LACONIA — There are indications of positive economic signs evident in Laconia, City Manager Scott Myers told the City Council last night. Building activity, motor vehicle sales and property tax collection are all encouraging trends that Myers reported. Myers said that from April 1 to Aug. 31 the city issued building permits for construction that, all told, is expected to add $12.5 million to the city’s property tax see CITY page 8

MOULTONBOROUGH — Following a public hearing before an overflow crowd of nearly 100 people at Town Hall Yesterday, the Board of Selectmen voted unanimously not to remove Josh Bartlett from the Planning Board and without dissent agreed to abandon similar proceedings against his colleague Judy Ryerson. “I’m incredibly gratified by the public support I’ve received,” said Bartlett, “including from people I’ve had some pretty serious disagreements with.” Ryerson, who had prepared a lengthy statement in her defense, said “I’m very
to have my say.” The hearings, at which the Town Administrator Carter Terenzini and the selectmen were frequently the target of catcalls and heckling, marked a lull, if not the end, Josh Bartlett of a controversy that (Michael Kitch photo) has roiled the town for the past six weeks. Ever since Terenzini and Town Counsel Peter Minkow offered
for “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.” The charges stem primarily from the conduct of the two on July 10, when the Planning Board approved construction of an observation tower by Bob and Cathy Williams, doing business as Bear’s Nest Trail, LLC, on Red Hill, which was built without the requisite permits. To approve the project, the board was required to find that it satisfied 11 criteria. The minutes record that the seven members of the board were “polled” on the 11 criteria. Two of the 11 see M’BOROUGH page 14

About 300 paddlers maneuver in tight quarters off Weirs Beach on Saturday morning as the N.H. Lakes’ LakeFest event begins to take shape. The goal was to break the world record for most paddle-powered craft “rafting” up in one location. The number of boats on Lake Winnipesaukee fell far short of the record of just under 2,000 but the shortcoming failed to dampen the spirits of participants from all over the state and beyond.

2 big N.H. hospitals & insurance co. coming up with own plan
CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire employers shopping for health insurance will have a new option in December thanks to a new partnership among the state’s two largest health systems and one if its major insurers. Officials with Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Elliot Health System and Harvard Pilgrim Health Care of New England on Monday announced the creation of ElevateHealth, which will feature a smaller network of providers than Harvard Pilgrim’s current network for employer-sponsored plans but premiums that are at least 10 percent lower. Officials cast their collaboration as a departure from current health care delivery and payment models that reward volume instead of value and said their focus on care coordination — helping patients navigate the system more efficiently — will improve outcomes. “There’s a lot of debate around health care, and I think we’re all resolved to be part of the solution,” said Doug see HEALTH page 23

Plan emerges to have Syria dispose of chemical weapons WASHINGTON (AP) — In a rapid and remarkable chain of events, Syria welcomed the idea of turning over all of its chemical weapons for destruction on Monday, and President Barack Obama, though expressing deep skepticism, declared it a “potentially positive development” that could head off the threats of U.S. air strikes that have set the world on edge. The administration pressed ahead in its efforts to persuade Congress to authorize a military strike, and Obama said the day’s developments were doubtless due in part
to the “credible possibility” of that action. He stuck to his plan to address the nation Tuesday night, while the Senate Democratic leader postponed a vote on authorization. The sudden developments broke into the open when Russia’s foreign minister, seizing on what appeared at the time to be an off-the-cuff remark by Secretary of State John Kerry, appeared in Moscow alongside his Syrian counterpart and proposed the chemical weapons turnover and destruction. The Syrian quickly embraced the idea, and before long U.N. Secretary-Gen-
eral Ban Ki-moon did, too. Obama, who appeared Monday evening in interviews on six TV networks, said the idea actually had been broached in his 20-minute meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week on the sidelines of an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Obama said he directed Kerry to have more conversations with the Russians and “run this to ground.” The president said he would “absolutely” halt a U.S. military strike if Syria’s see SYRIA page 9
WASHINGTON (AP) — Battling stiff resistance in Congress, President Barack Obama conceded Monday night he might lose his fight for congressional support of a military strike against Syria, and declined to say what he would do if lawmakers reject his call to back retaliation for a chemical weapons attack last month. The president made his comments as a glimmer of a possible diplomatic solution
appeared after months of defiance from the Russian-backed government of President Bashar Assad in Syria. In a rapid response, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cited “international discussions” in unexpectedly postponing a test vote originally set for Wednesday on Obama’s call for legislation backing a military strike. In a series of six network interviews planned as part of a furious lobbying cam-
paign in Congress, Obama said statements suggesting that Syria might agree to surrender control of its chemical weapons stockpile were a potentially positive development. At the same time, he said they were yet another reason for lawmakers to give him the backing he is seeking. “If we don’t maintain and move forward see OBAMA page 23

Zimmerman’s wife says he threatened her with gun but she won’t press charges LAKE MARY, Fla. (AP) — The sobbing wife of George Zimmerman called 911 Monday to report that her estranged husband was threatening her with a gun and had punched her father in the nose, but hours later decided not to press charges against the man acquitted of all charges for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin.

Lake Mary police officers were still investigating the encounter as a domestic dispute, but no charges had been filed Monday afternoon. Shellie Zimmerman left the house after being questioned by police. George Zimmerman remained there into early evening and his attorney denied any wrongdoing by his client. He
was not arrested. Shellie Zimmerman, who has filed for divorce, initially told a 911 dispatcher that her husband had his hand on his gun as he sat in his car outside the home she was at with her father. She said she was scared because she wasn’t sure what Zimmerman see ZIMMERMAN page 4

5-year-old who wandered away from Gilmanton home found 3 miles away By Gail OBer
GILMANTON — A 5-year-old Brookline, N.H. girl is back in the safe arms of her family after she wandered away from a home here that her parents were visiting Sunday afternoon and a number of family, friends and public safety officials, spent the next seven hours looking for her. She was found hiding in a barn in Loudon, several miles away. Police Chief Joe Collins said the child strayed from Rollins Pond Road shortly after 12:30 p.m. He said her family was visiting friends and all of them looked for her briefly before but notified police at 12:43 p.m. “It was a terrifying seven hours,” said Collins who said his officers, officers from the N.H. Department of Fish and Game, the State Police, the Gilmanton Fire Department and numerous friends and family began looking for her. He said a team of K-9’s from the New England Canine Search Team had just arrived when 10 or 12 volunteers from a farm on Blake Road in Loudon found the child hiding in their
barn. Officials estimate she walked about 3 miles. “She was smart to try and seek shelter,” Collins said, noting that the temperatures dropped into the 30s Sunday night. He said after police learned she was safe, he drove to the Blake Road farm to bring her back to Gilmanton. After he strapped her into the back seat of his cruiser he said she looked at him and said, “You know I’m supposed to be in a car seat.” He said he told her he didn’t think Mommy would mind this one time but said she reminded him two more times as they were returning to Gilmanton. “I guess she didn’t want me to get in any trouble,” Collins said, describing her a “cute as a button.” Collins said the family did the right thing by calling them right away. He said the sooner authorities learn of a missing child the sooner they can muster the resources they will need to find him or her. “I’m just grateful we got a happy ending,” describing the reunion as “quite an emotional thing.”
ZIMMERMAN from page 2 was capable of doing. Hours later she changed her story and said she never saw a firearm, said Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell. For the time being, “domestic violence can’t be invoked because she has changed her story and says she didn’t see a firearm,” Bracknell said. On the 911 call, Shellie Zimmerman is sobbing and repeating “Oh my God” as she talks to a police dispatcher. She yells at her father to get inside the house, saying Zimmerman may start shooting at them. “He’s threatening all of us with a firearm ... He punched my dad in the nose,” Shellie Zimmerman said on the call. “I don’t know what he’s capable of. I’m really scared.” She also said he grabbed an iPad from her hand and smashed it. Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara, said his client never threatened his estranged wife and her father
with a gun and never punched his father-in-law. Shellie Zimmerman had collected most of her belongings Saturday from the house, which is owned by her parents, where she and George had both been staying there until she moved out. She had returned unexpectedly Monday to gather the remaining items. Emotions got out of control, but neither side is filing charges against the other, O’Mara said. “I know the 911 tape suggests that Shellie was saying something but I think that was heightened emotions,” O’Mara said. “There may have been some pushing and touching. That happens a lot in divorce situations ... Nobody was injured.” Her father also declined to press charges, the police chief said. Prosecutors could still build a case based on surveillance video from cameras outside the house and also video from the squad cars of officers who responded. see next page

Barnstead woman run over in her driveway BARNSTEAD — A Pittsfield woman has been charged with driving after suspension and driving with a suspended registration after she allegedly backed over a Rabbot Lane woman. Police said they were called to Rabbot Lane and found the victim lying in her driveway and Sierra Rollins, 27, of Pittsfield standing next to a Toyota Camry. Barnstead Fire officials requested a helicopter from Dartmouth Hitchcock
Hospital in Lebanon be sent to the scene and the victim was flown there for treatment. As of 11:45 a.m. yesterday, the victim was alive said Barnstead Police. Rollins was released on personal recognizance bail and ordered to appear in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division on October 17. Police continue to investigate and say additional charges could be forthcoming. — Gail Ober
Danbury man charged with Gilmanton burglary, held on $10,000 cash bail GILMANTON — A Danbury man police said allegedly burglarized a home on Major Road on September 5 is being held on $10,000 cash-only bail following his video appearance in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division yesterday. Police said Corey Cole, 22, of Drake Hill Road allegedly confessed to Danbury Police Chief David Kratz that he broke into the Gilmanton home and that he knows at least one of the people who live there. He is charged with one felony count of burglary. Police Chief Joe Collins said he responded to Major Road Thursday, September 5 at 12:51 p.m. when an alarm sounded. He said the alarm was off when he got there and no one was home. He said he walked around the house and noticed a small window that was open in the rear of the house. He said he checked the doors, which were all locked, but found the overhead garage door was unlocked. When Collins opened it, the alarm went off again. At 1:38 p.m. the homeowner reported a Stihl chainsaw had been stolen during the burglary. Collins said it appears that Cole was bringing stuff from the house to the garage
door but was scared off by the alarm. Collins said they found the chainsaw at Fast Cash in Tilton and said it was sold to them by a female friend of Cole. On September 6, Cole turned himself into the Danbury Police. In court yesterday, Prosecutor David Estes said Cole has an extensive criminal background and is currently out on bail from Merrimack County and is facing two counts of theft. In addition, Estes said Cole failed to appear at a hearing in the 5th Circuit Court, Newport Division. Estes also said Cole has two bailjumping convictions — one in Franklin and one in Laconia — as well as multiple convictions on theft-related charges in Plymouth, Franklin and Laconia courts. His attorney argued for personal recognizance bail said Cole’s failure to appear in Newport was “an honest mistake” regarding scheduling. She also said he agrees he needs help with addiction and is willing to go to a residential treatment facility. She said his mother has agreed to give him a place to live and that he is working part-time. — Gail Ober
from preceding page Florida law allows police officers to arrest someone for domestic violence without the consent of the victim. Police spokesman Zach Hudson said the estranged husband and wife were blaming each other for being the aggressor and that police officers were
sorting through their accounts. Shellie Zimmerman in her divorce filing last week said she and her husband had separated a month after he was acquitted of any crime for fatally shooting the 17-year-old Martin in Sanford, not far from where Monday’s investigation happened.

America says ‘no’ to Beltway-driven war Last week, hell came to the tiny Christian village of Maaloula where they still speak Aramaic, the language of Jesus. “Rebels of the Free Syrian Army launched an assault aided by a suicide bomber from Jabhat al-Nusra,” the al-Qaida-linked Islamic terrorist group, writes the Washington Post. The AP picked up the story: One resident said bearded rebels shouting “God is great!” attacked Christian homes and churches. “They shot and killed people. ... I saw three bodies lying in the middle of a street.” Maaloula is now a “ghost town.” Christians left behind were told, “Either you convert to Islam or you will be beheaded.” “Where is President Obama?” wailed a refugee. And, indeed, where is Obama? He is out lobbying Congress for authority to attack the Syrian army that defended Maaloula as John McCain beats the drums for a Senate resolution to have the U.S. military “change the momentum” of the war to the rebels who terrorized the convent nuns of Maaloula. If we strike Syria and break its army, what happens to 2 million Syrian Christians? Does anyone care? Do the Saudis who have signed on to Obama’s war — but decline to fight — care? Conversion to Christianity is a capital offense in Riyadh. Do the Turks, who look the other way as jihadist killers cross their frontier to set up al-Qaida sanctuaries in northern Syria, care? Do the Israelis, who have instructed AIPAC to get Congress back in line behind a war Americans do not want to fight, care about those 100,000 dead Syrians and 400 gassed children? Here is Alon Pinkas, Israel’s former general consul in New York, giving Israel’s view of the Syrian bloodletting: “Let them both bleed, hemorrhage to death. That’s the strategic thinking here.” According to two polls reported this weekend by the Jerusalem Post, Israelis by 7-1 do not want Israel to go to war with Syria. But two-thirds of Israelis favor the United States going to war with Syria. Peggy Noonan writes that the debate on war on Syria “looks like a fight between the country and Washington.” She nails it. The Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and Weekly Standard are all up for air strikes. In the think tanks of D.C., the corridor talk is all about “On to Teheran!” But what of the soldiers who will fight the neocons’ war? Major General Robert Scales speaks for our next generation of wounded warriors. Our fighting men, Scales writes, “are tired of wannabe soldiers who remain enamored of bloodless machine warfare ... Today’s soldiers know war and resent civilian policymakers who
want the military to fight a war that neither they nor their loved ones will experience firsthand.” Enthusiasm for war is likely higher at Cafe Milano in Georgetown than in the mess hall at Camp LeJeune. Why is opposition to the war surging? Because the case for war is crumbling. U.S. credibility is on the line, we are warned. If we do not attack Syria to punish a violation of Obama’s “red line,” no one will believe us again. Our allies will no longer have confidence that America will come over and fight their next war for them. Yet George Bush blustered in his “axis-of-evil” State of the Union that “the world’s worst dictators” would not be allowed to get “the world’s worst weapons.” And Kim Jong Il went out and tested an atom bomb and built an arsenal of nuclear weapons. And what did The Decider do? Nothing. Did our alliances collapse because “W’s” bluff was called? Should Congress really authorize a war on Syria because Hillary Clinton and Obama said “Assad must go!” and Obama said his “red line” has been crossed? Or should Congress use this vote as a teaching tool for Baby Boomer Bismarcks by declaring: “We are not taking our country to war because you blundered in issuing ultimata you had no authority to issue. Rather than go to war, you should admit your mistake, as real leaders do, and take responsibility.” How many Syrians should we kill to restore the credibility of Barack Obama? How many Syrians should we kill to impress upon Iran how resolute we are? How many Syrians should we kill to reassure nervous allies that Uncle Sam will forever come fight their wars for them? In America, before we put a man to death, we prove him guilty of murder “beyond a reasonable doubt.” Should we not set as high a standard of proof before we kill a thousand Syrians and plunge the United States into another war? Where is the evidence Assad ordered a gas attack? German intelligence says it intercepted orders from Assad not to use gas. Congressmen coming out of secret briefings say the case is inconclusive. The American people do not want war on Syria, and such a war makes no sense. Who is trying to stampede Congress into war on Syria, and then on Iran — and why? Therein lies the real question. (Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan has been a senior advisor to three presidents, twice a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination and the presidential nominee of the Reform Party in 2000. He won the New Hampshire Republican Primary in 1996.)
LETTERS We have biggest guns so we determine what is right or wrong To The Daily Sun, We are asked to approve the use of lethal force against Syria as a punishment for the death of civilians by deadly gas. First of all, our own hands are hardly innocent in the use of gas in warfare hearkening back to the Vietnam war. And, are we also one of the countries that sold gas to Iraqi during their war with Iran? In this country we manufactured a device to release poisonous gas from its container. Donald Rumsfeld delivered this devise to Iraqi leaders, and showed them how to use it! This is a fact! Warmongers in Washington are quick and eager to recommend war on middle-eastern countries. Is this an reenactment of the tragic war with Iraq where a half-million Iraqis died. It certainly has all the same motives and emotional reactions that proceed the use of bombing attacks in the past! Has anyone, anyone, anywhere con-
sidered the legal aspects of this action. Our own Constitution forbids us from declaring war on another nation. If we bomb Syria it is, in fact, illegal. It is outside of our own legal system and International Law. Death by illegal means — as defined by the dictionary is murder. The United States has repeatedly in the past, defied international law and committed crimes with impunity and disregard for international opinion. We have the biggest guns: therefore we determine what is right or wrong. As a nation with deep and traditional religious beliefs, offering our full support to help alleviate the humanitarian crisis created by this prolonged war — affecting a million refugees, should be are sole endeavor at this critical time. This is what we are called to do! Violence begets violence! Work for peace, before it is too late! Leon R. Albushies Gilford

LETTERS City Council needs to investigate selling of concession stand rights
There are hundreds of examples of voter fraud chronicled on web
To The Daily Sun, I am writing as a member of the Laconia Kiwanis Club as well as a taxpayer in the city. I am outraged by the events that have taken place regarding the concession stand at the high school’s new athletic field. It appears that a behind the scenes deal was made with Laconia Youth Football by the school department represented by Bob Champlin and Matt Lahey in an effort to obtain a “donation”. This so-called donation gave the right to preferential treatment to Laconia Youth Football with regard to use of the concession stand during high school football games. The Laconia High School Key Club had been using the concession stand for over 60 years and was ousted arbitrarily by the athletic director without notice to them or the School Board. The Key Club had been notified, as Mr. Roy states, that their use was not likely earlier this year. (It is interesting that Mr. Roy knew this and the School Board did not.) That is when the Laconia Kiwanis Club began a dialogue with Mr. Champlin and later Mr. Cormier, School Board chairman. We were assured that “no decision has been made” and that there was to be a process and that we would be part of that process. No such process took place and no one apparently had the
To The Daily Sun, This is in response to Kaelen Caggiula’s letter in the August 29 Sun: It isn’t up to me to disprove the claims of Mr. Hoyt about Republican voter fraud. There’s no way I can because all he did was make a broad sweeping accusation with absolutely no details. How can I refute them if I don’t know which ones he’s talking about? He made the accusations, let him prove them. My response to him leveled the same accusations, but those committed by Democrats. My intent was to show that to make such unverified accusations is any easy thing, but to prove them is not... unless there is proof. I did not think I needed to detail them as this was more of an object lesson. However, I will oblige you and list a few of the known cases of election fraud, voter fraud, and voter intimidation perpetrated on the behalf of Democrats: On November 6, 2012, election officials in Philadelphia’s 20th Ward, 1st Division attempted to prevent court-appointed Republican minority inspectors from doing their job to monitor elections. One election official, a Democrat, went so far to say “I do not care what the law says.” (Western Center for Journalism) Three people were indicted for election fraud in Flordell Hills, MO (near St. Louis) related to the April 2nd elections for mayor and alderman. Two of the three tried to file fraudulent candidate paperwork using false addresses with the help of the third person. The fraud was uncovered when the St. Louis County election board found discrepancies in absentee voter registrations. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Note: I looked deeper into this one and found the two alleged perpetrators were registered as Democrats.
decency to let anyone know. Shorty before the first football game, the Key Club was given alternative dates and how this was decided is still a mystery. The events they were given will not be anywhere as lucrative as the football games. This is not a process! Let’s be clear, the Key Club is a school organization that raises funds for charitable purposes. Operating the concession stand provided them with 80 percent of their funds. Laconia Youth Football is a private nonprofit that benefits children in several communities, not just Laconia. And furthermore, Laconia Youth Football uses the concession stand at their own football games. Isn’t that enough? A donation does not carry strings or demands. In my opinion, a donation with strings is improper. The previous concession stand belonged to the city, how is it donated by Laconia Youth Football as an equipment shed? I call upon the mayor, City Council and the city manager to investigate this immediately. Furthermore, I request that a procedure be established regarding contributions made to city property that addresses the ethics of future preferential treatment by the city to the donated party.

Attend public hearing on Northern Pass in Plymouth on Sept. 24 To The Daily Sun, For three years, the State of New Hampshire has been dealing with the prospect of Northern Pass, a high voltage power line project from Hydro Quebec, slicing down the center of our state right through some of our most beautiful tourism-dependent areas including the White Mountain National Forest, the Appalachian Hiking Trail and paralleling and crossing I-93 for miles, one of the most scenic highways in the world. A new study by the Appalachian Mountain Club says the towers for the Northern Pass project would “visually impact” about 95,000 acres in the state. That includes about 3,000 acres in the White Mountain National Forest and 9,000 acres around Concord. If Northern Pass is approved, the State of New Hampshire will be changed forever. This month the Department of
Energy will be conducting Environmental Impact Hearings to register citizen’s views on Northern Pass. Hearings will be held in Concord on 9/23, Plymouth, 9/24, Whitefield 9/25, and West Stewartstown 9/26. Fight northern pass.org has the times and locations. The DOE’s concern is, Will Northern Pass meet the public’s benefit? Now, more than ever, people need to enumerate all the many ways in which Northern Pass fails to benefit New Hampshire. Mark your calendar for these important meetings. If you love New Hampshire, if you want to protect it from a greedy, for-profit, foreign-based multi-national corporation that wants to exploit NH for an unnecessary project, be there and be counted.

People of Alton need to pay attention to workforce housing issue To The Daily Sun, On September 4th we attended the Zoning Amendment Committee meeting at the Town Hall and the subject was workforce housing. It was a very eye-opening meeting which provided the committee as well as the attendees a lot of food for thought. Some of the language in the multiple handouts is very ambiguous and raised a number of unanswered questions. The Alton representatives asked some very insightful questions and had difficulty determining concrete answers to many of the points. A subsequent meeting has been scheduled this
month to further discuss the issue and to get clarification from consultant Steve Whitman of Jeffrey H. Taylor & Associates and Alton’s Town Planner Ken McWilliams. There was a significant turnout of interested Alton residents. We urge the people of Alton to attend the follow-up meetings on workforce housing in order to have a full understanding of what will appear on the next ballot and know the long-term consequences of passing such an amendment.

A former resident of Brownsville, Texas was accused of voter fraud during the 2012 Democratic primary runoff for the U.S. House of Representatives. The federal indictment cites that alleged perpetrator cast five absentee ballots under the names of different people in Cameron County in July 2012. (mySA – San Antonio Express News) I found those three in less than a minute of searching the web. They were all on the first page of a Bing search I performed. There were hundreds of other incidents listed on the subsequent pages. I could go on and list many more, but I doubt the Sun would have room to fit them. I leave to you to follow up if you so desire. By the way, I didn’t find a single incident of GOP fraud in the few pages I perused, but then that wasn’t the intent of the search. If you wish to pursue that line of inquiry, be my guest. You bring up a couple of proposed bills in North Carolina that might affect voter registration which directly contradicts Mr. Hoyt’s statements that they were already in effect and denying people their right to vote. The bills you mention are unlikely to make it through the legislature in the form they were proposed. (There are constitutional issues with both of them that must be resolved. If no changes are made I have a feeling they will be overturned in court on those constitutional issues.) In the few letters to the editors I have written, I have not made a single allegation or accusation that I could not back up with facts, and none of those facts came from Fox News or Rush or Beck or any of the other usual suspects so often decried by the left.

How about spending some of that foreign aid money in the USA? To The Daily Sun, When is the media going to do a TV special about the foreign aid, which totaled $53.3 billion in 2012? Also just read in 9/16 edition of Time magazine, the Off The Grid article, that Obama announced his Power African initiative, which promises more than $7 billion over the next five years for this
project. Where the hell is he finding this kind of money to send out of the USA? People need jobs, food and a place to live in the USA. How about spending some of that money in the USA where it belongs? Bill Whalen Sanbornton

HEROIN from page one served sentences in the Belknap County House of Corrections or the N.H. State Prison. As of Friday, Mikkelson and Marando were listed as people who are scheduled to testify against Gonzales for the state. In a motion filed last week by Gonzales’s attorney Mark Sisti and argued last Friday, Sisti asked the court to dismiss both charges against his client because he recently learned the Laconia Police were investigating a different person who claimed on Facebook that he was the one who actually administered the heroin to Denty. Sisti said the information from the new investigation could exonerate his client but was withheld from him until August 29. He said the investigation by Laconia Police began in March and the County Attorney’s Office was aware of it in July but chose to tell him about it less than one week before jury selection. After listening to both sides, Judge James O’Neill ordered on Friday that jury selection would continue as planned. He agreed to give Asst. County Atty. Carley Ahern until yesterday to answer Sisti’s motions. O’Neill heard additional arguments yesterday but has not ruled on the final motion to dismiss the sales of heroin charge. Gonzales has one Texas conviction for selling drugs. Earlier this year, a jury found him not guilty of selling drugs in an unrelated case to a Laconia Police confidential informant. That trial lasted three days and the jury rendered their not guilty verdict in less than an hour. CITY from page one base, compared to $6.2 million in new building value over the same peiord last year and $7.5 million in 2011. The manager said that a majority of the $12.5 million was associated with two projects: $6 million for the Walmart expansion on the Laconia/Gilford line and $1 million for a new auto parts store being built at Court and Fair streets. He also reported a noticeable up-tick in motor vehicle sales. “(Local) auto dealers are seeing the best sales in several years,” he said. Both private individuals and businesses modernizing their fleets were contributing to the higher volume of sales, he added. Laconia’s current budget projects the city will take in just over $2 million from motor vehicle registrations. Vehicles that have been registered since the beginning of the fiscal year on July 1 have resulted in $374,482 in revenue. An increase in the number of new vehicles registered means more revenue because the registration fee is based on a vehicle’s model year and its original factory list price. Myers also reported that property tax collections are running at 95.38 percent for the 2013 first-half collection, which he called the highest collection level in recent years. In other business, Myers reported that the public’s response to the city’s new mandatory recycling program continues to be generally good, but more progress is needed. He told the council that the amount of recyclables that are being picked up curbside every other week now amounts to about 23 percent of the total trash haul for a two week period. He hoped that the level of participation would increase in the coming weeks. The council approved funds for improvements to municipal facilities. It unanimously approved an $850,000 bond issue to fund replacing the surface of the Smith Track at Opechee Park and for construction at the Weirs Community Park. The work on the Weirs park is expected to cost $550,000, while the Smith Track project has a price tag of $300,000. The council also approved spending up to $80,000 to reshingle the roofs on City Hall and the Leavitt Park and Tardif Park clubhouses, as well as to remove lead paint and repaint the Leavitt Park Clubhouse. The council rejected a suggestion that metal roofs be installed on the three buildings because that would have added more than $42,000 to the cost. NOTES: The council unanimously approved making the intersection of Washington and School streets in Lakeport a 4-way stop. Washington Street see next page

SYRIA from page 2 stockpiles were successfully secured, though he remained skeptical about Assad’s willingness to carry out the steps needed. “My objective here has always been to deal with a very specific problem,” Obama said in an interview with ABC News. “If we can do that without a military strike, that is overwhelmingly my preference.” He cast Russia’s proposal as a direct result of the pressure being felt by Syria because of the threat of a U.S. strike and warned that he would not allow the idea to be used as a stalling tactic. “I don’t think that we would have gotten to this point unless we had maintained a credible possibility of a military strike, and I don’t think now is the time for us to let up on that,” he said. Still, the White House has had scant success in persuading members of Congress — including Democrats — to support the idea of military action. Senators continued to announce their opposition through the day. The proposal from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov came just hours after Kerry told reporters in London that Assad could avoid a U.S. attack and resolve the crisis surrounding the use of chemical weapons by surrendering control of “every single bit” of his arsenal to the international community by the end of the week. The State Department sought to tamp down the potential impact of Kerry’s comments by calling them a “rhetorical” response to a hypothetical question and not “a proposal.” But
their importance became more clear as the day progressed. Kerry spoke by phone with Lavrov shortly after making his comments in London, and officials familiar with the call said Lavrov had told Kerry that he had seen the remarks and would be issuing a public statement. Kerry told Lavrov that his comments were not a proposal but the U.S. would be willing to review a serious plan, the officials said. They stressed that he made clear that Lavrov could not present the idea as a joint U.S.-Russian proposal. The officials commented only on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to describe the information publicly. British Prime Minister David Cameron said the proposal was worth exploring, the French foreign ministry said it deserved close examination and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said any move by Syria to surrender its chemical weapons would be an “important step.” Clinton, in contrast with the White House and State Department, credited Kerry and Russia jointly for the proposal. Obama still faces a decidedly uphill fight to win congressional authorization for the use of force — and serious doubts by the American public — and Monday’s developments, planned or not, could provide him with a way out of a messy political and foreign policy bind. The U.S. accuses Assad’s government of being behind an attack using sarin gas in a Damascus suburb on Aug. 21, killing 1,429 people.
from preceding page resident Greg Elliott, in pressing for the change, said making traffic approaching from all directions stop before entering the intersection was necessary in view of the number of children living in the neighborhood as well as those using the playing fields at nearby Leavitt Park. “We’re just looking to save a life,” said Elliott. . . . . . City Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5) asked if there were steps the city could take to encourage owners of deteriorating buildings to take advantage of a tax incentive program which allows the city to abate a portion of their property tax in return for building improvements. Myers said the program applies to buildings in downtowns and village centers and that the improvements need to contribute the public good. Myers said he would
look at the program in greater detail and report back to the council. . . . . . Myers reported that he had named Ken Malone to the board of the Laconia Housing Authority. Malone, a certified public accountant, will fill the 13 months remaining in the term of Ruth Stuart, who recently resigned. . . . . . Mayor Mike Seymour paid tribute to Bob Kingsbury who died Saturday. Seymour noted Kingsbury’s military service which included combat duty during World War II in Europe, as well as serving a term as one of Laconia’s representatives in state House of Representatives. Seymour extended condolences to Kingsbury’s children and grandchildren. . . . . . The council approved transferring a lease for a hangar at the Laconia Airport from American Aviation Corp. to James and Eugene LaBrie.

Shawn Carter’s lawyers want evidence discovery while indictment is still pending BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The former Belmont man who allegedly murdered his mother and brother with an ax in late May will appear in court today so his attorneys can argue for the release (discovery) of information that they say could assist them with his defense. Lawyers defending 31-year-old Shawn Carter say state law allows them access to the state’s information about the case before he is indicted by a grand jury, which has yet to happen. N.H. Senior Assistant Attorney General Jeff Strelzin says the court’s own rules do not entitle Carter’s defense to the information until he has been indicted by a grand jury and the internal rules trump the state Legislature when it comes to setting internal time lines. Carter, is charged with the ax murders of his mother Priscilla Carter and his brother Timothy Carter whose bodies were discovered on May 24 in their Sunset Drive home by Belmont Police while responding to a wellbeing check. Carter was arrested by police about three hours after police found the bodies. He was driving his mother’s car on Route 3 but, at the time was only charged with driving after his license had been suspended. He was held on $200 cash-only bail for the driving after revocation charge but was either unable or unwilling to post bond. He has since been found guilty. On July 9, police charged Carter with four counts of second-degree homicide — two for each victim and each iterating a different theory of the same crime. To date he has not been indicted by a grand jury and is being held in a maximum security cell in the Belknap County House of Corrections without the possibility of bail. The next round of indictments is due on October 3. Carter’s attorneys argue the state had obtained an arrest warrant for Carter for the murders on June 13 but

didn’t formally charge him until July 9 and the three-week time delay has violated his constitutional rights. While his trial for driving after revocation was pending, Carter’s attorneys repeatedly asked for the state’s reasons for issuing a “be on the lookout” (BOLO) alert for him in the first place but were unable to get any information for the seven weeks until his actual arrests for the homicides. Carter’s defense team says state law allows for pre-indictment discovery and to date they have gotten nothing more than affidavits for his arrest from the state. They say the lack of information is interfering with Carter’s constitutional rights to due process, to confront his accusers, and to hear the evidence against him. During a probable cause hearing on August 6 for the homicides, Carter’s defense team, as well as the public, heard from N.H. State Police homicide investigator Sgt. Joseph Ebert about the gruesome murders. The court ordered that the affidavits supporting Carter’s arrest be released and his defense team was allowed to crossexamine Ebert. Strelzin says court rules don’t allow for pre-indictment discovery and the state law is inconsistent with more recent internal court rules regarding time lines. He notes that the state Legislature passed the law allowing for pre-indictment discovery in 1971 but in May of 2004 then-N.H. Superior Court Justice Robert Lynn issued new rules for N.H. Courts saying that the Superior Court shall dismiss without prejudice and vacate all bail ordered in cases where a defendant has not been indicted 90 days after his or her arrest. (“Without prejudice” means the state, with a few exceptions, can recharge a defendant with the same crime at a later date.) “To the extent the purpose (of the state law) was to allow discovery see CARTER page 13

LHS volleyball coach brings championship experience to young team By AlAnA Persson FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA – “The Laconia High School Varsity Volleyball team may be small in number but they are big in heart”, claims the newly appointed volleyball coach, Mary Ann Meyers, who has encouraged her young team to put everything out on the court. This year’s Laconia High School varsity volleyball team is made up of many new faces, including a new coach. Mary Ann Meyers took over Molly Greely’s position as varsity coach for this season, and is eager to see what the team has to offer. Meyers, a Laconia High School graduate of the Class of 2000, played volleyball throughout both her high school and college career. Striving for the overall win, Meyers helped the 1999 Laconia High School varsity volleyball team finally claim a championship title. Leaving high school with a championship under her belt, Meyers entered a new volleyball program at Colby Sawyer College. After four more years of work, Meyers experienced another senior year championship in 2004. Within a year of graduating from college, Meyers was back on the court, this time as a coach of the Laconia High School junior varsity team. Assessing the potential each player brings to the team, Meyers taps her championship experience to pass on tricks, skills, and last minute moves that could be beneficial on the court. After a short break in coaching, Meyers is once again back on the Laconia High School court, this time coaching the varsity team. Slightly disappointed by the initial turn out at tryouts, Meyers has hopes that the 18 dedicated girls will accomplish great things this season. During the recent jamboree at Gilford High School, her team played fairly well. The team faces the challenge of having many young players, many of whom are acclimating to playing new positions. Seniors Jeanine Parsons and Rebecca Dragon have shown not only great skill and talent on the court, but also great leadership for the young team, said Meyers. In addition to the two senior captains, junior cap see next page

LHS boys’ soccer shuts out Franklin for 2nd win of the season
Inter-Lakes’ Donohue closes in on 500 kills
The Laconia High School boy’s varsity soccer team improved to 2-1 after a 6-0 win over Franklin on September 6. It took the Sachems just two minutes before finding the back of Franklin’s net. Drew Sykes was the first to score for Laconia. Jake Sykes added another 15 minutes later. Aidan Dean, who also notched three assists, scored in the 20th minute, and Josh Emond, who also had an assist to his credit, scored five minutes later. Drew Sykes scored again to close out the first half, giving Laconia a 5-0 lead. Edis Dizdarevic scored late in the second half for the final mark of the game. Minding the net for Laconia was Panthavy Pradachith, who made two saves.
The Inter-Lakes High School varsity volleyball team lost a hard-fought match at Nute on Friday, September 6. Set scores were 25-27, 16-25, 23-25. The Lakers were led by senior captains Jordan Donohue and Lydia Swedberg. Donohue had 14 kills and nine service points and Swedberg had 16 service points and 12 digs. Also contributing were Hayley Roth (17 assists), Victoria Burns (10 digs) and Kaila Martin (7 kills). With the 14 kills on Friday night, senior middle hitter Donohue is just four kills shy of the 500 career kill mark. A varsity starter since her freshman year, Jordan was likely to reach this exciting milestone in the Lakers home opener on Monday, September 9 against John Stark. She will be the first player in the history of the volleyball program at Inter-Lakes to achieve this feat.

ARE SILVER FILLINGS SAFE? There has been quite a lot of controversy over the past 150 years regarding the safety of silver amalgam fillings. The word “amalgam” describes a compound in which mercury is alloyed with another metal. Measuring instruments in today’s world are so sensitive that they can detect even the slightest trace of mercury (or anything else), and all humans have a measurable amount of mercury in their bodies. For healthy people with amalgam restorations, about 20% of the mercury in their bodies is derived from silver fillings. The other 80% comes from dietary sources (especially fish), air, and water. Proponents of dental amalgam note that no scientific study (there are many) has ever demonstrated harm to patients resulting from this very slight exposure. Opponents of amalgam believe that any slight exposure caries more risk than they are willing to bear. The bulk of scientific evidence clearly supports the continued use of amalgam in the absence of metal allergies (some women are metal sensitive and should definitely not have silver fillings). As amalgam is less costly and in some cases more durable than alternative materials, it seems reasonable to offer it as an option. Many patients prefer to avoid it due to the perception of risk or poor esthetics, and that is OK. There are excellent alternative materials available in today’s dental environment, so choose whatever makes you happy.

Gilford field hockey 2-0 for first time in 15 years
The Lakes Region Wavemakers Swim Team officially began its fall/winter season on September 9. The team welcomes swimmers from throughout the Lakes Region and beyond. The team host swimmers from North Conway, Franconia, Northfield, Bristol and Canterbury to name a few of the towns. Swimming is a sport that takes dedication as well as a love for the water and a dedication to focus on improving technique which will then build speed. The team focuses on each swimmer making improvements in their time, technique, pride and confidence. Even though some say swimming is an individual sport, the Wavemakers have a strong team atmosphere across the ages. Many friendships are made at the pool, too. Registration are still being accepted. For more information, visit www.lakesregionwavemakers.com/ or call Judy Cook at 293-0279.
Just two games into Gilford field hockey’s season and goalie Ashlyn Miller has recorded two shutouts, the latest coming September 6 after a 6-0 win over White Mountain Regional High School. Helping Miller to thwart the opposing team’s offense were halfbacks Kayla Orton, Catherine Buckley, Emily Wenig and Molly Dignan. Coach David Rogacki said Gilford’s offense was led by Kelsey Buckley, who scored three goals, while Laura and Becky Zakorchemny also scored. Rogacki added that Marissa Kelleher had a very good passing game in the midfield. Gilford next travels to Winnisquam for a 4 p.m. game on September 10. According to Rogacki, this marks the first time in 15 years that Gilford has started a field hockey season at 2-0.
from preceding page tain Mikayla Bordeau has been a strong player, who recently was switched from libero to an outside hitter. One of the youngest players on the team, Freshman Rylee Littlefield has already shown skill and promise, as she fills the important role as setter. For Meyers, coaching allows her to remain part of the team, even though she can’t be out on the court. “It is an amazing feeling when you teach something to your players in practice and see them get it down in a game,” says Meyers. “As a coach I try to instill my love of volleyball to the girls and express the importance of passion, hard work, and collaboration together as it takes a team to get there.”
Although the team is experiencing a rebuilding year, Meyers has faith that the dedication and hard work the players have shown will help them go far. Meyers is excited to get the season started. Bordeau is also excited for the first game on Wednesday, September 11 at Oyster River High School. “I am looking forward to a great season with a wonderful group of girls,” Bordeau states. “We are a team willing to work hard and we won’t settle for anything less than our best. Having Coach Meyers as our head coach this year is different than what we are used to, but she is a great coach who will keep us on our toes and make us the best team we can be.”

Bob Kingsbury dies at 87; always a gentleman, he ran for state & local office 18 times and only won once BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — When, Bob Kingsbury was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2010 after running for governor, congressman, mayor, city councilor, state senator and state representative 16 times without success, he explained his both his earlier defeats and ultimate victory with a characteristic twinkle in his eye and wry smile Bob Kingsbury in his Laconia apartment earlier this year.

Strelzin also said that his department is well aware of its obligations to provide discovery, that the defense team has the affidavits supporting Carter’s arrests, and the detailed testimony by Ebert at his probable cause hearing gives the defense team enough information to begin their
own “independent investigation.” He also said the defense team has sole access to the only witness to Carter murders — Shawn Carter himself — and it’s not the state’s fault that Carter couldn’t bail himself out, because he “killed his mother and brother and was unable to find anyone to assist him (with posting bail).” “He, more than the state should be able to should be able to provide information about whatever ‘potentially exculpatory evidence’ the defense believes exists in this case,” Strelzin continued.

MOULTONBOROUGH from page one failed when the board split evenly — three-to-three — with Bartlett abstaining and Ryerson voting no. However, neither believed it was the best interest of the town to require the structure be dismantled. Ryerson changed her “no” to “yes,” breaking the stalemate in the “poll,” and Bartlett offered a motion to grant the CUP, which carried five-to-two. For weeks the selectmen refused to reveal the source of the complaints against the pair, once claiming there was a “petition,” sometimes claiming it was one person and other times several, but always declining to identify anyone by name. On the eve of the hearings it was disclosed, as result of a Right-to-Know request filed by Bartlett’s attorney, that the original complaint was made by Terenzini. On July 16, he sent a memorandum to the Selectboard, which was copied to Peter Minkow, headed by statement that “this is a privileged and confidential communication protected by attorney client privilege. It is not subject to release under FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) or RSA 91A (Right-to-know Law). Two days later, in consultation with Terenzini and Minkow behind closed doors, the selectmen decided to initiate removal proceedings. In his memorandum, Terenzini recounted the process at the Planning Board, stressing that after the members were polled on the 11 criteria “the appropriate motion was to deny . . . as there had not been an affirmative finding on all 11 items.” But, he said that Bartlett, who had abstained, moved to approve the application then Ryerson changed her vote “without explanation” and the motion carried. “I have no quarrel with those who did their very best to apply the ordinance,” Terenzini told the Selectboard. “However, for the two who did not do this, their action sent a message that it is easier to ask for forgiveness ... than permission. This makes our enforcement difficult at best and at worse a farce.” When the hearing against Bartlett opened yesterday Terenzini, who presented the case against Bartlett, said he was prompted by complaints from several residents. “Name the names,” someone shouted. Terenzini refused, drawing a round of catcalls when he said they were “verbal.” Selectman Chris Shipp, who has persistently called for full disclosure, moved to discontinue the hearing. “The process has become more of an issue than the original problem,” he said. He was second by Ed Charest, who said “I did the same thing” during his seven years on the Planning Board. Jon Tolman said that because the conduct in question took place in a recorded public meeting, the identity of those who complained is irrelevant. When the motion failed three-to-two, the hearing continued. Terenzini said that Bartlett, despite saying that the project failed to meet two of the 11 criteria, failed to vote “no” then moved to approve the application. At the same time, he refused to apply the so-called S.A.F

“de novo” standard by failing to treat the project as if it had not been built as well as the “juror standard” by allowing his personal opinions to affect his conduct. Bartlett distributed material,. including a copy of his formal statement to the selectmen. When Terenzini asked for a copy “in the spirit of fair play” the crowd erupted in laughter. Reading from his statement, Bartlett began by charging the Selectboard breached the N.H. Rghtto-Know law on July 18, when after receiving Terenzini’s memorandum, they met with Minkow, discussed the issue and decided to proceed. He said that the Attorney General’s memorandum on the statute stipulates that no deliberations are be held or decisions made while consulting with counsel in a “non-meeting,” a statement Minkow later called “ridiculous.” Bartlett continued to rebut each of the charges. He insisted that he had a right to abstain and the minutes show that he fully participated in the discussion at the Planning Board. As for the “de novo” standard, he said “I find it very hard to deny reality” and questioned the origin and legitimacy of the standard. Noting that Terenzini charged him with making “disparaging remarks” about the Zoning Board of Adjustment, Bartlett characterized his statements as “constructive criticism” and asked “is it not the duty of a board member to pint out , emphatically if necessary, if they see what they believe to be failures of town departments or boards to do their jobs properly?” Meanwhile, attorney Chris Meier of Cooper, Cargill and Chant of North Conway, representing Bartlett, challenged the legitimacy of the hearings on two grounds. First, he reminded the selectmen see next page

from preceding page that they decided to proceed at an “non-meeting” in violation of the right-to-know law. Furthermore, he claimed that Minkow, who advised the Selectboard to proceed and was advising them at the hearing, also represents the Planning Board, which amounts to a conflict of interest. Meier told the Selectboard that he found only one case of a member of a land use board being removed and that was overturned by the New Hampshire Supreme Court. The standard for removal, he said, is “willful disregard of one’s duties” which is extremely high, and none of the charges against Bartlett approached it. When the hearing was opened to the public, eight speakers rose to Bartlett’s defense. Kevin Kelly viewed the conduct of the selectmen the way his children reacted to him using a computer, remaking “they laugh.” Eric Taussig, an attorney, found the removal proceedings “totally inappropriate” and “very distressing.” Richard Brown, who chairs the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Committee, acknowledged his differences of opinion with Bartlertt, but said that he was a conscientious member of the Planning Board who should not be removed. Several people warned that removing Bartlett in these circumstances would have a chilling effect on the recruitment of volunteers to serve on boards and committees. When the Selectboard deliberated, Charest said that the charges simply did not warrant removal. “There are valid points on both sides of the issue,” said Shipp, who agreed with Charest, but added he hoped everyone learned from this controversy. Tolman said that the issue was not about Bartlett’s character, but his conduct. But, he said that “I would have a hard time removing him. The place to remove elected officials is at the voting booth.” Shipp moved not to remove Bartlett and when the motion carried unanimously someone in the crowd asked “what about an apology?” “Anyone?” asked Joel Mudgett, chairman of the Selectboard, “It’s not necessary,” said selectman Russ Wakefield to the chagrin of the crowd. “I’m sorry we put you through it,” said Shipp while Tolman admitted to discomfort with the process. “Should the process have been better? Yes. No question.”

No world record for paddlers, but lots of smiles By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — An attempt to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest “raft” of canoes and kayaks fell far short of the goal of 2,100 as only 300 showed up for Saturday’s LakeFest at Weirs Beach. But organizers of the event from the N.H. Lakes organization were pleased nonetheless and said that the organization plans to hold similar events in the future as part of its educational and outreach mission to protect the state’s lakes. Martha Lovejoy, member service representative for N.H. Lakes, said ‘’the response was amazing and there was great energy at this year’s LakeFest. We’ve taken it from being an indoors convention type of gathering to one that was family-friendly and involved different generations of people vested in our lakes.’’ ‘’We learned a lot about what we need to do by holding the event. We’re regrouping and assessing what we’ll do next. We don’t want to lose the energy we saw Saturday.’’ She said 380 people registered in all and that a count taken on Saturday showed a little over 300 canoes and kayaks in the water. One person who came from the farthest away was Tom Suppan of Manassas, Virginia, who was visiting his daughter, Amber, and his son-in-law Dave Cannon of Manchester. Suppan brought along his hand-made cedar kayak, which he says it took him 350 hours to build and which he was headed to Maine with for a week of kayaking on the Androscoggin River. ‘’They heard about the attempt to break the record on NPR (National Public Radio) and we decided that it was a good event to get involved with,’’ said Suppan, who works with the U.S. Treasury Department and is a relative of former Boston, Pittsburgh and St. Louis pitcher Jeff Suppan. Both Cannon, who is a mechanical engineer who works for DEKA Research in Manchester, and his wife, who is a medical illustrator, also brought along kayaks and were eager to get out onto the lake and meet others who were taking part.

Obama’s Massive $100M Brain Research Initiative Targets Memory Loss PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Drug-free memory discovery yields ‘shocking’ results in clinical trial; restores brainpower equal to those up to 15 years younger, all within 30 days!
PHOENIX, ARIZONA — For readers who fret about their lessthan-perfect memory, or worry about steadily worsening mental powers, your life is about to change. Thanks to President Obama’s massive $100 million B.R.A.I.N. initiative, millions of frustrated Americans who not only lose their car keys, but also forget where they have parked may soon have real, lasting relief.
an updated version of a legendary Medicare-reimbursed brain health protocol. Preventive Gerontologist, Dr. Arnold Bresky, the man responsible for the Medicare-reimbursed brain tune-up protocol recommends this prescription-free memory compound as an integral part of his new Four Pillars of Brain Health program.
Science Attacks Memory Loss
The multi-year program called Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neuro-technologies, or BRAIN, will as part of its initiative, target the symptoms premature mental decline, including poor memory, the inability to maintain focus and concentration, mental fatigue, and brain fog. It has been called the “next great American project,” drawing comparisons to the wildly successful 1990 scientific discovery initiative, the Human Genome Project. Over an estimated ten-year period, Brain Research scientists will ‘map’ the human brain in an unprecedented quest to unravel its mysteries.
What’s the Catch?
What President Obama and administration officials failed to tell Americans is that, for many, they don’t have to spend $100 million or wait ten-plus years for a fix for their foggy, forgetful mind. In fact, evidence of a genuine, clinically tested, real, memory pill is here, now.
Real Memory Pill Exists!
A US-based research firm, Brain Research Labs, has developed and conducted successful human testing on a genuine memory pill. Over a period of a few weeks in a landmark, randomized, double-blind, placebocontrolled clinical trial, published in a peer-reviewed journal, scientists observed the formula helping older brains function more youthfully. In many cases, the formula allowed users to match the memory recall speed and brainpower of those up to 15 years younger, all within a 30-day time period. It’s no secret either. The US Patent and Trademark Office has granted the drugfree natural formula a United States patent. Over the years, the sophisticated threepart formulation has gained the trust of medical doctors, a top clinical pharmacist, and is even a recommended component in
‘Pharmacist of the Year,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, recommends a patented, natural memory compound With more than 45 years behind a pharmacist’s counter, and 25 years in a radio show booth, if Dr. Gene Steiner had a nickel for every time someone asked, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,” he would be a rich man today.
A Crystal-Clear Memory
It’s a question he’s heard many times. “This natural memory pill is to an aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs,” he says. Before prescribing the pill to patients, Dr. Steiner decided to first try it himself. “Within a few days, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear,” he says. “I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!”
A Pharmacy Best-Seller
“It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.” “It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula.” “With this simple, drug-free formula, we finally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective. And you don’t need a prescription either!” Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehensive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence examination, a daunting examination that tests a candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law. “I began taking the natural memory compound for two weeks prior to the test, and I passed with flying colors!” “The recall
I personally experienced was fantastic,” says Steiner. “It’s a unique process,” he adds, “that pumps the brain full of energizing oxygen, helping improve blood circulation to the brain, while helping to boost key neurotransmitters in the brain responsible for cognitive functioning.” Alternative medicine pioneer, and retired medical school professor, Dr. Robert Heller, personally uses and recommends the formula.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your smile is your best accessory, and you’ll wear it from day into night. When your mood dips, the flexing of a few facial muscles will improve things immensely. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Other people’s belief systems may not match yours, but that doesn’t make them wrong. The only steadfast rule is that there are no steadfast rules. Being flexible will serve you well. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Cats and terriers can smell the rats they can’t see, and you have something in common with these perceptive beasts today. State your suspicion, and it will be confirmed. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 10). What’s better than doing work you enjoy with people you love? You’ll find out in the span of four weeks. October brings a change in the friendship circle. November sees you entrusted with a responsibility, as well as with the key to someone’s heart. Make your move in January when your idea will be universally liked. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 14, 2, 35 and 47.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Roll with the punches. Don’t let yourself get attached to an interaction going any certain way. This isn’t a movie, and your happy ending does not hinge on a single interaction playing out in one particular way. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You want to be seen in a certain light, and you’re being a bit careful about how you present yourself. Just know that you will have to reveal a bit about yourself if you want others to let down their guard and do the same. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be making a pitch of some kind. Don’t forget to ask for what you want. Once you state your intention, people will either support you or opt out. Either way, your time will not be wasted. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Class is not money, and money is not class. Ideally, you’ll learn and grow and have plenty of both. For now, determine which you have more of and then work on the lacking area for a while. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Beware of the tendency to spend unnecessarily now. Take a second look at the choices you’ve made. It’s a good time to cut something out for the sake of living within your means. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The question will arise: Are you being too hard on yourself? How far should you push yourself for optimal strength, health and happiness? Your tendency is to go too far, and today you’ll benefit from pulling back. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Marcel Proust said that the only paradise is paradise lost. He underestimated your ability to know a good thing when it’s happening. You will revel in today’s slice of heaven. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). In order to fully accept yourself, you must first consciously realize what it is you’re rejecting. Certain notions you have about yourself are so ingrained that you won’t notice them until someone points them out to you. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Use good judgment in deciding when to try to influence others and when to stay out of it. People indulging their prejudices don’t want to be confused with facts.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Sept. 10, the 253rd day of 2013. There are 112 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On September 10, 1813, an American naval force commanded by Oliver H. Perry defeated the British in the Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812. (Afterward, Perry sent out the message, “We have met the enemy and they are ours.”) On this date: In 1608, John Smith was elected president of the Jamestown colony council in Virginia. In 1846, Elias Howe received a patent for his sewing machine. In 1912, the jungle character Tarzan made his debut as “Tarzan of the Apes” by Edgar Rice Burroughs was first published in The All-Story magazine. In 1919, New York City welcomed home Gen. John J. Pershing and 25,000 soldiers who’d served in the U.S. 1st Division during World War I. In 1939, Canada declared war on Germany. In 1945, Vidkun Quisling was sentenced to death in Norway for collaborating with the Nazis (he was executed by firing squad in October 1945). In 1962, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the University of Mississippi to admit James Meredith, a black student. In 1963, twenty black students entered Alabama public schools following a standoff between federal authorities and Gov. George C. Wallace. In 1979, four Puerto Rican nationalists imprisoned for a 1954 attack on the U.S. House of Representatives and a 1950 attempt on the life of President Harry S. Truman were freed from prison after being granted clemency by President Jimmy Carter. In 1983, John Vorster (FAWS’-tur), prime minister of white-ruled South Africa from 1966 to 1978, died in Cape Town at age 67. In 1987, Pope John Paul II arrived in Miami, where he was welcomed by President and Mrs. Reagan as he began a 10-day tour of the United States. In 1993, “The X-Files” premiered on Fox Television. Ten years ago: Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh, 46, was stabbed in a Stockholm department store; she died the next day. (Mijailo Mijailovic was later convicted of murdering Lindh and was sentenced to life in prison.) The first video image of Osama bin Laden in nearly two years was broadcast on Al-Jazeera T. Five years ago: The world’s largest particle collider passed its first major tests by firing two beams of protons in opposite directions around a 17-mile (27-kilometer) ring under the FrancoSwiss border. Frank Mundus, the legendary shark fisherman said to have inspired the character of Quint in “Jaws,” died in Honolulu at age 82. One year ago: An airstrike killed al-Qaida’s No. 2 leader in Yemen along with six others traveling with him in a breakthrough for U.S.-backed efforts to cripple the terror network’s operations in the impoverished Arab nation. Chicago teachers walked off the job in what would become a seven-day strike, idling nearly 400,000 students in one of the nation’s third-largest school district. Andy Murray became the first British man since 1936 to capture a Grand Slam title, beating Novak Djokovic, to win the U.S. Open in five grueling sets.

LAKEFEST from page 15 and Irwin Marine as part of a LakeFest promotion to encourage people to show up at Saturday’s event. Also there was Kathleen Zuchowski of Auburn, who kayaks frequently on Lake Masabbesic, where she says kayakers aren’t permitted to even step into the lake, which serves as the water supply for the city of Manchester. ‘’I’m not really here because of the attempt to set a record. I think it is so important that we protect our lakes. This is a great fundraiser and that’s what enticed me to be here.’’ Another participant was Scott Kimball of Auburn, a retired art teacher who says that one of major problems he sees for that state of New Hampshire and Lake Winnipesaukee in particular is the lack of public access to the lake. ‘’My grandparents had a cottage in the late 1930s at Lee’s Mills in Moultonborough. The lake has changed so much since then. We couldn’t afford to keep it and it was bought and now there’s a much bigger home there.’’ says Kimball. He recalls that when he was a kid there was a family campground on the lake nearby where there were 300 camp sites, used mostly by New Hampshire residents, which was also sold and now there are six large homes there and no more access for the public. ‘’We’ve privatized the lake. There’s hardly any access for New Hampshire residents any more. We have only one small state park on Winnipesaukee. That’s a shame. I’m so disappointed about where the lake went and appalled by the lack of access and the state’s Tea Party way of doing things,’’ said Kimball. He said that he supports the mission of NH Lakes in trying to prevent the spread of invasive aquatic species but thinks that water milfoil is here to stay. ‘’My brother did research on milfoil in the 1970s for the Appalachian Mountain Club, when it was just establishing itself in the state. It’s got worse since then and there’s no way we’re ever going to eradicate it. The best we can do is just react to try and control it wherever we can, knowing that it’s going to reestablish itself,’’ said Kimball.
Pitman’s Freight Room hosting ‘folk impurists’ The Buskers on Thursday night LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia, will host The Buskers Thursday, Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. “Folk impurists” with a smart, distinct voice and a kitchen sink repertoire of influences from jug band and jazz to roots rock, “The Buskers” tap the street music tradition for which they are named, then go much farther, with serious musicianship, a sense of humor, and energy to burn.” (Weirs Times) Their sound is defined by deep respect for the craft of songwriting and a shared love for the inventive possibilities of improvisation. Washington, D.C. native Craig Jaster (piano, bass, accordion, vocals) has played professionally since age 15. A graduate of Sarah Lawrence College, he moved to New Hampshire, where he has played jazz with Delfeayo Marsalis, Tiger Okoshi and Big Joe Burrell and opened for The Yellowjackets, Arturo Sandoval, Dianne Reeves, and the late great Ray Charles. Kathy (KZ) Sommer (violin, mandolin, vocals) has studied and performed with latin jazz maestro Eddie Palmieri, the Turtle Island string Quartet and master fiddlers Matt Glaser, Jay Unger and mandolinist Peter Ostroushko. Paul Hubert (guitar, vocals) has performed extensively as a solo artist on classical guitar and played

with various bands including the rock group White Light. Jared Steer on drums plays with a vast number of projects and has played with the likes of Randy Roos (guitar great), Philip Hamilton and James Montgomery. Admission is $12. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and Pitman’s is a BYOB venue. For more information check our website www.pitmansfreightroom.com or call 603-527-0043.
HEALTH from page 2 Dean of Elliot Health System. “We see the local community — people in positions like ours and the business community locally — to be the best ones to design a health care delivery system that’s right for New Hampshire.” Members will be assigned a care coordinator that will serve as a health and wellness advocate, connecting with patients before and after appointments and serving as a link to providers. Innovative approaches such as Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s focus on shared decision-making will be spread to other providers, and the partners will share information, including claims data from Harvard Pilgrim. In addition to the two partner hospitals, the ElevateHealth network will include Cheshire Medical Center, New London Hospital, Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, Derry Medical Center and their affiliated physicians. Officials said they hope to expand that network in the future. Officials would not estimate how many people they hope to enroll but said Harvard Pilgrim cur-
rently covers 145,000 people in employer-sponsored plans across New Hampshire. One business owner who attended the announcement, Chuck Rolecek, said he is eager to learn more. Rolecek, who owns the Hanover Street Chop House in Manchester, said he is tired of switching insurance companies almost every year. He used to have Harvard Pilgrim and would consider switching back. “Anytime they say lower cost and they don’t say reduction in quality, your ears really perk up, because usually there’s a trade-off,” he said. “To have something with some consistency would be really great.” Eric Schultz of Harvard Pilgrim said ElevateHealth won’t offer individual plans initially but likely will do so in the future. Those plans would then compete with the offerings of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield that will be sold through the online markets required by the federal Affordable Care Act. For now, only Anthem will offer plans through the new markets, or exchanges, when enrollment begins Oct. 1, but Harvard Pilgrim plans to be a player in 2015.
OBAMA from page 2 with a credible threat of military pressure, I do not think we will actually get the kind of agreement I would like to see,” he said on CNN. In a separate interview with NBC, the president took the step — unusual for any politician — of conceding he may lose his campaign in Congress for legislation authorizing a military strike. “I wouldn’t say I’m confident” of the outcome, he said. “I think it’s fair to say that I haven’t decided” on a next step if Congress turns its back, the president told NBC, part of a furious lobbying campaign aimed at winning support from dubious lawmakers as well as a war-weary public. The president picked up a smattering of support but also suffered a reversal when Sen. Johnny Isakson, a Georgia Republican, announced he had switched from a backer of military action to an opponent. “They’re in tough shape. It is getting late,” said Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., after he and other lawmakers emerged from a closed-door meeting with administration officials. The New York Republican favors the legislation that Obama wants, but he said the president didn’t need to seek it and now must show that a strike “is in America’s national security interest.” Classified briefings for lawmakers just back from vacation, the public release of cringe-inducing videos of men, women and children writing in agony from
the evident effects of chemical gas, and a half-dozen network news interviews featuring Obama were folded into the White House bid to avert a humiliating defeat over the next 10 days. Obama met with members of the Congressional Black Caucus during the day, and arranged a trip to the Capitol as well as a prime-time speech from the East Room of the White House on Tuesday. In the Senate, Reid said he had discussed a delay in Wednesday’s scheduled initial vote with the president. Earlier, Reid had spoken strongly in support of the president’s request. “Today, many Americans say that these atrocities are none of our business, that they’re not our concern,” the Nevada Democrat said of Assad’s alleged gassing of civilians on Aug. 21. “I disagree. Any time the powerful turn such weapons of terror and destruction against the powerless, it is our business.” Others came down on the other side of the question. “I will vote ‘no’ because of too much uncertainly about what comes next,” said Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Tennessee Republican. “After Step A, what will be steps B, C, D and E?” he added, reflecting concerns that even the limited action Obama was contemplating could lead to a wider war. Missouri Republican Roy Blunt also announced his opposition.

LACONIA — Laconia Fire Department Lieutenant Chad Vaillancourt is a big fan of the WOW Trail and last year rallied a team to walk the WOW Trail in full bunker gear and selfcontained breathing apparatus, over 60 pounds, as part of the WOW Trail’s fundraising event called WOW Fest. This year, Vaillancourt and team will again be participating at WOW Fest by honoring the memory of the 19 Prescott Valley Arizona Firefighters who died battling the Yarn Hill wildfire on June 30th of this year. “The Laconia Professional Firefighters, Local 1153, is excited to participate again this year at WOW Fest ‘13 while honoring our fellow firefighters from Arizona” explains Lt. Vaillancourt. “We’re planning on having a team of 19 firefighters doing the 3-mile walk in forest fire protective clothing while carrying an assortment of the tools and equipment used in battling forest fires”. “We are also challenging other businesses and organizations to get their teams together and come out, get
active and support the WOW Trail” said Lt.Vaillancourt. “We are going to use this as an opportunity for training, conditioning and teamwork all while raising money for the trail”. WOW Fest ‘13, presented by Bank of New Hampshire, will take place on Saturday, September 14 and features a 3 mile fun walk, 5K and 10K road races and 15 mile and 67 mile bicycle challenges. All events start and finish at the Laconia Athletic & Swim Club on North Main Street followed by a festival with BBQ luncheon, live music and many fun-filled kids and family activities. Luncheon provided this year by Fratello’s, T-Bones, The Common Man and Patrick’s with music from Paul Warnick. The WOW Trail is a multi-use trail connecting Lakeport and downtown Laconia. Currently a 1.3 mile trail, the WOW Trail committee is working on plans to build Phase 2 of the trail, which will continue the trail from downtown Laconia to the Belmont town line, effectively doubling the length of the trail.

Thursday, September 19th @ 3:00 Laconia Rotary Hall “Up on Poppy Hill” PG The setting is Yokohama in 1963, and the filmmakers lovingly bring to life the bustling seaside town, with its misty harbor, sun-drenched gardens, shops and markets, and some of the most mouthwatering Japanese homecooking set to film. The story centers on an innocent romance beginning to bud between Umi and Shun, two high school kids caught up in the changing times. Japan is picking itself up from the devastation of World War II and preparing to host the 1964 Olympics - and the mood is one of both optimism and conflict as the young generation struggles to throw off the shackles of a troubled past.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 10, 2013— Page 25
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am a 34-year-old wife and mother of four. My husband is 44 and drinks on a daily basis. I don’t mind a few cans of beer when he gets home. However, he drinks at least a six-pack, usually more, every day after work. I’m tired of arguing with him about his drinking. He always responds, “At least I drink at home and not at the bar.” My husband also refuses to get an annual physical exam. He never sees a doctor or a dentist, even if he is sick. I’m really worried about his health. I want him to live long enough for our children to reach adulthood. I have asked my husband whether he will let me take him for a physical. If the doctor says he is healthy, my heart will be at peace. I think he is being selfish, only thinking of himself. He talks so much of pride. But he doesn’t consider what would happen to his family if anything were to happen to him. My youngest child is only 4. How do I get him to cut back on his drinking and see a doctor? -- Worried Wife Dear Worried: We don’t think your husband is being intentionally selfish. We think he is afraid. People who avoid doctors and dentists often do so because they fear what the doctor will find. Those with a drinking problem may be concerned that the doctor will discover damage from the drinking, but they are unwilling to stop. If your husband’s drinking has increased, he may also be depressed and self-medicating. You can try talking to him about these possibilities. Unfortunately, he may not be willing to admit any of this or change his behavior, in which case, the best you can do is protect yourself. Make sure he has a valid will and his affairs are in order. And contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for support.
Dear Annie: Two years ago, my husband and I bought a condo so we could spend our winters in a warm climate. We have family members who are now inviting themselves to “visit,” which means they are vacationing while we do all the work. We enjoy these relatives, but for a shorter time period. And having their own accommodations would be ideal. How would you suggest we handle this? We don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but we are not very excited about these yearly winter visitors, and I feel used. -- N. in Arizona Dear N.: Unless you tell these people they cannot stay with you, they will continue to impose. Simply say, “It would be wonderful to see you. Unfortunately, we aren’t up to hosting guests. Here are the names of local hotels. Let us know when you get settled.” If anyone ends up at your condo, don’t be reluctant to ask them to pitch in with the groceries, cooking and cleaning. You did not, after all, invite them. Perhaps they will decide it isn’t quite so appealing as a “vacation” spot. At the very least, you won’t be doing all of the work. Dear Annie: I read the response from “Fran,” who took exception to your response to “Perplexed,” saying that kids shouldn’t have to call their parents every day, even if it only takes five minutes. I am a 61-year-old male. My grandmother used to live a block away. When I was a child, my mother would go see her every evening even if it was only for five minutes. One evening, I asked my mother why she went every single evening to see Grandma. She simply looked at me and said, “Because tomorrow I may never get to talk to her again.” I understood exactly what she meant. P.S.: Grandma passed away five years later. -- Loving Dad in Pennsylvania
