Sanbornton will take long look at privatizing public works By GAil oBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — At the request of one selectman and two members of the municipal Budget Committee, the Selectboard has created a committee to see if the town should
privatize the highway portion of Department of Public Works. The committee, whose tentative members are scheduled to meet with selectmen today, is tasked with exploring other towns that have privatized or subcontracted their road work
to private contractors and to see if the town could realize any savings. “It looks like Sanbornton could save between $500,000 and $700,000,” said selectman Dave Nickerson. “That’s an awful lot of money.”
Budget Committee Chair Earl Leighton said he is in full support of examining the possibilities. Leighton said the Department of Public Works operating budget is around $1 million, see dPw page 8
Much of the money would be spent installing sprinklers & air handling units in older portions of LHS campus; operating budget will be reduced to cover

LACONIA — With one dissenter, the City Council last night gave the School District a green light to pursue a $1,828,000 loan bearing no interest to fund improvements and renovations at what School Superintendent Terri Forsten called “our beloved Laconia High School.” Laconia was the only school district in the state to express interest in the Qualified Zone Academy see QZaB page 7

Hiding in a Pleasant St. barn
125-year-old grand drape from Laconia’s Moulton Opera House discovered in good condition By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — It was the kind of experience historians dream of: on May 14, on the hot and dusty third floor of an old barn on Pleasant Street, Laconia Historical and Museum Society’s Executive Director Brenda Polidoro and board member Warren Huse, joined by Christine Hadsel,

Within a few revolutions of the roll, the trio realized that the rumor was true.

Credit rating agency puts U.S. on negative watch
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Fitch credit rating agency has warned that it is reviewing the U.S. government’s AAA credit rating for a possible downgrade, citing the impasse in Washington that has raised the threat of a default on the nation’s debt. Fitch placed the U.S. credit rating on negative watch Tuesday, a step that would precede an actual downgrade. The agency said it expects to conclude its review within six months. The announcement comes as House and Senate leaders face a Thursday deadline to raise the nation’s $16.7 trillion borrowing limit. Fitch says it expects the debt limit to be raised soon. But it adds, “the political brinkmanship and reduced financing flexibility could increase the risk of a U.S. default.” A Treasury Department spokesman said the announcement “reflects the urgency with which Congress should act to remove the threat of default see CREDIT page 10

Ball back in Senate’s court after House bid collapses WASHINGTON (AP) — Time growing desperately short, Senate leaders took command of efforts to avert a Treasury default and end the partial government shutdown Tuesday night after a last big attempt by House Republicans abruptly collapsed. Aides to both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, expressed revived optimism about chances for a swift agreement — by Wednesday at the latest — that could pass both houses. Their efforts toward a bipartisan resolution had seemed likely to bear fruit a day earlier before House conservative were given a last-minute chance for their version.
As hours ticked down toward Thursday’s Treasury deadline, the likeliest compromise included renewed authority for the Treasury to borrow through early February and the government to reopen at least until mid-January. By all accounts, though, an end seems near for the impasse that has once again exposed a government so divided that it sometimes borders on dysfunction. Though the House failed to muster sufficient support for a conservatives-only bill in the GOP-majority chamber on Tuesday, enough Republicans there seem likely to join House Democrats to approve a bipartisan version if it can be approved by the
Senate and sent to them. There was no indication Tuesday night of the terms of a possible deal under discussion by Reid and McConnell, although the contours of an agreement had already come into shape on Monday, before what amounted to a daylong detour to give Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans time to craft their solution. As it stood previously, the bipartisan Senate talks were focused on a plan to allow the Treasury to borrow freely through Feb. 7 and reopen the government with enough funds to carry over to mid-January. Congressional negotiators would be appointed to seek a long-term deficit reduction plan.
Fla. girl brags online about Unique ‘b’ helps police crack 2 bullying that lead to suicide year-old Concord graffiti case
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — After 12-year-old Rebecca Sedwick committed suicide last month, one of her tormenters continued to make comments about her online, even bragging about the bullying, a sheriff said Tuesday. The especially callous remark hastened the arrest of a 14-yearold girl and a 12-year-old girl who were primarily responsible for bullying Rebecca, Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd said. They were charged with stalking and
released to their parents. “’Yes, I bullied Rebecca and she killed herself but I don’t give a ...’ and you can add the last word yourself,” the sheriff said, quoting a Facebook post the older girl made Saturday. Police in central Florida said Rebecca was tormented online and at school by as many as 15 girls before she climbed a tower at an abandoned concrete plant and hurled herself to her death Sept. 9. She is one see BULLYING page 9
CONCORD (AP) — A New Hampshire detective combed through hundreds of gun permit applications to find one with a distinctive lowercase “b’’ that led to an arrest in a 2-year-old racist graffiti case, police said Tuesday. Concord police said Raymond Stevens, 42, used a permanent black marker to deface the homes of three African refugee families in September 2011. On one home was scrawled, “The subhumans in this house
are enjoying a free ride.” On another, “Go back to your hell and leave us alone.” Stevens wrote graffiti on a fourth house in the same south Concord neighborhood a year later, according to police. One of the phrases written on that home was, “We cannot coexist with Third World scum.” Honore Murenzi, director of the community group “New American Africans,” said one family targeted in the 2011 see GRAFFITI page 10

DRAPE from page one Street had recently changed hands and that its barn might contain an artifact from the era when Laconia boasted four ornate theaters. However, Polidoro had resisted the urge to check out the tip for herself, worried that she might inadvertently damage the drape. “As curious as I was to see what was rolled up, I didn’t want to do anything wrong,” she said. So, she waited until May, when she could investigate the item under the guidance of Hadsel, executive director of the Vermont-based Curtains Without Borders, a non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of just such cultural artifacts. What they found was a drape in better condition than what anyone could have hoped for, and equally impressive to their expert guest, reported Polidoro. “She said, ‘This is the most exquisite curtain I have ever seen.’” The Moulton Opera House once stood on Main Street, blocks away from the Colonial and Garden theaters and across town from the Lakeport Opera House. Moulton Opera House, built by bank president John C. Moulton and first opened on August 23, 1887, was located on the second and third floors of a brick building that also housed O’Shea’s Department Store. In an era that predated television and the widespread proliferation of automobiles, the city’s residents relied upon the grand theaters for entertainment and to whisk them away from their daily troubles. Recalled Duffy, who frequented the Laconia theaters as a girl, “No matter how bad your situation was, you could go to the theater and escape it.” Each of the theaters would have had a grand drape or curtain, an ornately decorated piece of fabric that would hang in front of the stage’s main curtain, providing theater goers something to look at while they waited for the production to begin. Often, the drapes were painted in the likeness of well-known works of art, and such was the case of the Moulton Opera House drape. Painted in 1886 by Eugene Cramer of Columbia, S. C., the drape is an homage to “Morning on the Nile,” painted by Belgian artist Jacob Jacobs.

However, since Cramer was translating the image to a drape that measured 29 feet wide by 19 feet tall, he had some extra space to fill, and so it appeared to Polidoro that he added some of his own flourishes, such as a boat that could be Noah’s Ark. The fabric of the drape, according to Polidoro, is comprised of four foot sections of heavy cotton, perhaps some linen, sewn together. Cramer used waterbased distemper paint to create the artwork. Apart from some minor fraying of the seams holding the panels together, and some light dirt on the fabric, Polidoro said the drape is remarkably well preserved. Even so, she’ll seek funding, in the way of a state grant, to pay Hadsel’s organization to restore the historic item. Polidoro was grateful to local contractor John Kean, who built a cradle to support the rolled-up drape while it was carefully removed from the barn,

and to Boulia-Gorrell Lumber Company, which volunteered a boom truck and operator to lower it from the third-floor bay door. Sally Veazey, general manager and treasurer for Boulia-Gorrell, said her company agreed without hesitation to assist in the project. “It was such a wonderful item that they found. We were thrilled to be asked, history is an important thing for a town. History is what makes a town what it is.

Jim Hightower
J.P. Morgan gone wild J.P Morgan was recently socked in the wallet by financial regulators, who levied a fine of nearly a billion bucks against the Wall Street baron for massive illegalities. Well, not a fine against John Pierpont Morgan, the man. This 19th century robber baron was born to a great banking fortune and, by hook and crook, leveraged it to become the “King of American Finance.” During the Gilded Age, Morgan cornered U.S. financial markets, gained monopoly ownership of railroads, amassed a vast supply of the nation’s gold and used his investment power to create U.S. Steel and take control of that market. From his earliest days in high finance, Morgan was a hustler who often traded on the shady side. In the Civil War, for example, his family bought his way out of military duty, but he saw another way to serve. Himself, that is. Morgan bought defective rifles for $3.50 each and sold them to a general in the Union Army for $22 each. The rifles blew off soldiers’ thumbs, but Morgan pleaded ignorance, and government investigators graciously absolved the young, wealthy, well-connected financier of any fault. That seems to have set a pattern for his lifetime of antitrust violations, union busting and other over-theedge profiteering practices. He drew numerous official charges — but of course, he never did any jail time. Moving the clock forward, we come to JPMorgan Chase, today’s financial powerhouse bearing J.P.’s name. The bank also inherited his pattern of committing multiple illegalities — and walking away scotfree. Oh sure, the bank was hit with that billion-dollar fine, but that’s hardly devastating to a behemoth that hauled in $6.5 billion in just the previous three months. Besides, note that not a single one of the top bankers who committed gross wrongdoing were charged or even fired — much less sent to jail. Fining banks is not a crime-stopper, for banks don’t commit crimes. Bankers do. And they won’t ever stop if they don’t have to pay for their crimes.
In fact, someone should make a movie about JPM’s honchos and title it: “Bankers Gone Wild!” Not long ago, America’s biggest Wall Street empire was hailed as a paragon of financial integrity. But today it’s a house of crime, currently under investigation for management illegalities by seven federal agencies, several states and two foreign nations. But there’s an additional “crime” taking place, hidden within that billion-dollar fine that regulators levied on the bank for top-level mismanagement, which caused shareholders to lose a whopping $6 billion in a trade scandal last year. Media reports say the bank agreed to pay the fine to settle those charges, but when it’s reported that “the bank” will pony up a billion dollars, who exactly is that? Not the bankers who committed the illegalities, but Chase’s shareholders. Wow, how’s that for a raw deal? The money the bankers lost belonged to shareholders, yet they’re being socked for another billion to cover the bankers’ fine. Imagine if you got burglarized, then were fined for being burglarized! As one law professor said, “It’s not just adding insult to injury, it’s adding injury to injury.” Federal regulators say it’s easier to get bankers to settle a case if they can hand the fine to shareholders, who don’t even get a say in the decision. But going after the bankers, they claim, would require a jury trial — and jurors might not convict. Huh? What kind of bassackwards justice is that? Besides, it’s ridiculous to think that jurors wouldn’t jump at the chance to convict Wall Street banksters. That’s a jury I’d like to serve on. Wouldn’t you? Nail a couple of them, and that’d chill all of their wild finagling. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist.

— LETTERS — Thanks to all who normalized a very special day for Bill Randall To The Daily Sun, On August 4, a benefit supper was held for my husband, Bill Randall. We would like to thank all of you who attended, donated, or were there with us in spirit. The very large crowd of friends and relatives who greeted Bill at the door is testament to the kind of caring support we experienced from the onset of his cancer ordeal. You, who sat with him through the afternoon discussing everything from construction talk to the latest happenings at Skelley’s and Dunkin’ Donuts, normalized his day for him at a time when nothing was normal. Thank you
so much for that emotional support. And your very generous donations carried us through as we traveled a road no one wants to take. We would especially like to thank Keith Taylor who put together this event, and his wonderfully generous family who worked so hard to help him carry it through. Once again we offer our thanks to a community of very caring people. May you all be blessed in your own lives. With gratitude, Celia, Becky, Gina & Beth Randall Moultonborough
LETTERS Obamacare creates incentive for employers to keep hours below 30 To The Daily Sun, A recent letter from Bernadette Loesch tries to claim that the criticism of Obamacare is unfounded and unsubstantiated. In this letter she tells of the Walt Disney Company offering full-time employment to 427 parttime employees and how this proves that the claims of Obamacare hurting jobs is “not borne out by reality”. She then states how a recent survey of chief financial officers shows that fulltime jobs are going to increase by 2 percent over the next year proves how these claims are false. Bernadette’s claims are the easiest to disprove with some simple research. In fact Members of Congress, who have been exempted from the law by the president and Secretary Sebilius, wrote the law that specifically exempts all congressional staff so they can receive taxpayer subsidies to pay for their private health insurance. Congressional members and their staff responded in a survey that they don’t want Obamacare. James Hoffa, president of the Teamsters Union; Joseph Hansen, president of the UFCW; and D. Taylor, president of Unite-Here recently sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid complaining about Obamacare where they said the unintended consequences of the ACA are severe. Perverse incentives are already creating nightmare scenarios: “First, the law creates an incentive for employers to keep employees’ work hours below 30 hours a week. Numerous employers have begun to cut workers’ hours to avoid this obligation, and many of them are doing so openly. The impact is two-fold: fewer hours means less pay while also losing our current health benefits. Second, millions of Americans are covered by non-profit health insurance plans like the ones in which most of our members participate. Under the ACA ..., our employees will be treated differently and not be eligible for subsidies afforded other citizens. As such, many employees will be relegated to second-class status and shut out of the help the law offers to for-profit insurance plans. Even though non-profit plans like ours won’t receive the same subsidies as for-profit plans, they’ll be
taxed to pay for those subsidies. Taken together, these restrictions will make non-profit plans like ours unsustainable, and will undermine the healthcare market of viable alternatives to the big health insurance companies. They finish the letter by stating “Time is running out: Congress wrote this law; we voted for you. We have a problem; you need to fix it.” Add to this that there are over 300 employers that have reported that they have eliminated jobs, moved employees from full-time to part-time or have simply cut hours because of Obamacare. Most of the employers are public entities such as Houston County, Alabama government; Arizona State University; Community College System of N.H.; Akron, Ohio city government; Youngstown and Upper Arlington School Districts in Ohio; Boone Community School District in Illinois; and the West Perry School District in Pennsylvania. This list includes many other types of employers such as Walmart Stores, Inc.; the Lawrence & Memorial Hospital in Connecticut; the Cleveland Clinic; Sea World Entertainment, Inc.; Waldblum’s Supermarket; Circle K; North Shore University Health System; and Pillar Hotels and Resorts. In fact, Reuters and the Washington Free Beacon recently had stories explaining how the program that expands health insurance to over 25 million people doesn’t mean these people will receive health care. According to their stories there are over a dozen hospitals that are cutting jobs and reducing patient care and/or services offered because of Obamacare. According to reports from the U.S. Department of Labor there are statistics that show the number of new unemployment claims each month are mostly from full-time jobs the reported unemployment percentage continues to drop. This is because of an increase in part-time jobs, approximately 400,000 per month, and moving people from the unemployed category to the not-in-the-labor-force category. Labor statistics show that the Labor Participation Rate, which is the percentage of eligible workers actually working, is 63.2 percent. This see next page

Let mothballed, nuc-powered aircraft carrier generate power for us To The Daily Sun, Next month the U.S. Navy is going to launch a new aircraft carrier. The USS Gerald R. Ford will join the fleet of ten other super carriers. The USS John F. Kennedy is under construction and is scheduled to be launched in 2020. The USS Gerald R. Ford cost 12.3 billion dollars to build. Add to that cost 100 or so of the latetest aircraft, the fleet of smaller ships that service, resupply, and protect, and 20,000 or so sailors to run the whole show. Meanwhile sitting in the Norfolk Virginia Navy Yard sits the USS Enterprise. She was the first of the big nuclear powered supper carriers. She has been recently decommissioned and the plan right now is for her to have the reactors and associated equipment removed then she is to be towed to the Florida Keys and sunk to create a reef for marine life. Now I am not an naval expert but I have to question the sanity of all this.
Could the Enterprise have been overhauled to upgrade her systems? Do we really need 12 aircraft carriers? Is all this tax money being spent just to create jobs in the shipbuilding industry? I have a better idea for the Enterprise. My background is in the power plant industry and I have been doing some digging. The Enterprise has four reactors that can make enough steam to run a turbine generator built on her deck and produce as much electrical power as Seabrook. The cost of doing this would be a small fraction of what it cost to build that. She could be anchored off the coast where nobody has to have it in their backyard and the power supplied to the northeast grid would do away with the need to build the Northern Pass. As for evacuation in case of an emergency you just tow it out to sea. Hey you people in Washington can you hear me? Gordon Blais Meredith
from preceding page is the lowest rate since Jimmy Carter was president. Labor Department surveys to employers show that the high cost of Obamacare is the driving factor for these statistics. Bernadette states that “the American
public need to look behind the headlines and learn what’s really happening for the American workforce”. Unfortunately she doesn’t follow her own advice. Greg Knytych Meredith

LACONIA — The City Council last night referred a recommendation of the Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District Advisory Board to borrow $1.55 million to its Finance and Public Works committees for further review. A series of projects would be financed by the borrowing. Speaking for the committee, Kevin Dunleavy, director of parks and recreation, told the council that “a lot of thought has gone into these (project) priorities,” adding that “all will help the economic development of downtown as a whole. The committee recommends investing $275,000 to improve the gateway to downtown at the Main Street Bridge, $400,000 to extend the WOW Trail between Main Street and Fair Street, $25,000 to add signage and kiosks to the riverwalk and WOW Trail, $181,000 to connect the Main Street Bridge to the riverwalk at the Landmark Inn, $121,800 to extend the riverwalk through the Walgreen’s property, $200,000 to create a pocket park where Water Street joins Pleasant Street and $300,000 to carry the riverwalk from behind the old police station up to the Church Street bridge. Dunleavy said that the committee recommends borrowing $1,550,000 against the annual revenue to the TIF account at an estimated interest rate of 4.249 percent over 20 years to fund the projects. He said that the TIF account has a current balance of $311,353 and projected revenue of $173,687 in 2014 and an additional amount each year thereafter for a total of $4,250,212 during the next 20 years. When the debt is retired, assuming no further borrowing, the TIF fund would be left with a balance of $2,080,123. City Manager Scott Myers told the councilor that the revenue coming in to the TIF fund is sufficient to service the proposed debt and, within a reasonable time, support another borrowing. “I’d like to leave a little time to digest this,” said Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the Finance
Committee, calling for “more dialogue about priorities.” He said the council should consider “what might be some other things attract new businesses to the downtown. We want to make sure,” he continued, “we’ve thought about things that might come up.” Dunleavy said that while he understood and encouraged dialogue “we want to get the ball rolling and complete the projects and reap the benefits.” Lipman replied that he was not seeking to delay the projects, but only to weigh the priorities. However, Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) wondered why the pocket park where Water Street joins Pleasant Street was included when, she recalled, the council rejected the project at an earlier meeting. Lipman appeared to share her memory. Baer also questioned spending $400,000 on a section of the WOW Trail, which prompted Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2) to remind her that phase one of the trail was built largely with private funds and the volunteer fundraising efforts continue. “We’re helping those who help themselves,” he said. The Finance and Public Works committees, together with the Downtown TIF Advisory Board, will review the recommendations and report to the City Council. Tax increment financing allows municipalities to delineate TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to finance public improvements by either paying cash or servicing borrowings, within that district. There are two TIF districts in the city, one downtown and another in Lakeport, and a third under consideration at The Weirs. The boundaries of the downtown TIF district enclose an area roughly ringed by Fair Street, New Salem Street, Church Street, Union Avenue and Court Street. The district included 287 properties spread over 145 acres, which together represented a total assessed value of more than $70-million when the district was established in 2004.

55 Canal Street • Laconia, NH 603-524-2500 MORTGAGEE’S NOTICE OF FORECLOSURE SALE
Lily’s 15th birthday observed by friends & family Remembering Lily. A temporary memorial was set up on the sidewalk of the Messer Street Bridge in Laconia to mark what would have been the 15th birthday of Lilyanna Johnson yesterday. A candlelight vigil was held Monday night at the bridge by friends and family members for Lily, who died April 19 at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon after being struck by a car as she and her friend, Allyssa Miner were walking at the same location. Miner was seriously injured but survived the accident. A 52-year-old Laconia woman faces charges of negligent homicide and manslaughter in connection with the accident.

QZAB from page one Bond, or QZAB, which is awarded by the federal government and administered by the New Hampshire Department of Education. To qualify more than 35-percent of the students enrolled in the district must be eligible for free or reduced lunch, a threshold Laconia, at 53 percent, easily exceeds. In addition, funding requires a local match of 10 percent, creation of a socalled “zone academy” and collaboration with community partners, all criteria the School District can satisfy. Forsten said that the highest priority for the funds is to address health and safety issues by installing a sprinkler system and air handlers as well as removing asbestos and radon gas. If there are sufficient funds remaining the electrical systems in most classrooms would be upgraded, the bleachers in the gymnasium brought up to code, emergency lighting replaced with LED units and the main entrance secured. Forsten said that for 23 years the annual debt service of $78,261, would be drawn from the School District’s operating budget and therefore, would have no impact on the municipal tax cap. Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) reminded Forsten that the School District has been aware of the life-safety issues for some years, but chose not to include them in the renovation of the high school, expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center and construction of new playing fields
completed this year at a cost of $16.8 million. “Some of that $3-million spent on the football field could have been spent on these repairs,” she said. Baer also cautioned that the city will find itself faced bearing the costs of higher retirement contributions, a new county jail and improvements by the Winnipesaukee River Basin Program and suggested that the School District has had its fair share of investment in recent years. But, Baer was the lone councilor to question the borrowing. Councilor Henry Lipman (Ward 3) said that the loan offers the most efficient way of protecting the investment the city has made in the high school. Since the debt would be repaid from the School District’s operating budget, the borrowing “would not diminish any other (city) project.” Lipman was echoed by Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), who reminded his colleagues that the Fire Department expressed concern that parts of the building remain without sprinklers. “We’ve got to sprinkle the rest of the building,” he insisted. Forsten said the application for the QZAB was submitted on October 1 and the City Council must host a public hearing and officially approve the borrowing before the year is out. If the loan is approved, she expects the work would be bid in March, begun in June and completed by September 2014.

In Sanbornton, Ober calls out Nickerson for serial resignations she says he then takes back By Gail OBer
SANBORNTON — Selectmen Karen Ober has called out Selectman Dave Nickerson for resigning during a non-public meeting on September 25 that she was unable to attend. As of yesterday, Nickerson had recanted his resignation and is still a selectman. According to minutes of the meeting, Nickerson apparently sent a RSA 91-A Right To Know request to Chair Guy Giunta — the contents of which led to a non-public session called under RSA 91-A (c) — the portion of the Right-to-Know law that allows for a non-public session if the discussion could effect the reputation of someone who does not sit on that board. During the non-public meeting, Nickerson and Giunta apparently disagreed on the topic leading to Nickerson’s resignation. Minutes made public only indicate the meeting was held to weigh a matter that was discussed on September 4. There were two non-public meeting held on Sept. 4 and minutes of both indicate the board discussed each of two finalists for the position of town finance director. Minutes say the meeting ended without a quorum and without a vote. Upon Ober’s return, she said she heard “through the grapevine” about the meeting and Nickerson’s resignation so she listened to the tape of the entire meeting so she could better understand what happened. In a statement read aloud by Ober of October 2 and entered into the record verbatim, she chastised Nickerson for resigning, saying that she “wanted to point out that this is the sixth time you have resigned and then changed your mind.” She said his frequent resignations appear to occur when he disagrees with either herself or Giunta or both. “It seems like this is happening way more frequently, this behavior,” she continued. Ober said Nickerson’s behavior has affected many board decisions and she was almost happy she was not there on September 25 so the argument couldn’t be blamed on her. She said she was concerned with the
way town employees are being treated and, in her opinion, the role of all the selectmen is to help town employees and department heads become better at what they do. She said she has witnessed over the past two-and one-half years an increasingly hostile attitude by some elected officials to town employees and that it’s wrong. She said Nickerson had told her that the problem was with the department heads so she attended workshop sessions with the Local Government Center and Primex to better understand where the problems were. “Dave, you said I was wrong, that it was only for department heads. That’s not true,” she said, adding treating employees with respect and dignity begins at the top, with selectmen, and they are the ones who must set the example. “Our situation here every Wednesday gets increasingly more volatile... with obviously orchestrated complaints by a lot of ‘wannabe DPW Directors.’” She said she and her husband (former selectman Steve Ober) get phone calls on their private cells from people who didn’t get their private numbers from her and e-mails at their private e-mail accounts again from people to whom she didn’t give her e-mail address, saying someone is putting out information including her family’s private contacts. “This is being done intentionally and it’s deliberate, it’s a set up, and it needs to stop,” she said. Ober went on to say that at this point the selectmen needs to figure out a way “around this insanity” and said she was in favor of having some kind of outside assessment done because she doesn’t think anybody in the town has the skills to (stop the infighting in Sanbornton.) Sanbornton has a town administrator form of government as opposed to a town or city manager type. In the former, all department heads answer to the governing body, in the latter, department heads answer to a town manager who answers to selectmen. “We need to become more effective as a board and we need to conduct town business and we need to work for the best of the town,” Ober said.
DPW from page one plus $400,000 in capital expenses for road paving and reconstruction. He said the department has six full-time employees including the director. “I’m critical of the entire system,” Leighton said, not referring specifically to Sanbornton but to the idea of municipalities having town-operated departments of public works when there are private contractors who would want the work and bid competitively to get it. Leighton also said the system is inefficient and gave the town’s need to replace a 10-year-old dump truck as an example. “I’m driving a 1987 dump truck and it works just fine,” he said. “The director becomes a maestro,” he said, meaning that in his vision of Sanbornton’s future the town would continue to have a DPW director but he or she would act to coordinate private contractors to get the needed
work done. Nickerson said yesterday that, according to data provided by the N.H. Local Government Center and researched by the town administrator, 12 or 13 of the state’s 200 plus communities — including Salsbury, Webster, and Newbury — have subcontracted out their highway maintenance to private companies. He said community’s on that list range in size from 1,000 to 5,000 residents. Sanbornton has about 2,800. In the past 10 or so years since Gene Auger retired as the elected road agent, Sanbornton has had a revolving door of DPW directors — from Ralph Carter who succeeded Auger to Lenny Boudrias who was hired to replace Carter and lasted only a few months to John Hubbard, John Thayer and now Johnny VanTassel, who took over about a year and a half see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 16, 2013— Page 9
DRAPE from page 3 The drape was moved on September 14 and is currently in safe storage awaiting its restoration. Polidoro hopes to ultimately find a place where the drape can be mounted and occasionally displayed for public viewing. If it was fortune that guarded the antique drape for the half-century that it spent in forgotten storage, it was equally lucky that the drape managed to find its way from the theater to the barn. That stroke of luck came in the form of Wayne Fletcher, who 40 years ago was a young man working for Sam Dunn. Dunn, said Fletcher, owned Pheasant Ridge Country Club and “had more money than he knew what to do with.” When it became clear that the building containing Moulton Opera House would be razed in 1970 as part of so-called urban renewal, Dunn successfully bid on the entire contents of the theater and hired Fletcher to lead a crew to clean it out. After lowering the grandiose chandelier, removing the seats and all the other valuable furnishings, they came to the drape. “I can remember going in there as a kid to the theater, and we used to admire it,” said Fletcher, recalling
how he and the other workers lowered the drape to the floor of the stage. “I told the guys, I think this is going to be history. Let’s roll it up and take care of it.” Fletcher contacted Frank Neal, a banker and member of the Pheasant Ridge club, who lived on Pleasant Street. Neal agreed to allow the drape to be stored in his barn. “We just thought, maybe somebody would like to see it. So we rolled it up, put it in the barn and let’s see what happens.” The property changed hands several times, and for all Polidoro knows subsequent owners had no idea that an irreplaceable part of the city’s history was stashed in the barn. When Don Houle, an acquaintance of Fletcher’s bought the buildings and land recently, Fletcher asked him to see if there was a large roll of fabric in the barn’s top floor. Houle offered to donate whatever was in the roll to the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, and so Polidoro was able to view something that no person had seen since the Moulton Opera House was demolished. “That building has been gone since urban renewal,” marveled Polidoro. “Lo and behold, here’s the curtain from that building.”
BULLYING from page 2 of at least a dozen or so suicides in the past three years that were attributed at least in part to cyberbullying. The sheriff said they were still investigating the girls, and trying to decide whether the parents should be charged. “I’m aggravated that the parents aren’t doing what parents should do,” the sheriff
said. “Responsible parents take disciplinary action.” About a year ago, the older girl threatened to fight Rebecca while they were sixth-graders at Crystal Lake Middle School and told her “to drink bleach and die,” the sheriff said. She also convinced the younger girl to bully Rebecca, even though they had been best friends.
from preceding page ago. The director is now appointed by selectmen and not elected by voters — a decision made by voters at an annual town meeting at least seven years ago. Over the same amount of time there has been a constant undercurrent of criticism of the work done by the highway department and its employees, some of which has lead to a high turnover rate and some of which can be attributed to employees and directors being able to earn more money in larger municipalities — a problem that also exists for the Police Department. In that same time span, the town has built a $1-million Department of Public Works building — something Nickerson said could be used as a new fire station, giving the Police Department more room. According to minutes of a meeting held this past summer, three of six employees including the foreman have resigned this year — two citing the abil-
ity to earn more elsewhere and one citing problems with management. As of three weeks ago, the town was seeking to replace a laborer’s position. Selectmen offered a list of seven people they felt should serve on a DPW privatization committee — Jeff Jenkins of the Budget Committee, Bill Whalen, Fire Chief Paul Dexter, Andy Sanborn, retired Finance Director Curt McGee, DPW Director Johnny VanTassel, Mark Thurston, and Ralph Rathjen. Any decision to privatize the DPW must be approved by annual town meeting in May said Leighton and Nickerson, who added the earliest he could foresee anything going to the voters is the town meeting in 2015. Town Administrator Bob Veloski said yesterday he has contacted all of proposed committee members, with the exception of Sanborn and all of the chosen have been invited to attend tonight’s selectman’s meeting that begins a 4:30 p.m.

out eight without a walk in a game that was delayed 17 minutes in the second inning because lights on the stadium towers went out. It was the second 1-0 game in this matchup between the highest-scoring teams in the majors. Dominant pitching has been a running theme throughout these playoffs, which have included four 1-0 scores and seven shutouts in the first 26 games. After rallying from a five-run deficit to even the series in Game 2, Boston came away with a win in Detroit against one of the game’s best pitchers. The Tigers had a chance for their own comeback in the eighth when Austin Jackson drew a one-out walk and Torii Hunter followed with a single. But Cabrera, who failed to reach base for the first time in 32 postseason games for the Tigers, never looked comfortable against Junichi Tazawa, swinging and missing at the first two offerings and eventually chasing an outside pitch for strike three. Fielder looked even more overmatched against Koji Uehara, striking out on three pitches. Uehara also worked the ninth for a save, ensuring that Lackey’s fine performance wouldn’t go to waste.
GRAFFITI from page 2 incidents moved away in fear soon after discovering the graffiti on their home. The other three families are “very excited” about the arrests, he said. “The level of uncertainty no longer exists,” said Murenzi, who said the families, two each from Somalia and Congo, feared a violent attack would follow the graffiti. The big break in the case came after a detective combed through thousands of pages of documents hoping to match the writing on the vandalized homes to someone who had contact with police. Det. Wade Brown looked through more than 1,000 criminal files and complaints generated from the city’s South End between 2009-11 looking for any handwritten documents featuring the distinctive lowercase letter “b’’ written like the number six, along with other distinctive letters and unusual word choices used in the graffiti. When that search came up empty, he turned to
more than 1,500 gun permit applications on file with the Concord police department. In Sept. 2012 he found an application filed by Stevens, who once lived in the neighborhood targeted in the graffiti incidents. “Three telltale “b’s” appeared to be an exact match to the racist messages,” Brown wrote. He said the handwriting similarities were “so striking” that he focused on that application and the man who submitted it. Searches of Stevens’ home, car and the tattoo parlor he owns in Nashua turned up more handwriting samples that were sent to the FBI for analysis. Police also found racist cartoons and writings on his Facebook pages that “were clearly indicative of a white supremacist ideology,” according to a police affidavit. When questioned by police about the racist graffiti, Stevens told them it was “too extreme” for him and denied any involvement.
HARVEST SUPPER
CREDIT from page 2 hanging over the economy.” Fitch is one of the three leading U.S. credit ratings agencies, along with Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s Investors Service. S&P downgraded U.S. long-term debt to “AA+” in August 2011. Fitch said that the Treasury might not be able to prioritize its interest payments on U.S. debt to avoid a default. “It is unclear whether it even has the legal authority to do so,” Fitch said. Many economists expect Treasury to prioritize its payments to stave off default. And Moody’s Investors Service said in an Oct. 7 report that Treasury would continue to make interest payments after the Thursday deadline. A credit rating is an assessment of how able a country or company is to repay the money it’s borrowed. A AAA rating lets companies and governments borrow at super-low rates.

DETROIT (AP) — Once again this October, one run was enough. The Boston Red Sox scored it — and now they lead an AL championship series that seemed to be slipping away last weekend. John Lackey edged Justin Verlander in the latest duel of these pitching-rich playoffs, and Boston’s bullpen shut down Detroit’s big boppers with the game on the line to lift the Red Sox over the Tigers 1-0 Tuesday for a 2-1 advantage in the ALCS. Mike Napoli homered off Verlander in the seventh inning, and Detroit’s best chance to rally fell short in the eighth when Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder struck out with runners at the corners. “This game had the feel it was going to be won or lost on one pitch,” Boston reliever Craig Breslow said. “Lackey kept us in the game. Every inning where he was able to throw up a zero gave us a lift.” Despite three straight gems by their starters, the Tigers suddenly trail in a best-of-seven series they initially appeared to control. Game 4 is Wednesday night at Comerica Park, with Jake Peavy scheduled to start for the Red Sox against Doug Fister. Lacke allowed four hits in 6 2-3 innings, striking

The Fall that Never Happened Staying ahead of the curve isn’t only about safety and security. Many seniors’ lives have changed so that the big house with a gorgeous view and tons of room no longer meets their needs and lifestyle.
W
e’re not talking about an autumn season that never came. These falls refer to things like falling off a step stool, tripping on a rug, slipping on an icy driveway or being upended by the family pet. Falls that don’t have to happen but so often do. These and other accidents and circumstances become increasingly more likely as we age, and at the same time are often preventable. If you’re like most seniors, you’re probably tired of the endless stream of advice and articles about accident prevention from family members, friends, doctors and the general media. You’ll be pleased to know that this is not another article telling you what you already know, or attempting to tell you what to do. “I
find it interesting when younger people give advice to seniors, like ‘be sure to drink lots of water on hot days to avoid getting dehydrated or wear a hat in the winter because we lose a lot of heat from our head, or don’t get up on a step stool because you could fall and hurt yourself’,” said Paul Charlton at the Taylor Community. “Obviously the advice is well intended coming from caring and loving individuals, but the point is that seniors learned these lessons long ago and they taught them to us along the way,” Charlton said. Certainly there are individuals with memory loss for whom such reminders make sense. The majority of retired seniors, however, have heard and know all they need to hear about safety and they may even resist taking certain actions if the advice is relentless. If seniors heeded all the advice from family and friends, they would have given up their driver’s license years ago, gotten rid of their snow shovels, and would have grab bars installed on every wall of the house – not to mention eliminating favorite foods from their diet because they’re “unhealthy”! At the same time, no one would dispute that certain health risks do increase as we age and it would be foolish not to make certain accommodations for health and safety reasons. So the question is this: How does one

balance safety and health with independent living? One of the most important steps seniors can take is to stay in front of the curve, in other words, take steps before they’re necessary. You don’t need to slip and fall in the bathtub before you install grab bars. Just because you can climb a step ladder and reach that top shelf doesn’t mean that it’s a good idea. There’s no reason to shovel a foot of wet snow when there’s help available. Staying ahead of the curve means preventing the fall that never happened, the heart attack that never came, or the hospital stay that never was needed. One key to staying ahead of the curve is retaining ownership of the decisions and steps you take so that you are not only living safer, you’re keeping the independence you want for a lifestyle that meets your wants and needs as opposed to someone else’s. “One of the mistakes I see most often is people waiting too long,” said Charlton. “Whether you’re moving into a retirement community or staying in your own home, be proactive in taking practical steps for a safer, secure, convenient and enjoyable lifestyle. It may not be needed today, but may be in the future and by planning ahead you’ll be prepared.” Part of the dream for many retirees is to have more free time to do the things they want to do, instead of the things they need to do. Charlton points to one of the most common myths about moving to a retirement community. “There’s this mentality that you make changes because you have to. You’re going to make some kind of move when you simply can’t remain in your current living situation”, Charlton said. “That’s too late. Whether your plan is to retrofit your current home, bring in help, or move to a retirement community, waiting too long can mean living in an environment that is not safe or not as enjoyable as other options”. Staying ahead of the curve isn’t only about safety and security. Many seniors’ lives have changed so that the big house with a gorgeous view and tons of room no longer meets their needs and lifestyle. Two and three-story living in a rural location may have been perfect in the past, yet today that home maintenance and remote location may have become more of a chore and inconvenience as well as a hindrance to active socialization. Thinking and planning ahead also has to do with “Plan B”. Let’s say that living on multi-floors in a country setting works perfectly fine today. What if you or your partner are suddenly faced with a situation where stairs aren’t an option? Or you’re no longer able to drive? Waiting until these kind of changes take place before making a decision means that you could be in a situation of having to make changes under increased stress or even in a crisis mode. Stay ahead of the curve. Explore all options and talk to others who have made the kinds of changes talked about here. And take steps sooner rather than later to prepare for and then enjoy retirement living to the fullest and safest.

Live Free Home Health Care nurse does what she does best WEIRS BEACH - Joe Hoffman, was having dizzy spells, he was confused, and was running a consistently low blood pressure. His wife Priscilla, was very concerned because she was worried about a fall, and was having trouble getting answers to Joe’s problems despite two recent trips to the emergency room. “Joe’s primary care physician was away and unavailable” said Priscilla. “The ER doctor did her best but it was all or nothing at all, and I wasn’t satisfied with that.” she concluded. Priscilla contacted LFHHC who assigned a personal care service provider to Joe to visit and care for him at his lovely home on the shore of Lake Winnepausakee. Noticing that Joe’s condition was not improving, a nursing visit was scheduled and Lisa Clark, LPN of LFHHC was assigned. “The original thought was that Joe’s problem was an ear infection,” said Clark. However, after administering antibiotics his dizzy spells continued.” According to Clark, she did a complete review of Joe’s medications and noticed that he was on a Beta Blocker. Realizing that this would certainly contribute to dizziness and low blood pressure, Clark contacted his current attending physician and recommended that the beta blocker be discontinued for two weeks. Within that time period, Joe’s dizziness and tiredness disappeared and his blood pressure increased to an acceptable level, according to Clark. Joe was able to move about his home and area with the risk of a fall greatly reduced. “Lisa
Clark saved Joe’s live! said Priscilla with a smile. Without Lisa and the LFHHC staff we wouldn’t be able to stay here. Joe is so attached to our home here on the lake, that moving to assisted living would only contribute to his downfall. Having Lisa here gives us a break from each other,” said Priscilla with a chuckle. “Joe and Priscilla are a wonderful couple,” said
Clark. “Our nursing visits will continue to ensure the physical and emotional wellbeing not only of Joe but of Priscilla as well.” ABOUT LIVE FREE HOME HEALTH CARE Live Free Home Health Care is a home health care agency.

Celebrate Life with Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice
Andréa R Huertas BSN, CHPN, MBA Hospice Director Central NH VNA & Hospice
C
entral New Hampshire VNA & Hospice will be celebrating Hospice & Palliative Care
Month in November. Often I am asked: What’s the difference between certified hospice care and palliative care? The short answer is that hospice includes palliative care, but palliative care does not always include hospice care. Certified hospice is a benefit of Medicare, Medicaid, and other private insurances that focuses on quality end of life care of the terminally ill patient and their loved ones. Hospice focuses care on the physical, psychological, and spiritual suffering. Hospice is delivered using a team approach including: the patient, family, doctor, nurse, social worker, chaplain, aides, and volunteers. Certified hospice also offers benefits far beyond conventional care as it includes bereavement support for your loved ones prior to and after death has occurred. The impact of the patient’s death does not end with the event itself; for the family, the event may be just the beginning of suffering.
Palliative care on the other hand in our community is a hospital-based consultative service for the patient which focuses on physical and psychosocial symptom management. It too uses a team approach of care to support the patient and family during the course of the hospital stay. Hospice care is provided to the terminally ill patient & family with a life expectancy of six months or less, while palliative is offered at any stage of the disease process and may be offered simultaneously with curative treatment. Hospice care is provided where the patient prefers to stay, usually at home or alternatively wherever the patient resides; while palliative care is typically offered in the hospital setting. Feel free to request or contact Central New Hampshire VNA & Hospice to discuss hospice care…it is never too early to know what is available for your loved one!
Asthma, diabetes and other health conditions increase your flu risks (NAPSI)—The CDC urges the millions of Americans with chronic health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, stroke, or heart or lung disease to get a flu vaccine. A chronic health condition, even if it’s well managed, increases a person’s risk of serious illness from the flu. This could result in a sudden and costly trip to the hospital—or even death. “We have known for years that the flu is a serious disease, especially for people with certain chronic health conditions,” says Dr. Anne Schuchat, Assistant Surgeon General of the U.S. Public Health Service and CDC’s Director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. Last season, nearly 92 percent of adults hospitalized with flu had a long-term health condition, as did about 53 percent of children sent to the hospital. Health conditions that increase the risk of flu-related problems include: • Asthma and chronic lung disease • Brain and central nervous system conditions • Heart disease • Blood disorders • Diabetes, kidney and other endocrine and metabolic disorders • Liver disorders
• Weakened immune system • People under 19 years old and on long-term aspirin therapy • Obesity. The chronic conditions most reported for adults sent to the hospital with flu include heart disease (37 percent), metabolic disorders such as diabetes (36 percent), chronic lung diseases (26 percent) and asthma (21 percent). For children, the most frequent conditions (obesity not included) include asthma (20 percent), brain and nervous system disorders (13 percent) and chronic lung diseases other than asthma (6.3 percent). The flu can also make chronic health conditions worse. For example, people with asthma may be more likely to experi-
ence asthma attacks while they have the flu, and if people with congestive heart failure get sick with the flu, their condition could become even worse. The message is clear: People with chronic health conditions should get a flu shot every season as soon as vaccine is available in their community. This season’s flu vaccine protects against the viruses most likely to cause the flu this year. Flu vaccines have been given for decades. They’re safe and can’t give you the flu. Close family members and caregivers also need to get vaccinated to reduce the risk of spreading the flu to those at high risk. People with chronic conditions should not get the nasal spray.
Is a nursing home the only option?
When someone you love has a health crisis, your first thought is generally how to get them the care and support they need as quickly as possible. Sometimes the stress and urgency of the situation can lead to quick decisions. Health crises in seniors often lead to hospitalization. If the determination is made that the senior cannot return home safely, many families assume that the next step has to be a nursing home. And for many seniors, that step may be appropriate. But it is not always the only option. Andrea ’s mother, Sue, was 79 years old when severe arthritis and dementia landed her in the hospital and a rehab facility. From there, Andrea believed that staying in a nursing home was Sue’s only option. “Because my mom was in a wheelchair and she needed a high level of care, I assumed she had to be in a nursing home. Even as a social worker, I wasn’t aware that assisted living could be an option for someone with her needs.” Sue spent nine months in a nursing home before Andrea heard about Forestview Manor. “From the start, everything about Forestview was different. The level and standard of care are far beyond anything I had seen before. You get the sense that it is a home, and that the staff really care about the Residents and families. I never worry about her when I’m not there, and I know she is well cared-for and loved. The experience has been above and beyond what we ever expected possible.” In fact, when Sue came to Forestview last summer, she was on Hospice, as she was losing weight and declining quickly. Nine months later, she was discharged from Hospice care. “I think where she was, my mom had given up, even with me staying with her every day to make sure she got the care and attention she needed,” says Andrea. “She actually got better after we made the move.” The cost was a big change, too. “When I found out what the cost would be at Forestview, I was astounded. It costs $3,000 less per month than we were paying for the nursing home, and the level of care she is receiving is so far above and beyond what she was getting. And we are able to use her Long Term Care insurance to help with her costs. Moving my mother to Forestview was the best decision I could have made for her. My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.” There are many fine nursing homes, and for some seniors, nursing homes are the appropriate setting for them to receive the care they need. But more and more, families are discovering that a move to a community like Forestview is appropriate—and possible—for loved ones who they feel either will need, or are already in, nursing homes. With a warm, homey feeling, a high standard of care, a dedicated and professional staff, and a much lower cost than nursing home care, Assisted Living communities are turning out to be the right choice for many families. To learn more about whether Forestview Manor might be an option for your loved one, please call (603) 279-3121 today.

Bayley, 96, a longtime resident of Northfield and Tilton, died peacefully, Monday, October 14, 2013 at the Franklin Regional Hospital, with his family at his side, following a period of failing health. He was born in Northfield, September 21, 1917, son of George C. Bayley and Annie (Thomas) Bayley. He attended local schools and was a graduate of the Tilton Preparatory School, class of 1935. He later took courses in business administration at Becker College in Worcester, MA.

Bill was employed with Public Service Company for several years and later opened and operated the former Arch Appliance Center in Tilton for 32 years, retiring in 1982. Bill and his wife Belle enjoyed their retirement traveling as well as their favorite pastime, dancing as often as time permitted. Their passion for MGB British cars brought them much joy participating in shows and touring throughout New England and beyond. He served as a director of the former Citizen’s National Bank in Tilton and was an incorporator of the former Iona Savings Bank in Tilton. Bill served with the Merchant Marines as a purser and later served with the U. S. Army Air Corps in Europe from 1942 until 1946, with the 12th Tactical Air Command as administrative NCO, discharged as a Staff Sergeant. He served in England, France,
OBITUARIES

William F. Randall WOLFEBORO — William Francis Randall, Bill to most, Billy to a few, left us on Monday, September 23, 2013. He died surrounded by the love of his family and some of the many people who called him friend. He was the son of the late Kay and Charlie Randall of Duxbury, Ma., a brother among a family of nine. Bill was a man of few words, but those words were both whimsical and wise in his own way. He practiced a live-and-let-live attitude, and a good friend said recently of him, “I never heard Bill say a bad word about anyone.” A stone mason by trade, Bill leaves his art all around Southeastern Massachusetts and Lake Winnipesaukee in the form of massive stone fireplaces and home facings. Many are signed in his unique way with a surprising shape hidden among the stones—a turtle here, a heart there. For the most part he accomplished his life’s work singlehandedly. Some of the stone chimneys atop the Castle In The Clouds were rebuilt by his hands. Bill’s hobbies can be simply stated: he loved his
family, and he loved his work. Beyond these, his greatest joy was traipsing around the Northern Maine woods calling moose to him purely for the excitement of it (and they came!). Bill’s daughters, Becky Randall of Moultonboro, NH, Gina Randall and Beth Randall of Methuen, Ma, his wife Celia Randall of Wolfeboro/Brookfield, NH, and his family in Southeastern Ma will miss his understated wit and his steadfast presence. His family acknowledges the empty space he leaves among dear friends and co-workers within the construction community around the lake. Calling hours at LordFuneral Home in Wolfeboro, NH will be on Saturday, Oct 19 from 2 to 4 p.m. A memorial Mass will be held on Nov 2, 11 a.m., at St. Anthony’s Church in Sanbornville, NH. All are invited to celebrate a life well-lived. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to: The Lowe Center for Thoracic Oncology, Dana Faber Cancer Institute, 450 Brookline Ave—D1234, Boston, Ma 02215
C. Richard Buckman, 79 PALM HARBOR, Fla. — C. Richard “Dick” Buckman, 79, of Palm Harbor, Fla. passed away on Wednesday, October 9, 2013 surrounded by his loving family. He is survived by his loving wife of 55 years, Joan; a son Jeffrey Richard Buckman and his wife Beth of Warren, Vt. a daughter, Lori Buckman Vonachen and her husband Bill of Framingham, Mass.; 3 grandchildren, Colby, Caroline and Mitch Vonachen; 2 brothers, David Buckman and his wife Leigh of Gilford, N.H. and Don Buckman and his wife Elaine of Clayton, N.C.; and a sister, Marsha Wilder of Manchester, N.H. A longtime resident of Belknap Mountain Road in Gilford, Dick worked in the advertising department at The Laconia Evening Citizen from 1959 to 1994. For three decades he was the highly successful director of that department.
Dick enjoyed many activities throughout his life. He was an avid New England sports fan and relished watching the Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox. His competitive spirit led him to also participate in many sports, including golf, skiing, basketball, and was known as an ‘ace’ tennis player. Dick has a special affinity with animals and always had his beloved ‘Bruno’ by his side. Mostly, he will be remembered for his devilish sense of humor that brought endless fun and laughter to our lives. A Memorial Service with Military Honors will be held at 1 p.m., Monday, October 14, 2013 at Moss Feaster Funeral Home, 2550 Highlands Blvd, N, Palm Harbor, Fl. In lieu of flowers the family requests contributions to Suncoast Hospice or The Pinellas County Humane Society. www.mossfeasterpalmharbor.com
Philip A. Perreault, 93 ROCHESTER — Philip A. Perreault, 93, died Saturday, October 12, 2013, surrounded by his family at his home after a period of failing health. Philip was born in Rochester, NH on December 4, 1919, the son of Joseph and Angeline (Lavallee) Perreault and lived all of his life in Rochester. Prior to his retirement he worked as a machinist at Davidson Instrument Panel Co. He was a member of the Rochester Lodge of Elks # 1393, and a communicant of Holy Rosary Church in Rochester.

He was predeceased by his wife Anita (Gagne) Perreault who died in 2008, and was also predeceased by two brothers Robert Perreault, and Edmond Perreault, his sisters, Marguerite Cooke, Genevieve Blanchette and Florence Mercier.

public understanding about this crisis, but increasing awareness about what we are doing in the Greater Franklin Area to improve the health of our families and children.

sure you can trust the people you’re around, write about your feelings in a journal. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Make sure your work is totally finished before you show it to anyone. Conduct private tests to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Also, do a practice run before you present to the people who matter most. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your generosity is much appreciated, but people don’t like to feel that they are always taking and you are always giving. They want to give back. Be sure to receive well, too. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The work that must be done today would not have been your first choice. And yet, there is a better opportunity to be had here than you might have found in your first choice. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 16). Achievement in business will be a marvelous way to start off your solar return. You’ll be proud, and yet you also give credit to the many supporters on your team and to those who need and use your product. Different kinds of relationships will appeal to you in December. You’ll join family for fun in June. Sagittarius and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 23, 1, 24 and 17.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). As you consider the things that shape your identity these days, you’ll realize that you’re far less concerned with your image than you used to be. Your primary goal matters more to you than what anyone thinks of you. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll be in a position to mediate a battle of sorts. Maybe it’s your grounded Taurus energy, but you’re really good at keeping everyone calm now. You’ll mostly listen, saying only what really must be said. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Many failures occur, and not because of a lack of discipline or talent, but because of a mismatched goal. Ask yourself sincerely whether you’re really suited for the steps required to get to the end destination. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your attention, when you give it fully, is a gift that your loved ones will treasure. It may not seem like they recognize the full value of your attention now, but in time they will. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To make yourself happy, you must first know yourself well enough to predict what will make you happy. Along the way, you’ll mess up a few times and make yourself unhappy instead, but this only serves to deepen your knowledge. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Things you might usually take for granted, like having a way to get from here to there within a certain time frame, will now get your full attention. You’ll realize your own good fortune, and you’ll use it to help someone else. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are deeply loyal to the people who have helped you in the past, so much so that you refuse to see their flaws. But no one is all good or all bad -- a point that is well illustrated in the day’s events. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you believe that you sometimes communicate telepathically with the people you care about? An uncanny coincidence will make you feel mysteriously connected to your loved ones. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t bottle up those feelings -- it’s too much pressure that way. Express yourself. If you’re not

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 16, 2013— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 16, the 289th day of 2013. There are 76 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 16, 1962, President John F. Kennedy was informed by national security adviser McGeorge Bundy that reconnaissance photographs had revealed the presence of missile bases in Cuba. On this date: In 1793, during the French Revolution, Marie Antoinette, the queen of France, was beheaded. In 1859, radical abolitionist John Brown led a group of 21 men in a raid on Harpers Ferry in western Virginia. (Ten of Brown’s men were killed and five escaped. Brown and six followers ended up being captured; all were executed.) In 1901, Booker T. Washington dined at the White House as the guest of President Theodore Roosevelt, whose invitation to the black educator sparked controversy. In 1912, the Boston Red Sox won the World Series, defeating the New York Giants in Game 8, 3-2 (Game 2 had ended in a tie on account of darkness). In 1942, the ballet “Rodeo” (roh-DAY’-oh), with music by Aaron Copland and choreography by Agnes de Mille, premiered at New York’s Metropolitan Opera House. In 1943, Chicago Mayor Edward J. Kelly officially opened the city’s new subway system during a ceremony at the State and Madison street station. In 1952, the Charles Chaplin film “Limelight” premiered in London. In 1972, a twin-engine plane carrying U.S. House Majority Leader Hale Boggs, D-La., and U.S. Rep. Nick Begich, D-Alaska, disappeared while flying over a remote region of Alaska; the aircraft was never found. In 1978, the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church chose Cardinal Karol Wojtyla (voy-TEE’-wah) to be the new pope; he took the name John Paul II. In 1987, a 58-1/2-hour drama in Midland, Texas, ended happily as rescuers freed Jessica McClure, an 18-month-old girl trapped in an abandoned well. In 1991, a deadly shooting rampage took place in Killeen, Texas, as George Hennard opened fire at a Luby’s Cafeteria, killing 23 people before taking his own life. Ten years ago: The U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution aimed at attracting more troops and money to help stabilize Iraq and speed its independence. Five years ago: A volatile Wall Street pulled off another stunning U-turn, transforming a 380point loss for the Dow Jones industrial average into a 401-point gain. One year ago: With national polls showing a dead heat three weeks before Election Day, President Barack Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney met for their second debate. During the town-hall-style encounter in suburban New York, Obama accused Romney of favoring a “one-point plan” to help the rich at the expense of the middle class, while Romney countered by saying “the middle class has been crushed over the last four years.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I have been in a relationship with a wonderful guy for a year. We are in our mid-20s. Both of us are interested in moving abroad in the near future. When we started dating, we just wanted to have fun. I have since graduated and am currently working. He is also a graduate, but has yet to find a job. The problem is, I have begun to really care for him and want to change our status from “just dating” to “in a relationship.” However, he still doesn’t want to take that step. He says it’s because he hasn’t started his career yet. He also thinks we are too young to be thinking about marriage, and I agree with that. I’m not interested in marrying in the next few years, but I do want to be in a relationship with someone for a few years before I start thinking about marriage. This has left me wondering whether I should take it down a notch and enjoy whatever time we have left together, or walk away. -- Confused and Sad Dear Confused: If you’ve been dating for a year, you are already “in a relationship” whether he acknowledges it or not. He believes making it official is akin to a pre-engagement, and he’s not ready for that. If you enjoy being with him, feel free to continue and use the time to “start thinking about marriage.” Relationships don’t come with guarantees. Only time will help you decide. But until there is a commitment in place, we suggest that you not build your choices around his. Do whatever is best for YOU. Dear Annie: Several years ago, I was cut out of the life of a family member I had previously been close to. No explanation, nothing. Suddenly I’m persona non grata. I tried to talk to her and asked what I had done. I told her that if she would just discuss it with me, I would apologize, if necessary, although I won’t apologize for some-
thing I don’t know I’ve done. I just found out that this person is now a grandmother. I posted a congratulatory message on her Facebook page, and now I’m blocked. When the rift occurred, I asked my parents to intervene and find out what was wrong. They refused, saying they didn’t want to get involved. I asked my ex-friend’s parents and was told it wasn’t any of their business. I tried writing this person and asking for an explanation. No response. I no longer care to reconcile, but I would still like an explanation. -- Too Late To Try Again Dear Too: We’re sorry you have been stonewalled, but this is not uncommon. Of course, it would be nice if she would tell you why you’ve been cut off, giving you the opportunity to explain or apologize. And there is nothing wrong with giving a blanket apology, not necessarily for wrongdoing, but for somehow damaging the relationship, even unintentionally. But too many people believe that spelling out the reason would be more damaging than silence, or they may subscribe to the mind-reading school, thinking you should “know” the reason. The fact that no other person will intercede on your behalf indicates there is little hope of reconciliation or of finding the explanation you desire. Accept it and move on. Dear Annie: Tell “Trying To Get Granny To Shower” that for around $200, Granny’s bathtub can be made safe and easy. A shower seat is just the beginning. Add a hose extension to the showerhead so she can direct the flow where she wants it and not have water get in her face. Then install a pole that extends from floor to ceiling just outside the tub so she can hold on as she gets in and out. I ordered mine through a well-known drugstore. -- Marsha, Age 76

GILFORD — Ecologist Dr. Rick Van de Poll, will lead a free guided hike through the Moulton Brook Valley in Gilford on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Society for the Protection of N.H. Forests and the Lakes Region Conservation Trust are hosting the hike, which will access the remote interior of the Belknap Range. Hikers will spend much of the day off-trail in order to see many diverse natural features: rocky talus slopes, “old-growth” forests, rare plants, uncommon natural communities and prime habitat for bear, bobcat, moose and coyotes. They’ll also see the regrown former pasture land known as the “jail pasture” for the way natural features once hemmed in cattle for the summer. The hike will showcase the 331-acre “Gage tract,” which is one of four properties in the current effort of the Forest Society / LRCT to purchase 950 acres in the Belknap Range, including parcels on Mt. Major. The conservation partners are raising $1.8 million to purchase four properties in the range in order to keep them undeveloped and open to the public for hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and other outdoor pursuits. Van de Poll, an ecological consultant from Sandwich who has conducted an ecological inventory of the tract, will co-lead the hike along with Dave Anderson and Tom Howe of the Forest Society. “The rugged “Gage Tract” contains unique natural communities and geological features that have long interested land conservation interests working to protect areas of the Belknap Range,” Anderson said. “This hike will traverse 4.5 miles of steep, rocky terrain as we enjoy this rarely-visited area.” Participants should wear good hiking boots and bring a lunch, water and insect repellent. This hike is family-friendly but best suited for older children. The hike will start at 9 a.m. sharp from Camp Bell in Gilmanton. The hike is free but pre-registration is required. To register, please email signup@forestsociety.org or call 224-9945. In case of heavy rain, the
