Hillsborough Co. inks deal to take Belknap’s overflow prisoners BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Belknap County Commissioners Wednesday approved an agreement with Hillsborough County for housing local prisoners at their Department of Corrections in Manchester. The one-year agreement is designed to help Belknap
County deal with crowding at its correctional facility in Laconia. It calls for Belknap County to reimburse Hillsborough at the rate of $57.50 per day per prisoner but also makes Belknap liable for all expenses associated with hospital or health care services as well as security services associated with outside medical services.
County Administrator Debra Shackett said that it was an ‘’after the fact agreement’’ as prisoners have already been transferred to Hillsborough County from the overcrowded Belknap County House of Corrections, which has a capacity of 120 but has had as many as 151 inmates in recent months. ‘’We’ve already received
our first bill for the month of September and that was for $15,000’’ said Shackett. She said that eight or nine Belknap County inmates are currently being held in Hillsborough County. ‘’We have 14 out in three different counties,’’ said Shackett, who added that other inmates have been transsee PRISONERS page 8
Hamel or Tardif shapes up as interesting choice for Ward 5 voters BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — “I’d rather look at the horizon than in the rear-view mirror,” said City Councilor Bob Hamel, who did not expect to be challenged in his bid for a fifth term in
Ward 5. But, earlier this month Tom Tardif appeared in the rear-view mirror when a recount of the 47 ballots cast in the primary election awarded him three write-in votes, enough to be offered a place on the general election ballot in November.
Ward 5 is one of three contested city council elections. David Bownes and Richard Beaudoin are vying to succeed Matt Lahey, in Ward 2 and Tony Felch seeks to unseat Armand Bolduc, in Ward 6. Perhaps see WARD 5 page 8

Police now say missing N. Conway teen never made it home from school
NORTH CONWAY, (AP) — A teenage girl who disappeared last week never made it home after leaving her high school, despite earlier reports by police that dogs had tracked her scent to the house, police said Wednesday. Abigail Hernandez was last seen leaving Kennett High School at 2:30 p.m. last Wednesday afternoon. Police said the next day that she made it to the town house she shared with her mother about two miles away and when the mother returned home later, Abigail was gone. Kieran Ramsey, FBI’s special agent in charge on site in Conway, said at a briefing Wednesday evening that Abigail, 15, did not go home after school. He did not elaborate or explain the discrepancy. Ramsey also said Abigail exchanged several text messages with a friend as she walked toward home on a route that she was known to use. Police did not reveal the content of see TEEN page 10

U.S. Senate votes to open government & raise debt ceiling; House also expected to OK deal worked out by Senate leaders
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– TOP OF THE NEWS –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
WASHINGTON (AP) — Racing to make a deadline, the Senate passed legislation Wednesday night to avoid a threatened national default and end the 16-day partial government shutdown along the strict terms set by President Barack Obama. The 81-18 vote sent the measure to a waiting House. Expected passage there late in the evening would clear it for Obama’s signature — the final act in an epic political drama that put the economy’s health at risk. The legislation would permit the Treasury to borrow normally through Feb. 7 or perhaps a month longer, and fund the government through Jan. 15. More than two million federal workers would be paid — those who had remained on the job and those who had been furloughed. The stock market surged higher at the prospect of an end to the crisis that also had threatened to shake confidence in the U.S. economy overseas.
The White House embraced the bill, worked out by the Senate’s two party leaders, saying in a statement it would “protect the full faith and credit of the United States and end the government shutdown.” Republicans had other concerns. “We fought the good fight. We just didn’t win,” conceded House Speaker John Boehner as lawmakers lined up to vote on a bill that includes nothing for Republicans demanding to eradicate or scale back Obama’s signature health care overhaul. “The compromise we reached will provide our economy with the stability it desperately needs,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, declaring that the nation “came to the brink of disaster” before sealing an agreement. Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, who negotiated the deal with Reid, emphasized that it preserved a round of spending cuts negotiated two years ago with Obama and Democrats. As a result, he
said, “government spending has declined for two years in a row” for the first time since the Korean War. “And we’re not going back on this agreement,” he added. Only a temporary truce, the measure set a timeframe of early next winter for the next likely clash between Obama and the Republicans over spending and borrowing. But for now, government was lurching back to life. In one example, officials met to discuss plans for gearing back up at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where 307 employees remained at work during the partial shutdown and more than 8,000 were furloughed. After weeks of gridlock, the measure had support from the White House, most if not all Democrats in Congress and many Republicans fearful of the economic impact of a default. Boehner and the rest of the top GOP leadership told their rank and file they see DEAL page 4
NASHUA (AP) — A New Hampshire gas station clerk who thwarted an attempted robbery by pulling out a handgun was fired because company policy prohibits staff from carrying firearms. Shannon “Bear” Cothran told the Telegraph of Nashua he was working at a Shell station in Nashua early Monday when a man approached him with a knife. Police
confirmed that the would-be robber fled after the clerk pulled out a gun. Cothran said he then filed a report with Nouria Energy Corp., which owns the station, and was fired hours later even though the store manager and a district manager lobbied to save his job. Nouria said in a statement Wednesday that it instructs its cashiers to give
thieves what they ask for during a robbery attempt to resolve the conflict peacefully and quickly. “Make no mistake: We care about the personal well-being of employees like Mr. Cothran, whose years of service are truly appreciated — not about the money in the cash register. So, we are especially grateful see GUN page 10

Police arrest man for allegedly robbing friend at knife point
LACONIA — Police apprehended Paul Mullaney, 27, on Tuesday afternoon — six days after he allegedly robbed one of his friends at knife point. Mullaney, who is considered a transient, was wanted by city police for related to an incident reported on October 9. He was ordered held on $20,000 cash-only bail after his video arraignment in court yesterday morning. According to affidavits obtained from the 4th circuit Court, Laconia Division, the victim came to the Laconia Police Station at 10:30 p.m. on October 9 and told police Mullaney had robbed him of some money. The victim told police the two had been together for a while earlier in the evening and during that time, he gave Mullaney $85 and dropped him of at the Cumberland Farm convenience store on Court Street. He said Mullaney called him about five minutes later and asked the victim to pick him back up. After the victim picked up Mullaney, he said Mul-
laney pulled a four-inch knife while the two were in the parking lot of the former Little Caesar’s Pizza store off Court Street. He told police that Mullaney apologized for robbing him, but said he wanted the money for drugs. Mullaney stayed off police radar until Tuesday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. when Belknap County Deputy Sheriff E. Justin Blanchette spotted and arrested him. Blanchette brought Mullaney to the Laconia Police Department where he was processed and brought to the Belknap County House of Corrections. According to a representative at the call center for the N.H. Circuit Courts, Mullaney has numerous prior convictions for a host of misdemeanors and one felony-level burglary. Other prior convictions include DWI, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, operating after suspension, criminal mischief, criminal trespassing, and at least three simple assaults. — Gail Ober
Young man who ran from Gilford police held on cash bail
LACONIA –— The Sheridan Street man who was apprehended after a brief foot chase with Gilford Police Tuesday was ordered held on $1,000 cashonly bail after his video appearance in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday. Gilford police officer Kevin Baron stopped the car Austin Brue, 20, was driving on Lake Street Tuesday afternoon because it had no plates. Brue ran from police and sprinted across the Shaw’s Supermarket parking lot. He was apprehended by a second Gilford officer. He is charged with resisting arrest, disobeying an officer, and operating after his license was suspended. In a separate matter, Brue, was also charged with unlawful possession of alcohol and for producing a driver’s license that belonged to another. Those offenses allegedly occurred on September 28, in Gilford and police had an outstanding warrant for his arrest.
Police affidavits filed in that case said Brue was a passenger in a car being driven by another. When a Gilford detective stopped the car because it’s driver was allegedly involved in a theft from Gilford Mobil Mart, Brue was in the back seat and there were open containers of alcohol. Police said Brue, who is 20, had alcohol on his breath and produced someone else’s license to show he was old enough. When the driver was back at the police station for the theft, the police said he told them Brue was really someone else. The detective said he thought he recognized Brue and later checked with some booking photos from previous encounters with him. Using that information, police were able to get a warrant for his arrest. Affidavits also said Brue had two additional bench warrants for his arrest on separate charges of receiving stolen property and willful concealment.
DEAL from page 2 would vote for the measure, and there was little or no doubt it would pass both houses and reach the White House in time for Obama’s signature before the administration’s 11:59 p.m. Oct. 17 deadline. That was when Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the government would reach the current $16.7 trillion debt limit and could no longer borrow to meet its obligations.
Tea party-aligned lawmakers who triggered the shutdown that began on Oct. 1 said they would vote against the legislation. Significantly, though, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and others agreed not to use the Senate’s cumbersome 18th century rules to slow the bill’s progress. In remarks on the Senate floor, Cruz said the measure was “a terrible deal” and criticized fellow Republicans for lining up behind it. see next page

Committee exploring privatization of Sanbornton public works will get to work in Nov. BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
SANBORNTON — Five of the seven people commissioned by selectmen to form a Public Works Privatization Exploratory Committee met with the board last night and agreed to serve. The five who were there last night are Jeff Jenkins, Curt McGee, Andy Sanborn, Fire Chief Paul Dexter, who will serve as a citizen, and Ralph Rathjen. The two members who weren’t at last night’s meeting are Mark Thurston, who had said he’d be late, and Bill Whalen who, according to Town Administrator Bob Veloski was unable to attend. Public Works Department Director Johnny VanTassel and Veloski, will be advisers. Selectmen Dave Nickerson spoke initially for all three selectmen when he told the new committee the goal was to see if privatization “is a good idea or is it a bad idea.” He said the selectmen would like to see a recommendation from the committee after it finishes its work. “The good, the bad, and the ugly,” Nickerson said. When some people started taking about possible future uses for “the campus” area near old Town Hall and uses for the new DPW Building, Jenkins said he thought this committee should narrow its focus to just the immediate task at hand. “If we get too wide, we get talking about a small committee talking about the whole town budget,” Sanborn said, agreeing with Jenkins that the task must be a specific one and limited to the DPW only. Sanborn also noted that $1 million, which is the annual operating budget of the highway portion of the Department of Public Works, is “a whole lot of money” and he feared there may be some attempts to influence the committee’s work in one direction or another. Nickerson told him that was why there would be no selectman’s representative on the committee. “That’s why we wanted business people and that’s
why we’re staying out,” he said. “If it starts to get political, put a kibosh on it.” Speaking informally among themselves, the newly appointed committee members said the first thing they need to do is to create a mission statement. All agreed the first meeting would be on November 5 — a Tuesday — at 7 p.m. and they would do the organizing a scheduling at that time. The first meeting will likely be at the town offices although there are other spaces in town including a conference room at the DPW where the committee can meet if there is a conflict with the town office meeting room. Melanie VanTassel said as a courtesy she would like to see town employees kept abreast of the committee’s work because she said some of them were upset to read about the formation of the committee in Wednesday’s Daily Sun. Selectmen Karen Ober said the earliest the selectmen expect any recommendations is in 2015 and should any changes be adopted at the May 2015 Annual Town Meeting it would be 2016 before they could be implemented.
In other Sanbornton news, resident and former Selectman Evelyn Auger spoke during the public comment portion of the meeting and said she was “bothered a lot” by a story in Wednesday’s Daily Sun about disharmony among selectmen. She said it occurred three weeks ago and while it was news, the board has already put it in the past. She also took exception to having two of Selectman Karen Ober’s spoken statements printed verbatim in the minutes of the meeting so that they end up in the newspaper. She also said when she was a selectman she often thought about resigning and at one point went so far at to bring a resignation letter to a meeting. “Sanbornton has already gone through the fire 10 years ago. I know, I was in the battle and I have the scars to prove it,” she said. Sanborn took the opportunity to suggest the board put a video camera in selectman’s meetings and air them on Lakes Region Public Access so they wouldn’t be dependent on the newspapers to get the news to residents.
from preceding page McConnell made no mention of the polls showing that the shutdown and flirtation with default have sent Republicans’ public approval plummeting and have left the party badly split nationally as well as in his home state of Kentucky. He received a prompt reminder, though. “When the stakes are highest Mitch McConnell can always be counted on to sell out conservatives,” said Matt Bevin, who is challenging the party leader from the right in a 2014 election primary. More broadly, national tea party groups and their allies underscored the internal divide. The Club for Growth urged lawmakers to vote against the con-
gressional measure, and said it would factor in the organization’s decision when it decides which candidates to support in midterm elections next year. “There are no significant changes to Obamacare, nothing on the other major entitlements that are racked with trillions in unfunded liabilities, and no meaningful spending cuts either. If this bill passes, Congress will kick the can down the road, yet again,” the group said. Even so, support for Boehner appeared solid inside his fractious rank and file. “There are no plots, plans or rumblings that I know of. And I was part of one in January, so I’d probably be on the whip list for that,” said Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

What to do about America’s low-skill workforce Some bad news for America, not on the political front this time, but on what corporate executives call human resources. It’s from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s report on adult skills, based on 166,000 interviews in 24 economically advanced countries in 2011 and 2012. The verdict on the United States: “weak in literacy, very poor in numeracy, but only slightly below average in problem-solving in technology-rich environments.” On literacy, just 12 percent of U.S. adults score at the top two levels, significantly lower than the 22 percent in largely monoethnic and culturally cohesive Japan and Finland. American average scores are below those in our Anglosphere cousins Australia, Canada and England and Northern Ireland. One-sixth of Americans score at the bottom two levels, compared to 5 percent in Japan and Finland. On numeracy the United States does even worse — only 8 percent at the top levels and one-third in the lowest. Americans do better at problem solving in tech-rich environments, which economist Tyler Cowen in his new book “Average Is Over” says will be of great economic value in the future. One-third of Americans score at the top two levels, while one-third score at the bottom or lack such skills altogether. That puts us just below the average of the countries tested. Finland, the Netherlands, Australia and Canada are well ahead. The OECD report finds a wider range of skills in the U.S. than in other countries surveyed. Americans with only high school educations perform worse than their counterparts in all but one other nation. And the report found that socioeconomic background is more strongly correlated with skills proficiency in this country. In addition, there is the uncomfortable finding that disproportionate percentages of blacks and Hispanics have low skills. Fully half of the Americans with the lowest level of literacy are Hispanic (presumably reflecting some immigrants’ weak English) and another 20 percent are black. This is probably true of other groups. In his 2012 book “Coming Apart,” Charles Murray showed that the 30 percent of whites with the lowest education and income levels have low rates of family formation, little involvement in voluntary associations and high levels of substance abuse. Most likely, those of any race or ethnic groups with divorced or single parents, or who are divorced or single parents themselves, tend
to lag below national and international averages in literacy and numeracy. Another disturbing finding of the OECD is that younger age cohorts in the U.S. do not seem to have skills as high as those in the cohort just below age 65. All of this suggests that America’s economic future may not be as bright as its past — or that the current economic doldrums may turn out to be the new normal. What to do? The OECD sensibly calls for better education and more adult skills training. In fact, many worthy attempts have been made and are being made to improve education around the country, and some have had positive results. Even the Obama administration, despite its political debts to teacher unions, has pitched in to some extent. In the meantime, the United States can do something about improving skill sets by changing its immigration laws to increase high-skill immigration. Current immigration law has inadvertently resulted in a vast low-skill migration from Latin America and especially from Mexico. Unanticipated large numbers have used the family reunification provisions to come in legally, and large numbers have crossed the border illegally. Congress can change that by cutting back on extended family reunification, improving border enforcement and requiring use of e-Verify or other status verification technology. More important, Congress can vastly expand high-skill immigration. The Senate bill passed last spring goes some distance toward this, but not far enough. The U.S. should take a lesson from its Anglosphere cousins Australia and Canada, which both have higher immigration proportionate to population and which both outscored the U.S. in literacy, numeracy and high-tech problem solving in the OECD survey. Australia and Canada allocate large shares of their immigration flow by point systems, which give credit for educational achievement and marketable skills. They do not necessarily tie high-skill immigrants to a single petitioning employer, as H-1B visas do in the U.S. Both countries are attracting high-skill immigrants, especially from China and India, and both have had better performing economies than the U.S. does. Making a concerted effort to attract high-skill immigrants should be a no-brainer for America.

LETTERS Tea Party cause is only to sabotage Obama and it’s getting old To The Daily Sun, I was very disappointed last week to read a letter from Mr. Jones in which he uses veterans as a pawn in the political chess game that we’ve been witnessing in Washington. He would have us believe that our Representatives SheaPorter and Kuster singled out veterans by voting against the latest ploy by House Republicans to make it appear that Democrats are “taking government hostage” and “voting against veterans”. In fact, their votes were against the obstructionist attempts to derail the ACA, not against veterans. Passing narrowly focused continuing resolutions, which they no full-well Democrats will vote against, is their way of countering the public outcry against their shutting down of the government unless a law, the Affordable Care Act, is de-funded. It is a strategy meant to embarrass Democrats and shift the blame. Are veterans being effected — definitely yes, just as all Americans are being effected by the drama unfolding in our nations capitol. The House voted to add a one-year delay of the Affordable Care Act to the short-term funding bill that would keep government running through mid-December. This Tea Party-led Republican attachment to the spending bill — once again attempting to de-fund ACA, and the Senate refusal to negotiate or vote on a straight budget bill without extraneous and
controversial demands have put our country in this position. They have voted to repeal, delay or de-fund the ACA 42 times, and now they are trying to prevent the law, upheld by the Supreme Court, from taking effect through extortion. It is clear, since he stepped into office, that the Tea Party cause has always been to sabotage President Obama and “Obamacare” — it’s getting old. If Republicans want ACA repealed, then vote on that as a standalone and not tied to the budget. The problem is that they don’t have the votes to overturn it and they are willing to risk so much damage to pursue their agenda. But holding the entire country hostage by combining unrelated bills is going to backfire on the Tea Party and the Republican Party. House Speaker Boehner believes the health care law “is having a devastating impact... something has to be done.” Apparently the Tea Party-led Republicans feel that shutting down government (curtailing aid to veterans, etc.) is the way to go. In the most recent polls, the approval rating of our Congress hovers around 11 percent (significantly higher than I feel it should be) and 75 percent of the voters express frustration with their representatives and want them ousted.

Can’t stand Pres. Obama? Get ready to deal with Pres. H. Clinton To The Daily Sun, The right-wing party is holding up the government on the passing of debt ceiling vote as they want to cut spending. I have written many times that the red states receive on the whole more than 30 cents more than blue states for every dollar paid in.The state of Utah would not exist without tax payers dollars. the Gulf states get over a dollar more than they pay in. Check the web yourself to see how
many western state congressman receive farm subsidies. I can see ahead when the GOP Party will be history. It has been written before, if you don’t like President Obama, get ready to deal with President Hillary Clinton. One more thing for the local experts: how many jobs have the right wingers created in the past five years? Henry Osmer Hill
When facts aren’t on your side you can always bang a shoe To The Daily Sun, How disappointing, and intellectually dishonest, for Kate Miller to first appeal to reason and objective references relative to the debate over the Affordable Care Act and to then personalize an attack focused on me

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, October 17, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS It’s time to refuse to bargain with political & economic terrorists
Isn’t ‘authorizing the use of force’ the same as declaring war?
To The Daily Sun, Tea Party members of Congress laughably anointed themselves as the pure and faithful guardians of the Constitution. Yet they do not care about votes in Congress, laws of the land, court decisions, any majority opinion, payments already approved, or existing contracts — unless they agree with them. They accept neither the legitimacy of democratic elections nor the results. Just like other fundamentalist extremists throughout the world, they intend to impose their warped social and political version of sharia on our country, whether Americans want it or not. This minority of a minority has hijacked the Republican party and now — like the economic terrorists they are — have put a gun to the nation’s head. They say “Do as we say or we will blow up the economy and everyone with it.” All Americans will be collateral damage of their fantasies. The Tea Partiers in the House will happily set off bombs in every 401(k), credit card account, mortgage, the national debt and the world’s economy. Not to mention Social Security, veterans’ benefit and military pay checks. Every one of us will be seriously wounded by their tantrum. Instead of threatening to hold their breath until they turn blue, like 2-year-olds in a cartoon strip, they are putting a choke hold on America’s windpipe. But wait: they say they are willing to negotiate. Except that their idea of negotiation is not compromise or finding common ground but only unconditional surrender. “Meet our demands and we
To The Daily Sun, Just a couple of things: Leon Albushies continues his opinion that former President Bush broke some laws with the attack on Iraq. I respectfully disagree. First he is under the impression that Congress, did not use the words “declare war on” that it was an illegal war. I’ve heard it argued that “authorizing the use of force” is the same thing. Not being a lawyer I cannot say this is right or wrong but I choose to believe it has the same meaning and was understood as such by Congress and everyone else, nit picking aside. Second his idea that we need the approval from the U.N. to do anything is absurd. The U.N. is a corrupt, incompetent organization that has violated it’s charter over and over for decades and like a contract that in business that has been broken it no longer has the force of law to enforce it’s terms. John Hoyt is so very concerned that the Tea Party wants to only hurt Obama. He forgets that Obama is, and has been, hurting the very people he claims to be helping. Under his administration the price of gas, diesel fuel, home heating oil, electricity and every energy source has gone up. That hurts the poor, elderly, sick. working families and the nation in general. Prices for food, clothing, rent all continue to rise. He has wasted hundreds of millions of stimulus dollars spending them overseas and wasteing them on investments here in this country
will let you live.” And then they will return later with more blackmail and ransom notes. Abraham Lincoln put it well when he spoke about the Southern Fire Eaters who blew up the country in an attempt to preserve slavery. He said: “A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear and mutters through his teeth, ‘Stand and deliver, or I shall kill you — and then you will be a murderer!’ It’s time to see these people as the radical extremists and anarchists they are. It’s time for leaders of the Republican party in Congress (including John “If I Only Had a Backbone” Boehner), who enabled these denizens of the fringe to show some sense of responsibility to their country and finally say no. It’s time to refuse to bargain with political and economic terrorists. It’s past time to take away the gun they are holding to the head of the American people. It is as simple as letting the House vote on a clean end to the shutdown and on the debt ceiling. Or to vote on any of the bipartisan compromises that come from the Senate. Watching the Tea Party caucus in action makes one wonder what these political versions of Timothy McVeigh, Eric Rudolph and the Tsarnaev brothers think they can get away with. They don’t believe in the Constitution or in democracy. The Tea Party fringers are modern day secessionists and nullifiers. Let the would-be Ayatollahs such as Cruz and Bachmann and Wilson impose their tea-cracy on themselves and leave the real world alone. Ed Allard Laconia
Shouldn’t take bumping against debt limit to reign in spending To The Daily Sun, Each month the U.S. government collects about 10 times as much tax money as it needs to pay the interest and principle on our national debt. Therefore, UNLESS President Obama violates the Constitution and refuses to make the payments, there will be NO DEFAULT on our national debt obligations. However, without a debt ceiling increase, government spending will be limited to its income. Payments on our national debt are supposed to be paid first. Social Security, Medicare, and other payments from trust funds should also continue. It should not take bumping against our debt limit to force Congress and the president to end our disastrous overspending. Both Republicans and Democrats have acknowledged that our deficits cannot continue (without a disastrous result), but neither party has truly acted to balance our spending and income. The hysteria from politicians, the media, and special interests is way out of proportion to the impact that fixing our spending problem will have on most Americans. Remember the hysteria about the ‘sequester”? Yet few Americans have been affected. Remember the hysteria about the government “shutdown”? Yet, this has affected so few Americans that President Obama has taken unprecedented, extreme, and outrageous steps to try to increase the pain such
withholding death benefit payments for our soldiers killed in combat. Many cuts in government spending should be easy as so many government programs have little positive value. The Department of Energy has obstructed our move to energy independence. Public education has become far more costly but not better, since the Department of Education has started “helping”. Programs that punish people for getting jobs and trying to become self-supporting should be scrapped. Programs that encourage self-destructive behavior such as premature Motherhood should be fixed to encourage behavior that produces long-term benefits. Thousands of useless million dollar “studies” (such as to determine the effect of alcohol on Chinese prostitutes) demonstrate contempt for hardearned taxpayer dollars and should be eliminated. Taxpayer subsidies and bailouts for businesses and other special interest groups must stop, these entities should survive only if they provide value to customers or contributors. If the debt ceiling is not raised, the greatest pain for most Americans will come from the hysterical protests from special interests that lose taxpayer dollars and politicians howling at the prospect of being forced to balance the budget as they are supposed, and many promised, to do. Don Ewing
on doomed, failing companies that incidental donated millions to his campaign. His ACA costs are rising like the sky rocket costs of his energy programs hurting everyone except the freeloaders and illegal aliens. Might I mention he has changed the terms and condition of that law without Congress, a power the president does not have. Not one program he has launched has done any of the things he promised, other then raise the national debt. And lets consider his foreign policy boondoggles. The “Fast and Furious” gun-running scheme killed hundreds and he and Holder covered that up and stonewalled hearings. If his Arab Spring policy was to create chaos in the Middle East, well that is a resounding success. National policy has resulted in the IRS, BATF, OSHA, and dozens of other departments targeting political opponents illegally. And hey, how about that little, no scandal here, Benghazi thing that killed the U.S. Ambassador and three American security men and which the President and all his crew lied to the world about then ran, and continue to run, another cover-up. After that we learn the government is listening in on everyone’s electronic communications. NICE! So excuse me if I think that even if, as John contends, the Tea Party only wants to hurt Obama, I say good for them. Steve Earle Hill
Shutdown is irresponsible; it’s costing too many people too much To The Daily Sun, I don’t know where Mr. Ewing gets his news because it certainly differs from what my sources tell me. Today, I read these headlines: “Senate Leaders Near Fiscal Deal but the House is Uncertain” in the New York Times, “Senate Leaders Close to Deal on Shutdown, Debt Ceiling”
in the Washington Post and “Senate Nears Deal on Debt, Shutdown” in the Wall Street Journal. The shut down is irresponsible and is costing too many people too much. But I urge Mr. Ewing to lay blame in the appropriate place. Kate Miller Meredith
WINNISQUAM REGIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT CHILD FIND NOTICE As mandated by Public Law 105-17, Education for All Children Act, and the New Hampshire Standards for the Education of Children with Disabilities, public schools must provide special education services for all children determined to be educationally handicapped. The law also requires a school district to identify such children from birth to twenty-one years of age. This law applies to all children including those in non-public schools, pre-schools, and hospitalsettings. Parents or service providers who suspect that a child might have an educationally handicapping condition are encouraged to contact that child’s school. The principal and/or assistant principal will provide information on the procedures for determining if a child is educationally handicapped and in need of special education services.

Strong odor causes stir at Belmont’s Heritage Terrace BELMONT — Firefighters had to temporarily relocate about 20 residents of the Heritage Terrace building off Shaker Road into their community room yesterday after some bleach mixed with other chemicals mixed together and created a toxic environment. Fire Chief Dave Parenti said the event came when a woman walked into the Fire Department at 8:30 a.m. and told firefighters she had been cleaning in her father’s apartment and some chemicals mixed and she wasn’t feeling very well. Parenti said the woman was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital in Laconia for evaluation while other firefighters went to the housing complex for the disabled and elderly to evaluate the chemical vapors. He said the smell was fairly acute on the second
floor so firefighters brought all of the residents into the downstairs community room so the entire building could be ventilated. Parenti said the toxic compound appeared to be bleach and some kind of lavender hand soap. He said the chemical reactions had stopped by the time firefighters arrived and they only had to ventilate the building and remove the bleach from the apartment. He said he notified the N.H. HAZMAT Team and they determined the fire department personnel was able to take care of the problem. All of the residents were back in their individual apartments at 10 a.m. and no one was injured. He said the woman’s father had been staying in her home for the day while she cleaned so he wasn’t effected by the fumes. — Gail Ober
LACONIA — This Thursday marks Laconia’s 14th year of participating in the National Lights On After School Program. Nationwide, about 28-million children have parents who work outside the home and, were it not for the after school programming, would have no where to go where there is adult supervison. After school programs provide students with a safe and secure place through programs that being when the typical school day ends. Project-Extra in Laconia joins the national celebration of students, parents, business leaders and adult volunteers who support after school programs for local children. Each elementary school, said Project Extra Administrative assistant Regine Theberge, will have its own theme at their schools while the Middle School will partner with the Boys and Girls Club. “The goal is to light up the city,” Theberge said, saying all of their community partners will be displaying balloons with glow sticks that will light up in the
dark. One Hundred Seventy Five students enrolled in the School District’s elementary-level summer learning programs Director Christine Gingerella told the School Board last week. Of those, 124 children were in the lower grades while 51 were in the upper elementary grades. Overall there was an average daily attendance of 135 students, or 77 percent of those enrolled. Gingerella said this past summer’s programs for the younger children was called Naturally Curious Camp and was broken down into two sections — primary and intermediate. Every year, said Gingerella, the school district hosts summer learning programs that are designed to supplant the regular school learning curriculum. She said this year the programs were designed to link realworld experiences — both indoor and outdoor — with language, math and science. And make it fun. — Gail Ober

PRISONERS from page one ferred to Grafton and Carroll county facilities. Shackett said that the county currently has bills for $31,000 for inmates being held out-of-county. She said that House of Corrections Superintendent Dan Ward was working closely with Belknap County Sheriff Craig Wiggin to arrange for the transportation of prisoners back to Belknap County ‘’as soon as we have space.’’ She said that the logistics of such moves are being looked at to try and ensure that as much as is possible those prisoners who are being brought back won’t have to be subsequently transported out of the Belknap County facility. County Commissioner Stephen Nedeau (R-Meredith) asked how many inmates were on work release or monitored by ankle bracelet and was told that there 12 in each category and that is the maximum amount allowed by regulations. ‘’We have as many people out there as can be supervised,’’ said Shackett. County Commissioners, who last week requested
the transfer of $52,000 to cover the Corrections Department cost overrun, will try again next week when the Belknap County Convention meets, to win approval of that request. The convention’s Executive Committee passed over the request, declining to act until they had an opportunity for study. The convention is scheduled to meet next Tuesday at 3 p.m. at the Belknap County complex. Commissioners also received a letter from the town of Gilford regarding the Lakes Region Mutual Aid appropriation, which will be dropped from next year’s county budget. The letter pointed out that as a result the Gilford municipal budget will increase by $78,162 since it will be paying Mutual Aid directly, and that the county budget will decrease by $554,037. Gilford selectmen requested that commission reduce the county tax rate so that it would be commensurate with the increase in municipal tax rates caused by the change.
Lights On After School today to celebrate program
WARD 5 from page one nowhere is the contrast between the candidates sharper than in Ward 5. During his four terms Hamel has come to play a pivotal role on the council where his support has been essential to the success of any major initiative. A champion of the property tax cap who was initially skeptical of major investments in the schools, he supported the construction of the Middle School, applying a sharp pencil to the project while cautioning against cheapening the building. When the School District turned its attention to the Huot Regional Technical Education Center and the High School, Hamel touched the brakes. Then, when he judged the timing and financing was right, he became an enthusiastic supporter of the expansive project, which included the expansion of the Huot Center, renovations to the high school and construction of new playing fields, including Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. “I’m pretty proud of being part of these projects,” Hamel said yesterday. The investment in the schools, he called “an investment in the community.” He explained that the programs at the Huot Center will develop the workforce local manufacturing firms require to thrive as well as provide students with the skills to pursue successful careers. Moreover, he said that “when people are looking for a place to live and raise a family, one of the first things they look at are the schools.” Hamel stressed that the council has undertaken these major projects while budgeting within the limits of the tax cap. He expected that the reconstruction of the Central Fire Station will be next project on the agenda, adding that once it is complete all the major municipal buildings will have been ugraded. “Then we can think about doubling what we spend on roads,” he said. Apart from the public projects, Hamel said that the city has enjoyed a significant amount of private investment, including Walgreen’s and CVS downtown, Dunkin’ Donuts, Dairy Queen and MacDonald’s on Union Avenue and townhouses and condominiums at The Weirs. “I’m seeing light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “There are people investing in Laconia.” Hamel said that he intends to ensure that “we take care of what we’ve got by keeping buildings in good repair and maintaining our infrastructure. We must spend the taxpayers’ money wisely,” For Tardif, who served as a city councilor from 1988 to 1990 and as mayor from 1990 to 1992, the race is the first he has entered since losing a Republican primary for Belknap County Commissioner to Frank Tilton by a two-to-one margin in 2008. He said after his friend Dave Gammon went to the length of petitioning the Superior Court to order the recount, he felt he should declare his candidacy. “I’ve bought signs,” he remarked. “It broke my heart, but I bought signs.” “It’s time for change,” Tardif said, describing the incumbents as “almost career councilors.. We need a true conservative and I think that is what I am.” Going a step beyond the tax cap, he said that he would not vote for any expenditures that increased the burden on property taxpayers. “The economy is not changing and it could get worse,” he said. “people are still hurting.” Tardif said that, unlike Hamel, he would not have voted this week to authorize the School District to borrow $1.8 million to fund further renovations at the High School. Acknowledging that the loan bears no interest, he said that the debt service amounts to $78,000 worth of fat in a budget already full of it. “Likewise, he said that he was opposed to a “Pay-AsYou-Throw” trash collection program, which Hamel supported, and also opposed the mandatory recycling program because it requires households to recycle or forego trash collection. “It’s the penalty that concerns me,” he said. “Trash collection is the responsibility of city government.” While Tardif called Hamel “a good guy,” he observed that “sometimes Bob asks all the right questions, but votes with the group.” Tardif doubted that his past as the head of the controversial Straight Arrow ticket of a quarter century ago would haunt him. “I don’t think they know me,” he remarked, declaring “I’m not ashamed of anything I did as city councilor or mayor.” He said that his administration built a park house, paved Union Avenue and North Main Street, bought a fire truck and ambulance “and the tax rate didn’t go up.” “What I say I’ll do, I do,” Tardif said.”If I say I’ll do the job, I’ll do the job.”

Forrester working with HHS to curb EBT abuse 5 local lawmakers get ‘A’ By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), who chairs the Senate Finance Committee, has introduced legislation to specify what the cash assistance benefit included on electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards may be used for, at the recommendation of the N.H. Department of Health and Human Services. Last year Forrester successfully sponsored legislation to align state law with federal law by prohibiting the use of EBT cards at liquor stores and off-premise licensees selling beer and wine, gambling establishments and adult entertainment venues. However, an audit released by the Office of the Legislative Budget Assistant last month concluded that “these restrictions will likely be largely ineffective and difficult to enforce.” The auditors found that while DHHS could monitor where EBT cards are used there are no means of monitoring what they are used to purchase. Moreover, cash withdrawals at automated teller machines represent 78-percent of the $23-million in EBT transactions, further hindering the agency’s
ability to ensure that cash assistance is used for the purposes for which it is intended. While the federal government funds the food stamp (SNAP) allowance that is also included on EBT cards, the state funds the cash assistance program. “That’s the challenge and that’s the frustration,” Forrester said. “There’s no tracking system. No way to audit.” She that after meetings with local welfare directors and Terry Smith of the Division of Family Assistance at DHHS, she believes that most recipients of cash assistance do not abuse it. Nevertheless, Forrester accepted the recommendations of the auditors that the Legislature more clearly define the purpose of cash assistance and DHHS promulgate rules restricting the use of cash assistance to them. She said that the new legislation prohibits the purchase of particular products and services like alcohol, tobacco, lottery tickets and tattoos that are not essential to subsistence. Following the recommendation of the auditors she expected the restrictions would also apply to those receiving cash assistance by electronic funds transfer (EFT).

CONCORD — Both state senators from the Lakes Region — Republican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith and Democrat Andrew Hosmer of Laconia — were named “Champions of Business” by the New Hampshire Business and Industry Association (BIA) for their voting record in the 2013 legislative session. But, only three of the 18 state representatives from Belknap County earned the title. Forrester and Hosmer posted identical scores of 89 percent while differing on just two of the nine “pro business” votes tracked by the BIA. Hosmer voted against and Forrester voted for a bill to convene a committee to study privatizing the prison system, which the BIA favored, while Forrester voted for and Hosmer voted against a bill to establish a moratorium on new generation and transmission facilities pending the outcome of a study, which the BIA opposed. Among the 13 Republican representatives in the county delegation, Frank Tilton of Laconia posted a perfect score of 100 percent and was joined by Richard Burchell of Gilmanton, with 88 percent, and Don Flanders of Laconia, with 86 percent, as a “Champion of Business.” Five other Republicans — Dennis Fields of Sanbornton, Bob Greemore, Herb Vadney and Colette Worsman of Meredith and Mike Sylvia of Belmont scored 75 percent.

Tilton police investigating chocolate store robbery Free desi gn advice! Fr ee estimates !
TILTON — Police are actively investigating Tuesday’s robbery of the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Store in the Tanger Outlet Center. Police chief Robert Cormier said a white male between the ages of 25 and 30 entered the store at 7:35 p.m. had the clerk open the register and he removed an unknown amount of cash.

TOKYO (AP) — A typhoon caused deadly mudslides that buried people and destroyed homes on a Japanese island Wednesday before sweeping up the Pacific coast, grounding hundreds of flights and disrupting Tokyo’s transportation during the morning rush. At least 17 deaths were reported and nearly 50 people were missing. Hardest hit from Typhoon Wipha was Izu Oshima island, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of Tokyo. Rescuers found 16 bodies, most of them buried by mudslides, police and town officials said. Dozens of homes were destroyed, and about 45 people were missing. A woman from Tokyo died after falling into a river and being washed 10 kilometers (6 miles) downriver to Yokohama, police said. Two sixth-
grade boys and another person were missing on Japan’s main island, Honshu, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. More than 350 homes were damaged or destroyed, including 283 on Izu Oshima, it said. The typhoon, which stayed offshore in the Pacific, had sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour), with gusts up to 180 kph (110 mph), before it was downgraded to a tropical storm Wednesday evening. The storm was moving northeast, off the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. More than 80 centimeters (30 inches) of rain fell on Izu Oshima during a 24-hour period ending Wednesday morning, the most since record-keeping began in 1991.
MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Ten people were found clinging to the hull of a small boat that capsized early Wednesday off South Florida, trapping the bodies of four dead women and one survivor in a tiny pocket of air beneath it. The fifteen people appeared to be making a perilous journey that thousands try each year. Migrants from Haiti, Cuba and other Caribbean countries routinely attempt to illegally enter the U.S. by reaching Florida’s coast in overloaded or unseaworthy vessels, often through established smuggling networks that include islands in the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos. Early Wednesday, one of the survivors called 911 on a cellphone, alerting authorities to their location seven miles east of Miami. “Sadly, and tragically, we did find four females, adults, underneath the boat that had perished,” said Coast Guard Cmdr. Darren Caprara. The survivor found when Coast Guard officials flipped over the boat was suffering seizures, and he was taken by boat to a Miami Beach hospi-
tal, officials said. He was treated and released to federal law enforcement. The rest of the survivors were in good condition and were taken into custody aboard a Coast Guard vessel while authorities investigated whether they were part of a human smuggling operation. It was not immediately clear whether they would be brought to the U.S. or sent back to their home countries.

Taylor Community partners with Genesis to offer rehab services on Laconia campus
LACONIA — The Taylor Community and Genesis Rehab Services (GRS) have partnered to create full rehabilitation gyms in both the Taylor Home and Ledgeview residential building in Laconia, complete with a dedicated rehab team of professionals. Services will be provided in residents’ rooms, around the campus neighborhood and in the new rehab gym. The new clinic/homecare team is based out of the Taylor Home Rehab Clinic. It will provide preventative, outpatient clinic and in-home physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy to residents in independent living. Liz Pomeroy, vice president of Health Services and Organizational Development at Taylor Community said she began looking to provide rehabilitative support services for residents about a year ago. She said wanted to be able to provide the list of services, including fall prevention, strength building, improving balance, helping residents remain at home, remain maximally independent and return home more quickly if they required hospitalization or short-term stays a a skilled nursing facility. Pomeroy added that she listened to resident feedback and worked with many local community service partners to explore these types of services for all three levels of Taylor Community living: independent, assisted living and nursing. Genesis is a nationally recognized leader in rehabilitative services. “Together, we believe we will broaden the choices our residents have for providers; build a stronger infrastructure for service delivery to them in their own homes and community; build deeper relationships and enhanced opportu-

approve Gov. Maggie Hassan’s request to call the Legislature into session for two weeks to consider expanding Medicaid. A special commission released its final report Tuesday with a majority recommending that the state expand the program, but requiring some adults to remain on their employer’s insurance when it’s
cheaper. A minority of the panel recommends that the state consider more private insurance options and do more to protect taxpayers. For expansion to be authorized, Democrats need Republican support in the Senate, where GOP leaders would like any expansion to involve more private insurance options before proceeding.

Gunstock building first Terrain Based Learning Center in New Hampshire GILFORD — Gunstock Mountain Resort is building the first Terrain Based Learning Center in the state of NH. This project is estimated at $175,000 in earth moving, expanded snow making, lighting and extending the surface lift to create a completely new learning experience. The new learning center is among more than $1 million of investments recently made to the resort. Learning to ski or snowboard has traditionally been on flat terrain with little representation of what is on the mountain, or the skiers movements to help make turns, and navigate runs. The new Terrain Based Learning Center will feature: Rollers, a Sluice, The Dish, The Spine and a Mini Pipe. These features are designed to help the skier or rider “feel” the mountain and use their natural movement to change the direction of the ski or snowboard. As they progress form the surface lift to the complex designed for beginners, served by the Penny Pitou quad lift, the Terrain Based Learning Center will again reduce the learning curve and build their confidence. “Scott Goeller, Gunstock’s Snowsports and Outdoor Adventure Manager
was instrumental in testing these ideas out last season, and presented an exciting, forward thinking plan to the senior management team last year”, says Greg Goddard, GM at Gunstock Mountain Resort. “In conjunction with Jeff Jacobsen, Gunstock’s Resort Services Director, Gunstock again is going to take a leadership role in a new way to get the beginner skier and rider up on the mountain and enjoying the day, using movement based learning. Gunstock has invested more than $1 million on improvements, preparing for winter with additional lighting, a new snow cat, snow making and trail improvements for the coming winter season. This year Gunstock will feature a learn to ski free week from Dec. 7 to Dec. 15. By signing up for the award winning 3 day Mountain Magic program, the first day is free. Gunstock also has a 4 to 7 week outreach program giving schools and recreation departments the opportunity to bring young skiers and riders to the mountain. Anyone wishing to get their community or school involved should call Gunstock at 603-293-4341.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The action that feels right to you is right for others, too. The good will you spread quite by accident will bring a giver’s high that inspires your future and more intentional generosity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you are to compete with the best and brightest in your realm, you’re going to need better tools. This is the right time to invest in yourself and in your game. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t want to establish a solid emotional commitment only to discover a few days from now that you’ve changed your mind. That’s why it’s important now to take things slowly. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 17). You are swimming in an abundance of easygoing energy for the next five weeks. If you need help, it’s offered. People you encounter have goals that fall right in line with your own. December brings a mutually beneficial business arrangement. January whisks you into someone else’s world. March brings a payoff. Leo and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 2, 1, 3 and 7.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Sometimes you take the “que sera sera” route and resign yourself to a “what will be will be” attitude -not today. What will be is what you decide to make happen. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Keep your talk small and happy, and avoid getting overly involved. It’s better to show your support and then carry on with your business than to stick around and risk being dragged into a drama. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Avoid doing anything to impress that person you admire. This person already finds you interesting and attractive, so doing too much will only ruin the effect. CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s strange how working on a problem sometimes makes it worse. Don’t stress yourself. Focus on what’s going well, and leave the problem alone for a while. It could disappear of neglect. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll crack a code of sorts. This likely has to do with a relationship. You’ll figure out what you can give another person in order to get what you need from him or her. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s an exciting change in your near future. It’s still unclear how all the parts have to move in order to make this happen, but one thing is clear: Move they will! LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are getting comfortable with your imperfections, so comfortable that you refuse to see them as imperfect at all. Rather, they are just intriguing quirks that cooperate to make up the whole of who you are. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ve done an excellent job, and yet you’re not getting the recognition you should be getting. If you’re very sly, you can bring attention to your work without making it look like you are blowing your own horn. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You behave differently around certain people. It’s as though you have to tap dance around these people to keep them entertained. Seek the company of people you can relax around.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 17, the 290th day of 2013. There are 75 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 17, 1777, British forces under Gen. John Burgoyne surrendered to American troops in Saratoga, N.Y., in a turning point of the Revolutionary War. On this date: In 1610, French King Louis XIII, age 9, was crowned at Reims, five months after the assassination of his father, Henry IV. In 1711, Jupiter Hammon, the first black poet to have his work published in America, was born on Long Island, N.Y., into a lifetime of slavery. In 1807, Britain declared it would continue to reclaim British-born sailors from American ships and ports regardless of whether they held U.S. citizenship. In 1912, Pope John Paul I was born Albino Luciani at Forno di Canale, Italy. In 1931, mobster Al Capone was convicted of income tax evasion and sentenced to 11 years. In 1933, Albert Einstein arrived in the United States as a refugee from Nazi Germany. In 1941, the U.S. destroyer Kearny was damaged by a German torpedo off the coast of Iceland; 11 people died. In 1961, French police attacked Algerians protesting a curfew in Paris. (The resulting death toll varies widely, with some estimates of up to 200.) In 1973, Arab oil-producing nations announced they would begin cutting back oil exports to Western nations and Japan; the result was a total embargo that lasted until March 1974. In 1987, first lady Nancy Reagan underwent a modified radical mastectomy at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryland. In 1989, an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale struck northern California, killing 63 people and causing $6 billion worth of damage. In 1992, Japanese exchange student Yoshi Hattori was fatally shot by Rodney Peairs in Baton Rouge, La., after Hattori and his American host mistakenly knocked on Peairs’ door while looking for a Halloween party. Ten years ago: The House and Senate voted to spend some $87 billion earmarked for securing peace and eliminating terrorist threats in Iraq and Afghanistan. Five years ago: Wall Street ended a tumultuous week that turned out to be its best in five years. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 127 points, closing at 8,852.22, but turned in the strong week because of two huge days of gains — a record 936-point jump the previous Monday and an increase of 401 points on Thursday. One year ago: Federal authorities in New York said a Bangladeshi student was arrested in an FBI sting after he tried to detonate a phony 1,000-pound truck bomb outside the Federal Reserve building in Manhattan. (Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis later pleaded guilty to attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempting to provide material support to al-Qaida and was sentenced to 30 years in prison.) Nike said it was cutting its ties with Lance Armstrong, citing insurmountable evidence that the cyclist participated in doping and misled the company for more than a decade.

Castle in the Clouds to mark rebuilding of front portico on Friday MOULTONBOROUGH — As the Castle in the Clouds heads into its centennial year in 2014, a year of celebration and dedication, it is happily celebrating a great season in 2013. With record attendance, weddings all season long, and important improvements to the buildings and additions to the staff this has been a busy and productive year. The major restoration project this year, the faithful rebuilding of Lucknow’s front portico, will be finished on October 18 and celebrated with a ribbon cutting attended by board members, and representatives from major funders--the Mcinish Foundation, LCHIP, and the Bank of New Hampshire. With the completion of this work the Castle Preservation Society will have invested more than $2,000,000 into the Castle property in restoration, rebuilding and renovation. The Castle Preservation Society also recently welcomed two new senior managers to the Castle family. Charles “Chuck” Clark is filling a newly created, and much needed position of Director of Operations. Chuck comes from COSI, the nationally recognized science center in Columbus, Ohio, where he was for ten years involved in various aspects of Guest
Relations and most recently director of the department. He will oversee three crucial guest centered areas: food service, admissions and weddings, rentals, and programs. James Towle, newly hired as Castle Facility Director, comes from the Holderness School where he has been Assistant Facility Director for the past ten years. Castle in the Clouds will close for the regular season at the end of the Day, October 27. That is also Moultonborough appreciation day, when Moultonborough residents tour the property and the Lucknow mansion for free. Even after the regular season, there is lots of activity at the Castle. Murder Mystery Dinner Theater is back again the first weekend in November: the Saturday evening performance is sold out, but there is still good availability on Sunday November 3 at 1 p.m. This year’s production, “Treason in the Court” invites guests to revel in a time of merry-making and celebration--but with treason and murder afoot. A buffet meal from Hart’s caterers and the show, all for $55, will make for a merry memorable event.. And Christmas at the Castle will also be back, this year November 22-24 and November 29-December 1 with music, vintage decorations, and other seasonal treats.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I’m 76 years old, and my 55th college reunion is coming up soon. I’m not sure I should attend. At every reunion, “he” is always there. We had a beautiful senior year and were very much in love. I expected a ring for graduation, but it never happened. After graduation, we moved apart and met up during the summer, sharing fall weekends attending football games with friends. After the last game, I felt a change. He never called or wrote. Through a mutual friend, I heard that he got back together with an ex-girlfriend and married. We had the right love, but the timing was bad. I receive a Christmas card and note from him every year. At every reunion, I want to be friendly and neutral, but I end up with my composure gone. I act like a spoiled teen, and he gets a chip on his shoulder. Now I want to go to say thanks for all we shared. I have had a great life. I never married, but my life has been full with a wonderful career, loyal friends, loving family, travel and entertaining. My years of fantasizing about my ex-boyfriend were over long ago. We may never see each other again, and I don’t want my life to end with this bitter feeling. So, should I drop him a note and say, “I’d love to see you and your wife at the reunion”? What do you say? -- A Very Ex College Girl Dear Ex: Since he attends every reunion, you don’t need to send him a note in advance, giving him the impression that his presence is the main reason you would be there. He may already think this. Don’t reinforce it. More importantly, are you certain you can behave in a friendly, neutral manner? Neither your track record nor your letter is convincing. If you attend, we suggest you practice what you plan to say in advance so you don’t end up ad-libbing something you regret. Socialize with others as much as pos-
sible. If that doesn’t work, you can always send him a note with your annual Christmas card, telling him what you want him to know. Dear Annie: I own a small barbershop. Some of my customers’ cellphone etiquette is quite frustrating. When they pick up their phone, it can interfere with my ability to cut their hair. If they continue to talk or text, it’s even more annoying. I can’t provide them with a quality haircut when I have to move around them or wait for them to finish. When other customers witness this delay, they grow impatient and want to leave. This occurs more often than you might think. What is an effective approach for letting my customers know that taking calls or texting is off limits once they sit in my chair? I don’t want to alienate anyone, but I’d be blamed if they got a poor haircut. -- Concerned Cutter in N.Y. Dear Concerned: It is perfectly proper to post a sign in your shop saying that cellphone use is prohibited while in the chair. You also can ask each customer as they sit down to turn off their cellphone. They wouldn’t want to lose an ear. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Juliana,” who was criticized by the people behind her for standing at a concert. When I pay good money for a seat, I expect to see the show from there. My wife had two knee replacements and cannot stand for long periods. At a recent concert, we asked some people to sit and were also told we should stand if we want to see. Promoters should designate the back half of the venue as a standing area and let the rest of us enjoy the show from our seats, because common courtesy does not seem to apply in these situations. -- Behind Juliana
