Alton School Board’s ‘rejection’ of Common Core has no

Laconia consequence at this point; curriculum ‘will not be undone’ schools awarded $2.2M grant to target wide N.H. legal community honors the late Judge Perkins array of behavioral goals

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

ALTON — After a lengthy discussion at its August meeting, the Alton School Board voted three to two not to adopt the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Initiative, but it appears that the vote will have no immediate consequences.

School Superintendent William Lander

said this week that prior to his appointment, administrators and teachers invested significant time in realigning Alton’s curriculum in anticipation of the introduction of the CCSS. “We are teaching the curriculum we’ve adopted that was approved by the School Board,” he said, “and that will not be undone.”

The CCSS, sponsored by the United

States Department of Education and a consortium of states, have been adopted by 45 states, including by the New Hampshire State Board of Education in 2010.

LACONIA — The School District has been awarded a collaborative community federal grant that will bring about $2.2-million to the city schools to promote positive behavioral education over the next four years.

Superintendent Terri Forsten said Laconia teamed with Rochester and Concord to apply for the N.H. Safe Schools, Healthy Student State Program, N.H. Communities for Children grant and have been working on it for a number of months.

“This is going to make a difference,” she told the School Board at its regular meeting last night.

The purpose of the four-year grant in Laconia is to provide support for the district’s ongoing work in the areas of early childhood and court liaison programs as well as supporting student assistance programs, behavior see GRanT page 8

LACONIA — Family, friends and former colleagues, including all five members of the New Hampshire Supreme Court gathered at the Belknap County Superior Courthouse yesterday to honor the late Presiding Judge Harold W. Perkins, who was remembered as a down-to-earth man who saw the human being in every person he met.

Those who spoke, recounted more than just Perkin’s judicial acumen and his ability to mentor those who came with and behind him. All told comical “Harry” stories and recalled times they all shared drinks after work, listened to his fishing stories, and showed his love for New Hampshire.

N.H. Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Dalianis spoke first and pointed out yesterday’s “glorious” weather. She said it was the kind of “vibrant and perfect day” that Perkins loved so much.

“He lived for the day and he lived for the moment,” Dalianis said, saying Perkins was always one who New Hampshire Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nedeau unveils a photographic portrait of the late Judge Harold Perkins on Tuesday never squandered time in Belknap County Superior Court.

Large pack of NYC bikers drag man from SUV & beat him

NEW YORK (AP) — An unauthorized motorcycle rally featuring hundreds of bikers parading through the streets took a bloody turn when a large group of riders surrounded a man driving with his family, then chased his SUV for miles after he plowed through a blockade of bikes and beat him.

One biker suffered broken legs and apparent spine injuries when the SUV ran over him and may be paralyzed, police said. A second biker suffered a leg injury. The driver, who was traveling with his wife and toddler, needed stitches to his face at a hospital.

The frightening assault on the man began Sunday afternoon on Manhattan’s West Side Highway and was partially captured on a helmet-mounted video camera worn by one of the riders involved in the chase.

A portion of the video, posted on the Internet by an unidentified user, shows a large group of bikers swarming around the Range see BIKERS page 10

Blame game heats up as shutdown settles in WASHINGTON (AP) — First slowed, then stalled by political gridlock, the vast machinery of government clanged into partial shutdown mode on Tuesday and President Barack Obama warned the longer it goes “the more families will be hurt.”

Republicans said it was his fault, not theirs, and embarked on a strategy — opposed by Democrats — of voting on bills to reopen individual agencies or programs.

Ominously, there were suggestions from leaders in both parties that the shutdown, heading for its second day, could last for

weeks and grow to encompass a possible default by the Treasury if Congress fails to raise the nation’s debt ceiling. The two issues are “now all together,” said Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill. Speaking at the White House, the president accused Republicans of causing the first partial closure in 17 years as part of a non-stop “ideological crusade” to wipe out his signature health care law.

House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, gave as good as he got. “The president isn’t telling the whole story,’ he said in

an opinion article posted on the USA Today website. “The fact is that Washington Democrats have slammed the door on reopening the government by refusing to engage in bipartisan talks.”

Both houses of Congress met in a Capitol closed to regular public tours, part of the impact of a partial shutdown that sent ripples of disruption outward — from museums and memorials in Washington to Yellowstone and other national parks and to tax auditors and federal offices serving see SHUTDOWN page 6

CONCORD (AP) — A total of 332 members of New Hampshire’s National Guard have been furloughed as a result of the government shutdown.

Lt. Col. Greg Heilshorn (HILE’-shorn) SAID 204 Army Guard members and 128 troops from the Air Guard were told to go

home until Congress can agree on a spending bill. There are about 2,800 troops in total.

For many of the furloughed members, it’s their second forced time-off this year: They had to take six unpaid days over the summer as a result of the mandatory across-the-board spending cuts.

Heilshorn says members are frustrated.

Members have resources such as the Chaplain’s Emergency Relief Fund if the shutdown drags on, Heilshorn said. That was started during the first Gulf War. Heilshorn says the stress level will increase as the shutdown continues.

Administration officials said they were pleased with the strong consumer interest. At least 2.8 million people had visited the healthcare.gov website as of Tuesday afternoon, said Medicare administrator

Marilyn Tavenner, whose office is overseeing the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. The website had seven times the number of simultaneous users ever recorded on the medicare.gov site.

Venezuela leader rejects BP executive defends Gulf spill response tactics cordial relations with U.S. CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Nicolas Maduro said Tuesday that Venezuela will not have cordial relations with the United States as long as U.S. diplomats continue what he alleges are attempts to destabilize his country.

He said “new points of contact” can be established, but only if Washington ends such activity.

Maduro’s tough talk came a day after he announced the expulsion of the top U.S. diplomat in Venezuela, Charge d’Affaires Kelly Keiderling, and two other embassy officials, alleging they conspired with “the extreme right” to sabotage the economy and power grid.

The United States again on Tuesday rejected the allegations that it is trying to destabilize this South American nation.

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Venezuela’s government declared Keiderling, the embassy’s political officer and the consular officer personas non grata, and gave them 48 hours to leave Venezuela.

Psaki said the allegations were related to the U.S. Embassy workers’ travel to Bolivar state, which is home to troubled state-owned foundries and Venezuela’s main hydroelectric plant.

“They were there conducting normal diplomatic engagement, as we’ve said in the past and should come as no surprise,” Psaki said.

In a news conference in Caracas, Keiderling said she and the other diplomats would leave Venezuela on Wednesday before the 48-hour deadline expired.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A BP executive who led the company’s efforts to halt its massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico testified Tuesday that his decisions were guided by the principle that they shouldn’t do anything that could make the crisis even worse.

James Dupree, BP’s first witness for the second phase of a trial over the deadly disaster, said his teams worked simultaneously on several strategies for killing the well that blew out in April 2010.

Dupree said the company decided in mid-May that it wasn’t ready to employ the capping strategy.

He also said he was concerned that it could jeopardize other efforts to seal the well.

“We were very intent not to make the situation worse,” said Dupree, who was promoted to BP’s regional president for the Gulf of Mexico after the spill was stopped.

Dupree is scheduled to resume his testimony Wednesday.

BP’s trial adversaries have argued that the company could have stopped the spill much earlier than July 15 if it had used the capping strategy.

Earlier Tuesday, an employee of the company that owned the doomed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig testified that he was surprised when BP scrapped the capping strategy his team had devised and never heard an explanation for the decision.

“We were so close. We had come a long way,” said Robert Turlak, Transocean’s manager of subsea engineering and well control systems.

During the first few weeks after the spill, engineers focused on two methods for stopping the flow of oil: Capping the well was one option. The other, called “top kill,” involved pumping drilling mud and other material into

the Deepwater Horizon rig’s blowout preventer.

BP ultimately used a capping stack to stop the spill July 15 after several other methods failed.

Turlak’s team was working on a strategy that was called “BOP-on-BOP” because it lowered a second blowout preventer on top of the rig’s failed one. He called it the “obvious solution” and said it was ready for installation in early June.

But BP concluded it wasn’t a viable option because it could have made the situation worse and hampered other strategies if it failed. BP said the capping stack that later sealed the well was specifically designed to land on the well system above the blowout preventer.

BP employed the “top kill” method in May 2010, but it didn’t stop the flow of oil. The company says its adversaries have ignored evidence that the “BOP-on-BOP” option wasn’t approved or ready for safe installation before “top kill.”

The trial’s second phase opened Monday with claims that BP ignored decades of warnings about the risks of a deep-water blowout and withheld crucial information about the size of the spill. Plaintiffs’ lawyers claim BP knew the “top kill” strategy was doomed based on higher flow rate estimates that the company didn’t share with federal officials at the time.

U.S. District Judge Carl Barbier, who is presiding over the trial without a jury, also heard videotaped testimony Tuesday by a manager employed by cement contractor Halliburton. Richard Vargo, who assisted on the top kill attempts, said he didn’t learn until later that BP didn’t believe the procedure would work given the high flow rates.

Pat Buchanan

Obamacare’s bodyguard of lies & liars “In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies,” said Winston Churchill.

What is the truth behind the Beltway lies about these crazy Republicans crashing our government?

Twice in the last week House Republicans have voted unanimously to fund the U.S. government.

If national polls are to be believed, those House Republicans are doing exactly what America wants. A majority of Americans oppose a government shutdown. And a majority oppose Obamacare.

Who, then, is preventing the government from being funded?

Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

Neither will accept any continuing resolution that does not contain Obamacare. Both will shut down this city rather than accept any such CR. It is Harry and Barry who are saying: If we don’t get full funding of Obamacare now, we shutdown Washington until the House delivers.

The battle, then, is over this question: Will the next great liberal entitlement program, Obamacare, with its manifest failings and flaws, be imposed upon the nation — against its will? The House says no. The Beltway says yes.

Few disagree that, in any national plebiscite, Obamacare would be buried in a landslide. Few disagree that if Obamacare were put to a vote of the Congress today, it would fail in both houses. Why, then, is it radical for the House to use its power of the purse to defund a program America does not want?

Why is it statesmanship for Obama to say he will shut down the entire government if any resolution to keep it running contains even the slightest tweak to his cherished program?

What these questions suggest is that this is at root a political and ideological war, and the Beltway has assembled its usual bodyguard of lies and liars to conceal that truth. Consider this keening from the Washington Post yesterday about the terrible consequences of a government shutdown: “[W]e would hope that Mr. Boehner would have compassion for thousands of moderately paid breadwinners who would find themselves in very difficult circumstances. We would hope he would be troubled by how a shutdown would disrupt research at the National Institute of Health and safety inspections at the Food and Drug Administration.”

About this lugubrious passage, several questions: Since Reid and Obama have both said they will block any CR that does not contain Obamacare in its pristine form, why are they not charged with some responsibility for a shutdown?

Answer: The Post is not interested in conveying the truth about this conflict, because in this battle it is

as much a political ally of Obama as Debbie Wasserman Schultz. But it is a more effective ally, since some still presume it is being truthful and objective.

Assume that today John Boehner came out and said at a press conference: “I have taken note of the Post’s concerns about an interruption of service at NIH and the FDA. I share those concerns. Therefore, at my direction, the House will vote this afternoon to fully fund both agencies.” Anyone think the Washington Post would celebrate Boehner’s compassion and statesmanship the next morning?

Of course not. All this weeping and gnashing of teeth about the terrible consequences of a government shutdown is designed to whip up political animosity, direct it at House Republicans, and break John Boehner. Failing that, it is to foist upon the House Republicans full responsibility for a shutdown that the House has voted twice to avoid.

What this battle confirms is that, on major national issues that pit social and populist conservatives against Big Government liberals, the Beltway press corps invariably acts like a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic National Committee.

More problematic, there is a slice of the Beltway right — the contributions bundlers and kennel-fed conservatives, the summer soldiers and sunshine patriots, the George McClellans — that prefers prancing, parading and posturing to the actual fighting.

With them the excuses are always the same. We can’t win. We have been beaten on this terrain before.

The press will kill us. The White House has a microphone we can’t match. We will only hurt ourselves in the polls and throw away our great opportunity in the coming election. Besides, our corporate contributors don’t want this fight.

Some “conservatives” even cynically suggest that the GOP let Obamacare take effect, as it will prove such a disaster there will be a backlash against it in 2014 — and from that we can benefit.

With Reid’s refusal to accept the House CR with the one-year suspension of Obamacare, a shutdown became certain.

Every Republican should be out front, on TV, radio and in print this week with a simple message: “We have twice voted to fund every agency and program of the U.S. government (save Obamacare) in a single CR. We will proceed now to pass CRs for each department and agency of the U.S. government, separately and individually. And if Harry Reid’s Senate refuses to pass a single one of those CRs, who then is shutting down NIH and the FDA?”

LETTERS I know they were mostly Republicans; don’t ask me how I know To The Daily Sun, I remember an energy conference at Plymouth State back in the 80s.

The keynote speaker was to be a wellknown Canadian author but died a week before the conference date. In his place, the chairman of HydroQuebec consented to come down to fill his slot. It was a big occasion. WMUR was present with its cameras and it aired that same evening. It was a time when many were extolling the “virtues” of hydro power. They couldn’t say enough about Hydro-Quebec, which was touted as the “Arabs of electrical power”. A company that could transfer DC power from Quebec to California with only a 4 percent loss. No one questioned their world dominance in the field of hydro power.

New Hampshire Governor Sununu, an MIT graduate with a nuclear background, was promoting Seabrook while Governor Snelling of Vermont was forging relations with Rene Levesque, the premier of Quebec. People complained at the time that Hydro-Quebec flooded an area the size of Great Britain thereby displacing the native cultures — but it was all so far away. When the energy needs of two and a half million people conflicted with a few thousand natives it was apparent to everyone who would win — much the same with our “iron horse” as it rambled west to make America a two ocean country Perhaps if the towers passed within eyesight of my property I would be a bit more “intense” in my opposition as well.

The meeting in Silver Hall on September 24 was attended by some 400 participants, outnumbering the backers of Northern Pass by ten to one. It appears that Northern Pass has brought the Democrats and Republicans together

against a “common enemy” — Hydro Quebec. Could we be witnessing another Clamshell Alliance here? The power lines, if they are to be built, should be buried just like Martha Richards and one or two others buried the DOE with their gutsy rhetoric. Deservedly they received the most applause.

Their conviction and sincerity shown through like a beacon light piercing a moonless night.

Finally, let me tell you what’s really bothering me. Back to the meeting on September 24th. From the very beginning I felt an uneasiness about my surroundings. Yes, there was a mix of Democrats and Republicans there but mostly Republicans as far as I could tell — and you don’t want to ask me how I know! The fact that I was sitting right behind two Republican representatives begged the question: “what the hell am I doing here?” As an independent with propensity towards the Democrats, I think it’s downright un-American that any issue can bring these two groups together.

We would all like alternative energy but solar power on a large scale is probably not going to happen in N.H. Wind power is also not a favorite among many and we can forget about the latest oxymoron that has entered our lexicon —”clean coal”.

So those that wear orange with the inscription: “not now, not ever” need to be careful that they don’t conscientiously become the proverbial painted sepulchers — white and shiny on the outside, inside full of dead-men’s bones.

To end on a lighter note, in the dubious event that the worse case scenario plays out against the opponents of NP, there is always a silver lining — no “view tax” — “not now, not ever”!

George Maloof Plymouth

Gun control? What about truth in sentencing & permissive judges?

To The Daily Sun, The letter telling of the tragic and senseless shooting in Baton Rogue, Louisiana — “My daughter was senselessly murdered; let’s prevent another” — omits relevant facts. The shooter had recently been in jail. Released early, he committed this despicable act. Like many criminals, he had a well-established rap sheet. He, for example, stole a rifle from his grandmother, who has

was in violating Louisiana law when he was found with a loaded handgun at LSU. The judge dismissed the charge, however, and asked the man to do “three random acts of kindness”.

Bonnie Hunt’s heartfelt letter, which supported gun control efforts, could have more plausibly supported truth in sentencing and condemned permissive judges.

LETTERS Obamacare isn’t working as advertised & we don’t want it To The Daily Sun, This is in response to Jon Hoyt’s letter in the August 27th Sun: I have to agree with one statement you made in your letter, Jon, “... if (Obamacare) works as advertised then we, the American people, will win big time.” The problem is it isn’t working as advertised. It isn’t even coming close. When a program like a takeover of one-sixth of the American economy, which is what Obamacare is, requires 10 years of tax revenues to fund six years of operations, then it’s a loser right out of the starting gate. When a program that adds yet another layer of government bureaucracy on to an already bloated system, all it does is add cost, decreases efficiency, creates delay, and in the end, results in an artificial shortage of the very thing it was supposed to provide.

The disincentives built into Obamacare are staggering, both for businesses and individuals. The heavy costs to be shouldered by small businesses and the younger generations in order to fund Obamacare have been driving many to forgo participation. Businesses are being forced to dump employees onto the exchanges because they cannot possibly afford to pay the premiums required by Obamacare. Other businesses are not expanding because they don’t want to go over the 49 employee limit that triggers their requirement to provide health insurance. Others are turning full-time jobs into part-time jobs in

order to stay under that limit. Individuals who were promised that they could keep their doctors and their health plans are finding out they can’t. The young are unwilling to pony up the exorbitant amounts of cash in order to pay for the health benefits of older Americans, and frankly I don’t blame them. The unintended consequences of Obamacare are far reaching and will actually end up hurting everyone, including the people it was supposed to help.

When Max Baucus, one of the authors of the misnamed Affordable Care Act, calls Obamacare a “train wreck”, it should give you and others pause to consider that maybe it isn’t such a great idea after all and that it should be scrapped. It won’t be delivering on the promises made by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid no matter how much anyone hopes and prays that it will. When a large majority of the American people don’t want and don’t like Obamacare (and they never have liked it), how can anyone possibly justify forcing it upon the American public?

To paraphrase a statement made about the Canadian health care system: “85 percent of the Canadian people like it. The other 15 percent are sick.” Soon enough we’ll be saying something similar about ObamaCare, though I expect the numbers will be different, with the former lower and the latter higher.

After fire, LRGHealthcare must replace ability to do 1 million pounds of wash a year

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — With the loss of its laundry facilities in the fire that destroyed the commercial building at 161 Court Street 10 days ago, LRGHealthcare has begun looking for a new space where it can wash its dirty linen.

Sandy Marshall, director of public relations for the hospital company, said yesterday that the laundry operates two shifts seven days a week, processing approximately a million pounds of wash a year. The laundry serves all the corporation’s facilities, including the two hospitals — Lakes Region General Hospital and Franklin Regional Hospital — Laconia Clinic, Hillside Medical Center, InterLakes Medical Center and physician practices.

The laundry operated in 6,616-square-feet at the Fair Street end of the building. Although much of the equipment was damaged or destroyed by smoke and water, the

laundry was the only one of the seven businesses in the building spared from the flames. Marshall said that three of the four dryers were ruined, the folding machine was damaged and all the laundry carts were lost, but the washing machines escaped intact. “Of course, everything must be cleaned,” she said. Trucks garaged in the building were also spared severe damage and firefighters salvaged much of the finished laundry that was packaged for return to the facilities.

Marshall said that the hospitals have linen supplies for two or three days on hand. After the fire LRGHeathcare contracted with Kleen Linen of Lebanon to do their wash and kept the laundry employees on the payroll by reassigning them to other duties.

Marshall said that the search for new space to house the laundry has just begun. Since the bulk of the laundry is generated by facilities in and around Laconia, she expected the facility would be located in or near the city.

see SHUTDOWN page 2 Americans coast to coast.

Officials said roughly 800,000 federal employees would be affected by the shutdown after a half-day on the job Tuesday to fill out time cards, put new messages on their voice mail and similar chores.

Among those workers were some at the National Institute of Health’s famed hospital of last resort, where officials said no new patients would be admitted for the duration of the shutdown. Dr. Francis Collins, agency director, estimated that each week the shutdown lasts will force the facility to turn away about 200 patients, 30 of them children, who want to enroll in studies of experimental treatments.

Patients already at the hospital are permitted to stay.

Late Tuesday, House Republicans sought swift passage of legislation aimed at reopening small slices of the federal establishment. The bills covered the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Park Service and a portion of the Washington, D.C., government funded with local tax revenue.

Democrats generally opposed all three, saying Republicans shouldn’t be permitted to choose which agencies remain open and which stay shut. As a result, all fell well short of the twothirds majority needed for passage.

The White House also issued veto threats against the bills, drawing a jab from Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner. Obama “can’t continue to complain about the impact of the government shutdown on veterans, visitors at National Parks, and D.C. while vetoing bills to help them,” he said.

Several House Democrats used the occasion to seek a vote on a standalone spending bill, a measure that Rep. Elizabeth Esty of Connecticut said would “end the tea party shutdown.” The requests were ruled out of order.

Republican aides said all three bills that were sidetracked could be brought up again on Wednesday under rules requiring a mere majority to pass.

They said the House might also vote on a measure to reopen the hospital

at the NIH, after several Democrats cited the impact on patients.

Ironically, a major expansion of the health care law — the very event Republicans had hoped to prevent — was unaffected as consumers flocked for the first time Tuesday to websites to shop for coverage sold by private companies.

The talk of joining the current fight — the Republicans are trying to sidetrack the health care law by holding up funding for the fiscal year that began at midnight Monday — to a dispute involving the national debt limit suggested the shutdown could go on for some time.

The administration says the ceiling must be raised by mid-month, and Republicans have long vowed to seek cuts in spending at the same time, a condition Obama has rejected.

In Washington, some Republicans conceded privately they might bear the brunt of any public anger over the shutdown — and seemed resigned to an eventual surrender in their latest bruising struggle with Obama.

Democrats have “all the leverage and we’ve got none,” said Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia.

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said sardonically his party was following a “Ted Cruz-lemmings strategy” — a reference to the senator who is a prime proponent of action against the health care overhaul — and Rep. Scott Rigell of Virginia said it was time to pass legislation reopening the government without any health care impediments. “The shutdown is hurting my district — including the military and the hard-working men and women who have been furloughed due to the defense sequester,” he said.

But that was far from the majority view among House Republicans, where tea party-aligned lawmakers prevailed more than a week ago on a reluctant leadership to link federal funding legislation to “Obamacare.”

In fact, some conservatives fretted the GOP had already given in too much.

24 condo units overlooking Scenic Drive approved by planning board

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Planning Board last night approved the plan of Southworth Development, LLC, the managing developer of Meredith Bay at The Weirs, to add a mid-rise building with 24 condominium units to its growing inventory along either side of Scenic Road.

North Lodges at Meredith Bay is planned on a 6.7-acre lot at the foot of Brickyard Mountain, across Scenic Road, just north of the Town Homes at Meredith Bay, which line the shoreline northward from Look Off Rock. The four-story building will house units of one-bedroom units of 1,400-square-feet and two-bedroom units of 1,900-square-feet, both with dens. There will be six units on each floor served by elevators from the underground parking garage that open directly into the individual units.

Chris Duprey, project executive for Southworth Development, said that 5.4 acres of the steeply sloped site will be left undisturbed as the building will be constructed on a shelf overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee. The building will resemble the Town Homes, 19 two-bedroom townhouses on three levels divided among five buildings along the shoreline, accented with timbered trusses, stone work , clapboards and shingles.

Duprey told the board that two issues arose in the planning process.

Although obliged to install sidewalks on Scenic Road, he said that a deep drainage swale along the front of the property renders a sidewalk impractical. Instead, he proposed extending the sidewalk built on the east (lake) side of Scenic Road to serve the Town Homes northward to the entrance to to North Lodges where a crossfrom preceding page a full defunding of the health care law as the price for essential federal funding. Gone, too, are the demands for a one-year delay in the law, a permanent repeal of a medical device tax and a provision making it harder for women to obtain contraceptive coverage.

In place of those items, Republicans now seek a one-year-delay in the requirement for individuals to purchase insurance, and they want a separate provision that would dramatically raise the cost of health care for the president, vice president, members of Congress and thousands of aides.

Boehner has declined to say whether he would permit a vote on a stand-alone spending bill to reopen the government, stripped of health care provisions, though Democrats and Obama continued to call on him to do so. “He’s afraid it will pass,” said Durbin.

Sen. Cruz, R-Texas, the most prominent advocate of the “Defund Obamacare” movement, said the Senate should follow the House’s lead and quickly reopen programs for veterans and the parks. Asked why it was appropriate to do so without demanding changes in the health care law, he offered no answer.

“None of us want to be in a shutdown. And we’re here to say to the

walk would be installed. The existing sidewalk would also be extended southward to the entrance to Akwa Marina. Alternatively he suggested setting aside funds, based on the estimated cost of a linear foot of five-footwide sidewalk, for the construction of sidewalks to the city’s design. The Planning Board agreed to both alternatives pending further design work by the Department of Public Works.

Duprey also requested that the board waive development impact fees in return for a contribution toward increasing the capacity and efficiency of the sewer pump station on Scenic Road to accommodate the additional development. In addition to the Town Homes and North Lodges, Southworth Development has received approval to construct three mid-rise buildings, each with 24 condominium units on four stories on the west side of Scenic Road just south of the North Lodges.

The cost of upgrading the pump station is estimated at $230,000. Southworth Development agreed to pay half the cost up to $115,000 and in return impact fees of $41,000 will be waived.

Southworth Development expects to break ground for the North Lodges in six weeks.

Duprey explained that with the construction of the North Lodges, Southworth Development will diversify its inventory to include single-family homes and house lots at Meredith Bay, townhouses on three levels at the Town Homes and condominiums on one level at the North Lodges. He said with the completion of the three remaining mid-rise buildings, which have not been scheduled for construction, development the firm’s shorefront properties would be virtually complete, leaving space only for a few single-family homes or duplexes.

Senate Democrats, ‘Come and talk to us,’” said House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., as GOP lawmakers called for negotiations with the Senate on a compromise.

It was an offer that Senate Democrats chose to refuse, saying there was nothing to negotiate until Republicans agreed to reopen the federal establishment.

“The government is closed because of the irrationality of what’s going on on the other side of the Capitol,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.

In addition to “closed” signs and barricades springing up at the Lincoln Memorial and other tourist attractions, NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency were virtually shuttered, and Obama said veterans centers would be shut down.

Government workers classified as essential, such as air traffic controllers, Border Patrol agents and most food inspectors, remained on the job.

So, too, members of the military, whose pay was exempted from the shutdown in separate legislation Obama signed late Monday. Employees whose work is financed through fees, including those who issue passports and visas, also continued to work.

Army, Navy & Air Force football games could be casualty of government shutdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Army, Navy and Air Force might be forced to skip their football games next weekend because of the partial government shutdown.

The Defense Department temporarily suspended sports competition at the service academies Tuesday as a result of the budget impasse in Congress.

A Pentagon spokesman, Army Col. Steve Warren, said the decision was being reviewed by lawyers considering a series of legal questions, including whether money that comes from sources other than Congress could be used to pay for sports during the government shutdown.

Meantime, the suspension put a pair of college football games in jeopardy: Army at Boston College, COMMON CORE from page one thinking are designed to ensure that high school graduates are prepared to enroll in college or enter the workforce.

Beginning in the spring of 2015, the state will replace the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP), the test administered to elementary and secondary school students since 2005, with Smarter Balanced, an assessment developed by a consortium of states that is aligned with CCSS. When the School Board discussed the CCSS in August, State Rep. Jane Cormier (R-Alton) urged the board to reject it, claiming that because the federal government set the standards, which in turn would shape the curriculum, the program would erode local control of the schools. Likewise,

and Air Force at Navy.

During a six-day government shutdown in November 1995, Army, Navy and Air Force played football games — all at home.

The U.S. Naval Academy said in a statement that a decision will be made by noon Thursday about whether the Midshipmen will play the Air Force.

Navy’s football team did practice Tuesday.

Air Force associate athletic director Troy Garnhart said travel for his sports teams was being halted — including for Saturday’s football game at Annapolis, Md. A scheduled news conference with Air Force football coach Troy Calhoun and players was canceled Tuesday “due to the government shutdown,” according to a statement.

The football rivalry between Navy and Air Force dates to 1960, and they have played each other every year since 1972. Saturday’s game, which is sold out, is part of the series that determines the Commander-In-Chief’s Trophy, awarded annually to the service academy with the best record in games involving Army, Navy and Air Force.

The NBA’s San Antonio Spurs are holding their training camp at the Air Force Academy but the club was not affected by the shutdown, practicing Tuesday as planned.

As for Army against Boston College, B.C. athletic director Brad Bates said: “We have been in close communication with Army athletics officials regardsee next page

Doris Hohensee of Families in Education, a group founded in 2010 to advocate for greater parental control of education, told the board that the CCSS was developed and adopted without the participation of parents or approval of the Legislature. Local and parental control would be lost, she warned, if the CCSS were adopted.

When the issue reached the board again last month, the majority — Terri Noyes, Krista Argiropolis and Carlos Martinez — expressed concern about the intrusion of the federal government and the threat to local control while Sandy Wyatt, who chairs the board, and Steve Miller favored a program they believed would raise standards.

Heather Gage, director of instruction at the New Hampshire Department of Education, said yester-

day that local school boards are not required to adopt the CCSS and there are no financial consequences of refusing to do so. However, school districts are required by state and federal law to administer the assessment prescribed by the state or seek waivers from the state and federal governments to administer a different test.

Gage explained that although federal funding is not contingent on a particular assessment, any alternative must be consistent with the assessment administered by the state. If it is not, she said that federal funding to support the education of lowincome students, distributed under Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Act, would be at risk.

In withholding its endorsement of the CCSS, the Alton School Board has yet to raise the prospect of refusing to administer the Smarter Balanced assessment in 2015.

GRANT from page one models, and a health and wellness academy, said Forsten.

Laconia’s primary agency support came from Genesis Behavioral Health — the regional mental health agency — and Forsten said she worked closely with Lisa Morris who is the executive director of the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, which partners with others to provide expertise, information, and tools to protect people’s health.

Forsten said the district identified six goals for the four-year grant, including creating and sustaining a state-level collaborative cross-agency structure for sharing data and evidenced-based results and improving the social and emotional skills and preparedness for the educational success of children from birth to age 5.

She also said the grant will be used for improving the mental and behavioral health of children to reduce school violence, bullying, substance abuse, and other disciplinary problem by targeting the children with the highest needs.

Engaging families is key to the success of the program said Forsten and the program will also work to reduce risk factors such as alcoholism and drug use within families of school-aged children.

Board member Scott Vachon said he wanted to make sure the coordinator’s position that will be created with grant funds will be one that doesn’t supplant any existing programs or personnel within the district.

“I hope it comes with that stipulation,” he said, making of point of saying that the $550,000 annually is not to be considered as part of the annual school budget.

Forsten assured the board that the grant would also be used to only develop and implement the program to continue beyond the four-year term of the grant.

“We have a great window of four years and we’ll use the money to look at resources to continue,” Forsten said.

Board member Mike Persson said he already sees a great deal of “cross-agency” work in the city and he is excited that the grant will bring more opportunities for that type of coordination.

“I hope you bring all the agencies in, like the United Way, to use and develop the program over the four years,” he said.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 2, 2013— Page 9

JUDGE from page one said he remained active as a mediator and mentor.

Dalianis also remembered the comical side of Perkins.

He loved fly-fishing she said, quipping that from 1999 to 2006 he tied $10,000 worth of fishing flies for some “extra-judicial” income.

“Since he was forced out, it’s good he had those things to fall back on,” Dalianis said, gently calling to the fore one of Perkins’ pet peeves — the mandatory judicial retirement age of 70.

Dalianis also remembered him as an “integral part of our bricks and mortar system.”

“He loved the law, he knew its grandeur, and he knew what it could do for people,” she said, adding he especially loved and appreciated the jurors who he always addressed personally rather than in formulaic jury instructions.

Yesterday, his veiled portrait was carried into the courtroom and placed on an easel near the judge’s bench by a Sheriff’s Department, Court Security honor guard and before it was unveiled, senior Court Security Officer Ray Wakeman rang the buzzer in the judge’s chambers and declared, “All rise.”

The judge’s bench sat empty through Dalanis’s remarks. After her, Superior Court Chief Justice Tina Nedeau unveiled Perkin’s framed photographic portrait — captured by former Citizen reporter Gordon King — before she briefly addressed the people who came to honor him.

Senior Asst. Attorney General Lauren Noether, who cut her teeth as the Belknap County Attorney during Perkins time on the bench in Laconia, read a letter that she wrote posthumously to Perkins thanking him for all of the legal and life lessons she learned from him.

She recalled that Perkins gave each defendant their dignity — even at their lowest moments.

“Nobody left your courtroom feeling ignored,” she said.

“Judge Perkins,” she said to a framed photograph of him that presided over the courtroom. “You were a gifted judge of character...thank you for helping me grow.”

Colebrook Atty. Philip Waystack remembered how Perkins loved fly-fishing in the North Country and how people in the north could always count on him to take the bench in Coos County when other judges were reluctant to do so.

He said above all else, Perkins was a great mentor, telling the nearly 150 attendees stories about how Perkins helped him learned the ropes when he was a young lawyer.

Judge Larry Smukler, who also acted a emcee, recalled his old friend with fondness and with laughter. He said Perkins always found something he liked about a case and that was because he liked people.

“I could always call Harry. His advice was always good,” said Smukler, who told a story about Perkins final days and his visit to the rehabilitation center where the judge had convinced the nursing staff to let him have his one cocktail a night.

He said the two were sitting in Perkins’s room, after Smukler had also been provided with a glass with ice and scotch by the nurses, and learned that Perkins had recently given advice to one of his nurses about how to get out of jury duty. And Smuk-

ler was the justice who excused her.

Supreme Court Associate Justice Gary Hicks recalled always being able to call Perkins for advice — even when he was presiding on the bench.

Hicks recalled one time that the bailiff slipped a note to Perkins after which he called a recess during his own trial to call Hicks and help him out with his.

“He called me back and got me out of a jam,” Hicks said.

But it was former law partner and retired N.H. Supreme Court Judge Charles “Chuck” Douglas who knew him as well as anyone and had some wonderfully funny stories about the two of them.

He had the attendees laughing out loud as he told a story about being courtroom adversaries in Family Court during the time when the two had just met and a group of students from New England College was observing that day. He said Perkins refused to waive the reading of a complaint against his client, including all its salty language, regarding a domestic squabble.

Douglas said he was a little confused by that move but “if Harry wasn’t waiving, he wasn’t waiving” and he also asked for the clerk to read aloud the charges against his client, despite the fact the the squabble took place in a parking lot where each of their clients said the same things to each other.

“I got my first lesson in Judicial marketing,” Douglas recounted, saying the two went for a beer immediately after the hearing.

Douglas said Perkins told him to realize they were speaking in front of a group of students — some of whom were likely to need legal assistance some day — and that he should present himself as “somebody they’ll want to call.”

The two went into a legal partnership shortly after that.

He said he learned, most of all, that even after a person became a judge that he or she was to always remember that “once a lawyer... always a lawyer.”

Douglas referred to Perkins as a Teflon judge in that it was rare to have one of his rulings overturned. “Even when he was wrong, he was right,” said Douglas.

“Do what’s right, do what’s fair, and do what’s just,” Douglas said.

Perkins died on August 23, 2013. His two daughters, Tammy Lui and Linda Walsh, were among the many who honored him yesterday.

American manufacturing activity expands at best pace in 2 1/2 year WASHINGTON (AP) — US factory activity expanded last month at the fastest pace in 2 ½ years, an encouraging sign that manufacturing could lift economic growth and hiring in the coming months.

The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Tuesday that its manufacturing index rose in September to 56.2, the highest since April 2011.

That’s up from 55.7 in August and the fourth straight increase in the index.

A reading above 50 indicates growth.

Manufacturers added jobs last month at the fastest pace in more than a year and ramped up production, the survey showed. They also received new orders at a healthy pace, though slower than in August.

U.S. factories are showing signs of picking up after slumping earlier this year. A modest recovery in housing and strong auto sales are pushing up demand for steel and other metals, auto parts, furniture and appliances.

Economists said the strong figures suggest that the annual growth rate in the July-September quarter could be healthier than current forecasts of about 2 percent. The index has averaged 55.8 in the past three months, up from 50.2 in the April-June quarter.

And the strength at factories has the potential to set the stage for even faster growth in the October-December quarter. Some analysts are forecasting growth at an annual rate of up to 3 percent.

“Another stronger than expected showing,” Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, a forecasting firm, said. “The data unambiguously point to a pickup in the trend in manufacturing output growth.”

Manufacturers also kept their stockpiles steady after cutting them

for two months. Adding workers and keeping supplies on hand are signs of increased confidence and higher production ahead, economists noted.

Still, the growth at factories could be offset by the partial government shutdown that began Tuesday. Late Monday, Congress and the White House couldn’t agree on a spending measure to keep the government open.

Bradley Holcomb, chairman of the ISM’s survey committee, said that survey respondents weren’t worried about a possible shutdown last month, but would likely begin to raise concerns if it lasted for long.

Most economists say that a shutdown of a just a few days would have little economic impact. But if dragged on for two weeks, it could shave about 0.3 percentage points from fourthquarter growth.

Factories had been hampered by weak growth overseas that lowered demand for U.S. goods. But exports grew last month, though at a slower pace than August. Europe’s economy is slowly recovering after an 18-month recession and Japan is also growing faster after two decades of stagnation.

Earlier this month, the Federal Reserve said manufacturers boosted their output in August by the most in eight years. The gains were driven by a robust month at auto plants.

Still, other data has been mixed.

Companies placed only slightly more orders for long-lasting manufactured goods in August after a sharp fall in July. But demand for so-called core capital goods rose 1.5 percent, after falling 3.3 percent the previous month. Core capital goods are a good measure of businesses’ confidence in the economy and include items that point to expansion, such as machinery and computers.

BIKERS from page 2 Rover as it heads north on the highway. One of the bikers then moves into the SUV’s lane and rides briefly alongside it, peering in through the driver’s side window. It’s unclear from the video what the driver might have done to anger the motorcyclist.

The biker then cuts in front of the Range Rover and, still staring at the driver, suddenly slows down. It isn’t captured on the video, but the motorcycle and SUV bumped, police said.

The motorcyclists, 20 to 30 in all, then stop on the highway, blocking the SUV’s path. Some dismount and approach the vehicle. Police said some of the bikers then began damaging the Range Rover.

The video shows the SUV suddenly accelerating, bouncing over at least one of the motorcycles and its rider as others scramble to get out of the way.

The cyclists give chase, pursuing the driver for about 2.5 miles. The bikers succeed in getting the SUV to stop.

One biker ripped open the driver’s door, but he sped away.

The chase ended when the SUV exited the highway and got stuck in street traffic. The video shows one biker using his helmet to smash the driver’s window. Police said the group then

pulled the man from the SUV and beat him, although that part isn’t shown on the recording posted online. The police department confirmed that the video circulating online is authentic.

The wife of biker Edwin Mieses, Jr., who was run over by the SUV, told reporters outside Roosevelt-St. Luke’s Hospital that her husband was likely paralyzed.

“There’s no hope for his back,” Dayana Meises said. “They crushed his spine, they broke it in two different places, so he will be forever, forever paralyzed.”

She said wanted people to know the driver wasn’t the only victim. “Everyone wants to blame the bikers for something this man did,” she said.

The driver of the SUV, Alexian Lien, 33, has not been charged, officials said.

But Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said Tuesday they were still investigating the incident. His wife and 2-year-old child were not injured.

“Well, it depends on what the circumstances are,” Kelly said. “It depends on whether or not your vehicle is being attacked, whether or not you think you’re being attacked, whether or not your wife and child’s in the car. You have to look at the totality see next page

Woman guilty of leaving 7-year-old alone at Salem Mall SALEM (AP) — A Massachusetts woman has pleaded guilty to letting her 7-year-old nephew wander around a New Hampshire mall for several hours while she went shopping.

Ana Matos of Lawrence, Mass., first told police back in July she was looking for her nephew; however, she was observed carrying three shopping bags containing over $500 in clothing at The Mall at Rockingham Park in Salem.

The 45-year-old Matos pleaded guilty Monday to disorderly conduct; she originally was charged with endangering the welfare of a child. The Eagle Tribune reports she avoided jail time, but received a $500 fine, with $250 suspended for two years as part of a plea agreement.

Matos’s lawyer said she is sorry. He said she is a married, hard-working mother of three children who simply made a mistake.

OBAMACARE from page 2 with knowledge of the situation. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the issue publicly. The number of those enrolled is expected grow as technicians tackle and resolve glitches.

In Obama’s home state, dozens of people who came to a Champaign, Ill., public health office to sign up for coverage found computer screens around the room flashing an error message: “System is unavailable.”

Kimberly Shockley — logging in from Houston, Texas — and Mike Weaver, who lives in rural southern Illinois, ran into the same glitch as many others: They could not get past the security questions while trying to set up their personal accounts through healthcare.gov.

“I’m frustrated, very frustrated,” said Shockley, a self-employed CPA. She spent more than an hour trying to get the security questions to work without success. When she clicked on a drop-down menu of suggested security questions, none appeared. She then tried to create her own questions, but that didn’t work either.

Weaver, a self-employed photographer, said he also ran into problems with the drop-down menus.

And when they started working, he still wasn’t able to set up his account.

“The first day of something that you know is going to have a lot of bugs, it’s not that frustrating,” he said. “If it was the last day to sign up ... then I’d be terribly frustrated.”

Shockley has health insurance, but is looking for a better plan. Weaver is uninsured.

State-operated sites also experienced trouble.

Minnesota got its site running after a delay of several hours. Rhode Island’s site recovered after a temporary crash. A spokesman for the New York Department of Health blamed difficulties on the 2 million visits to the website in the first 90 minutes after its launch. Washington state’s marketplace used Twitter to thank users for their patience.

Exchange officials in Colorado said their website would not be fully functional for the first month, although consumers will be able to get help applying for government subsidies during that time. Hawaii’s marketplace wasn’t allowing people to compare plans and prices.

Connecticut seemed to be a bright spot, although some users reported some snags. Access Health CT sent out a tweet shortly before noon Tuesday, confirming the marketplace logged 10,000 visitors in the first three hours of operation and 22 enrollments. A family of three was the first to sign up for coverage.

California, home to 15 percent of the nation’s uninsured, reported delays online and on the phone because of heavy volume. The first completed health insurance application was taken at 8:04 a.m., just minutes after the exchange opened.

In Portsmouth, N.H., Deborah Lielasus tried to sign up for coverage but got only as far as creating an account before the website stopped working. She see next page

from preceding page of the circumstances, and that’s what we’re doing.”

On Tuesday, police arrested the biker they say who was involved in the initial accident. Christopher Cruz, of Passaic, N.J., was charged with reckless endangerment, reckless driving, endangering the welfare of a child and menacing. Cruz, who was uninjured, was in custody awaiting arraignment Tuesday and hadn’t been assigned a lawyer.

A woman who answered a phone at a number connected with Cruz’s address said she didn’t speak English and hung up.

A second suspect surrendered to police on Tuesday, but was not immediately charged, and his name

wasn’t released.

Police distributed an image of two bikers they said were involved in the chase and said they were wanted for assault.

Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said the motorcyclists were participating in a periodic rally in which well over 1,000 bikers head for Times Square. He said police were caught by surprise by the unpermitted event last year but this year were aware it was taking place and “did a fair amount of enforcement” to break up the processions.

There were 15 arrests and 55 motorcycles confiscated, he said.

from preceding page said she expected problems.

Lielasus, a 54-year-old self-employed grant writer, currently spends about $8,500 a year in premiums and more than $10,000 for out-of-pocket expenses because she has a health condition and her only option has been a state high-risk insurance pool. She said she expects those costs to decrease significantly.

As excited as she was to sign up, she said, her anticipation was tempered by dismay over the government shutdown that was led by congressional Republicans who want to block the health insurance reforms.

“I’m really happy that this is happening, that this is being launched ... I feel like it’s a child caught in the middle of a really bad divorce,” Lielasus said.

The shutdown will have no immediate effect on the insurance marketplaces that are the backbone of the law, because they operate with money that isn’t subject to the annual budget wrangling in Washington.

The marketplaces represent a turning point in the nation’s approach to health care. The Obama administration hopes to sign up 7 million people during the first year and aims to eventually sign up at least half of the nearly 50 million uninsured Americans through an expansion of Medicaid or governmentsubsidized plans.

But if people become frustrated with the malfunctions in the computer-based enrollment process and turn away from the program, the prospects for Obama’s signature domestic-policy achievement could dim.

“You’ve got to launch this thing right the first time,” said Robert Laszewski, a consultant who worked 20 years in the insurance industry. “If you don’t, financially you will never recover.”

Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress, which helped work for passage of the law, cautioned against rushing to judge on first-day performance. Numerous observers had predicted bugs and setbacks. Trained outreach workers in many states are having trouble getting the certification they need to start helping people to enroll.

In Texas, a federally funded network of “navigators” hired to help people enroll was off to a rocky start because of backtracking participants — including some cowed by the politics of the health law.

At least four regional government councils — covering more than 30 counties statewide — reversed course in the past two weeks and turned away funds that would train navigators in their areas. Local leaders described their hesitancy as a mix of uncertainty surrounding state rules and a fear of running afoul of Republican leaders.

Red Sox won’t throw first playoff pitch until Friday BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have decisions to make and plenty of time to make them.

After tying for the best record in the majors, they don’t play until Friday night when they host the opener of the AL division series.

Should they keep 11 pitchers in the best-of-five series? Or can they get by with just 10 and give the other spot to a spare outfielder. And what will be their rotation?

“We’ve got some decisions to make,” manager John Farrell said, “and we’ve got probably beginning Tuesday morning to look at that more intently and get down to the number that we’re going to arrive at on Friday.”

The Red Sox won’t know their opponent until Wednesday night’s wild-card game in Cleveland between the Indians and the winner of Monday night’s AL tiebreaker between the Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers. The opponent could affect the roster composition, Farrell said, but not the rotation.

Jon Lester, Clay Buchholz and John Lackey all had strong seasons and figure to pitch the first three games in some order. Jake Peavy is the fourth starter and the bullpen will have six or seven pitchers, anchored by closer Koji Uehara. He’s allowed one earned run and 12 hits in his last 40 1-3 innings and has shown an ability to pitch more than one inning.

“We’re certainly willing to go more than a threeout save. There might be a six-out save,” Farrell said.

“Hopefully, we’re positioned with a lead in the eighth inning that we can turn to him again.”

The Red Sox took Monday off after finishing the regular season with their second straight loss, 7-6 at Baltimore. They plan three days of workouts, including a simulated game on Wednesday.

That they’re in the postseason for the first time in four years seemed unlikely when the season started.

They were 69-93 in Bobby Valentine’s only year as manager, a winning percentage of .426 that was

N.H. Trooper shoots driver involved in chase to death in Manchester MANCHESTER (AP) — The state attorney general’s office is still investigating the death of a woman who’d been involved in an apparent police chase on Interstate 93 and was fatally shot by a state trooper in Manchester.

had multiple bullet holes in the windshield.

Before the shooting, the woman had led police on a chase that started on Interstate 89 in Bow and went south 12 miles into Manchester.

Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin confirmed the woman’s death. He said she would be identified once an autopsy is completed and relatives are notified.

their worst since 1965. Valentine was fired, Farrell was hired and several free agents produced after signing short-term contracts. The result: a 97-65 record and a .599 percentage that is Boston’s best since 2004, when it won the World Series for the first time in 86 years.

“We were missing being in the playoffs the last couple of years,” star slugger David Ortiz said, “and especially after what happened last year, and to be in the situation that we’re in right now, I’m so excited.”

Ortiz led the Red Sox with 30 homers, 103 RBIs and a .309 batting average. The offense was balanced with Daniel Nava hitting .303, Dustin Pedroia .301, Jacoby Ellsbury .298 and Shane Victorino .294.

They were first in the majors in runs, slugging percentage and on-base percentage, second in batting average and third in walks. And they never lost more than three games in a row.

Ellsbury led the majors with 52 stolen bases despite being sidelined late in the season with a foot injury. But he played in three of the last four games and said he was ready to go.

“I’ll treat it like the All-Star break,” he said of the four days between games. “My timing and everything felt good after that. It shouldn’t be any different, and for a lot of guys it’ll be a good thing.”

Lackey had plenty of time off last year — the whole season, in fact — when he was recovering from ligament surgery in his right elbow. He was one of Boston’s best starters this season with a 3.52 ERA. But he got little run support and finished at 10-13.

Like his team, he heard plenty of cheers instead of jeers.

“To hear games now where he walks off the mound to a standing ovation, that probably hasn’t been the case for a few years,” Farrell said. “And I think, in some ways, it mirrors what this whole team has gone through from year to year.”

The real story: metal roofing facts and myths

By Elaina ShutEn

H

Total Concepts

ave you been curious about metal roofing?

Has someone told you it’s extremely expensive?

Maybe you don’t believe that metal can be installed on your home because of your many rooflines.

Because a well informed consumer is better able to make a wise decision, let’s go over some basics and get to the facts.

WHY METAL? Metal roofs provide many different benefits including durability, energy savings, low maintenance and beauty that can last a life time. While you may see your neighbors re-roofing several times, a high quality metal roof is the last roof you will ever need and when your neighbors are hiring help to shovel snow off of their roof, you will be counting the dollars you are saving because your metal roof sheds snow on its own. Quite the opposite from asphalt roofing, metal is resistant to cracking, shrinking, curling and eroding and, its superior to withstanding extreme weather conditions such as heavy snow loads, hail, storms, wind and wild fire. Your metal roof will look new for years to come. When you choose metal roofing, you’re not only lowering your energy bills but you’re doing your part for the environment as well. In most cases, metal roofing can be installed over your existing roof, eliminating the cost and eco-impact of a tear off and disposal. Currently, an estimated 20 billion pounds of roof waste goes into the U.S. landfills annually.

WHAT ABOUT COST? While the cost of a metal roof can be initially higher than most other roofing materials, you will save money in the long run. In many cases, we have saved our customers money or at least been very close to the same price as the cost to strip, dispose and install asphalt roofing. This is due to the elimination of a tear off and disposal. So, how are you saving money in the long run? Let me explain. An asphalt roof requires re-roofing every 10-20 years, whereas metal can last your life time. Metal roofing will last you 40-50 years.

Some metal manufacturers even have transferable warranties that you can pass on to the next home owner should you sell your property which is very appealing to buyers, not to mention, metal can also increase the re-sale value of your home. A metal roof will also reduce your energy bills by reducing cooling cost in the summer and insulating your home better in the winter.

al A high quality met ever need you will roof is the last roof hbors are hiring neig and when your their roof, of off w help to shovel sno g the dollars you will be countin ng you are savi

WHATS THE RULE OF THUMB ABOUT ESTIMATES? Home owners should get at least 3 estimates. Getting more than 3 estimates can make your choices more confusing and your decision making an unnecessarily difficult one. The least expensive price is

NOT always the better choice. Remember, you’re not just buying a roof, you’re buying an installation, a service and a product. Not all installations are the same, not all metal is the same and the integrity of see ROOFING page 15

the contractor is not always the same. Be sure your contractor carries ample General Liability insurance.

Your contractor should have workers comp as well, it’s the law. Keep a list of questions so that nothing is forgotten when speaking to a contractor. You should feel comfortable with the contractor your choosing, not pressured. Last but not least, local contractors will most likely be more affordable than contractors traveling from another state and will be more readily available and able to service your roof should you need it.

METAL ROOF MYTHS UNCOVERED

what type of home you have or your style preference, there is a metal panel that can be manufactured to suit your needs or desire. Metal panels are now manufactured to resemble wood shake, asphalt shingles, architectural, slate and even clay tiles. You have most likely seen these roofs in your travels, but most people cannot tell that the roof that looks like asphalt or wood shake etc. is actually metal. The best part about these roof replicas is that they come with a 50 year manufacturer warranty and a wide array of color choices.

RUST OR CORROSION Steel metal roofing has a “metallic coating” usually made of zinc or a combination of zinc and aluminum.

This coating is bonded to the steel at the factory and prevents rust from forming. High quality paint is then applied over the metallic coating for a long lasting protection.

LIGHTING Metal does NOT increase the likelihood of lightening striking your home. However, should your home be hit, the metal roof would disperse the energy safely throughout the structure, and because metal

NOISE Many people believe metal roofing will be noisier in the rain. When metal is installed over solid sheathing, it can actually silence noise from rain and hail much better than other roof materials.

METAL ROOFING COME ONLY IN LONG PANELS Contrary to popular belief, metal comes in more styles than just the traditional long panel. No matter

Fall is for planting... trees, shrubs, lawns & bulbs

By Belknap landscape

on which to thrive next spring. Cool season NH grasses recover from summer stresses like drought, heat, and disease in the Fall with proper fertilization... If the lawn has been properly fertilized in the late summer, grass can store carbohydrate reserves in the stems, rhizomes, and stolons.

Carbohydrate reserves help grass resist winter injury and disease, and serve as a source of energy for root and shoot growth the following spring. A late fall fertilization will also provide better winter color, enhanced spring green up, and increased rooting. You will need to apply a balanced, complete Fall fertilizer and a broadleaf weed control, followed by lime, the later if a soil test deems it necessary. Soil test samples may be taken from several locations in your lawn to determine the nutrient profile and pH level of your soil.

Homeowners and commercial property managers are discovering a new gardening season:

Autumn!

Native plantings thrive through harsh winters and provide subtle, four season landscape interest. Fall is, THE BEST TIME for planting!

Plantings from September through late October in northern areas are treated to a less stressful environment with moderate temperatures, sufficient rains, and mild days followed by cool nights. Soil temperatures are optimal for root growth and will continue to grow even after plants drop their foliage (deciduous plants) well into November and later before the ground freezes. You’ll see fewer plant losses attributed to lack of acclimation to the cold than a landscape installed in the spring, when plantings run a higher risk of loss due to the summer’s heat and dryness.

Professional gardeners and landscapers have always valued fall for planting trees and shrubs, seeding lawns and setting out spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils.

Lakes Region residents are never more aware of trees than in autumn, when leaves turn brilliant shades of red, gold and orange and it is the perfect time to to select colorful trees for dramatic effect in your landscape next year. Considering planting meadows or wooded areas with wildflowers? Fall is, in fact, also the opti-

mal time for wildflower planting.

Now is the best time to ask us about Fall fertilizing and to turf, plant and do tree healthcare to your property before the snow arrives. After a stressful, dry and hot Lakes Region summer, considering Fall fertilization for your turf, planting beds and large trees is a smart decision. This

In the flurry of today’s active family lifestyles, it is clear that the garage is no longer just the domain of the family car. For many households, this versatile space is used by every member of the family. It has become the logical place to store tools and gear for sports, hobbies, yard work and playtime, along with out-of-season items that would otherwise take up room inside the home.

However, with so much to hold and family members coming and going all

the time, the challenge is to keep this space neat and well organized.

To help, here are some garage design tips • Establish the transition area—the space that’s reserved for hanging coats, storing shoes and boots, and setting down packages, groceries or mail when you’re opening the door.

• Next, determine a need-it-now area for quick and easy access to things like dog food and leashes, water bottles and

will help your property get a jump on Spring by coming out of winter dormancy as healthy as ever! One of the best times to fertilize your plants and grow a lawn is in the Fall. Taking time to fertilize in the Fall will strengthen the root systems on lawns, plants and trees, giving them a strong base

What About Fertilizing Shrubs and Trees?

Fall is also a great time to fertilize shrubs and trees – most all trees and shrubs need fertilizer, because most of them are located in turf areas where they compete for nutrients. The balance are usually in mulch beds that use up nitrogen as the mulch decomposes. Trees should be fed just like your vegetable-producing and ornamental plants, and Fall - early winter is the time to do this. Some argue that most trees appear to do very well in the forest, although they obviously are not fed by anyone. Trees growing in your landscape are growing in an artificial environment, competing for nutrients. There’s no turf or grass in the forest, only the forest floor, rich in decayed leaves and organic litter.

other beverages, or recycling bins.

• Decide which area is best for long, thin yard and maintenance tools like shovels, rakes and clippers.

• Identify elevation zones, creating a storage area for large items that may be stored out of the way for months at a time, such as coolers, camping gear and holiday decorations. Reserve easyto-reach areas for the kids to keep their sports equipment.

• Plan an area for frequently used items such as active gear, outdoor games and cleaning supplies.

• Stake out a workspace for hobbies and interests. From gardening to fishing, woodworking or automotive work, designate a space for organizing tools and supplies needed to work on these projects.

Transforming the garage into a hardworking, multipurpose space can actually empower a family’s active lifestyle Homeowners can choose from cabinets, shelves, drawers, work surfaces and clever accessories.

The most prevalent product designs point to transitional and soft contemporary styling, with an abundance of soft curves and straight lines.

Collections are enhanced with pieces designed for function, including storage ottomans and wedges, sofa tables and serving stations.

The most popular outdoor furnishings these days reflect a range of wood, synthetic weaves and sturdy aluminum as well as a dynamic use of mixed materials. Sustainably harvested teak, mahogany and South American hardwoods, including eucalyptus, are found in rich natural warm tones as well as weathered gray hues.

Following a popular decorating style in interiors, a number of furniture lines are using reclaimed teak.

Interestingly, a number of seating and table frames are crafted of aluminum finished with

a faux wood grain. Allweather wicker is constructed from synthetic materials formed into strands of various shapes and sizes, and woven in a range of patterns. Fashionable alternative tabletops include leather and acrylic stone.

Pointing to a sense of optimism and brighter, livelier days ahead, outdoor fabrics and finishes include bold pops of color for this season’s outdoor spaces. These graffiti brights include lime green, tangerine orange and vivid blue, from turquoise to azure.

Innovative finishes reflect a turn toward metallics, with bronze, brushed steel and copper

Remodeler confidence rebounds in second quarter Confidence in the remodeling market rebounded in the second quarter of 2013 with the Remodeling Market Index (RMI) rising six points to 55, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

An RMI above 50 indicates that more remodelers report market activity is higher (compared to the prior quarter) than report it is lower. The overall RMI averages ratings of current remodeling activity with indicators of future remodeling activity.

“Remodelers are feeling optimistic about the home improvement market during what has turned out to be an uneven recovery,” said National Association of Home Builders’ remodelers chairman Bill Shaw, GMR, GMB, CGP, a remodeler from Houston. “The RMI future market results are especially promising. Not only do remodelers have projects booked for the next few months, but they also have more work coming in the door.”

The future market indicators component of the RMI increased to 56 from the previous quarter level of 48.

Current market conditions rose from 50 in the previous

quarter to 54. All of the indicators of future activity (i.e. calls for bids, work committed for three months, backlog, and appointments) were over 50 for the first time in eight years.

“Remodelers’ positive sentiment is directly related to increased demand for their services. Rising home prices are making remodeling jobs possible for more homeown-

ers while existing home sales provide additional momentum as home owners prepare their homes for market,” said National Association of Home Builders’ chief economist David Crowe.

BELMONT — This year’s “Autumn Leaves” concert at The Music Clinic Theatre Company will feature the vocal stylings of “The Rockin’ Daddios”.

The popular trio starring Angelo Gentile, Bo Guyer and Jim Rogato has performed their Golden Oldies “feel good music” throughout the Lakes Region to wide acclaim.

“The music of the fifties and sixties conjures up many special memories for those of us commonly referred to as Baby Boomers”, said Bo Guyer. “Music from a bygone era, these tunes bring us back to a more innocent time of our lives. You’ll hear songs like “Book of Love”, “Blue Moon”, “Teenager in Love” and “Little Star” to name a few. The songs are family friendly and guaranteed to warm your heart.”

The concert will also feature actress Pat Langille in the short play “Claire”. Pat has worked in professional and top-notch community theaters throughout New England. She brings “Claire” direct from a recent production at Actors Theatre Playhouse.

The show is a tour de force one-act therapy session, in which the character, Claire, an actress, has been driven over the edge by the heartbreak of show business.

“This is the first time we have included a theatre piece in “Autumn Leaves”, said Artistic Director Laurie McDaniel. “We’re amazed by Pat’s talent, and we can’t wait for the audience to see her in “Claire”.

Laurie McDaniel will perform songs from folk to

Moulton Farm hosting its annual Foliage Festival this weekend MEREDITH — Fun and food will be in abundance at Moulton Farm’s Foliage Festival on Saturday and Sunday, October 5-6.

Food for lunches will be available.

Doughnuts will play a central role in one of the weekend’s fun activities. On Saturday from noon until 2 p.m. the laughter will ring out as contestants challenge each other to a “doughnut on a string” eating contest.

“It should be great fun,” says Rob Stephens, manager of the farm’s popular market. “Eating a Cider Bellies doughnut is always a great experience.

Other Saturday activities will include free face painting and live music. On Sunday, activities will include a magic show starting at 1 p.m., corn bag races, and a free cookie decorating activity starting at 2 p.m. “It’s the chance to let your creative side loose.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Bring more optimism to your situation. Even 10 percent more optimism will make the difference between love and apathy, connection and loneliness, success and failure.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As you strive for mastery of a skill and fail often in this regard, remember to celebrate this interesting juncture. Those who have already mastered the skill are often bored with it. You’re in a good place.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). In these indecisive times, some people can’t seem to decide which side of the bread to butter, or whether to use margarine or marmalade instead... They need your help. Decide for them.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 2). Your birthday emboldens you to call up the top people you want to know, do business with or date.

You feel ready to mingle with the best of the best. Tradeshows and meet-ups will put you on a lucrative path. Your thoughtful investment in November will double by July. New alliances are formed in December. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 7, 14, 11 and 9.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Most religious philosophies would agree that pleasure is not real happiness, and yet it’s hard to imagine that it doesn’t have at least something to do with happiness. Today you’ll debate the morality of a pleasurable circumstance.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Buddha suggested that practically every other creature on Earth was your mother in a past life. Casual connections will seem charged with complexity and familiarity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Honesty isn’t always the easiest choice, but if you are true to yourself, you won’t be false to someone else. “Resolve to be thyself, and know that he who finds himself loses his misery.” -- Matthew Arnold CANCER (June 22-July 22). The stars place such an emphasis on doing creative and aesthetically pleasing work these days.

Just now it may seem like a lot of pressure to live up to. Loosen up. Really, really bad art can be fun, too.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Don’t gossip, and avoid the messenger role, as it’s a no-win situation. If you deliver good news, you’ll be depended upon for more. If you deliver bad news, you’ll be forever associated with it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Very intelligent people tend to bring out the good sense in others, and thuggish types bring out their worst. You’ll make a smart and productive choice to stick to your own business and expect others to do the same.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your gifts cannot be shaped on the anvil of life without some kind of outside force. A skillful teacher is like a blacksmith who knows just how much impact is necessary to help you transform.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In your mind, you are only doing the thing that makes the most sense considering all of the variables present. In someone else’s mind, you’re amazing. Maybe genius is just common sense in abundance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re a social person who likes to be alone sometimes, too. But in today’s case, you absolutely need to be alone in order to accomplish the very personal mission of the day.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2013. There are 90 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn in as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term.

On this date: In 1780, British spy John Andre was hanged in Tappan, N.Y., during the Revolutionary War. In 1835, the first battle of the Texas Revolution took place as American settlers fought Mexican soldiers near the Guadalupe River; the Mexicans ended up withdrawing.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side.

In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow.

In 1944, Nazi troops crushed the two-monthold Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people were killed.

In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created

by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers.

In 1958, the former French colony of Guinea in West Africa proclaimed its independence.

In 1970, one of two chartered twin-engine planes flying the Wichita State University football team to Utah crashed into a mountain near Silver Plume, Colo., killing 31 of the 40 people on board.

In 1971, the music program “Soul Train” made its debut in national syndication.

In 1985, actor Rock Hudson died at his home in Beverly Hills, Calif., at age 59 after battling AIDS. In 2001, NATO Secretary-General Lord Robertson said the United States had provided “clear and conclusive” evidence of Osama bin Laden’s involvement in the attacks on New York and Washington.

In 2002, the Washington, D.C. area sniper attacks began as a resident of Silver Spring, Md., was shot and killed in a store parking lot in Wheaton; the next day, five people were shot dead, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks.

In 2006, an armed milk truck driver took a group of girls hostage in an Amish schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., killing five of them and wounding five others before committing suicide.

Ten years ago: The Los Angeles Times published allegations that California gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger had sexually harassed six women in the past; the actor acknowledged “bad behavior” on his part, and apologized.

Five years ago: Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden sparred over taxes, energy policy and the Iraq war in a high-profile vice-presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis, in which Palin sought to reclaim her identity as a feisty reformer and Biden tried to undercut the maverick image of GOP presidential hopeful John McCain. More than a year after millionaire adventure Steve Fossett vanished on a solo flight over California’s rugged Sierra Nevada, searchers found the wreckage of his plane but no body inside.

(Fossett’s remains were found in late Oct. 2008.)

One year ago: Vice President Joe Biden said the middle class had been “buried” during the last four years, a statement that Republicans immediately seized upon as an unwitting indictment of the Obama administration.

Page 26 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 2, 2013

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I recently became engaged to my boyfriend of four years. Immediately after he proposed, I phoned my parents, who always gave the impression that they liked my boyfriend and enjoyed spending time with him. I thought they’d be happy for us. I was very wrong.

My mom was really angry and said that I am “way too young” to be getting married. Annie, I’m in graduate school. My dad said that my boyfriend “isn’t good enough” and that I should “seriously reconsider this guy.” (This guy!

Like he doesn’t have a name.)

I am still in school, so perhaps this is their way of expressing their worry that if I get married I won’t finish my graduate program, but regardless, I’m really hurt by their reaction. I’ve tried reassuring them, but they keep brushing me aside, insisting I’m marrying too young and to the wrong man.

I cannot figure out their problem. We are in our late 20s, which doesn’t strike me as “too young.” And if they truly believe my fiance isn’t the right person, why didn’t they say so in the intervening four years? Why won’t they give me any concrete reasons for their objections? Sometimes I think what they’re really objecting to is the presence of another person in our small, close-knit family. But it seems selfish of them to place the current family dynamic over my future marriage and happiness. Kids grow up. They get married.

I never in my wildest nightmares thought my engagement would be such a source of anger. What do you think about this? -- Sad Bride-To-Be Dear Sad: It does seem as though your parents suddenly realized that you are leaving the nest and they are panic stricken. Since they refuse to discuss their reasons with you, please ask a trusted friend or family member to in-

tercede on your behalf and try to ascertain whether their objections have any justification. But ultimately, the decision about marriage belongs to you. We hope your parents will welcome your groom into the family instead of pushing you both away.

Dear Annie: I am 84 and have five children, 10 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. I am twice widowed, and one of my boyfriends also died.

I now have a new boyfriend. He is upset with two of my daughters-in-law and a son-in-law because when they see me they say, “Hello, Mother-in-Law!” He says they are being disrespectful for not using my name. He says they should call me “Grandma” or “Mom” or my given name.

This has caused a problem between us. What do you think? -- J.G. Dear J.G.: Your boyfriend has no business issuing orders about how your children or their spouses address you. If it doesn’t bother you, it shouldn’t bother him. He sounds bossy and controlling. Tell him to back off.

Dear Annie: “Phone Me,” the 28-year-old who did not find out about her high school reunion because she isn’t on social media, needs to be proactive. Don’t blame others because you didn’t seek out the information. If you know it is the 10th year of your graduation, contact the school or ex-classmates and find out whether anything is planned.

I have been on every reunion committee since I graduated in 1979. We do the best we can to contact people. However, it gets expensive sending out invitations by regular mail. Word of mouth and seeking out the information is key. So perhaps in anticipation of the next reunion, “Phone Me” could make the effort to find out instead of being “left out.” -- Mary in Ventura, Calif.

Event celebrates 25 years of the Rivers Program along the banks of the Pemi PLYMOUTH — On Wednesday August 14 more than fifty volunteers, citizens, and state and local officials were joined by Governor Maggie Hassan in a celebration of the twentyfifth anniversary of the Rivers Management and Protection Program (RMPP). The event took place at Plymouth’s Rotary Park Amphitheater and boat launch area.

The New Hampshire Rivers Management and Protection Program was established in 1988 to “ensure the continued viability of New Hampshire rivers PRLAC Chair Max Stamp explaining to DES CommissionerThomas Burack and Goveror Maggie Hassan as valued ecologic, ecowhere volunteers conduct water sampling.

rivers. The Pemigewasset River Local Advisory Committee (PRLAC) includes the communities of Franconia, Thornton, Campton, Plymouth, Holderness, Ashland, Bridgewater, Bristol, New Hampton, Hill, Sanbornton, and Franklin.

The event was coordinated by NH Department of Environmental Services (DES) staff and members of the statewide Rivers Management Advisory Committee (RMAC). There were comments from the state’s Rivers Coordinator, members of the statewide RMAC, a New Hampshire egg farmer, an environmental manager for Monadnock Paper Mills, and the president of the New Hampshire Rivers Council.

Several of these people also serve on their local advisory committee.

DES Commissioner Thomas Burack spoke briefly about rivers and watersheds and recognized six individuals with awards for their efforts over the years on behalf of New Hampshire’s rivers. A local recipient was Pat Schlessinger of New Hampton for her efforts to establish to the RMPP. Governor Hassan gave the RMPP a commendation.

Attendees then gathered on the riverbank for a demonstration of water monitoring by members of PRLAC. While analyzing a water sample collected

by Governor Hassan they explained that the results of their bimonthly sampling have been used by NH DES to detect trends in water quality of the past eleven years and that the results are included in a regular report to the US Environmental Protection Agency as part of the Clean Water Act. The Governor was particularly interested in fostering understanding of river and watershed issues and river stewardship among New Hampshire’s youth. Governor Hassan and other attendees ended the day with a closer look at the river and its banks by floating down portions of the Baker and Pemigewasset Rivers.

ALEXANDRIA — This week marks the nationwide release of “A Family Affair,” a new romantic family life novel by Alexandria author Maxwell MacPherson Jr. “A Family Affair” begins the adventures of Alex and Bess as their romance blossoms. MacPherson weaves the families’ tales around a young man’s experiences with various forms of wildlife and other animals. Fishing, hunting, animal husbandry and animal observation are a constant thread through-

out the story. The opening scene takes place on a river in Alex’s hometown, where Alex enjoys himself as he walks along the paths of the Pasquaney River and fishes for salmon while observing Blue Herons, mink and red-winged blackbirds. Comedy and, then, when least expected, tragedy, follow the lives of the various characters.

From the catching of a duck on a fly made from duck feathers to the untimely death of Abigail, Bess’ sister. Then, the rampage of a large four-footed

animal in Belchertown and the sudden impact of a falling tree killing Alex’s old friend’s wife and unborn child. The episode of Blackie, Alex’s pet crow, provides entertainment for both Alex and his schoolmates as the intelligent bird heals from a broken wing and takes small objects and drops them on the school roof. Will the love of Alex and Bess overcome the obstacles they face? Readers will experience laughter and tears as Alex tells about growing see next page
