BC Convention heads to court over budget authority dispute By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The Belknap County Convention yesterday voted to petition Belknap County Superior Court to resolve its dispute with the Belknap County Commission over their respective authorities in the preparation and management of the annual county budget. The vote was 10 to 4, with all 10 of the Republican members present voting in
favor and all four of the Democratic members present voting against. Those in the majority were Representatives Colette Worsman, who chairs the convention, Bob Greemore and Herb Vadney of Meredith, Jane Cormier and Stephen Holmes of Alton, Guy Comtois of Barnstead, Chuck Fink and Mike Sylvia of Belmont, Richard Burchell of Gilmanton and Frank Tilton of Laconia. The four Democrats present were Lisa DiMartino of Gilford, Ruth Gulick of New
Hampton, David Huot of Laconia and Ian Raymond of Sanbornton. Three Republicans — Don Flanders and Bob Luther of Laconia and Dennis Fields of Sanbornton — and one Democrat — Beth Arsenault of Laconia — were absent. The vote followed another stormy meeting of the Executive Committee of the convention earlier in the afternoon, which was marked by disagreements between see COUnTy page 9

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — In the wake of a recent miscommunication between the School District and the local Kiwanis Club over high school football game concessions, the Policy Subcommittee of the board will set the parameters that govern how school concessions and fundraisers are handled in the future. The discussion triggered some dissension between a normally unified board about whether or not the district should even have a policy or whether concessions and fundraising should be handled at the school level. No formal vote was taken. Chair Joe Cormier said he worried that if the board gets involved in the concessions at the new Bank of New Hampshire Stadium then it could start a spiraling that leads to board involvement in every field or facility use, that are typically made by the building supervisors who are the principals. see Lsd page 8

Cardinals & Red Sox set to renew World Series rivalry
BOSTON (AP) — Lance Lynn squeezed through a door leading into the Green Monster, shimmied along a cramped space behind the famed left-field wall and peered out a tiny metal slot in the Fenway Park scoreboard. “A little snug for me,” the burly St. Louis pitcher said. Plenty of Cardinals got their first look at the century-old ballpark during a workout Tuesday, a day before they opened the World Series against the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox saw a neat sight, too. As they took batting practice at dusk, a giant, vibrant rainbow formed high in the sky beyond center field. Slugger David Ortiz noticed. “Oh, yeah,” he said. “It’s a Dominican thing.” Whatever, Big Papi. Something special always seems to happen when the Redbirds and Red Sox meet, from Stan the Man vs. the Splendid Splinter, to Gibby vs. Yaz, to Pedro vs. Pujols. Now, they’re set to meet for the fourth time in “that Octobery kind of air,” as Cardinals Game 1 starter Adam see SERIES page 11

Sluggish U.S. hiring said to show effects of shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) — A dim view of the U.S. job market emerged Tuesday with a report that employers cut back on hiring in September just before a partial government shutdown began. Just 148,000 jobs were added last month, a steep drop from August’s gain, though they were enough to lower unemployment to 7.2 percent from 7.3 percent in August. The report bolsters expectations that the Federal Reserve will maintain its pace of bond purchases for the rest of 2013 to try to keep long-term loan rates low. The government’s release of the September jobs report had been delayed 2½ weeks by the shutdown. Temporary layoffs during the 16-day shutdown will probably depress October’s job gain. That means
a clear picture of the job market won’t emerge before November jobs figures are issued in December. “The economy is too fragile for the Federal Reserve to touch,” Sung Won Sohn, an economist at California State University, said. “The shenanigans in Congress have hurt confidence and increased uncertainties, most likely hurting both consumer and business spending as well as hiring.” Average U.S. job growth has fallen sharply in the past three months after a promising start this year. The economy added an average of 143,000 jobs a month from July through September. That was down from the 182,000 average gain during from April through June and well below the 207,000-a-month pace from Jan-
uary through March. The report “reinforces the impression that the labor market was losing a little momentum heading in to the shutdown,” said Josh Feinman, global chief economist at Deutsche Asset and Wealth Management. “The labor market is continuing to create jobs. ...It’s just frustratingly slow.” Stocks rose after the report was released, in part because slower job gains mean the Fed will continue its stimulus efforts. The Dow Jones industrial average was up about 50 points in midday trading. Economists at Barclays now predict the Fed won’t trim its bond purchases until March, much later than its previous forecast of December.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Crammed into conference rooms with pizza for dinner, some programmers building the Obama administration’s showcase health insurance website were growing increasingly stressed. Some worked past 10 p.m., energy drinks in hand. Others rewrote computer code over and over to meet what they considered last-minute requests for changes from the government or other contractors.

Inter-Lakes board hears range of opinions on all-day kindergarten By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CENTER HARBOR — At an InterLakes School District forum Tuesday, some parents called for implementing full-day kindergarten in the district’s schools, citing education and childcare benefits, while others questioned if such a move was the best way to improve early childhood education and development. About 25 people showed up to offer opinions and ask questions at an open forum on the idea of all-day kindergarten. The session took place away from the board’s regular Meredith meeting place in what board Chairman Richard Hanson said is an ongoing effort to encourage input from residents of the district’s three towns. Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond said all-day kindergarten was a way to enhance education for children at an age when they are naturally curious and therefore benefit from the opportunity to explore subjects in greater depth. But she added that any changes to the kindergarten program had to be flexible enough to meet the needs of individual families. She said that taking a one-size-fits-all approach would be wrong. Resident Dick Hughes of Center Harbor agreed, saying: “All-day kindergarten is great, but you need to have flexibility.” Currently Inter-Lakes offers halfday kindergarten sessions lasting 2

3/4 hours at Inter-Lakes Elementary School in Meredith, while Sandwich Central School has an extended fourhour program. Wendy Mills of Meredith said she supports a longer kindergarten program. She noted that her son who is now in first grade has had difficulty adjusting to the longer school day at the same time he is facing more rigorous demands academically. But Dan Kusch of Sandwich said he worries that all-day kindergarten was an indication of increasing pressure on academics at a younger age. Kusch, who is chairman of the Sandwich Child Center’s Board of Directors, said the question of kindergarten education touches on three issues: childhood development, early intervention and child care. “If we need to look at early intervention and child care then let’s look at those issues and not just throw in all-day kindergarten in the hopes that that will correct early intervention and child care problems,” he said. Nancy Fredrickson of Sandwich said she felt the issue of all-day kindergarten was being rushed. “I think it is premature to try to implement full-day kindergarten for the coming school year,” she said. Ormond said that the School Board has not made any decision one way or the other on kindergarten expansion, but she indicated that school adminsee KINDERGARTEN page 11

Unions turn on Obamacare; don’t call them hypocrites It’s not just Republicans who are unhappy with Obamacare. Labor union leaders have been complaining too. In July, the presidents of the Teamsters, United Food Commercial Workers union and UNITEHERE (combined membership: 2.9 million) wrote a letter to congressional Democrats saying that Obamacare will “destroy the very health and well-being of our members along with millions of other working Americans.” “We have a problem,” they concluded. “You need to fix it.” Forget for a moment that organized labor supported Obamacare. The union leaders have arguably legitimate complaints. Obamacare does indeed create incentives for employers to reduce the workweek below 30 hours. It also discourages the high-benefit “Cadillac plans” that unions have negotiated — and that are one thing they can promise workers in organization drives. Obamacare taxes premiums on non-profit, multi-employer union plans that cover, for example, workers in multiple small restaurants. And the people in these plans won’t be eligible for subsidies available to policyholders in for-profit insurers. The union leaders were understandably ticked at the “huge accommodation for the employer community — extending the statutorily mandated ‘December 31, 2013’ deadline for the employer mandate and penalties.” Like many other Americans, they are angry that President Obama refused to fulfill his constitutional duty to faithfully execute the law. On a late Friday afternoon in September — the same timing as the employer mandate delay in July — the Obama administration denied the unions’ request that workers with multi-employer health plans receive subsidies on the exchanges. To which Terry O’Sullivan, president of the Laborers International Union, said he wanted the law “fixed, fixed, fixed” and, if not, “then I believe it needs to be repealed.” Consistent opponents of Obamacare might take satisfaction from these complaints. And they might observe that the unions backed legislation that tends to encourage union members to drop union plans and to prevent unions from attracting new members by promising Cadillac plans. They got what they deserved. I take a somewhat different view. Over many decades, union leaders have supported legislation that extends to non-members benefits unions have secured for members. They have consistently supported higher minimum wages — arguably because they bump up (already higher) union wages — ignoring the strong evidence that higher mini-
mums reduce low-skill employment. They supported the creation of the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act regulating pensions, even though such legislation, by extending benefits to non-union workers, made them less likely to feel a need for union representation. You don’t need a shop steward if you have an OSHA inspector. And in fact, union representation in the private sector has plummeted in the last three decades. Unions’ support of such legislation, and of Obamacare, may have been self-destructive. But it could also be characterized as altruistic. Many union leaders saw extending to non-members what they believed they extended to members. People like to do well, but they also want to do good. Let me cite two professions that worked to put themselves out of much business, out of altruism. Firefighters are the first example. Firefighter unions and other organizations have actively promoted safer building codes, restrictions on use of flammable materials and unsafe building materials. These firefighters have lifted the charred bodies of dead children out of burntout buildings. They have seen families destroyed by needless fires. They have worked to prevent such tragedies. And worked successfully: There are much fewer fires than there used to be. Firefighters have done themselves out of business. They spend most of their time now on routine services, which less expensive EMS personnel could handle, and their unions struggle to prevent layoffs. Another altruistic profession is dentistry. For many decades, dental groups have promoted fluoridation of water. They have vigorously encouraged people to brush — and floss — thrice daily. In their practices, they have seen the pain people suffer from because of defective teeth and painful abscesses. They want to reduce such suffering. As a result, Americans have far fewer cavities and dentists have far less routine work than they did some years ago. In response, they have developed new specialties — peridontry, enamelizing, orthodonture. Sure, all these professions are out to get, in the words of the classic union leader Samuel Gompers, “more.” But labor leaders, firefighters and dentists have also acted, at risk of losing business, out of altruism, to help others. Let’s give union leaders some credit for that, even as they decry a law they supported.

LETTERS Hold politicians accountable for stands on programs & taxes To The Daily Sun, That is a very descriptive political cartoon in today’s (October 22nd) Laconia Daily Sun as it truly is our future generations who will reap the debt which has been sown. When people say that they are voting for the children, I ask them: “which generation?”. Another cartoon worth citing is Walt Kelly’s Pogo, popular years ago for the wisdom uttered by a cerebral frog. Pogo said: “we have met the enemy and he is us”. Politicians of both major parties are unpopular as they continually promise more than can be delivered and continually fail to fund that which has been voted. Is the answer to promise more, spend more, partially fund more and larger programs and to grow the government in the process? About 40 percent of gross domes-
tic product is consumed by all of the various levels of government. The fact that this is a policy problem as opposed to a political problem can be seen right here in Belknap County where two of the three commissioners are Republicans who, nonetheless, have promulgated a budget busting 43 million dollar new jail. People should decipher what is behind the political rhetoric we see being bandied about and vote for the amount of government which they can afford. Beginning with the primaries and extending into the general election, ask the candidates where they stand on programs and taxation and then vote to hold them accountable for those stands. Rep. Richard B. Burchell Belknap 5 Gilmanton
It’s nice to know people are out there who will help a stranger To The Daily Sun, On Monday, October 21, while I was away from home, I received a call on my cell phone from the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department, telling me that my fire alarms were going off and they needed me to come home and unlock my doors. Today, I’m very thankful for two things. The first is that my fire alarms, it turns out, were triggered not by a fire but by a dead battery in one detector, which caused all of the rest of the hardwired alarms to sound. The second thing I’m thankful for is that someone walking by my Elm Street home heard
the alarms and cared enough to make the call to the fire department. There was no emergency in this case, but there could have been, and that phone call could have saved my home and the lives of my two dear pets. To whoever called the fire department on Monday, thank you. It is nice to know there are people out there that will help a stranger. And, to everyone else, now is a great time to replace the batteries in your smoke detectors if you haven’t in a while! Patty Johnson Northfield
Northern Pass will no longer air commercial with out-of-date ID To The Daily Sun, Recently I publicly complained about the misleading commercial WMUR-TV has been airing about the Northern Pass project. In the commercial, Doug Boyd of Franklin made a statement to the effect there he was the police chief. He is a retired police chief and currently serves of the city council. Last week I received a letter from the Northern Pass information office thanking me for bringing this to their attention. The letter states that the
interview with Boyd was from a few years ago and has been updated. The letter also says that commercials which air in there future will be up-todate with Boyd’s current information. I have not seen any commercial featuring Boyd since I went public with my complaint. Once again I state that I am neither for or against the Northern Pass Project. I just don’t like misleading commercials which don’t tell the truth. Gordon D. King Laconia

Why are towers needed when wires can be buried along roadways? To The Daily Sun, My husband and I moved to New Hampshire a few years ago primarily because of its gorgeous scenery. I feel the views of mountains, lakes, and countryside are the state’s greatest assets. Recently, I received a newsletter from State Senator Jeanie Forrester. In the newsletter, she referred to the public hearings that have taken place across the state concerning the Northern Pass. According to Senator Forrester, more residents opposed the project at every hearing than supported it. It’s no wonder. The Northern Pass would introduce a scar upon the landscape. Towers and wires marching down the center of New Hampshire do not present a picturesque view for tour-
ists or locals. I can’t imagine any tourist being thrilled with the view. “Oh, honey, look at those beautiful towers. I just love the way those high tension wires sparkle in the sun.” Why is it necessary when the wires can be buried along existing interstates? You don’t see ugly wires in big cities. That’s because they bury the eyesores. It’s done that way all across this country. Why not here? Doing so would also provide New Hampshire with a steady income from compensation for the use of the state rights-of-way. This would have a lasting positive effect on the state unlike the proposed towers. Kathy Carter Meredith
Objectivity & credibility are lost if you depend on political blogs To The Daily Sun, It’s very alarming, but not surprising, that Mr. Earle relies on conservative blogs for his information, and the source for unbiased and “open minded” intelligence. Evidently it doesn’t require facts because it’s a site he “trusts”. Apparently he doesn’t realize that all objectivity and credibility are lost when your information is dependent on political blogs, whether they be conservative or liberal. Most of these blogs have an explicit or implicit bias and are followed by people that agree with their personal opinions. In the past I have addressed Earle’s “lies and misinformation designed
to deceive”, but I have, as yet, not “attacked” his “person”. I would agree with Earle that “the truth behind Obama can not be denied by anyone with an open mind” — but the lies certainly can. Earle apparently has done an extensive check with his “reliable source” in Gilmanton as to my identity — with no results. My suggestion is for Earle to contact his “birther” buddies and launch an extensive investigation; with any luck, they can get Donald Trump as the lead investigator. L. J. Siden Gilmanton
Biden’s crack about domestic terrorists worse than CAP LETTERS To The Daily Sun, June Huot, in her Daily Sun letter dated October 22, is right: The Sun is a great venue for expressing one’s political thoughts. Huot is also right to suggest that a political arena should be sacred to debating and should not be used for berating or insulting other people sharing different points of view. Huot’s reference that newspaper CAPITALIZATION is used as YELLING at times to get attention brings to mind the words of a longtime friend who spoke as follows: “In my many
years as chairman of Staten Island’s Steamship Authority I have come to believe that people who raise their voice the loudest are usually wrong”. I might add too that this whole subject reminds me of Vice President Joseph Biden in 2012 when he equated Tea Party members as domestic terrorists for their voice seeking “less government” and “lower taxes”. Comments like Biden’s are worse than CAPITAL LETTERS Roland Jutras Meredith
You don’t have to belittle people who happen to disagree with you To The Daily Sun, I’ve been reading all the letters here for a long time now, and I must say, I’m really appalled at the lengths people go to in making THEIR point: calling people names — there is no reason for this. If you want to disagree with someone, just disagree, and explain your viewpoint; you don’t have to belittle them, or subject them to your personal insult. Aren’t we above this? Little kids and bullies
do this. I thought the majority of you were adults. I’m no prude and I’ll call a spade a spade when necessary but this is getting totally out of hand. Just because one disagrees with your view or one doesn’t let you know if they are a male or female —SO WHAT. Be nice people; maybe you’ll be treated better too. Judi Leavitt Laconia

The left gloats, the right sulks & the American people will be hurt To The Daily Sun, Well we wake up here on Thursday morning to the news that the Republicans have finally given in to the inevitable and passed the continuing resolution. We’re all safe now — at least until Jan. 15th. Lets hope the Republicans are smart enough to use different tactics by then. Now I applaud the passion of Ted Cruze and the Tea Party folks but really guys, you have to be smarter about these things. All you have done is give the left more ammunition to attack conservatives with. As I have been saying, let the ACA pass and when every working family, poor and elderly find out they are being shafted while free rides are being given to free loaders and illegal aliens then let the Marxist socialist extremists now running things try to justify their positions. I see that L.J. Siden wrote a fantasy novel covering most of a page here in The Sun. Well good for him. I skipped it, it’s just more of the same left-wing dribble. You all know how the left is. If you don’t agree with them they don’t counter any reasonable arguments they just call conservatives names like “racist, redneck, or any other offensive term then complain when we return the favor with things like “moon bat or nutty professor”. Thin skinned aren’t they? Love it when they say “Fox News lies” but when challenged can’t give even one example of a lie by Fox. Then they say “the Tea Party are all racists”
and for proof show a picture of one guy in front of the White House with a rebel flag. Some proof! By those standards we could say everyone on the left are sexual perverts using Anthony Wiener as our proof. I remember L.J. Siden wrote a letter here right after the last election claiming proof that Fox was biased because conservative pundits insisted Romney would win. He skipped the part where the liberal contributors on Fox all claimed Obama would win. So you see just how unfairly L.J. and the others on the left present the “facts”. Most of these Fox haters have never tuned into Fox because they have been told not to by MSNBC, Huffington Post, and the extremest Marxists media on the left. Even here in this paper recently, Nancy Parsons insisted everyone stop watching Fox and start listening to a select list of all leftist media. Talk about brain washing — geeze! Now as those on the left gloat and we on the right sulk. Remember it is the regular American people who are going to be hurt the most. As an old expression goes, people get the government they deserve, so in spite of the best efforts of the well meaning Tea Party members of Congress, Americas deserves to be hurt for falling for Obama and crews lies and false promises.

We have pursued failed education policies for years; nothing changes To The Daily Sun, As public schools continue to present games as the premiere event of the school year — and at the same time completely ignore scholastic achievements, it gives further credence to the fact that we are well behind most industrial countries in educational standards (while the system we support reeks of failure.) Consider this: the average newspaper has three pages of game results, none (zero) of academics. Day after day, not one newspaper article tells of what’s happening in the classrooms! Is it school policy to deliberately withhold vital information about percentile grades and overall progress, or lack of it? When 75 percent of students statewide are failing at math, all attention
focuses on winning the games played. But, win or lose, they are irrelevant to a student’s success in school.\ We, as a society, let this failure continue, as this country slides into mediocrity and fewer and fewer graduating seniors who move on to college have the skills to compete for jobs in a world marketplace. And too many students are ill-prepared for secondary education without remedial courses. Yet the beat goes on! We have pursued failed policies for years — and nothing changes. Society, as we know may disappear in the next decade or two. It says in the Good Book: “The meek shall inherit the earth!” Maybe that will happen! Leon R. Albushies Gilford
Belmont selectmen unhappy that casino owes $235,000 in back taxes
$97k 2+ years delinquent; no payments made since March BY GAIL OBER
BELMONT — Selectmen learned Monday night that the Lakes Region Casino owes about $235,000 in back property taxes to the town after falling behind on the agreement that was struck in April of 2012. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said $97,289 is subject to taxdeeding, meaning that the town can place a lien on the property. According to N.H. law, a tax bill must be two years and one day late before it is subject to a deeding. “I don’t want to push them out but they made a deal,” said Selectman Jon Pike. “I don’t believe they’ve showed good faith.” The deal about which Pike spoke was made by the three selectmen and and the owners of Potts Gaming, LLC. Former Casino Manager Rick Newman represented Potts Gaming at the meeting when the deal was struck. In April of 2012, which was shortly after Potts Gaming bought the former Lakes Region Greyhound Park when the bank foreclosed on the loan previously held by Torguson Gaming Group. Potts Gaming and the Board of Selectmen agreed that the business would pay $3,000 weekly toward the $185,781 in back taxes in exchange for the board waiving $25,400 of accrued
interest and fees. Beaudin said Potts Gaming has not made a tax payment to the town since the end of March of 2013. She said she contacted the General Manager Ryan Gloddy who said the casino would start making payments on December 1. “It’s unacceptable,” said Pike, telling Beaudin to send a letter to Potts Gaming LLC. “I want those payments to resume.” Pike and Selectman Ruth Mooney both said that it was Potts Gaming who made the deal with the town and it was their responsibility to make the payments as agreed. Neither felt it was appropriate for the company to dictate the terms of when they would resume paying the taxes. Selectman Ruth Mooney also said she was a little disappointed to learn this week that the Casino was behind on its agreement since it had been almost seven months since it made a payment. Other than agreeing that Potts Gaming should have kept up their end of the bargain, Selectman’s Chair Ron Cormier recused himself from the discussion saying his son participates in one of the youth hockey programs that uses the Lakes Region Casino as a fundraiser. The Daily Sun was unable to reach Lakes Region Casino Manager Ryan Gloddy yesterday.
BELMONT — Police are investigating an armed robbery that occurred at 9:23 p.m. Monday night at the Dunkin’ Donuts store on Route 3, in front of the Belknap Mall. The two employees working at the time said a male subject wearing a face covering, a hooded sweatshirt, gloves, and carrying a large knife entered the store and demanded cash. Neither employee was injured. Employees told police the man fled on foot. A Gilford K-9 and handler, Laconia
and Tilton Police assisted Belmont Police who searched the area. The dog was unable to pick up a scent. Anyone with any information about the crime is asked to call the Belmont Police at 257-8351 and ask to speak to Detective Raechel Moulton or Sgt. Adam Hawkins. This is the second robbery along Route 3 in as many days. Laconia Police continue to investigate the unarmed robbery of the Premium Mart on Court Street.

vation failed. In the interim, the castle continued to go downhill, portions of the roof collapsed, and vandals and trespassers wreaked their own havoc upon the now 100-year-old structure. The town building inspector ordered Jodoin to address the situation, giving him a May deadline. Jodoin drafted a petition for changes in the trust that would need allow him to rezone the property for single-family use that would allow him to demolish the castle and sell the 25-acre lot to another. Because the selectmen are the trustees of the entire piece of property, they must be the ones that petition the Belknap County Superior Court for any changes to the trust. After listening to residents at a public hearing speak overwhelmingly against the destruction of the castle and other provisions of the suggested petition, Selectmen voted not to recommend the petition as drafted and the petition will appear on the town ballot March as a warrant article. Selectmen extended the demolition order until after the 2014 annual town meeting. By naming Kimball Castle as one of the seven to save, it gives proposed demolition a bigger audience and can help with any fund-raising efforts to save it. Carol Anderson is listed by the N.H. Preservation Alliance as the contact person. She can be reached at carol@berrypatchhollow.com or a Coldwell Banker at 524-2255.

GILFORD — The N.H. Preservation Alliance has included Kimball Castle in its annual “seven to save” list, meaning the board has determined it is one of seven most endangered historical and architectural buildings in the state. The castle, which is privately owned but is subject to the provisions of a trust managed by the Gilford Selectboard, lies in near ruins on Lockes Hill, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee. “It has become a cause celebre as the town considers a request for demolition of a privately held property that was supposed to have been rehabilitated long ago,” read the media release sent out yesterday by the Preservation Alliance. The castle has become one of the hot topics in Gilford after the town’s code enforcement officer determined that it is unsafe and should either be demolished or enclosed by a fence. Built in 1899 by railroad magnate Benjamin Kimball as his summer home, the castle had spectacular views of Lake Winnipesaukee and continues to be a landmark that can be seen from the “Broads” section of the lake. Kimball’s daughter-in-law Charlotte created a trust for the property on the grounds that it be used for wildlife observation and for hiking trails. According to legend, she also left about $400,000 for the management and upkeep of the castle and its environs. The money disappeared and in the early 1980s the N.H. Attorney General Office offered the land to the town for its preservation. The town was never able to raise the money for the castle upkeep. In 1999, the town carved out a 25-acre lot that included the decaying castle and sold the property to a company that wanted to renovate it an make it into an inn and restaurant. One of the partners in the company, David Jodoin, ended up with the property after plans for the reno-

COUNTY from page one the committee members and county commissioners. When Tilton, the chairman of the Executive Committee, later reported to the full convention, Worsman voiced her frustration at wrestling with two budgets, one adopted by the convention but amended by the commission. “It is becoming,” she said pausing, “disheartening.” Vadney then read a motion authorizing attorney David Horan, who has been retained by the convention, to seek a declaratory judgment “concerning the legitimacy or lack thereof of the Belknap County Commissioners rewriting the 2013 county budget by making multiple line transfers” without the review or approval of the Executive Committee. Furthermore, the motion authorized Horan “to take any and all other legal action he sees fit to protect the fiscal integrity of the County Delegation’s original budget.” In August, when a similar motion failed by a single vote — 9 to 8 — Vadney and Tilton both voted not to litigate. Yesterday Tilton told his colleagues that he voted intending to allow 60 days for improvement in relations between the convention and the commission. “I don’t see any,” he remarked. Throughout the year the Republican majority of the convention has insisted that the convention can rewrite the budget proposed by the commission by adding or deleting, raising or lowering appropriations for particular line items. And, in the course of managing the budget, the commission may only reallocate funds from one line to another with the approval of the Executive Committee of the convention. With equal resolve, the commissioners claim that the authority of the convention is limited to itemizing appropriations in 13 categories accord with the “Statement of County Appropriations and Revenue as Voted,” or MS-42 form, submitted to the New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration. Within these categories, the commission contends it can distribute funds among different lines without the approval of the convention as long as expenditures do not exceed the total appropriations of the particular categories. The issue came to a head when, after the convention stripped appropriations to fund bonuses for unused sick time and longevity of service as well as the employer share of a 7.3-percent increase in health insurance premiums from the 2013 budget, the commissioners shuffled money within departments budgets to fund employee benefits. Altogether the commission drew from 91 lines to fund 27 accounts the convention left empty. The convention budget includes $10,000 for legal expenses, of which $7,061 has been spent. Raymond asked Worsman if the cost of litigation would be capped and if not, “where is the money going to come from?” She replied “I can’t answer that question.” Meanwhile, Worsman, Tilton and Huot have introduced legislation to address the issue by clarifying the role of the convention and commission in the budget process. Worsman and Tilton would codify the position of the convention in statute while Huot’s bill would authorize the commission to transfer funds between line items within accounts but require the approval of the convention for transfers of $1,000 or more between accounts. The tensions overshadowed yesterday’s meeting of the Executive Committee when the commissioners repeated their requests, which the committee from preceding page spring, it was allegedly not conveyed to the Kiwanians until two weeks before the football home opener and stadium dedication. Outraged and feeling blind-sided, the Kiwanians appeared en mass at a School Board meeting to complain about both the lack of process and the lack of communication between the district and their organization. Last night, Policy Subcommittee Chair Chris Guilmett said that after Superintendent Terri Forsten calls a few other districts to see how they handle concessions and facilities, the committee will create a policy that that delineates who makes the decisions in the hope that the full School Board will endorse it. Other members of the Policy Subcommittee are Stacie Sirois and Beth Arsenault.
denied in August and deferred two weeks ago, to transfer funds from contingency to defray overruns in the convention and corrections budgets. The committee again unanimously refused to transfer $5,000 to pay the stipend and reimburse the mileage of members of the convention for attending meetings. The convention is projected to spend $20,025, over spending its line-item budget by 32 percent. Tilton has advised members not to expect either stipends or reimbursements for the remainder of the year. County Administrator Debra Shackett reminded the committee of the statute requiring that members receive a stipend and reimbursement and later, when the full convention met, suggested members vote to forego both. The 14 members present agreed, but some were concerned that absentees might disagree, suggesting any vote should be unanimous. Worsman suggested polling the members by e-mail. Instead, the convention asked Shackett to draft a motion for the next meeting. The Executive Committee also shelved the commission’s request to transfer $52,000 to the Department of Corrections, which has coped with a swelling jail population by shunting inmates to facilities in other counties at a cost of $57 per day, not including the costs of providing them medical services and transporting them to court appearances. Shackett said that there was an outstanding bill of $31,000. Commissioner Ed Philpot said the “budget crisis” arose from “a mistake in the budget,” prompting Tilton to snap “that’s not correct,” to which Philpot replied “there are a lot of things around here that
are not correct.” Worsman suggested that rather than transfer funds from contingency, the money be drawn from appropriations for fuel, which she said were over budgeted, sparking a heated exchange between Tilton and Philpot. “I can’t tell you today that because the projections look favorable, that we can transfer those funds,” Philpot said. Tilton challenged him, noting that $265,000 was budgeted for fuel purchases, but only $90,000 had been spent through September. “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to do the math,” he said, doubting that the balance of the appropriation would be spent in the next 10 weeks. Philpot insisted that major fuel purchases were in the offing and until they were made he could not ensure there would be sufficient funds. Ultimately the commissioners agreed to review the budget to determine if there was an alternative to drawing from contingency. NOTE: The Belknap County Convention adopted a “Memorandum of Understanding” (MOU) with the University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension. Suzanne Cagle, a field specialist with the cooperative extension, explained that the MOU expires every six years and by statute must be reaffirmed. She said that the service has undergone an extensive reorganization, including eliminating 37 positions statewide and reordering its priorities. The county funds approximately a third of the service’s budget with federal and state monies providing the balance. Only Representative Jane Cormier (R-Alton) dissented. “It’s full of regionalism,” she said.

LARSON from page one vacancy created by the resignation of Commissioner Chris Blackstone of Alton was won by Chuck Lowth of Meredith, an incumbent 15-year member of the commission whose term is expiring. He garnered eight votes to five for McDonough and two for Lambert. At one point in the vote for the five-year term it appeared that there was a 5-5 tie, but Rep. Ruth Gulick (D-New Hampton), who had originally said she wanted to vote for Lowth, changed her vote and cast it for Larson when she realized that Lowth had said he was interested only in the two-year term. Larson, a retired attorney who worked for CIGNA Insurance in New Jersey before establishing her own private practice in Princeton, New Jersey, retired in 2010 and moved to Alton. Unlike many of the 11 candidates who had highlighted their own business experience and ties to Gunstock in their brief five-minute interviews, Larson said that she had applied for the job because she wasn’t sure anyone else was going to. ‘’I was very pleased to see so many well-qualified candidates,’’ said Larson, who said that she had once run a law office with 40 people and would approach
the job as a commissioner ‘’with a sense of humility and no agenda.’’ She said that one of the motivating factors for her application was her experience of weekday skiing at Gunstock over the last year. ‘’I didn’t see many people on the lift lines and I didn’t think the area was doing that well. But I later learned that was because I wasn’t there on the weekends when it was really busy and I know now that the area has been doing very well,’’ said Larson. She said that she was pleased by the vote and intends to work closely with other commissioners to fulfill Gunstock’s mission as a four-season attraction which is responsive to both residents and visitors. Lowth said that he was interested in the two-year term because he wanted to see the commission continue to work cohesively and continue to make progress following the proven business model developed from Gunstock’s master plan. He said that no matter what a person’s background, the ski business is unique and that is a great deal of on the job learning required for commission members. He said that his appointment would help see next page
TROUGH from page one For years the watering trough stood in front of the Harold Tefft house on Elm Street in Lakeport, according to Ginger Tefft Ryan, vice president of the Community Association, who says that she can remember seeing the trough in McGrath Square right up through the mid-1940s, but that it disappeared shortly after World War II. She said that the watering trough was finally located when she and Charlie Hopkins were going through the postcards at the Community Association’s museum in the late fall of 2012 and she pointed out a 1903 postcard to him, showing the trough in what was then Franklin Square. It was renamed McGrath Square in honor of Earl McGrath, the first Laconia soldier killed in World War I.) ‘’Charlie said that he knew exactly where it was and that was in a field in Gilmanton,’’ said Ryan, who later visited the Clark property in Gilmanton, bringing the postcard along with her, where she met Roger Clark, whose parents Al and Helen Clark, had owned the farm on Currier Hill Road, also known as Old Belmont Road, where the watering trough was found. She said that it was through the Clark family that she was able to learn what had happened over the years to the trough. ‘’After it left Lakeport it went to the Norman Hubbard Farm in Gilford. Hubbard was a Belknap County Commissioner and friendly with my father, who later served on the Laconia City Council,’’ said Ryan. Ryan said that the watering trough remained at the farm until the property was converted into a golf course, now Pheasant Ridge, in the early 1960s. ‘’Apparently Hubbard gave it away or sold it to
Al Clark and it had been in Gilmanton for over 50 years,’’ said Ryan. After the Clark family agreed to give the watering trough to the association and receiving permission from the City of Laconia to install it in Lakeport, Councilor Armand Bolduc and long-time association member Robert Fortier took on the task of moving it last summer. Roger Clark and his neighbor Woody Wilson used Wilson’s tractor to dig up the trough, whose base was virtually buried, and lift it into Bolduc’s pickup truck. The trough was then taken to Lakeport, where it was unloaded by the Laconia Public Works Department. She said that Charlie Beede sandblasted the black coating off of the trough, which was then painted white with all of its trim done in black by Mike Plunkett of Midnight Express Painting. The paint for the project was donated by Sanel Auto Parts. Brenda Moulton and Doris Milo planted the flowers after the base of the centerpole was installed by Hewitt Welding. Roger and Liz Clark brought their mother, Helen, now a resident of Genesis Healthcare, to see the through and she said that she was delighted to see the transformation. Also taking part was Caroline Clark of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Helen’s daughter-in-law, who said that she could remember seeing the water trough at the Clark farm for years and who said that she thought that the new location is picture perfect for a unique bit of Lakeport history. Ryan said that work on the trough will continue with a post being welded into the middle of the trough which will hold a sign which reads McGrath Square and a formal dedication will be held.

KINDERGARTEN from page 3 trators are developing the necessary information for the board to consider when the time comes to make a decision. School Board member Lisa Merrill said more public input was required. “I want to hear from parents before we move forward with anything,” she said. Ormond said that a survey would be posted on the School District website and printed in local newspapers. Hanson also urged that surveys be targeted to various groups in the district. “If we do anything right away,” Hanson added, “it will be to give people choices.”
Inter-Lakes Curriculum Coordinator Kathleen Hill said that if parents are offered a choice between full- and half-day kindergarten it will be done in a way that parents who choose the half-day option will not be made to feel that they are short-changing their child’s education. The curriculum content for both programs would be the same. The difference would be the all-day program would offer more time for activities, such as art, physical education, and music. Kusch told the board, “I want to hear ... a clear rationale for whatever options are being offered. ‘Kindergarten is good, so more of it is better’ is not a rationale,” he added.
SERIES from page 2 Wainwright described it. Jon Lester will oppose him Wednesday night, facing a lineup that got a late boost. Allen Craig, who hit a major league-leading .454 with runners in scoring position but hasn’t played since Sept. 4 because of sprained left foot, is set to return. “I feel like I’m in a good spot,” said the cleanup man, who will be the Cardinals’ designated hitter. Weather could be a factor. Temperatures are supposed to dip into the low 40s and rain is in the forecast. Boston was listed as a slim favorite in the matchup between teams that tied for the big league lead in wins. The clubs haven’t met in the regular season since 2008, and Red Sox speedster Jacoby Ellsbury was looking forward to this pairing that some are billing as the Beards vs. the Birds. “It will be exciting to see some unfamiliar faces,” he said.
Dustin Pedroia, Mike Napoli and many of their scraggly Boston teammates figure to get a good look at the Cardinals’ crop of young arms, led by postseason ace Michael Wacha and relievers Trevor Rosenthal, Carlos Martinez and Kevin Siegrist. Ortiz is the link to the Red Sox team that swept St. Louis in the 2004 Series — Boston never trailed at any point — and ended an 86-year championship drought. “Obviously I’m aware of the history of the two teams,” Ellsbury said. “Once the first pitch happens, all that goes out the window.”
from preceding page keep ‘’a normal rotation for the commission’’ and not have two new commissioners learning the ropes at the same time. The five member-commission was established by state legislation in 1959 and removed authority over the day-to-day operations of Gunstock from the Belknap County Commissioners and placed it in the hands of a five-member commission whose members would be appointed by the County Convention. Under the state law that established the commission, no more than two members of the board may reside in the same Belknap County municipality. Laconia is currently the only such municipality currently represented by more than one — Sean Sullivan and Bob Durfee. John Morgenstern of Gilford is the other member of the current board.

Ten Tips To Help You Save Energy, Money And Time (NAPSI)—Your energy bills will be less likely to get you hot under the collar if you heed a few hints from the experts at the U.S. Department of Energy. 1. Install and set a programmable thermostat to save up to 10 percent on heating and cooling costs. 2. Use sunlight to your advantage. During the cold months, open your curtains during the day to let the sun shine in. During warmer months, use light-colored window shades or blinds to reflect heat back out. Using natural lighting can also reduce your need for artificial light. 3. Set your water heater to no higher than 120 degrees. Install lowflow showerheads or temperaturesensitive shower valves. 4. Choose energy-saving lighting. Compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, compact fluorescent bulbs yield as much as 75 percent energy savings and last six times
longer. 5. Get an electronic power strip. Many chargers and other devices consume energy even when not in use. Plug them into the power strip and turn it off. 6. Arrange for annual heating and cooling system maintenance by a qualified technician. 7. Clean the air filters in your heating and cooling system monthly and replace them as needed. Also, clean the vents, vacuum under the refrigerator and keep food from blocking the airflow. 8. Use Energy Star−certified appliances and electronics. They use much less energy and water than standard models. For example, a new Amana dishwasher uses 35 percent less energy and 62 percent less water than older, conventional dishwashers. It has a heated dry function that whisks away moisture, drying dishes thor-
oughly and saving you time. Its Triple Filter wash system means there’s no need to pre-rinse your dishes: The three filters remove food particles so you conserve energy and water and still get dishes clean. Then there’s the Amana Sideby-Side Refrigerator. With its large capacity, it uses 30 percent less energy than older models. It also dispenses filtered water and ice so you can save money not buying bottled water. 9. Plant trees that lose their leaves no closer than twice their height south of your house so they’ll provide shade in summer but not block sunlight in winter. Other good places for trees are in Tanzania, Brazil and Indonesia, where they help reduce environmental destruction. That’s why, for every major appliance sold in the U.S., Amana will donate the cost of planting a tree.
To save energy, make sure your appliances are well maintained and running smoothly.

Tips on sprucing up your home this fall
(NAPSI)—While new throw pillows, a fresh coat of paint or a decorative lamp can do wonders to refresh a room, when you get down to it, one of the best ways to make a room sparkle is to refinish your hardwood floors. In the past, refinishing hardwood floors was often considered a time-consuming, dusty and smelly undertaking. Today’s technology and products, however, can make it quick and easy—in some cases, you can be back in your home the same day. These five tips can help. 1) Don’t let your floors get overly worn, scratched or damaged before you take action. Refinishing when your floors only have some wear and tear can mean an easy, one-day recoat. If you wait too long, you may have to replace some of the floorboards. 2) Go with a contractor that uses a dust-free system. Dust containment systems make refinishing hardwood floors clean and safe by reducing airborne dust by 99.8 percent. Old wood floor refinishing methods can produce wood dust particle counts 200 times over the OSHA limit. 3) Go with a pro. Know the company that’s coming in to refinish your floors. It should be experienced and insured. 4) Keep it green. It’s a common misconception that environmentally friendly, water-based finishes aren’t as durable as oil-modified finishes. An industry test found that waterborne finishes withstand wear and tear better than most oil-modified finishes. Additionally, acid-cure finishes emit extremely high levels of VOCs and harmful fumes, which means people, pets and plants have to vacate the

house for two to three days. With a GREENGUARD certified, waterborne finish such as Bona’s Traffic HD, you can often walk on the floor the same day. 5) Consider a change. Refinishing can be a good time to change the color and sheen of your floors. Consult a craftsman for advice or try downloading a Floor Design Guide app. Once you’ve refinished your hardwood floors, you can keep them beautiful by using a cleaning solution specifically formulated for hardwood floors. Avoid overly acidic cleaners (such as vinegar and water) that can eat away at your new finish. Instead, look for pH-neutral cleaners that won’t leave a residue behind to bring out the best in your hardwood floors.
Set your irrigation system up for the fall season
(NAPSI)—To keep the grass greener on your side of the fence next spring, there are a few steps you should take now. For example, if you use a sprinkler system to help keep your lawn in great shape, there are certain tasks you must perform to protect your system before winter arrives. Experts recommend that you winterize your system around the middle of autumn to make certain that the job is done before any freezing occurs. The process mainly consists of getting all the water out of the lines. When water is left in the system and freezes, it can damage the valves, pipes and other system components. • Start by turning off the timer. Automatic irrigation systems have a controller or timer. Most controllers have a “rain” or “off” mode that shuts off the signals to the valves. Turning it “off” allows the controller to keep all the essential programming information stored. The only change is that the valves will not turn on. If you
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 23, 2013— Page 15
unplug or cut the power to your controller, you may need to reprogram it in the spring. • Make sure the water is off. Shutting off the irrigation main water supply helps to protect the system from damage. If your system doesn’t have a main shutoff valve, it’s a good idea to install one to protect your investment. • Wrap it up. It’s a good idea to insulate any aboveground pipes, backflow preventers and valves by wrapping them with foam insulation tape and a plastic bag. • Next, drain the pipes. People who live in regions that freeze should remove the water from pipes to protect them from freezing and bursting. There are several ways to drain pipes, including opening the valves manually and using compressed air to “blow out” the system. Since there can be some risk involved, it’s always a good idea to contact an irrigation contractor who specializes in winterization.

A well-thought-out kitchen (NAPSI)—Kitchens are becoming more than just a place to cook: According to the Research Institute for Cooking and Kitchen Intelligence, most families spend an average of 175 hours in the kitchen every month— cooking, entertaining, working and spending time together. Organizing your kitchen to meet your specific needs can make the time you spend there more enjoyable. Start by writing down how you use your kitchen and make a list of any inconveniences you notice. For example: a pile of shoes under the breakfast bar, stacks of mail on the kitchen table or no room for cookbooks. Once you have a better understanding of your needs, you can design a system that solves your organization and storage problems. Tackle your list one item at a time. For example: Keep shoes out of the kitchen by placing a shoe organizer near the most commonly used entrance. Minimize mail clutter

seating. A built-in banquette maximizes seating around a kitchen table and provides a comfy place for guests to socialize while you cook. Even if you have a small kitchen, a rolling island can be a helpful addition. Use it during dinner parties as a buffet or as a bar with an ice bucket, glasses and an assortment of cocktails. Keep cooking from turning into a chore by organizing your pantry and cabinets. For example, store pot holders, spatulas, measuring cups and spices near the stove. Cups should be kept in the cabinet closest to your refrigerator and plates and bowls near the dishwasher. If you have a pantry, invest in a storage system that maximizes space. Some systems have adjustable shelving, making room for items of various sizes. These systems can also be customized with wire drawers, excellent for storing extra dishtowels or bulky produce. A good rule of thumb is to store frequently used items between shoulder and knee height. As the role of the kitchen expands, it is becoming more important to maximize storage space to accommodate the needs of family and friends. A well-thought-out organization system can save valuable time preparing meals and make it easier to keep your kitchen clean and clutter free.

Big, colorful ideas for fixing up small spaces (NAPSI)—Making a small room appear larger can be as simple as using color creatively. To add some breathing room to a compact space, all you need are some colorful ideas. “Color is one of the easiest, most affordable ways to transform the look and feel of a room,” says David Bromstad, HGTV® star and celebrity interior designer. “When used in a few well-chosen places, such as a feature wall or statement piece of furniture, color can have a big impact in a small space.” Bromstad offers these color tips for transforming a space from tiny to airy: Create a focal point with paint. Paint a statement wall that draws attention away from the size of your space and toward something beautiful and vibrant. Bright or bold colors work well, as the wall can appear to recede, creating the illusion of space. Go big with lighter and softer colors. In areas beyond the feature wall, use lighter and softer colors to make the space seem larger. Light blues and greens add significant light subtly to a room. Coordinate your colors. Stretch your space and maximize impact by using color to coordinate your rooms and decor. Reflect upon something. Placed opposite a window or side by side, mirrors can spread
light throughout the room to make spaces feel larger. A tall mirror draws the eye up, making ceilings look taller. When angled toward your room’s focal wall, a mirror can also create the illusion of depth. Paint something unexpected. Think beyond your
walls and consider painting your mailbox or address numbers on your home, a stairway banister or a piece of furniture. Add a colorful punctuation point by transforming a bedroom nightstand bright blue or a desk chair in an unexpected orange. Everything else in
the room will appear larger. “Clever use of color adds the illusion of space and injects personality into it as well. That’s what’s great about color; you can dramatically alter the look of a room while expressing yourself in a fun way,” Bromstad adds.
A big mirror and coordinated colors can make a small room look larger and are a nice reflection on your good taste.

Smoke alarms really save lives (NAPSI)—Roughly two-thirds of house fire deaths could be avoided, it’s estimated, if all homes had working smoke alarms. Properly installed and maintained, residential smoke alarms are one of the best and least expensive ways to provide an early warning when a fire begins. If you follow these simple tips, you can ensure that your home is adequately protected by working smoke alarms. • Smoke alarms should be installed in every bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home. • Combination smoke alarms that include both ionization and photoelectric alarms offer the most comprehensive protection. An ionization alarm is more responsive to flames, while a photoelectric alarm is more responsive to a smoldering fire. • For the best protection, smoke
Smoke alarms should be in every bedroom and on every level of the house.
alarms should be interconnected, so they all sound if any one of them sounds. • Purchase smoke alarms from a reputable retailer you trust. • Choose alarms that bear the label of a nationally recognized testing laboratory. • Install smoke alarms at least 10 feet from cooking appliances to reduce the possibility of nuisance
alarms. • If possible, alarms should be mounted in the center of a ceiling. If mounted on a wall, they should be six to 12 inches below the ceiling. • Avoid locating alarms near bathrooms, heating appliances, windows or ceiling fans. • Never paint over a smoke alarm. • Smoke alarms should be tested once a month by pressing the TEST button. • Replace the smoke alarm batteries at least once a year. If an alarm “chirps” or “beeps” to indicate low batteries, they should be replaced immediately. • Replace the smoke alarms every 10 years.

Information sessions scheduled for Medicaid Care Management
LACONIA — The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has scheduled additional information sessions about NH’s Medicaid Care Management (MCM) program, including one which will be held, Wednesday November 6 from 6-8 p.m. at Lakes Region Community Services, 719 North Main Street, Laconia. The sessions are for Medicaid clients who are eligible to participate in MCM when it begins on December 1. Enrollment materials were mailed to eligible clients in September. MCM Open Enrollment (the period of time during which clients pick their health plan) is underway in preparation of the December 1 start date. “These information sessions are an opportunity for our clients to learn about the new MCM Program, how they enroll in a Health Plan and what they can expect when the new Program begins December 1,” said DHHS Associate Commissioner Mary Ann Cooney. “We know our clients have questions, so this is also a chance to get those questions answered in person by members of our enrollment and eligibility staff. There will also be representatives from each of the 3 Health Plans at these sessions.” DHHS has finalized four additional information sessions in Concord, Derry, Laconia and Nashua. Seating is limited at some locations so DHHS is asking anyone planning to attend any of the ses see next page

Artistic Roots will introduce four new member artists who have joined he Co-operative Art Gallery over the past few months. Cari Ordway is a jeweler who specializes in bead woven pieces. “I have been beading for 10 years, but I have also recently began working in precious metal clay and silversmithing.’’ says Ordway. The gallery also celebrates Carole Halsey Keller, an extremely accomplished oil painter. Donna Waeger of Groton also joined the gallery this summer as a fiber artist. Donna knits lovely sweaters and scarves and is co-leading a Sunday afternoon knitting group at Artistic Roots. The most recent addition to the talented group is Ken Hamilton, recently of Plymouth. Hamilton launched his photographic career in a darkroom working for a large print company in Flagstaff, AZ. It was there that he developed his creative appetite for a diverse subject matter. from preceding page sions to RSVP (unless otherwise noted) by email to Teri Jones at TMJones@dhhs.state.nh.us or by calling Teri at 603-271-9404. Indicate any needs such as ASL, Large Print or alternative formats when you RSVP.
“We are also pleased to have several visiting artists who have joined us beginning this month and displaying their work for sale through January,” says Lynn Haust, current President of Artistic Roots. Visiting artists to be featured include Andrew Thompson, gifted wildlife photographer from Wonalancet. Andrew owns Wild Light Images and visitors to Artistic Roots are sure to be impressed with his vivid images of many of New England’s beloved animal residents. Another guest artist is potter Sue Henke. Her handmade cups, bowls and saucers have already caused much excitement among shoppers, with the vivid glaze colors being a common comment. Nancy Conklin also joins the group and adds dimension and beauty with her fabulous quilting. She offers a diverse grouping of precision work ranging from small wall art and table runners to full size quilts. Shoppers are sure to be enthralled with the charming hand-woven baskets and whimsical gourds of Jane Darling of Canaan. According to Debbie Johnson, Coordinator of the Visiting Artist Program,”Jane does something new that we have never been able to offer at Artistic Roots and we are so excited about her work!” Rounding out the Visiting Artist’s display is oil painter Mary Walker, of New Hampton. Walker is a modern impressionist and award-winning painter who enjoys the challenge of capturing a moment in time while exploring the colors and textures within her view. Much of her inspiration comes from discovering intimate scenes while walking the back roads and beaches of New England.

A Department of Lakes Region General Hospital
TUFTONBORO — Bring the kids and explore the life cycle of landlocked salmon, fish prized by anglers on New Hampshire’s big lakes, at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department’s annual “Salmon Sunday” event on Sunday, November 10, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Pope Dam in Melvin Village. Pope Dam is nine miles north of Wolfeboro on Route 109 in the town of Tuftonboro. “Salmon Sunday is a great chance for everyone to get a close-up look at landlocked salmon from Lake Winnipesaukee in their fall spawning colors,” said Don Miller, fisheries biologist for the Lakes Region. “Kids love to see the big salmon, averaging about three pounds each, and watch biologists collect the eggs.” During the event, fisheries biologists will be busy harvesting, or “stripping,” eggs and milt from adult salmon. Standing knee-deep in the cold water of the Melvin River, scientists expertly relieve the colorful adult female salmon of their eggs by stroking their stomachs. Milt from the male fish is obtained in the same way, and mixed with the gold-colored eggs to fertilize them. This activity is all part of the work N.H. Fish and Game carries out each year, with support from the Federal Aid in Sport Fish Restoration Program, to maintain the landlocked salmon population in New Hampshire’s big lakes. Salmon used for the stripping demonstration are netted from Lake Winnipesaukee during October and early November. They are returned to the lake after their eggs and milt have been collected. The fertilized eggs are taken to Powder Mill Hatchery in New Durham, where they will hatch in three to four months. The salmon are raised in the hatchery for about 18 months, then stocked into Lake Winnipesaukee and other New Hampshire lakes. Fish and Game staff will be on hand to answer questions about salmon, the egg-stripping process and the stocking program that ensures these beautiful fish continue to be available in the lakes for anglers to catch. Salmon Sunday is a “rain or shine” event. Dress warmly. If you have questions about Salmon Sunday, call 603-744-5470.

Their website
tells the story, “With a desire to provide good, fresh, inexpensive food, Aaron and Reuben knew from the beginning that they wanted to make everything from scratch and use local products whenever possible.” Plymouth is Burrito Me’s second location as its original restaurant is thriving in downtown Laconia at the historic train station. With a simple, yet ever-evolving menu, Aaron and Reuben work with area farmers and vendors procuring better-tasting and harder-tofind foods and beers, connecting more directly to the communities they serve.
ALTON — “Jack the Giant Slayer” will be featured at Family Movie Night at the Gilman Library on Friday, October 25 at 7 p.m. This film tells the story of an ancient war that is reignited when a young farmhand unwittingly opens a gateway between our world and a fearsome race of giants. Unleashed on the earth for the first time in centuries, the giants strive to reclaim the land they once lost, forcing the young
man, Jack, into the battle of his life to stop them. Fighting for a kingdom, its people, and the love of a brave princess, he comes face to face with the unstoppable warriors he thought only existed in legend—and gets the chance to become a legend himself. Admission is free. Refreshments will be served. Children under the age of 10 must be accompanied by an adult.
from preceding page At 11 a.m. the marchers will assemble in front of the library and the Rev. Robert Lemieux will lead a prayer followed by the pledge of allegiance and speeches by veterans and representa-
tives. Taps will be played at 11:11 a.m. and at 11:30 the honor guard will lead the parade to the POW/MIA memorial in Hesky Park for a ceremony. Following the parade participants will return to the Legion post for lunch.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You are fine with a job well done, but you still expect yourself to do a little better the next time and still better the time after that. Raising the bar is just what you do. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Today there will be many around you who are worthy of your attention. You will take action to help someone, and because of this action, some part of you will live on. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Since your success will depend on your level of determination, it follows that you should choose projects that are so interesting that you can’t help but feel compelled to finish them. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 23). You have more patience and are therefore able to make and execute long-term plans, the likes of which have a big payoff in the end. You will top a performance record when you take advantage of a November opportunity. December focuses on your thriving personal life. May and June are the best times to invest. Taurus and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 26, 41, 38 and 2.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you’re going to be a fighter, you have to accept that getting knocked out is a real possibility. The best fighters protect themselves by keeping their gloves up. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll practice hard and develop skills. You do this because you want to improve, but also because you truly care about the group and want to serve them to the best of your ability. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are there for a friend who is suffering -- that’s a no-brainer as far as you’re concerned. Being there for a friend who is enjoying a rich success will be a good deal harder. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Everybody needs love. But you’re not going to beg for it or go around saying “love me.” Your ways are dignified. By loving yourself, you teach others to do the same. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You sense that you are protected. When you don’t know what to do, life fills in the blanks for you, or helps you out with a few excellent suggestions. It’s as though the fates are rooting for you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Think about what you’ve been repeating lately and whether it’s really good for you. It is far easier to fall into a habit than to get out of it, especially when that habit is supported by the other elements of your lifestyle. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The one who suggested that “you can’t be a friend to everybody” just doesn’t know you very well. You give people a rare quality of attention. It doesn’t take a lot of time to make a person feel seen and understood. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll observe someone you admire. You wouldn’t want to be just like this person, but there is a side of your personality that resonates with what this person is doing. It’s worth further exploration. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In order to take pride in what you do, you first have to do something you can be proud of. Today you begin a cycle of behavior you’ll later be honored for.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 23, 2013— Page 27
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 23, the 296th day of 2013. There are 69 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 23, 1983, 241 U.S. service members, most of them Marines, were killed in a suicide truck-bombing at Beirut International Airport in Lebanon; a near-simultaneous attack on French forces killed 58 paratroopers. On this date: In 1864, forces led by Union Gen. Samuel R. Curtis repelled Confederate Gen. Sterling Price’s army in the Civil War Battle of Westport in Missouri. In 1910, Blanche S. Scott became the first woman to make a public solo airplane flight, reaching an altitude of 12 feet at a park in Fort Wayne, Ind. In 1915, tens of thousands of women marched in New York City, demanding the right to vote. In 1941, the Walt Disney animated feature “Dumbo” premiered in New York. In 1942, during World War II, Britain launched a major offensive against Axis forces at El Alamein in Egypt, resulting in an Allied victory. In 1954, West Germany was invited to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which it did the following year. In 1956, a student-sparked revolt against Hungary’s Communist rule began; as the revolution spread, Soviet forces started entering the country, and the uprising was put down within weeks. In 1973, President Richard Nixon agreed to turn over White House tape recordings subpoenaed by the Watergate special prosecutor to Judge John J. Sirica. In 1980, the resignation of Soviet Premier Alexei N. Kosygin was announced. In 1987, the U.S. Senate rejected, 58-42, the Supreme Court nomination of Robert H. Bork. In 1991, Cambodia’s warring factions and representatives of 18 other nations signed a peace treaty in Paris. In 1995, a jury in Houston convicted Yolanda Saldivar of murdering Tejano singing star Selena. (Saldivar is serving a life prison sentence.) In 2001, The nation’s anthrax scare hit the White House with the discovery of a small concentration of spores at an offsite mail processing center. President George W. Bush announced he had authorized money for improved post office security following the deaths of two postal workers from inhalation anthrax. Ten years ago: As thousands of anti-war demonstrators protested outside, President George W. Bush thanked Australia for sending troops to Iraq and Afghanistan as he spoke to the country’s Parliament. Five years ago: Badgered by lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan denied the nation’s economic crisis was his fault but conceded the meltdown had revealed a flaw in a lifetime of economic thinking and left him in a “state of shocked disbelief.” One year ago: In a debate with Democratic rival Joe Donnelly, Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock said that when a woman becomes pregnant during rape, “that’s something God intended.”

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I love my job, but I constantly see favoritism among the management staff. One in particular frustrates me. “Joe” was hired because of “what he brings to the table.” What he brings to the table is sitting at his desk surfing the Internet, talking to his friends and family, and playing games on his phone. In the meantime, the rest of us are working hard and getting nowhere. Why is it that people who pretend to work are the ones who get promoted? It just doesn’t make sense. Are employers really that blind? I’ve tried talking to my manager, who does nothing, as well as human resources, which sends me back to the manager. I get nowhere. I don’t want to come across as a bitter employee or a tattletale, but it is frustrating to see this type of behavio r, and it brings down office morale, causing tension and friction. How do I make this stop? -- Working Hard Dear Working: If you have taken the matter to the manager and human resources without result, there is nothing more you can do through normal channels. What’s left is your personal response. If you like your job and wish to stay, you’ll have to ignore Joe and whatever his “table” lacks, in the hope that someday he will be found out and your hard work will be appreciated. Your second option is to look for another job where management takes these things seriously. Dear Annie: After having no contact with us in 23 years, my husband’s nephew decided to move back to our state with his wife and build a new home. My husband agreed to do the plumbing for nothing, but at the very least expected to be paid a small amount for the three 40-mile trips he drove to perform the work. This apparently never entered his nephew’s mind. Also, in the three years since the home was built, we never have been invited to family gatherings there, not even those that included the nephew’s mother (my husband’s
sister). Should my husband say something or remain quiet in order to keep the peace? -- Annoyed Aunt Dear Aunt: First of all, if your husband said he would do the work for free, the nephew no doubt assumed that included all associated costs. Of course, it would have been gracious and considerate to offer some reimbursement for the trip, but if your husband expected remuneration, he needed to make it clear from the start. Since he did not, it’s pointless to hold onto that grudge. Invitations are a separate matter. You had no contact with this nephew for 23 years, so obviously, the relationship is not close. A dinner invitation would have been a nice “thank you” for the plumbing, but it likely didn’t occur to the nephew to do so. We don’t believe it is an intentional slight. So, have you invited them to your home for dinner? That would be a good place to start warming up this relationship, teaching him nicely how to extend hospitality. Dear Annie: This is in response to “Worried Grandma in Illinois,” whose granddaughter is being force-fed by her mother and stepmother. I am an occupational therapist who works with infants, toddlers and young children. I spend a great deal of time working with feeding problems and picky eating. Many children are picky eaters at one time or another. However, force-feeding will result in picky eating turning into a significant problem. Stepping back and making mealtime a fun and positive experience will eventually lead to better eating. The parents should talk to their pediatrician and seek further evaluation. Many times picky eating can be due to reflux, oral motor delays or oral hypersensitivity, which results in the child having a stronger gag reflex than is typical. These areas can be treated medically or with the intervention of an occupational therapist. -- O.T. from Michigan

LACONIA — The GED Exam has helped provide adult learners, who dropped out of high school, to obtain the equivalent of a high school completion. Beginning in January 2014, New Hampshire will no longer be offering the GED Exam. New Hampshire was the second state to announce that it will begin offering the HiSET (high school equivalency test). The HiSET Test was developed by non-profit Educational Testing Service (ETS) and the University of Iowa’s Testing Program (ITP). New Hampshire joins an increasing number of states, educators, policymakers and employers looking for a high school proficiency exam that includes elements that are critical to providing out-of-school youth and adults with proof of their readiness for the workplace or higher education. Laconia Adult Education is urging individuals in the Lakes Region who have taken the GED Exam and failed it or who have only taken parts of the GED Exam
to come in and finish the GED Exam before December 12, 2013. The scores on the current GED Exam wil lnot be carried over to the HiSET Test. This means that you will have to start all over again. The HiSET test’s five subject areas – writing, social studies, science, reading, and math-will be revised to more closely reflect Common Core State Standards, a set of English and Mathematics standards and topics that students are expected to learn. The new HiSET Test will also have either a paper based test as well as a computer based test. Laconia Adult Education offers both daytime and evening GED/HiSET Test preparation classes that are free. The daytime classes meet Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. The evening classes meet on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6-8:30 p.m. For more information about the GED or HiSET preparation classes or testing dates, please call the Laconia Adult Education Office at 524-5712.
GMILANTON — The Gilmanton Craft Fair will be held on November 30 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Any crafters looking to participate can purchase a space by Friday,
