‘Inherit the Wind’: Theory of Evolution on trial in LHS auditorium Mr Bannister (Lisa Humphreys) and Matthew Harrison Brady (Taylor Gagne) participate in the jury selection scene from Laconia High School Theatre Arts production of “Inherit the Wind” . A fictionalized telling of the events surrounding the famous “Scopes Monkey Trial” in Tennessee in 1925, the play deals with the teaching of James Darwin’s theory of evolution in a rural culture that was very much Bible centered. Performances in the school’s auditorium will be Thursday and Friday nights at 7 and a matinee on Saturday afternoon at 2. Tickets, priced at $7 for adults and $5 for seniors and students, will be available at the door. The play is directed by Bernie Campbell. (Karen Bobotas/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
Cormier authors bill to eliminate regional planning commissions BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONCORD — Representative Jane Cormier (R-Alton) has introduced legislation that would do away with the state’s nine regional planning commissions by 2015. The intent of the bill, she said, is not only to repeal
but also to replace the commissions by authorizing cities and towns to enter cooperative and collaborative arrangements at their discretion. The regional planning commissions have been a frequent target of Cormier’s weekly column in“The Weirs Times” since the advent of
the Granite State Future initiative, a three-year project aimed at developing regional master plans that would be melded into a statewide plan. The project is funded by a $3.37-million grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Cormier is among those who believe that the regional planning commissions are the stalking horses of a federal effort, pursued under the aegis of Granite State Future, to promote “Smart Growth” and “sustainable living” at the expense see CORMIER page 10

Colebrook gunpowder plant owner convicted of negligent homicide related to explosion
LANCASTER (AP) — The owner of a gunpowder plant where an explosion shook nearby buildings and killed two workers was convicted on Wednesday of negligent homicide and manslaughter. Craig Sanborn owned the Black Mag plant in Colebrook, where the 2010 explosion killed 56-year-old Donald Kendall, of Colebrook, and 49-year-old Jesse Kennett, of nearby Stratford. The force of the explosion rattled buildings and sent plumes of black smoke into the air. Dozens of homes were evacuated, and firefighters couldn’t get close to the burning site for several hours because ammunition was exploding. Prosecutor John McCormick argued that Sanborn, who was found guilty by a jury in Coos County Superior see BLAST page 5

Mass. 14-year-old accused of murdering math teacher DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — A well-liked teacher was found slain in woods behind this quiet Massachusetts town’s high school, and a 14-year-old boy who was found walking along a state highway overnight was charged with killing her. Blood found in a second-floor school bathroom helped lead investigators to the body of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher at Danvers High School who was reported missing when she didn’t come home from work on Tuesday, Essex Dis-
trict Attorney Jonathan Blodgett said. “She was a very, very respected, loved teacher,” Blodgett said. The suspect, Philip Chism, was arraigned on a murder charge Wednesday and ordered held without bail. The teenager, described by classmates as soft-spoken and pleasant, also did not come home from school the day before and was spotted walking along Route 1 in the neighboring town of Topsfield at about 12:30 a.m. Wednesday. Officials didn’t release a cause of death
and haven’t discussed a motive in the killing. A court filing said Ritzer and Chism were known to each other from the high school, but it did not elaborate. The arrest was made based on statements by the suspect and corroborating evidence at multiple scenes, investigators said in court documents. Ritzer’s family said they are mourning the death of their “amazing, beautiful daughter and sister.” “Everyone that knew and loved Colleen see TEACHER page 8
DENVER (AP) — A Colorado judge Wednesday ordered the release of the 1999 grand jury indictment in the killing of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey, possibly shedding light on why prosecutors decided against charging her parents in her death. Senior District Judge J. Robert Lowenbach ruled that the indictment signed by the grand jury foreman constituted an official action and must be released Friday. A reporter for the Daily Camera and the
Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press filed a lawsuit to seek the records. In the ruling, Lowenbach noted that District Attorney Alex Hunter prepared possible charges against John Ramsey and his wife, Patsy, three years after the death. The indictment has remained sealed for 14 years because Hunter decided against pursuing charges, but officials have never explained that decision. JonBenet’s body was found bludgeoned and
strangled in her family’s home in Boulder on Dec. 26, 1996. Former District Attorney Mary Lacy said in 2008 that DNA evidence suggests the killer was a stranger, not a family member, and she announced that she planned to treat the Ramseys as victims of the crime. JonBenet Ramsey’s mother, Patsy, died of cancer in 2006. Earlier this week, John Ramsey asked officials to release the entire grand jury see JONBENET page 13
CONWAY (AP) — Law enforcement officials searching for a 15-year-old girl last seen two weeks ago walking home from school are growing frustrated that no solid leads have emerged, the lead FBI agent on the search said Wednesday. Police continue to conduct targeted
searches for Abigail Hernandez, who was last seen leaving Kennett High School at 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 9, said Kieran Ramsey, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s Boston division. A timeline shows Abigail walked home from school and exchanged several text
messages with a friend until shortly before 3 p.m. The last signal from her phone came at 3:07 p.m. on the west side of Cranmore Mountain Resort, 2.5 miles from Abigail’s home in North Conway. Police say unconfirmed sightings put Abigail on the road see MISSING page 12

After years of planning & fundraising, first shovel is turned on Weirs Community Park BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — “It’s been a long, long struggle,” Don Richards said yesterday as work began on the Weirs Community Park, a project he has pursued for almost two decades. As a backhoe sifted boulders from loam in the background, Richards and his wife Connie joined Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation, and his deputy Amy Lovisek along with City Councilor Ava Doyle (Ward 1), Luke Powell, assistant director of Public Works, Casey Crane of Broadview Construction Corporation, and Mick Sceggell of Dubois & King, Inc. to mark the occasion. The park is being developed on a 25-acre wooded tract adjacent to the Community Center/fire station and bordered on the west by Lucerne Avenue, which the city acquired with a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund administered by the National Park Service in 1979. Archaeological studies undertaken in 1990 and 2009 found evidence of an Abenaki village. Richards said in the late 19th century a local entrepreneur returned from Switzerland intending to build an alpine village on the site, hence Lucerne Avenue. The trails through the property follow the streets intended to serve the subdivision. Between 1890 and 1945 the land served as a stomping ground for the girls of Camp Arcadia, who passed through a stone arch, which still stands, to church services, sing-alongs and other activities. Most of the land will remain in its natural wooded state. Likewise, the stone walls and stone arch will be preserved. A pavilion with adjoining picnic area and play area will be built east of the existing parking area and an outdoor amphitheater, with seating for audiences of 120, with an attached restroom, which will serve as a dressing room, to the north. The architecture of the pavilion and equipment of the playground will mimic the rustic setting of the park. The existing trails will be rehabilitated with

picnic areas, benches and gazebos where they cross one another. A boardwalk, with an overlook at its center, would span the wetland on the site. The history of the property will be incorporated into the park with signage. Richards said that he is working with the Abenaki Tribal Council to prepare information about the relationship the Native Americans enjoyed with The Weirs and the site in particular. He said that a resident of the Taylor Community attended Camp Arcadia and has the
daily logs from 1933 and 1934, which picture how the girls enjoyed their summers on the site. Richards and Dunleavy credited former director of Parks and Recreation Director Phil Rowley with the success of the project. “He was with us from the very beginning,” said Richards, “in the pipe dream stage.” Rowley, he said, regularly urged the city to invest in the development of the park as well as negotiated to develop the park with state officials responsible prosee next page

Youth Center to start Gilford Got Lunch! program for hungry kids in summer of ‘14 BY MICHAEL KITCH GILFORD — Got Lunch! — the successful Laconia program that provides lunches to less-fortunate school children in the summer — is coming to Gilford. Tom Francouer, who sits on the board of the Gilford Youth Center told selectmen last night that in coordination with the Gilford School District, he and his board realized the need in Gilford was much greater than initially thought. “People forget that not all families live in middle-to upper-class homes,” said Selectman Gus Benavides who offered to help deliver the lunch bags when the program begins. According to Francoeur and citing statistics given to him from the school district, 26 percent of the school district’s children qualify for the federal free or reduced-price lunch program and in total that’s 313 at-risk children. He said the cost per child per summer is estimated to be about $110 and he expects that at least 150 Gilford children will take advantage of it 2014. Grocery bags typically include bread, canned meats, peanut butter
and other non-perishables and a diary product voucher that can be spent at local grocery stores. Benavides said that number continues to grow, noting that it wasn’t all that long ago when the number of free and reduced-price lunch children was at 20 percent. Francouer said the Got Lunch! program in Gilford aims to provide one meal a day for five days during the summer months, when the schools are closed. He said the program’s goal is to someday provide enough food for one meal seven days a week. He said the Gilford program will be designed like the original Laconia Got Lunch! program. Each Monday during the summer, volunteers bring a grocery bag of food to each family with enough lunch items for all of the eligible children in the family. “When I went to volunteer in Laconia they said, ‘where have you been?’” he said, noting the Laconia organization then pointed out that some Gilford children have similar needs. Francoeur said donations of food or money can be made at the Gilford Youth Center.
BLAST from page 2 Court, had been motivated by profits. “Obviously, we’re pleased the jury came back with guilty verdicts and that justice was done for the victims’ families,” McCormick said after the verdict. McCormick told jurors that Sanborn, of Maidstone, Vt., was reckless in manufacturing, testing and storing the black powder and failed to adequately train and protect workers. He told them Sanborn also was trying to meet conditions of an ambitious and lucrative contract for which he’d already received a $300,000 down payment. Sanborn’s lawyer, Mark Sisti, countered that the explosion could have
been caused by employee error, a stray piece of metal that created friction inside a machine, a worker smoking in violation of the rules or a machine that was running too fast. He noted that Sanborn was in North Carolina the day of the explosion and had no control over the plant or the conditions that led to the blast. He said he and his client were “disappointed” after the verdict. “We were shocked,” he said. “And, of course, we will be preparing for an appeal.” Sanborn, 64, faces up to 30 years in prison on each of two counts of manslaughter and up to seven years on each count of negligent homicide. A sentencing date has not been set.
from preceding page tecting for its archaeological resources and natural environment. “We crept forward over the years,” Richards recalled, “raised a lot of money.” He said that after the parking lot was completed most of the money was raised by parking motorcycles during Bike Week. This year the city
complemented the funds raised by the Weirs Community Center and Weirs Action Committee with a $550,000 appropriation to complete the project. Dunleavy said that the contractor estimates the work can be done in 120 days and “weather permitting we’re aiming for Memorial Day.”

Bipartisanship the norm when sugar payoffs rule Ever notice how some government programs draw the ire of almost everyone? Conservatives, liberals, environmentalists, libertarians, business, labor, consumers and grouchy taxpayers are all opposed. Yet these programs go on as though directed by an unstoppable particle beam from a neighboring galaxy. The public rarely sees who in Washington keeps the outrage in motion, and that’s how “they” get away with it. The sugar support program is one such curiosity. We will get into the “who” and “how,” but first an explanation of why almost everyone hates it. Americans pay about three times the world price of sugar because of a complex farm program designed to greatly enrich U.S. sugar growers and processors, in actuality a handful of families. Among other things, it limits imports of far cheaper sugar from impoverished Caribbean countries. It provides taxpayer-backed loans: If prices slip, the borrowers repay their loans with sugar, which taxpayers must sell at a loss or store at their own expense. In sum, the policy provides a government-guaranteed income to cane sugar producers in Florida and sugar beet growers in Minnesota and Michigan. Who pays? American consumers, for starters. The manipulated price of sugar amounts to a tax estimated at $3 billion a year. The domestic sugar industry argues that 142,000 jobs would be lost if the sugar program ended. But the Commerce Department reported in 2006 that inflated sugar prices kill three manufacturing jobs for every sugar-growing and -processing job saved. Many U.S. candymakers have seen no choice but to move factories and their jobs to countries with normal sugar prices. Among the examples: — Atkinson Candy Co., of Lufkin, Texas, recently sent most of its peppermint candy production to Guatemala. “It’s a damn shame,” company President Eric Atkinson told The Wall Street Journal, he had to move 60 jobs to Central America that should have stayed here. — Jelly Belly Candy Co., based in Fairfield, Calif., has again expanded
its factory in Thailand. Sugar makes up half the cost of the product, Jelly Belly President Bob Simpson said. High U.S. sugar costs have forced him to raise his prices several times over the past 10 years. Reluctant to take their small family-owned businesses to other countries, domestic candy-makers had been reducing the amount of sugar in their product. It is no accident that from 2002 to 2012, imported candy contained 33 percent more sugar. As Congress debated last spring whether to continue the program, Big Sugar’s lobbying force, the American Sugar Alliance, ran an ad in The Washington Post, hotly headlined “Big Candy’s Greed.” The candy-makers, the ad charged, were trying “to boost their already bloated profits.” In Florida, meanwhile, the giant sugar plantations — propped up by taxpayers and abused consumers — dump fertilizer runoff into the Everglades, threatening the state’s precious water sources. It should surprise no one that the American Sugar Alliance greatly out-spent the confectioners to win the affections of our elected representatives. Thus, in a recent close vote, the House again saved the program. Followers of partisan politics will be intrigued to see so-called liberals combining with so-called conservatives to preserve this travesty. On the Democratic side, Florida Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Alcee Hastings both voted for the program. On the Republican side, House Speaker John Boehner and Rep. Frank Lucas, of Oklahoma and chair of the House Agriculture Committee, also voted in favor. As he backed the government shutdown, Lucas was speechifying for a budget “that reduces spending and eliminates waste and abuse in government programs.” How the politicians get away with this is simple: The voters aren’t paying attention. Only when they do will this absurdity stop. (A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)
Please write a comprehensive article about the ‘Free Staters’ To The Daily Sun, Please publish a comprehensive article about the “Free Staters”. I’ve heard a great deal about them but I know nothing of them. I’ve read that the “Free Staters” are a reason that the Concord police chief
wants to acquire a Bearcat vehicle for his city. The article I envision should focus on what the “Free Staters” are. Leave the Bearcat out if you editorially agree. Bill Carberry Plymouth
LETTERS Those of us who support wind power must raise our voices soon To The Daily Sun, After my article in several papers about a different perspective on the wind industry, I have heard many great comments from people who seemingly support the turbines in N.H. In this letter I will point to some common sense reasons why so many seem to support it. A small group of people from the N.H. Wind Watch group seem to be making all the racket and causing all the uproar. Often those who hate to see changes are the ones who cause the most trouble for the rest of us. On so many occasions I see articles in several of the local papers opposing the turbines and more often than not they are by the same person or persons. Did I mention that some of these individuals do not even come from N.H. yet head up the Wind Watch group because they own some land here. They are exports or imports, not sure which, from our lovely southern neighboring state of Massachusetts. I have no problem with Massachusetts, but I really do not think that persons who work or live elsewhere should be making choices for those who have lived and worked in N.H. most of their life. Recently I read an article where they were harping about Mass., Vermont, and Maine needing energy from our state for Massachusetts. Isn’t that a double standard? Where do they get their information might I ask? Here I will put to rest some of the rumors and twisted truths with mere common sense. Turbines do not kill dangerous amounts of birds. I often hear how the turbines will kill tons of birds as if the birds do not know how to fly elsewhere or know how to maneuver through possibly strong wind currents. I am sure some birds do fall victim to getting struck on occasion. Birds have very good survival skills and some types of animals will benefit if one does get struck. I like birds too. How many wildlife animals, fish, and other living things have been killed by the oil industry or others? What if they drilled oil in the hills of Groton or Lempster and 206 million gallons of oil were spilled there (like BP in the Gulf of Mexico)? Would that be better? It sure makes me glad we don’t live in the ocean. We do have fuel trucks though and I understand they’re necessary.
to what it takes to operate almost any other energy industry, wind is relatively inexpensive. With about 8000 components in a turbine, they create and require local maintenance, transportation, and regulation jobs. Gas and oil has to be drilled to get deep from the ground, transported and processed giving it plenty of hazardous situations. Coal has to be mined in other peoples backyards, and in other states and countries (not ours) and also transported. Nuclear can be dangerous and hazardous waste results from being used which also needs to be disposed of. Hydro-electric is good as long as water is plentiful and available, but creates challenges for some fish species. Wind power is relatively local produced and self reliant. Wind power creates local tax revenue. Wind power companies usually give a portion of the power profits generated to the local towns they reside in. This is a decent alternative to an income or sales tax here in N.H. More money saved from property taxes means more money used in our local economy. Wind does not cause pollution. Other than some slight annoyance at night from the safety lights, there are no emissions or water pollution that happens from wind. A well maintained and efficient turbine will create an environmentally friendly source of electricity for our state and/ or our communities. Even though we see the truth in the benefits, we still may sit back and say “I am not opposed to the turbines but... I don’t want to get into a argument over them.” Well I personally feel it is time for us who support renewable energy such as wind to take our place and speak up to those who would have us intimidated or feeling non-controversial and let them know to “sit back down”. We aren’t stupid or ignorant but they (the opposers) will tell us whatever they want because we may feel it is too much fuss for us to become educated on our own. Thanks to all of you who have expressed your approval of my point-of-view either personally or electronically but without the addition of your voice, our voices will soon just be a thing of the past. It’s your call! Scott Patten Bristol

LETTERS How about the 6.4 million children diagnosed with A.D.H.D.?
It seems to me that Obamacare is declaring war on women
To The Daily Sun, To express concern as to our nation’s need for the Navy we have — saying it isn’t needed is really far out, such expression actually lends a bit of humor to the days thought on reading it. No humor is found in the letter published October 11 of G. Maloof, “With all due respect for the victims of 9/11, fewer than five hundred Americans have been killed by terrorism in the past 40 years.” Can this person even count or read; perhaps he was on that another planet for a time or toeing that edge referenced by our old friend Sandy. Total number killed in 9/11 terrorist attack 2,996 — add to that the +/- 500 and others not tallied. But he finds them to be incidental, it is the number of diseases (he doesn’t mention deaths) “suspected” to be caused by genetically modified organisms (GMO’s) from the U.S. corporation Monsanto/DuPont. Surprise is the one thing he has to endure as Monsanto isn’t the only entity in the business and food isn’t the only object of GMO. (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/21/ business/whats-that-smell-exoticscents-made-from-re-engineered-yeast. html?hp) This article may drive him to a cave somewhere, as the realization that there is a world of nations moving the alteration of sourcing our needs and desires (aromas & tastes et-al). Additionally, one might consider that the Russians are in a fast forward mode to cover the planet with nuclear power plants (remember Chernobyl). While the leftist anti-nuke groups effectively ended the nuclear power industry in the U.S., the rest of the world was unaffected by the “chicken little” stance. He might also consider the 6.4 million
To The Daily Sun, For some time I have been reading how Kate Miller, the Belknap County Democratic Party leader, goes on and on about how good the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is for everyone. In the past I have also heard her deride Republicans for their war on women. This supposed war on women, as she also describes it as not allowing women to get the medical care they deserve, is because the Republicans held the position that individuals should take personal responsibility to pay $4 per month in order to purchase contraceptive medicine. Instead Kate favors making churches and religious individuals violate their conscience and moral beliefs. In one of her recent letters Kate says, “I feel strongly that conclusions should be drawn from unbiased, factbased sources” to which I also agree. In my recent letter I provided facts and named the sources that show how Obamacare is reducing full-time jobs across this country and creating part-time jobs to fill the void. A large percentage of employers reducing positions or moving employees to parttime work are local, county and state government entities. I thought Kate was a strong supporter of educating our children and providing them the best resources available. Since a large number of these government entities are public schools then why is Kate waging a war on children? According to the Centers for Disease Control there were more than 200,000
children given the diagnoses of A.D.H.D, which it has been found erroneous. (Ref: http://www.nytimes.com/2013/10/20/ magazine/the-not-so-hidden-causebehind-the-adhd-epidemic.html?ref=mag azine&pagewanted=print) “Today many sociologists and neuroscientists believe that regardless of A.D.H.D.’s biological basis, the explosion in rates of diagnosis is caused by sociological factors — especially ones related to education and the changing expectations we have for kids.” Drugging this many of our school age children all for the sake of better test scores, federal aid, and less work for the educational establishment, I would consider to be of far greater importance than GMOs or terrorists. Another article may awaken the fallacy of Obama’s Common Core Education Standards and the Kennedy/Bush No Child Left Behind Program. (http://www.wired.com/business/2013/10/free-thinkers/) To those whom see themselves standing at the leading edge of thought, think again. There is a revolution in the works which is far ahead of any one or group. Back in the late 40s, one man’s machine freed the cotton fields of manual labors, the cotton picking machine was responsible for the migration of tens of thousands of them finding jobs in the north and a life inconceivable to them. Bar-code readers and computers changing the food distribution system and the labor and energy required, all without government. To the Maloofs, there is a world out there which you can’t control, you might focus on how to not let it control you. G.W. Brooks Meredith
Your health care is now in hands of people who can’t balance budget To The Daily Sun, Dick Devens, Jon Hoyt, Kate Miller, James Veverka, Ed Allard, and other radical leftists who believe politicians should control how you live and spend your hard earned money are rejoicing. The “adults”, President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, other elected Democrats and Republicans who forgot their campaign promises, have “won” and can force Obamacare down our throats. But not everyone has to comply with Obamacare. President Obama exempts groups, like Congress, when it is politically expedient. Big business is exempted to delay the massive layoffs and/or losses of employee health insurance that get nation-wide publicity. Senators Cruz and Lee, the “wacko birds”, and conservative House Republicans were unsuccessful in saving Americans from Obamacare. Did you, a family member, or friend lose your/their health insurance? Did premiums increase? Have you lost access to, or insurance for, your doctor or hospital? Thank the adults! Have your work hours, or those of a family member or friend been cut below 30 hours to avoid Obamacare requirements? Has anyone lost a job? Thank the adults! Have you wasted hours unsuccessfully trying to sign-up on the Obamcare exchange? Millions of people can thank the adults!
sonal information to “navigators” knowing that some aren’t fully trained and some have criminal histories? Are you concerned that your personal information will be in a government database, accessible by many thousands of people, and very susceptible to public disclosure, identity theft, or misuse? Thank the adults! Obamacare costs three times what was promised. It will raise, not lower, health care costs. We will pay for Obamacare in higher taxes, in poorer quality care, or both. Thank the adults! Obamacare taxes and regulations are eliminating low value medical services, drugs, and devices and reducing investments to create new treatments that you might need sometime. Thank the adults! Your health care is now in the hands of the adults who can’t balance the budget, who won’t stop $125 billion in fraud and waste annually, who created our $17+ trillion national debt, who promised $90 trillion more future benefits than they funded, and let 11 million illegal aliens roam our country, victimizing Americans, increasing our taxes, and harming American workers by taking scarce jobs and depressing wages. Considering the record of the “adults”, our country would be better off in the hands of the “wacko birds” and others who oppose what the “adults” have been doing. Don Ewing
women diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, of which more than 40,000 died. These are the typical numbers every year and breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer attacking women. Early detection saves lives and the American Cancer Society notes “the goal of screening exams for early breast cancer detection is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms.” The American Cancer Society recommends a Clinical Breast Exam (CBE) every three years for women in their 20s and 30s and annually for women 40 and over. They also recommend yearly mammograms starting at age 40 and continuing for as long as a woman is in good health. They call for women to start doing an annual Breast Self-Exam (BSE) in their 20s. Some women to be screened with an MRI in addition to mammograms if they have a family history, genetic tendency or other factors that put them into a higher risk category. With Obamacare these women get health care rationing. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force directly contradicts every one of these important recommendations made by the American Cancer Society. Breast cancer screening (CBE) is conducted EVERY TWO YEARS starting at age 50 and ends at age 74, under Obamacare guidelines. Our federal government doesn’t see the added benefit of screening women for breast cancer when they are 75 or older or when see next page

LETTERS Thanks for community involvement in Laconia High homecoming To The Daily Sun, Dear Community of Laconia: The Laconia High School Community wishes to thank you for your support and involvement throughout the recent Homecoming Weekend. We could not be more happy and appreciative of the many community members and agencies that chose to participate with us in celebrating our school, our alumni and our great city! It was wonderful to see so many people come out for the parade, our open house, our athletic events and the outstanding alumni activities set up by Ms. Brough. The Homecoming weekend truly demonstrates so many of the positives that this community has for those who have grown up here. We would like to thank Warren Mitchell and the many alumni who drove or rode along in the antique cars in the parade. We also thank those who provided us with convertibles for our Homecoming Court and those who were willing to allow us the usage of trailers
for the class floats. Your efforts helped make our parade a big hit this year! We would also like to thank the folks at CBH Landscaping, our local Vista and Petal Pushers for providing us with the beautiful fall themed flowers and plants. They certainly made our entrances look spectacular and welcoming to parents, alumni, students and staff throughout the entire weekend! Finally, thanks to our local Lakes Regions Party and Gifts for the balloons, Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation for their support and Lakes Region Floral Studio for the beautiful floral arrangement in the cafe. These all contributed to create a festive environment for the alumni celebration. Once again, our community excels whenever it comes together to celebrate its history and legacy and that is represented by the people who have grown up in the great city of Laconia!

Democrats & Republicans don’t have the answer; turn to God To The Daily Sun, James Veverka insults good fellow Americans and if you read his poppycock (rubbish-nonsense) letters, you will see how nasty a person he is at this time in his life. He is very offensive, never able to point us in the right direction. I feel sorry for him; he stands for what is wrong and upholds everything that has brought our nation to the brink of destruction. It’s terrible to insult so many people James, but worse still insulting that which is holy. 90 of Americans are people of faith and declare “In God we Trust”. James, it’s not Obamacare we need, our want, it’s Gods care we trust in and all people of faith from the Pope, to Billy Graham, preach Jesus Christ as our savior. Don’t insult them, you or I could not stand in their shadow.
I am going to tell you James, except we repent of our national sins, America will fall, just like the old Roman empire did. A national revival can restore us, and save our nation. The Democrats and Republicans don’t have the answers, God does, our nation was always at its greatest when we turned to God and repented, try it James, it works. By the way James, its not so-called holy water that makes us clean, but the precious blood of Jesus Christ. James, get a new life, ask Jesus to save you and then your letters will be love letters, to a loving God. Read 1 John 1:7. You will be a new man, and the people of Tilton will rejoice with you.

Hillary would not get us out of this; we need a Pres. Barry Sanders To The Daily Sun, While criticism of our drones use in Pakistan makes the news, I’m sending postcards to both Obamas: “Our USA in perpetual war and thus ‘preferring’ drones-murder in other countries is suffering illness. We drag others into our illness. It’s ill to support warmachinery industry over all other kinds of production. Hillary would not get us out of this, nor would Kerry or Biden. We need a Pres. Bernie Sand-
ers or a Pres. Dennis Kucinich. Each has integrity, cause-and-effect awareness, kindness. Not happening in D.C. at this time.” When Dr. Helen Caldicott speaks to N.H. Peace Action audience on Nov. 9th evening in Concord, I hope we hear support for our USA getting past and surviving its illness that makes warring our dominant, outreach lifestyle.

from preceding page they are younger than 50 years old. Under Obamacare women with a high risk for breast cancer will not receive an MRI and it doesn’t provide health professionals to teach women how to conduct a BSE. This sounds more like a war on women than asking someone to pay
$4 per month (either with or without health insurance) to Wal-Mart for their contraceptives. Kate, why do you hate women so much that you would support a program that reduces their ability to detect and prevent breast cancer? Greg Knytych Meredith

Harvey Beetle honored for 50 years of barbershop quartet singing & promotion
joined the Lakes Region Chordsmen. A big booster of barbershop quartet singing, Beetle is the contact person for the local group and has organized performances at places like Patrick’s Pub in Gilford and is always available for singing songs on Valentine’s Day. Earlier this year Harvey was honored along with his entire family when the Beetle family was presented with the Irwin Award at the annual Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce HERO awards. Harvey and his wife Evelyn were honored along with their sons Jeff and Allan, owners of Patrick’s Pub & Eatery, as well as Jeff’s wife, Wendy, and Allan’s wife, Jennifer. The Gilford restaurant is known for hosting charitable events large and small, as well as founding Pub Mania, which raised $160,000 last year for the WLNH Children’s Auction.

GILFORD — It’s been a good year for Harvey Beetle, who was honored Monday night at a Barbershop Open House at the Gilford Community Church where he was presented with a 50-year pin for having sung with barbershop quartets for most of his adult life. Beetle, who is the go-to-guy in organizing and recruiting new members of the Lakes Region Chordsmen, who practice every Monday night at the church, was presented with the award by Alan Lamson of Manchester, Conn., immediate past president of the Barbershop Harmony Society. The presentation took place after Beetle had wrapped up two songs that he sang with the group ‘’Rewind’’, a close-harmony vocal quartet that features pre-70’s vocal music, from doo-wop to pop to spirituals and patriotic standards. Beetle sings in ‘’Rewind’’ along with Joe Hayden of Candia, Jay Lachance of Manchester and Bob Farnham of Alton Bay. He traces his love of barbershop quartet singing back to the 1960s when he was working with an insurance company in the Bay State and he started a quartet in Walpole, Mass. “I heard a barbershop quartet, I liked that and wanted to do that sort of singing,” he says. He’s been an enthusiastic participant ever since
Absentee ballots now available
LACONIA — Absentee ballots for the general municipal election on Tuesday, November 5 are available at the City Clerk’s Office at City Hall. City Clerk Mary Reynolds reminded absentee voters that they must return their completed ballots to her office no later than 5 p.m. the day before the election, Monday, November 4, Alternatively, if they choose to mail their ballots, they must be posted in time to be delivered to the City Clerk by Election Day. Reynolds urged absentee voters to collect their ballots as soon as possible. from preceding page to Massachusetts from Tennessee before the start of the school year and was a top scorer on the school’s junior varsity soccer team, said Kyle Cahill, a junior who also plays soccer. He said the team had been wondering where Chism was when he skipped a team dinner Tuesday night. “We’re all just a family. It just amazes me really,” Cahill said. “He wasn’t violent at all. He was really the opposite of aggressive.” Ritzer had a Twitter account where she gave homework assignments, encouraged students and described herself as a “math teacher often too excited about the topics I’m teaching.” She was a 2011 graduate of Assumption College in Worcester, a school spokeswoman said Wednesday. She graduated magna cum laude with a bachelor of arts degree in math, a minor in psychology and a secondary education concentration, according to the college’s 2011 commencement program. One of her former students, Chris Weimert, 17, said she was a warm, welcoming person who would stand outside her classroom and say hello to students she didn’t teach. He said she had been at the school for two years. “She was the nicest teacher anyone could ever have. She always had a warm smile on her face,” he said. Ryan Kelleher, a senior, said students related to the young teacher, who liked to wear jeans and UGG boots just like the teenagers she taught. Kelleher, who also plays soccer, said the arrest of the soft-spoken Chism didn’t make sense to him. Ritzer lived at home with her 20-year-old brother and her sister, a high school senior. The close-knit family was often outside, barbecuing, spending time together and enjoying each other’s company, neighbors said. All public schools in Danvers, about 20 miles north of Boston, were closed Wednesday. Hundreds turned out for a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening on the parking lot of the school. Many wore pink, Ritzer’s favorite color.

Conservation Commission Chairman Ken Knowlton said that what once was a 154-foot long covered pedestrian bridge, which originally spanned the Cocheco River, was bought by the commission for $1 from the city of Dover after efforts by Dover residents to keep in that community and use it as a centerpiece for a park fell short.

Some of those “wrap-around” services, said Patterson, are nutritionists, social workers, and other non-physician services not typically provided by a primary care physician. In addition, patients can access clinical psychologists, visiting nurses for the home-bound, and nurse midwives at Health First and other similar networks. At least one local man, who asked not to be identifrom preceding page Cormier said that she has been traveling around the state to warn against the threat to local control and property rights posed by federal government agencies and regional planning commissions. “I’ll drive and I’ll talk until I can’t drive or talk anymore,” she said.
fied, said he was confused when he saw the name of his former LRGHealthcare primary care physician listed under the new Well Sense, New Hampshire Healthy Families, and Meridian managed care plans. One of the 3,500 area residents who were removed from patient rolls in late 2011 when LRGHealthcare stopped accepting primary care Medicaid users because of what were seen as inadequate government reimbursement rates, this man saw the name of his former primary care doctor at the Laconia Clinic listed when he went to the new exchanges and wanted to reestablish his relationship there. “I was told they were accepting Medicaid patients,” he said, accusing LRGHeathcare of misrepresenting themselves as participating in the exchanges. Patterson said there was no misrepresentation but allowed there could be some confusion because New Hampshire chose to roll out its managed care networks for Medicaid at the same time as joining the Anthem network for general health insurance access under the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). He said all LRGHealthcare physicians who are
specialists continue to see Medicaid patients who are referred to them by the rural health centers like Health First and that is why all of their physicians are listed on the three new exchanges created by state’s managed care system. In November of 2011, due to an operating loss of $4-million, LRGHealthcare stopped seeing adult primary care physicians at its 12 primary care offices. The 12 were Andover Family Practice; Belknap Family Practice in Belmont and Meredith; Caring for Women in Laconia, Franklin, and Moultonborough; Franklin Internal Medicine; Hillside Family Medicine in Gilford; Laconia Clinic in Laconia, Tilton and Franklin; Lakes Region Family Practice in Laconia; Moultonborough Family Practice; and New Hampton Family Practice. Patterson said the 12 above offices still provide pediatric care to children on Medicaid and the emergency rooms at Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital accept Medicaid payments. In addition to not accepting adult primary care see next page

TILTON — A local business man whose home was burglarized while he and his family were vacationing over labor Day weekend has offered a $1,500 reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the intruder(s). Charles “Chuck” Drew the owner of Camaro Heaven said he wants to feel as though he did everything he could to stop the person who burglarized his home. “You just don’t live you life the same way,” Drew said yesterday. According to Detective Cpl. Matt Dawson, the Drew’s reported the burglary when the returned to their Tilton home. He said a change jar holding thousands of dollars was removed from the home.

patients who are on Medicaid, to cope with decline revenues LRGHealthcare trimmed staff and cut some overhead costs that saved $14-million in 2011. Triggering the declining revenues were reductions in Medicaid reimbursements from the state government that began when the state Legislature stopped returning the Medical Enhancement Tax to hospitals and kept the federal match in the state’s operating budget. Patterson said the “wrap around” agencies like Health First get higher federal Medicaid reimbursements than LRGHealthcare does for primary care services and until that changes, he said it’s not likely his company will serve adult Medicaid recipients for their primary care services.

He said he has posted information on his Facebook page about the burglary but has changed the way he and his wife use the popular Internet social network sight. Dawson said Tilton Police are pursuing a number of leads and ask anyone with any information about the Drew burglary to call the the Tilton Police at 286-4442. MISSING from page 2 she normally used to go to and from school. Tips continue coming into the 1-800-CALL-FBI hotline, including information from out of state, but Ramsey said so far the leads haven’t gotten police closer to finding Abigail. “There aren’t really any significant developments in the bigger scheme of things and that’s very unfortunate and very frustrating for all the agencies involved,” he said. Police are now doing targeted searches based on specific information, Ramsey said. Since Abigail vanished, her mother, Zenya Hernandez, has made public pleas for her to stay strong and come home safely. On Oct. 12, the day Abigail turned 15, she wished her daughter a happy birthday. “The bottom line is this: You have a missing, now 15-year-old girl with no independent financial means, who has cut off communication, either voluntarily or involuntarily, with her family and loved ones,” Ramsey said. “Those factors alone continue to push us.”

Big Papi & Red Sox take game 1 of World Series, 8-1 Smith Track closed for repair BOSTON (AP) — Given a bit of help by the umpires and a lot more by the Cardinals, the Boston Red Sox turned this World Series opener into a laugher. Mike Napoli hit a three-run double right after the umps reversed a blown call, Jon Lester made an early lead stand up and the Red Sox romped past sloppy St. Louis 8-1 Wednesday night for their ninth straight Series win. David Ortiz was robbed of a grand slam by Carlos Beltran — a catch that sent the star right fielder to a hospital with bruised ribs — but Big Papi later hit a two-run homer following third baseman David Freese’s bad throw. The Red Sox also capitalized on two errors by shortstop Pete Kozma to extend a Series winning streak that began when they swept St. Louis in 2004. Boston never trailed at any point in those four games and, thanks to this embarrassing display by the Cardinals, coasted on a rollicking night at Fenway Park. It got so bad for St. Louis that the sellout crowd literally laughed when pitcher Adam Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina, who’ve combined to win six Gold Gloves, let an easy popup drop untouched between them. Serious-minded St. Louis manager Mike Matheny didn’t find anything funny, especially when the umpires huddled in the first inning and flipped a call by Dana DeMuth at second base. The six-man crew correctly ruled that Kozma had not caught a soft toss from second baseman Matt Carpenter on a slow grounder by Ortiz. A season before Major League Baseball employs full replay, fans got to see a wrong get righted. The normally slick-fielding Cardinals looked sloppy at every turn. Wainwright bounced a pickoff
throw, Molina let a pitch skitter off his mitt, center fielder Shane Robinson bobbled the carom on Napoli’s double and there was a wild pitch. The Cardinal Way? More like no way. Game 2 is Thursday night, with 22-year-old rookie sensation Michael Wacha starting for St. Louis against John Lackey. Wacha is 3-0 with an 0.43 ERA this postseason. Lester blanked the Cardinals on five hits over 7 2-3 innings for his third win this postseason. Ryan Dempster gave up Matt Holliday’s leadoff home run in the ninth. Boston brought the beards, but it was a most hairy night for St. Louis. The Cardinals wrecked themselves with just their second three-error game of the season. The umpires made a mistake, too, but at least they got to fix it in a hurry. After the control-conscious Wainwright walked leadoff man Jacoby Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia singled him to second with one out. Ortiz then hit a slow grounder to Carpenter, and it didn’t appear the Cardinals could turn a double play. Hurrying, Kozma let the backhanded flip glance off his glove. DeMuth instantly called Pedroia out, indicating that Kozma dropped the ball while trying to transfer it to his throwing hand. Boston manager John Farrell quickly popped out of the dugout to argue while Pedroia went to the bench. Farrell argued with every umpire he could and must’ve made a persuasive case. As the fans hollered louder and louder as they studied TV replays, all the umpires gathered on the dirt near shortstop and conferred and decided there was no catch at all.
LACONIA — The Parks and Recreation Department announced Wednesday that Smith Track at Opechee Park will be closed to the public until further notice. Wednesday afternoon brought in A Cape & Island Track & Tennis construction crew started work on resurfacing the track on Wednesday afternoon. The department is hesitant to give a date of reopening as there are always delays in construction. Officials ask that no one goes on the track while it’s under construction as that would only delay the reopening. For any other questions or concerns call 524-5046.
JONBENET from page 2 record if the unprosecuted indictment was made public. However, the judge said transcripts of grand jury proceedings and evidence presented to it are not considered “official action” under the law governing criminal court records. He also said releasing such information could hurt other grand juries, whose work is secret. An attorney representing John Ramsey, L. Lin Wood, said he’s confident that no evidence in the grand jury case implicated the Ramsey family and the public should be able to see that for themselves. “Anything less than the release of all of the proceedings is a gross injustice to the Ramsey family,” he said.

ACCIDENT?
LACONIA — Laconia High School Theatre Arts will present the classic play “Inherit the Wind” at the school’s Piper Auditorium tonight and tomorrow, Friday, October 25 at 7 p.m. with a 2 p.m. matinee on Saturday, October 26. Written by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee, “Inherit the Wind” is a fictionalized account of the famous “Scopes Monkey Trial”. In the story, science teacher Bertram Cates, portrayed by Sebastian Huot, is jailed for violating a Tennessee State Law prohibiting the teaching of Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. The case sets up a titanic clash between two of the greatest attorneys in America, the traditionalist orator and presidential candidate Matthew Harrison Brady (Taylor Gagne), and the folksy agnostic Henry Drummond (John Hammond). In response to the case all of the townsfolk, led by the town’s minister, Rev. Brown (Denis Zecevic) turn out to see their hero, Brady, who prosecutes Cates in order to defend the Biblical account of the creation. An issue comes to the forefront however, when the minister’s daughter, Rachel (Brittney Pond), falls love with the beleaguered teacher, and is torn by
divided loyalties. Cates is represented by Drummond, who has been hired by the Baltimore Herald reporter E.K. Hornbeck (Ashlee Neylon), the cynical critic of everyone and everything. The story builds to a dramatic courtroom confrontation between Brady and Drummond that leaves everyone stunned, and leaves the audience to question not only the value of science and progress, but the power of tradition. Some people may find the show controversial, but in the end, there’s a balance to the two views. “Some people may not realize it, but while this show takes place in the 1920s, the creationism versus evolution debate is still alive in many parts of this country. So this show is as fresh and relevant as the day it was written,” said the Director, Bernie Campbell. The actors have been preparing since the beginning of school year for the show, and have persevered through adversity. “We had to change one of our lead actors about two weeks ago,” Campbell added. “But I dare you to figure out which one.” Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Tickets may be purchased at the door. For more information call Campbell at 524-3350, ext. 4616.
from preceding page On July 27, select Irving Oil and Circle K locations hosted “To Serve and Protect Day,” where Special Olympics athletes, coaches, and local law enforcement officers worked alongside Irving Oil and Circle K employees to pump fuel, wash windshields, and greet customers at local Irving Oil Service Stations, Travel Plazas, and Circle K locations throughout New England. “Our partnership with Irving Oil
and Circle K increases awareness of our mission and allows Special Olympics programs across New England to continue to serve children and adults with intellectual disabilities through the dollars raised from their support,” said Mary Conroy, President of Special Olympics New Hampshire. Irving Oil also made a corporate donation of $100,000 to be split across all six New England state chapters. Since 1999, Irving Oil has helped raise over $2.8 million for Special Olympics.

Winni Players to present radio play version of Frankenstein on Fri. & Sat.
MEREDITH — The Winnipesaukee Playhouse’s stage will be presenting a spooky performance, led by WLNH’s Pat Kelly in a radio play version of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. The performances will be conducted on Friday, October 25 and Saturday, October 26 at 7:30 p.m. Part radio-style broadcast, part live-action, the Winni Players Community Theatre group will present Phillip Grecian’s adaptation of the classic Gothic story, set in a 1940s radio studio. Pat Kelly will portray the infamous scientist Victor Frankenstein. He will be joined by Winni Players regulars David Bownes, Howard Amsden, Steven S. Richmond, Ginny Barunas, Jubilee Morris and Katie Dunn. In addition to Kelly, performers who are new to the Playhouse stage include Dana Gardner, Tikatia Morris
and Maggie Braxton. In homage to actual radio broadcasts, director Brett Billings will appear onstage as will foley artist Lord Adam Young and his assistant, Nikolai Fernandez. Billings says, “While radio theater today is often a great chance to see the onstage nuts and bolts of a play, I also want to challenge people to really listen to what a radio drama sounds like. I think once we do that, we can have a lot of fun seeing the full 1940s radio studio, period costumes, studio signals, and especially the live sound effects.” Tickets for Frankenstein: A Radio Play are $10 and available at www. winnipesaukeeplayhouse.org or by calling (603) 279-0333. Seating is general admission and doors will open a half hour prior to showtime.
More than 600 volunteer to be bone marrow donors at drive in Plymouth
PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University’s Student Nursing Association, in partnership with DKMS, a global non-profit organization, teamed up September 24 to enlist bone marrow donor volunteers on the PSU campus and the Plymouth Town Green. PSU Nursing Assistant Professor Sandra Gamble said more than 600 students and community residents volunteered to be bone marrow donors.
“It’s a great way to get the whole community involved in potentially saving somebody’s life, in terms of a community service project, you can’t beat something like this,” Gamble said. Bone marrow is the soft, fatty tissue inside bones. Stem cells are immature cells in the bone marrow that give rise to all of the body’s blood cells. When someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer, one of their best hopes for sur-

Lakes Region Community Services receives Excellence in Leadership award LACONIA — Lakes Region Community Services (LRCS) is proud to announce that the agency has received the 2013 Excellence in Nonprofit Management Award. LRCS Executive Director Christine Santaniello accepted the award on September 20, at the Annual Nonprofit Leadership Summit. This prestigious award is given annually by The Corporate Fund in tribute to Walter J. Dunfey, New Hampshire business leader and philanthropist. Walter J. Dunfey was a successful entrepreneur and business executive, a co-founder and director of Dunfey Hotels (now known as Omni International Hotels) and subsequently The Dunfey Group. The Corporate Fund ‘Dunfey Award’ in partnership with the NH Charitable Foundation recognizes that management in the nonprofit sector is among the most demanding and most important work in our society. Often, effective management within the nonprofit community goes unrecognized. This ‘Excellence in Management’ award is presented for outstanding management skill and talent within the nonprofit sector. “The Corporate Fund Nonprofit Management Award applications were very impressive,” said speaker
Cameron Tease of Markem-Imaje, who presented the award. “It was difficult to make a decision among the distinguished list of nonprofits. The winners stood apart for their excellence. LRCS really impressed the judges with its nimble and innovative work in job development, its depth of commitment to those it serves, its success in selling tax credits to 37 area businesses for its relocation, its caring management practices for a staff of 350 and the effective leadership all around.” Upon reflecting on this honor, Santaniello commented that the dedication and hard work of all agency employees have played a role in achieving this recognition. “I am extremely proud of the work of all of the LRCS Employees,” said Santaniello. “As I have said on more than one occasion, everyone associated with the organization contributes their piece to the whole. No one person is solely responsible for the success or trials of the organization. So while I accepted the award on behalf of the organization, it is a tribute to everyone who plays a role in supporting the families and individuals we serve. I am very proud of this organization and who we are.” As a recipient of this award, LRCS
Lakes Region Community Services receives the Dunfey Award for excellence in management practices at the recent Nonprofit Leadership Summit.

also receives and unrestricted award of $3,500. The agency’s Board of Directors has decided that these funds will
go to the LRCS Employee Assistance Fund in honor of the employees that made this possible.

Correction– Pot luck fund raiser in Alton is Nov. 10
ALTON — A press release printed in Tuesday’s edition was submitted with the incorrect date for the event. A pot luck luncheon to benefit local photographer Matt Fassett, whose studio was recently burglarized, will be held on Sunday, Nov. 10, 1 to 3 p.m. at the American Legion in Alton. from preceding page vival is receiving a transplant of healthy bone marrow cells. So, by connecting potential donors with those who are suffering from life threatening blood disorders is a critical mission. The testing consists of getting a cheek swabbed with a cotton swab; the swabs are then sent to a lab where they are genetically typed and if they are matched with someone who is dying of a bloodborne cancer, they could end up donating bone marrow which would then be transplanted into the sick person and hopefully save their life. PSU first-year student Jason Phillips of Somersworth, said he was happy to volunteer. “Why not? I enjoy helping people out and if I’m a match, I could help save someone’s life.” There is less than a one percent chance of matching, but every year, lives are saved when a match and successful transplant occurs. Currently there are hundreds of thousands of blood cancer survivors in the U.S. More than a dozen Plymouth State nursing students and faculty participated in the bone marrow donor drive.

have less of a chance of success than those who act to conquer their bad luck. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When the world shows its less than beautiful side, you may find it intolerable, but you won’t be discouraged. Instead, you’ll work to build your own beautiful world. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Imagination is not an impediment to logical behavior. Your creativity will serve to enhance a reasonable plan or add an interesting twist to a sensible choice. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Things won’t go completely according to your script. Still, if you take the time to plan out your day, you will be glad in the end because much of what you plot will come to fruition. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). It’s your year to turn a mediocre situation into something truly remarkable. Group efforts are favored in November, and together you’ll make the important difference you couldn’t make alone. Regardless of the weather in January, your heart feels like an endless stretch of sunny skies. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 13, 6, 22, 41 and 30.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Find out what people want before you start giving them things. If you do it the other way around, you’ll have given what’s valuable to you and you will not have solved their problem. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It will be better to say less, especially when you’re broaching a difficult topic. You can always add more words and information later, but you can never take back what you already said. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel it is your duty to do something, and yet you may not agree with the thing you must do. In this case, it’s time to change your role because you are no longer suited to it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). One small light can be seen through miles of darkness. You’ll be that light in someone’s dark hour today. Don’t be surprised if this person starts to depend on you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Be careful of how you wield that wonderful sense of humor. When you make your friends laugh, they will add you to their short list of favorite people. Can you handle the popularity? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Acting is not just for movie and stage stars; most people do it all the time. You play a role at work that requires you to bring a different face to the job. The people who know you only in one context don’t know you very well. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You will accept some of destiny’s dealings, but not all of them -- and that’s good. Progress is made by those who aren’t content to let the whims of fate knock them around. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may not like the way things are managed, but you know better than to log a complaint. The surest, fastest way to get things in order is to order them yourself. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The odds are in your favor, but they stop short of guaranteeing your success. Those who don’t act in accordance with their own good luck

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 24, the 297th day of 2013. There are 68 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 24, 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis; the blockade was aimed at interdicting the delivery of offensive weapons to the island. On this date: In 1537, Jane Seymour, the third wife of England’s King Henry VIII, died 12 days after giving birth to Prince Edward, later King Edward VI. In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia (west-FAY’lee-uh) ended the Thirty Years War and effectively destroyed the Holy Roman Empire. In 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was sent by Chief Justice Stephen J. Field of California from San Francisco to President Abraham Lincoln in Washington, D.C., over a line built by the Western Union Telegraph Co. In 1901, widow Anna Edson (correct) Taylor became the first person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. In 1939, Benny Goodman and his orchestra recorded their signature theme, “Let’s Dance,” for Columbia Records in New York. Nylon stockings were first sold publicly in Wilmington, Del. In 1940, the 40-hour work week went into effect under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. In 1945, the United Nations officially came into existence as its charter took effect. In 1952, Republican presidential candidate Dwight D. Eisenhower declared in Detroit, “I shall go to Korea” as he promised to end the conflict. (He made the visit over a month later.) In 1972, Hall of Famer Jackie Robinson, who’d broken Major League Baseball’s color barrier in 1947, died in Stamford, Conn., at age 53. In 1987, 30 years after it was expelled, the Teamsters union was welcomed back into the AFL-CIO. (However, the Teamsters disafilliated themselves from the AFL-CIO in 2005.) In 1991, “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry died in Santa Monica, Calif., at age 70. In 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays became the first non-U.S. team to win the World Series as they defeated the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, Game 6. In 2002, authorities arrested Army veteran John Allen Muhammad and teenager Lee Boyd Malvo near Myersville, Md., in connection with the Washington-area sniper attacks. Ten years ago: Three Concordes swooped into London’s Heathrow Airport, joining in a spectacular finale to the era of luxury supersonic jet travel. Five years ago: Singer-actress Jennifer Hudson’s mother and brother were found slain in their Chicago home; the body of her 7-year-old nephew was found three days later. (Hudson’s estranged brother-in-law has been arrested in the killings.) One year ago: The San Francisco Giants took the first game of the World Series, 8-3, over the Detroit Tigers, as Pablo Sandoval became the fourth player to hit three home runs in a World Series game. Hurricane Sandy roared across Jamaica and toward Cuba, before taking aim on the eastern United States.

that the Lakes Region Detachment will be recognizing all New Hampshire veterans who served during the Korean War period and especially those Marines from the Lakes Region area. 2013 marks the 60th anniversary of the truce entered into on July 27, 1953 between the United States, its United Nations allies and the Republic of South Korea with the Communist nations of North Korea, China, and the Soviet Union. While the truce ended armed fighting, the actual end of the war did not occur until January 31, 1955 with the signing of the armistice between the warring nations. Despite the fact that the Korean War has been dubbed “The Forgotten War”, the casualties that occurred during the period were immense. The Ministry of National Defense of the Republic of Korea claims that some 5.3 million people were killed or wounded, among them, over 2.5 million civilians. Combatant casualties from both sides in the conflict were significant. New Hampshire citizens played a shared role in this conflict as some 11,500 men and women served mation call 934-1901 or visit www.franklinoperahouse.org. Events at the Gilford Public Library.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: What is your opinion on co-sleeping? My husband, his daughter and I all sleep in the same bed at night, and neither my husband nor I minds a bit. My husband loves it, saying he knows where both of his beautiful ladies are at night and he doesn’t have to worry. When we want to make love, we wait until his daughter is not in the bed, or we go into the spare bedroom. What do you think? -- Pennsylvania Dear Pennsylvania: We think a lot of this is up to the parents and depends on the age of the child. Often, pediatricians do not recommend co-sleeping with an infant because of the slight risk that a parent will roll over onto the child. Some older children who co-sleep have difficulty transitioning to their own bed and will demand to sleep with the parents well past puberty. And some children who are developing sexually can transfer inappropriate feelings to a parent when co-sleeping continues past a certain point. (We will assume that neither parent has inappropriate sexual feelings toward the child, although this is also a concern.) What counts is that both of the parents and the child are comfortable with this arrangement, both parents are responsible about the child’s development, and the set-up does not interfere with marital intimacy. If you are the stepparent and the biological mother is in the picture, be sure she is in agreement. This is a joint parental decision. Dear Annie: I’m the proud grandma of two: a young lady of 17 and a 14-year-old Eagle Scout grandson. The problem is my Lauren Bacall voice. (A nun in the fifth grade nicknamed me “Foghorn.”) My granddaughter deliberately goes out of her way to ignore her grandfather and me because she is embarrassed by how I sound. It doesn’t bother my grandson at all, but my granddaughter has avoided me since the age of 5. No kisses, no hugs, no affection at all.
She just graduated from high school. My heart aches, and I cry every day knowing she will continue to hate me. I always have been good to her. I never say no when she asks for something, right up to paying for her 18th birthday gift to parachute for the first time. -- A Loving and Lonely Grandma Dear Grandma: Grandchildren generally are very accepting of their grandparents’ voices, features, habits, etc. We know that some children are acutely embarrassed by any variation of the norm. But even if your voice is grating to her, by the age of 18, your granddaughter should have developed the maturity and tolerance to consider it unimportant compared to her relationship with you. We hope she will learn to value the love you offer, but in the meantime, please accept her limitations and focus your affection on your grandson. Also, if you haven’t had a doctor check your throat, we hope you will. Sometimes, these vocal issues have medical causes that go undiagnosed for years. Dear Annie: I had to respond to “Venting in Oregon,” who complained about the neighbors’ noisy children. My husband and I, while sitting on our front porch, recently complained that our street is too quiet. When we moved here 25 years ago, the street was filled with children, ours included. We enjoyed watching boys racing go-carts down the street and children dashing back and forth to one another’s homes. Last year, a garage band around the block blasted their music for an hour in the afternoon each weekday. It was great. Now it feels like a ghost town. All of our children grew up and moved away, and we are still here. We miss the lively commotion that makes for a family neighborhood. We don’t like all this peace and quiet. -- Connecticut
