Live entertainment, yes, but strippers will have to wait BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Selectmen voted unanimously to give the Lakes Region Cafe and Tavern — the former Kings Grant Inn — a live entertainment license with the exclusion of so-called exotic dancing. Selectmen said exotic entertainment was left out of the license because owner Willard Drew hadn’t answered three questions
posed by Town Administrator Scott Dunn regarding how Drew and his business partner Tom Lyons planned on preventing illegal drug activity that led to a raid on the premises — then doing business as Mardis Gras North — in October of 2011. The questions are what steps Drew and Lyons will take to ensure exotic dancers won’t be selling drugs; how Drew and Lyons will provide safety for the dancers
in the private show area; and how Drew and Lyons will prevent a recurrence of the issues that led to a drug raid by state narcotics officers in October of 2011. “Frankly I’m disheartened we won’t be discussion exotic dancing,” said Attorney David Bownes last night. Bownes represents Drew and Lyons. He said that when Drew re-opened his see GILFORD page 12

HOPKINTON (AP) — Two New Hampshire men were using a torch to cut into a metal container holding fireworks when they set off a blast at a Hopkinton landscaping company, killing them both, fire officials said Wednesday. State fire marshals said Lucas Burke of Allenstown and Ethan Keeler of Epsom set off the explosion early Tuesday morning. Both men were 21. They say the pair was using an oxy-acetylene cutting torch to get into the container. Investigators said the two were not authorized to be on the property. State fire marshals did not immediately return a call seeking comment on whether the men knew the container held fireworks. Officials say the fireworks were consumer-grade, not commercial-grade. Hopkinton firefighters were called to the scene by neighbors following the 1:30 a.m. explosion at the New see FIREWORKS page 13
GOP said to be weighing short-term debt limit hike WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republican leaders are considering a shortterm increase in the U.S. debt limit as a possible way to break out of the gridlock that threatens the nation with an unprecedented default in as little as a week, officials said Wednesday night. There now is far less urgency on Capitol Hill about ending the government shutdown, which heads into its 10th day on Thursday. It has caused inconvenience and financial concern for many individual Americans but appears not to threaten the
widespread economic damage a default might bring. The officials declined to say what conditions, if any, might be attached to legislation to raise the $16.7 trillion debt limit for an undetermined period, perhaps a few weeks or months. The GOP rank and file are expected to meet and discuss the issue on Thursday, before a delegation led by Speaker John Boehner goes to the White House to meet with President Barack Obama. Obama has said he won’t agree to sign a debt limit increase if conditions are
attached. Republicans are demanding as yet-unspecified concessions to reduce deficits or make changes in the nation’s threeyear-old health care law. At the same time, the House has voted to create a 20-member group of lawmakers from the House and Senate to negotiate over those and other issues — a bill that made no mention of the debt limit. The officials describing the developments late Wednesday spoke only on condition of anonymity, saying they were not see STANDOFF page 6
Boston unsure if school bus drivers will show up for work Thursday
BOSTON (AP) — Wary city officials in Boston said Wednesday they’re hoping school bus drivers who staged a surprise strike this week won’t leave students stranded again, but they can’t offer any guarantees. Interim Superintendent of Schools John McDonough said schools will again open an hour earlier on Thursday, in case buses don’t run and parents are forced to drop kids off before work. He said schools also
will continue to excuse transportationrelated absences. “We do not want to do this forever,” McDonough said. “We want certainty. And we want the drivers to commit to doing their jobs every day, and doing them safely and on time.” Boston school buses rolled again Wednesday, the day after about 600 drivers refused to run their routes. The wildcat strike Tuesday stranded about 33,000
children, who were shuttled to schools in police cars and offered free rides on public transportation. Boston Mayor Tom Menino has expressed outrage over the strike and vowed to punish those responsible. “We can’t let this rogue element run Boston’s public schools or the transportation issue,” he said Wednesday.

Retired police officer killed after firing at U.S. Courthouse in West Virginia WHEELING, W.Va.

LETTERS McCain & other GOP elites are much too eager to surrender To The Daily Sun, Of course I expected that John McCain, Ayotte, and Graham would not be there for the fight FOR Americans, but to hear McCain is ready to throw in the towel, it makes me wonder; do you know the damage you are doing to the future of my grandchildren and others? McCain and other elite Republicans (in their minds) like Judd Gregg are so anxious to give in to Barack Hussein Obama. Once we have completely lost all that is good about America we won’t be going back — ever. Instead of McCain and other light weight Republicans buying into Obama’s plan, why aren’t they demanding that the ILLEGAL INVADERS should not be holding a rally on our land, and
denying WWII vets and others to visit the memorial? Why? Why are senior citizens, and visitors to our country denied, and not in a nice way, access to our parks, etc? Obama is punishing us and you remain silent? Why? Please tell me why our country and families are no longer important to you. As long as killing babies in the womb, or right after arriving, you could care less about what the Obama Zombie and Obama, do, right? Every time Obama talks about the children he makes me ill. He doesn’t care about babies — who someday become citizens of this great country. Aw, bring in the Illegal Invaders to fill the slots. Niel Young Laconia
LETTERS
From Texas, thanks so much to the lady in the Subaru wagon
Obama has made 19 charges to ACA since it was passed?
To The Daily Sun, There is certainly a lot to celebrate in New Hampshire, the majestic fall foliage, maple products, and the like. However, its absolute invaluable resource is its people. My wife and I were on vacation and, for about the 1000’th time, found ourselves hopelessly lost. We were off a road in Laconia trying to decipher maps and travel books when a woman stopped and asked if everything was all right. We replied that we were from out of state and were looking for a place to stay. She began rattling off
To The Daily Sun, Perhaps the Republican House did make the decision to not pass a clear continuing resolution to fund the government that eventually led to the “government shut-down”. By last estimates, almost 83 percent of the government is still working and there is no question they will receive back pay. The decision on what to close and whom to send home is made by the affected departments under guidance from the administration, but when one department asked if they had any discretion, they were told, “...yes, as long as it doesn’t reduce the impact.” This sad fact is seen in the closing of our open-air memorials, memorials like Mt Vernon, which take no federal funds and have no federal employees, Florida Bay (the ocean, for heaven’s sake) and the Everglades, people being forced out of homes they own around Lake Mead just because those homes are on federal land, etc.; calculated moves to cause Americans pain. Can this possibly be right? These decisions were made by a Democratic administration. I understand the House was attempting to make it fair for the American people by letting them have relief from the
directions to a hotel near where we were. She accurately recognized our bewilderment and said, “Look, if you don’t mind following me, I’ll drive you there.” And she did. Pointing to the hotel, she gave a cheery wave goodbye and drove off. Now, that may not seem remarkable to some, but for this gray bearded Texan, it was so kind that I am compelled to share this with you. So, to the pretty lady in the Subaru wagon, many, many heart felt thanks! Keith & Judy Pettit Arlington, Texas
Too bad we have to wait so long to vote these people out To The Laconia Daily Sun, We’ve all heard the term “enemies abroad”. Well we don’t have to worry about that any more, with what we have “working for us” in D.C. The fellas there will kill our country quicker than anything outside of our country. Just think, we actually voted for these people. No person elected should be “in” for more than two terms; also if they shut off wages and benefits of innocent folks they too should have
their wages “stopped”. Someone wrote that idea last week and I agree! Too bad they have to wait a long time to vote them out and who knows who will be available and what will they do. Limited terms sure sound good instead of paying and taking care of them medically the rest of their lives for sinking the country. I guess brats just can’t play nice. Jean A. Boudreau Lochemere (Tilton)
employee mandate; the same relief that President Obama gave to the employers and the 72 percent subsidy given to members of Congress and their staff. Their message and methods probably wouldn’t work in the business world. However, the president of a company whose main message is “I was elected, you lost and I won’t negotiate.” wouldn’t last long with a board of directors. ACA is the law, upheld by the Supreme Court, although they actually ruled it a tax and there are about 28 of those. My understanding of federal laws is that they apply equally to all Americans and that only Congress can vote to change the law, yet President Obama has actually made 19 changes to this law since it was passed. Can this possibly be right? I was under the impression I lived in a republic but now find myself wondering when it became a kingdom. Regardless of the rhetoric from Washington, the math has to add up and rhetoric has to pass the smell test. So far we seem to be trillions of dollars in debt and it’s beginning to smell very bad in Washington. Althea Dunscombe Center Harbor
Here are a few reasons why 57% of population rejects ACA
N.H. already exports excess electricity out-of-state now
To The Daily Sun, In response to Kate Miller’s assertion that a canvas of unbiased think tanks support Obamacare and the ACA: rubbish. President Obama said the following: “If you like your health care plan you can keep it. It will reduce the cost of health care premiums by $2,500 per family. I will not sign any health care plan that adds to our deficit.” It transpires that the first two assertions are wrong. As to the third, since Ms. Miller likes to tout objective and
To The Daily Sun, Why do some town officials want to permanently destroy the environment and natural beauty of N.H.? Tourism is our number one industry. By considering the proposed, yet not approved Northern Pass (Hydro-Quebec, Canada) project — a proposal by a foreign company to rape 187 miles from the boarder of our country, starting in starting in Pittsburg through the White Mountain National Forest onto Franklin then Deerfield. Installing 1,500 plus twelve story sky scraping towers (steel made in China). I went to all four public hearing meetings held in Concord, Plymouth, Whitefield, and Colebrook to hear first-hand, heart-warming stories of the love for N.H. On the other side many stories of being harassed. Such as, Northern Pass has been flying helicopters over and over the proposed route like black flies scaring livestock, wildlife and even humans. They are also pestering land owners to sell their generational homes. Northern Pass bought land that
credible sources, there is this from the Hoover Institute’s Charles Blahaus: “The ACA is expected to increase net federal spending by more than $1.35 trillion and add more than $340 billion to the deficit in the next 10 years and increasing amounts thereafter.” There are reasons that 57 percent of the populace rejects the ACA; these are but a few.

Belmont Library Board thanks Jackie Heath for 9 great years To The Daily Sun, The Belmont Library Board of Trustees would like to thank Jackie Heath for her nine years of public service to the Belmont Public Library. While Jackie was library director, the library has made a variety of improve-

used to be the one thousand-acre campground for the proposed convertor station in Franklin. It will not provide all the jobs as everyone is led to believe. Once the converter is set up and running it will be completely self-sufficient. I heard talk of an additional route off from Franklin to Sunapee onto Claremont. Crisscrosses all over N.H. When will it stop? N.H. already exports excess electricity out of the state now. We do not want or need the Northern Pass.

LETTERS So-called Defense Department has had its way too long To The Daily Sun, There are only two legal methods for this country to declare war on another country: As you might know it is within the power of Congress to declare war. The president doesn’t have that authority. Second to that, the United Nations Security Council, by a unanimous vote, can sanction a military attack on a country. (I can’t recall that happening!) Other than those two legal options, military assault is illegal and therefore criminal! If you recall, more than 10 years ago, President George W. Bush and his cohorts took their case for military assault on Iraq. The evidence was faulty and the U.N. did not accept it as legitimate or adequate. Kofi Annam, Sec./General of the U.N. said any subsequent military action by the United States would be illegal. That ruling did not deter the U.S. from bombing and invading Iraq with devastating results. Iraq lost more than a half million people, soldiers and civilians alike, in the ensuing years. There still is just cause to arrest George W. Bush for “crimes against humanity” as described in defining documents
all lawyers and military personnel are familiar with! Of course, it never happen. Since then, we have, with impunity and disregard for human life, bombed other mid-eastern counties. Our excuse has been, in doing so, we are killing dangerous people who pose a threat to our own security. Although not one American has been killed by foreign terrorists we cling to that alibi with tenacious authority. Every bombing raid we conduct is illegal, therefore criminal. American citizens (for the most part) accept this brutality with disdain and give their passive approval — which allows these killings to continue. Even churches have withheld their condemnation of this brutality which is against every moral law we have agreed to uphold! The so-called Defense Department and the leaches in the weapons industries have had their way for too long. Make a positive statement, and do all you can — even in a small way, to end wars and bombing raids by the United States. Do not support criminality! Leon R. Albushies Gilford

The Tea Party doesn’t care as long as Pres. Obama gets hurt To The Daily Sun, They are standing firm and refusing to give an inch. Henry Ford would never have an assembly line under the GOP. Thomas Edison and electricity/the telephone — forget about it. We would still be walking around with candles. But as usual the GOP hasn’t thought this out because they thought the Dems would fold on demand. The GOP is good at telling us what to do as long as they are not affected personally, like health care, wars and anything they can use as a prop. They will stand up for POWs and MIAs but if the vets need help they will turn their backs. Unless someone is watching of course. The Tea Party doesn’t care as long as Obama gets hurt. That has been in the works since day one. It has nothing to do with health care (which seems to be off to a busy start) but that was a workable excuse to
unify against the Dems. It is easier to say how bad this law can be than how good it can be. They can make up any number of reasons no matter how far fetched they are because no one is checking each thing they say. The bottom line is we have to find out how it works and repair the problems as they arise. I really don’t understand the reasoning or mentality of this type of anti-Obama terrorism. Bill Krystal on Morning Joe this AM, when told people might get hurt from services being cut, just gave his “joker style grin” as if to say no big deal get over it. But that is the Tea Party for you as they live on a different planet from the rest of us. Some in the GOP are now asking for a clean CR to vote on and hopefully the ranks are falling apart.

Vaccines are biological agents & must be treated as such To The Daily Sun, The other day I read in The Laconia Daily Sun that the Waterville Valley town hall offices were hosting a flu shot day on October 4. I was in the Belknap County Superior Court yesterday and thought I was seeing things. Please tell me I was imagining things. I thought that they too, are having a flu shot day on October 10? This is disturbing on many levels. The United States Department of Labor (OSHA) has specific HazMat and Emergency Response Procedures with regard to biological agents and the event of a spill or breakage. Yes, vaccines are biological agents and must be treated as such. Have these offices been briefed on these procedures? Do they have a chain of custody procedure that
is being implemented? Have they been briefed on the procedures in the event that someone is accidentally jabbed with a contaminated needle? I mean, haven’t we all seen those bio-hazard boxes in the doctors’ offices in which used needles are to be placed in? (https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/ owadisp.show_document?p_ table=standards&p_id=9765) These are legitimate concerns. The last time that I read up on the HazMat procedures with regard to vaccine vials breaking or spilling, I read that an entire area must be evacuated in the HazMat crew must perform cleanup — you know, the men in “HazMat suits.” Dawn Crim Laconia

Belmont Selectbaord agrees to lease old Winnisquam Fire Station to marina By Michael Kitch
BELMONT — Selectmen say they are receptive to turning over use of the former Winnisquam Fire Station to a neighboring business. On Tuesday the board indicated it would support leasing the building on Sunset Drive to Winnisquam Marine. Town Administrator K. Jeanne Beaudin said that Winnisquam Marine owner Ed Crawford has expressed interest in securing the building for possible use as boat storage and other purposes. Beaudin said Crawford plans to view the property next month. The former fire station is located across Sunset Drive from the marina, which is situated at the corner of Sunset and Rte 3 (Laconia Rd.). The volunteer Winnisquam Fire Company was disbanded in 2006 and 2007 and the volunteer fire company turned the facility over to the town of Belmont. Most recently the Belmont Parks and Recreation Department has been using the building for its programs. Beaudin said the Parks and Recreation Department will soon vacate the old fire station and will be moving to the second floor of the Belmont Mill in the second week of November. Selectmen said they were willing to lease the building to Winnisquam
Marine in the short term provided the business agrees to pay all insurance and maintenance on the property in addition to paying rent and the cost of utilities. Beaudin said she would explore what other storage building owners and charging for rent before recommending what to charge the marina to rent the building. Winnisquam Marine has said it is interested in buying the building. Any sale, however, would have to be approved by the voters at Town Meeting, selectmen noted. NOTES: Selectmen reviewed the proposed 2014 budgets for several town departments. The largest budget the examined was for Public Works, which is proposing to spend $1,014,354.64. Other budgets which were reviewed included the Town Clerk’s Office, the Finance Office, the library ($31,433), sold waste ($544,539), and patriotic purposes ($20,229). The selectmen expect to conclude their review of town department budgets at their next meeting set for Oct. 21. Library Trustees told selectmen that Rebecca Albert has been hired as the new library director. Selectmen approved spending $31,300 for an engineering study for the first phase of a multiphase-reconstruction of Ladd Hill Road.

He told them that while he would prefer legislation extending the Treasury’s borrowing ability beyond the next election, he would also sign a shorter-term bill. In addition to leadership conversations, a group of House conservatives met privately during the day for what several officials described as a wide-ranging dis-
cussion on the debt limit and the threat — or lack of it — posed by default. No consensus was reached, but among those who spoke was Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., the 2012 GOP vice presidential candidate who is chairman of the House Budget Committee and a prominent deficit hawk.

Inter-Lakes initiatives will be aimed at building greenhouse at elementary school & adding light to I-LHS football field By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — The Inter-Lakes School Board has given its blessing to efforts to solicit community support for two initiatives involving school facilities. One calls for building an instructional greenhouse at Inter-Lakes Elementary School. The second calls for installing lights and making other improvements at the Inter-Lakes High School athletic field. The board gave the nod to both endeavors at its meeting Monday evening. Dr. Steve Kelley, principal of the school’s lower grades, said he wants to build a greenhouse to be a “living classroom” where children would receive basic education through hands-on learning. “There’s too much talk about, and not enough immersion in,” Kelley told the board explaining why he thinks the greenhouse is a good way to stimulate the interest of youngsters who do not respond as readily to more-traditional forms of classroom instruction. He said he decided to put forth the greenhouse idea after watching a poor student become a motivated learner after several weeks of taking care of the principal’s pet hermit crab. Kelley estimated the cost to build and equip the greenhouse would be about $65,000. He said that he wants to be able to approach groups and individuals in the community to defray the cost of the project.
“Digging in the dirt will get the kids turned on to learning,” Kelley said. He also believed the greenhouse would be an opportunity to get parents and families more involved in the school. Kelley said the financial impact of the greenhouse program would be minimal and would not require the hiring of additional staff. The plan to make improvements to the artificial turf athletic field was made by resident Chris Kelly, who said he wanted to organize a committee to push the project and build community support. The main element of the improvements would be the installation of lights at the artificial-turf playing field, which would allow for night games. Other improvements would be construction of concession and rest room facilities and the installation of drainage. Kelly said he envisioned that funding support would come not only from Inter-Lakes communities, but from outside the local area, too. He said he planned to meet with Meredith town officials to present the idea to them. School Board member Howard Cunningham urged Kelly to also approach officials in Center Harbor and Sandwich, since those communities are part of the Inter-Lakes District. Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond said there was the potential of the district getting additional revenue for the use of its athletic field if it could be used for night games or other events.

Clarification: Convention’s Executive Committee will decide on transfers on Oct. 22 The headline over a page 1 story in Wednesday’s paper about the ongoing feud between the Belknap County Convention and the Belknap County Commission and administration stated that budget transfer requests made by the commission had been “denied” by the convention’s Executive Com-
mittee. To be more precise, the Executive Committee declined to make what they saw as same-day requests to approve the requested fund transfers. The committee will take the matter up again when it next meets on October 22.

WVA from page 2 Mayor Andy McKenzie said police who briefed him earlier Wednesday told him Piccard was a 20-yearplus veteran of the force who retired 13 years ago. Investigators were seeking a search warrant for Piccard’s home in hopes of determining a motive and if he acted alone, said Chief Deputy Mike Claxton of the Marshals Service in northern West Virginia. Asked if the gunman had any beef with the U.S. government, Claxton said, “We’re really digging hard at this point to find out.” Claxton said a man later identified as Piccard began firing from a parking lot across from the federal building. “He was observed in the parking lot very quickly after the first shots were fired,” he said. The building houses a variety of courtrooms and related offices, including judges, prosecutors and law enforcement. Officials said it was too early to tell whether Piccard was targeting anyone in the building or what his motive may have been. “That’s still trying to be determined,” said Bob Johnson, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh office. People inside the building ducked under desks as the shots struck the building and shattered windows. Carla Webb Daniels told media outlets she was in her attorney’s office nearby when she heard loud gunshots. She saw the gunman fire from a bank parking lot across the street. “I was so nervous, I couldn’t believe it,” Daniels said. “People were scared and were banging on the doors asking to be let in.” The three-story gray federal building remained cordoned off Wednesday night, surrounded by a heavy police presence in the city along the Ohio River in West Virginia’s northern panhandle about 60 miles southwest of Pittsburgh. Most people were going about their evenings, eating at local restaurants in the small city of about 28,000 with an older downtown with stone buildings, banks and coffee shops

Resurfacing of Smith Track to be accomplished soon By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA – After being below par for nearly a year, Parks and Recreation Director Kevin Dunleavy said Smith Track at Opechee Park is scheduled to get its new surface sometime in the next two weeks. Dunleavy estimated the cost of resurfacing the running track at $33,000. He said the company hired for the resurfacing is Cape and Islands Track and Tennis of the Cape Cod area of Massachusetts. For the past 15 years the top layer of the track has been rubber granules raked to an even plane and then sprayed with a latex binder. Meant to be porous so water would seep down during the rain or snow melt and evaporate later, Dunleavy said the refurbishing jobs done in 2001, 2005, and 2011 made the top layer thicker and less able to transmit water and moisture. He also said the constant use packs the top surface which also contributes to it being less porous. With moisture trapped between the layers, as the sun heats the track, water turns to vapor but with no way to dissipate the vapor, the surface of the track STRIKE from page 2 Local 8751, which represents the drivers, presented a list of demands Wednesday to the company contracted by the city to transport students, Veolia Transportation Inc. John Dunlap, the city’s chief of labor and personnel, said the union said there would be no more job actions. But because the union disavowed the strike on Tuesday, which it said was led by rogue members, it was unclear if its assurances meant the end of any work stoppages. “We very much hope that that proves to be the case,” Dunlap said. Dunlap said Veolia officials told him they were

reviewing the demands, though they did not share the specifics with him. Valerie Michael, a spokeswoman for Veolia, said that talks with the union were continuing Wednesday afternoon but that she had nothing to report. Drivers picketing outside the bus yards Tuesday said the company was not honoring the terms of their contract. They’ve also said they’re frustrated with Veolia’s treatment of them, including changes in their health care plan, failing to provide key route information and ineffective communications. The drivers’ union said drivers agreed to return to work Wednesday morning after Veolia agreed to meet with the union Wednesday to discuss grievances. Students had an 82 percent attendance rate Tuesday, about 10 percent lower than a normal day, the school department said.

began to bubble and eventually buckle in spots. Dunleavy said the city is still in financial negotiations with the company that did a resurfacing in August of 2011 and some repair work in 2012. He said the company owner keeps telling him the bubbling and buckling “is not of his making.” When the track bubbled again in June of 2012 the city closed it again. Dunleavy said last week that tracks with similar top layers experienced similar problems so the city decided that the entire rubberized surface would have to be removed. Money for the resurfacing was included in this fiscal year’s capital improvement budget. Dunleavy said that the new surface, which is about medium grade, will be installed and then lined within the next two weeks. He described medium grade as better than the first track but not the grade that colleges and professional stadiums use. He said the estimated life of the new surface is about eight years when the track itself is 22 years old. Dunleavy said a complete new track will likely be needed in 2020.

Girl Scouts among recipients of Belmont Heritage Awards By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — The town yesterday honored a construction company, local Girls Scouts, and a farming couple for their contributions to the town’s quality of life. The Board of Selectmen honored Busby Construction for the work its crew performed in the village revitalization project, the Girl Scouts and their leaders for youth volunteerism, and Cindy and Joseph Rolfe for helping to preserve the town’s agricultural heritage. The winners of the Community Heritage Awards received a framed certificate featuring the 1833 Belmont Mill tower. The annual presentations, which began in 2011, are held to coincide with National History Week. Belmont Heritage Commission Chairman Linda Frawley announced the recipients which Selectmen Chairman Ron Cormier presented the certificates.
The Busby Construction crew, headed by Rick Segalini was cited for the way it carried out the village revitalization project and for its advice regarding the historic bandstand. The Girl Scouts were honored for their many contributions to the town over years, in particular their entry to the town’s Old Home Day parade, and the planting 2,500 daffodils in the Village area. Cindy and Joseph Role were honored for the restoration of the 1860s Lacasse-Rolfe Farm on Route 106, which has involved the reclaiming of pasture land and the rebuilding of stone walls. The couple also recently planted 1,000 apple trees.

Street with no houses on it (yet) accepted as town road By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — After getting off to a rocky start two weeks ago, the company which created a subdivision off Cotton Hill Road got its roadway formally accepted as a town road last night. Blue Sky Enterprises President Karen Feltham explained to selectmen that the lots off Rowe Farm Road are now in “current use” and will generate land use change tax income for the town as that status is changed. Even though none of the sold ave been sold as of yet, Blue Sky wanted the town to accept the road as a Class V street so it would make them easier to sell. When Feltham’s business partner Howard Warren asked for the same thing at a previous meeting, selectmen got testy when he mentioned that he would take the town to court if they didn’t accept the road. Feltham made no such claims last night. Instead, she explained to the selectmen that there is an inconsistency in the town’s ordinances regarding the definitions of private ways verses public streets. “As a technical matter, there is a zoning issue if

you don’t take the road,” she said. Town Administrator Scott Dunn had recommended Blue Sky sell at least three lots before the town accepts the road because there is no public need to plow a road with no houses and town ordinances allow as many as two houses to be built on a private road. Feltham explained that with the entire parcel under current use, the town gets no real tax revenue. Each lot that sells will generate $8,000 in current use penalty, plus an annual property tax bill. When houses are built, Feltham said the town will get even more tax revenue. Feltham suggested a compromise in that Blue Sky would plow the road for this winter as long as selectmen agree to a date certain to accept the road, which she said will make it easier to sell the lots. “I understand the town doesn’t want to plow a road with no houses,” she said, telling selectmen that she has one lot under contract and another with a right of first refusal. At first, Selectmen John O’Brien and Gun Benavides moved and seconded her compromise proposal see next page

from preceding page but Selectman Chair Kevin Hayes — who was not at the first meeting with Blue Sky and who is the board’s representative to the Planning Board — said he wanted to accept it now as opposed to the spring. He noted the road wasn’t very long and would simply be incorporated into a plow driver’s route during a snow storm. “In the big spoke of things, it won’t cost us much,” Hayes said. “I want the town to take the road now,” Hayes said. “It’s the right thing to do.” Agreeing with him was Department of Public Works Director Sheldon Morgan, who said the road was built perfectly, the driveway cuts have been preplanned with his assistance and he would like
to have control over the road so he knows it is being maintained properly. Sheldon also said the town would get a little more state highway money if it accepts it as public. After listening to all sides, selectmen made their vote unanimous to accept the road as a town street last night. In other business, selectmen also announced that the town will get $18,222 in Federal Disaster Aid for a snow storm last March. In addition, the United States Tennis Association gave the town a $1,320 grant to be applied toward resurfacing the tennis courts. Selectmen accepted the gift and reworked their previous approval of the resurfacing to reflect the grant.
agreement within 60 days of the first offer. The Lakemont Cooperative matched the $10 million offer. The statute grants the cooperative “a reasonable time beyond the 60-day period, if necessary, to obtain financing for the purchase” and, in the meantime, requires the owners to bargain in good faith with the cooperative. Representing the Mooneys, attorney John Giere, told the court that polling of residents indicated that a significant majority favored commercial over cooperative ownership of the park. Since the law is intended to safeguard the interests of tenants of the park, he argued that approving the sale to Maple Holding and Redevelopment, LLC would serve their best interests of the residents in keeping with the purpose of the law. At the same time, he asked the court to rule that the Mooneys should not be liable to penalties, amounting to $10,000 or 10 percent of the sale price whichever is greater, for failing to bargain in good faith.

from preceding page the newly-formed cooperative, rejected Geire’s presumption that the Mooneys, as the owners of the park, were in any position to represent the interests of its residents. He dismissed the results of the polls, which were taken by the Mooneys and their representatives, claiming that they were not conducted in a “fair” manner and suggesting that residents were subject to intimidation. In any event, Shepherd reminded the court that the statute does not prescribe that the cooperative include a specific number or percentage of residents to make an offer and pursue the transaction. Shepherd told the court that the cooperative had not only presented a purchase and sales agreement but also agreed to pay a $100,000 deposit once the Mooneys signed the agreement. By refusing to sign
the purchase and sales agreement, he claimed, the Mooneys have wrongfully refused to consider the cooperative’s offer and failed to negotiate in good faith. Moreover, he said that the Mooneys have withheld the financial information the cooperative requires to proceed with its due diligence. Since the statute speaks for itself and governs the process, Shepherd concluded that there is no reason for the court to intervene, let alone to waive money penalties if the Mooneys persist in refusing to bargain in good faith with the cooperative. Meanwhile, residents opposed to a sale to the cooperative have incorporated as the Briarcrest Estates Home Owners Association, which this week retained attorney Phil McLaughlin to represent their interests before the court. — Michael Kitch
HORSE from page one “Though parts of the state saw frost last night, we are not through with the mosquito season yet,” said Dr. José Montero, Public Health Director at DHHS. “There are still mosquitoes around and we are urging residents to continue to take precautions against mosquito bites including using a repellent.” So far this season New Hampshire’s Public Health Lab has tested 5,174 batches of mosquitoes. Of those, 14 have tested positive for WNV and 20 tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE). One person was also diagnosed with WNV, and three
other horses were found positive for EEE earlier in the season. Symptoms of WNV disease often appear 4 to 10 days after being bitten. If you or someone you know is experiencing flu-like symptoms, including fever and headache, contact your local medical provider. Questions about EEE and WNV can be answered by calling the toll free EEE/West Nile Virus information line at 1-866-273-6453. You can also find extensive information about both diseases online at www.dhhs.nh.gov/dphs/cdcs/arboviral/index.htm.
GILFORD from page one club last during the summer of 2012, he had to answer 14 questions posed by selectmen and the three questions that Dunn said weren’t answered to his satisfaction were included in the first explanation. Bownes said he only received Dunn’s questions earlier in the day and hadn’t yet had a chance to reply in writing, even though he contends his Drew and Lyons have answered the question. “You’ve heard it before,” Bownes said. It’s been a long and winding road for Drew to reopen the building since the raid on Mardi Gras North, which was leased to a separate business in which Drew had no active participation. Initially, Drew had to repair the damage done to the inside of his building by members of two SWAT Teams who conducted the raid with the N.H. Drug Task Force and the Gilford Police. Holes were smashed in walls and locked coolers and a safe were forcibly opened even though the manager at the time said she offered keys for the locks. The video security system was ripped out and all of the operating cash was seized by the N.H. State Police. Although the owners of the Mardi Gras vacated the building, it was Drew who had to face the N.H.
Liquor Commission that, after a three-day hearing, revoked his license for three days for three separate offenses of over-serving one customer, of serving a drink to a dancer who was working, and of giving away a free drink. He was exonerated of the most serious charge of allowing his building to be used for criminal activity. Drew fixed the damage and upgraded the inside to meet the Fire Department and code enforcement requirements and reopened in late July of 2012. He closed the club in September and has remained closed for all of 2013 — even though he had a valid license to operate, without exotic dancing. Bownes said he hopes the exotic dancing matter will be placed on the selectman’s agenda in November and said he is prepared to address their three questions as well as the First Amendment and other concerns about exotic dancing. He also said he would respond to the three questions in writing before November and will send copies individually to all three selectmen. In a separate action, the board also voted unanimously to allow the Lakes Region Cafe and Tavern sell alcohol as soon as the N.H. Liquor Commission see next page

Red Sox wait for an ALCS opponent BOSTON (AP) — Shane Victorino was hit by one pitch in the right arm and another in the ribs. That brought the total to four in four playoff games for the Red Sox outfielder who was plunked more than anyone else in the AL in the regular season. “Any way to get on base,” said Victorino, who also beat out an infield single to drive in the go-ahead run on Tuesday night in Boston’s 3-1, AL division series-clinching victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. “Do I want to get hit? No. But whatever it takes,” said Victorino, who combined with leadoff hitter Jacoby Ellsbury to reach base a combined five times in the game. “Teams that win World Series, when the No. 1 and 2 guys are getting on, doing what they need to do, that’s how you do it. ... Whatever it takes to get on base.” Victorino will have plenty of time to rest his aching body after the Red Sox eliminated the Rays in four games to advance to the AL championship series. Boston will play the winner of Thursday night’s game between the Oakland Athletics and Detroit Tigers.

Red Sox three days off to rest and line up their pitching rotation. Boston will have played four games in 12 days by then, and really only four meaningful games in three weeks since clinching the AL East on Sept. 20. “We just knew that every part of us wanted to finish it here,” said Boston starter Jake Peavy, who pitched 5 2-3 scoreless innings in the clincher. “We didn’t want to go back (for Game 5 at Fenway Park) and get David Price again. It’s just outstanding the way we came together as a group and find a way to get it done.” With the time off, Jon Lester will be available to start Game 1 on Saturday on seven days’ rest. Lester could then start Game 5 on regular rest, if necessary, or the Red Sox could turn to Ryan Dempster or Felix Doubront, who were in the bullpen for the best-of-five ALDS. The other starters — in the ALDS it was John Lackey, followed by Clay Buchholz and Jake Peavy — would also have a week of rest, or the time off could give manager John Farrell a chance to move things around without using anyone on short rest. It could depend on whether the Red Sox play Oakland or Detroit, Farrell said. Lackey started a home game in the ALDS because he was a better pitcher at Fenway Park in the regular season. But he has a strong record in Oakland as well, going 9-5 with a 2.83 ERA there in 18 career starts. “Those are all the normal things we’ll take into this,” Farrell said on his radio show on WEEI-FM. “I think every guy threw the ball as expected in the games in which they started. It’s not like someone came out of an outing that we’ve got to take a look at the performance.”

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event planned in Laconia on October 20 LACONIA — Greater Lakes Region residents are needed to help change the course of breast cancer forever. The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer is hosting a 3.5 mile non-competitive fundraising walk, with a five mile option, on Sunday, October 20 at 10 a.m.. The walk will begin at Opechee Park in Laconia, and will help the Society do the most for people with breast cancer today to end the disease tomorrow. Making Strides walks in nearly 300 communities nationwide, help to raise$60 million dollars for the American Cancer Society each year to save lives from breast cancer. The dollars raised fund groundbreaking research to find, prevent, treat, and cure breast cancer; ensure access to mammograms for women who need them; and provide free resources and support
to the one in two newly diagnosed women who turn to the Society for help and support, including transportation and lodging during treatment. “Making Strides Against Breast Cancer unites us to walk together as the most powerful force to end breast cancer,” said Erinn Drouin, American Cancer Society staff partner for the Greater Lakes Region “The progress we are making is remarkable, but we need volunteers to help us finish the fight.” Sponsors of this year’s Greater Lakes Region Making Strides event include: Meredith Village Savings Bank. For more information call 1-800227-2345, email erinn.drouin@cancer. org or visit www.makingstrideswalk/ laconianh
from preceding page of volunteers. Currently, there are about 400 everyday heroes who voluntarily advocate for kids and youth throughout the state with CASA. These 400 volunteers are able to meet the need of about 80% of the children and youth who have been abused Training is led by CASA supervisors as well as a local family law attorney, social worker and foster parent, and covers a wide array of topics to best prepare each advocate for the child or sibling group they choose to work with. Once trained, CASA volunteers are appointed a staff supervisor who is available to support them in court and for all questions, concerns and assistance they need throughout the process. Volunteers do not need a legal or social work background. They do need to be 21 years of age, have a high school diploma, ability to attend
court hearings approximately every three months, the time to meet with the child once a month and the time to talk with various people involved in the child’s life. Transportation and computer skills are essential. Volunteers are expected to commit to the length of time that it takes for a safe, permanent plan to be established for the child or youth. While this amount of time can vary widely, the average length of a case is 22 months. CASA volunteers become the expert on the child, represent their best interests by making independent and objective recommendations and really make a difference to a child or youth in need. To be eligible to take the training an application must be completed along with various background checks and an interview. Applications and further information can be found at www.casanh.org or contact Jen at 603-237-8411 or via email to jbuteau@casanh.org .

PLYMOUTH — It’s early October, 1892, and the village of Plymouth N.H., is winding down after a busy fall day. As the autumn light fades and breeze turns cooler, a man steps out of the rear door of his house on Summer Street, walking toward an adjoining barn, and without breaking stride, he throws away a dish he had just broken in the kitchen. Just below him, the Main Street is quiet, except for the occasional clatter of horses’ hooves, while the dim

yellow glow of kerosene lamps in the windows of neighboring houses provides a counterpoint to the gathering dusk. It’s a scene repeated countless times over dozens of decades in Plymouth; but that one act of discarding trash will ultimately produce an exciting and transformative moment for a Plymouth State University student. Now, nearly 120 years later, students in David Starbuck’s Intro to Archaeology class are digging behind the Holmes House–and Hannah Dutton’s eyes widen as her trowel delicately scoops up a tiny shard of a broken plate, seeing the light of day more than a century after it was thrown away. “I really like feeling connected to history, this came from a different time, a simpler time, and it hasn’t been touched since it was thrown away, which is really cool,” said Dutton. A first-year Anthropology major from Merrimac. Dutton says the dig is galvanizing her career choice. “This makes me more excited and solidifies what I want to be doing–I definitely want to keep going with this in the future.” According to Professor Starbuck, Holmes House pre-dates any of Plymouth State University’s academic predecessors by nearly three decades, and the grounds are a prime spot for unearthing artifacts of life before any modern conveniences, like rubbish collection. “We’re digging on the east side of Holmes House, which has always been the backyard of the home and adjacent barn,” said Starbuck. “Right behind the rear doors of dwellings is where you find the most artifacts. There are nails from the house, pieces of pottery, buttons and buckles, tobacco pipes, pieces of butchered bone. For the folks who lived in the Holmes House in the 19th century, their lives are reflected all through their backyard in their trash, and the students are helping tell that story. Real archaeology starts with these basic skills in the field. This is real archaeology and it’s on their own campus.”

7th Old Ways Days Oct. 19-20 in Canterbury CANTERBURY — Dave and Anne Emerson are planning for the 7th annual Old Ways Days, October 19-20 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Old Ways Traditions, 418 Shaker Road, Canterbury. Old Ways Traditions is part of the Ham Farm which was started by Joseph Ham, one of ten children of a Portsmouth ship carpenter. In 1785, 24 year old Joseph paid the first taxes on the 100 acre farm. This year Dave and Kevin Fife, master stone wall builder, will reintroduce farm tours, “The Stone Walls Tell the Story of the Farm,” 2 p.m.. both days. The farm has about every type of stone wall there is, and they all have something to tell us. Jessica Abbate and her large, strong, friendly pack goats (they can carry quite a load) will accompany the tour. They will also lead a walk on the trails at 11 a.m. Weekend activities will involve visitors with early ways of work. The corn sheller will be working with the corn grinder, as well as the bean sheller and winnower. People are urged to bring their dry beans and corn. A crab (a portable capstan) is probably the only one on display and working in the state. It pulls a freight wagon, but was used to move buildings and ships. Tools for Kids provides the opportunity to discover how easy it can be to use traditional tools such as hand drills, bit braces, several types of saws, spoke shaves with shaving horses and early laundry equipment. There will be at least two steam engines running the lathe and, for the first time, an antique planer. New blacksmith this year is, Zach Archambeault, who says “Blacksmithing has been my passion for a number of years, and in the Summer of 2012, I stepped away from engineering medical devices to be able to chase the iron and work at the forge full-time. Since then I have been demonstrating at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, creating ironwork using traditional tools, techniques and thrift to bring the craft into the contemporary lifestyle, and sharing the love of traditional designs with others.” Music will be by Homefolks Saturday at noon.

Chinese woodcuts exhibited at PSU through Dec. 20 PLYMOUTH — Lamson Library at Plymouth State University will present an exhibition of Chinese woodcuts from the folio Woodcuts of New China and Frans Masereel’s folio, China Memories through December 20 at the Library on Highland Street in Plymouth. David A. Beronä, dean of library and academic support services at Plymouth State, curated the exhibition. Beronä explains that the Chinese People’s Association for Foreign Cultural Relations invited Masereel, a Belgian artist and pioneer of the woodcut novel, to China in 1958. Woodcut novels were wordless books of woodcuts that focused on the social ills in Europe during the early twentieth century. During his visit, Masereel discovered that his woodcut novels, not bound by a language barrier, had been widely distributed across China. Along with the influence of the great writer, Lu Xun, Masereel’s woodcuts served as an inspiration to the Chinese avant-garde movement in the 1930s and mirrored the revolutionary struggle of the Chinese people. This Expressionist style evolved into woodcuts of the mid-20th century that displayed more traditional styles and promoted the ideals of the Chinese Communist Party. The Chinese woodcuts in this exhibition display examples from this later period and Masereel’s impressions in color reproductions and drawings of the Chi-
nese people and countryside following his visit. A recognized scholar on woodcut novels and wordless books, Beronä has written extensively on the genre, and authored the introduction to the latest edition of Masereel’s Passionate Journey: A Vision in Woodcuts, published by Dover Publications. Beronä has also written his own book, Wordless Books: The Original Graphic Novels, which was a First Place winner at the 2009 New York Book Show and was nominated for a Harvey Award. In the book he examines the history of wordless books and the art and influence of pioneers like Masereel, Lynd Ward and Otto Nuckel among others. He says, “ The themes in these wordless books show a powerful relevance to our world today, the significance of wordless stories, and the growing importance of visual narratives in all cultures— both Western and Eastern.” Beronä will give a gallery lecture on this topic at 5:30 p.m. October 24 in conjunction with “Adventures in Chinese Culture,” a lecture series complementing an exhibition of paintings by Chinese brush artist Yang Jukui at the Karl Drerup Art Gallery. His talk will have particular focus on Western artists including Masereel, Käthe Kollwitz and Carl Meffert and their impact on Chinese avant-garde artists and the Modern Woodcut Movement.
BRISTOL — The Newfound Area School District Project PROMISE and Tapply Thompson Community Center Afterschool Programs will take part in a national Lights On celebration on October 17 at Kelley Park in Bristol from 5-7 p.m. The National Afterschool Alliance reports that in
communities today, 15.1 million children take care of themselves after the school day ends. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire learning. Over 7,500 communities will take part in the Lights On event.
ACONIA — With thousands of federal employees going without pay during the government shutdown, Bank of New Hampshire is offering two ways to give furloughed workers a break.
The first program the bank is offering will waive all fees associated with overdrawing a checking account and will increase the overdraft limit to $1,000. It will also waive the $1 non-Bank of New Hampshire ATM charge and will waive all monthly maintenance/service charge fees related to the account. This will provide customers with an opportunity to pay bills and buy food while they are not collecting a paycheck. The second program offers consumer installment loan customers the option to skip their next loan payment. Both programs will run from October 7 through November 12, or until the government shutdown ends. To qualify for the programs, customers need a Bank of New Hampshire account/loan that has been in good standing for at least 60 days, a government ID, and a furlough letter to qualify. “We are monitoring the situation closely and are prepared to help any customer who is facing difficulty as a result of the shutdown,” stated Carolyn Peverly, SVP – Administration for Bank of New Hampshire. “Every situation is different so we ask that if a customer is having difficulty that they call us.” For more information, visit www.BankNH.com or call 1-800-832-0912.

Gilford Methodist Church planning Harvest Supper GILFORD — A local tradition returns to Gilford once again on Saturday, October 19 with the annual Harvest Supper put on by the folks at the Methodist Church on Rt. 11. Th supper features an old fashioned boiled dinner of corned beef and cabbage, baked beans and homemade apple and pumpkin pies. For over 40 years now the members of the congregation have been putting this dinner on every year in the early fall. They work hard to make the fellowship hall come alive with autumn colors and the smells of slow cooked corn beef fill the air. Over 100 pounds of potatoes and carrots are peeled and chopped and 60 pounds of dry beans are sorted, washed, soaked, and cooked overnight in the bean pits behind the church. This meal is a huge production for the church and has become a favorite of the church supper crowd

APPLES
in the Lakes Region. It takes about 50 hardworking people to put on this meal. The members of the church do everything from baking pies to tending the fires that will cook the beans in the large cast iron kettles. It is a three day undertaking and the meal is well worth the effort. Tickets are available by calling the church office at 524-3289 or 528-2369 but they sell out quickly so call early. There are two serving to choose from, one at 5 p.m. and another at 6:30 p.m. Those interested in knowing more about how they make the bean hole beans are more than welcome to come and watch as they are put into the kettles and lowered into the ground on Friday night before the dinner. They go into the holes promptly at 4:30 p.m. so don’t be late and be sure to bring your camera to get pictures of this age old New England tradition.

Meredith Parks & Recreation Department announces fall schedule of programs MEREDITH — The Meredith Parks and Recreation Department will be holding a wide variety of programs and events throughout the fall season. Two of the upcoming programs include a Fall Family Halloween Bash on Saturday, October 26th from 5-8 p.m. and Holiday Craft Fair on Saturday, November
23 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additional weekly events will be offered throughout October and November. For the little ones a playgroup will be offered on every Monday through November 25 from 10 a.m.-noon. Kidz Creations art classes will take place on Wednesdays through November.
LACONIA — About a year ago the Lakes Region’s longest running community theatre of over 40 years tried something new. They produced a show called “Schoolhouse Rock Live, Jr.” where all the actors were under 18 years of age. The show was such a huge hit with the actors, their parents and local audiences that the company decided to create a new division dedicated to encouraging local kids in the performing arts. The new part of the group is called SKYT which stands for St. Car Kids and Youth Theatre and very soon they will be holding auditions for their second production. The musical Seussical was a huge hit on Broadway several years ago and many community theatre groups have produced it as part of their own seasons. SKYT will be producing the junior version of the show in December and will be hosting auditions on October 13 at 4 p.m. at the Methodist Church on Rt. 11A in Gilford. Again, St. Car will be trying something new with Seussical. For this production, the entire show will be both performed and staged by the kids. St. Car president J. Alward explains, “The St. Car board of directors decided that if we really wanted to teach kids about
theatre that we needed to teach them about everything that is involved in getting a show put up. We decided that they needed to learn about costumes, set, lights, directing, choreography, props, publicity, all of it. So for this show the youth will be handling everything aided by an adult mentor who has done that job for us in the past.” Alward’s son Braeden who is 16 is directing the production. “I made my stage debut when I was only 5 months old’, Braeden says. “I have been around the theatre my whole life and really enjoy it. Not only is it fun but I have learned a lot. Both about theatrical stuff but a lot more about working as a team, meeting a deadline and compromise. Activities like this are good for kids. I can see where these experiences will help me in my college life and my career.A lot of my best friends work with St. Car too. This production will be a lot of fun.” Auditions for the show are open to any kid ages 7-18. No stage experience is necessary. Rehearsal will be mostly on weekend afternoons. For more info about the production or St. Car in general, visit the website at Streetcarcompany.com or call Braeden at 520-4653.

initiate a new deal now, you’ll likely be held up while too many people deliberate on the terms. Consider going paperless for a while. A lot can be said for an old-fashioned handshake arrangement. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s as though you dive into a pool of intense, focused energy and go for a nice long swim. When you emerge, instead of being exhausted from the exercise, you’ll feel cleansed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The machinery of your life is humming along unimpeded. This is a fine opportunity to stockpile the product of your efforts. Save something for a rainy day. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 10). You’ll switch instructors or schools and join a new school of thought. Projects and assignments pour in, and you’ll turn it into cash in December. February shows you adding to your family and changing your schedule to accommodate the new addition. January features a commitment, contract or lasting bond. Aquarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 3, 33, 21 and 18.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Vague hopes without a step-by-step plan will stress you out instead of motivating you. Get specific. Your optimism will return when you make a few small, achievable and measurable goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The best talkers don’t always have the best ideas. That’s why you can’t always trust the most charismatic person in the room, even though everyone else is listening to him or her. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel that you have to prove yourself in a crowd of strangers. But the key to winning them over is in dropping that feeling to join your own side. What’s in it for you? CANCER (June 22-July 22). The others are not trying to get in the way of your work, and yet their very presence may be keeping you from concentrating. Make a getaway for an hour, and you’ll accomplish what you couldn’t in three. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to try things before you make a judgment about them. This can be costly, but not today. Someone will foot the bill for you so you don’t have to assume the risk. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Which achievements give you the most pleasure: the tangible ones that come with certificates, money and material evidence, or the intangible ones that happen in a person’s heart? You’ll enjoy a taste of both today. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Surprise, surprise! You are once again caught between two options and trying to make a decision. You of all people make this look graceful. Your light heart refuses to be weighed down by indecision. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Social skills are important, but they are not the only important skills. Quietly tuning in to your own private muse is also a skill. You’re not being antisocial; you’re being pro-you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be entering into new relationships. This is the time to be mindful of pacing. It’s also the moment to really make sure another person has interests that complement your own. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 10, the 283rd day of 2013. There are 82 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 10, 1962, President John F. Kennedy, responding to the thalidomide birth defects crisis, signed an amendment to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requiring pharmaceutical companies to prove that their products were safe and effective prior to marketing. On this date: In 1845, the U.S. Naval Academy was established in Annapolis, Md. In 1911, Chinese revolutionaries launched an uprising which led to the collapse of the Qing (or Manchu) Dynasty and the establishment of the Republic of China. California voters approved Proposition 4, giving women the right to vote, and Proposition 7, which established the initiative process for proposing and enacting new laws. In 1913, the Panama Canal was effectively completed as President Woodrow Wilson sent a signal from the White House by telegraph, setting off explosives that destroyed a section of the Gamboa dike. In 1935, the George Gershwin opera “Porgy and Bess,” featuring an all-black cast, opened on Broadway; it ran for 124 performances. In 1938, Nazi Germany completed its annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland (sooDAYT’-uhn-land). In 1943, Chiang Kai-shek took the oath of office as president of China. In 1957, President Dwight D. Eisenhower apologized to the finance minister of Ghana, Komla Agbeli Gbdemah, after the official was refused seating in a Howard Johnson’s restaurant near Dover, Del. In 1967, the Outer Space Treaty, prohibiting the placing of weapons of mass destruction on the moon or elsewhere in space, entered into force. In 1970, Quebec Labor Minister Pierre Laporte was kidnapped by the Quebec Liberation Front, a militant separatist group. (Laporte’s body was found a week later.) Fiji became independent after nearly a century of British rule. In 1973, Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, accused of accepting bribes, pleaded no contest to one count of federal income tax evasion, and resigned his office. In 1982, Father Maximilian Kolbe, who died in the Auschwitz Nazi concentration camp, was canonized by Pope John Paul II. In 1985, U.S. fighter jets forced an Egyptian plane carrying the hijackers of the Italian cruise ship Achille Lauro to land in Italy, where the gunmen were taken into custody. Ten years ago: Iranian writer and activist Shirin Ebadi won the Nobel Peace Prize. Five years ago: Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson announced the government had decided to go forward with a plan to buy a part ownership in a broad array of American banks in response to the financial meltdown. One year ago: President Barack Obama conceded he did poorly the previous week in his first debate with Republican rival Mitt Romney, telling ABC he “had a bad night.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Male rape is a subject that is seldom mentioned. A close and dear male friend (in his late 40s) was severely raped twice. He was kidnapped from his residence, drugged, sodomized and left naked on the first occasion, and then his residence was broken into, and he was tied up and raped a second time. The general public may think this is rare and unusual. Not as much as you’d believe. After the attacks, my friend was examined in a hospital, and a rape kit was done. He then began attending support groups sponsored by different church organizations. He was surprised to learn that hundreds of other men have undergone similar experiences. My friend later saw one of the perpetrators shopping in a well-known store and immediately called his local investigating officer. The officer told him, “He has the right to shop in that store just as you do.” The local authorities have no sympathy for male rape. The FBI has a division to cover violent crimes, but they mainly focus on female rape. Somehow, male rape is an untouchable subject. I am writing you to ask that you refer victims of such crimes to a protection agency that will go to bat for them. Will you publish this letter to generate responses for other victims? This sort of crime needs to be explored, publicized, exposed by news agencies and brought to the attention of someone who cares. -- California Dear California: It is estimated that 10 percent of all sexual assault victims are male. And while that is a lower number than for women, it is still considerable, and the victims should receive the same respect from the authorities. All rape victims, male or female, can find support through RAINN (rainn.org) or by calling their hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (ohl.rainn.org/ online). For advocacy in bringing this subject to the attention of the public, please contact MaleSurvivor.org.
Dear Annie: I have been hurt many times by men in my life. I am now ready to find one good man to love forever. I’ve been looking online, and a man on one site caught my attention with his looks and his profile. The problem is, he doesn’t seem to be checking his emails. Do you know how I could find him? I listed what little information I had on Craigslist, hoping someone would recognize him, but no luck. This might be my lost love. Do you have any suggestions for finding him? -- Betty Dear Betty: It is quite possible this man isn’t responding to your emails because he is not interested. You are dangerously close to being a stalker. Please stop searching for this particular guy -- or any “lost love,” which is too great an expectation to place on someone. Consider other men who might have more potential if you back off and give them time to get to know you. Dear Annie: I had to weigh in on the letter from “Joe NotSo-Cool,” who asked whether he should travel in Europe for a while or be a “hardworking loser in a loser job.” That phrase told me that what might be necessary for Joe to achieve his desired goals is an attitude adjustment. The millions of low paying and less than glamorous jobs being done by Americans throughout the country are not “loser jobs.” They are an integral part of our economy and are being done by honest, hardworking people to the best of their ability. There is dignity in this, period. If Joe took one of these entry-level “loser jobs” in his field, he might eventually achieve his dream. This is what happened with me. I started on the lowest rung possible in my field, and now I have a position I could only dream about. I am set up perfectly in my career because I worked hard and took pride in the job I was doing. -- Been There in Hawaii
