Selig steps into CEO role at Taylor Community By Ed EnglEr
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Robert J. Selig is replacing Tim Martin as chief executive officer (CEO) of the Taylor Community, effective October 30. The retired president of Laconia Shoe Company, Selig currently serves as chairman of Taylor’s Board of Trustees, a position he will continue to hold. Since the middle of August, he has been filling in for Martin, who took a leave of absence at that time. In making the announcement of Selig’s appointment to the CEO position on Friday, the board of the century-old retirement living institution noted that Martin had resigned and complimented him as being “instrumental in working toward a sound financial plan for the continued success of Taylor Community”. “We thank him for his services and wish Tim and (wife) Peggy the very best,” a statement continued. Martin came to the Taylor Community in 2009, after a long stint running Milton Residences for the Elderly (MRE) in Milton, Mass. He succeeded Howard Chandler, see sELIG page 11

Can this test drive Act of boarding up windows puts those who want Hathaway House preserved on edge be over now? By MichaEl Kitch
BELMONT — Police said a young Sunshine Drive woman will likely be cited for driving with an expired driver’s license after she took an extended test drive with a local merchant’s car. Lt. Rich Mann said the owner of Cupples Automotive told police that a young woman had taken a 2010 Honda Civic for a test drive at 11:30 a.m. on Wednesday but hadn’t returned it by 6 p.m., closing time. A Belmont Police Officer went to the address given to the owner and saw the car parked in her driveway. She told the officer the owners hadn’t told her to have the car back at any specific time. see drIVE page 8

LACONIA — Concern for the future of the Hathaway (Squire Clark) House, the stately Victorian home at 1106 Union Avenue, was aroused this week when, on Thursday, a work crew arrived to knock out glass and board up windows as well as remove asbestos tiles from the ground floor. The contractor said that his crew was engaged by Gregg Nolan, director of development and construction of Cafua Management Company, LLC of North Andover, Massachusetts, which owns the property, to remove asbestos caulking and tiles. He said that he knew nothing about any plans for the building beyond the job he was sent to do. Nolan did not return telephone calls yesterday.

Although Pam Clark, who chairs the city’s Heritage Commission, feared the work was a prelude to demolition, Planning Director Shanna Saunders said yesterday that no application for a demolition has been filed with her department and she has not been in contact with Cafua for some time. Clark said yesterday that should Cafua seek to demolish the building, the Heritage Commission will hold a public hearing and meet with representatives of the company in hopes of agreeing to an alternative to demolition. However, if agreement cannot be reached, the city has no authority to forestall the demolition process. The controversy surrounding the Hathaway House began in 2008.

Leaders of state workers’ union to vote on new contract proposal
CONCORD (AP) — The union representing most state workers is asking its leaders to meet Tuesday to vote on a possible contract settlement with New Hampshire. The State Employees’ Association made the announcement to union members in an email on Friday. The union said negotiations had been scheduled to enter factfinding but negotiations took a positive turn and a potential settlement was reached between the state and the union bargaining team. The union, which represents about 7,500 workers, did not release details of the possible settlement. The union’s Senate rejected a tentative agreement in June in a dispute over wages and health benefits and did not send the tentative agreement to members for a ratification vote. A key dispute was over a new deductible in the health care plan.

Colorado grand jury indicted JonBenet Ramsey’s parents for be accessories to her murder in 1999 but DA refused to prosecute BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — A grand jury found enough evidence to indict the parents of JonBenet Ramsey for child abuse and accessory to first-degree murder in the 6-year-old’s death, newly unsealed documents revealed Friday, nearly a decade after DNA evidence cleared the couple. But the 1999 documents shed no light on who was responsible for the child beauty queen’s death, and 14 years later, authorities are no closer to finding her killer. The documents confirmed reports earlier this year that grand jurors had indeed recommended an indictment in the case, contrary to the long-held perception that the secret panel ended their work without deciding to charge anyone. At the time, then-District Attorney Alex
Hunter didn’t mention an indictment, saying only that there wasn’t enough evidence to warrant charges against the Ramseys, who had long maintained their innocence. The grand jury met three years after JonBenet’s body was found bludgeoned and strangled in the basement of her family’s home in Boulder, the day after Christmas in 1996. Lurid details of the crime and striking video footage of the child in adult makeup and suggestive pageant costumes propelled the case into one of the highestprofile mysteries in the U.S., unleashing a series of true-crime books and TV specials. Many tabloid headlines later, tests in 2008 on newly discovered DNA left behind by someone who touched JonBenet’s long
underwear pointed to the involvement of an “unexplained third party” in her slaying, and not the Ramseys or their son, Burke. The tests led Hunter’s successor, Mary Lacy, to clear the Ramseys, two years after Patsy Ramsey died of cancer. In a letter to John Ramsey, she called the couple “victims of this crime.” Finding a match in the nation’s growing DNA database could hold the best hope for someday solving the killing of JonBenet, who would now be 23. Her slaying is considered a cold case, open but not under active investigation. One of John Ramsey’s attorneys, L. Lin Wood, said the documents released Friday are “nonsensical” and the grand jurors see JONBENET page 12
Germany & France to insist that U.S. stop eavesdropping on friends BRUSSELS (AP) — Indignant at reports of U.S. electronic espionage overseas, the leaders of Germany and France said Friday they will insist the Obama administration agree by year’s end to limits that could put an end to alleged American eavesdropping on foreign leaders, businesses and innocent citizens. German spy chiefs will travel to Washington shortly to talk with U.S. officials about the spying allegations that have so angered European leaders, including whether Chancellor Angela Merkel’s own cellphone was monitored by the National

Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, at the final day of a European Union summit in Brussels, did not offer many specifics on what they want President Barack Obama and his intelligence chiefs to agree to. A former French counterintelligence agent, however, told The Associated Press the European allies will likely demand the Americans sign off on a “code of good conduct” for intelligence-gathering, and could use the espionage dispute as lever-
age against the United States in upcoming trade talks. “I think France and Germany would want guidelines,” said Claude Moniquet, who now directs the Brussels-based European Strategic and Intelligence Center. But he was dubious there would be much change in intelligence agencies’ real-world behavior. “Everyone swears on the Bible,” Moniquet said. “And after that it’s business as usual.” This week alone, there have been headsee SPYING page 5

Demolition of former Aubuchon building underway; hospital laundry will relocate By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The owner of the fire-ravaged building at the corner of Fair and Court Street said yesterday that the laundry facility operated by LRGHeathcare will not be coming back to his building. Owner Mike McCarthy was at the site yesterday afternoon wearing a white safety helmet and watching as a demolition team reduced the east portion of his former industrial building to rubble. “It’s all gone,” he said wistfully. McCarthy said he is not sure yet if the entire building needs to be razed but said LRGHeathcare has confirmed it will be relocating its laundry facility. “They have told me they won’t be coming back,” he said. He said fire officials and police have completed their investigation as far as the building fire is concerned and released the building to him. McCarthy said he doesn’t know yet how much he will rebuild. The commercial building located at 164 Court Street went up in flames on September 22 at 2:30 a.m. The stubborn blaze went to three alarms and four ladder trucks were needed to finally extinguish it. The fire was particularly difficult to fight said Fire Chief Ken Erickson because the multiple old roofs had been covered by a rubber membrane that initially prevented firefighters from getting water on to blaze. Erickson has said the fire is suspicious and city fire officials spent much of week immediately after the blaze going over the building with state fire officials. The portion of the building that housed the laun-

dry is on the Fair Street side of the building. Erickson said at the time that firefighters were able to keep the fire from spreading to the laundry portion, however that are was damaged by smoke and water. The building was home to six business — including the LRGHeathcare laundry facilities, Northeast Electrical Services and Little Caesar’s Pizza.

Laconia ‘chicken ordinance’ takes important step forward BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — With one dissenting vote, the Zoning Board of Adjustment (ZBA) this week endorsed an ordinance that would permit residents in most parts of the city to keep chickens. It remains for the proposal to be approved by both the Planning Board and City Council. The ordinance, which was prepared by the Zoning Task Force, would permit the keeping of chickens in the residential single-family (RS), residential general (RG) and shorefront residential (SFR) districts. A “special exception” to the ordinance, granted by the ZBA and carrying a fee of $125, would be required. The current ordinance restricts the keeping of livestock, including poultry, to four districts — the commercial resort (CR), airport industrial (AI) and rural residential I and II (RRI, RRII) districts, effectively excluding chickens from the most densely populated parts of the city. The proposed ordinance would permit keeping not more than five hens — but no roosters, capons or guinea hens — for the sole use of the household in the specified districts by special exception. The breeding of chickens and sale of eggs would be prohibited. Nor could chickens be slaughtered on the premisses. Chickens would be kept in coops placed in rear or side yards at least 10 feet from the primary residence and 20 feet from any lot line. Chickens would not be allowed to roam free. Not more than three cubic feet of droppings, stored in a closed container, could be kept at one time. Chicken coops could not be located and chicken manure could not be stored within the 50 feet of the Shoreland Protection Overlay District, which includes all land within 250 feet of the high water mark of public waters, or within any wetland or wetland buffer. Tom Barker, who with his wife Karen keeps chickens at their home on Lane Road, was among several residents to again challenge the requirement of a special exception and accompanying fee, which they said raised an unnecessary financial barrier. However, Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that the Zoning Task Force chose to require a special exception in order to ensure that those electing to keep chickens were aware of the conditions for doing so and that her department would know where chickens were being kept should enforcement action be necessary. The fee, she explained, is required of all applications for special exceptions, not only those to keep chickens, and is intended to defray the cost of reviewing applications and enforcing ordinances. The Planning Board is scheduled to address the proposed ordinance on November, when another public hearing will be held. SPYING from page 2 lines in the European press about the U.S. scooping up millions of French telephone records and perhaps listening in on Merkel’s calls. A British newspaper said it obtained a confidential memo indicating that the personal communications of up to 35 foreign leaders may have been subject to U.S snooping in 2006. On Friday, Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in Brussels that he had instructed his foreign minister to summon the U.S. ambassador in Spain to obtain information on news reports that Spain has been a target of U.S. spying, but insisted that his government was unaware of any cases. from preceding page details of their relocation are still to be determined. He said the laundry service is being temporarily subcontracted to Kleen Laundry, however the employees who worked for the laundry have been kept employed within the company so there were no job losses. Lipman said the laundry facilities processed about 1 million pounds of laundry annually for all of the LRGHealthcare entities.

A teacher from Danvers Danvers, Mass., is two towns away from where I grew up. I used to shop at the mall there. When I was much younger and stronger, I’d ride my bike that far. We played Danvers in football. I went to camp in Danvers. If you’d asked me yesterday or the day before whether Danvers was a scary town, I would have laughed. Danvers? I live in Los Angeles. In Danvers, kids still ride their bikes at night. Danvers should be safe. And I always thought it was — until I read about the murder of math teacher Colleen Ritzer, originally from Andover, one more town away, and only a year older than my daughter. The alleged murderer was arraigned in the First District Court of Essex County. When I was a kid, my first job was at the Essex County Registry of Deeds, right next door to the courthouse, and for “fun” (would-be lawyer that I was), I used to go over at lunch and sit in on the trials. There was one family murder, but I never sat in on a case like this. Things like this didn’t happen in Salem or Danvers or Andover. Until they did. Why does a 14-year-old murder a well-liked, dedicated, beautiful and talented math teacher just 10 years older than him? I’m sure his lawyers will come up with some excuse, mental illness or an abuse excuse, family troubles, diminished capacity, one of the long list of defenses and excuses I used to teach. Is it wrong to say I couldn’t care less what his excuse is? Is it wrong to say that if 14 is old enough to kill — and it is — then it’s old enough to be responsible and to be punished as an adult? Maybe I’ve lost my empathy. Or maybe I’ve just become very clear about who does and does not deserve empathy Not the alleged killer. The victim and her family. Ritzer is the second teacher to be killed this week by a student (allegedly, of course). Two days earlier, in
Sparks, Nev., another math teacher — this time a man, a former Marine and National Guardsman — was shot at school by a 12-year-old who also shot two other students before killing himself. You can try to find a pattern. But really, what could it be? That teaching math is life threatening? Ridiculous. I’m pretty sure the gun-control laws in Massachusetts are tougher than in Nevada. So the 14-year-old used a box cutter, allegedly. The kid in Nevada reportedly got his gun from home. Some people are describing the kid in Danvers as “soft-spoken,” whatever that means (like the “baby-faced” Marathon bomber, who was no baby-face), and others are speculating that he was infatuated with his math teacher. If every teacher of an infatuated student were vulnerable to murder, well, there would be no profession. In all of my years living on the North Shore of Boston, as a student and as an adult, I never heard of a student killing a teacher. I certainly would remember. It just didn’t happen. So why now? It’s the sort of thing we need to talk about thoughtfully, not screaming at one another about gun control, but listening respectfully, trying to figure out what’s gone wrong and what we can do about it. But we don’t have those kinds of conversations anymore — about anything. There is no discourse. It’s all just ideological prattle, screaming back and forth, talking heads competing to be outrageous enough to get their own shows. Meanwhile, decent people shake their heads, and parents and families mourn losses that are just unfathomable. Two math teachers in one week. So wrong. (Susan Estrich is a professor of Law and Political Science at the University of Southern California Law Center. A best-selling author, lawyer and politician, as well as a teacher, she first gained national prominence as national campaign manager for Dukakis for President in 1988.)
Barry Sanders would resign presidency before his term was up To The Daily Sun, I noticed your headline on one of the letters today (October 24th) where you listed Barry Sanders as a possible president. Someone had the wrong contact sport (football) on their mind when doing the headlines. Although... it is an interesting concept. If Barry Sanders was president we would see a lot of brilliant footwork and change of direction behind the line, followed either by a 1 or 2 yard loss, or by
a burst leading to a 60 yard gain. However, he would end up retiring/resigning from the presidency early, when a goal obtained by no one else was in sight. Ed Allard Laconia (Editor’s note: The correct reference would have been to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont. Barry Sanders is a Hall of Fame running back for the Detroit Lions. He walked away from the game while in his prime.)
LETTERS ‘Come little leaves said the wind one day . . . ‘ To The Daily Sun, I am quoting below from a letter that my best friend e-mailed to her son who is a Merchant Marine and is now working on a tanker in the Pacific Ocean. Now we all know that the ocean does not have “leaves” and she wants him to remember what Fall is all about. “Sweetie this is just about the extremely great fall N.H. has ever had . . . the month of October has been hot, warm with a gentle breeze, so that our leaves on our trees stayed for a long time without falling fast. . . the rain and wind usually brings them down. I took a ride around out town, North Conway, and south to Karass and no matter where you looked the trees were warm with brilliant colors of yellow, orange, red, mixed in with our green pines. The mountains were breathtaking looked like a quilt with all the colors of our life we live and see. It is like the tree’s branches were reaching out to hold you in there arms to warm you before the long winter. The road on the neck was so beautiful. . . you could close your eyes and picture this . . . trees with their painted colors are hanging over our road with the bright sunlight and warmth. . . a few crispy leaves on the side of the road when you drive by and hear them rustle. . . remember that sound. . . I just thank God for its glory, I love the season’s of different colors and wait for the first snow of white and the crisp clean smell. I know you always say it’s sad when fall comes but I don’t look at it that way at all because Mother Nature knows life changes with a new season to refresh out lives and we go on and look for-
ward to the next day, week, month so don’t count the days, MAKE THEM COUNT. Find something in each day that counted in your life; it could be a small prayer. . . to helping out someone. . . or just reflecting the day you woke up too. Stop for a minute and smell the air. Now I’m going to reflect back for a second your Mom does that as she gets old. . . you may not remember but grandpa used to sit in his rocking chair near the window and say this poem to you and Kara on his lap come the fall weather: ‘Come little leave said the wind one day, come over the meadow and play with me. Put on you dresses of red and gold the summer is gone and the days grow cold’ . . . and I looked this up one time on the Internet and it is a real poem with more words to it because I thought he made it up. He was quite the guy to reach out to teach you both things he learned in life . So I’m rambling and I know you are getting bored with reading this. . . so have a safe trip up and back I’ll write again but not this boring. . . I wrote this because the rain is coming and the leaves will be gone and our winter will be right behind us. All my love to you, your Mum.

Obamacare website problems are just the tip of the iceberg To The Daily Sun, I believe that the problems that have been identified with the Obamacare system roll out is just the tip of the iceberg. All the problems they’ve experienced have to do with nothing more than the data entry front end of the system. Just wait until they get into actually using the system e.g. the reimbursement system, the billing system, the collection system,
interface with a myriad of other government systems, the fraud alert system, the actual medical care system, the doctor enrollment system, the insurance company compliance system, the subsidiary disbursement system, etc. As Al Jolson used to say “folks you ain’t seen nothing yet”.

LETTERS Citizen story was poorly written and pathologically unkind
The liberal, socialist mindset has caused misery around world
To The Daily Sun, I am sending this letter to The Laconia Daily Sun because I will never buy a Laconia Citizen again after reading their paper today (Thursday) about the tragic death of a local physician. This morning, the Laconia Citizen did two useful things. First, the article on the front page made me feel something other than sorrow; it filled me with a clean, bright anger. Second, and most appropriately, I used it to start my wood stove, only because I have enough toilet paper in the house. In the spirit of full disclosure, I am an emergency registered nurse and a nurse practitioner student about to graduate. I am writing this letter in order to explain my working diagnosis of a terminal illness in your newspaper: malice. Krista Marrs, news editor, your running the story about Dr. Andrew Kane on the front and second pages, directly next to his obituary, was insensitive at best. Bea Lewis expounding on the details was sensationalist, unnecessary and cruel — more fitting to a tabloid than a community newspaper. Rather than illustrating the countless amazing qualities of a physician who dedicated his life to the health and welfare of this community, you drivel on about a solitary legal case dismissed years ago. He was a man who practiced excellent medicine, often throughout the wee hours of the night, saving lives and curing ills while you and your reporter drooled on your pillows. If he didn’t take care of either of
To The Daily Sun, “Open up your heart and mind: it’s not good to close either one”. Right on Bernadette Loesch, I agree with you. Unfortunately, then the socialist virus flows from her pen onto the pages of The Sun. “Lest we forget, the 1 percent of the uber wealthy want to keep all that they have without caring about or feeling any brotherly concern or responsibility for others who are less fortunate than them.” Her broad brush then paints a picture of patronizing contempt for letter writers who disagree with her view of how the world works. “The examples we hear from people with narrowed minds try to make us believe that only the ones who have made it are entitled to what they earn (and all of it)”. The questions abound. “One per cent of the uber wealthy” includes exactly what minuscule percentage of the population? How does she know that all those folks have no “brotherly concern” for others and hence give nothing to charity of their personal wealth? And heaven forbid that people who bust their tails every day should feel entitled to what they earn. Who are these narrow-minded people that she speaks of and how does she know what they do or do not contribute to their fellow man? I wonder if she knows that Republicans contribute more of their personal wealth to charity than do Democrats and by a wide margin. I wonder why Bernadette offers no proof whatsoever and offers no names to back up her allegations of these supposed narrow minded letter writers. No, no, she just blasts away with accusations of folks stereotyping and condemning all the poor and needy as not deserving of our help. I haven’t
you, I guarantee he took care of someone you knew. How dare you diminish the good this man did in his too-short life by focusing on the end? Drew Kane adored his family and spoke of them constantly. He was gentle and generous; quick with dark chocolate or an encouraging word. He was energetic and empathetic, smart and unassuming. He was an outstanding friend and mentor to nursing and EMS alike, and never had an unkind word to say about anyone. Trust me; no one will ever say these things about either of you. The story was not only poorly written, it was pathologically unkind. Bea Lewis shows a remarkable lack of humanity and empathy. In the medical world, this is considered a psychological disorder requiring medication and therapy. I strongly suggest that Krista and Bea seek immediate treatment for this disturbing malady. Know that if you do, the staff at LRGHealthcare will treat you both like everyone else, and like Dr. Kane would have: with kindness, respect and discretion. Unlike you, they are dedicated professionals who care for the people of the community individually and as a whole. I would also recommend that your newspaper hire a new editor who is immunized against the type of petty malice that harms the community you are supposed to serve.

Think about Siden’s message & stop obsessing about identity To The Daily Sun, What is it about some of the people who live in the Lakes Region that make them want to shoot the messenger all the time? Is the lake that polluted that it’s beginning to affect their thinking? I realize that shooting the messenger is a time-honored response to unwelcome news but it is not a very effective way of remaining well-informed. Case in point is the “mysterious” L.J.Siden. If the right-wing Republicans would spend more time reading the message instead of obsessing about his identity they definitely would be better informed. But that would require a smidgen of tolerance and open-mindedness that seems to be lacking in a few ‘lake people’ tea partiers. I read L.J. Siden’s post about veterans last week and I don’t think he owes anyone an apology. I think the person who requested the apology, and I’m not mentioning any names, but sometimes his picture appears next to his posts, loves to bathe himself in the flag. For his penance he needs to repeat 100 times: “Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel”. To accuse half of the N.H. congressional delegation of “using veterans” as pawns is despicable and is typi-
cal of right-wing thinking. L.J.Siden is a voice crying in the wilderness. He upsets a lot of the loons nesting on or around the lake. I wonder how Tea Partiers, who often cite Jesus in their ideology, would behave if they ever suspected that Jesus was merely a man. Come to think of it, I’m beginning to wonder how any Christian would behave if they suspected the same thing. Would the message of love lose some of its potency if it had come from let’s say a gay man? A little less thumping and a bit more reading of the bible would be in order here. Francois Marie d’Arouet also used a “pen” name and one can fill multiple libraries about this product of the “Enlightment Period” — a period that obviously by passed certain areas of the Lakes Region. So Mr. Mystery man. Keep up the good work. I, along with many others love reading your messages and we don’t care who you are. George Maloof Plymouth (Editor’s note: The Daily Sun does not knowingly allow anyone to write letters to the editor over a “pen” name. We also do not hire private detectives. We tend to take people at their word until given a darn good reason not to.)
State took slots away from casino & Belmont is now surprised? To The Daily Sun, Suppose its a coincidence that Lakes Region Casino isn’t paying real estate taxes since the state closed down its burgeoning slot operation? Everyone knew that the charity gaming aspect
If Belmont wants its money, have them go to the idiots in Concord and tell them to open up LRC to genuine casino gambling and stop driving our gaming money to ME,CT, RI and soon, MA! Leo Paradis
read of anyone saying that. How about one example. Who anointed you the arbiter of who is and isn’t a responsible person? Bernadette, I am not angry with you. I used to believe as you do until I opened up my mind and rid myself of the socialist virus that had afflicted me for so long. I am angry with liberal teachers and professors who filled me with this socialist, redistributionist nonsense. I am angry with the media who perpetuate lies about capitalism and conservatism. I am angry with most Republicans who continually cave in to the Democrats. And I am angry with myself for taking so long to wake up. Now that I am awake and have an open mind, I will in my letters, continue to correct the misrepresentations made about conservatives by modern day liberals. The liberal, socialist mindset has caused untold misery around the world as history has borne out. Unfortunately, like a tenacious virus, it keeps rearing it’s ugly head by those who remain convinced that socialism is the best model for taking care of citizens despite not one single, solitary example of a success in the history of mankind. Yes, I am angry, but not at you Bernadette. I actually feel sad for you since you apparently still feel as I once did. “I am a liberal, I am a Democrat and therefore I am in the party that has cornered the market on the care and compassion for others”. That, is pure rubbish and I will continue to call you and others out on all the lies, hypocritical name calling, generalizations and arrogance that flows from the progressive, modern day liberal mind.

Democrats get to work on fixing programs & make them work better To The Daily Sun, Today, the House Energy and Commerce Committee met to consider the technical difficulties surrounding the introduction of the federal exchanges of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare. All the Republicans on the committee were not only critical of the website glitches but were emphatic in their condemnation of the ACA law. Unfortunately, not one GOP Congressman offered any ideas to correct the difficulties or improve the website’s performance. Not one offered help for the people who would benefit from the new health insurance law In stark contrast, this same House committee met in April of 2006 to consider the troubled implementation and website of President Bush’s Part D Plan that expanded Medicare to include prescription coverage for seniors. Democrats on the committee were critical of the Republican plan, pointing out that Part D had a gap or “donut hole” that limited coverage for the elderly above and below set amounts of drug coverage. But unlike today’s Republicans, the Democrats back then kept their reservations and criticism in check and joined with their GOP counterparts to come up with better ways to implement the program and publicize the program
to seniors. You do not have to be a Democrat to understand the essential difference between these two Congressional hearings seven years apart. The Democrats did not use temporary problems with implementation as a reason to defund, delay, or change the legitimate law that President Bush had signed. The Democrats put the people ahead of party and worked with the Republicans to help the elderly citizens who would benefit from the legislation. Over the years, America’s seniors learned about Medicare Part D and most are supportive. During this time, Democrats in Congress looked for ways to improve the law and eliminate the donut hole that plagued many seniors with high prescription costs. It may surprise you to learn that the ACA or Obamacare will do away with the donut hole gap over the next few years for all seniors. Ironically, its part of the law, that’s hated by the Republicans, signed by President Obama and approved by the Supreme Court. It’s about time that Republicans used their power to effectively help people and put both obstructive and destructive politics aside. Nick Vazzana Sandwich

LETTERS Do parents have right as to what moral teachings reach their kids? To The Daily Sun, Jesus, talking to the Jews, speaking to them about knowing Him said, “You will know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” In saying this Jesus reveals a spiritual truth that permeates all human endeavor. You can see it in operation at every level of enterprise in human history. Our founding fathers seemed to have good grasp of that as it seems did our nation well into the nineteenth century. The relationship between the reformation and the enlightenment is direct, as is the relationship between the truth of the Scriptures being seen as central and acceptable truth and American liberty. The truth of the Scriptures is true it happened that way, it is that way, and it will be that way. You can shake it can run up against it and ram it, try to blow it up with hand grenades, nuke it, argue against it, it does doesn’t matter; it is true, it will stand. Consequently it is the foundation of liberty, for an honestly seeking humanity given liberty to examine our universe freely will find it to be true because it is. This is not true of any other philosophy trying to occupy that foundational position. For as much as a philosophy is less than true it must restrict investigation in order to hold it’s place. Otherwise it would be found to be untrue and lose its hold on our society. I could go on for pages about this but I won’t, for my purpose is to draw
attention to a case being brought before the N.H. Supreme Court which embodies this principle with all the twists and turns that a cast of corrupt players through the decades could manipulate. This case, this law, though it must seem obscure to many, is probably the most important case to go before the N.H. Supreme Court in decades perhaps a century. The court case is Duncan v The State of New Hampshire. The law is the state’s education tax credit program. What is at stake here is the very essence of our liberty as a people. Do parents have a right of conscience as to what moral teaching their children are subject to for over 1,000 hours a year, or constitutionally must they submit this most important life decision to the society in which they live if their income does not allow them meet the expediencies of raising a family and then paying double for their children’s education as well. Or can our state government fashion a law that helps to provide relief for these within the bounds of our state Constitution. If God and the publisher are willing, I will attempt to make these things clear in future submissions, as it takes several months for a case to go through the court process and the people of our state ought to know just what has transpired and what is at stake.

I in no way mean to disrespect the accomplishments of Mr. Jones To The Daily Sun, Once again, Mr. Meade feels compelled to jump into the fray. And, as is often the case, he “paraphrases” something I said into something that I didn’t say. We’re all aware of deception, lies, spinning the truth, etc., but Meade uses “paraphrasing”. It seems in “paraphrasing” you don’t have to report an accurate account of what was said — you only have to narrate whatever information serves your argument, no matter how blatantly misleading. In a recent letter, I voiced my disgust with Congress for using veterans as “pawns” in their game of political chess; after 27 years of military service, I would hope, that even Mr. Meade would agree, that I have earned that right. In referencing veterans it was quite obvious that I was referring to them as a group. In doing so, I made reference to a letter by Mr. Bob Jones, a local veteran. In his inevitable way, Meade makes the great leap and accuses me of “referring to him (Jones) as a ‘pawn’.” This was never said nor was it ever implied in my letter. I would also point out, that Jones submitted a letter soon after mine, in which he referenced the “Million Veteran March” and cited his displeasure with “two nationally-known figures who spoke of veterans not being used as ‘pawns’ were the ones who most often use veterans as ‘pawns’ ...”
From the bio of Mr. Jones that Meade included in his letter, I learned that Jones was a Navy corpsman serving with the Marines in Viet Nam. As a Marine serving in the I Corps area of Nam, I can tell you that we had the greatest respect for “our” corpsman. We treated “our” corpsman as demigods because we realized that our lives depended on their knowledge, skill, and courage — as exemplified by Mr. Jones. Depending on his time “in country”, we may have shared a foxhole at some point. I in no way mean to discredit or disrespect the accomplishments of Mr. Jones, but in recent years, it has come into vogue to refer to all our veterans as “heroes”. Veterans have a relationship that is unique and treasured, but I want to assure you that most vets do not see themselves as “heroes.” We were and are, young men and women fulfilling our oath to serve and defend our country. During our terms of service we made sacrifices to honor our commitments to this nation and stood firm to protect its ideals. Mr. Jones and I share similar views when it comes to encouraging veterans, no matter what their political persuasion, to research their representatives and determine who is just “talking the talk”, and who is actually “walking the walk.” L.

Danvers students back in class 2 days after math teacher was murdered
DANVERS, Mass. (AP) — Students at the Massachusetts school where a classmate allegedly killed a teacher returned Friday, surrounded by extra safety measures as well as tributes to the victim, including trees adorned with pink ribbons, her favorite color. Classes resumed at Danvers High School two days after student Philip Chism, 14, was charged with murder in the death of Colleen Ritzer, a 24-year-old math teacher. School had been canceled the previous two days. On Friday, the U.S. flag outside the school flew at half-staff, and the pink ribbons hung from a row of six trees in front of the building. The day was stressful and difficult, said freshman Cambria Cloutier, 14. “Everyone was just kind of crying, crying together. Everyone,” she said. Cloutier had class with Ritzer and Chism, and she returned to the classroom to find it stripped of pictures and handwriting. “There was basically no life in it,” she said. She said she could only tolerate being back in the room for about five minutes because she was thinking about seeing Ritzer and Chism together in the room after school Tuesday, shortly before the teacher was killed. “Just remembering that ... was overpowering,” she said.
The officer also said the woman’s driver’s license had recently expired. When the officer asked her why she didn’t return the car, she said that when she went to start it to return it to Cupples the car wouldn’t start. The officer reported he took the keys and the car started immediately. When he asked her shy she didn’t call the company to report any car problem, she didn’t really have an answer. Mann said the owner went to Sunshine Drive and retrieved his car. — Gail Ober
Outside the school, an electronic sign displayed a tweet that Ritzer posted this summer: “No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.” “RIP Miss Ritzer. Gone, not forgotten,” was written in the school colors of blue and white on the windows of a pickup truck in the student parking lot. A police officer stood outside a cruiser in front of the school, part of the extra security intended to reassure students. Side doors were to be locked for the next few days, and counselors would be on hand, officials told 800 parents at a meeting Thursday night. About 50 miles away at Assumption College in Worcester, where Ritzer graduated in 2011, a memorial service was held in her honor Friday. Ritzer’s death left “a mountain of sadness,” said the Rev. Dennis Gallagher, who officiated at the service. But, he said, Ritzer was obviously committed to both her profession and to being kind to others. “Wherever it came from, she seems to have understood some really important things about life,” he said. Ritzer’s funeral Mass will be on Monday in her hometown of Andover at St. Augustine Church, where calling hours will be held Sunday afternoon and evening. Her family said a scholarship has been established to honor her “tireless and dedicated work.” It will benefit Andover High School graduates who pursue a teaching career. Authorities have not said how Ritzer was killed, nor offered clues on Chism’s alleged motive. Tuesday’s school day ended for both Chism and Ritzer in her last-period Algebra I class, where she noticed him drawing in a notebook rather than taking notes, said Chism’s classmate Rania Rhaddaoui, who sat two seats from him. Ritzer asked Chism to stay after class, Rhaddaoui said, but she didn’t know why.
HATHAWAY from page one acquired the property in 2000. In 2008 the firm proposed razing the house and constructing a Dunkin’ Donuts store and strip mall on the property. However, after a series of meetings with city officials and concerned citizens, Cafua agreed to preserve the Hathaway House and build the Dunkin’ Donuts outlet on the remaining 0.75-acre parcel. When the project was approved, Nolan assured the Planning Board that the Hathaway House would be repainted as well as fitted with a fire alarm and fire suppression system. He said the company had no plans for the building other than to preserve it . However, the building has yet to be painted nor have steps been taken to maintain. Charlie St. Clair, whose mother Constance owned the building and operated the clothing store that gave it its name, charges that Cafua has practiced “demolition by neglect.” The fate of the Hathaway House led to the establishment of the Heritage Commission in 2008. The commission, consisting of five members, is charged with surveying and inventorying the
city’s cultural and historic resources, including buildings of historic and architectural significance and advise the Planning Board and other agencies on managing and protecting them. The commission also serves as a “demolition review committee” when application is made to raze buildings of more than 700-square-feet, visible from a public right-of-way and constructed more than 75 years before the demolition permit is requested. Within five days of receiving an application to demolish a building matching these criteria, the code enforcement must inform the Heritage Commission. If the commission finds that the building is “significant” and schedules a public hearing, the owner is required to post a sign to that effect, along with the date, time and place of the hearing, on the building in plain sight. Should the public hearing close without agreement on an alternative to demolition, the Heritage Commission shall meet with the owner within 10 days to seek agreement on an alternative. Without an agreement to preserve the building, the owner may proceed with demolition while the see next page

from preceding page Heritage Commission, with the consent of the owner, shall photograph and document the building as well as encourage the owner to salvage any important architectural features. The home was built in 1870 by Samuel C. Clark, a prominent attorney in Lakeport, then known as Lake Village. Clark was born in Lake Village on January 9, 1832, when Andrew Jackson began his second term as president of the United States. He was schooled in Gilford and at the New Hampton Academy then studied law with Stephen Lyford of Laconia and Asa Fowler of Laconia. In 1857, Clark was admitted to the New Hampshire Bar and named Clerk of the Court in Belknap County, a position he held until 1874. Clark served two two-year terms the New Hampshire House of Representatives, the first in 1867 and the second 10 years later. Meanwhile, he was named assistant Clerk of the House in 1870 and 1872 and Clerk in 1873 and 1875. Perhaps his initial political success went to his head, because Clark, who was called “Squire,” had begun to fancy himself a future governor and intended the house would be his official residence. Although he never became governor, Clark earned notoriety and respect in the the community. He was a promoter and director of the Laconia
and Lake Village Horse Railroad and during the Civil War served as deputy provost marshal, overseeing the military police. Later he was a director of both Laconia National Bank and Lake Village Savings Bank. All the while he maintained a lively law practice at the Clark Block on Elm Street. Clark died unexpectedly on March 19, 1897 after a brief bout of pneumonia. Clark and his wife Clarissa had three children. A son Samuel Clarence, born in 1857, died in infancy, but three years later Clarissa gave birth to twins, Samuel Clarence, known as Samuel, Jr. and Claribel. Samuel, Jr. married but sired no offspring. He died in December, 1901, eleven months after his mother passed away at the age of 66. Claribel, who never married, lived in the family home while traveling frequently and widely, until her death at 93 in 1953. Local legend has it that her ghost has stalked the mansion ever since. Four years later, the St. Clairs acquired the property. In September 1957, The Laconia Evening Citizen reported that the St. Clairs, Constance and her husband Richard, had restored the house to its “Victorian splendor” inside and out to house a clothing store called the Hathaway House. “All Laconia has watched with

interest and appreciation the work as it has progressed,” wrote City Editor Ebba M. Janson, “and the couple have received many letters from persons who visited the house years ago thanking them.” The exterior of the house was painted a gray beige, setting off the distinctive white woodwork, while the interior was decorated with Victo-
rian wall papers and period hues and graced with elegant chandeliers. The weathervane and cupola, sold earlier to an antique dealer, were returned to the barn. In the 1970s, the St. Clairs sold the property, which became home to a string of businesses before it was acquired in 2000 by an affiliate of Cafua.

BELMONT — Belmont High School sophomores, many wearing orange to show their support for anti-bullying efforts, took a little time between classes Friday morning to sign an anti-bullying pledge on a wall near the school office which read ‘’The End of Bullying Begins Here.’’ High School health teacher Laura Lavalle said that anti-bullying efforts are featured in her wellness class and that the orange sign was put up as part of national Anti-Bullying Month efforts. ‘’We’re trying to get kids to think about how to deal with bullying and placing a special emphasis on cyberbullying this year,’’ said Lavalle, who added the national slogan for antibullying efforts is ‘’Make it Orange and Make it End!” In 2011, Ellen DeGeneres promoted
the cause on television by wearing orange and reminding millions of viewers about the importance of bullying prevention. Lavalle said that eventually all of the students at the school will have an opportunity to take part kin anti-bullying efforts and that there will be special programs at the school during the week of Nov. 18-22, which Gov. Maggie Hassan has proclaimed as “anti-bullying” week in New Hampshire. She and another faculty member and four or five Belmont High School students will be attending a ‘’Stand Up to Bullying’’ event at the Whittemore Center at the University of New Hampshire on November 15. Thousands of middle and high school students and teachers from across New Hampshire will come together for a one-day program to see next page

Belmont to consider property upkeep ordinance for village By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — The town’s Planning Department is a considering the adoption a property maintenance code for the immediate village area, said selectmen earlier this week. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said Monday that Town Planner Candace Daigle and the Code Enforcement Officer Steve Paquin had spoken to her about concerns with garbage piling up in front of some homes. “I think it’s worth pursuing,” said Chair Ron Cormier, saying that the village district looks so nice now that Phase 1 of the Village District Revitalization Plan is completed. Cormier suggested that if the town were to adopt a property maintenance code that he would recommend the town create an official overlay district and adopt an ordinance for that district only. Selectmen Ruth Mooney said she is a little concerned about the code enforcement officer having to deal with property maintenance and said she didn’t want to see something overly restrictive like regulating how high someone’s grass can grow. None of them suggested anything as draconian as that but all said they would be interested in some-
thing that would help keep the village looking as nice as it does now. All selectmen agreed that since the first phase of the Village Revitalization Project has been completed that many people in the village area have made efforts to keep the outsides of their property nicer. Daigle said Belmont has a designated Village District for zoning purposes but it encompasses more area than the area officials may regulate through an ordinance. She said should the Planning Board decide an ordinance is appropriate and needed, she would recommend creating an official overlay district called the Village-Factory District which is confined to the immediate village. Daigle said yesterday that she spoke with Laconia City Planner Shanna Saunders, who said Laconia adopted the International Property and Maintenance Codes of 2006. Saunders said yesterday that the city most often used the code as an enforcement tool for junk and debris that pile up in yards. She said the bulk of the violations in Laconia occur in absentee-owner properties. Daigle said the Planning Board is scheduled to review all ordinances and suggestions at the meeting scheduled for November 4.

from preceding page retirees now find desirable. That is, rather than charge a flat monthly residence fee that does not change over the years with the level of service desired, Taylor’s fees start at a relatively low level for independent living and rise with need. Selig said the average independent living resident at Taylor stays at that level for nine years and the resulting savings on fees over that period is considerable. About half the people living in a Taylor facility originally signed what are called continuing care contracts, which require the organization to provide lifetime care at the appropriate level, even if the resident is no longer capable of paying for the service. In fiscal year 2013, Taylor provided $1 million in subsidized care to such residents. As CEO, Selig assumes responsibility for the administration, operations, marketing and finances of the organization. Taylor has 140 employees and operates three shifts per day at the assisted living and nursing care
levels. “We’re so fortunate to have a tremendous staff with whom I work,” said Selig. “They are the ones who make this the great community that it is and they are the reasons for the ongoing success and appeal of Taylor Community.” Selig attended Laconia public schools and graduated from Brown University in 1958. He is currently chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Laconia Public Library, past president of Temple B’Nai Israel, former president and currently a director of the Jewish Federation of New Hampshire, former vice chairman of the Board of Trustees of LRGHealthcare, a director of Shalom TV and a director of the Lake Opechee Preservation Association. He remains an active golfer the Laconia Country Club. The Taylor Community will hold its annual meeting on November 11. Selig said the meeting is normally held in September but was delayed this year because of the leadership transition.
JONBENET from page 2 didn’t have the benefit of having the DNA results. “They reveal nothing about the evidence reviewed by the grand jury and are clearly the result of a confused and compromised process,” he said. While the killer’s identity is still unknown, Wood said there’s no mystery about the Ramseys’ role. “The Ramsey family is innocent,” he said. “That part of the case, based on the DNA evidence, is a done deal.” Boulder police, who were criticized for their handling of the investigation, issued a statement saying the documents show the grand jury agreed with investigators that probable
cause existed to file charges. However, the statement acknowledged that the evidence would have to meet a higher standard than probable cause for prosecutors to take the case to trial. The current district attorney, Stan Garnett, declined to comment but will publish an op-ed piece on Sunday, given the complexity of the case, a spokeswoman said. David Lane, a defense attorney not involved in the case, said prosecutors may have handed it over to grand jurors because problems in the investigation could have made it difficult to prosecute. But he said that could have backfired with a “runaway grand jury” that reached its own conclusions. see next page

Rx take-back day Saturday in Laconia
LACONIA — As part of their Red Ribbon Week, the Laconia Police and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency will today (Saturday) be hosting a drug-take-back day at the city police station. The service is free and anonymous and people can safely dispose of their unused, expired, or unwanted medication. In the past five years at these event, police said the DEA and their partners took back nearly 2-million pounds of pills and medication. Unused or unwanted medications are more likely than others the end up in the hands of people who can abuse them and the Laconia Police encourages residents to use the service. Police will have representative on hand to answer any questions.
Correction: Newton, not Newbury, N.H. has privatized DPW functions
A story that ran in The Daily Sun on October 16 about Sanbornton looking into privatizing the highway portion of its Public Works Department identified Newbury as one of the towns that has privatized highways. According to Town Administrator Bob Veloski, it should have been Newton.

from preceding page He said the indictments could have been an attempt to force the parents to turn against each other, which he said was unlikely because both were protected by laws that limit testimony of one spouse against another. “Somebody killed JonBenet Ramsey,” Lane said. “It sounds like they were accused of aiding and abetting each other, with the hope someone would crack and break. That didn’t happen, and prosecutors may
have decided not to go forward.” Although the grand jury foreman signed the 1999 indictments, prosecutors decided not to bring charges. Christina Habas, a retired judge who oversaw grand juries in Denver, said it’s at the discretion of the district attorney whether to file charges because prosecutors have to consider whether they can convince a trial jury of someone’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Correction: Selectmen not putting Kimball Castle issue on warrant
Gilford selectmen will not be putting a article on the 2014 Town Warrant regarding the draft petition submitted to them by the owners of Kimball Castle. While they previously voted not to support the draft of a petition that could have been addressed to Superior Court as written, the town is working with the town attorney to rework the document. The situation was incorrectly explained in an article that ran in the October 23 Daily Sun on page 8.

LACONIA — Ken Yorston, owner of A Cut Above Landscaping in Meredith recently helped the Laconia Ice Arena beautify its entrance with a generous donation of a new walkway design and installation. Yorston said the donation was his company’s “thank-you to the ice arena for providing such a positive environment for his daughter, and all the other youth that participate in programs at the arena”. In addition he said “I wasn’t really in a position to contribute financially, but after talking with arena manager Will Fay, I found out there absolutely was a way to support the arena. It was my honor, and I would encourage fellow business people in our area to find similar ways to give back to our community, and to support this undertaking at the arena.” Other local businesses who supported the project were Brian Gilbert at Gilbert Block, who donated the block and other materials, as well as Dave Rotonnelli at Appletree Nursery, who donated the plants. A Cut Above’s crew was Rob Powell, Josh Latulippe, and Cam Decormier The landscaping project is part of a larger capital campaign project that has been underway since the spring of 2012. “We’re about half way to our goal of $250,000.

that by about this time next year’’ said Fay. He said the campaign is still in need of financial donations, pledges, and sponsorships as well as donations of materials for improvements and volunteers willing to give their time. “There are always ways people can help,” Fay added. “The utility bills here are astronomical to say the least,” added Fay, who also pointed out that the refrigeration equipment at the rink is roughly 20 years old. “We have a lot of hard work ahead of us, but I am confident we will get things done. Just as we did when we built the arena, we will work hard to get the community involved in this next phase. We are continuing to reach out to community leaders, banks, and grant programs to help us accomplish our goals”. The Laconia Ice Arena “think rink for kids” Plan provides for improved energy efficiency upgrades, updated refrigeration equipment, as well as reduced fees for the youth & community. Contributions can be made in the following ways; cash, corporate sponsorship, grant money or matching funds. Labor, pledges and estate planning is also encouraged. Financial commitments will be made public, unless the donors choose to remain anonymous. For more information, or to help, contact Will Fay at 528-0789 or info@laconiaicearena.com

MEREDITH — The Meredith Rotary Club recently hosted 20 youth exchange students from Rotary District 7870, which covers much of Southern Vermont and Southern New Hampshire. The students in the youth exchange program were from Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador, France, Germany, Iceland, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Poland, Romania, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan, and Thailand. Students in the Rotary Youth Exchange Program spend the entire school year with host families in the United States. Two Meredith students joined the group, one who spent last year in Chile, and one who is Meredith’s candidate to be an exchange student during the 2014-15 academic school year. On October 11, students met their weekend host families at the Trinity Episcopal Church in Meredith, during a dinner sponsored by the Meredith Rotary Club. October 12 began with a trip to the Squam Lake Natural Science Center. From there, the group attended the Sandwich Fair, compliments of the Sandwich Fair Association. They then enjoyed winding their way through the corn maze at Moulton Farm. Later the participants went off to Funspot, the Weirs

Beach Go-Kart track, and making tie-dye shirts, before ending the day on the Mt. Washington dinner cruise. After spending October 13 with their Meredith weekend host families, the students returned to the towns that are hosting them for the year. Anyone interested in being an xchange student or hosting a student, during the 2015-16 academic year, should contact Dean Gulezian at 677-7172.

September was another strong month for residential home sales in the twelve communities covered by this report. There were 104 transactions at an average sales price of $406,327 for the month compared to 91 sales at $316,816 last September. Last month’s average sales price was pumped up by eight sales over $1 million with one sale coming in at $7 million. For the first three quarters of the year there have been 784 sales at an average price of $302,663 compared to 676 sales at an average of $299,060 for the same period in 2012. That’s a 15 percent increase in the total number of sales. That’s almost as scary as Halloween! And, as Halloween approaches, I felt it is my civic duty to provide homebuyers with some tips on determining whether a home could be haunted or not. After all, some people are more sensitive to otherworldly phenomenon than others and don’t want to live in a house with some unseen previous owners still there. It is kind of the same way some people get worked up about radon. You can’t see radon either, but it scares the bejeesus out of some folks. Anyway, it is worth a discussion because many times a great home is ruled out and not purchased because of something strange going on during a showing. As a realtor, I have a duty to set the record straight and clarify some of these “occur-

rences.” Realtors have had to take continuing education paranormal courses and can help you determine whether the unsettling event you just experienced was a haunting, your imagination, or just part of buying a home. Buying a home without a realtor can be pretty scary. The most common sign that a place is haunted will be that you will feel like you just walked through a cold spot or that the room suddenly drops in temperature. This could very well mean that you just walked through dear departed Uncle Josiah because he just couldn’t get out of the way in time. When you look at houses, try not to move too quickly and barge into rooms. This will give those souls still living there time to get out of your way. Taking your time also allows you to observe more of the home you are considering buying. It might also help you to determine if that sudden chill comes from a broken window or drafty door. Another common sign that you have an unwanted guest in the house is unexplained noises. Usually, these noises occur in the middle of the night in the pitch black, so if you hear them in broad daylight during the showing you can be assured things are going to get worse. That scurrying and scratching sound could be a squirrel in see next page

AutoServ employees in pink for Breast Cancer month
AutoServ has proudly been supporting Breast Cancer month in a big way. Pink balloons have covered the showrooms since October 1 and doors entering the showrooms have been adorned with pink ribbons. AutoServ was also the presenting sponsor for the Tanger Outlet Fir for a Cure 5K Run/Walk benefiting LRGHealthcare that was held in September. AutoServ also sponsored a team in making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Greater Lakes Region walk on October 20. Employees were treated to a bake sale, chili feast and Casual Fridays where all proceeds are going to breast cancer research. The highlight of the month so far was a “Pink Day” where employees were encouraged to wear pink to support the cause. (Courtesy photo)
from preceding page the ceiling...or maybe not. That banging sound could just be air in the heating pipes, but then you realize the house has forced hot air heat. Did that door just slam shut because Josiah is mad that you are here or is it because of sudden drop in air pressure in the house? Now, you are beginning to see why you need a realtor who can set you straight on these things. Sometimes on showings you hear hushed, faint whispers when you are in a room by yourself. That can be pretty unnerving, especially when you realize that they whispering about you. Was it your realtor talking to the listing agent? Perhaps not, the listing agent was outside... What about that uneasy feeling that you are being watched? If the homeowner didn’t leave during the showing it is can be very uncomfortable and that’s why we always try to insist they are not there. But what if Josiah didn’t leave either and it feels like he is up on the corner of the ceiling? Makes the hair stand up on your neck, doesn’t it? Buying a house on your own can be a scary thing. It is well documented that strange animal behavior is another indicator that there is an unknown
presence in a room. Animals have sharper senses than humans and their psychic abilities are much more finely tuned. I have been on many showings where the owner’s beloved pet was in his crate barking his lungs out when we came in to look at the house. That’s normal for a dog. Not so much for a cat. Could it be a sign that something else is going on? Many times on showings you may be unsettled by a shadow that you catch out of the corner of your eye. You might also be startled when you glance in the bathroom mirror and see someone lurking behind you. Then, with great relief, you realize it is your realtor. And behind him is Josiah. But that doesn’t scare you, because even though your realtor is pretty scary looking too, you have him between you and the unknown... Happy Halloween!

Franklin Savings Bank donation will help fund 2nd Annual LHS Chem-Free After Prom Party LACONIA — Laconia High School, the LHS SADD team and Stand Up Laconia publicly thank Franklin Savings Bank for their $1,000 donation that will be designated toward the schools 2nd Annual LHS Chem-Free After Prom Party. This gift was made possible by Franklin Savings Bank’s Annual Charity Softball Tournament which raises money each year for local groups and agencies that are in need of support. The employees of Franklin Savings Bank are poled each year to identify what groups will receive this support. The Laconia High School administrative team, members of LHS SADD and Stand Up
Laconia are thrilled that this year some of the charity proceeds went to the chem-free party! The chemfree party was initiated last year by Officer Steve Orton, the school resource officer at Laconia High School, and his SADD Team. The $1,000 check was received at Laconia High School on October 17 by Ken Sawyer, Regional Sales Manager of the Laconia and Gilford Offices of Franklin Savings Bank. The check was presented to Clare Persson, chairperson of Stand Up Laconia, a grass roots organization that was initiated out of Better Together and seeks to positively impact Laconia by reducing the amount of substance abuse occurring in our city. Also included in the picture are SADD members Savanah Bastis, Cierra Gonyea and Carly DeNauw, and Jim McCollum, Principal of Laconia High School and a member of The Stand Up Laconia team.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 26, 2013— Page 19
Final service on Sunday for Laconia’s oldest church building
LACONIA — For nearly two centuries the familiar, majestic old New England white clapboard church has graced Veterans Square in downtown Laconia with its steeple soaring high above the surrounding business community, other churches, and across the way the picturesque railroad station. However, following this Sunday morning’s service it will no longer house the Evangelical Baptist congregation which next week will move to its new home in Lakeport. After years of unsuccessfully seeking property in the local area, the decision was made to purchase Our Lady of the Lakes’ buildings in Lakeport when they were made available for sale. For some time, desperately needing more space to expand, the growing EBC congregation had necessitated two Sunday morning services. Since renovations in Lakeport have been ongoing for several months, for the immediate future Sunday meetings will be held in the property’s gymnasium located across Washington Street from the sanctuary. It is hoped that classrooms, an enlarged fellowship hall and other changes will be ready for occupation soon after the first of the year. Eventually, others will be scheduled as needed. For the handicapped, an elevator and ramp have been installed near the new entryway. Meanwhile, the gym is at ground level and shouldn’t be difficult for handicap entry. Church offices, including the pastor’s, business, and other related rooms, have been operating for over a year in the former large parsonage to the right of the church, separated by the parking lot. And unlike the downtown property, plenty of parking is available. Tomorrow, Remembrance Sunday, there will be just one service for everyone at 10 a.m. in Veterans Square. Among special features planned are video interviews with long-term members, singing of the older hymns, an illustrated historical retrospect by Pastor Dan Lyle, message by the Rev. Dr. Frank Accardy, a former pastor of the church, and a communion service led by Jeff Price, also a former pastor. A sister church has offered to staff the nursery so that everyone can participate in this historic event. Guests, especially those who may have attended EBC in the past, are invited to join together for this final salute to Veterans Square. Next Week, November 3, Celebration Sunday, begins a new era in the life of EBC. Another historic worship service will be held in the gym at the Lakeport campus. There will be just one service on that day, starting at 10 a.m. as well. Beginning Sunday, November 10, the current plan is to resume a two-service schedule, mainly because double services provide more attendance options, thus facilitating growth, and double services also make it possible for those involved in children’s ministry to both serve and worship on any given Sunday. Therefore, starting on that day service times will be 9 and 11 a.m. , with a shared coffee break in between. “I realize that’s a lot of change to process but EBC is in a season of change and change is a fact of life,” Interim Pastor Lynn Kent noted recently, adding further that he, “as well as Joshua Stone, transitional assistant pastor, and Dan Lyle, worship pastor, is convinced that these changes are in the very best interest of our church and especially those whom we want to reach.” Listed on the National Historic Register, the white structure so symbolic of early New England churches has been a familiar and beloved landmark in downtown Laconia ever since the construction by the Congregationalists in 1836. At that time, known as the North Church, it stood at the corner of Church and Main streets next to property later occupied by Gale Memorial Library which was built between 1901 and 1903. Shortly thereafter, the Congregationalists built a new stone church across Pleasant Street and sold the wooden building to the First Christian Church (formerly known as The Peoples Church, now as Evangelical Baptist) which had the structure moved to its current location across from the railroad station. Selling price of the old church was $1,000 ($600 for the building and $400 for the pipe organ). It cost another $1,999 to move it across the square to the
new lot which cost $1,780. Transported on rollers, it went with everything intact. Nor was the building damaged many years later when the 179-foot steeple was destroyed in the 1938 hurricane, falling across the square and landing on the roof of the depot. The first Sunday service in the relocated and refurbished church took place on Jan. 2, 1904. Sadly, especially for those who, with their families and ancestors have attended services in this building for so many years, the structure will no longer house a church. However, as noted recently by David Provan, chairman of the building committee, “We realize that buildings are only tools. This campus will allow us to spread God’s Word, to help those in the Lakes Region who are in need and hurting, to adequately accommodate those who want to join us, as well as to enable us to mature and grow as Christians.”
“I’m impressed by the congregation’s unity and sense of adventure about this move”, observed Pastor Kent, continuing: “It would be so easy for them to cling to what has always been and miss what could be. It seems like those who have worshipped at the Veterans Square building the longest have been the most enthusiastic about moving forward to Lakeport. They understand that the church isn’t a building but rather the people who worship, fellowship and serve together. God is being glorified and the Kingdom of Christ advanced because of this practical demonstration of faith. It is a privilege for me to serve with this wonderful church at this exciting time.” Papers are expected to be passed this month by David and Maureen Kennedy of Hampton who plan to convert the building into an Irish restaurant and pub.
LACONIA — On Sunday, October 27, the Congregational Church of Laconia, United Church of Christ will welcome the Rev. Talitha Arnold to its 9:30 a.m. worship service. Rev. Arnold has been the Minister of the United Church of Santa Fe since 1987, when the church was a 7-year-old new church start of the United Church of Christ. It is the only UCC congregation in New Mexico’s capital city and throughout northern New Mexico. Since that time, the congregation has tri-
pled in membership and is known in Santa Fe for its worship and music ministries, education programs for all ages, outreach and advocacy, particularly in the areas of public education, poverty issues, and the environment. The church has a 15-year partnership with two local elementary schools, as well as with the Santa Fe Watershed, and two local homeless shelters. Yearly mission trips for adults and youth go to both the Arizona/Sonora (Mexico) border and the Navajo reservation.

TILTON — Magic Blades Figure Skating Club (MBFSC) and Plymouth State Skating Academy (PSSA) have joined together to enhance their skating programs in the Lakes Region. Magic Blades was founded in 1997 by Barbara Adams, and it operated clubs in both Waterville Valley and Laconia until 2006. In 2007 it moved its home ice to the Tilton School Ice Arena where it has stayed a small but vibrant fixture in the local community. When the Plymouth Ice Center opened in the summer of 2010, Adams, an employee of Plymouth State University, assisted with the start-up of the learn-to-skate program. She called upon her familiar Magic Blades coaching staff, and the two programs have worked closely, but separately ever since. Nicole Cochrane, of Laconia is the current skating director for PSSA program which is experiencing a recent growth in membership. Dave Guyger, the PSU arena manager, stated, “I’ve worked with Magic Blades since their days at Waterville. Magic Blades is synonymous with quality skating instruction in the area. It makes sense to acknowledge the close connection and work together for the benefit of skaters in the region.” This year the two clubs will not only be sharing its talented staff, but promoting skating among its members as well as to the larger community. Both
clubs are US Figure Skating Basic Skills programs offering membership through USFS, as well as the USFS badge program, showing progress through the skills. Both programs offer 30 minute lessons with 30 minutes of free, practice ice. Skaters ages three through adult are welcome to join. PSSA has opportunity for beginner hockey players to learn skating skills along with some stick and puck training. MBFSC accepts beginner hockey skaters to learn skating skills but does not incorporate stick and puck use; skaters are directed to local hockey programs when they are ready for advanced training. MBFSC and PSSA programs are finishing their fall lesson program soon, and are currently accepting registration for the November/December classes. Lessons at Plymouth State are on Sunday evenings from 5-6. Session II begins on Sunday, October 27 and runs through December 8 with a skills exhibition on Sunday December 15. Magic Blades will host a free skate and registration on Monday, November 4, at the Tilton School Ice Arena 6-7 p.m. Session II at Magic Blades will begin on Monday November 11 with a skills exhibition on Monday December 16. For more information visit the program webpages: www.MagicBlades. org or www.Plymouth.edu/Arena .

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Before you take a rule away, make sure you know the reason it was established in the first place. Something seemingly archaic could still have a solid application in these complex contemporary times. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The party needs you. You have a compelling energy, and you will engage people with your enthusiasm. Even if you only show up to a soiree for a half-hour, it will be better because you were a part of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). One way to keep from getting overwhelmed is to try not to notice that so much needs to be done. Instead, focus small. What needs to be done in this one little corner? You can slowly expand from there. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26). You are your own source of strength at the top of this new cycle, and it’s more than enough to get you to a cherished goal by February. In fact, learning to depend on yourself will ensure that when you assemble your team in March, it will be with people as worthy and able as you are. You’ll solve a puzzle in April. Pisces and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 28, 13, 37 and 44.
TUNDRA
HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19). If you put someone on a pedestal, they have to look down on you -- that’s just the way it goes. So as much as you like a person, don’t elevate them to a status that makes communication awkward. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to put your best foot forward, but not if “forward” means walking off a cliff. That’s why you may choose to follow for a while. You’re wise to observe until you get the lay of the land. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Acceptance won’t give you power over a situation, but it’s the first step. Without acceptance, you’ll have zero control, because you can’t influence what you deny exists. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You need some afternoon solitude so you can handle something essential to a smooth living experience. Later tonight, what’s on the agenda will be better experienced with a friend. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be feeling “on,” and you’ll attract attention and elicit laughs when you want them. Just be sure to turn the energy around by listening to others and inviting them to step up to the fun. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be as effective as you are original. If a majority of the people don’t understand you, so be it. It’s better to be seen truly as yourself by one person than for a hundred people to see you pretending. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Comedy is stress relief. When you feel yourself tensing up, go for the “funny” wherever you can find it. You probably won’t have to look further than your own family. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may be time to drop your resistance to another person’s authority and just let that person lead for a while. The power struggle is likely a huge waste of time. Meanwhile, there’s so much you could be learning. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life is good because your favorite people also happen to favorite you. It helps that you are naturally drawn to the easy-going types who aren’t waiting for you to make a mistake or reveal a flaw.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Oct. 26, the 299th day of 2013. There are 66 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 26, 1861, the legendary Pony Express officially ceased operations, giving way to the transcontinental telegraph. (The last run of the Pony Express was completed the following month.) On this date: In 1774, the First Continental Congress adjourned in Philadelphia. In 1825, the Erie Canal opened in upstate New York, connecting Lake Erie and the Hudson River. In 1881, the “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” took place in Tombstone, Ariz. In 1911, “The Queen of Gospel,” singer and civil rights activist Mahalia Jackson, was born in New Orleans. In 1942, Japanese planes badly damaged the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in the Battle of Santa Cruz Islands during World War II. (The Hornet sank early the next morning.) In 1949, President Harry S. Truman signed a measure raising the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour. In 1958, Pan American Airways flew its first Boeing 707 jetliner from New York to Paris in 8 hours and 41 minutes. In 1972, national security adviser Henry Kissinger declared, “Peace is at hand” in Vietnam. In 1979, South Korean President Park Chunghee was shot to death during a dinner party along with his chief bodyguard by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Jae-kyu, who was later executed. In 1980, Israeli President Yitzhak Navon became the first Israeli head of state to visit Egypt. In 1984, “Baby Fae,” a newborn with a severe heart defect, was given the heart of a baboon in an experimental transplant in Loma Linda, Calif. (Baby Fae lived 21 days with the animal heart.) In 1994, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Prime Minister Abdel Salam Majali of Jordan signed a peace treaty during a ceremony at the Israeli-Jordanian border attended by President Bill Clinton. In 2001, President George W. Bush signed the USA PATRIOT Act, giving authorities unprecedented ability to search, seize, detain or eavesdrop in their pursuit of possible terrorists. Ten years ago: Thirteen deaths in Southern California were reported as wildfires fed by hot Santa Ana winds flared into gigantic waves of flame that devoured entire neighborhoods. Five years ago: U.S. military helicopters launched a rare attack on Syrian territory, killing eight people in a strike Damascus condemned as “serious aggression.” One year ago: After leaving more than 40 people dead in the Caribbean, Hurricane Sandy headed toward the eastern United States, with forecasters warning that it would merge with two winter storm systems to create a megastorm. In what amounted to an economic closing argument for his campaign, Mitt Romney told an Iowa crowd that the nation needed “bold changes” to help revive the economy.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 26, 2013— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: When I was in high school, I collected articles that I found inspirational and motivational. One of my most prized pieces appeared in Ann Landers’ column in 1978. It was “Heaven’s Very Special Child” by Edna Massimilla, who had a daughter with severe disabilities. For some reason, I cut out this letter and glued it to a piece of blue construction paper. I carried it with me through college when I studied to be an occupational therapist. After I graduated, I packed up all of my college “memories” and stored them at my parents’ house. I married and worked for 15 years in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and home health care. When my third son was born with Down syndrome, he shook, rattled and rolled our world. I had never worked with children with special needs, nor did I have any idea what it was like in “their” world. I was extremely hurt, angry and all the other emotions attached to grief. After three days, I remembered that column and, amazingly, found it at my parents’ house in the first box I opened. My son is now 20 years old and has just graduated from high school. Yes, we have had trials, challenges and sadness, but we also have had miracles and pure joy. Would you be able to reprint this piece? My copy has yellowed, and this time, I would like to frame it. -- Missouri Dear Missouri: How prescient of you to have cut this heartwarming piece out of the newspaper when you were only in high school. We are, of course, delighted to reprint it. The first time it appeared, hundreds of readers asked for copies. We know it has touched thousands over the years. Mrs. Massimilla is a remarkable woman -- 97 years old,
still writing, playing the organ and helping others. If you would like more information regarding her work, please enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope and send it to: This Is Our Life Publications, PO Box 21, Hatboro, PA 19040. Heaven’s Very Special Child by Edna Massimilla Copyright 1956 A meeting was held, quite far from earth “It’s time again for another birth” Said the Angels to the Lord above, “This special child will need much love.” Her progress may seem very slow, Accomplishments she may not show And she’ll require extra care From all the folks she meets down there. She may not run or laugh or play Her thoughts may seem quite far away In many ways she won’t adapt, And she’ll be known as handicapped. So let’s be careful where she’s sent We want her life to be content Please, Lord, find the right parents who Will do this special job for You. They will not realize right away The leading role they’re asked to play But with this child sent from above Comes stronger faith and richer love. And soon they’ll know the privilege given In caring for this gift from Heaven. Their precious charge, so meek and mild Is heaven’s very special child.

Gilmanton Church hosting Harvest Party on Sunday Rock cover band
GILMANTON — The Second Annual Harvest Party will be held on Sunday October 27 from 2-4 p.m. at the Gilmanton Community Church (corners building). The churh is located at the intersection of route 107 and 140. This is a free event and all are welcome. Children are encouraged to arrive in costume (family friendly please) to celebrate the harvest
time. There will be games including scarecrow ring toss, bean bag throw, the ever popular donut on a string, and more. Kids can decorate their own cookie and join in the costume parade. Bring a non perishable food item to donate and take home a keepsake photo of yourself in our scarecrow cutout. Any questions call the church office at 267-6150.
LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee, in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library, presents ‘’The Namesake’’, Monday, November 4 at 6:20 p.m. The Namesake depicts the struggles of a young couple brought together in an arranged marriage in India, tenderly told with a bit of humor. Soon after, they immigrate from West Bengal, India to the United States, settling in New York City. The film
chronicles the family’s cross-cultural experiences, particularly of their son and daughter. The father, a university lecturer, struggles to understand his son. Their son’s name is Gogol, named after Russian author Nikolai Gogol. It becomes an embarrassment for him. The film chronicles Gogol’s cross-cultural experiences and his exploration of his Indian heritage as the story shifts between the United States and India. Gogol starts off as a lazy, pot smoking teenager indifferent to his cultural background. He resents many of the customs and traditions his family upholds and doesn’t understand his parents. After a summer trip to India before starting college at Yale, Gogol starts opening up to his culture and becomes more accepting of it. The Laconia International Film Series is open free to everyone. Brief informal discussion follows the film. Light snacks are provided.

from preceding page decorated by their unseen friends. So the bears unwittingly save Christmas for their human hosts, yet are still able to enjoy their own fine celebration. And, as with the other books, the bears do so all while cleverly avoiding confrontation with their human friends.
Rock cover band Tripwire will be playing at the Franklin Elks tonight at eight p.m. Shown are Rob Nadeau (Lead Singer), George Bierbaum (Bass/Guitar), Kevin Emmott (Lead Guitar). Nadeau lives in Tilton and is the lead singer of an original band, Angry Octopus, that has just released a new single, Your Ways, that is getting rave reviews and can be heard on The Hawk 104.9 and Frank 106.3 FM.
