from a two-year absence early on, has served ever since. He said he has served under 10 governors.

The overlook is a public-private partnership between the state, the Mount Washington Hotel and CNL Lifestyle properties.

Democrats still trying to tie Forrester to ethics investigation of former Senate prez

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — With the decision of the Legislative Ethics Committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding the appointment of Senator Peter Bragdon as executive director of the Local Government Center(LGC), Democrats have renewed calls for Senator Jeanie Forrester to clarify her role in the affair.

Ray Buckley, chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party (NHDP), said this week that while Bragdon was seeking the position he discussed the prospect with Forrester, who agreed to act as a reference for him, then offered her a seat on a committee charged with reviewing the conduct of the LGC and recommending changes to the statute governing it, which she readily accepted.

Both Bragdon and Forrester have maintained that they discussed the committee assignment the week before Bragdon and Bald first spoke about the position at the LGC on July 11.

The LGC , which has since been reorganized, managed three risk pools — a health care trust, worker’s compensation trust and property insurance trust — for member municipalities. It has been embroiled in litigation with state regulators and numerous municipalities about the disposition of more than $36 million in surplus funds it collected.

“I have not seen anything like this,” said Buckley of what he called “the collusion between Bragdon and Forrester, his validator.” He explained that Bragdon received Forrester’s support for a job paying $180,000 a year while appointing her to the committee overseeing his employer. “She was actively engaged in helping him get the job when she knew she was being appointed to a committee overseeing the LGC,” Buckley said.

“Why would she accept the committee assignment?”

Buckley said that “it is rime for someone to file a complaint against Forrester with the Ethics Committee and I hope someone will. Senator Forrester should be asked the fundamental question,” he continued, “’what did she know and when did she know it?’”

The complaint lodged with the Ethics Committee by Representative Richard Watrous (D-Concord) that led to the investigation includes the appointment of Forrester among the violations committed by Bragdon, but levels no charges against her.

According to documents the NHDP obtained from the LGC, Bragdon first expressed interest in the position on July 11 while speaking with George Bald, the interim executive director of the LGC. In an e-mail sent afterwards Bragdon told Bald “it was a pleasure talking with you earlier today . . . quite an unexpected turn the conversation took” and attached his resume.

“I’m glad you’re giving this some consideration,” Bald replied.

On July 16 Bragdon told Forrester he was applying for the job. “Finally, I happened to be on the phone with

Senator Forrester a few minutes ago,” Bragdon wrote in an e-mail to Bald, “and given her background . . . I thought I’d mention the conversation you and I had. Her reaction could not have been more positive to the idea.”

By letter, dated three days later, July 19, Bragdon formally appointed Forrester to the committee.

Forrester has insisted that Bragdon asked her to serve on the committee before July 16, when he first told her of his interest in the position with the LGC, although she cannot recall the exact of their conversation. “I can tell you again,” she repeated yesterday, “the day he asked me to serve on that committee I had no idea he was considering that job.”

Responding to the complaint before the Ethics Committee, attorney Russell Hilliard presented Bragdon’s explanation of Forrester’s appointment. Bragdon, he wrote, kept a spreadsheet of appointments to study committees created by legislation enacted during the session. As bills came to him for signature, he added his appointees to study committees to the spreadsheet. Once he had signed all bills, the spreadsheet was given to his staff to complete the paperwork, including the formal letter of appointment.

According to the records of the Secretary of State, House Bill 283 establishing the committee on the LGC on July 2 and was signed and returned either the same or next day. “When Senator Bragdon signed the bill, on either July 2 or 3, he added the committee to his spreadsheet, as well as Senator Forrester’s name as his appointee,” Hilliard wrote, noting that “this was more than a week” before he learned of the opportunity at the LGC. However, Harrell Kirstein, communications director of the NHDP, who collected the documents and prepared the timeline underlying the complaint, claims that Bragdon could not have appointed Forrester before July 10 as he claims. He refers to an e-mail Bragdon sent to Senator Donna Soucy (D-Manchester), who apparently expressed interest in the LGC committee, which he finds inconsistent with his other statements.

On July 8, days after Bragdon says he named Forrester, he told Soucy “I am still waiting on a few more bills to pass by me on the way to the governor — I check each bill for study committees when I sign it . Once the last one passes through here in the next day or two I will have a complete list and start naming people.”

“They will do what they will do,” Forrester shrugged this week. “There are so many more things we should be focused on.” She said that committee has completed its work and filed its report. “We were unanimous, three Democrats and two Republicans,” she said. “And we recommended that no member of the Legislature should serve on the board of directors of the LGC or any other risk pool. I don’t know what it is they think I’ve done,” she remarked.

Alton Police say they know who robbed bank on Oct. 10 but no arrest made yet

ALTON — Police said yesterday they have developed a number of leads and have recovered enough evidence to make an arrest in the October 10 armed robbery of the Meredith Village Savings Bank on Wolfeboro Highway (Rte. 28).

Chief Ryan Heath said he is unable to release the names of the two people allegedly involved in the armed robbery at this time but issued a media state-

ment to allay the fears of the general public.

Heath said he was assisted by numerous agencies and wishes to thank all of them for their assistance.

On October 10 at about 4:34 p.m. a lone male entered the MVSB branch and held one employee at gunpoint while he jumped over the counter and emptied the teller drawers.

Heath said he initially fled on foot but police had

reason to think he was picked up by someone driving a silver four-door sedan.

The man was wearing a gray pullover sweatshirt and blue jeans. He was carrying a red duffel bag and wearing a mask.

He said he would make the arrest information public as soon as he is able.

NFL from page 2 25,000 players — recognized the settlement would help thousands of former players because a large financial payout would go to a fund organized for their benefit.

“Nearly all of the objections boil down to what is, in the court’s view, the objectors’ very mistaken belief that they could reap significant financial benefits from continuing this case,” Magnuson said. He said those who believe a settlement that doesn’t directly benefit players is impermissible “are wrong.”

More than 2,000 players opted out of the settlement, and will have the opportunity to pursue their own claims against the NFL. Those cases will be allowed to immediately go forward.

Bob Stein, an attorney for some of the plaintiffs who opposed the settlement, said he will appeal. He said there was no discovery that revealed the value of NFL Films, so there’s no way to know if the settlement is fair. He also said the settlement doesn’t provide direct payments to those who have given up publicity rights.

Dan Gustafson, an attorney representing those who agreed to the settlement, said he’s pleased with the judge’s ruling and hopes those opposed will “put this behind them now and join us in trying to imple-

ment the settlement for the benefit of the players.”

Under the agreement, some $42 million will be distributed to a “common good” trust over eight years to help retired players with issues like medical expenses, housing and career transition. The settlement will also establish a licensing agency for retirees to ensure compensation for the use of their identities. The league will pay another $8 million in associated costs, including startup money for the licensing agency.

We’re moving to states with low taxes & low housing costs Where are Americans moving, and why? Timothy Noah, writing in the Washington Monthly, professes to be puzzled. He points out that people have been moving out of states with high per capita incomes — Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland — to states with lower income levels.

“Why are Americans by and large moving away from economic opportunity rather than toward it?” he asks.

Actually, it’s not puzzling at all. The movement from high-tax, high-housing-cost states to low-tax, low-housing-cost states has been going on for more than 40 years, as I note in my new book “Shaping Our Nation: How Surges of Migration Transformed America and Its Politics”.

Between 1970 and 2010, the population of New York state increased from 18 million to 19 million. In that same period, the population of Texas increased from 11 million to 25 million.

The picture is even starker if you look at major metro areas. The New York metropolitan area, including counties in New Jersey and Connecticut, increased from 17.8 million in 1970 to 19.2 million in 2010 — up 8 percent. During that time, the nation grew 52 percent.

In the same period, the four big metro areas in Texas — Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin — grew from 6 million to 15.6 million, a 160 percent increase.

Contrary to Noah’s inference, people don’t move away from opportunity. They move partly in response to economic incentives, but also to pursue dreams and escape nightmares.

Opportunity does exist in the Northeastern states and in California — for people with very high skill levels and for low-skill immigrants, without whom those metro areas would have lost, rather than gained, population over the last three decades.

But there’s not much opportunity there for people with mid-level skills who want to raise families.

Housing costs are exceedingly high, partly, as Noah notes, because of restrictive land use and zoning regulations.

And central city public schools, with a few exceptions, repel most middle-class parents.

High taxes produce revenues to finance handsome benefits and pensions for public employee union members in the high-cost states.

It’s hard to see how this benefits middle-class people making their livings in the private sector.

Moreover, Noah’s use of per capita incomes is misleading, since children typically have no income and many in the Northeast and coastal California are childless. If you look at household

incomes, these states are far closer to the national average.

As economist Tyler Cowen points out in a Time magazine cover story, when you adjust incomes for tax rates and cost of living, Texas comes out ahead of California and New York and ranks behind only Virginia and Washington state (which, like Texas, has no state income tax).

Critics charge that Texas’s growth depends on the oil and gas industries and is weighted toward low-wage jobs. But in fact, Texas’s low-tax, light-regulation policies have produced a highly diversified economy that from 2002 to 2011 created nearly one-third of the nation’s highest-paying jobs. In those years, its number of upper- and middleincome jobs grew 24 percent.

Liberals like Noah often decry income inequality. But the states with the most unequal incomes and highest poverty levels these days are California and New York. That’s what happens when high taxes and housing costs squeeze out the middle class.

As Noah notes, “Few workingclass people earn enough money to live anywhere near San Francisco.”

This leaves a highly visible and articulate upper class willing, in line with their liberal beliefs, to shoulder high tax burdens and a very much larger lower class — many of them immigrants — available to serve them in restaurants, landscape their gardens and valet-park their cars.

There’s nothing wrong with living in a high-rise, restaurant-studded, subway-served neighborhood (I do).

It’s great that America offers more such options than one and two generations ago.

But it’s foolish to try to cram everyone into such surroundings, as the Obama Department of Housing and Urban Development (as Terry Eastland reports in the Weekly Standard) and California Governor, Jerry Brown, are trying to do.

Noah notes correctly that fewer Americans have been moving recently. That’s always true in times of economic distress (the Okies’ trek along U.S. Route 66 to California’s Central Valley in the 1930s was a memorable exception, not the rule).

But they continue to move to the low-tax states that are providing jobs and living space where they can pursue their dreams and escape places that burden them with high costs and provide few middle-class amenities in return.

LETTERS ‘If you like your health insurance you can keep it,’ was just a lie To The Daily Sun, Obama delivered quite the ghoulish trick for Halloween. Somewhere between 10 and 30 million people are going to LOSE THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. Millions of people have already received notice their policies are being cancelled. Why? Because their policies do not meet the standards DICTATED under Obamacare.

Obamacare slap in the face number TWO: most of these people are going to simultaneously discover their new, OBAMACARE policy is going to cost them a LOT MORE MONEY, as much as DOUBLE for some people.

Obama care slap in the face number THREE: millions are going to find out they will LOSE THEIR DOCTORS. Obama care slap in the face number FOUR: they are going to discover they may lose access to the hospital they want, like the one nearest to them.

SLAP NUMBER FIVE: they are going to face monster deductibles that leave them greatly at risk.

Slap number SIX: tens of millions will discover their subsidy is ZERO if they earn anything that represents an average wage. Ravaged most by Obamacare: the UNION WORKER who losses at every turn.

Understand, Obama has been circling the country for years repeating the same old line “if you like your coverage and your doctor you can keep them”. Then he shouted, we all need Obamacare to make health care MORE AFFORDABLE. We have now come to discover what bold faced, arrogant, LIES those statements were — sufficient to make Pinocchio’s nose grow to a telephone pole. If lying was not egregious enough, NBC news and numerous other media outlets report that the White House and Obama have been well aware for more than THREE YEARS that tens of millions would in fact lose their insurance and that replacing that insurance would cost the majority of them billions more in out of pocket costs. Obama simply remained SILENT. We not only have an ECONOMIC incompetent as president we have a bloody, lying SOB. “You will NOT lose your health coverage or your doctor” is in the same league

with Bill Clinton’s great line “ I did not have sexual relations with that woman”. There is nothing that weakens America’s image in so may ways, tangible and intangible, than having the president be labeled a repeated and distrusted liar. Meaningless red lines you can’t cross and you can keep your doctor are just another day in “slimeballville” for Obama.

Healthcare.gov is just another lie as millions have discovered. When asked directly how much the massive website site failure has cost taxpayers, Obama silence? Outside experts estimate it to to be as much as 600 million dollars. In the end it could be a billion. THE MOST EXPENSIVE SINGLE WEBSITE IN THE UNIVERSE. ONLY FROM GOVERNMENT! Apple only spent $150 million to develop one of the greatest inventions of all time, the I-PHONE. It gives you a good appreciation for the level of incompetence in government.

When Obama is asked how many people have signed up for Obamacare? Silence. When asked how much changes, waivers and delays to Obamacare have cost and will cost? Silence.

When asked if Obamacare is running over budget? SILENCE. When asked when it will be totally operational?

Silence. When asked how many millions of people will lose their insurance and pay a lot more? SILENCE. When asked why an ever increasing numbers of doctors are refusing to see Medicaid and Medicare patients? Only Silence. When asked if he will agree to Obamacare changes even Democrats and unions want? SILENCE. When asked if some one will be fired over the massive failure as they would in private enterprise? SILENCE. When asked if HHS secretary Sibelius will be replaced? OBAMA Silence.

Are we the taxpayers funding the OBAMA DISASTER not entitled to answers to these most basic questions. All we get from Democrats and Obama is lies, obfuscation and SILENCE. Obama now has the lowest job approval rating in five years.

There is no wondering why. Among those with a BRAIN, it is ZERO. Tony Boutin Gilford

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 2, 2013 — Page 7

LETTERS Ed Engler is a fair man & the right man to be next Laconia mayor To The Daily Sun, Today will be the last opportunity to read about the election next Tuesday as The Sun does not print on Mondays, something I miss more than I can say.

Hopefully, the voters will spend some serious time this weekend thinking about the candidates in their ward and in particular, the candidates for Mayor of Laconia.

Laconia is on the brink of redefining itself and time is running out. The need to define what we want to be and how we will get there is still out there and there are many different ideas and proposals out there but there is also a lack of consensus.

We need a strong mayor and City Council to involve itself in the process and that will take the leadership of a mayor with the experience and knowledge of the demographics of the city that will result in positive results.

Ed Engler recently said “...we as a community have to decide what we want downtown to be”. Whatever the course we take, it must be what the

people of Laconia want.

Mr. Engler is living proof of success.

He came to Laconia and founded this little paper for free and it grew to a circulation of 18,000 from 2,000 when it first started up. Along with that was a huge increase in advertising and circulation stretching out to the entire Lakes Region. He also involved himself in his community serving on many boards and serving as a director of the Belknap Economic Development Council. He is involved with many projects and has personally contributed to many projects that benefit Laconia.

Fairness is another quality, often not mentioned, but as editor and publisher of the paper it is within his province to not publish things that might be of an opposing point of view to his own, but every article is printed, no matter which side it represents.

Leadership, successful businessman, booster of Laconia, fairness. Ed Engler.

Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 - Laconia

Where does Bownes stand on any issues? I’ll vote for Beaudoin To The Daily Sun, Richard Beaudoin is running for Laconia City Councilor in Ward 2 against former City Councilor David Bownes.

Bownes voted in 1989-90 for a 9-11 percent increase in the Laconia city budget during a revaluation year in which most home owners saw their homes increase in value along with a large increase in their property taxes. The next election year saw most incumbents voted out of office because they didn’t listen to the taxpayers and voters.

Bownes did not attend the Weirs Action Committee’s debate on October 25, 2013 to make his views known.

Though Beaudoin attend the debate, The Laconia Daily Sun did not report much about what Beaudoin had to say. The Citizen did report, “City Councilor Ward 2 candidate Richard Beaudoin suggested that they should find a buyer for the Colonial Theater, but does not think the city should own

it in any way.”

In an article in The Daily Sun on September 7, 2013 Beaudoin said that, “Although he supports the property tax cap, he question linking the increase in the amount to be raised by taxes to the consumer price index (CPI). The CPI may go up but pay checks do not.” He also said that he is, “tired of the waste in city government”. As an example, he pointed to the plan to landscape the plaza at the Main Street Bridge. We’re not trying to turn Laconia into Greenwich Village, I want businesses on Main Street not flower pots.”

Where does David Bownes stand on any issues facing the City of Laconia.

Will he subject the rest of Laconia with a new tax called Pay-As-You-Throw?

Please Vote for Richard Beaudoin for Laconia Ward 2 City Councilor.

He’ll make a real change.

Those who lost their lives in Korea will forever remain our heroes To The Daily Sun, Although we salute the “Marine Corps Birthday Event” story in the October 24 issue, the reference to the Korean War as the “Forgotten War” belittles the sacred number of U.S. Armed forces personnel loss during this 3-year war. Department of Defense figures report that 33,629 U.S. service personnel were killed and 103,284 were wounded as we eventually chased the North Korean forces and saved the South Korean country.

Our troops, air and naval forces also, for th first time, defeated international com-

munist forces. Maybe it will never be a total victory, but the memories of those who courageously served and those who lost their lives will forever remain our heroes.

Bob Desmond of Nashua, a member of the New Hampshire Veterans Association and the National KWVA council reports that a major campaign is underway to raise funds for a worldclass museum in New York City honoring Korean War Veterans.

Expand Medicaid in N.H. The mission of Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health is “to improve the health and well being of the Lakes Region through ... public health improvement activities.” The expansion of Medicaid coverage to citizens in the region would be a public health action of immense consequence.

The Commission to Study Expansion of Medicaid Eligibility has recommended that N.H. expand its Medicaid program to cover uninsured adults with annual incomes up to approximately $15,900, about 4,000 of whom live in Belknap and Carroll Counties. The majority of these individuals are young adults between the ages of 18 and 40 who are under-employed and struggling to get by. They work as wait staff, janitors, classroom aides, in construction and in grocery stores as critical components of our local economy, but without access to a critical benefit.

Without access to health insurance, they pass up preventative care that would help them avoid medical crises. When a crisis does occur, these individuals must use the emergency room: the most expensive health intervention and one that provides no follow-up care to ensure that the patient continue on the road to recovery. We at the Partnership believe that extending Medicaid coverage to this population benefits more than just those 4,000 individuals.

Individuals with health insurance coverage see their physician for preventative care and remain healthier throughout their lives.

The N.H. Center for Public Policy Studies has found that insured individuals are almost twice as likely to see a doctor regularly as the uninsured. The insured are five times more likely to have a colon cancer

screening than the uninsured.

Those with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or asthma can manage their symptoms more effectively and avoid medical crises when covered by insurance. With access to health coverage, these individuals have fewer absences from work or school, have healthier pregnancies and children and are able to participate in community activities.

Health insurance coverage for this population could free up our emergency room resources to be able to treat real emergencies quickly and more efficiently. Our local physicians will get reimbursed for seeing these patients, reducing the cost shifting that leads to higher overall costs for everyone.

The commission was careful to recommend that individuals with access to health insurance through their employers stay on that plan rather than switch to Medicaid.

The commission also recommended protecting New Hampshire from unsustainable expense should the federal government alter its level of financial support for the expanded population.

As the Partnership collaborates with colleagues such as LRGHealthcare, Genesis Behavioral Health, Lakes Region Community Services and Central NH VNA & Hospice, among others, toward our mutual goal of a healthy region that encourages healthy living practices, we envision the expansion of Medicaid coverage as a step vitally important to assuring all of our residents the opportunity to meet these healthy lifestyle goals.

Shelters are full & winter is coming; where can the homeless go?

To The Daily Sun, I would like to have a question answered. Where can homeless go?

Everyone says they know but no one has an answer. I have asked everyone from the chief of police to the city manager to the mayor, but no one can give me an answer. Why are we treated like we don’t exist?

The city plays head games with us.

One moment we can stay, the moment we stay they tell us we have to go.

The shelters are full and winter is coming. If you don’t want another death, please answer this question.

Nobody seems to understand that homeless people tend to die in the cold.

Anyway, please give me an answer.

No interview program can assure public its guests will not lie To The Daily Sun, Last week I challenged anyone to give an example of Fox News lying and Robert Moran of Meredith took on the challenge. Nice work Robert, your research was well done and impressive and I give you points for trying, but only because Hannity is an annoying, demagogue, right-wing kind of guy who failed to vet his interviews prop-

erly. Your standards of implied purity are unattainable by any news outlet in the world. No interview program can assure the public that its guests will or are telling the truth, not misleading or outright lying. No programing can be condemned for the words or actions of outside sources — that’s ridiculous.

LETTERS If insurance can’t protect you from going broke, why buy it at all?

To The Daily Sun, I am so enjoying the health insurance debate going on now, because it has been so entertaining. It is amazing how our president can take something that has always been rather dull and boring, and turn it into a national crisis. I’m also paying close attention to the details of the Affordable Care Act and comparing what they are offering to the insurance plan that I have with my employer.

I went to the government website and actually got a lot of information including descriptions of different plans and what benefits they provide.

I can tell you from my personal experience after going through some huge health problems myself recently, that the care that I received from the doctors and the staff at LRGH was first class and they literally saved my life when I had emergency surgery on my guts in January 2012. That included a total of three major surgeries, over four weeks of hospitalization including a week in intensive care, and several months home care provided by the Central NH VNA who were absolutely wonderful. Such professional services do not come cheap, however, and Anthem Blue Cross also came through for me. My plan has a three thousand dollar deductible per year, so even though I had run up a bill of over $350,000 over that time, my portion was only $6,000 plus some co-pays, which is normal. That is affordable.

My plan costs about $400 a month but my boss pays 60 percent and I pay 40 percent. It’s a lot of money but it sure paid off for me. You can see how a sudden illness could plunge you into impossible debt very quickly without

good health insurance.

Now let’s compare that to the plans that are being offered by the “Obamacare” insurance exchange. I found three basic tiers of coverage, Bronze, Silver and Gold although the Gold Plan was not available to me for some reason.

There is an informational attachment that calculates your premiums and what benefits you receive. There is no deductible but instead they pay a percentage and you pay the rest. The Bronze plan pays 60 percent. The Silver plan pays 70 percent. Sure it costs less than the insurance I have now but if I had their best plan it when I got sick, I would have received a bill for 30 percent of my grand total, over $100,000!

Hey, I don’t know about you, but for me, at my age, there is nothing “affordable” about that! We would have been broke for the rest of our lives and instead of a comfortable retirement, I would probably have to work until I died, leaving my debt for my wife to pay.

I hope that I haven’t bored you too much with my story, and fortunately most people won’t get what I had. Still, when you buy insurance that will not protect you from going broke if you do get sick, why buy it at all? What’s the difference if you owe $100,000,or $350,000, or even a million, If you don’t have the money? The result is the same, you lose everything. And if I had been forced into such a plan by the government against my will, I would be very bitter about it as you would to. Check it out for yourself and if I have this thing all wrong, I would like to know how.

‘Look, it happens’: 500 U.S. kids died from accidental gun shots in ‘09 To The Daily Sun, Interesting news story concerning Senator Ted Cruz while on a pheasanthunting trip. Commenting on the Feb. 11, 2006 ACCIDENTAL shooting of Harry Whittington by former Vice-President Richard Cheney (on a quail hunt), the senator remarked: “Look, it happens!”

Jokingly, he also mentioned that the 30 lead pellets left in Whittington’s body still set off airport metal detectors.

Another interesting presentation at a recent American Academy of Pediatrics National Conference by Dr. Arin Madenci of Boston Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Dr. Christopher Weldon of Boston Children’s

Hospital(www.upi.com>health news) was entitled “United States Gunshot Violence: Disturbing Trends”.

Seems that about 500 American children/teenagers died in 2009 due to the ACCIDENTAL use of firearms (approximately 80 percent handguns), an increase of about 60 percent over the previous 10 years. Additionally another 7,000 children were hospitalized in that same year due to ACCIDENTAL serious gunshot injuries, which amounted to an 80 percent increase between 1997 and 2009.

Hmm! Sad, but...”Look, it happens!”

‘Wayne’s World’ To The Daily Sun, Have you ever felt so cold and alone?

Or had the feeling of feet turned to stone?

Did you search for the sky to clear way above?

Or try to recapture the joy of lost love?

How do they find where they truly belong?

What on God’s earth did they ever do wrong?

One little step gone astray and they’re lost.

Now seems forever they’ll pay the cost.

Where do they go when roused from their sleep?

And have to decide what goods you can keep.

Just try to live one night on the street.

WARD 2 from page one tral position and deteriorating condition, the theater, Bownes said, “is a problem in and of itself.” He said that purchasing, restoring and operating the venue is “almost cost prohibitive,” while suggesting that steps might be taken to improve the commercial and residential spaces attached to the auditorium.

Bownes said that “there are no looming issues facing the city,” though he expected the pace of improving roads to continue and the central fire station to be renovated and expanded. Echoing other candidates, he expressed concern about the city’s aging population and stressed the need to draw young families to the communities. To that end he said, “There are lots reasons to be optimistic about what we’ve done with the schools,” referring to the renovation of the elementary schools, construction of the Middle School and expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center. “That is going to make a huge difference.” With the buildings in sound condition, Bownes said that “doing something to improve the performance of the schools” should be a priority.

“The most pressing issue,” Bownes said, “is economic development. There really is a need to provide opportunities for employment.” At the same time, he asked “how are we going to deal with it? We have to ask what do we want Laconia to be in 20 years,” he remarked. He noted that the redevelopment of the Allen-Rogers property and the opening of several new restaurants downtown is promising, but confessed “I’m still looking for solutions. We need to think outside the box in terms of downtown.”

“I’ve always enjoyed politics,” Bownes remarked. “I think I can offer a reasonably intelligent voice and contribute, add to the discussion about where Laconia is going.”

Beaudoin, with three write-in votes in the primary, earned a spot on the ballot in 2011, but lost in the general election to Matt Lahey, whose retirement prompted him to run again this year. “I think the city needs help,” he

said flatly. “We keep going over the same things again and again and coming up with the same answers.”

‘We’ve got to get industry back here,” Beaudoin declared, observing that although his business is small, he regularly receives e-mails encouraging him to move his operation to another state or city. “We should advertise,” he said.

He found the recent investments in the Huot Center and Lakes Region Community College encouraging. “90-percent of what goes on at the industrial park is basically machining or advanced manufacturing,” he said. “You’ve got to have bodies, skilled bodies.”

Beaudoin said that the revitalization of downtown depends on attracting industry and increasing employment. “Get the factories, get the people and then get retail stores,” he said, describing the mix of downtown retailers as tilted toward secondhand and consignment shops and “not really very attractive.”

The Weirs, Beaudoin said, should become a year around destination in order to put waterfront property to its highest and best use. “There’s a big difference between a two-a-half month bump in the economy and 12 months,” he said. “The state is looking for a place to put a casino. That would bring the people in.”

Beaudoin is opposed to a “Pay-AsYou-Throw” program of trash collection and prefers the mandatory recycling program that began in July.

“People are doing their best,” he said, adding that the city should have provided toters free of charge. While he would like to see the city acquire the former Laconia State School property, he said “we shouldn’t pay more than $1,” explaining that the cost of addressing contamination on the site will run into the millions.

Bownes said that he has distributed signs and knocked on doors, but Beaudoin admitted “I haven’t been doing a heck of a lot. I thought about signs, but being very frugal, or just plain cheap, and most people feel the same way I do about people knocking on their doors.”

LAX from page 2 had made it past security ran out of the terminal and onto the tarmac or sought cover inside restaurants and lounges.

“We just hit the deck. Everybody in the line hit the floor and shots just continued,” said Xavier Savant, who was waiting in the security line where the shooting took place. He described it as a “Bam! Bam! Bam!” burst of gunfire.

Savant said people bolted through the metal detectors and ran into the terminal.

“My whole thing was to get away from him,” said Savant, an advertising creative director who was heading to New York with his family for a weekend trip.

As police searched for other possible shooters, they escorted travelers out of the airport, which continued operating but stopped some flights from taking off or landing.

Across the U.S., aviation officials stopped LAX-bound flights from taking off from other airports, causing delays around the country. Some Los Angeles-bound flights that were already in the air were diverted to other airports.

At least three other TSA officers were wounded, said J. David Cox Sr., national

president of the American Federation of Government Employees.

The officer who was killed was a behavioral detection officer, Cox said.

Such officers are stationed throughout the airport, looking for suspicious behavior, he said.

Ben Rosen was sitting at the Starbucks eating oatmeal when he heard gunfire erupt and saw people running in all directions or crouching. He grabbed his phone and tried to lie as flat on the ground as he could.

Police showed up with guns drawn, shouting, “This is not a drill! Hands up!”

People put their hands up and then were led out of the terminal to the adjacent international terminal, Rosen said. As they were led out they saw broken glass from a window that looked as if it had been shot out. Rosen left his bag behind.

Six people were taken to the hospital, the Los Angeles Fire Department said. It was unclear whether the gunshot victims were among them.

It was not the first shooting at LAX. On July 4, 2002, a limousine driver opened fire at the airport’s El Al ticket counter, killing an airline employee and a person who was dropping off a friend at the terminal. Police killed the man.

N.H. Boat Museum buys lot on Wolfeboro’s Back Bay, plans to build permanent home there

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

WOLFEBORO — Founded in 1991, the New Hampshire Boat Museum has seen many changes in its two decades of existence. First located in Meredith, the museum spent some time in Weirs Beach, then found a more permanent home in Wolfeboro, located in a building that was initially constructed as the dance hall for the Allen A Resort. This fall, the museum announced its biggest news since that move, and potentially the beginning of the greatest chapter yet in its history: the purchase of a 4-acre parcel of land on Lake Winnipesaukee’s Back Bay, which the organization hopes to soon use to construct a new, waterfront museum.

The property, at 57 Bay Street in Wolfeboro, was sold for $1.25 million. Executive director Lisa Simpson Lutts said the purchase was made possible by an anonymous supporter. She added that the organization hopes to construct and occupy a museum on the property within four years.

As Simpson Lutts explained, the real estate acquisition is the first step toward addressing a problem for the organization, one discovered through a recent effort to see how the museum was viewed from the outside. “We went out to our constituents, members in the community, we did interviews,” she said. “Overwhelmingly, we heard we needed to be right on the water. This Back Bay property was just perfect for us.”

Securing the waterfront property is a significant first step toward an ultimate goal of a Lake Winnipesaukee presence. Simpson Lutts wasn’t able to discuss how much the organization will need to raise to construct a new museum on the property, as plans have yet to be developed for the structure. However, she said the intention is for the building to feature a gallery for a permanent exhibit, a space for a changing exhibit, a museum store, an education room and a function space which will be available for rent for private functions. And, of course, docks to display

some of the museum’s many historic boats, as well as to allow the boating public to visit the museum.

“We expect that the building is not only going to transform us, as a museum, it is also going to transform Wolfeboro,” said Simpson Lutts.

With the change in venue, she said the museum will adopt an expanded mission. Currently, the museum tells the story of freshwater boating beginning in the 19th Century. Simpson Lutts said the scope of history held by the museum should reach further back, to explore the boating traditions and

technologies of North Americans prior to settlement

by European colonists. To that point, she noted that next year’s exhibit will feature canoeing, to coincide with the 40th running of the Annual Smith River Canoe Race.

She would also like the museum’s relevance to expand geographically.

“We’re thought of as a Wolfeboro, Lakes Region entity,” she said, although the museum’s goal is to curate the history of freshwater activities throughsee next page

GAS from page one McSharry return to the forestry truck, open the cab door and then close it, after which he went into the office.

Affidavits said McSharry went upstairs to the living quarters of some student firefighters and asked the unnamed firefighter why he was there, to which the firefighters responded with the same question.

The firefighter reported to police that McSharry told him he was replacing a clogged floor drain and the battery in his portable radio.

The firefighter said he returned to the forestry unit and noticed the key had been returned. He also GRANT from page one with the court, the alleged victim reported the incident to a therapist in California in 2012, who in turn reported it to police. Locally, the case was investigated by the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department and allegedly happened in Gilford.

Grant, through his attorney Emily McLaughlin, had asked the court for permission to present a video-tape of the therapist’s deposition or interview by attorneys while under oath as evidence on his innocence, arguing that the expense and timing difficulties involved in the out-of-state subpoena process are prohibitive.

Assistant Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern objected to the video disposition, saying she would be unable to effectively cross examine any testimony offered by the therapist and Judge James O’Neill agreed, ruling that if the defense wants her to testify she must be in the court room because the defense hasn’t shown that the deposition video-tape is anything but hearsay or that it meets the exceptions under the hearsay rule.

The therapist is not one of the people Ahern plans to call to the stand, although McLaughlin argued at a hearing earlier this week that her statements to California police triggered the entire investigation.

McLaughlin has said she will show the jury evifrom preceding page out the state. “We’re telling the story of all of New Hampshire, not just Wolfeboro, not just Winnipesaukee. There are not many boat museums like us in the country.”

Once the new structure is ready for the museum, Simpson Lutts said she expects the organization to retain its current building and real estate to use for storage and as a sheltered site for its many programs, such as its popular boat building classes. Other programs the museum is known for include the Alton Bay Boat Show, the Vintage Boat Regatta, various lectures, a community sailing program on Lake Wentworth, educational youth programs, the “Back Bay Skippers” model sailboat program, and a shared sailboat program coordinated in conjunction with the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department.

said told police he never saw McSharry replace any storm drain.

McSharry was arrested on October 27 by Gilmanton Police Officer Maxwell Hodgdon and released on personal recognizance bail. The case is being prosecuted by the Belmont Police prosecutor, who does all of Gilmanton’s adult police prosecuting at the circuit court level.

Town Administrator Arthur Capello said yesterday that McSharry was a call firefighter and is no longer employed by Gilmanton. Beyond that he said he couldn’t comment.

dence that the girl’s statement to the California investigating officer about that night differed significantly from what she told other people.

McLaughlin said Grant has contended all along that girl exaggerated a story about him allegedly giving her a “wedgie” in a room full of people because she was mad at her mother, who was allegedly in the room but supposedly didn’t nothing to stop Grant.

“That’s why she hated her mother,” said McLaughlin, making her argument earlier in week to allow the deposition of the therapist to be entered as a defense exhibit and played for the jury.

O’Neill also ruled that the defense may not call a Gilford Police officer to testify that Grant — who is related to him by marriage — is of good character. He agreed with Ahern who said that in order for someone to testify about a defendant’s “good character” the evidence must be relevant or the prosecution must have challenged Grant’s ability to be truthful, which it has not.

The jury can expect to hear from the alleged victim, her mother, and other relatives who were at the 2006 New Year’s Eve party.

McLaughlin also submitted questions she would like O’Neill to ask potential jurors during Monday’s “voir dire” or jury selection. He had previously denied her request to ask the questions herself.

Included in her proposed questions for the prospective jurors include whether or not he or she has ever been the victim of a sexual assault or knows someone who has, if they have young children, and whether or not he or she believes a child who has told someone about an alleged sexual assault should automatically be believe.

O’Neill has previously said he would take lists of suggested juror questions from the prosecution and the defense and take them into consideration when he conducts “voir dire.”

KERRY from page 2 should also answer the question about surveillance because otherwise, would it mean that Britain did not do its own surveillance abroad? The joke was a subtle jab at the U.S. position that allies spy on each other routinely.

Kerry said in the wake of 9/11, the United States and other countries realized they were dealing with a new brand of extremism where people were willing to blow themselves up, even if it meant civilians would be killed.

“There are countless examples of this,” Kerry said, citing the Sept. 21 al-Qaida-affiliated al-Shabab attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, which killed at least 67 people.

“So what if you were able to intercept that and stop it before it happens?” Kerry asked. “We have actually prevented airplanes from going down, buildings from being blown up and people from being assassinated because we’ve been able to learn ahead of time of the plans.”

Asked if Kerry’s comments were off-the-cuff or part of a formal administration response to irritated allies, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Kerry was reiterating the same comments administration officials have been conveying all week. However, Obama has said that just because the technology exists to conduct certain kinds of surveillance, it doesn’t mean the U.S. should use it.

Lone Star stater Carrie Rodriguez brings Austin sound to Plymouth State Nov. 8 PLYMOUTH — January 17, 2013 was Carrie Rodriguez Day in her hometown of Austin, Texas, “in recognition of her work in advancing Austin as the ‘Live Music Capital of the world’.” The singer, songwriter and instrumentalist will make the Silver Center for the Arts at Plymouth State University her home in a single performance November 8 at 8 p.m.

The honor in her hometown was just the latest in a string of accolades for the prodigious fiddler, soulful singer and probing songwriter who has toured with Lyle Lovett, Lucinda Williams, John Prine and Los Lobos.

The Huffington Post says “Carrie Rodriguez just might be the hardest-working woman in American

roots music. The Austin, Texas-born-and-raised singer-songwriter plays the fiddle but doesn’t fiddle around.”

Rodriguez detoured from a degree as a classical violinist at Oberlin, choosing instead to become a fiddler at the Berklee College of Music in Boston after sitting in on a sound check with her father’s friend, Lyle Lovett. She made her solo debut in 2006 with Seven Angels on a Bicycle and says, “All of a sudden I found myself in this position of being called a singer-songwriter, which felt so strange.” But she happily returned to that role on her latest album, Give Me All You Got, which topped the Americana Radio Chart for weeks as one of the strongest debut albums of the year. The album’s producer Lee Townsend says that album “still addresses Carrie’s roots in Americana, but with a bit of a pop edge. I think it is her most mature record—every direction that is explored is distilled to an essential kind of expression.”

Rodriquez toured Europe With Chip Taylor in a program that showcased artists of Hispanic ancestry including Carlos Santana, Los Lobos, Linda Ronstadt, Gloria Estefan, Jose Feliciano and Rodriguez.

The tour captured the heart of Americana music aficionados and infused the Latino community with a dose of Ameri-Chicana pride, according to TODOAustin.com.

Tickets for Carrie Rodriquez’s Plymouth performance are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors and $20 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-

MEREDITH — The Lakes Region Symphony Orchestra (LRSO) is conducting its opening concert on Saturday November 9, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. at InterLakes high school in Meredith.

This concert will feature the winner of our 2013 High School Concerto and Scholarship Competition, cellist Paul Bergeron. Bergeron, a high school senior from Dover, will be performing the Prelude from Concerto for Cello in D minor – a highly challenging and lyrical work by French composer Edouard Lalo.

Also on the November program are the familiar “William Tell Overture” by Rossini – which contains the renowned theme most often recognized as “The Lone Ranger”; and the sublime “Symphony #5 in D minor, Reformation” by Felix Mendelssohn, a work which was not published until several years after Mendelssohn’s death.

The LRSO concerto competition, now entering its 5th venture since its inception four years ago.

More than 50 talented high school students have auditioned, making the selection process extremely challenging. Students compete for a scholarship

Richard Lewis, 90 PORT DICKINSON, N.Y. — Richard (Dick) Lewis, age 90, went to be with his Lord on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 at the Good Shepherd Fairview Home after a prolonged illness. He was predeceased by his parents, Myron and Hazel (Ford) Lewis and his loving wife of 59 years, Beverly (Zillic) Lewis. Dick was born on March 5, 1923, in Greene, NY, lived in Johnson City briefly, then moved to Port Dickinson in 1929 where he resided for 84 years. He served in WWII in Europe as part of the 95th Infantry Division Signal Company from 194345 and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with three stars. Upon his return home, he worked at Links Aviation, helped construct the transmitter for WBNG, and was “an IBMer” for over 35 years.

He was active in Boy Scouts, Christian Businessmen’s Committee, Ogden-Hillcrest United Methodist Church where he served his Lord for over half a century, and other civic organizations. After his retirement he could be seen picking up litter on his “daily constitutional” at his beloved Port Dick Village Park.

He is survived by two sons, Richard (wife Barbara) of Laconia, NH, James (wife Sarah) of Raleigh, NC; two daughters, Linda Corey (husband Richard) of

Vestal, NY, Kay Cox (husband Hugh is deceased) of Panama City Beach, FL, and son-in-law Judd Hitchcock (wife Alexis) of Vestal, NY. He is also survived by seven grandchildren: Mike Hitchcock (wife Kathy), Becky Whitney (husband Chris), Jamie Loughry (husband Donny), Matt Lewis (wife Rachel), Joshua Lewis (wife Mattie), Jennifer Lipsky (husband Cory), and Daniel Lewis. He is also survived by seven great-grandchildren with one more “in the oven”.

Viewing hours were on Sunday, October 13 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Wm. R. Chase & Son Funeral Home, 737 Chenango St. An additional viewing hour was held at 10 a.m. at Ogden-Hillcrest United Methodist Church, 1061 Chenango St. before the 11 a.m. funeral service. A graveside service with military honors followed at the C.V. Cemetery in Hillcrest. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the John D. and Jeanne Wilfley Park. Make out checks to “Village of Port Dickinson” with “Wilfley Park” in the memo line. Please send donations to the Village of Port Dickinson, 786 Chenango St., Binghamton, NY 13901.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Bargain hunting season I was looking through an MLS spreadsheet to see what might be out there for bargains when I ran across an unusual listing in Center Harbor that had an assessed value of $713,300 and a list price of just $299,900. I thought to myself that this might be a steal on a waterfront until I saw the address listed as 41 Kelsea Ave. While Kelsea Ave may be close to the bay, if it were to become waterfront we would likely be praying for the rain to stop. It just so happens that this property would be the perfect place to do that because it is a church! So if you are looking for a truly unique residence at a great price, this might be it!

The property at 41 Kelsea Avenue consists of a quintessential white Catholic Church built in 1907 and an attached two bedroom, custom built home built in 2004. The 63’ x 34’ church hall features beautiful stained glass and woodwork while the home features a top-of-the line kitchen with Viking appliances, custom cabinetry, stone fireplaces, walnut flooring, and a sunroom that contains a 12’ x 7’ lap pool. There is a total of 5,600’ of heavenly living space. The property is zoned residential/commercial so what would you run for a business here? I’m thinking of establishing a church for those who have faith in real estate.

There must be a tax deduction in there somewhere.

This property is not new to the market and was listed by the previous owner for $917,000 back in March of 2010 and it was listed several more times and found no buyers even when reduced down to $695,000. It is now owned by the friendly Bank of America who could no longer wait for a miracle on earth and foreclosed on the property thus it is now offered at a mere 42 percent of the tax assessment.

Another property that appears to be a potentially good deal is at 869 Province Road in Gilmanton. This 1,286 square foot, open concept cape was built in 1994 and while it has just one bedroom and one and a half baths it has an unfinished second floor that’s ready for sheet rock. The home features a large eat-in kitchen, master suite, a great four-season sunroom with cathedral ceilings and a gas stove, and a two car garage. The house sits on a 6 acre country lot. The home is on the market for $175,000 which is 80 percent of the tax assessed

value of $219,800. This is a short sale so third party approval is required.

Another property worth a look is at 26 Mountain Vista Drive in New Hampton. This is a three bedroom, three bath, contemporary home with 2,464 square feet of living space that was built in 1986 on a 2.86 acre lot. This home is just minutes to downtown Meredith and features an open floor plan, lots of light, beamed ceilings, a master suite, fireplace, three decks, and some great mountain views. This home is also a short sale and is on the market for $189,900 or 70 percent of the tax assessed value of $270,700. Might just be worth a look?

Finally, if you are looking for a waterfront cottage on a great little lake, check out the property at 98 Upper Suncook Lane in Barnstead. This 40s vintage, two bedroom, seasonal cottage has 1,000 square feet of space and sits just steps to the water.

It sits on a .19 lot with 85’ of frontage that affords beautiful views of the lake and gorgeous sunsets.

This property is offered at $199,000 or 62 percent of the tax assessed value of $318,900. Don’t wait until next spring, it will be gone...

After completion of a nearly 10-month restoration project, Lucknow officially reopened her front doors on Friday, October 18 after a ribbon cutting ceremony hosted by Executive Director Michel Desplaines and attended by donors, Board Members, staff, volunteers and guests. Young Jenna Schweikert, visiting Castle in the Clouds with her family, represented the future as she cut the ribbon and and opened the doors at the main portico at Lucknow, the Museum at Castle in the Clouds, assisted by Dijit Taylor from the State’s LCHIP fund and Vickie Routhier from The Bank of New Hampshire. While the ribbon cutting ceremony celebrated the rebuilding of the entrance portico, it also commemorated over $2,000,000 that the Castle Preservation Society has invested so far in restoration, rebuilding, and renovation which includes rebuilding the popular dining terrace at the Carriage House, stabilizing and restoring the Lower Gate House, repairing and restoring chimneys, windows and balconies at Lucknow, and this most recent project, the recreation of the historic front entrance. This central element of the Lucknow mansion has been restored to its original appearance through repair and replacement of its significantly deteriorated structural elements.This $250,000 project was made possible through the generosity of three major donors, Bank of New Hampshire, the McIninch Foundation, and LCHIP (New Hampshire Land and Community Heritage Investment Program).

Osprey Watch under way at Squam Lakes Natural Science Center HOLDERNESS — Four of five closely watched satellite-tagged New Hampshire Ospreys have crossed the Caribbean and reached South America. Researchers and educators from the Squam Lakes Natural Science Center have been following the large, fish-eating birds since they were fitted with light-weight, GPS-enabled, transmitter backpacks earlier this year.

Two of the birds – brothers Artoo and Bergen -- are the sons of Art, the adult male Osprey that was followed last year on his amazing 5,000

mile journey from his winter home in Brazil to his nest in Bridgewater.

Art was recaptured in August by Science Center Executive Director Iain MacLeod and his research partner Dr. Rob Bierregaard, and relieved of his transmitter which he had carried for 14,000 miles. That transmitter was placed on his son Artoo.

Artoo left the Bridgewater nest on August 16 and headed to Pennsylvania where he explored various rivers for several weeks. Bergen left a couple days later and spent a couple weeks see next page

How Boredom Can Cause Health Issues in Older Adults Strategies to Combat Geriatric Failure to Thrive

By Jennifer Harvey RN BSN CDP Clinical Director-Live Free Home Health Care Older adults may be safe at home, but if they are experiencing feelings of isolation, lack of physical and mentally-stimulating activities and a decline in proper eating habits, they will be at a higher risk of developing serious health issues.

Geriatric failure to thrive is a serious issue that many older Americans face.

The National Institute of Aging describes failure to thrive as “a syndrome of weight loss, decreased appetite and poor nutrition, and inactivity, often accompanied by dehydration, depressive symptoms, impaired immune function, and low cholesterol.”

Recognizing the signs of “failure to thrive” can help family members and loved ones make a concentrated effort to help improve their loved one’s overall quality of life.

Depression. Many depressed seniors are reluctant to talk about their feelings or ask for help. To help recognize the signs of depression, note the person’s moods and ask how she’s feeling. Is she connecting with friends or involved in social organizations? Has she maintained an interest in hobbies and daily activities? Note that being sad because of a loss is normal.

Depression continues regardless of circumstances, and is much more serious than occasional sadness. Oftentimes the depressed person cannot verbalize what causes the constant sadness, but depression is an overwhelming, ongoing sadness that is not affected by daily activities that could bring joy.

Weight Loss/Decreased Appetite. Losing weight without trying could be a sign of an underlying health condition. It could also be related to an easily resolved situation such as difficulty grasping cooking tools, loneliness at mealtimes or getting to the store regularly.

Inactivity/Failure to Keep up Daily Routines. Pay attention to the person’s appearance, such as noticing if her clothes are clean and she appears to be taking care of herself. Also pay attention to the home to see if it appears to be taken care of. Are the lights working? Is the bathroom clean?

Home Care Can Help If you do notice several signs of failure to thrive and realize the time and skills needed to properly assist are more than you can manage, a home care agency can help. Qualified home care agencies are skilled at providing the care and companionship necessary to increase quality of life and help combat the symptoms of geriatric failure to thrive. Here are some ways a home care agency such as LIVE FREE HOME HEALTH CARE can help older adults protect their health: • Encourage attendance and serve as a personal escort to social outings • Play interactive games with clients such as board games, cards and Nintendo Wii • Plan and schedule visits with friends and neighbors • Provide transportation to an adult day facility or a low impact exercise class • Provide companionship during family celebrations or vacations for maximum comfort and safety • Introduce clients to social media such as Facebook and Skype so they can connect with family and friends even if they are homebound • Assistance with meals and diet, including: • Grocery shopping, planning and preparing nutritious, diet-specific meals • Education for the older adult about proper diet and nutrition to maintain maximum health • A companion to enjoy meals with rather than eating alone Caring for a frail older adult is about more than medication reminders and food preparation. It is about helping that person live his or her best life possible. Contact Live Free Home Health Care today to learn how we can help provide comfort, foster independence, and improve an older person’s quality of life to increase the possibility that in-home care can be a long-term, sustainable option.

from preceding page on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.

“Amazingly Bergen and Artoo crossed paths just to the west of the Chesapeake on the afternoon of September 23,” said MacLeod. “Then they both headed out over the open ocean (known as the “Georgia bite”), at one point only half a mile apart, through the following night and both returned to shore on the Georgia coast on the 24th.” They then took different routes down to Florida, but roosted within four miles of each other on the night of September 30. Both crossed to Cuba then to Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Bergen made a 500+mile over ocean crossing to the coast of Colombia on October 11 while Artoo lingered around the town of Higuey in eastern D.R. until October 20. He crossed to Venezuela – a 460+ mile crossing -- on the morning of October 21.

Bergen has settled into a remote Colombian river valley near the border with Venezuela, where he might spend the next 18 months before returning to New Hampshire in 2015. “He may also just be staging there before moving to another location,” said MacLeod. “His brother Artoo now has to find himself a safe territory too where he can spend the next 18 months,” MacLeod added.

A third youngster, named Weber, left her nest in Hampton Harbor on September 6 and made an uninterrupted flight down to the Dominican Republic and crossed over the Venezuela on September 27. Sadly, she only lasted a little more than 24 hours in Venezuela before her signal stopped moving and researchers assume she died.

The fourth Osprey, an adult male named Donovan, was tagged at his nest in Tilton in late May. He is the father

of Jill and Chip, two youngsters who were followed last year. Donovan left New Hampshire on September 17 and skirted just west of New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington on his way to Florida. He flew over the Bahamas on his way to Cuba, then over to Haiti, but then surprised MacLeod by continuing east over to Puerto Rico and then to the Virgin Islands. He ended up on St. Croix before making an attempt to cross the Caribbean on October 9, but changed his mind and returned to Puerto Rico.

“Maybe he forgot something,” jokes MacLeod. After a week fishing around the town of Ponce on the south coast of Puerto Rico, Donovan flew back to St. Croix and completed a nonstop 660 mile trip across the Caribbean to Venezuela.

Donovan then headed southwest and quickly reached the Rio Claro – a tributary of the mighty Orinoco River, where he has settled for the last couple days.

“This may be his winter home,” said MacLeod. “Donovan is a mature bird who has made this migration several times. He knew where he was going -- Ospreys are vary faithful to both their winter and summer haunts and will return year after year to the same South American river,” added MacLeod.

The fifth tagged Osprey, an adult male named Mackenzie, died before leaving New Hampshire on the shore of Head Pond in Berlin – likely the victim of a Great Horned Owl or Goshawk attack. MacLeod recovered his remains in early October.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center launched the project in 2011 with financial and logistical support from Public Service of New Hampshire (PSNH). In addition to PSNH support, MacLeod also gained project funding from the Jane B. Cook 1983 Charitable Trust and the Scisee next page

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

don’t share your sense of humor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel like you still haven’t become the person you want to be, but you’re getting closer. You may have started out as a work of nature, but the efforts you make now are helping you become a work of art.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Don’t side with the one who doubts everything and always takes the negative route. Neither should you side with the one who loves everything and always takes the positive route. Think for yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be working backward today. You have the solution, and now you just have to find the problem that fits it best. Using your resources well is the surest way to attract more of them.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 2). The odds are in your favor in the next six weeks, so take risks. You’ll enjoy a new playmate this month. December furthers your personal interests. Soon you’ll be able to make money by branching out in this direction. February is for sorting out the details of a familial situation. You’ll relish your leisure time in March.

Cancer and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 33, 28, 14 and 17.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maintaining integrity equals keeping your agreements -not some of them, but all of them. Your heart and desire may be leading you in a different direction now. Think of this as a trial, a test of your true mettle.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to find an inspiring environment, and it’s not that hard now, either. All you have to do is heed that tiny voice beckoning you toward that thing you’ve never seen or done before.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Maybe you’re waiting for the moment when push comes to shove. But push doesn’t always come to shove. Sometimes push comes to “run away from the one pushing.” That’s more likely the scenario today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll try a new role on for size today. Actors know that in order to make a role believable to others, it must first be believable to you. One way to make that happen is to live the role 24/7.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It may feel like you are under the gravitational pull of something that is not entirely good for you. As long as you are within reach of it, it will continue to tug at you. Stay far away, and you’ll be beyond its power.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You like to be flexible and try new ideas on for size, but you don’t want to be forced to wear them all of the time, especially if they don’t fit well. Avoid overly pushy types.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are a smooth persuader. Your soft words will have heavy influence because your intention is so clear within you. You don’t have to spell things out. People sense what you want even though it’s all below the surface.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The key is not to lose your cool -- not when the clock ticks past the time you’re supposed to arrive, and not when the competition shows up with twice the power. Maintain your composure, and you’ll win in the end.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may feel like teasing those you love and those you simply think deserve some teasing.

Just be careful not to antagonize people who

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 2, the 306th day of 2013. There are 59 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 2, 1948, President Truman surprised the experts by winning a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey.

On this date: In 1783, Gen. George Washington issued his Farewell Orders to the Armies of the United States near Princeton, New Jersey.

In 1795, the 11th president of the United States, James Knox Polk, was born in Mecklenburg County, N.C. In 1865, the 29th president of the United States, Warren Gamaliel Harding, was born near Corsica, Ohio.

In 1889, North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states.

In 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (dubbed the “Spruce Goose” by detractors), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California.

In 1959, game show contestant Charles Van Doren admitted to a House subcommittee that he’d been given questions and answers in advance when he appeared on the NBC-TV program “Twenty-One.” In 1962, President John F. Kennedy delivered a brief statement to the nation in which he said that aerial photographs had confirmed that Soviet missile bases in Cuba were being dismantled, and that “progress is now being made toward the restoration of peace in the Caribbean.”

In 1963, South Vietnamese President Ngo Dihn Diem was assassinated in a military coup.

In 1976, former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter became the first candidate from the Deep South since the Civil War to be elected president as he defeated incumbent Gerald R. Ford.

In 1979, black militant JoAnne Chesimard escaped from a New Jersey prison, where she’d been serving a life sentence for the 1973 slaying of New Jersey state trooper Werner Foerster.

(Chesimard, who took the name Assata Shakur, is believed to be living in Cuba.)

In 1983, President Reagan signed a bill establishing a federal holiday on the third Monday of January in honor of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. In 2002, President George W. Bush called Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein a “dangerous man” with links to terrorist networks, and said that U.N. inspections for weapons of mass destruction were critical.

Ten years ago: In Durham, New Hampshire, V. Gene Robinson was consecrated as the first openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church.

Five years ago: Barack Obama and John McCain uncorked massive get-out-the-vote operations in more than a dozen battleground states the Sunday before Election Day. One year ago: In the face of criticism from city officials and residents, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg backed down and announced that the New York City Marathon would be canceled, with much of the city still reeling from the impact of Superstorm Sandy.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 2, 2013— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am hurt that my children and grandchildren do not include me when they have family get-togethers. They say they would have to clean their houses if I came, or they don’t know when I am available. They expect me to call when I want to see them. They swear they aren’t upset with me, but they never initiate a call. When I invite them to my house, the conversation revolves around recent outings and get-togethers at their homes to which I haven’t been invited.

I have taken my grandchildren on many vacations over the years, but they are teenagers now and too busy. They don’t want to go unless I include their friends, which I cannot afford. I recently decided not to call them and have had no contact in more than three weeks. Should I just go on without them in my life? -- Hurt in Florida Dear Hurt: We agree that their excuses seem flimsy, but they do not need to include you in every get-together or outing. It’s perfectly OK for them to have these events with just their spouses and kids. You also know teenagers tend to be busy and that family obligations are not high on their list of priorities. We don’t believe anyone is being intentionally hurtful.

We hope you will continue to call, email and invite them over. You don’t need to take the kids on expensive vacations, but a special few hours with Grandma a couple of times a year -- dinner at a nice restaurant or watching their favorite rock band together -- would be lovely and help cement the bond.

Think of ways to make the relationship warmer, instead of focusing on your hurt feelings and blaming them because you aren’t closer.

Dear Annie: Please tell your older readers that if they can no longer afford to maintain their home, they should sell it and get an apartment or move into a senior residence, instead of trying to hang on so they will have something to leave the

kids.

I am tired of spending every vacation at my mother-inlaw’s house so my husband can remodel, spending our hardearned cash because she expects him to foot the bill for tools and materials.

She has other children, but they do nothing. When we suggest she move, she says, “I want to leave the house to my kids when I die.” Annie, the only “kid” who will benefit is the daughter who lives on the property rent-free. The others have no desire to move back into the old homestead. It is nothing but a financial and physical burden. If she really cared about her kids, she would sell it and move into an apartment. -Want a Real Vacation Dear Want: A lot depends on what Mom’s will says about the dispensation of the property. Still, it is up to your husband to decide whether he wants to continue putting in the effort.

We hope you will be supportive of his decision. It is harder for parents to move than you might think. Mom’s reluctance to sell may be less about her kids than it is about her anxieties.

Dear Annie: I have a suggestion for “Your Private Pool Owner,” who complained of people assuming an open invitation to swim.

When I was a child, a neighbor used this system: He posted a pennant when the pool was available. Green signaled adult supervision would be provided, and blue meant children had to be accompanied by a responsible adult. We children kept a close eye on that flagpole all summer long. -- Susan in Baton Rouge Dear Susan: We wish the adults would be as conscientious as the children.

Dear Readers: Don’t forget to replace the batteries in your smoke alarms when you set your clocks back one hour.
