Councilors swap sharp opinions on $1.8M school borrowing BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The City Council gave a first reading to the School District’s request to authorize borrowing $1,828,000 to fund renovations at Laconia High School last night, but only after a sharp exchange between Councilors Brenda Baer (Ward 4), who alone dissented, and Henry Lipman (Ward 3), chairman of the council’s Finance

Committee. Councilors Lipman, Matt Lahey (Ward 2) and Armand Bolduc (Ward 6) voted for the first reading of the resolution to authorize the borrowing.

A public hearing on the issue, followed by the second and final resolution to authorize the borrowing is scheduled for the next regular meeting of the council on November 12.

Maine’s ‘North Pond Hermit’ to be released
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — A man who lived nearly three decades in the Maine woods, surviving brutal winters, breaking into houses and avoiding detection by police and neighbors now faces a big challenge: reintegrating into society. Christopher Knight, known as the North Pond Hermit, pleaded guilty Monday to 13 counts of burglary and theft and was admitted into a special court program that will allow him to be released from jail and live and work in the community under the supervision of court officials. Police have said the 47-year-old Knight may have been responsible for as many as 1,000 burglaries for food, clothing, camping and cooking gear from homes and camps while living in the woods of the central Maine town of Rome for 27 years before his arrest in April. Walter McKee, Knight’s lawyer, said he believes Knight is ready to be free, but acknowledged that he likely faces big hurdles after spending so many years isolated from the community. see HERMIT page 3

Penn State to give $59.7 million to Sandusky victims HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Penn State said Monday it is paying $59.7 million to 26 young men over claims of child sexual abuse at the hands of former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, a man once revered as a university icon who is now serving what is effectively a life prison sentence. Nearly two years after the retired coach was first charged with child molestation, the school said 23 deals were fully signed and three were agreements in principle. It did not disclose the names of the recipients. The school faces six other claims, and the university says it believes some of those do not have merit while others may produce settlements.
University president Rodney Erickson issued a statement calling the announcement a step forward for victims and the school. “We cannot undo what has been done, but we can and must do everything possible to learn from this and ensure it never happens again at Penn State,” said Erickson, who announced the day Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 that Penn State was determined to compensate his victims. The settlements have been unfolding since mid-August, when attorneys for the accusers began to disclose them. Penn State has not been confirming them, waiting instead to announce deals at once. Harrisburg lawyer Ben Andreozzi, who helped negotiate several of the settle-
ments, said his clients were satisfied. “They felt that the university treated them fairly with the economic and noneconomic terms of the settlement,” said Andreozzi, who also represents some others who have come forward recently. Those new claims have not been presented to the university, he said. One client represented by St. Paul, Minn., attorney Jeff Anderson signed off on an agreement in the past week and the other is basically done, he said. Anderson counts his two clients as among the three that have been classified as agreements in principle, which Penn State said means final documentation is expected to be completed in the next few weeks. see PENN STATE page 17
LONDON (AP) — The trial of two former top editors of Rupert Murdoch’s defunct News of the World began Monday with the selection of a jury to hear the complex and high-profile case sparked by a tabloid phone-hacking scandal that has shaken Murdoch’s media empire and tarnished the image of British journalism. Rebekah Brooks and Andy Coulson — both one-time senior Murdoch aides and associates of British Prime Minister David Cameron — are charged with conspiring to hack the phones of celebrities and other people in the public eye and with making illegal payments to officials for information. They sat side-by-side in the dock at
London’s Central Criminal Court along with six other defendants on the first day of a trial that Judge John Saunders said could last up to six months. This is the first criminal trial stemming from revelations in 2011 of tabloid phonehacking — a scandal that exposed a murky web of ties binding Britain’s media, political and police establishments. Exposure of illegal eavesdropping by the News of the World led Murdoch to shut the 168-yearold newspaper and spurred a judge-led, media-ethics inquiry and several wideranging criminal investigations. Dozens of journalists and officials have been arrested. see HACKING page 17
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A federal judge determined Monday that new Texas abortion restrictions place an unconstitutional burden on women seeking to end a pregnancy, a ruling that keeps open dozens of abortion clinics across the state while officials appeal. The ruling by District Judge Lee Yeakel came one day before key parts of the law the Legislature approved in July were set to take effect.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jon Lester pitched the Boston Red Sox within a whisker of yet another World Series championship. Lester bested Adam Wainwright once again, journeyman David Ross hit a tiebreaking double in the seventh inning and the Red Sox downed the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 Monday night to take a 3-2 Series edge. David Ortiz delivered his latest big hit, too, sending this bearded band of Red Sox back to Fenway Park with a chance to clinch their third crown in a decade. Not since 1918 has Boston won the title at its own ballpark. John Lackey gets the first chance Wednesday night against St. Louis rookie sensation Michael Wacha. A Cardinals win would set up a most spooky proposition for both teams — Game 7 on Halloween night. Ortiz enjoyed even more success in Game 5 after moving from the cleanup spot to the third slot. He is 11 for 15 (.733) in this Series with two homers, six RBIs and four walks. Lester enhanced his reputation as an October ace with every pitch. He allowed one run and four hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking out seven without a walk. Nearly the same line he had in beating Wainwright in the opener. “I think the biggest thing is me and Rossy have had a good rhythm,” Lester said. “Early on, we just went back to our game plan from Game 1 and just fell back on that and really just tried to make them swing the bats early, and we were able to do that.” The lefty who’s won all three of his career World Series starts had just one scary inning, when Matt
Holliday homered in the fourth, Carlos Beltran flied out to the wall and Yadier Molina hit a liner. Other than that, Lester was sharp as a knife. “He’s just a stud,” said Ross, the backup catcher who gets paired with Lester. “We rely on him. That’s why he’s the ace of our staff, because he goes out and pitches like that.” Lester’s biggest brush with major trouble came well before his first pitch. He was getting loose near the warning track when a team of eight Clydesdales pulling a beer wagon came trotting by — it’s a Busch Stadium tradition and Lester stood aside to watch the horses. Koji Uehara closed for his second save. No crazy endings this time, either, following one night with an obstruction call and the next with Uehara’s game-finishing pickoff. Ortiz put the Red Sox ahead with an RBI double in the first, hitting the first pitch after Dustin Pedroia doubled on an 0-2 curve. Ross, a graybeard on a team led by scraggly veterans, broke a 1-all tie when he hooked a drive just inside the left-field line, and the ball bounced into the seats for a go-ahead double. How about that? It’s nice to drive in runs,” Ross said. “I’ve got to credit the guys in front of me.” Jacoby Ellsbury later hit an RBI single, and Ross was thrown out at the plate trying to score on the play. A day after Ortiz delivered a stirring, in-game pep talk to rev up the Red Sox, the Cardinals could’ve used some inspiration from Big Papi. That, or at least a visit from the good-luck Rally Squirrel from their 2011 title run.

HERMIT from page 2 “A lot has changed in 30 years,” he said. “And going from a life of solitude to being part of our modern society would be a challenge for anyone,” he said in an interview before Monday’s hearing. A date has not been set for Knight’s release, but McKee said it could be within a few months. The North Pond Hermit had become a legend in the town of about 1,000 residents to the point where summer cottage owners left food out for him so he wouldn’t break in during the colder months, police have said. Under the special program, which typically takes from one to three years to complete, Knight will get help finding a job and a place to live and can get alcohol abuse and mental health counseling and treatment, McKee said. He also will be brought in for weekly hearings, undergo frequent drug and alcohol testing and have to comply with a nightly curfew. If he successfully completes the program, he won’t have to serve any more jail time. But if fails to meet its requirements, he could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison, said Maeghan Maloney, district attorney for Kennebec and Somerset counties. Maloney and McKee told reporters after the hearing that they agreed that Knight’s release poses no threat to the community and that his participation in the program is the best way to help him move forward. “We want him to have a successful reintegration into the community and I was not convinced that if he went to state prison that that would be possible,” Maloney said. As to what compelled Knight to vanish from his home and spend so many years tucked away in the woods, McKee said, “I think it’s something we may never know.”

Life’s realities One of the best things you can do for someone is to give them a job. A job can require significant physical skills and detailed knowledge about a particular function. That could be as a carpenter, a plumber, a lumber jack, an automobile mechanic, or any other number of jobs. In the medical area, bright people spend up to 12 or 13 years after high school, learning and polishing their skills in their chosen specialty. While their physical requirement may not be the same as that of a carpenter, in many cases their need to be critically focused and precise in their movements for hours on end in an operating room, may even be more taxing on their body than what the carpenter endures. And in the case of the surgeon, another’s life may hang in the balance. Every job brings with it a need for knowledge and effort. And, regardless of the field of endeavor, not everyone is as skilled or accomplished as their fellow workers. There is a natural “bell curve”, or ranking of people based on their level of skills and abilities and their accomplishments. Normally, in any field, those who perform at the highest levels of skills and productivity are the ones who are paid the most. Each job has a value in the marketplace, and that value is most often based on supply and demand. The level of training or education needed for the various jobs differs greatly. A person may become adept in one of the manual arts after apprenticing for three or four years under a journeyman in that field. In some trades, the state requires the apprentice first pass a comprehensive test to show that they are qualified to be a journeyman in their chosen field. In most cases, the process is rigorous enough that there is rarely an over abundance of qualified workers in any one of the skill sets. While there is competition to get work among those workers, the demand is often high enough that good wages are paid for their labor. In the case of physicians and surgeons, they must go through very costly and rigorous learning and training to become licensed in their fields. The supply of them is limited and hospitals, clinics, and research facilities not only compete for their services, the individuals themselves have the option of starting their independent practice, and that increases their competitive value in the marketplace. Other
“professionals” are in law, accounting, engineering, computer technology, and a few other specialties. Which ever the professional skill set one chooses, there will still be a natural “bell curve” where the most competent and productive performers will command higher wages. There is also a wide variety of what are called unskilled labor jobs. That label is not meant to demean in any way the individuals performing those jobs, it is meant to show the difference between those jobs and those that have a basic requirement of training and/or education in order to be licensed to work in certain fields. Examples of what are called unskilled workers are often in the service industries and agriculture. The supply and demand for these positions is generally quite different than those that require more training to develop their skill set. Because of the greater availability of people to do these jobs, the laws of supply and demand place less monetary value on them. Again, individual performance will dictate where in the “bell curve” the person fits, and he or she will be compensated accordingly Young people in particular should be aware that their future earnings will be based on which of these categories they are in . . . unskilled, skilled, or professional. Each of these categories, these jobs, are essential to a functioning society and are to be respected. Not everyone is capable of becoming a skilled neurosurgeon. Not everyone has the interest or desire to become a skilled plumber or electrician. Not everyone wants to work in a service industry. It is up to the individual to figure out the field of work in which they want to spend a large part of their life. Sadly, often times a person’s station in life may have been determined by the decisions they made as a youngster, as a teenager. Didn’t study hard for that exam? Or that other one? Or that other, other one? Was that lack of study reflected in your SAT score? Won’t that affect what college you can get in to? Or if you can get into a college at all? Missed a lot of school because you overslept? Is oversleeping now a habit? Try being late when you’re apprenticing with that master electrician or plumber. Sorry Charlie, we can’t waste our time teaching a no show. Every job is to be respected . . . just be aware that you get out of it commensurate with what you put into it . . . and it starts when you’re a kid. (Bob Meade is a Laconia resident.)

LETTERS Perhaps the World Series will take attention off all the hate speak To The Daily Sun, According to Wikipedia: “Hatred/ Hate is a deep and emotional extreme dislike; it is often associated with feelings of anger and a disposition towards hostility”. I regularly read this paper and increasingly find that many of the letters written display anger and hostility representing hate for our president. After seeing portions of, and reading about, the recent “Value Voters Summit” I was left with the feeling that the only thing they seemed to value is their hate of anything related to the President of the United States and their anger and hostility about anything he says or does. The content of so many letters and of the speeches at the Value Summit are focused on tearing down the president or anyone who may write a positive thing about him or Obamacare. They offer no constructive thoughts or suggestions, just bullying and hate speak. I guess I should not be surprised as many writing the letters and speaking at the Summit are fueled by organizations such as the Tea Party, Americans for Prosperity, the Heritage Foundation and Freedom Works; all organizations that depend on the hate of others to spread their divisive messages. Blinded by the emotion of hate renders individuals unable to care about the truth and accepting of any information that satisfies their anger and hostility. If you read the claims made in the letters of writers such as Mr. Ewing, Mr. Boutin and Mr. Earle, to name a few, you know many of their claims have already been discredited by credible, non-partisan sources such as the Kaiser Foundation, Pew Research and PolitiFact. If you listened to the speeches from the “Value Voters Summit” you heard the long ago discredited claims made against Pres. Obama and Obamacare continued to be repeated and applauded by
the hate frenzied attendees. Blinded by the emotion of hate allows individuals and groups to believe they can say and do anything and makes them willing to spend fortunes on it. Shortly after Pres. Obama started his second term, a coalition of conservative activists led by for former Atty. General Edwin Meese met and plotted a strategy that played out this month. Their “blueprint to defunding Obamacare” was a takeno-prisoners strategy asserting that Republicans could derail the health care overhaul if conservative lawmakers were willing to push their fellow GOP members into cutting off financing for the entire federal government. We saw this long hatched plan play out as the Tea Party/GOP shut down the Government. It cost the country over $24B and actually resulted in an improved view of Obamacare while leading the Republications, primarily the Tea Party, to a decline in their favorability ratings. I appreciate that we all have the opportunity to express our views but am personally tired of the hate and bullying displayed in so many letters, Mr. Boutin’s letter published on October 19 is a representation of this. He continues his routine rant against our president, Obamacare and the Dems while taunting Kate Miller to reply to him. His letter does not deserve reply, although those who love to fact check could have a field day with it. Consider the benefit to our local and broader community if all the effort and emotion put into the hate and bullying was channeled for constructive purpose. Perhaps the World Series can at least take attention off the hate speak and give us all at least a short reprieve. Denise Doyle Meredith

LETTERS We keep lowering definition of who is poor, creating dependency To The Daily Sun, There is no person in the Lakes Region who could benefit more from an economics and tax class than Bernadette Loesch. Bernadette has the audacity to accuse others of being narrow minded when the truth is she does not know what the hell she is talking about. I was a tax and business consultant for 15 years so I know just a smidgen about taxes and economics. Bernadette simply does her best to escalate division and hatred in America, things we already have an too much of. She suggests the wealthy want to earn and keep their money. Don’t we all? That is a human instinct, not a rich one. The rich should alone should be pilloried by an uninformed, socialist for a trait we all share. The facts are, the wealthy, represented by the top 20 percent of earners already pay about 80 percent of ALL the income taxes collected in America. Corporate tax rates at 35 percent are about the HIGHEST of any developed nation on earth. This ONE FACT explains in good part why the Obama economy STAGNATES and the MIDDLE CLASS suffers. All as American business thrives, having expanded its footprint successfully every place BUT HERE to avoid HIGH TAXATION. Over and over Wall Street hits historical records while government can’t design a single WEB SITE or FIX ANYTHING. FIFTY PERCENT of the people in America pay ZERO INCOME TAX — thanks to the RICH. Bernadette says that is not ENOUGH FREELOADERS, we need more. Who the hell thinks people paying no income taxes are capable to make voting decisions that go beyond who will provide them the HIGHEST welfare handouts? Demented Democrats like Bernadette demand security, not from WORK but from their VOTE. Such people are not STAKEHOLDERS in tax policy decisions. They are just TAKERS from YOU. They want OTHERS to pay their way and they do not care who it is. The YOUNG are going to pay BILLIONS to the point of bankruptcy for the “sick” under Obamacare. NOT THE RICH! Does Bernadette give two craps for the harm caused to them? NOPE. The U.S. Constitution does not imbibe Bernadette or anyone else with dispensing economic equality or that the concept of social justice even EXISTS. The Constitution guarantees no equality of economic outcome. It only implies an equal opportunity for all, nothing more. This country has MORE SOCIALISM TODAY that it has had in the past 100 years. Capitalism has been steadily diluted for the past century, never more assaulted than by Obama. The result, this country is WALLOWING in a record amount of self-inflicted,
socialist-induced DEBT that will ruin the lives of our kids who will pay for this insane spending spree. We have more social, safety nets, of greater variety, with longer durations than ever. We have eased the qualifications to almost all of them to the point of absolute absurdity. There are countless studies that PROVE increasing unemployment benefits only lengthens the time people spend unemployed. Today, we have the smallest percentage of the eligible working population, working in more than 30 years, as we OFFER the best and longest unemployment benefits EVER. We have record food stamps because we keep REDUCING the qualification to get them. Disability insurance has become just another pure form of welfare. The past few years has seen the numbers on disability DOUBLE. Why? because we have REDUCED the qualifications to become eligible for disability. A week-long head ache or back ache has suddenly become the TICKET to $300,000 worth of TOTALLY FREE government money. Lawyers GUARANTEE you will not be turned down for the benefit. We have put more people on disability in the past five years under Obama than we put on in the previous 50. We keep LOWERING and LOWERING the definition of WHO IS POOR, loosening the path to a lifetime of welfare and DEPENDENCY on YOU. I repeat YOU. I am all for a HAND UP. Just not for lifetime HANDOUTS made ever ever easier, DESTROYING the incentive for people to take responsibility for their own LIVES and their own DECISIONS. The majority of people who fail most often get there from a lifetime of poor choices. After 100 years of the great New DEAL from FDR ,the GREAT New Society from LBJ, the great humanity of JFK, Medicare, Medicaid, disability insurance, unemployment insurance and more welfare, whirly gigs and contraptions than anyone can shake a stick at all PROMISES SCREAMED TO INCREASE EQUALITY by Democrats like BERNADETTE what do we have? RECORD POVERTY RECORD POOR and RECORD WELFARE, high unemployment, a lousy, stagnant, economy and ZERO change in the distribution of wealth In America, with Democrats and Bernadette screaming the SOLUTION to all out troubles is MORE SOCIALISM. Whether this is insanity, ignorance, or plain and ordinary stupidity is hard to ascertain. But it sure is hubris and arrogance that has no equal. Democrats like Bernadette will NEVER stop demonizing the successful of this country and their taxes will never be high enough. It is simply a deep, character flaw. Tony Boutin Gilford

Talk about condemning an entire class of people, with no exceptions To The Daily Sun, I had to laugh out loud at the hypocrisy of the lady who, in your October 22 edition, bemoaned the idea that people condemn everyone who receives public assistance in any way as taking advantage of the system, yet in the same letter demonizes all of the so called one percent of “Uber Rich” as she characterizes them as follows — “The one percent of the wealthy want to keep all of what they have without caring about or feeling any brotherly concern or responsibility for others who are less fortunate than them.”
Talk about condemning an entire class of people with no exception! Hasn’t she ever heard of people like Bill and Melissa Gates or Warren Buffet, to name a few of the top of head, who have voluntarily given millions if not billions of their personal fortunes to many worthy causes? You can’t have it both ways. People needed public assistance are not all leches any more than all so called “Uber Rich” are not unfeeling, selfish tightwads. Richard Purington Belmont
Everything was great about my stay except for the lack of recycling To The Daily Sun, On September 23 I entered LRGH and had my right hip replaced. The procedure went well. I was so pleased with all of the nurses, aides and therapists. They had such a great attitude which made my stay very pleasant. On September 26 I was transferred to Golden View Retreat in Meredith for rehab. I had a private room which was very home like. There were a number of choices on the menu and
everything was delicious. I had therapy twice a day. I was very impressed by the nurses, aid and therapists and everyone else I came in contact with. I recommend Golden View for anyone that needs rehab. There was one thing that disturbed me, and that was the need for recycling. A great many items that were recyclable went into the trash. Carole F.

LETTERS I’m still waiting for one specific example of a Fox News lie To The Daily Sun, Another day and Obama’s much criticized ACA sign-up boondoggle shows no signs of improvement. Young folks would post lol (laughing out loud) if they we not so embarrassed by voting for the incompetent community organizer. Funny how they keep saying those of us who didn’t vote for the man are racist while they voted for him exactly for the color of his skin, imo (in my opinion). After all he had zero accomplishments to his record. It might have been different if he had signed aboard some competent help but his crew consists of equally deficient talent or more so. You know it’s bad when even the unions are screaming their discontent. Still nothing moves the man, he has a plan and he’s sticking to it no matter how many other people it hurts. It’s for the greater good of socialism you know, we must copy the European models even while the Europeans are working to get out from under those models. I read they are having some success too. There approach is for austerity and raising taxes. Conservatives here are pilloried by the left because we want austerity without raising taxes. The left’s true disciples call us villains and liars because we want smaller effi-
cient government with lass waist and corruption, what extreme positions. I see alias L.J. Siden is much disturbed that I wrote that no L.J. Siden exists, based on reliable information. Does L.J. deny he is using an alias? He says he has addressed my accusation that the left uses lies and misinformation, while true he has not attacked my person, I still must wonder why the alias? Now about the “birthers”. Obama has only himself to blame for that because he used fraud to get into the collages he attended by claiming to be a foreign student, traveled on a foreign passport and generally lied his way through. Nuf said! I’d still invite any liberal to give readers an example of a lie told by Fox News. It’s one of their favorite smears but as yet, after years, I have heard none. They run for cover when challenged saying things like “it’s all lies” or “I don’t have the time now”. And how about the one where they claim the Tea Party are all racists, but have yet to show any evidence of any extensive racism among members. Plenty of examples of lies on NBC, CNN and such though. Maybe they just get confused by all those initials. Steve Earle Hill
Thanks to Bank of N.H. for giving Full Basket Co-op temp home To The Daily Sun, The Full Basket Co-op, a local farmer sales cooperative, would like to express its gratitude to the Bank of New Hampshire for allowing us to use their atrium for our market deliveries for the past three weeks. We had arranged to be at Pitman’s Freight Room, but the fire they experienced meant we needed to find an alternative location on short notice. The atrium space worked great for us and was very convenient for our customers. As local small farmers we appreciate the support the Bank of New
Hampshire has shown for the Thursday Outdoor Marketplace where we have a sales booth during the regular market season. Though a small gesture for the bank, it meant a lot to our group. We’ll see our customers at Pitman’s Freight Room this week, and for the rest of the fall market season. To learn more about the Full Basket Co-op, visit www.minglewoodfarm.co.nf.

Candidate’s walk on WOW Trail gives advocates chance to tout its benefits RogeR Amsden
FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Only a few people turned out for a Walk with the Candidates along the WOW Trail Saturday morning and most of the conversation of those taking part centered on the trail itself and the role it can play in the city’s economy. The event was described by Gretchen Gandini, WOW Trail executive director, as a ‘’walk and talk’’ session for the public which would provide an opportunity for those taking part to gain a new appreciation of the trail, which she said is an underutilized resource. Mayoral candidates Kaileif Mitchell and Ed Engler took the walk, which got underway at 10 a.m.,. along with Ward 6 City Council candidates Tony Felch and Armand Bolduc. Joining them were three of Mitchell’s children, his parents Harry and Deb, Felch’s daughter Alexis, and WOW Trail President Alan Beetle.
Bolduc expressed concern about the amount of bittersweet, an invasive species, growing along the trail, saying that it will eventually overwhelm the trees it winds itself around. Beetle said that plans for the trail, which is envisioned as stretching for nine miles between Belmont and Meredith, has been underway for about 10 years. The first phase, from Veteran’s Square to Lakeport Square, was opened in May, 2010 at a cost of more than $820,000 and the second phase, from Veteran’s Square to the Belmont line project is expected to cost about $1 million. Although the WOW Trail committee has financed and managed the construction, as phases of the trail are completed they are accepted by the city as a municipal parkway. The city is also the leaseholder for the state rights of way necessary to run the trail close to railroad tracks. He said that the challenge of funding the project
has slowed the pace of construction. To fund design, engineering and construction of the first and second phases, the WOW Trail was awarded two federal grants totaling $738,000 as well as raised money through annual events like the WOW Ball and WOW Fest. Since the project began in 2004, the city has contributed a total of $150,000 in annual appropriations ranging between $20,000 and $7,500. This fiscal year the city has budgeted $17,500 for the project. The City Council is currently considering a proposal to borrow $1.55 million for a variety of downtown projects, $400,000 of which would be used to help complete the second phase of the WOW Trail and would use proceeds from the city’s Downtown Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District account to pay off the bond issue. Engler said that he is a huge supporter of that

project, noting that the WOW Trail is in essence a public park and that while there are issues with how it will be completed along an active railway, which he observed is not really all that busy, that it has tremendous potential to bring recreation oriented tourists to the area. Mitchell, who said the WOW Trail is part of his regular exercise regime, said that while he can see using TIFF money from the downtown and Lakeport districts for each of the WOW Trail segments, he is not ready to endorse the current proposal. ‘’I want to see what other needs we have and how can we make sure that what happens is equally shared,’’ said Mitchell. Beetle said that he was pleased to see the candidates are supportive of the WOW Trail efforts and see its value to the county.

Loss to Kennett darkens Laconia’s football playoff outlook BY TIM MARTIN
FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
CONWAY — The Sachems’ (3-5) playoff hopes are now a long shot after a 38-14 loss to Kennett (4-4) on Friday night. Laconia’s offense was smothered by the Eagles defense as Kennett linebackers caused three turnovers and did not give up a touchdown in the second half. “We were outmatched tonight,” said coach Craig Kozens. “They were the better team. We are not mathematically eliminated, but will need a lot of help if we want to reach the playoffs.” With the win over Laconia, Kennett is in the driver’s seat for the second playoff spot in the Division II North Conference. Kennett started the game with an onside kick that was recovered by Laconia at midfield. The Sachems needed to convert two fourth downs and a little help from a pass interference penalty to score the first six points of the game. Laconia’s touchdown came on a Kyle Chiasson sweep to the left side from 13 yards out. The drive totaled 51 yards on 15 plays, chewing up eight minutes of the first quarter. Kennett did not waste any time scoring in the Eagles’ first possession. Eagles running back Nate Emerson lined up in the slot on the opening play, took a hand-off while coming around for a reverse and sprinted untouched down the Eagles sideline for 65 yard touchdown. Laconia’s defense had trouble slowing Eagles quarterback Nick Graziano, who completed 12 passes for 229 yards and two TDs. The Sachems’ Matt Swormstedt completed seven passes for 84 yards and a TD of his own. The touchdown ended the first half on a see LACONIA next page

GILFORD from preceding page sively trying to get possession. Taking off down the field, Winnisquam attacked the ball first, directing it down toward Gilford’s goal. This fiery start by Winnisquam caught the attention of Gilford, and they worked efficiently to prevent any further advances and gained possession of the ball. With a window of opportunity approaching, Gilford drove the ball into Winnisquam’s zone, getting ready for the strike into the goal. Moving in closer to the goal, Winnisquam player came out at the Gilford girl in possession of the ball in a deliberate and physical matter. In response to this violation of conduct, a penalty LACONIA from preceding page 10 yard toss to Chiasson. The second half looked promising for Laconia when Emerson fumbled the snap on the opening drive and Laconia’s Jordan McCrea recovered the ball. Laconia ran three plays before Swormstedt tried to hit Chiasson up the middle, only to be picked off by Grant Meserve. Meserve had a fumble recover in addition to his interception, while racking up 92 yards rushing and a touchdown on offense.

shot was awarded to senior, Kelsey Buckley. As she approached the goal and got into position, the crowd watched anxiously as she made the drive. The successful drive shot past the goalie and into the goal, putting the first score on the board for Gilford. With a one point lead, the Winnisquam team attempted to even the score. Their attempts to put pressure on the Gilford were short lived however, as Gilford again claimed possession of the ball, hurtling it toward Winnisquam’s end. Closing in on the goal, Gilford accurately directed the ball toward an unprotected section of the net. The sound of the ball hitting the goal was answered with screams and cheers from the Gilford team as well as their fans. At the sound of the whistle to begin the second half Winnisquam was first to claim possession over the ball. The advance was thwarted by Gilford, who turned the ball around and sent it back toward Winnisquam’s zone. The ball moved back and forth between the two opposing teams, failing to make any complete advances into one zone or another. Eventually, Winnisquam gained a break away, and moved in on the Gilford team. With their 2 point lead threatened Gilford went on high alert and managed to halt the advance. Gilford counter-struck, darting down the field for a third goal. With pressure mounting with every tick of the clock, Winnisquam claimed possession of the ball and advanced toward Gilford’s goal. Although the advance seemed promising, the ball was intercepted by Gilford, hurtling the ball back toward Winnisquam’s zone. Fearing another goal, Winnisquam aggressively took possession and maneuvered the ball down the field. The Gilford squad came together as a fluid unit to gain possession of the ball once more, bringing it down toward the Winnisquam goal. Although the Gilford girls were putting pressure on the Winnisquam team, their final attempts to make the score 4-0 were unsuccessful. As the whistle sounded to end the game, the Gilford girls left the field exuberant in celebration of their advance to the semi-finals. In response to the win, senior Kayla Orton of Gilford said, “It’s such an unbelievable feeling winning today. We made it to the quarter finals last year but lost 3-2, so we were determined to come back this year and play our best so we could move on to the next round this time. It’s also really important that we did well today because there are nine seniors on the team this year, and we have all been playing these past four years, so a win was pretty important to us.” Beaming and congratulating the team, coach David Rogacki had a few words to share about the success of the team this year. “People can’t understand that good students can be good athletes, but they can. This team is made up of almost all honor students who are dedicated to both their team and their academics. These girls have been disrespected a lot this year by outside parties so they had a lot to prove entering this season. I am so proud of the game they played today and for the season we have had overall, they have definitely come from the bottom and risen to the top.” Gilford’s semi-final game will be held on Wednesday, October 30 at Exeter High School at 5 p.m. The Eagles will face the third-seeded Berlin team, which defeated Littleton by the score of 4-0.

U5 Chiefs end regular season with a 39-19 win For the last regular game of the season the Laconia Chiefs U5 team headed south to square off against the Goffstown Screaming Eagles. The young Chiefs came out in playoff mode, as a win would ensure them a home playoff game on Wednesday evening. After forcing their opponents to a 4 and out situation, tailback Jackson Reulke marched his team down the field and capped a 3 play drive with a 15 yard, right up the gut run. The extra point was stopped short, but just like that Laconia had a 6-0 lead. It didn’t take long for the Chiefs to get another shot at the endzone as OLB Nolen Perrino jumped on an Eagles fumble. Again it was Reulke exploding off tackle for an 88 yard jaunt and a 13-0 lead for his team. The defense continued to apply pressure, as tackles Jon Cote and Colin Sirles made some key tackles. When the Laconia offense got the ball back it was fullback Phil Nichols doing the honors from 20 yards out.

MetroCast Foundation Golf Tournament raises $23,000
BELMONT — The annual MetroCast Foundation Golf Tournament held at Lochmere Country Club on September 16 raised more than $23,000 in support of youth-serving organizations in the region. With a score of 57, John Daigneault, Jerry Driscoll, Ace Parmaley & Bob Schwartz took this year’s top prize. The annual event, now in its 15th year, began as an effort to honor the memory of Robbie Mills, a 14 yearold Laconia boy who was killed in 1997 for his trail bike by two older teens (Mills’ mother is a MetroCast employee).

This time Nichols tacked on the extra point and the momentum had shifted again, 27-13. He continued his stellar day as he added two more touchdown runs of 20 yds and 15 yds respectively. QB Logan Dee found wing Nolen Perrino on a point after attempt.
For the day, Reulke finished with an amazing 257 yards on just 15 carries and 5 touchdowns. Goffstown was able to tack on a late touchdown, as their big defensive tackle scooped up a Chiefs fumble and ran it back 85 yards for a score. But the Eagles’ day ended when linebacker Aaron Williams fell on an Eagle fumble as time ran out. The Chiefs are hoping to ride the wave of their 39-19 victory into the playoffs, where they will host the always dangerous Pelham Razorbacks.

Foley Oil planning to move office from Laconia to Belmont BY GAIL OBER

ground tanks removed and has put a fresh coat of paint on the building. He said he has been working with Laconia City Planner Shanna Saunders to see what options he has for the old gas station. Pierson’s addition in Belmont will also house a garage big enough for three oil tankers, as well as the office. All of Foley’s bulk oil storage is already housed at the Belmont site. The application obtained from the Belmont Planning Board indicates that all of the department heads have reviewed and signed-off on the planned proposal. The Highway Department superintendent noted that the culvert at the driveway entrance should be replaced and Pierson said yesterday it is part of the project. Pierson said he expects to begin construction on the new addition in the spring. He said his business goal was to bring everybody into the same place and that it will be more efficient for his delivery drivers to have their home base in the same location as the bulk storage and the office. As for the current office on South Main Street in Laconia, Pierson said the company will be staying there through out the winter. Built on the site of the former Charlie’s Diner, Pierson said the company purchased the property and built the office building in 2002. Pierson said plans for the existing office space are not finalized.
Robert J. Kozlow, D.D.S, PLLC
BELMONT — Foley Oil Company is planning to relocate the front office portion of its company to Old State Road in Belmont. Company President Jeff Pierson has submitted an application for a site plan approval to the Belmont Planning Board for a 60-foot by 36-foot addition to their existing garage. “This building will house all vehicles and office space for our company,” wrote Pierson in his Planning Board application. “The only additional use of the property will be that our administrative officer will be moved here, making it a primary workplace for four additional employees. He said there may be the occasional customer who will come to Old Stage Road to pay a bill. Last month, Foley Oil closed its longtime service station that is on the “V” corner of Route 106 and Garfield Street in Laconia. At the time, Pierson said he had thought of opening a small convenience store on the location, like the two others the company operates in Bristol and Enfield, but said the spot was just too small. He also said that the tanks would need to be upgraded in 2015 to meet new federal standards and the size and volume of the full-serve station couldn’t financially justify the additional investment. Since its closure, Pierson had had the under-

damage to the exterior of the house. Robinson said there was some minor charring. Robinson said he doesn’t know what started the blaze but noted that it has been unusually dry and windy. He said people should use extra caution until the area gets some rain or snow. Late afternoon yesterday Gilford firefighters put out a grass fire that burned between two homes on Salt Marsh Pond Road. A neighbor said one of the homeowners appeared to have put a bucket of ashes outside and the wind picked up the sparks and started some leaves on fire. He said the charred area was about the size of half of a football field. — Gail Ober

Ashland police think store bandits may be same 2 men who robbed Circle K in Gilford on Sat. night ASHLAND — Police are investigating the attempted robbery of the Circle K on West Street convenience store that occurred Sunday morning at 6 a.m. Lt. Don Marin said two people wearing masks went into the store but the lone clerk was in a back office. He said the two apparently got scared and ran off. Marin said he has been in contact with the Gilford Police because the description of the masks used in Ashland’s attempted robbery were similar to those used in the armed robbery at midnight Sunday of the Big Apple Convenience Store on Country Club Road. In the Gilford case, police said two masked people entered the store and pointed a handgun at the
clerk who gave them all of the money. The clerk called 9-1-1 immediately after the bandits left and was unharmed. Police in both communities said the clerks were working alone during the Gilford robbery and the Ashland attempted robbery. Marin said the video cameras showed the two who intended to rob the Circle K may have been driving a gray 2000 to 2005 Volkswagen Passat. Anyone with any information is asked to call the Ashland Police at 968-4000 or the Gilford Police at 527-4737. — Gail Ober

TEXAS from page 2 in their lawsuit that a provision requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital less than 30 miles away would have effectively shuttered about a third of the state’s 38 clinics that perform abortions. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, whose office argued the law protects women and the life of the fetus, immediately filed an appeal with the conservative 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. “I have no doubt that this case is going all the way to the United States Supreme Court,” Abbott said during stop in Brownsville, Texas, as part of his campaign to replace retiring Gov. Rick Perry. Although several conservative states in recent months have approved broad abortion limits, the Texas ones were particularly divisive because of the number of clinics affected and the distance some women would have to travel to get an abortion.
Federal judges in Wisconsin, Kansas, Mississippi and Alabama also have found problems with state laws prohibiting doctors from conducting abortions if they don’t have hospital admitting privileges. All the other appeals — including the one from Mississippi, which like Texas is within the 5th Circuit — deal only with whether to lift a temporary injunction preventing the restriction from taking effect. The Texas appeal could be the first that directly addresses the question of whether the provision violates the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion. The admitting privileges provision “does not bear a rational relationship to the legitimate right of the state in preserving and promoting fetal life or a woman’s health and, in any event, places a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion,” Yeakel wrote.

TRUCK from page one 4 p.m. on October 25 and said he just learned his son had taken his 2008 GMC pickup and had tired to sell it to a used car dealer on Seavey Road in Belmont. Hartford’s father (who is also named Anthony) said he didn’t have his permission to sell the truck and learned from one of his friends that young Hartford was heading to a used auto dealer in Laconia to “see if they’d give him more money.” Currier said he called the manager at the Laconia dealership and got of description of young Hartford. He also learned from the manager in Laconia that young Hartford was returning to Seavey Road in Belmont so Chief Joe Collins called the Belmont Police who also went to Seavey Road. When Belmont Police arrived they saw a 2008 GMC pickup parked in the back parking lot with the same plate number Hartford senior reported. Currier reported that when he arrived, young Hartford was removing the plates from the truck. Belmont Police also learned that
Currier had already arrested young Hartford because he had an outstanding warrant from the Tilton Police. At some point, Hartford’s father showed up at the Seavey Road dealer and he identified the GMC as his. He told all of the officers from both community’s that his son did not have his permission to drive or sell his GMC. Affidavits also said that when Anthony Sr. asked his son if he was trying to sell the truck, young Hartford admitted it. After speaking with the people who own the business on Seavey Road, police learned they gave young Hartford $4,000 saying he had the title to the truck and the name “Anthony Hartford” was on it. Belmont Police charged Hartford with receiving stolen property. As to the charges from Tilton, Detective Cpl. Matt Dawson said yesterday young Hartford had been implicated in the theft of 12 computers from Walmart. Dawson said young Hartford has a court date next month in the 6th Circuit Court, Laconia Division. — Gail Ober
BURTON from page one Council District 1.” The announcement immediately prompted a flurry of tributes from public officials from one end of the political spectrum to the other. “For me it is a very sad day,” said State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith), and it’s a sad day for all Ray’s constituents. No one does it it better than Ray Burton,” she continued. “If all our public servants followed the Ray’s model, we would all be a lot better off.” She said that the Grafton County Republican Committee created an extraordinary service award in Burton’s name and honored him as the first recipient. “But, with Ray it was never about Republicans and Democrats,” she remarked. “It was always about the people.” Peter Powell of Lancaster, longtime director and past president of the North Country Council, recalled that Burton, then a young man of 19 or 20 helping to elect his father, Wesley Powell. governor in 1958. “Ray grew in, with and for the North Country,” he remarked, “and became an icon for the place. You couldn’t look at him without thinking of the North County.” Noting that the authority of executive councilors appears limited, Powell said that Burton “turned his position into one of significant power, which he used to the advantage of the people he represented. He is on the minds and hearts of everyone up here,” he said. Governor Maggie Hassan, the last
of the 10 chief executives to serve with Burton, called his record of public service “unmatched” and said “I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside Councilor Burton.” John H. Sununu spoke of his “his dedication and deep commitment to his constituents,” noting that his “bipartisan leadership will be missed.” United States Senator Kelly Ayotte described Burton as “a passionate and tireless voice for the North Country for decades” while for United States Congresswoman Annie Kuster he was “a fixture of governance and service In New Hampshire since I was a young girl.” Following treatment for kidney cancer in February and March, Burton said in April that as tests showed no sign of the disease he intended to run in 2014 and 2016. However, his health faltered earlier this month when he was unable to attend the meeting of the Executive Council on October 16 and a week later, was not on hand to accept a lifetime achievement award from the North County Council at its annual meeting. First elected to the Executive Council in 1976, Burton lost his seat two years later, but regain it in 1980 and has held it ever since, almost always by a wide margin. He has also served on the Grafton County Commission for the past 22 years. But, he never forgot the lesson of his only loss. “I’m always running a two votes behind,” he said of every campaign, right up to election day.

QZAB from page one council again last night. Baer objected to the first reading of the resolution, claiming there has been no public hearing or discussion by the council and no final vote would be taken until after the November 5 election. She said that the loan requires a 10 percent local match and questioned how the School District intends to draw $180,000 from the capital campaign, which funded the expansion of the Huot Regional Technical Educaiton Center and building of Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. Baer warned that the $78,261 in annual payments over 23 years to repay the borrowing would drive the municipal debt service beyond the $3.2 million limit keep overall property tax burden within the city’s cap. The School District, countered Lipman, “is not asking for one nickel from us.” He reminded Baer that the School Board has undertaken to service the borrowing from its operating budget. Likewise, he stressed that funds will be spent addressing health and safety issues by installing a sprinkler system and air handlers as well as removing asbestos and radon gas. Baer said that school officials have known about the life-safety concerns for some time, but chose to reconstruct the playing fields. “They didn’t just pop up,” she snapped. Furthermore, she suggested that if the School District could service the debt from its operating budget, then its budget must be inflated. Lipman reminded Baer that the School District balanced its budget within the tax cap despite fore-
going $500,000 in state aid. He repeated that the funds will be applied to life-safety issues. “This is the best way to do it for the taxpayers,” he said. “You’re suggesting we wait till we have to do it — a fire. This is an orderly way to do it.” Mayor Mike Seymour, visibly troubled by Baer’s suggestions that QZAB may be matched or repaid at the city’s expense, asked Ed Emond, business administrator of the School District, to explain how the loan would be serviced. Recalling that the School District received a QZAB of $6.5 million to fund the expansion of the Huot Center, construction of science laboratories and reconfiguration of the playing fields, he said that the loan was matched by the capital campaign. That fundraising effort, he said, provides sufficient resources in cash and in kind to match the second QZAB. NOTE: What Captain Bill Clary told the City Council began as a search for a treadmill for the Police Department led to a wellness challenge and an award of $3,486.75 from the New Hampshire Interlocal Trust, which in partnership with Harvard Pilgrim Health Care provides health insurance to the police force. Meredith Roy, wellness coordinator for the trust, said that a six-month wellness challenge, with specific goals, was designed for the department. In presenting the check she described the officers performance as “outstanding.” Roy said 80-percent of the employees participated, more than twice the average for work-sites, and 77 percent completed the challenge.
PENN STATE from page 2 Anderson said his clients were focused on Penn State’s changes to prevent future abuse. “I have to applaud them, because they said ‘not until we’re satisfied that no one else will get hurt,’” Anderson said. “The settlement of their cases in no way heals, in no way lessens the wound that remains open and the scars that are deep.” Penn State has spent more than $50 million on other costs related to the Sandusky scandal, including lawyers’ fees, public relations expenses, and
adoption of new policies and procedures related to children and sexual abuse complaints. It said Monday that liability insurance is expected to cover the payments and legal defense, and expenses not covered should be paid from interest paid on loans by Penn State to its self-supporting units. Clifford Rieders, a Williamsport attorney who negotiated one of the settlements, said the average payout matched other cases involving child abuse in educational or religious settings. Rieders said the cases raised the specter of embarrassing revelations if they went to trial, and a university would have to consider the effect on the victims, its overall reputation, its ability to pay and its wider objectives. “There are many considerations whenever you resolve a high-profile case involving serious misconduct, and I’m sure all of those and more came into play here,” Rieders said. Sandusky, 69, has been pursuing appeals while he serves a 30- to 60-year sentence on 45 criminal counts. He was convicted of abusing 10 boys, some of them at Penn State facilities. Eight young men testified against him, describing a range of abuse they said went from grooming and manipulation to fondling, oral sex and anal rape when they were boys.
HACKING from page 2 The judge told about 80 prospective jurors that the case centered on allegations of criminal activity at the News of the World and its sister paper, The Sun. He warned them not to discuss the case or seek information about it so they could hear the arguments “free from any preconceptions.” A jury of 12 will be chosen and sworn in Tuesday. The prosecution will then begin its opening arguments, outlining in detail the allegations of wrongdoing against the former media high-flyers. The eight defendants — all but one former Murdoch employees — chatted in the glass-enclosed dock in a windowless courtroom dotted with more than a dozen bewigged lawyers. All the defendants deny the charges.

DON’T BE AFRAID OF YOUR DENTIST ! It is estimated that at least 85 million Americans avoid the dentist due to dental phobias. If you fall into this category, there is hope for you. There are strategies that can help you overcome your anxieties while you are at the dental office. Gentle relaxation techniques and soothing imagery are just two of them. For people who may need further soothing, certain prescribed medications taken before the appointment have a calming effect that makes the dental visit more comfortable. If you consider yourself afraid of the dentist, you need to make your feelings known to the dentist and the staff. You may have special concerns that they can accommodate. Most concerns can be accommodated with ease once they are understood. Perhaps you want to know what’s going on each step of the way or perhaps you don’t want to know what is going on at all! You may simply want someone who is very gentle, takes things slowly, and doesn’t push you into things you’re not ready for. The only thing that should scare you about dentistry is what happens when you avoid it. Happy Halloween!

Poet and critic Alicia Ostriker hosted by Eagle Pond Author’s Series at PSU PLYMOUTH, — The Eagle Pond Author’s Series at Plymouth State University will present a free reading by poet and critic Alicia Ostriker at 7 p.m. Thursday, October 31 in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts. Ostriker is a poet, critic and activist known for her intelligence and passionate appraisal of women’s place in literature, and for investigating themes of family, social justice, Jewish identity and personal growth. Ostriker told Contemporary Authors: “People who do not know my work ask me what I write about. I answer: love, sex, death, violence, family, politics, religion, friendship, painters and painting, the body in sickness and health, joy and pain. I try not to write the same poem over and over. I try to stretch my own envelope, to write what I am afraid to write.” Twice a National Book Award finalist, Ostriker has published 14 volumes of poetry including The Book of Life: Selected Jewish Poems 1979-2011,
No Heaven, The Volcano Sequence and The Imaginary Lover. Her critical work includes the now-classic Stealing the Language: the Emergence of Women’s Poetry in America, and The Mother/Child Papers, which was reprinted recently by the University of Pittsburgh Press. Now in its 16th year, the Eagle Pond Author’s Series is a tribute to Donald Hall, one of the nation’s most beloved poets and authors. Hall remains the heart and soul of this series and is instrumental in bringing nationally and internationally revered poets to the PSU campus. Hall will be on hand to introduce Ostriker, and both will stay after the reading for an author’s reception and book signing Free tickets for the Eagle Pond Author’s Series are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 5352787 or (800) 779-3869, and are highly recommended.

After school classes offered at the Arts Collaborative MEREDITH — After School Arts Classes are currently being conducted at the Arts Collaborative Teaching Studio on Wednesdays for 1st-4th grades and Thursdays for 5th–8th grades from 3:30-5 p.m. each afternoon. Recent education reforms that emphasize achievement in reading and math, severe budget cuts are making quality arts learning opportunities within public school systems increasingly limited. After school enrichment opportunities, like those offered at The Arts Collaborative help parents to supplement their children’s learning experience. Creative achievement reinforces positive self esteem, persis-
tence, responsibility, team work and confidence. “Doing something in his or her own way with encouragement and support is not often possible or practical within large classrooms or within hectic family schedules that need to accommodate necessary tasks and responsibilities. I like to provide that safe place for students to take risks, to get messy, and to experience the satisfaction and joy in making their own discoveries, “ said instructor Heidi Little. Pre-registration is required for all classes. For more information visit www.theartscollaborative. net or contact Heidi Little at heidilea@metrocast. net or 603-707-1860.

Harry E. Gove, Jr., 80
LACONIA – Harry E. Gove Jr., 80, of 23 Fair Street, died Friday, October 25, 2013 at Lakes Region General Hospital. Harry was born in Laconia, the son of Harry E. Sr. and Hazel (Brow) Gove. He was a lifelong resident of Laconia and graduated from Laconia High School. He served in the U.S. Air Force during the Korean Conflict. After the war, he attended Plymouth State College. Harry worked for several years as an Assistant Plant Manager for Carpenter & Paterson Inc. and was a foreman at Lemay’s Recon Center. He also worked as realtor/manager at Reed Elwell Realty and the Byse Agency in Laconia. Harry was very influential in Laconia politics throughout the mid 1960’s and 70’s holding positions of City Councilman of Ward 4 for five years, interim City Manager, Selectman and GOP Chairman in Ward 4 and a member of the Board of Assessors and City Zoning Boards. Harry was also an active member of the Laconia Lodge of Elks #876, American Legion Wilkins Smith Post No. 1 and VFW Post #1670 where he served as their accountant/bookkeeper. He served as a scout leader for the Laconia Boy Scouts Troop #143. Harry’s greatest passion was working with kids as manager of Laconia Babe Ruth baseball teams which he did successfully for 25 years. Past players will not only remember him for his outstanding and sometime animated coaching style on the diamond, but as a friend and mentor pushing them to be the best they could be both on and off the baseball field. Former managers, players and friends will always remember the “GUV” as one of the best. Harry was an avid golfer right up to his final days and never lost that “come out of your shoes” swing. He was a longtime member at Laconia Country Club and in his later years a regular at Pheasant Ridge Country Club. He is survived by his two sons; Richard Calvin of Windham and Kim Yoo Shin of Laconia, one sister, Virginia Greene of Helmet, CA. and the entire Calvin family of Laconia. He was predeceased by his parents. There will be no calling hours.

Gilford preschoolers collect gum & coffee to donate to deployed troops
The children attending Miss Joanna’s and Miss Katy’s Preschool in Gilford, are just finishing up a month long Community Service project during which they collected 178 packages of gum, and 252 Keurig cups ( items requested by the sailors ) to send to our troops aboard the USS George Washington. The packages should arrive just in time for Veterans Day. The USS George Washington is currently out on a 4 month deployment, and will return to its home port in Japan in late December. Aboard the ship is local resident AT-2 Christopher Veazey of Gilford. Pictured are Paul Ganchi, McKenna Howard, William Snarr, Memphis Disbien, Kaleigh Romano, Lily McDanniel-Drouin, Piper Jameson, ( bottom ) Sophia Downes, Beckett Chandonnait, Adysen LeMein, Kahlan Brooks, and Trace Taylor.

Visiting Nurses of Meredith & Center Harbor launch Annual Appeal MEREDITH — Charles “Chuck” Thorndike announced the launch of the official Annual Appeal campaign for 2014 to support the Visiting Nurses of Meredith & Center Harbor. As Chairman of the VNMCH, Thorndike noted that the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor is a nonprofit organization working to heal patients better and faster in their own homes, providing this service regardless of the patient’s ability to pay. He added, “Our mission is not about making a profit, but rather to promote healing and good health while minimizing pain and suffering. However, we must cover our costs and in today’s environment our costs are going up while Medicare and insurance reimbursements are going down. Our agency needs the community’s help to continue to provide these valuable services as we have done since 1923.” Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance provide about 80% of the VNMCH’s revenue. The balance of their
operating revenue comes from town grants and contributions from businesses and individuals. Donations will provide free flu vaccine, foot care and blood pressure clinics, walk-in aid at the Meredith office of VNMCH, as well as pre- and post- surgery in-home care. Last year the community responded very generously to the Annual Appeal; however, costs continue to rise while Medicare and Insurance reimbursement continue to decline. The goal for this year’s Appeal is to raise $40,000 in desperately needed operating funds. It is asked that anyone who can afford to contribute please consider making a donation to the Visiting Nurses of Meredith and Center Harbor of whatever amount their budget can afford, to make sure the VNMCH services are available to the entire community.

Important Things To Look For In A New Mayor
1. Knowledge Obviously we can’t expect a new mayor to enter office with the same depth of understanding possessed by our retiring mayor or incumbent members of City Council. It would certainly be advantageous, though, to have one who starts with a broad knowledge of public policy issues and a good, solid grasp of the workings of Laconia city government, as well as of New Hampshire state government.
As the long-time editor of The Laconia Daily Sun, Ed Engler has that knowledge. His learning curve will be a relatively short one and he can get right to work, helping to improve the general prosperity of our city.

mendous benefit to engaging in such dangerous honesty. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you’ll travel alone, you’ll bring three people to the day’s events: the you of your imaginings, the you other person see, and the you the way you are. Tonight, the three yous are so similar they could be triplets. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you’re going to defy the norm, do it big and don’t back down. It will only be worth it to go against the grain if you believe in your position enough to commit fully to the act without apology. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You may choose a purpose that takes you from point A to point B, but you also have the sense that there’s a larger purpose for you that you have not thought of because it can’t be conceived; it can only be discovered. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 29). Don’t worry about changing the world this year. When you give your love, the world can’t help but change. An issue you have with your father or an authority figure will be resolved for good in November. December features a lucrative run of business. January brings an image change thanks to a career move. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 12, 29, 42 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). One animal defense against danger is to take up more space by puffing up, standing tall and showing teeth. A person who reacts this way to you either respects you or fears you -- or maybe a little of both. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You won’t always feel like talking to people at the moment they feel like talking to you. You’ll have a conversation when you’re feeling relaxed and ready to have it. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some people are harder to talk to than others, but you have a way of drawing out even the most challenging of subjects with your easy charm and noninvasive methods. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be in a choosy mood, especially when it comes to your social life. Though you’re knowledgeable, you feel that you have a lot to learn about life, and you want to be around people who obviously have something to teach you. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Special relationships are built with rituals and stories that are specific to that bond. If some of the specialness seems to be waning from a relationship, take action to fortify it by creating standout experiences. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re free to speak and think the way you want to, though you may not feel inclined to stray far from the main consensus. There will be a reward, however, for pushing yourself to be a little more daring. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ve had periods of wandering and doubt, and then you’ve had times of crystal clarity when your purpose was obvious. You don’t have to decide your path today, but at least try to remember what it felt like to be sure. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Advanced thinkers take into consideration all that goes into the making of an end product. Immature thinkers see the end product and think “anyone could do that,” without considering the hundreds of steps involved. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You are not obligated to say what’s on your mind or confess your heart, though there may be a tre-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Oct. 29, the 302nd day of 2013. There are 63 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 29, 1929, Wall Street crashed on “Black Tuesday,” heralding the beginning of America’s Great Depression. On this date: In 1618, Sir Walter Raleigh, the English courtier, military adventurer and poet, was executed in London. In 1787, the opera “Don Giovanni” by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart had its world premiere in Prague. In 1901, President William McKinley’s assassin, Leon Czolgosz (CHAWL’-gahsh), was electrocuted. In 1923, the Republic of Turkey was proclaimed. In 1940, Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson drew the first number — 158 — in America’s first peacetime military draft. In 1956, during the Suez Canal crisis, Israel invaded Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. “The HuntleyBrinkley Report” premiered as NBC’s nightly television newscast. In 1960, a chartered plane carrying the California Polytechnic State University football team crashed on takeoff from Toledo, Ohio, killing 22 of the 48 people on board. In 1979, on the 50th anniversary of the great stock market crash, anti-nuclear protesters tried but failed to shut down the New York Stock Exchange. In 1987, following the confirmation defeat of Robert H. Bork to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, President Ronald Reagan announced his choice of Douglas H. Ginsburg, a nomination that fell apart over revelations of Ginsburg’s previous marijuana use. In 1994, gunman Francisco Martin Duran fired more than two dozen shots from a semiautomatic rifle at the White House. (Duran was later convicted of trying to assassinate President Bill Clinton and was sentenced to 40 years in prison.) In 1998, Sen. John Glenn, at age 77, roared back into space aboard the shuttle Discovery, retracing the trail he’d blazed for America’s astronauts 36 years earlier. In 2004, Osama bin Laden, in a videotaped statement, directly admitted for the first time that he’d ordered the Sept. 11 attacks and told America “the best way to avoid another Manhattan” was to stop threatening Muslims’ security. Ten years ago: International organizations continued their exodus from Iraq in the wake of car bombings in the capital and attacks against coalition troops. Five years ago: A 6.4-magnitude earthquake in southwestern Pakistan killed at least 215 people. One year ago: Superstorm Sandy came ashore in New Jersey and slowly marched inland. It swamped lower Manhattan with a 13-foot surge of seawater, devastated New Jersey coastal communities and left more than 8 million people without power. The storm and its aftermath would kill more than 100 people in the United States.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am a single 40-year-old man. The past 18 months have been rough for my family. My father passed away, and my mother moved to Florida. Then she had a mild stroke. I have always liked Florida, so I decided to move with Mom and help care for her. My two brothers still live in our old hometown with their families. Ever since our move here, my brothers have given me the cold shoulder. I heard through the grapevine that they believe I am controlling Mom’s money and taking advantage of her. That couldn’t be further from the truth. I have put my life on hold to make my mother’s life better. She forgets to take her medications and has lost interest in cooking. So I cook her meals, take her wherever she wants to go, make her doctors’ appointments and see that she takes the required meds. I have told my brothers the truth of the situation, and so has my mother, but nothing seems to change their minds. We have always been a close family, and I don’t want that to change. Is there something I can do to fix this? -- Confused in Florida Dear Confused: Your brothers may be suspicious, but it is also likely there is some guilt mixed in, causing them to resent you and your importance to Mom. The best way to handle this is to include them as much as possible. Ask their opinion on Mom’s medical treatments and any major decisions. Make all financial dealings completely transparent. Send them regular updates and copies of her checkbook balance, her investments, her cash outlay -- everything. Better yet, ask them to come to Florida to spend a week with Mom and see how she’s doing. Dear Annie: I have known my best friend for more than 20 years. For the past three, she has completely forgotten my birthday. She usually remembers belatedly and phones, mortified that she overlooked it. She then writes a card and gives a gift.
I don’t know what to say when the awkward phone call comes. My feelings are hurt that my birthday isn’t automatic for her because we’ve known each other for so long. I also know that she manages to remember the birthdays of other friends she hasn’t known as long and whose birthdays are around the same time as mine. What should I say when she tells me she “can’t believe” she has forgotten my birthday once again? -- Perplexed in Pennsylvania Dear Perplexed: It’s possible that your friend is so confident that your birthday is something she’ll remember that she doesn’t bother to write it down and consequently forgets until it’s too late. Or she might remember but not have a moment to call, and by the time things settle down, it’s slipped her mind. She may also be having memory issues that she is too embarrassed to mention. We don’t believe it is deliberate, because it requires much more effort to call, apologize and then send a card and a gift. The next time she does this, make a joke of it. Suggest she invest in some belated birthday cards for next year. Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Second Best in Michigan,” whose husband’s widowed mother controls everything, including picking her husband’s clothes and scheduling their holiday gatherings. My husband’s mother was widowed when we married 37 years ago. He was an only child. I can tell “Michigan” that she will always be second best. My husband and I went to counseling, but as you said, Annie, the key part is the willingness of the husband to change. In my marriage, change was never successful for any length of time. If “Michigan’s” husband doesn’t stand up to Mom now, he never will. She would be happier in the long run without him. -- Hate To See You Suffer, Too

Gallery Space hosting reception for print maker Carole Groenke this evening LACONIA — The Gallery Space located on Canal Street in Downtown Laconia is proud to host a Meet the Artist Reception for exhibiting print maker, Carole Groenke, on Tuesday October 29 from 4-6 p.m. Carole’s exhibition entitled Apple-A-Day-Art consists of twelve color as well as black and white prints created on a quality of life theme. Her work revolves around nature as an inspiration to making art part of your everyday life. As a member of the Women’s Caucus for Art-NH, juried member of the Squam Lakes Artisans, Artist Cooperative, and member artist of the Gallery Space, Carole is an energetic source of creative energy. “I’m always looking for people and places to inspire my imagination and my art,” said the artist. She added, “Finding creative sources like the Studio, the Frates Center, and Plymouth State University have helped me to realize that my resources are have been around me all the time.” As a world traveler, Carole, is planning her reception around her recent cycling trip through Tuscany.
Carole will have some Tuscan inspired refreshments at the reception for visitors to munch on as well as her colorfully inspiring prints for visitors to enjoy. A special part of the Reception will be a a one day opportunity for the public to make a difference by receiving one of two prints created in support of the Anderson Pharmacy Fund established in 2000 by Jerry & Lynn Anderson. During Lynn’s chemotherapy treatment these two pioneers established a fund to support oncology patients at LRGH who were struggling financially. Carole is also a concerned member of the Lakes Region who inspires others through her art and her concern for others in the community. She concluded that “I have found that working with other artists have grounded me with the techniques that I use in my artwork and exhibition opportunities such as this one help to keep me grounded to my work.” For more information about the Reception, the Anderson Fund, or the prints call 528-7651

MEREDITH — Are you a Friend of Fenwick? Find out by attending The Inter-Lakes High School Theater Company presentation of The Mouse That Roared. Performances are October 31 at 3:15 p.m., November 1 at 7 p.m. and November 2 at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. The tiny Duchy of Grand Fenwick is in trouble. Their one source of revenue, wine sales, has been disrupted by treacherous vintners in California. What to do? Why, declare war on the USA, of course. Duchess Gloriana (Hannah Simmons) knows that once Fenwick loses, the USA will help to rehabilitate her small kingdom. Her plot with Countess Mountjoy (Katherine Miller) and Minister Benter (Josh Brown) goes awry when National Forest Ranger, Tully Bascom (John Findlay) takes his promotion to Captain of the Guard very seriously and chaos ensues. Find out what happens by attending the The Inter-Lakes High School Theater Company presentation of The Mouse That Roared!
