Feud between county commission & convention continues to boil; transfers again denied

By Michael Kitch

Inter-Lakes gets $337K refund from LGC for overpayment of health insurance premiums

State found association should not have been overcharging for health insurance in order to fund start-up costs for another insurance product line

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — There was no sign of a thaw in the relationship between the Belknap County Convention and the Belknap County Commission yesterday when the Executive Committee of the convention flatly rejected the commissioner’s requests to transfer funds to address budget overruns.

The commissioners asked to transfer funds from contingency, $52,000 to defray unforeseen expenses in the Corrections Department and another $5,000 to meet an overrun in the expenses of the convention itself.

County Administrator Deborah Shackett described the Corrections Department as “in dire straits” as the number of inmates has swelled to as many as 151, well over the capacity of the jail.

She said that Superintendent Dan Ward has been compelled to place inmates in three other county jails, which have begun to present their bills. At the same time, she see FeUd page 8

CONCORD (AP) — Dan Innis, a Republican and dean of the University of New Hampshire business school, launched his campaign for Congress Wednesday by emphasizing his humble upbringing and outsider status.

Innis, who also owns a Portsmouth inn with his husband, announced his campaign via an online video. Though he’s never run for office before, he said the national landscape is so dire given the growing deficit, national debt and Washington gridlock, he’s determined to do something about it.

“I believe we are a government of the people, by the people. I’m one of the people, and I want to change the discussion in Washington,” he told The Associated Press. “I think we need people to go down there to change Washington, not let Washington change them.”

Innis said his comments were not directed at former Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta, see INNIS page 8

Obama & Boehner trade barbs but hint at compromise WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner offered hints of possible compromise but also traded heated rhetoric Tuesday, a frustratingly inconclusive combination that left the eight-day partial government shutdown firmly in place and the threat of an unprecedented national default drawing closer.

“There’s a crack there,” Republican Boehner said of the impasse in a brief interview near the end of a day of maneuvering at the White House and the Capitol. But he

added that it was not enough to warrant optimism.

Stocks fell significantly — the Dow Jones average by 159 points — as political gridlock endured. And, in the latest in a string of dire warnings, the International Monetary Fund said failure to raise America’s debt limit could lead to default and disrupt worldwide financial markets, raise interest rates and push the U.S economy back into recession.

Republicans “don’t get to demand ransom in exchange for doing their jobs,” Obama said at the White House. “They don’t also

get to say, you know, unless you give me what the voters rejected in the last election, I’m going to cause a recession.”

Even the deaths of U.S. servicemen over the weekend in Afghanistan were grist for the politicians. The Pentagon said that because of the partial shutdown it was unable to pay the customary death benefits to the survivors.

Boehner said Congress had passed and Obama signed legislation last week permitting the payments, adding it was “dissee SHUTDOWN page 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama will nominate Federal Reserve vice chair Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman of the nation’s central bank, the White House said Tuesday. Yellen would be the first woman to head the powerful Fed, taking over at a pivotal time for the economy and the banking industry.

Both Yellen and Bernanke are scheduled to appear with Obama at the White House

on Wednesday for a formal announcement.

Bernanke’s term ends in January, completing a remarkable eight-year tenure in which he helped pull the U.S. economy out of the worst financial crisis and recession since the 1930’s.

Under Bernanke’s leadership, the Fed created extraordinary programs after the financial crisis erupted in 2008. It lent money to banks after credit markets froze, cut its key short-term interest rate to near

zero and bought trillions in bonds to lower long-term borrowing rates.

Those programs are credited with helping save the U.S. banking system.

Yellen emerged as the leading candidate after Lawrence Summers, a former Treasury secretary whom Obama was thought to favor, withdrew from consideration last month in the face of rising opposition.

Yellen, 67, would likely continue steering see FED page 5

WASHINGTON (AP) — A decision by the Obama administration to require that consumers create online accounts before they can browse health overhaul insurance plans appears to have led to many of the glitches that have frustrated customers, independent experts say.

Most e-commerce websites — as well as medicare.gov — are not designed to require those merely browsing to set up accounts. But it’s one of the first steps on healthcare.gov.

Consumers trying to create their accounts multiplied the volume of online transactions that overwhelmed the web-

site last week, causing long waits and exasperation. Many people were stopped by a balky security questions page.

The administration threw in additional computing hardware to handle the volume, and deployed software experts to patch the see OBAMACARE page 3

In Congress, a plan by Senate Democrats to raise the debt limit by $1 trillion to stave off a possible default drew little evidence of support from Republicans.

And a proposal by the House Republicans to create a working group of 20 lawmakers to tackle deficit issues drew a veto threat from the White House, the latest in a string of them as the administration insists the GOP reopen the government and avert default before any negotiations on deficit reduction or the three-year-old health care law can take place.

On a day in which both Obama and Boehner appeared on live television, both men appeared to be giving ground yet yielding little if anything of substance.

At midmorning, Boehner and other Republicans seemed to soften their demands.

“I suspect we can work out a mechanism to raise the debt ceiling while a negotiation is underway,” said Rep. Tom Cole, an Oklahoma Republican who is close to Boehner.

CONCORD (AP) — A special panel considering whether New Hampshire should expand its Medicaid program to poor adults voted Tuesday to recommend doing so, but with a catch.

The board voted 8-1 to recommend that the Legislature meet in special session this fall and authorize the expansion beginning Jan. 1. The expansion could only take place, however, if a requirement is also put in place that poor adults with jobs participate in a program where the state pays to keep them on their employer’s private insurance plan if it’s more costeffective than Medicaid.

Making that program mandatory would require a federal waiver.

Sen. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, proposed that the state get the waiver prior to starting the program.

She said she was confident the state and federal governments would act quickly enough to implement the expansion Jan. 1.

The panel also backed an option for people who are ineligible for the program. It would give them individual assistance to purchase private insurance through the new online markets central to President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law.

Last week, a majority of panel members agreed to recommend expanding Medicaid to add residents under age 65 who earn up to 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines. The majority agreed with the overall idea of expanding Medicaid for those earning about $15,000 a year for a single adult and $32,500 annually for a family of four, while relying as much as possible on private insurance.

The panel voted 6-2 with one member abstaining to approve a draft of a plan based on the votes taken last week and Tuesday. The board meets next week to take a final vote on the report.

NEW YORK (AP) — An off-duty undercover police detective was arrested late Tuesday after investigators said he was shown on video hitting and kicking an SUV when a biker rally spiraled into violence.

Wojciech Braszczok surrendered to face riot and criminal mischief charges, New York Police Department spokesman John McCarthy said.

Braszczok was expected to make a court appearance Wednesday. There was no response to phone messages left with his attorney.

The attorney, Phil Karasyk, had said Monday that the detective, a 10-veteran of the force, had only witnessed other bikers attacking the vehicle. But investigators discovered video evidence showing

Police Community Room should be open again soon

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Laconia Police Community room should be open again within the next two weeks, said Parks and Recreation/Facilities Director Kevin Dunleavy yesterday.

Dunleavy said Controlled Technologies, the company that the city uses for all its heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs, installed a re-heat coil valve in the system on Monday.

“Now all we have to do is replace a few ceiling tiles and have our janitorial service clean the room,” Dunleavy said.

The Community Room has been closed to police and the general public since July, when an air quality test indicated there were some significant humidity-related problems.

The station was built about 10 years ago and the northwest corner of the building is on a cement slab that is near the water table level. Like many other buildings in New England, the extreme high amounts of humidity this past summer, coupled with excessive amounts of rain, contributed to the poor air quality test results and, in some cases, mold problems.

Dunleavy said a few of the ceiling tiles in the room showed some dampness as did the carpet on the floor.

He said the city decided not to replace the carpet with a special type of flooring this year but chose to wait until next spring and summer to see if the problem recurs with the spring rains and summer humidity. He said the city was hoping the work Consee next page

4 men indicted for ‘rioting’ at Belknap County Jail

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Four area men were indicted by a Belknap County grand jury last week for “rioting” for their roles in an assault on a fifth man while all five were incarcerated in the county jail. Rioting is defined by state law as two or more persons assembling for the purpose of engaging in tumultuous or violent conduct.

Jason Fournier, 23, whose last known address was in Meredith; Zackarie Lesko-Lebeau, 22, whose last known address was in Belmont; Andrew Soboleski, 20, whose last known address was in Laconia; and Zacharie Farrell, 21, whose last known address was in Gilmanton are also charged with one count each of assault by prisoners.

All of the new charges are felonies.

According to Superintendent Daniel Ward, all four of the accused and the victim were incarcerated in the same medium security ward at the Belknap County Jail on or about June 7 and all were accused or convicted of a variety of crimes.

According to a Department of Corrections spokesman, Fournier was awaiting trial for theft, Soboleski was awaiting trial for burglary, Farrell was awaiting trial for burglary, and the victim was awaiting trial for armed robbery. He had no record for Lesko-Lebeau meaning he had likely never been sentenced to the N.H. State Prison.

As of yesterday Soboleski is in the N.H. State Prison in Berlin and the victim is in the N.H. State Prison in Concord. Fournier and Farrell are on probation and there is no record of Lesko-Lebeau.

Ward said it appears that on June 7, 2013 the four ganged up on the victim, who he said was not seriously injured. He said guards were able to break up the fight without calling the Sheriff’s Department or the Laconia Police for assistance. from preceding page trolled Technologies did on the HVAC system can control the problem.

Typically, once air temperatures and relative humidity drop in autumn and winter, most dampness issues resolve themselves.

The Community Room is used by the Police Commissioners for their monthly meetings and the Citizen’s Academy and other agencies in the city use it for meeting space. Fortunately, said Dunleavy, there have been other meeting spaces in the city that juggled their schedules to compensate for the Community Room.

Ward said he doesn’t know what triggered the fight and fighting is a rather common occurrence. He said the four alleged aggressors appeared before an internal disciplinary board and all were punished.

He said the victim was relocated to a separate unit for his own safety.

“Our job is to keep them secure and safe until release,” he said, saying the Department of Corrections has zero tolerance for fighting.

He said other inmates just stood around and watched.

“They generally don’t want to get involved,” he said “although they will occasionally call the control room to report the fight.”

He said each mens’ medium security wards houses 16 prisoners.

As of yesterday, Ward said he had 154 men and women incarcerated through Belknap County. He said 25 of the men had to be transferred to different county jails in order to avoid crowding and the ones who were transferred are serving sentences. The jail was built to hold 87 people.

Ward said he doesn’t like to have people who are awaiting trial leave Belknap County because it’s too expensive to transport them to and from the courthouses in Laconia.

FED from page 2 Fed policy in the same direction as Bernanke. A close ally of the chairman, she has been a key architect of the Fed’s efforts under Bernanke to keep interest rates near record lows to support the economy.

As vice chair since 2010, Yellen has helped manage both the Fed’s traditional tool of short-term rates and the unconventional programs it launched to help sustain the economy after the financial crisis erupted in 2008. These include the Fed’s monthly bond purchases and its guidance to investors about the likely direction of rates.

“She’s an excellent choice and I believe she’ll be confirmed by a wide margin,” said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee.

Obama’s choice of Yellen coincides with a key turning point for the Fed. Within the next several months, the Fed is expected to start slowing the pace of its Treasury and mortgage bond purchases if the economy strengthens. The Fed’s purchases have been intended to keep loan rates low to encourage borrowing and spending.

Did Tea Party put U.S. $16.7 trillion in debt?

One way or another, the battle of the budget and the debt ceiling will be over by All Hallows’ Eve. Yet, as one looks deeper, at the irreconcilable conflict behind the present clash, only a roaring optimist would imagine we shall ever know again the tranquility and unity of the Eisenhower-Kennedy years.

Consider the bile dumped upon Tea Party Republicans by Barack Obama, Harry Reid and their camp followers in the national press. What did the Tea Party do to deserve this? Answer: These extremists shut down the U.S. government, they’re holding America hostage, and they’re inflicting terrible suffering on innocent people.

But is this true? Three times in a fortnight, the House has voted to fund every department, agency, and program of the government — except Obamacare. Who, then, is truly shutting down the government?

What we are witnessing here is the unfolding of the Big Lie — the constant repetition of a transparent falsehood — to persuade a pliable public not only to believe it, but to recite it, as in Orwell’s “1984.” Obamacare, we are told, was enacted by Congress, signed by the president, upheld by the Supreme Court, confirmed by Obama’s victory in 2012. To try to defund or reform it amounts to an attempted coup, an overturning of the election results of November. But does not Congress have the power of the purse to fund or defund any program it chooses? Is that not in the Constitution?

And have not the last three years exposed glaring flaws in Obamacare? Have not severely adverse consequences turned up in widespread layoffs and a reversion to part-time help? Did not the Cleveland Clinic say it will have to let 3,000 people go?

Why then is the House’s exercise of its constitutional authority to defund Obamacare, which polls show a majority of Americans favor, such a moral outrage?

This brings us to the underlying conflict.

The Obamacare battle is part of a larger struggle between a party of government and a conservative party that fears America is heading down a road traveled by Greece, Italy and Spain. Now the party of government can surely claim credit for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare. Yet, that same party is also responsible for driving New York City to the brink of bankruptcy in the 1970s and for the disaster that is Detroit today.

That party is also responsible for an unsustainable welfare state where half the U.S. population pays zero income taxes but consumes hun-

dreds of billions yearly in social welfare benefits.

And how are the people who preside over this annual redistribution of America’s wealth faring? Just fine, thank you.

According to the latest data from the Census Bureau, the four counties in the United States with the highest median family income are all in the D.C. area: Arlington, Loudoun and Fairfax County, Va., and Howard County, Md. Maryland’s Montgomery County, just north of D.C., ranks 7. Five of the top ten.

Not bad, eh?

Though 120,000 D.C. residents are on food stamps, the city boasts a median family income higher than all but four states. And D.C. leads the nation in the number of bedroom counties, nine, where the median family income exceeds $100,000.

Big government and the Fat City are one in Barack Obama’s America.

And how does the Tea Party imperil the country? First, they risk taking America over the cliff into default. But that raises a question: Since the Tea Party folks are newcomers to town, who brought America to the edge of this cliff?

What radical added $6 trillion to our national debt in five years? Or did the Tea Party do that?

Almost all now agree that the entitlement programs — Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid — threaten to consume the budget.

Is the Tea Party responsible for this gathering disaster? Was the Tea Party beating the drums for those trillion-dollar wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? Is the Tea Party responsible for our being committed to fighting other countries’ wars and paying other countries’ bills, in perpetuity, through foreign aid?

When the Tea Party says the Fed’s QE3 amounts to printing money and inflating the currency, that it is creating stock market and real estate bubbles certain to burst, and that the dollar’s future as the world’s reserve currency is imperiled, do they not have a point?

These same views are today being echoed by economists and writers, few of whom are ever likely to show up wearing side arms at God and Country Rallies.

And just where did our community-organizer president learn his economics. From Saul Alinksy’s “Rules for Radicals”? From his senate days in Springfield, capital of the state that is the odds-on favorite to be first in the nation to default on its debts?

The Tea Party is feared and detested in Washington because these folks threaten the ideology, the vested interests, and most critical of all, the rice bowls in this city that voted 15-1 for Obama.

LETTERS A rant against raising debt ceiling came from Sen. Obama in ’06 To The Daily Sun, In our spiral to third-world status, we twisted from sequestration (still growing) to shut down in seven months. Will default follow in 17 days?

Other than Denmark, we are the only developed nation on the planet with a debt ceiling. Nothing in our Constitution requires it. No rationale justifies it.

It began as a charade in 1917. As America prepared to enter World War I, it needed financial resources to raise and equip an army. The Wilson Administration proposed selling Liberty Bonds to raise funds; that is, it proposed borrowing money to fight the war.

To comfort skeptical Americans, Congress wrote a debt ceiling into the Second Liberty Bond Act. Its purpose was not to limit spending and borrowing. It was to reassure the public that Congress could control spending even as it approved a credit line.

It was a ruse. There was no need for the law. The Constitution unequivocally gives Congress the power to tax, pay debts and borrow money. Congress perpetuates its absolute “control of the purse strings” through authorization and appropriation processes.

An authorization is a law giving government entities the okay to spend designated amounts for purposes specified in the legislation. No government entity can spend a nickel without Congressional authorization.

An appropriation is an entirely separate law that actually makes money available. Again, a government entity cannot spend a nickel until Congress appropriates the nickel.

It is like a mother telling her child, “You can buy the smartphone. Go ask your father for the money.” If the kid gets the money, mom authorized it; dad appropriated it.

In its nearly century-long existence, the ceiling never significantly curbed spending or borrowing. The reason is straightforward. Raising the debt ceiling is not a policy, spending or borrowing decision (although many would have us think it is all three). It is a mathematical imperative.

While debt ceiling as fiscal restraint has proved useless, it has provided a

near perfect vehicle for Congressional demagogy and grandstanding. Members of Congress could berate debt with impunity. No matter how loudly they wailed and strutted, there was no downside. Congress had to raise the ceiling. The money had been authorized, appropriated and spent.

A near perfect rant came from Senator Barack Obama of Illinois in 2006, when he voted against a raise: “(Raising the debt) is a sign of leadership failure . . . that (government cannot) pay its own bills . . . that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our (recklessness. . . . This) weakens us domestically and internationally. . . . Americans deserve better.”

Of course, there was always a small, but real danger demagogues might command a majority. If that happened, though it seemed farfetched, Congress could stand on principle, vote an ideology and crash the economy. (Who could be that stupid?)

When the debt ceiling became law — America was a bit player in planetary economics. Today, as the Great Recession (2007 – 2009) demonstrated, America plays lead. Its turbo capitalism nearly brought down the world’s economy.

As it stands, the Department of the Treasury has said it will run out of money Oct. 17. Several independent analysts think Nov. 1 is more realistic.

So, what happens to America if it defaults? The best answer is we do not know, but it looks scary, very scary.

In 2011, just by publicly considering it, confidence fell, hiring declined, the recovery stalled, Standard & Poor’s downgraded our credit worthiness and the stock market (Dow Jones) dove 14 percent. (In today’s 15,000point market, 14 percent would be 2,100 points.)

We should anticipate an actual default to be worse than a scare of default on confidence, recovery (perhaps a new recession or worse), our credit rating and the markets. Over time, we might find costs to borrow (nationally and individually) will be elevated for years or decades and our standard of living damaged for a gensee next page

LETTERS Inter-Lakes Indoor Yard Sale will benefit Meredith Food Pantry To The Daily Sun, It’s that time of year again! The Meredith Emergency Food pantry uses its own funds to fill the shelves in preparation for the holidays. It can be a monthly bill of $2,000 for the food pantry. The pantry cannot survive on the account funds alone; it NEEDS donations! There are many, many families in need of assistance and part of being a community is to reach out and support in any way we can. With that being said, the caring educational people of the Inter-Lakes school system would like to assist!

The Inter-Lakes Education Association (I-LEA) and the Inter-Lakes Support Staff Association (I-LSSA) are now planning the 4th annual Indoor Yard Sale. These associations are the teachers and paraeducators of the Inter-Lakes School District.

The food pantry is in need of help; therefore, 100 percent of the money from the yard sale will be donated to the food pantry.

In addition to many donated items there will also be baked goods and specialty baskets for sale.

Please support this yard sale to help families in need as the holidays approach. Let’s all chip in to make this event a successful one! Last year we raised $2000 for the pantry.

The indoor yard sale will be Saturday, October 19. This event will run from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Inter-Lakes Elementary School in the multi-purpose room. The elementary school is located behind the high school (Laker Lane) off Route 25 in Meredith.

Donations for the yard sale may be dropped off Friday, October 18 from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. or the morning of the yard sale on Saturday from 7 to 8 a.m. (no electronics).

If anyone would like to bring a nonperishable item, we will have a collection box that will go to the food pantry after the event. Any questions, feel free to contact Alesia Parks at alesia. parks@interlakes.org.

The Meredith Emergency Food Pantry is located at 147 Main St. and is open for donations Mon. – Fri. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

We have a shutdown because Obama wants to bludgeon GOP To The Daily Sun, The partial government shutdown is President Obama’s political theater, intended to intimidate Republicans into ending their opposition to Obamacare, continued reckless spending, Obama’s job killing policies, and Obama’s appointment of radical leftwingers to key government positions.

Without media hype, most Americans wouldn’t notice the “shutdown”.

To increase the pain and get attention President Obama spent more money to shutdown things never closed before, such as open air monuments like the WWII and Viet Nam Memorials, where he erected barriers and sent more guards to prevent access than normally there.

Republicans passed a bill to fund every part of government except for two minor Obamacare changes to

which Democrats object.

Republicans say big business shouldn’t get a one year delay from Obamacare requirements unless individuals get a delay too. And, Republicans don’t want highly paid (on average double the private sector) senators, congressmen, and their staffs to get 3/4s of their health care premiums paid by taxpayers over and above any normal Obamacare subsidies.

President Obama stated that these Republican changes wouldn’t stop Obamacare, so these aren’t the reason for the shutdown.

There is a partial government shutdown because President Obama believes he can win a political victory and bludgeon Republicans into dropping opposition to anything he wants.

Franklin voters sent strong message but we must stay vigilante To The Daily Sun, Elections are over. Disappointing results. The voters of Franklin sent a strong message, but those who won are too darn pompous to get it! The mayoral race was won by incumbent Ken Marrifield — a mere 50 vote advantage. That number would not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Glenn Morrill campaigned against him for less than a week.

The school board three year term should have been won by Gwen Hall.

The 38 votes for the school board, two year term, were obviously intended for her. Even so she lost the three year seat by only 11 votes.

We move on. Those of you who cared enough to write in the “write-ins” — we need to stay vigilante! Remember, those elected should not be working for you and what is best for all the citizens of Franklin and not a token few.

Two parting thoughts: Is the Constitutional authority given Congress to pay debts also the authority to renege on debts? It would be something if after plunging the planet into depression, destroying our credibility, undermining the dollar, condemning our children to lesser lives and making our homilies to be emulated a joke, the Supreme Court

said Congress did not have suicidal authorities?

Section 4 of the 14th Amendment reads, “The validity of the public debt . . . shall not be questioned.” If the president evokes this provision to pay debt after Congress reneges, what new Constitutional and political crises arise? What new spin deepens the spiral?

Huot Center / science labs / football stadium project complete at $16.8 M

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Huot Regional Technical Education Center renovation/construction project is 99.99 percent complete and is on-time and on-budget, said School District Business Administrator Ed Emond.

The final cost of the project was $16.8 million, of which $850,000 was raised privately — either through personal gifts or through a number of corporate sponsors. An additional $200,000 of in-kind donations helped a capital fundraising campaign exceed exceed its $1 million goal.

Emond said to date, $550,000 of the $850,000 cash pledges has been received. $85,000 was taken in over homecoming weekend, he reported.

In the meantime, all of the contractors have been paid. The “city pays the bills,” Emond said, adding that as money from pledges comes in, it goes to reimburse the city.

Management of the project on the Laconia High School campus was headed by a Joint Building Committee that included members of the School Board and City Council.

The project consisted of building a separate, 32,000-square-foot Huot Center building along Dewey Street, renovating some of the same previously Huot-occupied space (28,000-square-feet) as state-of the art science labs and classrooms now known as the Richard Dearborn Science Center, and building the Bank of New Hampshire Stadium — including Jim Fitzgerald Field, the upper Bobotas field, and a smaller playing field located directly behind the school.

Funding for the project came from a mishmash of combined sources, with $7.125 million coming from State School Building Aid made available through the N.H. Capital Budget in

2012-2013. Another $6.5 million came from a interest-free federal QZAB (Qualified Zone Academy Bond) and $2.375 million was borrowed by the city. Private donations ranged from the $250,000 donated by the Bank of New Hampshire to multiple $500 and $1,000 donations from local residents and businesses.

City Councilor Matt Lahey was the head of the capital campaign that raised the $1 million and said he wanted to thank the taxpayers of Laconia for supporting the Huot Project. As for the individual donors, large and small, Lahey said they made the project possible.

“What really made it special was the in-kind assistance that helped us built the niceties — like the press box and the concession stand,” Lahey said.

He also gave special thanks to Emond and City Councilor Bob Hamel who were constant presences during the construction period.

As for the actual balance sheet presented to the most recent Joint Building Committee, $849,691 was contributed or promised by individuals and corporate sponsors and Emond said an additional $52,000 is anticipated, leaving $101,629 in a cash shortfall, after public funding is included.

On the asset side, the project had $36,629 left over in the contingency fund, a $40,000 balance in the professional services account and estimated Public Service of New Hampshire rebates of $25,000 totaling $101,629.

The fund-raising campaign continues said Lahey.

Emond said that there are three granite steps leading up the stadium still available for inscription at $5,000 each. He said that “once the steps are gone, they’re gone” and this is the last chance for someone to purchase a step.

Meredith picks bypass lane for Chase Road & Rte. 104 intersection upgrade

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — The Board of Selectmen this week unanimously agreed to proceed with a plan to improve safety on Rte. 104 at its intersections with Chase Road and Meredith Center Road proposed by the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (DOT).

Jon Hebert, a design engineer with DOT, presented two options for managing eastbound traffic on Rte. 104 making turns on to Chase Road, the first a dedicated left-turn lane of 300 feet and the second a lane allowing through-traffic to bypass turning vehicles. In addition, the entrance to Chase Road would be reconfigured to ease the flow traffic turning in and out of the road.

Hebert said that adding a left-turn lane could encounter right-of-way issues, which would likely delay the

project, while a bypass lane would be simpler and less expensive to construct. In approving the project, the Selectboard opted for the bypass lane.

At the intersection with Meredith Center Road the eastbound lane of Rte. 104 would be realigned to improve the sight line for motorists turning on to the highway.

The proposal followed a safety audit undertaken by DOT in partnership with the Lakes Region Planning Commission and the town. Hebert expected the project would be put out to bid in September 2014 with work to begin in September 2015. When Selectman Herb Vadney asked if work could be completed before the volume of traffic mounted in the summer, Hebert replied that it was reasonable to expect that work would be completed before July 4.

REFUND from page one amount of the refunds to employees and retiree would vary. Eligible employees still working in the Inter-Lakes District will receive their refunds in this week’s pay check. Retirees and other former employees will receive their refund in a separate check.

The amount of the credit/refund is much larger than the district had originally expected. Temperino told the board that the district anticipated a credit of $94,633 for 2011 insurance premiums and had calculated that when preparing the current budget. However, in June the district was informed that there would be a credit — or so-called premium holiday — for 2010 insurance premiums as well, resulting in an additional credit to the district of $240,264.39.

The credit and refunds are being issued under the terms of a state Bureau of Securities Regulations’ order that the LGC repay $53.4 million to towns and school districts overcharged by the nonprofit organization, which operates self-funded risk pools for health care coverage and workers compensation insurance.

The Bureau of Securities Regulation found the LGC violated state law by improperly collecting money and retaining unnecessary surplus funds.

The organization also improperly transferred assets, subsidizing one insurance pool (workers’ compensation) at the expense of another (health), the bureau said, in order to try and build a new business line.

The organization believes the large reserves kept rates stable for members and reduced long-term costs. Critics, however, said the surplus should have been returned to its members rather that used for other purposes, such as funding the start-up of a workers’ compensation program.

NOTES: The board set Saturday, June 14, 2014 as the date for the Inter-Lakes High School graduation.

The date coincides with the beginning of Motorcycle Week, but the traffic and noise are expected to be much less than the following Saturday when Bike Week crowds typically peak. If snowstorms delay the end of the school year, high school Principal Patti Kennelly recommended the graduation take place on Tuesday, June 17. The graduation ceremonies will take place in Prescott Park, as was the case this year. . . . . . The board approved an online program be used to teach Spanish at Sandwich Central School. Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond said that the school has had problems in recruiting and keeping qualified teachers for the part-time position. She said that school Principal John Hansen hopes to hire a part-time classroom assistant, fluent in Spanish, who would work with the students and augment the on-line instruction, which is provided

by Middlebury College in Vermont. . . . . . Ormond told the board the district’s official enrollment as of Oct. 1 was 1,097 students. She expected that enrollment would remain fairly constant for the next five years. The Inter-Lakes District has 189 fewer students than 10 years ago, Ormond noted. . . . . . The board set March 5 as the date for the annual School District meeting.

PICKLEBALL from page one inches lower. The game is played with a hard paddle and a polymer, smaller version of a whiffle ball.

A pickleball ball typically moves at one-third of the average speed of a tennis ball and the court is just under one-third of the total area of a tennis court. The net is hung at 36 inches on the ends, and 34 inches in the middle. The court is striped like a tennis court, with no alleys; but the outer courts, and not the inner courts, are divided in half by service lines. The inner courts are non-volley zones and extend seven feet from the net on either side.

The ball is served underhand from behind the baseline, diagonally to the opponent’s service zone and points are scored only by the serving team when their serve is not returned or is hit out of bounds.

The winner is the first team or player to reach 11 points and have a two-point lead at that point. ‘’We have pickleball from 6:45 to 10 p.m. on Monday nights and on Thursdays from 8;45 to 11;45 a.m. One of the best things is that the players are really friendly and eager to teach people new to the game how to play,’’ says Lovisek.

She said that equipment and a paddle are available for new players and that the cost is $2 per person for each session of play.

Owner says no underground leaks from tanks at former gas station site on South Main Street

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — After closing the gas station at the corner of South Main Street and Garfield Street, Jeff Pierson, president of Foley Oil Company, said yesterday that he is working with the Department of Environmental Services (DES) to prepare the property for redevelopment.

Contrary to a recent report in The Citizen, Pierson said that there are no failed underground fuel tanks on the site. He explained that in 1993 the existing tanks were replaced in anticipation of stiffer regulations that became effective in 1998. The doublewall tanks, approved and authorized by DES, were equipped with monitoring system that operated 24 hours a day seven days a week and sounded an alarm if the outer wall was breached by groundwater or the inner wall by fuel.

“In 20 years we never had a leak,” Pierson said.

“We have always been in compliance and to this day there is nothing wrong with the tanks in the ground.”

However, Pierson said that when new regulations become effective in 2015 the company would have to invest as much as $100,000 in both tanks and pumps to remain in compliance with state and federal environmental regulations. He said that since sales at the location would not warrant the expenditure he chose to close the station. “This was our choice as a company,” he said.

Pierson said that the company will decommission the station by removing the tanks, along with other material tainted by petroleum products during the approximately 50 years the property has housed a gas station and repair shop. “Quite a bit of material will be removed then replaced with clean fill and paved,” he said, stressing that the company will fund the work, which will be performed to standards set by DES. Meanwhile, DES will remove contaminated materials from an area around the property, including a section of Garfield Street, where several other service stations operated in the past. The project will be financed by the New Hampshire Petroleum Reimbursement Program, which draws on four separate funds accrued from surcharges on the sale of petroleum products.

Pierson said that because Foley Oil Company enjoyed an unbroken record of compliance, DES was authorized to share in the cost of remediating the effects of past fueling operations in the vicinity of the station.

Planning Director Shanna Saunders said that Pierson first approached her about a year ago about redeveloping the property, indicating that he would prefer a use that served the neighborhood. He said that the building will be renovated so it is suitable for rent, but otherwise he has no specific plan for the property other than improving it to do justice to its prominent location.

INNIS from page 2 who also is seeking the Republican nomination in the First District, though he said he would take a different approach than Guinta because he is not a career politician. Guinta, who was twice elected to the state Legislature and served two terms as mayor, represented the district for one term in Washington before being defeated by Democrat Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in 2012.

Innis, 50, grew up in Ohio, where his father sometimes worked two jobs and the family struggled to stay afloat. He was the first in his family to attend college, and began his academic career at Ohio University in 1991 as an assistant professor of marketing. In 2002, he became dean of the University of

Maine’s college of business, public policy and health, and in 2007, was named dean of the Whittemore School of Business and Economics at the University of New Hampshire. He is stepping down from that position Nov. 1 but will remain on the faculty.

“People sort of look at where I am now and they might think, ‘Oh, this guy’s ivory tower,’” he said.

“Far from it.”

Innis said his four priorities in Congress would be controlling spending, shrinking the size of the federal government, reforming the tax system and making smart investments in infrastructure and education. He doesn’t have a specific list of targets, but said Congress must stop lurching from crisis

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

FEUD from page one noted that the cost of transporting inmates to and from facilities for court appearances has strained the budget of the Sheriff’s Department.

Rep. Colette Worsman, who chairs the convention, reminded Shackett that there would be no shortfall if the commissioners had not shuffled funds appropriated by the convention to fund benefits for employees, which the convention struck from its 2013 budget.

Likewise, Worsman questioned the commissioner’s decision to invest $60,000, which was originally appropriated to the Sheriff’s Department but since rendered unnecessary by receipt of a grant, in a timekeeping system. “Another year we will have wasted taxpayers’ money, hard-earned taxpapyers’ money, on something foolish,” she snapped.

Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia), chairman of the Executive Committee, asked if the commission intended to present its plan for the timekeeping system to the convention. “We will definitely tell you what are plans are,” replied John Thomas, chairman of the commission, who explained that the system would enhance efficiency.

Shackett told the Executive Committee that the convention “will overspend its budget with every meeting you have, starting with this one.” She said that the commissioners are bound by law to pay members of convention $25 per day for each meeting they attend.

In refusing to approve the requested transfers, Tilton said that the commissioners failed to provide the Executive Committee sufficient notice. “We’re not going to be acting when you drop it on us like this,” he said. Shackett reminded him that the commissioners requested the $52,000 for the Correc-

tions Department during the budget process and in August advised the convention it would overspend its budget.

Shackett said that she would recommend the commissioners charge the convention’s expenses to the contingency account, which now has a balance of $202,000. She explained that one statute required them to pay the expenses while another forbid them to spend more than was appropriated. At the same time, she said that when other counties submit bills for housing the county’s inmates, she will propose charging them to contingency.

Meanwhile, when the Executive Committee conducted its quarterly review of revenues and expenditures, Worsman again questioned the budgeting of administrative salaries, particularly those of Shackett and Finance Director Glen Waring, which are charged to both the administrative and nursing home budgets.

“Transparency is critical,” she insisted, explaining that is why the convention assigned the salaries entirely to the administrative budget.

“It should be apparent that you got a $26,000 raise over the last four years,” Worsman told Shackett.

“The commission didn’t like the budget we adopted so they found a way around it.”

“That’s absolutely not true,” countered Thomas. “I take exception to that.”

Shackett said that administrative salaries were shared between the two departments to accurately reflect the costs of operating the nursing home and ensure appropriate reimbursement from Medicare and Medicaid. “This is proper accounting according to our auditors,” she added. Shackett said that the salary schedule is a public document, which has not been withheld from either the county convention or the general public.

Franklin Savings Bank Fund honors 9 organizations TILTON — The Franklin Savings Bank Fund for Community Advancement honored nine local organizations who are working to make a difference in their communities at an awards gathering held at the Greenside Restaurant at Lochmere Country Club Tuesday evening.

Jeff Savage, bank president and CEO said that Fund for Community Advancement was formed with a one million dollar investment in 1997 to provide support for substantial projects by non-profit groups that significantly enhance the lives of people in the communities that make up the primary market area of the bank.

He said that fund has been established as a fund within the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation and that the Fund Committee is comprised of members of both the bank’s trustees and management.

Savage said the fund has distributed 146 grants totaling $753,000 in 32 different rounds of grants and distributed over $34,000 in its most recent round.

Savage thanked Rob Steady, bank treasurer, for serving as chairman of the fund since its inception and introduced Mary ‘’Meg’’ Miller, new fund chairman, who said that the grant process is streamlined

to meet the needs of groups seeking assistance and doesn’t require that they hire a grant writer.

Ron Magoon, executive vice president and chief operating officer, said that the fund has contributed to the quality of life on central New Hampshire, helping make it a great place to live and to work.

He announced the award recipients who included: American Red Cross of New Hampshire, represented by Alice Walton, development coordinator.

What’s the best flooring for your lifestyle?

Hardwood or Laminate, Natural Tile or Luxury Vinyl?

(NAPSI)—Anyone can have beautiful, functional floors-once you review your options. For example, you may have your heart set on hardwood, but laminate may be a better option given your lifestyle. Alternatively, you may admire tile floors, but you might be a lot happier with luxury vinyl tile (LVT).

In order to make the right decision, consider three key factors-budget, wearability and maintenance.

• Hardwood floors are a great choice under the right conditions. Nothing compares to the natural beauty, color, intricate graining and depth of shine of a hardwood floor. Not only easy on the eye, hardwood floors tend to be

warm underfoot too. Quality hardwood flooring is a big investment but will last a long time and add real value to your home.

Hardwood is timely and timeless and completely authentic, and it comes in many colors, from nearly white to practically black and various warm shades of brown in between.

Though there are many pluses to hardwood, there are some minuses to consider when deciding whether it’s right for you. Bear in mind, all hardwood is not the same; quality and pricing are big factors. Depending on the species, some hardwood floors can take a great deal of wear and tear and still look good. Others, though beautiful at first, show the signs of wear very quickly. In any case, you have to clean and care for it properly. This includes not using ammonia cleaners, oil soaps or a wet mop; using a professional hardwood floor cleaner to remove scuffs and scratches; and cleaning spills immediately. For these reasons, hardwood might not be the

best fit for every home.

• In some cases, laminate is a great alternative.

Fortunately, for people who really like the look of wood, there’s an excellent-and much less expensive-alternative: laminate flooring. Through highly detailed digitized photography, laminate floors of today duplicate hardwood with tremendous realism that allows for a lower initial cost. What’s more, an inner cork subfloor on some laminate products helps tone down the noise and echoing attributes associated with laminates of yesterday.

Unlike hardwood, a laminate floor will not fade.

Pets can also be a problem for hardwood flooring.

Laminate, on the other hand, offers a durable wear surface that is highly stain, scratch and moisture resistant.

Because of its durability, hygienic nature and ease of installation and maintenance, laminate floors have become a low-cost alternative to hardwood, stone and tile.

• Is your heart set on stone? Natural stone and porcelain tiles are another popular way to pave your floors. They come in all shapes, sizes and colors, glazed or unglazed, and can be used plain, decorated or as part of a mosaic.

Along with its beauty, natural stone flooring will likely increase your home’s resale value, and it only improves with age.

Stone is also popular because every piece of stone is unique so no two floors are alike. Natural stone varies in hardness as no stone floor has a perfectly smooth surface. There is always a possibility that small chips or pits may show up and be more evident in certain kinds of lighting. It’s a good idea to match the flooring with the kind of activities that will be taking place, as soft, porous stone flooring is probably inappropriate for a high-traffic area.

• Is tile the right fit for your family? A properly installed ceramic tile floor will outperform and outlast nearly any other. Glazed ceramic tile and porcelain resist stains, odors and dirt and can be cleaned easily.

Environmentally friendly, ceramic tile is manufactured using natural materials and does not retain odors, allergens or bacteria. It also does not burn

or emit toxic fumes. It can, however, be expensive and difficult to install, and some people find tile cold underfoot.

• Vinyl floors offer many perks. Luxury vinyl tile, which falls in the “resilient” flooring category, may be a flooring you should consider-especially if you’re concerned about pets and kids. Luxury vinyl tile flooring is a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms, as well, because it’s “no wax” and easy to keep clean. It’s durable, affordable, water resistant, easy

to install and doesn’t fade or stain.

LVT flooring comes in many colors, textures and patterns and can imitate wood grain, tile, even marble. Since it also comes in sheets, planks and tiles, there’s lots of room for self-expression. A talented installer can use contrasting sheet vinyl for large patterns. Tiles can be arranged any way you want, from checkerboard to stripes to diagonals.

Plus, LVT are flexible and soft to walk on. They have a cushy “give” underfoot.

Home renovations with fire safety in mind (NAPSI)—When it comes to home renovations, homeowners often value style over safety. That’s the word from experts who say homeowners can increase home safety simply by eliminating electrical hazards that could lead to fire.

Recently, the U.S. Fire Administration reported that in 2011, an estimated 47,700 home structure fires reported to U.S. fire departments involved some type of electrical failure or malfunction as a factor contributing to ignition.

An arc fault circuit interrupter, or AFCI, can provide protection from arc faults that may lead to electrical fires caused by damaged wiring.

Evaluating Electrical Safety In Your Home A good way to start is by taking inventory of the outlets around your home. Take note of any outlets that could benefit from arc fault circuit interrupter, or AFCI, protection.

AFCIs provide protection from arc faults that may lead to electrical fires.

Once only available through the home’s circuit breaker, AFCI receptacles are now an inexpensive and safe alternative for added home protection.

Homeowners should keep an eye out for electrical wiring damaged during installation or afterward, through overstapling, crushing, bending, penetration by screws and nails, and through rodent and insect damage.

Over time, cabling may also degrade further due to exposure to elevated temperatures or humidity, eventually leading to arcing faults and potentially a fire.

www.dogwatchofnh.com

Where Should AFCI Receptacles Be Installed?

The latest National Electrical Code requires AFCI protection in family rooms, dining rooms, living rooms, parlors, libraries, dens, bedrooms, sunrooms, recreation rooms, closets, hallways or similar rooms or areas.

AFCI receptacles can be installed at the first outlet on a circuit to offer protection to all other outlets on that circuit. Arc-fault protection is extremely

How To Protect Your Home Achieving whole-house electrical safety is a difficult task, but recent technological advances in the AFCI receptacle market have produced devices capable of offering added protection from arc faults and providing a cost-effective and easier-to-install option.

“Adding AFCI protection is an important safety upgrade to a home’s electrical system. An outlet branch circuit AFCI receptacle is a convenient way of accomplishing that, giving homeowners peace of mind that each room is protected,” according to Leviton electrical safety expert Bill Grande.

Grande continued, “An AFCI receptacle is designed to detect a wide range of arcing electrical faults to help reduce the likelihood of the electrical system being an ignition source of a fire and is perfect for a remodeling project or new-home construction.”

Small things to make your home more energy efficient

F

or your own comfort now and your profit when the time comes to sell, it pays to get thoroughly acquainted with all the ins and outs of taking care of your new home.

What To Do These tips can help you maximize the safety and efficiency of the place as you make it your own: • Check filters.

Inspect filters in the furnace, air conditioner and range hood and clean or replace as necessary. If the previous owners didn’t leave product manuals behind, search for them online to find the manufacturers’ maintenance recommendations.

• Change lightbulbs.

Consider swapping existing lightbulbs for more energy-efficient models or simply wait for the old ones to burn out and make the change as you go.

Longer-lasting LED lighting offers energy efficiencies.

• Check the water

heater. Experts recommend setting the water heater at 120° F, which is comfortable for most uses and minimizes energy use. To save even more energy, insulate the water heater with an insulating blanket, which can be found at most hardware stores.

• Upgrade the thermostat. Installing a programmable thermostat can save up to 10 percent a year on heating and cooling when you program it to fall back 7 to 10 degrees while you’re away at work. Prices start around $20 for basic

models that most homeowners can install themselves.

With many, you can set the program so your house is already comfortable when you return home.

• Consider window film. Installing window film for sun control can help reduce energy

use and protect furnishings from fading.

For example, 3M Sun Control Window Films can reduce cooling costs by up to 25 percent by rejecting solar heat. They also help block up to 99 percent of harmful UV rays to minimize fading and

are available in varieties that do not change the appearance of the window. This can be a good solution for rooms that get lots of sun exposure or rooms with a patio door access.

Window films can also reduce glare on TV or computer screens.

OBITUARIES

Joyce J. Lund, 70 SANDWICH — Joyce J. Lund, 70, passed peacefully on October 2, 2013, in the comfort of her home and surrounded by her beloved ones. The daughter of the late Rosario (Russ) Prestipino and Giovanna (Jenny) D’Angelico, Joyce was born on March 12, 1943 in Paterson, NJ. Joyce and her former husband, George Strother III, raised their four children in Denville, NJ. Joyce moved to St. Thomas, USVI where she shared the rich culture and beauty of the islands with Phil “Flip” Lund. Joyce and Flip moved next to Center Lovell, ME, embracing the forests and trails of that state. Joyce lived her last years in New Hampshire, in a home designed by her and built by her sons. Joyce brought a tangible feeling of home to every house she lived in. She was a vibrant member of every community she embraced.

The ocean was a sense of joy and peace to Joyce.

She spent much time on the water, scuba diving, teaching water classes, sailing, and later, on the lakes, kayaking. Her love of nature inspired beautiful gardens and outdoor living spaces in all of

her homes. She surrounded herself with handmade beauty, contributing with hand hooked rugs and gorgeous quilts of her own make and design. Above all, Joyce’s grandchildren were a source of great love and pride for her. Her grace and courage, as she neared the end of her life, was a sense of comfort and wonder to all those who surrounded her. She will be missed.

Joyce is survived by her four children: George Strother IV and his wife, Karen; Wendy Perrault and her husband, Brent; Amy Gray and her husband, Brian and Philip Strother and his partner, Ashley Bullard. She is also survived by nine grandchildren: Julia and Michael Strother; Austin and Daniel Perrault; Madyson, Shelby and Brian Gray and Willow and Raven Strother. Lastly, she is survived by her dog Shanti, whom she held so dear.

A celebration of Joyce’s life will be held at her home at 401 Little Pond Road, Center Sandwich, NH on October 19, 2013 at 3 p.m., with an outdoor ceremony beginning at 4 p.m.

Born in Plymouth, N.H. on December 14, 1923, he was the son of Leon Ervin and Myra E. (James) Sherman. Richard grew up in Plymouth and graduated from Plymouth High School, class of 1941.

Dick was always interested in airplanes. He was six years old when he built his first model airplane and in his mid-teens when he learned how to fly at the Plymouth Airport. He received his pilot’s license at the age of sixteen.

On September 14, 1942, Dick and his father went to Boston and enlisted in the US Navy. Dick enlisted in the Aviation Cadet School and received his basic training at Chapel Hill NC., followed a three month course at the Navy Pre-Flight School at the University of North Carolina. After training in at the Naval Reserve Aviation Base in Bunker Hill, Peru, IN, He became a qualified Navy Pilot. He trained in Scout Bombers out of Pensacola, Miami and Daytona airfields and was awarded his Gold Wings as a commissioned 2nd Lieutenant and transferred from the Navy to the Marines.

Dick was sent to El Toro Marine Corps Air Station in California as part of the Marine Aircraft Group 2 of the First Marine Air Wing. After several years of flying combat missions in the South Pacific, he

returned to Cherry Hill, NC, and was separated as a 1st Lieutenant on January 4, 1946. For his service in World War II, he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, Air Medal with 6 Bronze Stars, Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Commendation Ribbon, American Campaign Medal, Asian Pacific Service Medal with 2 Bronze Stars, Victory Medal, and Philippine Liberation Medal with 1 Bronze Star. Dick’s total flight time logged was 938.4 hours.

Upon his return to Plymouth, Dick opened the Riverside Airport, in Ashland, as a flying school and charter flight facility. By the turn of the decade, his airport business has ebbed and Dick was called from inactive duty on March of 1951 as a Captain reporting to Squantum, MA. Dick was predeceased by his wife Ruth Elizabeth (Trull) Sherman in June of 2011.

Dick is survived by his sons, Richard W. Sherman of Andover, MA, Roger L. Sherman of Tewksbury, MA and two grandchildren.

A calling hour will be held in the Mayhew Funeral Home, 12 Langdon St. Plymouth, on Thursday, Oct. 10, from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. A Graveside service will follow in the Riverside Cemetery, Plymouth, at 1:30 p.m. The Rev. Edward J. Charest will officiate.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

tenderness makes you strong.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You will build your assets by focusing on what you do have instead of on what you don’t have. Put your energy into highlighting your best work.

No one has quite your lineup of gifts and talents.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You admire people of action, but today it’s more important to consider the action itself and not just the person who moves on an impulse. As for you, you’re better off thinking things through for another day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Groups are powerful and sometimes not in a good way.

Beware: The dominant forces in the room gain followers precisely because of their dominance, even though their message may be terribly off.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 9). You’ll definitely sing your own song this year, and it all starts with the passionate and creative influence of the next six weeks. There will be pleasure in research, and by November, you’ll apply what you know and make a significant change. December shifts your focus. You’ll move forward with plans for family life in January. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 17, 1, 22, 24 and 38.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Compassion starts at home. It is hard to be kind to others if you haven’t been kind to yourself. With this in mind, take the time to do the things that make you smile.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Negative attitudes are contagious. Avoid the complainers and malcontents lest you become part of their clan. Make a move away from them to assure that you stay self-contained.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whatever you believe about yourself, whether it’s accurate or completely off base, is likely to become true. With that in mind, try this one on for size: You are at the beginning of a cycle of prosperity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your desire to overcome a problem or limitation is admirable, and yet you may be overlooking the main asset of your particular personality makeup.

What if you embraced the flaw instead of trying to change it?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll be in charge in a hands-off kind of way. You’ll be the responsible party and a guide for others without micromanaging their efforts. They can feel that you trust them, and they’ll work to maintain that trust.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t require a lot of external stimuli in your environment. In fact, you do your best work when the sound, light and personality of the room is muted enough to allow your rich inner life to take over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your moral compass is spinning, and you’ll strive to settle the dial in the right direction. You’ll act because you’re driven to do what you think is right, not because you want praise or attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be good news. This could have to do with an inheritance, a happy outcome from applying your personal talent or the acquisition of property. Enjoy this bounty.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Tenderness is the essential ingredient that will make your relationships work. It is the glue that holds your familial bonds and friendships together. It may seem counterintuitive, but

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 9, 2013

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Oct. 9, the 282nd day of 2013. There are 83 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 9, 1813, Giuseppe Verdi, the composer of such classic operas as “Aida,” ‘’La Traviata,” ‘’Rigoletto” and “Il Trovatore,” was born in the Italian village of Le Roncole.

(There is some dispute over Verdi’s date of birth, with numerous sources saying he was actually born on Oct. 10.)

On this date: In 1446, the Korean alphabet, created under the aegis of King Sejong, was first published.

In 1776, a group of Spanish missionaries settled in present-day San Francisco.

In 1888, the public was first admitted to the Washington Monument.

In 1910, a coal dust explosion at the Starkville Mine in Colorado left 56 miners dead.

In 1930, Laura Ingalls became the first woman to fly across the United States as she completed a nine-stop journey from Roosevelt Field, N.Y., to Glendale, Calif.

In 1936, the first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles.

In 1940, rock and roll legend John Lennon was born in Liverpool, England.

In 1946, the Eugene O’Neill drama “The Iceman Cometh” opened at the Martin Beck Theater in New York.

In 1958, Pope Pius XII died at age 82, ending a 19-year papacy. (He was succeeded by Pope John XXIII.) In 1962, Uganda won autonomy from British rule.

In 1974, businessman Oskar Schindler, credited with saving about 1,200 Jews during the Holocaust, died in Frankfurt, West Germany (at his request, he was buried in Jerusalem).

In 1987, author, politician and diplomat Clare Boothe Luce died in Washington at age 84.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, October 9, 2013— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Recently, I was introduced to an older gentleman. He has never been married, but he did have a son through artificial insemination. His son passed away, and he talks all the time about how special he was.

He has a very strong and commanding personality to the point of sometimes being a bit of a bully. It seems like he is always demanding that things be done his way or else.

What bothers me most is that he has a low opinion of women. He’s often said that women should do what they are told and stay home and take care of the house and family. And worse, he’s even said how “dirty” women are in regard to their menstrual cycles, and that is why he has never talked about sex.

He does seem like a good person -- he’s very intelligent and many people like him. He says he loves me, but he says that to everyone. I’m not sure about his intentions and wonder whether I should pursue this relationship or not. -- California Gal Dear California: Run, don’t walk, from this relationship.

This man is not partner material. He may seem intelligent and nice, but he will expect you to be at his beck and call, and he will have little respect for you. And intimacy? Forget it. The most you can expect is a bossy kind of one-sided friendship, and we don’t need a crystal ball to know that he won’t make you happy. Sorry.

Dear Annie: When my neighbors take their annual twoweek vacation, I water their extensive flowers every day and take in their mail. I’ve been doing this for 10 years, and all I ever received was a thank-you and a few daylily transplants.

Recently, I had a severe bout with diverticulitis and was in a lot of pain. I could hardly pick up my own mail, much less theirs. This didn’t make the wife happy. I also need sur-

gery and asked whether she would take my terrier, and she refused. She’s taken care of other people’s dogs, so I don’t understand this.

I know she will want me to water all of her plants next year, but I don’t think I will, considering she won’t help me in my time of need. I feel used. My dog is 16 years old and healthy, but I worry he won’t survive in a kennel for five days. My handyman is willing to take care of my dog, but he wants $90 per day to come and let him out three times a day. What would you do? -- Hurt and Worried Dear Hurt: We assume your dog is as easy to care for as you claim. If so, your handyman is overcharging you. Most dog-sitters charge between $15 and $30 per day. If someone has to come multiple times, they may charge $15 per visit, but it still doesn’t add up to $90 a day. Make sure he didn’t mean $90 for all five days, which would be more than reasonable. You can find reliable pet-sitters online or get a referral from your veterinarian’s office. And if you are not able or willing to take care of your neighbors’ mail and flowers, so be it. It is a kindness, not an obligation.

Dear Annie: This is for “Leave Us Alone,” who is getting pressure from their families about having children.

My wife and I were married at 26 and had our children when we were in our 30s. We spent the first six years of our marriage establishing our careers, beginning our savings, buying our home and taking some great vacations that involved lots of camping and low-cost motels.

Reflecting back, I think those years provided a solid foundation for our now 38-year marriage by giving us the experience of working together as a team, providing mutual support to each other as we tackled the challenges of building our careers and sharing our lives. -- Still Going Strong
