2-year-old Belmont girl dies as result of injuries

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — The young girl who is said to have fallen down a flight of stairs at her home last Wednesday has died, confirmed a local pastor who has been assisting the child’s mother.

Belmont Police are now referring all inquiries into circumstances surrounding

2-year-old Havana O’Flaherty’s death to the state Attorney General’s Office.

Yesterday, Sr. Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin would only confirm that his office has been in contact with Belmont Police regarding an child.

Wednesday morning, emergency responders were called Building 2 of the Belmont Village Apartments for a two-year-old child

who had apparently fallen down the stairs.

Fire Chief Dave Parenti confirmed later that afternoon that responders found the child who was unconscious but breathing.

He said the child was found at the bottom of a carpeted stairway, on a carpeted landing.

He said the child, who was later identified by police as O’Flaherty, was taken by see GIRL page 12

Americans cut back on credit cards for 3rd month

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans cut back on using their credit cards in August for a third straight month, a sign that consumers remain cautious about spending.

Consumers increased their borrowing $13.6 billion in August to a seasonally adjusted $3.04 trillion, the Federal Reserve said Monday. That’s a record and it followed a gain of $10.4 billion in July.

Once again, the increase in borrowing was driven entirely by auto and student loans.

A measure of those loans rose $14.5 billion to $2.19 trillion.

But credit card debt dropped $883 million to roughly $850 billion.

The decline could hold back consumer spending, which accounts for roughly 70 percent of economic growth.

The report highlighted trends that have surfaced in the post-recession economy.

The measure of auto and student loans has risen 8.2 percent from a year ago and in every month but one since see CREDIT page 12

Debt limit overtaking shutdown as focal point of crisis WASHINGTON (AP) — A possible national default loomed closer on Monday as the partial government shutdown lingered, rattling markets in the U.S. and overseas. A gridlocked Congress betrayed little or no urgency toward resolving either of the threats.

Stocks got a case of the jitters on Wall Street, and halfway around the world China stressed the importance for the international economy of raising the U.S. debt limit.

“Safeguarding the debt is of vital importance to the economy of the U.S. and the world,” Vice Finance Minister Zhu Guangyao said, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. China holds $1.277 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds, second only to Japan.

At home, the political rhetoric was unchanged — and generally uncompromising — while a new poll suggested Republicans are paying a heavier price than Democrats for the deadlock.

President Barack Obama said the House should vote immediately on ending the partial closure of the federal establishment. He accused House Speaker John Boehner of refusing to permit the necessary legislation to come to the floor because he “doesn’t apparently want to see the ... shutdown end at the moment, unless he’s able to extract concessions that don’t have anything to do with the budget.”

Boehner, in rebuttal, called on Obama to agree to negotiations on changes in the nation’s health care overhaul and steps to curb deficits, the principal GOP demands for ending the shutdown and eliminating the threat of default.

“Really, Mr. President. It’s time to have that conversation before our economy is put further at risk,” the Ohio Republican said in remarks on the House floor.

Obama said he would talk with the Republicans on those topics or virtually

any others. But the White House has said repeatedly the president will not negotiate until the government is fully re-opened and the debt limit has been raised to stave off the nation’s first-ever default.

White House aide Jason Furman told reporters that if Boehner “needs to have some talking point for his caucus that’s consistent with us not negotiating ... that’s not adding a bunch of extraneous conditions, of course he’s welcome to figure out whatever talking point he wants that helps him sell something.”

The current standoff is the latest in a string of clashes over the past three years between Obama and a House Republican majority that has steered to the right with the rise of the tea party.

Most Democrats and many Republicans have assumed the GOP will pay a heavier price for a shutdown than the Democrats, see CRISIS page 5

CONCORD (AP) — With an unexpected surplus in hand, New Hampshire’s Democratic political leaders want to use some of the money to restore budget cuts, but Republican leaders say saving the money might be a better idea.

“Just because we have the money doesn’t mean we have to spend it,” House Republican Leader Gene Chandler said Monday.

Chandler, of Bartlett, said he’s open to talking about using some of the money to restore spending cuts but would like to

proceed cautiously. Whatever changes lawmakers make this year could affect spending levels in the next budget, he said.

New Hampshire ended the fiscal year June 30 with about $19 million more than anticipated and tax receipts this year are almost $27 million ahead of projections, Gov. Maggie Hassan announced last week.

She and House Speaker Terie Norelli, both Democrats, would like to use some of the money to restore budget cuts, particularly those affecting social service programs,

and put some into the state’s depleted $9 million savings account.

“A portion should go into the rainy day fund. We’ve had a lot of rainy days,” Norelii said Monday.

Norelli said she wants to talk with Republicans about also easing some of the cuts in the $10.7 billion budget passed in June that was a compromise of both parties’ wishes, particularly an unspecified $7 million in program cuts at the Department see SURPLUS page 3

This man remains an island; divided Meredith Selectboard holds line on prohibition on addresses for vacant lots

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — By a vote of threeto two, the Board of Selectmen upheld the decision of Town Administrator Phil Warren, to deny a resident of Chapman Island, on Lake Waukewan in New Hampton, a street number for a vacant lot on Sawmill Shores Road.

Glenn Feener explained that the sole access to his seasonal island home is the southernmost lot on Sawmill Shores Road, where he parks his car. He likened it to a driveway. But, without a street number, he said that the Post Office, United Parcel Service and Federal Express will not deliver.

Fire Chief Ken Jones, Police Chief Kevin Morrow and Director of Community Development John Edgar originally denied Feener’s request and, when he appealed to Warren, were upheld.

Jones conceded “this is a unique situation,” but reminded the Selectboard that 911 insists that only lots with buildings qualify for street numbers and cautioned against “opening a can of worms” by making exceptions.

He stressed that the Meredith Fire Department and Stewart’s AmbuCRISIS from page 2 since that was the case in 1996.

And a survey released by the Washington Post-ABC said disapproval of Republicans was measured at 70 percent, up from 63 percent a week earlier. Disapproval of Obama’s role was statistically unchanged at 51 percent.

In the Senate, where majority Democrats forced approval of legislation before the shutdown aimed at preventing it, officials said Majority Leader Harry Reid was drafting a bill to raise the current $16.7 trillion debt ceiling before the Oct. 17 deadline

lance Service would be the first to respond to an emergency at Feener’s property. If an emergency call were made from a cell phone, he said that the GPS system would enable the emergency dispatcher to pin-point the location of the caller within 10 feet.

Referring to the lot on Sawmill Shores Road, selectman Herb Vadney remarked “that’s the place we should respond to if he backs over his wife.”

He went on to question why, given the circumstances, town officials were raising “bureaucratic obstacles” rather than reaching “a common sense agreement. If the fellow wants a mailbox, I don’t see why we would stand in the way of it.,” he said.

But, Selectman Peter Brothers said that the town should ensure that the 911 system of numbering properties remains consistent and offered a motion to deny the street number. He was joined by Nate Torr, the board chairman, and Carla Horne in the majority, as Vadney and Lou Kahn dissented. However, Torr asked Warren to explore the situation further in hopes of finding a satisfactory solution. when Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said the government will reach its borrowing limit.

The measure would allow the government to meet its borrowing needs through the 2014 elections, officials said, although few details were immediately available.

Assuming Democratic support, the bill could pass the Senate quickly if Republicans merely vote against it as they press for concessions from the White House. But passage could be delayed until Oct. 17 if the GOP decides to mount a filibuster.

Susan Estrich

Dear John Hey there, Mr. Speaker.

Good to hear that you’ve decided that the United States shouldn’t default on its obligations, and that you’re willing to violate the “Hastert Rule” — the informal rule that the Speaker shouldn’t bring up a bill that doesn’t have the support of a majority of Republicans, even if the bill does have the support of a majority of the members of Congress — to protect the full faith and credit of the United States.

But what about the full faith and credit of all the hardworking folks who aren’t getting paid right now because your friends on the right are playing games with people’s lives?

No one wants to see the United States default.

But what about all the folks who are facing default because they aren’t getting paid anymore?

Maybe you can explain to us why, if a majority of members of Congress are willing to end this irresponsible shutdown, you won’t bring that to a vote.

Oh, I know the answer. It’s because that majority has too many Democrats and too few Republicans for your liking.

I can just imagine the dinner table conversation. Sorry, kids, we can’t pay the mortgage; we’re not going to Yosemite; the E-Verify system is down and so I can’t get hired; we can’t buy the house we’ve been saving for, can’t get mortgage approval, can’t get a loan for our business, can’t sign up for a clinical trial — even though a majority of the members of Congress are against this shutdown — because of the Hastert Rule.

Yes, that’s right: the Hastert Rule.

Now, my bet is that most Americans don’t even know who Hastert is, much less why he has a rule that was never actually “passed” by anyone but is still more important than their getting a paycheck or buying a house or starting a business.

And if they do know who he is, they might ask — reasonably enough — why such an “informal” rule is more important than majority rule, and why a minority (the right wing) of the majority party (Republicans) should have more power than the majority of the whole House.

This is not the way they teach things in high school civics.

Truth be told, Mr. Speaker, no one can force you to follow the Hastert Rule. You do, except when you don’t — for instance, when we were heading over the fiscal cliff, or when your right-wing members didn’t want to provide help for the victims of Superstorm Sandy or pass the Violence Against Women Act. All three were passed by a coalition of sensible and moderate Republicans and Democrats.

Some of us actually think that’s how Congress should work: the majority rules. The center holds.

The lives of hardworking Americans don’t get held hostage by an ideological minority that would rather play games. An “informal rule” shouldn’t prevent you from getting paid or shut down the parks or leave first-time homebuyers unable to get approval for mortgage assistance.

And lest anybody has forgotten, all of this is happening because that minority of the majority wants to remind us (as if we didn’t know) that they oppose Obamacare — which is taking effect anyway. No other reason. No other purpose.

Pure symbolism.

Now, imagine this. Imagine that instead of throwing a temper tantrum and playing games, the people we elected to represent us took it upon themselves to try to fix some of the problems with Obamacare. Imagine that they said to themselves: We tried to stop it, but that didn’t work, and then we lost the election. So now it’s our job to make it work as well as possible, because that would be in the best interests of the people we represent. Instead of being sore losers, we should do our jobs.

I know. It’s a fantasy, expecting these members of Congress to behave like grownups instead of spoiled brats.

Dear John: Enough is enough.

Grow up or go.

In July Mark and Ruth Mooney, who have owned the top-tier manufactured home development for 25 years, received a purchase offer from Maple Holding & Redevelopment, LLC on behalf of Hometown America, which owns and operates 41 top-tier parks across the nation. They have the financial power and management expertise to keep Briarcrest Estates a superb community and maintain the quality and standards the Mooney’s have provided us with all these years.

In fact the Mooney’s have agreed to be involved with running the park for two years after the purchase is made.

However, a relatively small number

of residents, who would rather be in control of the large park by making it a co-operative or resident owned park, took it upon themselves, with the aid of ROC-NH — a housing and loan operation — to form Lakemont Cooperative, Inc. with the intent to purchase the park. The co-op placed a matching offer in September. Belknap County Superior Court has been petitioned to determine if the offer must be accepted, given the fact the large majority of current park residents don’t want the responsibility of owning or maintaining the $10 million dollar park.

A core group of 11 residents, representing the nearly 80 percent of residents who oppose the formation and actions of the co-op, have been meeting to organize and take action on behalf of the residents. We will hold a resident-wide meeting this month and have gained legal representation and a voice in the matter. It is our goal to stop further action by the co-op and preserve the quality and integrity of Briarcrest Estates, which we feel would be achieved in the experienced hands of Hometown America.

Is this really example of what Mohammed wanted Islam to be?

To The Daily Sun, What’s happening in Kenya? The media showed us a major war in a mall in Nairobi, then left us to wonder what it was all about. So I went searching, and found an article from Freedom Outpost.com with more details about the happenings there. But now, suddenly, we are hearing again about Al Shabab.

We were originally told that 10 or 20 jihadists rampaged a mall in Nairobi, and after several days were defeated.

The real story is that they didn’t just shoot people. They kept hostages (nonMuslims) and tortured them, removing fingers, eyes and other parts, and stabbing and hanging them. Some graphic pictures are on the website.

Up to 69 civilians were killed.

The rescue operation began at 6 a.m. on Monday when Kenyan troops and helicopters surrounded the building, but their efforts were hampered by an Al Shabab sniper who managed to pin them back for nearly 24 hours. Tear

gas was used to try to flush him out, and another terrorist reportedly blew himself up. It is believed the resulting fire may have killed dozens of shoppers in a supermarket. The mall was retaken when soldiers attacked the terror group on the roof of the mall.

The first pictures taken inside of the site show a gaping hole in the mall’s roof after three stories collapsed when Kenyan soldiers fired rocket-propelled grenades inside the complex, knocking out a support column.

LETTERS Obama not representing the almost 50% who didn’t vote for him

Beneath the facade built by extremists is some form of hate

To The Daily Sun, The election of an academic ideologue with deep distrust for business should be more than a cautionary tale for Americans going forward. One sure question we should ask future presidential aspirants is tell us how you negotiate, your experience at negotiating and in the end will you negotiate for the greater good of ALL AMERICANS, not just those that elected you. Barack Obama’s presidency exemplifies the calamity, war and political dysfunction created in two party democracy when one person refuses to negotiate or more precisely does not know HOW TO NEGOTIATE. Just about every American president and surely the trans-formative ones all knew well the black art of negotiating. They all found someone they could TRUST in the opposing party to pursue the give and take required to FIND SOLUTIONS AND PROGRESS as the bickering and “politics” went on out front. The behind the scenes working relationships that Reagan had with Democrat Tip O’Neil and the one Bill Clinton had with Republican Newt Gingrich is stuff legends are made of. Both men produced presidencies that we STILL TALK ABOUT. More importantly, both presidents found paths to move their parties partisan walls in order to MOVE THE COUNTRY FORWARD. Not Obama, the ACADEMIC IDEOLOGUE sees himself above negotiating, PROSTITUTING the PURITY of his principles. Having negotiated endless business deals myself there is no single greater DEATH WISH to GETTING any DEAL accomplished than one person trying to protect the PURITY of their PRINCIPLES in any negotiation.

Obama’s job approval rating reflects his LEADERSHIP FAILURE. They now hover at the LOWS of his presidency. Obama’s five years have produced one of the most dysfunctional, partisan PARALYZED periods of American politics in the past century, including our first debt down grade in history. We now head for another one. For a man PURE IN PRINCIPLES NOTHING IS BEYOND harm to protect them. We WITNESS this today. Our Government is now SHUTDOWN. The KING has spoken. Not the president, presidents negotiate,

To the editor, A few weeks ago, Mr. Earle was having difficulty grasping the meaning of extremism. He can be assured that holding political views and beliefs do not make one an extremist.

However, if those views show distain for the rights and liberties of others they do become extreme.

Rest assured, Mr. Earle, that extremists represent both sides of the political spectrum, right wing or left wing, their views are typically beyond the boundaries of logic. They are broadly divided into two groups; movements and adherents that are hate oriented and those that are mainly anti-government, rejecting federal authority in favor of state or local authority or rejecting government entirely. They like to cloak their extremism under the guise of more legitimate discussions, but beneath the facade is some form of hate.

Extremists hold a strong feeling that their opponents have differing view because they are bad, immoral, dishonest, hateful, prejudiced, etc. and not merely because they simply disagree, see matters differently, or are mistaken. They demonize the other side and are intolerant of dissent, attacking the character of those with opposing views rather then deal with the facts or issues raised. Often they will question motives, qualifications, past associations, alleged values, and personalities as a diversion from the issues under consideration. A favorite devise of extremists is to resort to taunts/name calling (e.g. nutty professor, cool-aid drinker, moon bats, elitists, etc.) to label and condemn opponents and to divert others from listening to their positions or arguments. In addition, extremists may deliberately lie or otherwise distort, misquote, slander, defame, or libel

KINGS DICTATE. We witness the inability of a man to negotiate OUT OF IDEOLOGY, in a political system that only moves forward through NEGOTIATION. What ever the problem, it is always caused by simply not OBEYING THE KING. Well, Americans do not recognize a king, as you may have noticed. Remember, the opposite of negotiating is WAR. REAL WARS with real guns, bombs and killing. We like to settle things in a more civilized manner. Politics settles differences without war. In fact one could say the ONE SKILL any politician REQUIRES above ALL is that of negotiation and compromise. If the TOP political leader in America, the president, the place where the TENURE and PULSE of negotiating BEGINS says “I WILL NO NEGOTIATE”.

Then the opponent is only left with ONE course of action, WAR. Gosh, do we know how destructive WAR is... look at the harm already. Right now we have WAR declared by the highest office in America, the president of the United States. He declares WAR at every obstacle he faces. He seeks no advice or counsel from some trusted ally on the opposing side as has been the path to progress so often for American presidents for decades.

The day after he was elected in 2012, with FEWER VOTES than he got in 2008, Obama said he recognized his obligation to be president FOR all the people NOT JUST those who voted for him. He talks so eloquently and then blows smoke up our knickers. Obama is not representing the almost 50 percent of Americans who DID NOT vote for him. He represents ONLY the pure ideology of Democratic politics. The American public has opposed Obama care for five years with strong majorities to this very second. Did that make any difference to Obama. He decided we needed Obamacare, then shoved it down our throats over scramming protests that still DEEPLY DIVIDE the country and the economy. The harm done to this country by Obama’s principles are of NO CONCERN TO HIM. Harm to others is NEVER a concern of ideological despots like him. By the way he says “ the current mess is all George Bush’s fault”. You still buying that one?

Our Forest Service even boarded up the pit toilets in WMNF To The Daily Sun, Over the weekend, my family and I went for a hike in the White Mountain National Forest in Waterville Valley. After the 2-mile hike up the Livermore Trail we came back too the parking area and had to use the bathroom facilities that were in the parking area. Upon going up to the facility, we discovered that it was boarded up with 2x4s with a notice informing us that due to the government shutdown

they were closed.

We were upset that the U.S. Government could,not even afford to keep this pit toilet open for use.

I think that maybe they should board up the White House bathrooms along with the Congressional bathrooms, too.

You know the old saying, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander!

You gotta just love it!

their critics. With extremists, the end justifies the means.

Recently, Mr. Earle exemplified extremism with a letter to this forum in which he declared that the Obama administration had six members of the Muslim brotherhood on its staff.

His information stems from a forwarded e-mail with the title of “White House Staff” or “new in the White House.” This is an unproven conspiracy theory, which alleges that six American Islamic activists who work with the administration are Muslim Brotherhood operatives influencing American policies. There is a great lynch mob among us and they go unhooded and work without a rope.

In previous letters I’ve tried to outline how right wing extremists in the Republican Party have flirted with “birtherism”, charges of socialism, and allegations that the president is a secret Muslim, hated whites and wanted to get even. This type of rhetoric was done to both enrage and energies the party’s extremists. In doing so, they’ve turned their guns on their own leaders and in the process have driven the party more and more toward uncompromising positions. At one time the divide in the GOP was between Republican moderates and conservatives; today the intra-party cleavage is between the Republican establishment and the lunatic fringe.

Ultimately, the core problem that extremism presents is less the severity of their activities, but more so the closed, fixed, and intolerant nature of extremist attitudes and their subsequent imperviousness to change.

The time has come for extremists to start standing for something, instead of simply lashing out against things.

In a co-op, profits can be used to lower rents or make improvements To The Daily Sun, To Ms. Betty Fortier: We are not talking about the past in Briarcrest, we are talking about the FUTURE of Briarcrest. Yes, the Mooney’s have done a great job and we all applaud them for their efforts, but now the residents of Briarcrest must look forward to the years that are ahead of us whether it be a short time or a long time. The Lakemont Cooperative was formed by residents of Briarcrest that care about that future. And, by forming a cooperative, where every resident can be involved in the decisions of how Briarcrest is run, seems to be the best way.

ROC-NH (Resident Owned Communities — New Hampshire) was asked to help those who wanted to form a resident-owned cooperative since they have the experience and their rate of success is 100 percent. Approximately 107 owner-owned parks have been bought by their residents’ cooperatives and all 107 are still running very well as a resident-owned community even after 10, 15 or 20 years.

Do you think a multi-national company would run Briarcrest in our (the residents’) interest or in their profitmaking interest? You can bet that they are going to run their company by looking at the “bottom line”, as any

company should to stay in business.

Anywhere they can make a dollar is where they’ll put their attention and keeping our rents at the level they are now is not how you make a profit.

Why do you think the Mooney’s have kept the park “up to snuff”? ALL out of the “goodness of their hearts”?

They’ve done it to make a profit year after year (to make a living). It’s the Amercan way of capitalism — if you don’t make a profit, you won’t be able to make a living no matter how caring you are to the residents. The bottom line is: profit — for all companies, including a cooperative. In a cooperative, the profits are put back into the cooperative and can be used to lower rents, do capitol improvements (regular and emergency), make mortgage payments, etc., not sent to the shareholders of some out-of-state company. Besides, all the cooperative’s business would stay local — as we are want to hear from all around us. Where would your rent go if Hometown America bought Briarcrest?

We all came here for at least one common interest — to live as we want in a nice place and have someone else do the work, but unfortunately someone has stuck a stick in our wheel and we have to fix it.

Laconia candidates for mayor square off in debate for Channel 9 audience

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Kailief Mitchell and Ed Engler, the two candidates vying to succeed Mike Seymour as mayor, squared off before the television cameras on Sunday morning in the first of a series of mayoral debates scheduled on “Close-Up,” the weekly political program aired by WMUR-TV (Channel 9).

In responding to a series of questions posed by Josh McElveen and James Pindell, the candidates offered different perspectives and priorities without entering into sharp disagreements.

Mitchell, a native of Laconia, U.S. Navy Reservist and assistant teacher at Spaulding Youth Center, described his candidacy as “a natural progression” from his commitment to the community. By contrast, Engler, co-founder, president and editor of The Laconia Daily Sun, confessed he had not dreamt of running for mayor, but once asked to enter the race

quickly decided “I’m all in” and pledged to “work tirelessly.”

Apart from serving as the presiding officer, Engler spoke of the mayor as “the facilitator, the conversation starter and keeper,” who should provide “focus” to municipal government. He said that his experience in both business and government, along with a record of civic engagement, equipped him for the job. Mitchell, the younger candidate, said he looked to be “the eyes and ears of the people,” serving as a “liaison” between the residents and their government while “networking” throughout the community. He stressed his leadership experience gained in his career in the Navy and as president of state Board of Opticians.

Several questions bore on the aging demographic and slack economy of the city. Noting that tourism represents a significant sector of the local economy, Mitchell emphasized the importance of becoming a

year-round destination less dependent on the vagaries of the weather, which he suggested could be furthered by attracting big-box retailers and a resort casino. Both, he said, would provide employment opportunities that reverse the shrinking of the population by keeping more young people from leaving the city as well as drawing new residents in.

Engler said that population growth was essential for a dynamic economy. He said that manufacturing firms in the area like New Hampshire Ball Bearing, Eptam Plastics and Titeflex Aerospace, had wellpaid jobs available, but struggled to find applicants with the required aptitudes and skills. He supported efforts at the Huot Technical Center and Lakes Region Community College to develop a skilled workforce while also stressing the need to generate more professional and white-collar employment.

“We must broaden general prosperity,” he said. see DEBATE page 14

LETTERS There’s enough blame to go around; no one’s hands are clean To The Daily Sun, Holy gridlock, the government has shut down; the sky is falling; it’s Obama’s fault; it’s the Tea Party’s fault; Republicans; Democrats. Geeze, the finger pointing, name calling, blame game goes on and on.

Lets face it folks, there is enough blame to go around to both parties, with no ones hands clean. My take is that the Republicans are short sighted. The GOP should have let the damned ACA go into effect and let the chips fall where they may. Once that happens, I believe so many Americans will be hurt they will be screaming to repeal the whole thing and that the whole liberal movement would be set back 30 years and sanity will return, at least to so degree, to Washington. Nuff said.

George Maloof had a report in his recent letter about the meeting regarding the Northern Pass held in Plymouth last week. I was there along

with my wife and I noted George’s estimate that the anti-Pass folks out numbered the pro-Pass folks by 10 to one. I think that’s kind of conservative there George, it looked to me that you might double that and be not far off.

What is it with government people, why can’t they listen to we the people?

Now, I like the idea of clean hydro power, it’s the kind of green energy that makes sense. But I don’t want a bad plan shoved down my throat — our throats — by some big corporation and government stooges. Bury the damn lines along the highways, take the transmission fees and add to the regional grid, but if Quebec Power doesn’t like that tell them to take a hike.

Hard to believe George and I are on the same page with this but as he noted it’s a cause that has brought political opposites together for once.

Steve Earle Hill

Don’t sing praises of GOP or Democrats, sing praises of the Lord To The Daily Sun, George Maloof, like myself, has made mistakes. Mr. Maloof, I believe you are heading in the right direction, because you now are turning to God’s word to correct even Steve Earle. Good man, George.

Always remember, you have your own mind, and are not led by the Republican Party, or the Democrat Party either. In “Proverbs”, it says in Chapter (1:7) “The fear of the Lord, is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”

When you look into our Universe, and out of all the planets, the Earth is the only one that has life, it’s the blue planet because of the oceans we have — that’s amazing. How could

any person create such a masterpiece?

Only a loving a God could. He made us in his own image. We are wonderfully made and George, you are a teacher to our children. Teach them with the mind God has given you.

I am an evangelist. I proclaim God’s word, telling them of a loving God who sent his son Jesus Christ to die on a cross to save us from our sins. (Matt 1:21) Go to it George, don’t sing the praises of the Democrat or Republican Party, but rather sing the praises of a loving God and see how it will turn out students that will love God and American and the whole world.

10,000 MW power lines are ‘clear & present danger’ to our state To The Daily Sun, While driving around the state doing errands, I noticed all the out-ofstate license plates of tourists enjoying our wonderful autumn weather and brilliant leaves. It made me grateful to be living in a beautiful state which draws such attention from visitors from far and wide. As residents, we have a responsibility to ensure that people continue to visit and deposit money into our economy. Consider how our tourism economy would be harmed, as well our own enjoyment and sense of place, if New Hampshire is turned into a power line super highway to provide electricity to southern New England. That is exactly what has been in the planning stage without our knowledge or input.

In 2009, at the New England Governors Conference, the 2030 Power System Study was introduced by ISO New England which laid out a blueprint for the transformation of New Hampshire into multiple power line corridors. The maps overlay the state with lines and circles indicating industrial wind projects and power lines that practically put all of New Hampshire under a net of new enor-

mous towers and wires. This isn’t just about Northern Pass, but that project does account for much of the new transmission lines. Not only does Northern Pass plan to erect over 1,500 new towers from Canada to Deerfield, they also have plans to go west from Franklin, slicing through Andover, Wilmot Flat, New London into Clairmont. The Northeast Energy Link would enter New Hampshire from Maine and run power lines through the Seacoast area. There is an enormous 10,000 MW power line project slated for southwestern New Hampshire. And finally there is the backbone power line loop encircling and bisecting the state twice. All of New Hampshire will be affected.

The 2030 power plan is happening right now. As Senator Forrester has stated, this is a “clear and present danger” to New Hampshire. To protect our state, contact the governor and your representatives immediately and tell them all future power lines should be buried under transportation rights of way, which is presently being debated in committee.

To The Daily Sun, This past April I took my 10-year-old granddaughter and 6-year-old Grandson to Washington DC during school break. We had a wonderful and moving five days of history and memory making. Of course we were kept out of the people’s house — the White House.

We did all the Memorials. . . except the Washington Monument because it is under repair. We shopped at the various memorials and each day had lunch at one of them — spending considerable dollars I may add. Revenue our country now loses because of all the monuments are closed.

It was the first time I visited the relatively new WWII monument, and the daughter of two WWII Veterans (both my mom and dad served during the war), it was a very moving experience. I admit it, tears streamed down my face. Most moving were the buses of Honor Flight Veterans from all over the United States coming to visit “THEIR” memorial. Their days are numbered considering Pearl Harbor — that day that lives in infamy — was almost 62 years ago. The Obama administration’s disgusting closure — now, today, with CHAINED barricades — of what is an OPEN pavilion area that needs no staff is an insult and abomination against every member who has ever served in our Armed Forces and to the American people. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Korean Memorial and the WWI Memorial are all OPEN AIR

Join us for a discussion about life at Wesley Woods Homes in Gilford. Learn how and why some of The Residents made the decision to move, how it has affected their lives, and what advice they have for people looking to make a change.

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel LUCKY?’

While change is hard, don’t let it stall your life. If you are over 62 or know someone who is, come find out about this amazing community. Enjoy dinner and mingle with our residents.

type memorials. . . all closed by retaliatory political one-up-manship.

At the WWII Memorial, my grandchildren and I visited the pillar of each state, noting the many state wreaths placed at them. . . many by visiting schools. We tried to personally thank every veteran we could for their service to our nation.

Ronald Reagan once exclaimed “Mr. Gorbachev, TAKE DOWN THIS WALL”. The American public should inundate our Congress and the president with the same demand. Every day we hear of more and more private businesses on federal lands that require no federal funding nor staff being forcibly shut down by Park Service “essential” police on orders of the Obama administration. We must stop this madness.

Senate Democrats, it is time you stop rejecting the House Republicans repeated votes to pass the budget because you refuse to accept anything that delays Obamacare.

LETTERS I might not be for a co-op if local family were buying Briarcrest To The Daily Sun, I am a resident of Briarcrest. I have enjoyed living here for the last 13 years, which was like being on a 13-year vacation. I do not think that the sale of Briarcrest is only a two sided issue. We have all been lucky enough to enjoy living in a beautiful family-run park. No one has a problem with the Mooney Family, they are wonderful, caring people. Each of us has to determine what is best for us as individuals.

I have made my choice based on what I have researched myself. I would prefer that the park become a co-op. I may not feel that way if another local family were buying the park, but that is not the case. This letter is not to trash Home Town America. We have all seen and learned enough to know that things will never be the same when this community becomes one of many, owned by people we will never get to know. They will never know your name or care about you as an individual as the Mooney family has. I myself would prefer to

deal with people that are here, on the premises, that we already know.

People that care about the community and will continue to keep it up to the standards we are used to. I did not make my decision in haste. I attended the co-op meetings and learned that the numbers DO work and it is in our best interest as residents to take control of our own community. I also did my own research on the Home Town America company. They are a huge business with a bad reputation and they buy and sell parks routinely for profit. It is easy enough to look into and I encourage you to do your own research without listening to either side. I have always felt secure in living in Briarcrest. I think that going co op is a more secure feeling, knowing that it will not be sold again. People please, make your OWN decision. I have only one question that has not been answered. Why is Home Town America’s money better then ours?

Democrat-controlled Senate is hell bent on destroying the USA To The Daily Sun, Social Security and Medicare are government-controlled programs FULLY paid for in advance by recipients! Our lying government steals those reserve funds for their waste, then call the payments entitlements, as if not earned. That matches everything LIAR Obama says and does, backed up by Democrats in Congress.

Look at the hundreds of executive orders Obama has put out, ALL lead-

ing to his COMPLETE takeover of the USA, as ultimate dictator.

Why are all Democrats suckers for his takeover? Our Republican House is right on trying to protect all of us, while the Democrat-controlled Senate is hell bent on destroying the USA. Never have we seen a president so pigheaded and unwilling to discuss his gross errors.

FBI from page one personnel” and the training would be stopped.

“I guess they tried to keep it (the FBI Academy) open but by Thursday they realized they couldn’t,” Canfield said yesterday.

This is day eight of the partial federal government shut down, caused by the inability of Congress to agree on a 2014-2015 budget that includes funding for the Affordable Care Act. Many federal employees not deemed “essential” have been furloughed without pay, including in New Hampshire the U.S. Forest Service employees as well as a number of people working at the Portsmouth Naval Base.

Canfield, who drove down to Quantico last Friday, was one of about 200 people chosen to attend the 2014 autumn session of the FBI National Academy.

He said there was one other police officer from Manchester in his class as well as 24 police officers from countries other than the United States.

The FBI academy offers rigorous 11-week training

class specializing in leadership and management for top ranking police officers and after applying a while ago, Canfield was accepted. The program itself is paid for by the FBI and the sending community — in this case the Laconia Police Department — pays for transportation to and from the academy as well as uniforms.

Canfield said he was on a waiting list for a while before he was accepted into the program. He said he was told by the academy directors that all of those who were unable to finish this session because of the government shut-down, will be able to attend one of the 2014 sessions. He said there is a waiting list of about three years after an application.

Graduation from the FBI Training Academy is one of the more prestigious training classes a police officer can receive. Other area graduates included former Police Chief Mike Moyer, Sheriff Craig Wiggin and Tilton Police Chief Robert Cormier.

At the time, police blocked the entrance to the apartment building with yellow crime scene tape.

Lt. Rich Mann confirmed there was an investigation and that Havana’s mother, Crystal Case, was at work and the child was in the care of an adult when she was found at the bottom of the stairs.

He said the tape was removed sometime Wednesday night.

Havana’s family held a candlelight prayer vigil

for her in Belmont Village last Friday. First Baptist Church Pastor James F. Smith officiated over the Friday’s vigil. He also dedicated his Sunday service to Havana.

Police attended the vigil but stood a respectful distance away from the nearly 100 people who came to pray for the little girl.

Smith said yesterday that Havana was taken off life-support shortly before Friday’s vigil and died sometime Saturday.

Havana attended the Heavenly Sonshine Preschool offered by the First Baptist Church.

WHAT IS ROOT CANAL THERAPY (RCT)?

Have you been told you need a root canal (RCT) but you’re not sure what it is? A tooth that needs RCT is a tooth with an injured pulp in the center of the tooth. The pulp is made up of blood vessels, nerves, and other soft tissues. It runs like a thread from one end of the tooth to the other, ending at the tip of the root. Its only purpose is to enable growth of the tooth.

Once your tooth has developed, the pulp is of little use – it just hangs around and tries to stay out of trouble. The pulp can become injured from decay or trauma, and will eventually get infected unless it is removed. RCT is a technique of pulp removal and treatment that enables the patient to enjoy the comfort and good use of a tooth which would otherwise require extraction.

RCT is done by carefully cleaning and sealing the canal(s) -- each tooth has a minimum of one and a maximum of four canals. The tooth will then usually require a “post & core” and/or a “crown” to strengthen and protect it.

RCT has a success rate of about 95% in skilled hands, and several hundred thousand cases are completed every year.

purchase the 183-acre park with 241 home sites for $10 million. However, state law entitles the tenants to make a counter offer by presenting a purchase and sales agreement within 60 days of the first offer.

Lakemont Cooperative has matched the $10 million offer and is seeking to arrange financing.

Meanwhile, the Mooneys petitioned the Belknap County Superior Court to approve the sale of the park to Maple Holding and Redevelopment, LLC. Attorney John Giere, representing the Mooneys, contends that since the law is intended to safeguard the interests of tenants of the park, most of whom oppose cooperative ownership, approving the transaction would serve the best interests of the residents

in keeping wit the intent of the law.

Attorney Robert Shepherd of Nashua is preparing a response on behalf of the Lakemont Cooperative.

McLaughlin said that the statute was written to provide for cooperative ownership, but failed to anticipate the situation that has arisen at Briarcrest Estate, where a majority prefers for the park to remain in commercial ownership. “The statute fails to provide for dissent,” he said. He explained that while the Mooneys and the Lakemont Cooperative are parties to the litigation before the court, the majority of residents are without a voice. McLaughlin said that he is in the process of preparing the case and expects to petition the court to permit the Briarcrest Estates Home Owners Association to intervene soon.

CREDIT from page 2 May 2010. But credit card debt is essentially where it was a year ago. And it is 16.9 percent below its peak hit in July 2008 — seven months after the Great Recession began.

Slow but steady job growth and small wage gains have made many Americans more reluctant to charge goods and services. Consumers may also be

hesitant to take on high-interest debt because they are paying higher Social Security taxes this year.

At the same time, the weak economy is persuading more people to attend college. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York quarterly report on consumer credit shows student loan debt has been the biggest driver of borrowing since the Great Recession officially ended in June 2009.

‘Day of Play’ kicks off Advanced Manufacturing Week in Lakes Region

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

NORTHFIELD — Lakes Region manufacturers are opening their doors to the public this week with a series of open houses to showcase their advanced manufacturing capabilities.

The week-long celebration kicked off on Saturday with the “Day of Play at EPTAM Plastics,” a fun event designed for families in which children were provided with all kinds of recycled materials and craft supplies to create whatever their imaginations envisioned.

Eptam Plastics is a leading manufacturer of machined plastic components for industry and medical equipment device manufacturers.

Among those taking part were Forrest Weaver, 6, and his brother,

Charlie, 5, who were there with their parents, Brian and Cori, of Concord.

Forrest was building a glider while Charlie was fabricating a popcorn machine.

Brain Weaver said that his family was there to participate in the cardboard challenge, an international event being held in 43 countries, and hold found out from the Internet and a YouTube video that a regional event was being held in Northfield.

The art director for MAARK, a Boston strategic marketing firm, Weaver said that the worldwide event was organized by the Imagination Foundation, which is working to build project-based learning and STEMfocused curriculum in schools. ‘’They were inspired to start this by see next page

Walk-off homer keeps Rays alive against Red Sox ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays are still afloat in the AL division series.

Jose Lobaton hit a solo home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning into the giant fish tank beyond the center-field wall, and Tampa Bay staved off elimination once again by beating the Boston Red Sox 5-4 Monday night.

The Rays cut Boston’s lead in the best-of-five series to 2-1. Game 4 is Tuesday night at Tropicana Field, with Jake Peavy starting for the Red Sox against Jeremy Hellickson.

Tampa Bay took a win-or-go-home game for the fourth time in nine days. The Rays did it with an unlikely stroke as Lobaton, who came off the bench late in the game, connected against Red Sox closer Koji Uehara.

“It’s unbelievable. It’s something you can’t explain,” Lobaton said. “We never give up. We’re going to keep fighting.”

Back home after two weeks on the road, the Rays gave a sellout crowd of 33,675 little to cheer until Evan Longoria homered on his 28th birthday. Longoria’s three-run shot off Clay Buchholz with two outs in the fifth rallied Tampa Bay to a 3-all tie.

Pinch-hitter Delmon Young, who has a penchant for driving home key runs in October, put the Rays ahead 4-3 with an RBI grounder in the eighth.

The Red Sox tied it in the ninth against Rays closer Fernando Rodney. Dustin Pedroia’s RBI grounder made it 4-all.

Rodney got the win when Lobaton homered to right-center, into the 10,000-gallon tank where cownose rays swim around.

Uehara did not give up a home run in his final 37 regular-season appearances.

The Rays won three must-win road games in three cities over four days just to get into the divi-

sion series, so they felt good about their chances of coming back against the Red Sox. Especially with Alex Cobb on the mound. The right-hander beat Cleveland 4-0 in the AL wild-card game last Wednesday and has been one of the consistent pitchers in the majors since August 2012.

The Red Sox were just as confident about the prospect of closing out the series.

Buchholz, limited to 16 starts this season because of a neck strain that landed him on the disabled list for three months, beat the Rays twice this year while allowing no runs and five hits in 13 innings. He also entered his second career postseason appearance with a 2.26 ERA in nine career starts at Tropicana Field.

Cobb settled down after a shaky first inning in which he gave up a leadoff single to Jacoby Ellsbury, hit a batter with a pitch and walked David Ortiz.

But the Red Sox got only one run out of it, when second baseman Ben Zobrist made a throwing error while trying to turn a double play.

Cobb, celebrating his 26th birthday, retired eight in a row before walking Ortiz leading off the fourth.

Mike Napoli followed with a single for the second hit off Cobb, yet Boston was unable to take advantage.

Ortiz tagged and went to third on Daniel Nava’s fly ball, then was nearly caught too far off the bag when Jarrod Saltalamacchia struck out and catcher Jose Molina threw to third base trying to pick off Ortiz. The inning ended with Stephen Drew hitting a grounder back to Cobb.

Buchholz wasn’t fortunate in the fifth, when Yunel Escobar beat out an infield single and David DeJesus doubled with one out. Ben Zobrist popped to shortstop, bringing up Longoria, who became the second player in major league history to homer during the postseason on his birthday.

from preceding page a 9-year-old boy who spent all of his summer in 2011 building a cardboard arcade in his dad’s used auto parts store. Somebody put together a YouTube video of it calling it Caine’s Arcade. It became a big hit and inspired what you might call a flash mob of visitors, which has since led to the Global Cardboard Challenge and the Global Day of Play.’’ said Weaver.

He said that his children, both of whom are bring home schooled have been inspired by ‘’Caine’s Arcade’’ and that it has helped them feel comfortable in being creative.

DEBATE from page 8 Both candidates expressed strong support for the city’s property tax cap. Mitchell recalled that he not only signed the original petition but also encouraged others to do so.

“It’s been great,” said Engler, explaining that it has forced the City Council to set its priorities and manage its resources. When Pindell wondered if the tax cap stifled investment, Engler pointed to the expansion of the Huot Technical Center and improvements to the Laconia schools undertaken without skimping on annual roadwork and other projects.

For Engler, the incidence of drug abuse and trafficking was primarily a socio-economic problem and until that is overcome “we must rely on law enforcement”.

Mitchell said that a solution would depend on “what the rest of the community can do,” adding that he thought that the citizens’ police academy, now in its third year, was a step in the right direction.

The general election will be held on Tuesday, November 5.

SPORTS Golden Eagles hang on for field hockey win over Somersworth

Red Raiders find redemption against Pittsfield

By AlAnA Persson FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

Kelsey Buckley’s second half goal supported Maddie Laflamme’s first half goal to help Gilford to a 2 - 0 field hockey victory at Sommersworth on Friday.

The defense held hard-hitting Sommersworth in check for the majority of the game as the Eagles raised their record to 9 - 0 - 1.

I-L volleyball improves to 8-3 The Inter-Lakes High School varsity volleyball team improved to 8-3 in NHIAA Division III standings with a straight set victory over Hillsboro-Deering on Friday night in Meredith. Set scores were 25-11, 25-13, 25-11. Senior captain Jordan Donohue hit .645 with 22 kills while adding seven service points and three blocks in what coach Randy Mattson called, “an all-around exceptional performance.”

Fellow senior captain Lydia Swedberg served 96 percent with 22 points including four aces to lead all scorers. Hayley Roth registered 34 assists and eight points and Jenny Pelczar led the defense with eight digs. Jessica Schofield knocked down five kills and two blocks and freshman middle hitter Amanda Kurowski recorded five service points and one ace.

Sant Bani soccer ends tough week with a loss Battling injuries and fatigue, the Sant Bani soccer team dropped its third straight match, 3-1, to Proctor’s JV1 team on the road Friday. Ahead 1-0 at the half, thanks to an own-goal in the Proctor end, the Sant Bani squad had hopes of ending a 4-game-in7-day stretch with a win. Less than 6 minutes into the second half, however, Proctor scored their first of three unanswered goals.

“Schedule and injuries caught up with us in the second half,” Sant Bani coach Todd Schongalla said after the game. With center midfielders Caio Thielen and Zhenglin Yu and forward Mariah Howard injured, it was difficult to keep the ball in the Proctor end of the field. “Give credit to everyone out there today for keeping the game within reach and playing their hearts out. A gutsy defensive performance, and the continued unbelievable goalkeeping of Ander Trevino Aizpurua, kept us in it right until the end.”

Sant Bani opens the second half of their season at home with a chance to even the score, playing the same Proctor team in a rematch.

BELMONT – After suffering their first loss of the season on Wednesday, the members of the Belmont High School varsity volleyball team redeemed themselves with a win against Pittsfield High School during the Red Raiders’ homecoming game Saturday evening.

The final score was 3-1 Belmont.

Belmont struggled on the court during the first set, and their lack of coordination and communication resulted in an uphill climb for the rest of the match. With a score of 18-16 Pittsfield, the Belmont girls worked to close the two point lead but were unsuccessful.

Pittsfield continued to outplay Belmont, winning the first set with a score of 25-21.

Feeling the sting of the loss, Belmont coach Melissa Miner shared her disappointment in the team and encouraged them to show Pittsfield how they really play. Heeding this advice, the girls stepped up their game during the second set. The Red Raiders hit their stride early in the set as they advanced 12-6. Belmont’s significant lead began to be chipped away by Pittsfield however, as they closed the see next page

LRCC’s Johnson a Rising Stars Awards finalist

LACONIA — Lakes Region Community College (LRCC) Business Management Honor Student, Kimberly Johnson of Meredith has been named one

of four finalists for the 2013 Rising Stars Award, College Student of the Year in New Hampshire.

Carlene Rose LRCC Business, Accounting, and Office Technology Management Department Chair Carlene Rose, said .”LRCC faculty, staff, and students are proud to have Kim as the sole community college student finalist. She is a top-notch young lady who is quite worthy of receiving the College Student of the Year in New Hampshire. Ms. Johnson is extremely active at LRCC.” Johnson is President of LRCC’s Phi Beta Lambda, a nationally recognized student club, and has been active in PBL since becoming a student. Johnson was the recipient of the 2013 LRCC Academic Excellence Award from the Business Department. She is also active in the College’s Prescott Hill Authors Society, PHAS Tracks, a national award-winning literary publication.

She is presently doing an internship at Lakes Region Community Services and was heavily involved in LRCC’s Flapjack Fundraiser for Autism where PBL raised $800 for the Autism Foundation.

Johnson took first place at PBL’s State Leadership Conference for Public Speaking. see next page

from preceding page lead to 13-11. The attempt to take over the lead fell short for the Pittsfield girls, as Belmont again widened their lead and finishes up set two with a score of 25-16.

Entering the third set the Belmont girls started off strong, winning the first nine volleys. Pittsfield began to advance as the set continued, winning nine of the next thirteen volleys. Although the girls on each side of the court were working hard to put points on the board, Pittsfield’s attempt to come back fell short again as Belmont racked up a 10 point lead, winning the third set with a score of 25-15.

Belmont entered the fourth set poised to claim the overall win. After various carefully executed digs and a long volley won, the Belmont girls had a lead of six points with a score of 8-2. Following the trend set during earlier sets in the game, Pittsfield started to pull close, shorting Belmont’s lead to one point on two different occasions. Eager to regain their lead Belmont girls worked as a team to put the final points on the board, winning the fourth set with a score of 25-16.

Commenting on the win, Miner said, “We’ve had

a really good year, with a 9-1 record. Recently our setter Megan Bailey got her 1,000th assist and our libero Jessie Bergeron got her 500th dig.” Miner credits much of the team’s success this year to the strong defense, which has helped them greatly during games throughout the season. The team’s 90 percent serving accuracy has also been an important asset while on the court. Although the offense isn’t as strong as Miner would like, she said her players are working on their skills every day.

For the Red Raiders, Bailey recorded 8 aces, 5 digs and 36 assists. Bergeron added 3 aces, 3 kills and 23 digs. Jackelyn Robarge had 4 aces and 3 digs, Bridget Annis had five kills and a pair of blocks, and Alyssa Woods had 14 kills.

Said Miner, “The team is working well overall this year, but must be ready for the tough games coming up. After defeating Inter-Lakes and Moultonborough they will be coming back wanting revenge, and after our recent loss to Winnisquam the girls are already anticipating another challenging game when we play them again.”

The Belmont girls will be taking on Franklin on Wednesday, October 9 at home.

pendents from Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton, and any other towns in New Hampshire. Per their usual meeting format, those interested in having dinner or socializing before the meeting should plan to arrive as early as 5:30 p.m.

In an effort to help those in the community who are less fortunate, the committee asks that each attendee bring a non-perishable food item to the meeting for distribution to local food pantries.

That Impossible’ talk at the Taylor Community Friday

LACONIA — The Taylor Community recognizes that moving to a smaller home can seem like an impossible challenge for some people, therefore they are offering an informative session entitled “Downsizing - It’s Not That Impossible” presented by Mariluz Flanders. This panel presentation and discussion will be held Friday, October 11 from 11 a.m. to noon in the Woodside Building at Taylor Community, 435 Union Ave. Many seniors have lived in their home for years, even decades, during which time they’ve accumulated a lot of personal possessions. Paul Charlton, who works with seniors planning their move to Taylor Community, notes it can be overwhelming for many. “I talk with people who are really excited to move. Then they go home and become paralyzed when they look at all the stuff in their closets, attics, sheds and basements. That’s where the advice of senior move managers can help; they do this for a living and their help is invaluable.”

Alan Robichaud, the community development director from Granite United Way, will talk about options for where people can donate unwanted items. Current Taylor residents are also going to be on hand to share their downsizing experiences.

To reserve your place at the seminar, please call Taylor Community at 524-5600 or email rsvp@taylorcommunity.org.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

from comparison. Right now, you’re likely to feel threatened by other people’s assets, which in reality have nothing to do with your own success. Do your best, and ignore the rest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a quiet confidence that comes from giving back that cannot be duplicated through any other action. Selfless generosity orients you differently. You radiate outward instead of being selfconscious.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Forget about the mistakes of the past; you now have the chance to start new. You’ll walk a little faster and speak a little louder today -- two of the main reasons you get things done.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). Overdoing things is counterproductive this month.

You are lucky when you relax, do less and let things unfold, especially in matters of the heart.

November brings news that you’ll act on and eventually turn into a moneymaking opportunity. Sever a tie in January, and you’ll make three more that better suit your life. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 33, 31, 28 and 17.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Everyone is flawed in some way. Accepting your own imperfections takes courage. You don’t have to be fearless; you only have to be willing to endure the fearful feelings and stand by yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The way to amplify your attractive qualities is to feel good inside about who you are. A stellar shampoo is an easier route, but you won’t be sorry for the effort you make to get right with yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t start a competition where there doesn’t need to be one. Why put yourself in a position that requires you to do more just to prove a point? Besides, it will be a pain if you have to soothe the ego of a sore loser.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll have many options, and you’re in just the mood to make the most of them. You can clearly see what needs to happen next, and you’ll do the thing that makes you feel healthy, robust and vital.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Progress is coming gradually these days -- so gradually, in fact, that you may be too impatient to call it a win. Day-today forward movement will contribute more to your success than a sudden sweeping victory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Superficial beauty is as much an illusion as superficial ugliness. You’re after something deeper now, a kind of beauty that is unchanged by the passage of time.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When it’s time to call on a stranger for help, for instance a repairperson or other professional, you may encounter a certain amount of reluctance in yourself.

Today this is an instinct to heed, not a fear to overcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The situation you believe is causing you unhappiness is actually not the cause at all. The cause is something random, and the solution is exercise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Beetles and roaches were born with hard shells on their backs, but the hardest parts of you are on the inside -- and they’re also the softest. Surrender to your human frailty, and you’ll find the sense of connection you seek.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Refrain

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Oct. 8, the 281st day of 2013. There are 84 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 8, 1871, the Great Chicago Fire erupted; fires also broke out in Peshtigo, Wis., and in several communities in Michigan.

On this date: In 1869, the 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce, died in Concord, N.H. In 1918, U.S. Army Cpl. Alvin C. York led an attack that killed 25 German soldiers and captured 132 others in the Argonne Forest in France.

In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was indicted by a grand jury in New Jersey for murder in the death of the son of Charles A. Lindbergh.

In 1944, “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” starring Ozzie and Harriet Nelson, made its debut on CBS Radio.

In 1945, President Harry S. Truman announced that the secret of the atomic bomb would be shared only with Britain and Canada.

In 1956, Don Larsen pitched the only perfect game in a World Series to date as the New York Yankees beat the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5, 2-0.

In 1957, the Brooklyn Baseball Club announced it was accepting an offer to move the Dodgers from New York to Los Angeles.

In 1962, Chuck Hiller of the San Francisco Giants became the first National Leaguer to hit a World Series grand slam; the shot came in Game 4 against New York Yankees pitcher Marshall Bridges. (The final score of the game was Giants 7, Yankees 3.)

In 1967, former British Prime Minister Clement Attlee died in London at age 84.

In 1970, Soviet author Alexander Solzhenitsyn was named winner of the Nobel Prize for literature.

In 1982, all labor organizations in Poland, including Solidarity, were banned.

In 1992, former West German Chancellor Willy Brandt died in Unkel, Germany, at age 78.

Ten years ago: A day after being elected governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger said he was promised “a very smooth transition” by ousted Gov. Gray Davis and vowed to “open up the books” in dealing the state’s ailing economy.

Five years ago: After a day of bouncing higher and lower, Wall Street plunged again. The Dow Jones industrial average lost another 189 points to close at 9,258 — the sixth straight day of losses for the Dow. German farmer Karl Merk, who received the world’s first complete double arm transplant, told reporters that incredulity gave way to joy when he woke from surgery to discover he had arms again.

One year ago: Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney accused President Barack Obama of being too passive in his dealings with conflicts in the Middle East. Speaking at Virginia Military Institute, Romney called for the U.S. to work with other countries to arm the rebels in Syria. Obama declared a national monument at the Keene, Calif., home of Cesar Chavez, the late founder of the United Farmworkers Union.

Auto club AAA said the average price for a gallon of regular gasoline in California had climbed to $4.67, the highest in the nation, amid refinery disruptions and corrosion issues in an important pipeline.

Series speakers will discuss the ethical and moral expressions of the problems of today, and potential solutions.

Benjamin will discuss how and why the Obama administration Medea Benjamin (Courtesy came to rely on drone photo) warfare, the dangers of engaging in secret wars behind the backs of the American people, and what citizens can do about it.

Medea Benjamin is a cofounder of CODEPINK, a women-initiated grassroots peace and social justice movement, and Global Exchange, an international human rights organization.

Benjamin has been described by New York Newsday as “one of America’s most committed—and most effective—fighters for human rights,” and the Los Angeles Times has called her “one of the high-profile leaders of the peace movement.” She has distinguished herself as an eloquent and energetic figure

in the progressive movement. In 2005, she was one of 1,000 exemplary women from 140 countries nominated to receive the Nobel Peace Prize on behalf of the millions of women who do the essential work of peace worldwide. In 2010 she received the Martin Luther King Jr. Peace Prize from the Fellowship of Reconciliation.

The author/editor of eight books, Benjamin’s latest book is Drone Warfare: Killing by Remote Control.

She is currently campaigning to get lethal drones out of the hands of the CIA. The final speakers in the Sidore Lecture Series this fall will be at 7 p.m. November 5 when attorneys Mark Howard and David Ruoff will discuss the constitutional principle behind the right to counsel, even when the defendant is known to be guilty, and the role of attorneys as teachers in geopolitics.

All Sidore Lectures are free and open to the public, but reservations are recommended. A reception follows each lecture. Tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 8, 2013— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: When our daughter was a child, she had emotional issues and extensive anger management problems. With tremendous concern and love, we got her professional support and therapy, and ultimately, our daughter learned the skills to control herself. What we did not do was tell extended family members of these private problems. We had seen their extreme intolerance for any kind of mental health issues and did not want our daughter to suffer prejudice from her own family.

In college, the troubling incidents started again. Because of our daughter’s refusal to let us have access to her medical information, we had no real idea of what was happening. The next few years included troubling breakups with both friends and boyfriends, extreme weight loss and talk of suicide.

Our daughter is now 32 and recently married. She suddenly and inexplicably has cut us off. When we try to communicate with her, she becomes hysterical with rage. We have learned she has been saying horrible things about us to the same extended family members we tried to protect her from in childhood. We are devastated. One relative actually told my husband that we must have done something terrible to our daughter for her to treat us this way.

These family members now have a special, almost frenzied new importance to our daughter. They judge us constantly. To be accused of such mistreatment is insulting and painful. Please print this so these family members will stop jumping to conclusions. -- Reading This Can Help Dear Reading: Most likely, the only thing that will change their perspective is to be on the receiving end of your daughter’s erratic behavior. Despite all the therapy she had when younger, her problems haven’t disappeared. She has simply chosen to deal

with them in her own way, which currently precludes a loving relationship with you. We hope that will change. While you cannot control what the relatives think, please take comfort in knowing you handled your daughter’s issues in a way that protected and helped her. That is what good parents do.

Dear Annie: Like many people, I suffer from the effects of multiple sclerosis. To look at us, you wouldn’t know anything is wrong. But the pain I suffer from daily is sometimes unbearable.

How should I reply to inconsiderate people who make comments like, “Come on, hurry up” or “What is wrong with you?” I wish people would think before they open their mouths. They do not know the struggles I face.

There is treatment for MS, but no cure. I maintain my regimen of daily injections, but most of the time I cannot control its rampage. Maybe this letter will bring awareness to people not to judge on outward appearances. -- Suffering in Michigan Dear Suffering: We hope so, but unless you are willing to tell these impatient people what the problem is, they will continue to behave rudely toward you. Please, folks, the people around you may be coping with terrible difficulties that are not visible.

Be kind.

Dear Annie: I loved the letter from the “Lady Doctor,” who was so thrilled with her MD degree that she wanted everyone to address her mail to “Dr. Jane Doe and Mr. John Doe.” My wife and I met in grad school. She went on to get a Ph.D. Her mother is so proud that she addresses all of my wife’s letters to Dr. Jane Doe. However, she is also a traditionalist, so when she writes to both of us, she addresses her letters to Mr. and Mrs. John Doe. My wife will quickly tell anyone who asks that she is at least as proud of her Mrs. degree as she is of her Ph.D. -- Mr. John Doe
