LACONIA — Dave Gammon yesterday petitioned the Belknap County Superior Court to order a recount of the primary election results in Ward 5, where three writein votes for the City Council were cast, but not recorded.

“We had no alternative,” Gammon said, adding that the he will pay close to to $300 to file the suit.

When the polls were closed on September 10, votes tallied and ballots sealed, incumbent city councilor Bob Hamel, who ran unopposed, was declared the winner with 39 of 47 ballots cast. No write-in votes for city councilor were reported. However, a computer print-out reports that three write-in ballots were cast in the race.

The City Charter makes no specific reference to write-in votes, but simply prescribes that the two candidates receiving the most votes for see VOtEs page 10

PINKHAM NOTCH, N.H. (AP) — A 25-yearold hiker from Canada has died after he slipped and fell 150 feet while descending a Mount Washington trail.

Luc Paquette of Boisbriand, Quebec, was with a group of friends Thursday when he wandered off the Tuckerman Ravine trail to get a better look at a waterfall and fill his water bottle, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said.

He slipped on the wet terrain and fell, landing on a small ledge about three-quarters of the way up a headwall.

A 911 call was made about 5:15 p.m.

A number of people tried to help him Thursday, including a National Guard Black Hawk helicopter that raced up from Concord. It flew in close enough to the ledge to lower a rescue litter, yet stay away from the sheer edge of the headwall in what Fish and Game Sgt. Mark Ober described as a “harrowing display of flying.”

GOP House votes to keep government open but shut Obamacare WASHINGTON (AP) — Charting a collision course with the White House, the Republican-controlled House approved legislation Friday to wipe out the 3-yearold health care law that President Barack Obama has vowed to preserve — and simultaneously prevent a partial government shutdown that neither party claims to want.

“The American people don’t want the government shut down, and they don’t want “Obamacare,” Speaker John Boeh-

ner said as members of his rank and file cheered at a celebratory rally in the Capitol moments after the 230-189 vote. He stood at a lectern bearing a slogan that read, “#Senate must act.”

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said it will — but not the way Boehner and his tea party-heavy Republican contingent want. Assured of enough Senate votes to keep the government open and the health care law in existence, the Nevada Demo-

crat accused Republicans of attempting “to take an entire law hostage simply to appease the tea party anarchists.”

Behind the rhetoric lay the likelihood of another in a series of complex, inside-theBeltway brinkmanship episodes as conservative House Republicans and Obama struggle to imprint widely differing views on the U.S. government.

Pope Francis blasts abortion as symptom of ‘thow-away culture VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis offered an olive branch of sorts to the doctrine-minded, conservative wing of the Catholic Church on Friday as he denounced abortions as a symptom of today’s “throwaway culture” and encouraged Catholic doctors to refuse to perform them.

Francis issued a strong anti-abortion message and cited Vatican teaching on the need to defend the unborn during an audience with Catholic gynecologists.

It came a day after he was quoted as blasting the church’s obsession with “small-minded rules” that are driving the faithful away. In an interview that has sent shockwaves through the church, Francis urged its pastors to focus on being merciful and welcoming rather than insisting only on such divisive, hot-button issues as abortion, gay marriage and contraception.

Even before the interview was published, some conservatives had voiced

disappointment that Francis had shied away from restating such church rules.

Francis explained his reason for doing so in the interview with the Jesuit journal La Civilta Cattolica, saying church teaching on such issues is well-known, he supports it, but that he doesn’t feel it necessary to repeat it constantly.

He did repeat it on Friday, however. In his comments, Francis denounced today’s see POPE page 8

2 key Republicans leave bipartisan House group working on immigration reform WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan House group that’s been working in secret to write a comprehensive immigration bill splintered Friday with the departure of two Republicans, the latest sign of difficulty in solving the contentious issue.

Texas Reps. John Carter and Sam Johnson said they can no longer be part of the effort because they don’t trust President Barack Obama to enforce any legislation they write.

Their move may amount to the end of the group, which even before Friday’s development had failed to produce a final product after months of delay. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida is now the sole Republican with four Democrats involved in the effort.

Another Republican, Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho, departed the group several months ago.

A joint statement from Johnson and Carter underscored how the thorny immigration issue is made even tougher by partisan politics on Capitol Hill and the distrust many House Republicans have for Obama.

“The administration’s practice of hand-picking what parts of laws they wish to enforce has irrevocably damaged our efforts of fixing our broken immi-

gration system,” their statement said.

“If past actions are the best indicators of future behavior, we know that any measure depending on the president’s enforcement will not be faithfully executed. It would be gravely irresponsible to further empower this administration by granting them additional authority or discretion with a new immigration system,” they said. “The bottom line is — the American people do not trust the president to enforce laws, and we don’t either.

However, it’s not clear the development will have much of an impact on what the House does with respect to immigration, since House Republican leaders already had made clear they planned to proceed with a step-by-step approach, not with a single big bill like Johnson and Carter’s group had working on or like the Senate passed in June.

The group’s failure to deliver had already made it largely an afterthought in the House, where the Judiciary Committee has moved forward with individual, single-issue immigration bills that could come to the House floor sometime later this year or next. For now, immigration is on the back burner

as Congress confronts pressing deadlines over the budget and federal debt.

The Senate bill, strongly backed by the White House, includes billions for border security, a reworked legal immigration system to allow tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled workers into the country, and a 13-year path to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants already here illegally. The bill being written by the House working group, which was said to be largely complete, proceeded along similar lines, although with a somewhat longer path to citizenship and other, tougher elements.

Most House Republicans reject this comprehensive approach and many question offering citizenship to people who broke U.S. immigration laws to be in this country. And although House Republican leaders say they want to solve the issue, which has become a political drag for the GOP, many rank-andfile House Republicans appear to have little desire to deal with it. So for now, it’s unclear whether the GOP-led House will ever pass legislation that could form the basis for a final deal with the Democraticcontrolled Senate.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Linking global warming to public health, disease and extreme weather, the Obama administration pressed ahead Friday with tough requirements to limit carbon pollution from new power plants, despite protests from industry and Republicans that it would dim coal’s future.

The proposal, which would set the first national limits on heat-trapping pollution from future power plants, is intended to help reshape where Americans get electricity, moving from a coal-dependent past into a future fired by cleaner sources of energy. It’s also a key step in President Barack Obama’s global warming plans, because it would put in motion proposals to end what he called “the limitless dumping

of carbon pollution” from all power plants.

Under the law once the Environmental Protection Agency controls carbon at new plants, it will also control carbon at existing plants — a regulation the agency said Friday it would start work on immediately to meet a June 2014 deadline.

Yet the federal government’s own analysis of the new power plant proposal concludes that it would have a “negligible” impact on carbon dioxide emissions, pose little to no costs for the industry and provide no additional benefits to the public by 2022.

That’s because it essentially locks in what was widely expected to happen anyway. Even without new federal regulations, the agency concluded that

no new coal plants would have been built without carbon controls. Instead, the bulk of new power in this country would be supplied by natural gas, which already meets the standard announced Friday.

“The EPA ... does not anticipate this rule will have any impacts on the price of electricity, employment or labor markets or the U.S. economy,” the EPA wrote in its analysis.

The industry, and its allies in Congress, quickly dismissed that conclusion. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., said the agency was holding the coal industry to “impossible standards.” “If these regulations go into effect,” he said, “American jobs will be lost, electricity prices will soar and economic uncertainty will grow.”

Obama moves to limit carbon pollution coming from future power plants

Pat Buchanan

Is sun peeking through war clouds Prussian Chancellor Otto von Bismarck is sometimes credited with the proverb, “God has a special providence for fools, drunks and the United States of America.”

Observing the unfolding of the Syrian crisis, the Iron Chancellor was an insightful man. In August, we were hours away from missile strikes on Syria and involvement in its civil war with the possibility that Hezbollah, Iran and Russia would be drawn in. Seeking a way out of the box into which he gotten himself with his “Assad Must Go!” and “red line” bluster, President Obama announced he was going to Congress to get its backing, before bombing. This ignited a Middle American uprising against Obama’s war. Then John Kerry said Syria could evade the terrible swift sword of Barack Obama only by surrendering all their chemical weapons within a week.

Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, watching the United States careening toward a war that Russia no more wanted than did most of Congress, seized upon Kerry’s statement and said: Let us work together to rid Syria of chemical arms. Obama grabbed the life preserver.

To say the War Party is apoplectic at Obama for blowing this chance to get us into war with Syria, which held real promise of sucking us into a war with Iran, is an understatement. The worst peace scare in memory is sweeping through the think tanks of Washington.

Conceding the incompetence of how Obama and Kerry got us into this mess, are we not in a far better place than a month ago?

— A U.S. war on Syria has been averted. We are not killing Syrians.

— Assad has conceded he has chemical weapons and has shown a willingness to have inspectors come in and remove it.

— The chilly, almost Cold Warlike relations between Obama and Putin have given way to cooperation in getting these chemical weapons chronicled and removed.

— While this disarmament may take years, this is a powerful incentive for America and Russia to bring about a cease-fire, truce or end to this civil-sectarian war that has taken so many thousands of lives.

— There is a rising realization in the United States that the enemy in Syria is not Assad but the al-Qaida fighters and their allies. A victory for the rebels could mean mass martyrdom for Syria’s Christians and the annihilation of the Alawites.

— Hassan Rouhani, the new prime minister of Iran, has gone on U.S. television to declare Iran is not only not building an atom bomb, it will never do so. And he has signaled

a willingness to prove it in return for a lifting of sanctions and readmission to the world community.

— A U.S.-Iranian meeting appears possible next week at the U.N., which could lead to direct negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program.

There is always a possibility an incident could turn the United States back toward the bellicosity of August and put the War Party back in the saddle. But there are reasons to be hopeful. And that hope is not based on some naive trust in the truth of what we are being told by our adversaries, but on what their own cold interests dictate.

Take Russia. A U.S. attack on Syria would surely lead to deeper U.S. involvement, the fall of Assad, the loss of her principal ally in the Arab world and her naval base at Latakia, and a loss of prestige at having been proven unable to protect her Syrian ally from the Americans.

A U.S. war on Assad’s regime could also mean a victory for Islamists and their capture of some of Assad’s chemical weapons, which could turn up in the Caucasus just in time for the Sochi Olympics.

Take Iran. She is suffering from the sanctions. Failure to do a deal on her nuclear program carries a rising risk the War Party will get its way and the United States will launch air and missile strikes, leading to a war in the Persian Gulf. No matter the damage this might do to America and the global economy, Iran could be set back decades. A breakup of Iran is possible, as Iraq is breaking up.

And what would an atom bomb do for Iran? The Saudis would acquire one, and the Israelis would put their hundreds on a hair trigger.

If America was not intimidated by thousands of nuclear weapons in Soviet silos and on Soviet submarines, does Tehran think an Iranian bomb is going to frighten the Americans out of the Gulf?

Take Syria. Assad wants to survive and emerge victorious from his civil war. That means no war with the United States. That means meeting the Americans at least halfway.

In short, the United States, Russia, Syria and even Iran have a cold interest in no wider war in Syria. Unfortunately, powerful forces across the Middle East, and right here in River City, believe they have a vital interest in bringing about just such a war.

LETTERS Every person has a right to have their vote counted & recorded To The Daily Sun, The City of Laconia held a Primary Election on Tuesday September 10 in Ward 5. Only the incumbent, Robert Hamel. was running for the City Council Seat for Ward 5 and had his name printed on the ballot. The Laconia Charter, Section 2:06 THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION states: “The printed municipal ballot shall contain the names of the two candidates for each office who received the highest and second highest number of votes in the primary election and no others.”

At the Primary Election Carol and David Gammon wrote in Tom Tardif for Ward 5 City Councilor. After reading the City Charter I went to City Hall on Friday September 13 and requested a copy of the Municipal Primary Election Results asking why Tom Tardif hadn’t won a spot on the ballot. The results showed Robert Hamel received 39 votes out of 47 votes cast but the results didn’t show any write-in votes. The Laconia City Clerk Mary Reynolds told me that Tom Tardif would have to request a recount but didn’t say it would have to be on that day, September 13th.

At that point Tom Tardif didn’t even know anyone had voted for him.

On September 16, Tom Tardif and myself went to City Hall to talk to Laconia’s City Clerk Mary Reynolds about Tom requesting a recount. The City Clerk said that she was advised that all recounts had to be requested by Friday, September 13. Tom filed the request anyway. We also requested a copy of the computed print-out of the election results. Contrary to the “Municipal Primary Election Results” which didn’t show any write-in votes for the Ward 5 Councilor seat, the “Election Results Report” showed 3 write-in votes.

On September 16, I received a call from Sylvia Metivier saying that she also wrote-in Tom Tardif for Ward 5 City Councilor, which accounts for the three write-in votes and awards Tom Tardif a spot on the ballot in November, if he wishes to accept.

This could be solved by talking to the Ward 5 clerks who signed the “Election Results Report, Primary Election Laconia, NH 9/10/13 for Ward 5”. The signatures of “Nancy Merrill, Alice Ortakalas and Sarah Weeks” were included.

Every person has a right to vote and have their vote counted according to the USA and New Hampshire Constitutions.

Let’s hold the press accountable for demonizing the Tea Party To The Daily Sun, Responding to a recent article entitled, “Tea Party Takes Aim at Alton Workforce Housing Initiative”, I am inspired to respond.

First of all, this title is WRONG. This meeting was a citizen forum of over 70 people strong, who came together to hear about Alton and workforce housing. This event was hosted by the Alton Business Association and was NOT a Tea Party event. To imply it was not an honest forum to discuss an important town issue is deliberately misinforming the public. Indeed, it was the Alton Town Planner, Ken McWilliams who requested this meeting! It had NOTHING to do with the Tea Party.

Now, the Tea Party has long been the “whipping boy” of the progressive left. The largest divisions of our government have demonized all liberty groups, as is the case with the current ONGOING IRS scandal. Using

plicit media, the ultimate goal is to marginalize CITIZENS VOICING THEIR CONCERNS against an everencroaching federal government into our local communities.

I agree with everything I have heard from the Tea Party movement. I am not a “member”. But, perhaps I will become one in the future. In the meantime, I suggest we hold our local press accountable to the standard of not participating in the lefts’ mission to marginalize and propagandize what is an honorable organization, borne of a grassroots movement against government overreach.

I invite all citizens who are interested, to join the Alton Business Association on Sept. 25, 6 p.m. at the Gilman Museum to discuss the issue of Workforce Housing in our communities. We welcome ALL discussion and hope to see you there.

LETTERS I urge parents to cautiously embrace Common Core & stay involved To The Daily Sun, Before succumbing to the misinformation surrounding Common Core, I urge everyone to simply go to the source and read for yourself what this curriculum does and does not include. Details including grade-by-grade standards can be found at www.corestandards. org (not commoncore.org or other variations). There is no doubt that America’s educational house is decaying and Common Core offers a starting point for producing a future generation that can compete on a global stage in math, science and technology. Common Core is the culmination of 20 years of efforts by business professionals, educators, and parents which has received support from the likes of Bill Gates, Jeb Bush, Dell Computers, Boeing, Intel, Microsoft, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Governors Association. The U.N. and Federal Reserve have nothing to do with this!

Set aside the fear mongering and read it for yourself. Common Core lays out an attainable, yet challenging set of educational objectives designed to produce a workforce that is able to compete in todays’ world of high tech and global competition. For example, please examine the mathematical standards set forth at www. corestandards.org. Mathematics, in particular, represent objective, timeless and necessary truths that apply uniformly and equally to any citizen regardless of political affiliation, geographic location, or age. Fractions mean the same in Iowa and Alabama as they do in California and Texas.

For my fifth grader this means setting

the goal of learning the basics of algebraic thinking, understanding fractions, geometric measurement and analyzing patterns and relationships (quoted directly from the curriculum guidelines). What is wrong with setting clear goals and objective that have been developed with the input of future employers like the companies mentioned above? Nothing.

Perhaps it is good that Common Core has been attacked by conservatives and progressives alike, but as the Alton School Board rejects Common Core it is worthwhile to note that according to the yearly NECAP Mathematical And Reading test results, Alton Elementary schools ranked 177 out of 219 in the state and fell 23 spots from the previous year. Meanwhile, Alton Middle Schools ranked 74 out of 126 and fell 15 spots in the same year.

Unless there is a better alternative that can be implemented immediately, I urge everyone with school-aged children to cautiously embrace Common Core, take an active role in your childs’ education and refrain from crying that “the sky is falling.” At the first sign of some subversive agenda you will be the first to know and you will be in the perfect position to shout to the rooftops with clear evidence of some Orwellian agenda. In the meantime, my hunch is that you may find your child is better prepared to take on the challenges of the 21st century.

After all, nothing is more powerful than an enlightened, engaged and enthusiastic parent in a childs’ life.

Town officials who are paid are public employees & should act as such To The Daily Sun, I had the privilege of attending the meeting that the Alton Business Association hosted on Wednesday, Sept. 18 in Alton on the topic of workforce housing. The meeting went very smoothly for the most part, until planning board member and belligerent narcissist Thomas Hoopes decided to talk. He gave his opinion, as was his right, which also took the opposite side of 98 percent of the room.

Another resident asked if he was there on behalf of the Planning Board or if he was speaking as an individual.

At this point, Hoopes proceeded to yell at the woman, declaring that he was speaking as an individual, stuck his finger in her face, and yelled for her to sit down. This behavior on his part caused an uproar, causing another resident to tell him that by being on the Planning Board, he works for the

residents of the town and he will not speak to his employers that way. He shouted back that he does not work for them, that he is a volunteer.

This is typical Hoopesie behavior, as has been noted in other letters to you and I can also attest to as I had my own personal run in with him at another public meeting I had attended. What Mr. Hoopes doesn’t understand is that he was elected to his position and therefore is an employee of the residents of Alton. If he receives payment for his service to the town, he is a paid employee. He is not a volunteer and should learn to conduct himself in the manner befitting an employee. If he cannot behave properly when speaking to his employers, he should step down or be removed from the board as his services are no longer needed.

This volunteer advocate gets to really know the child by meeting with them at least a month and also by speaking to the various adults involved in their life. Not only are the volunteers showing the child that there is an adult on their side who has so much hope for them and is striving to get them into safe and permanent home but they

interest in court proceedings; approximately every three months.

Unfortunately, we are not able to serve every child in need. We have some amazing volunteer advocates, but not enough to help all of the kids who need it.

LETTERS Corporations should respect will of the people & not run roughshod To The Daily Sun, I think the folks who read The Sun might be interested in my responses to an e-mail I received from Amanda Wilson, a Community Relations person for the Northern Pass. I think we need to consider what she wrote and my responses if we are to examine the situation in a sensible manner.

I have put sections of her e-mail in italics, followed by my comments.

Amanda: Thank you for your responses to my e-mail, but I think you missed many of my points (I am a professional ecologist with a PhD in LImnology): Hyropower Hydropower from Quebec is a clean, renewable energy source. The carbon dioxide (CO2) emission levels of HydroQuébec’s hydroelectric developments are 40 times lower than those of a natural gas power plant, are comparable to those of a wind farm (excluding the fossil plant emissions required to back up a wind generator when the wind is not available), and less than that for a photovoltaic solar facility. As noted in page 10 of our amended application to the Department of Energy (seehttp:// northernpass.us/assets/permits-andapprovals/northern-pass-amendedapplication-final.pdf ) other state and regional policies recommend importing Canadian hydro as an energy source.

Hydropower from Quebec is not a clean source of energy. To produce the hydropower, HydroQuebec had to drown huge region of Quebec. The

outcome of this was the destruction of huge areas of northern boreal forest, thus decreasing the amount of CO2 that would have been absorbed if the forests were there. Secondly, by drowning the areas for the reservoirs, there is now a net movement of metals out of the substrate and also from the atmosphere into the reservoir waters. This happens because for the most part the reservoirs are somewhat acidic and as a result dissolve the heavy metals and put them into solution. Down wind circulation brings mercury from other source areas and the mercury gets methylated and ends up in the water column of the reservoir. These metals get into the food chain and get passed up the food chain often bioaccumulating in creatures at the top of the food chain. As a result, it is not safe to eat the fish from many of the reservoirs in Quebec.

NH’s Power Need New Hampshire is part of the New England grid (along with Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island) and currently uses approximately 10 percent of the energy on the New England grid. ISO-New England, the operator of the New England grid, projects N.H.’s peak electricity demand will grow by more than 17 percent over the next decade. Additionally, ISO-NE is projecting 8,300 megawatts of existing power generation is at risk of retirement from the regional market by 2020 and New England will need to build at least 5,900 megawatts

to replace the energy from these retirements (see http://www.iso-ne.com/ pubs/pubcomm/pres_spchs/2013/ final_rourke_raab _061413.pdf ). The 1,200 megawatts of electricity from Northern Pass will ensure that at least part of the energy required to meet future demand will be clean, low-cost, and reliable. With NH currently relying on natural gas for the generation of more than 50 percent of its energy demand (which ISO-NE recognizes as a risk to grid reliability) the Northern Pass project will provide a source of energy that is low-cost, reliable, and less susceptible to cost volatility.

The power from HydroQuebec is not necessarily reliable. What happened in 1998 when the ice storm hit northern New England and Quebec?

Montreal was out of power for a substantially long period of time because of the damage caused by the ice storm to the transmission lines. We need to move from central distribution of power to distributed distribution of power if the region is going to be sustainable over the long haul. Many of us have already put photovoltaics and solar hot water on our roofs, thus decreasing demand for power. If a large majority were to do this (and the money being spent on the Northern Pass could probably fund a huge number of these projects) then the total demand will go down (check out what is happening in Germany). I realize that we are part of the grid, but as all the figures show, N.H. is exporting power at the present time. Therefore, the problem of power use is for the

folks in MA, CT, and NY to solve by decreasing their long-term demands and not relying on out of state sources of power that let them to continue to be wasteful in their energy usage. We also have a number of wind farms that are coming on-line and although the power from wind generation is not as reliable as from a coal or natural gas fired power plant, it is distributed power and not centralized. Also there are new innovations taking place not only in the way that we can grab wind energy, but also store it and smooth out the bumps. Check out what has happened in Denmark and Spain in terms of wind energy. Finally, another point; although reservoirs can regulate their flow (that is provide the flow needed to produce whatever the power demands are, the raising and lowering of the reservoir level wrecks havoc on the littoral area of the reservoir (just view some of the photos taken over the last decade of Lake Powell in Utah).

Northern Pass Underground Northern Pass is proposing to underground a small portion of the route. Although burying the entire Northern Pass line has visual appeal, there are several major obstacles that make this option technically impractical and cost prohibitive: the cost associated with underground burial of transmission lines is 5 to 10 times more expensive than overhead (see http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/ detail.cfm?id=7250); linear trenching required for underground burial see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 14, 2013 — Page 7

from preceding page involves more extensive and permanent disruption to the environment by limiting opportunities to avoid wetlands and other sensitive resources; underground construction would require the mobilization of large, heavy equipment (flatbed trucks and cable reels that are 12-14 feet high and weigh approximately 25 to 30 tons each) to remote locations along significant portions of the route; and underground lines have a shorter life span, take longer to repair, and have higher repair and replacement costs than overhead lines.

If underground is so costly, why is it the most of the new power lines in Europe and in some areas of the U.S. are now being put underground.

If building underground power lines is so complicated, how is it that the power produced on the South Island of New Zealand is delivered to the North Island via underwater power lines across the Cook Strait (I do realize that it is a great deal easier to lay power lines in water than on land, but I think it is a bit more awkward to repair the same lines than those on land). It seems like folks can drive from the Canadian border to the proposed end of the transmission lines.

Why would it be so tough to use the same network of road that take a car from the border to the end as a place to bury the transmission lines?

Although the roads might be somewhat remote, regular cars can travel them so it shouldn’t be a big deal for construction vehicles to carry supplies, etc. over the same network. As to cost, this is private enterprise that is carrying this project out. If private enterprise is unwilling to pay the extra

costs, then why should the citizens of N.H. subsidize private enterprise by allowing the company to construct a cheaper form of transmission line? Of course, if N.H. really doesn’t need the power, why should we subsidize the folks in the other New England states so they can get cheaper power? Burying the lines might cost them more, but they should be willing to pay the extra cost, rather than the citizens of N.H. paying the environment costs.

As to the drop in assessment values, I end with this example. If you buy a house next to a freeway, you do not pay full value. Because of noise and other problems, in many cases, the DOT moves in and builds a huge wall between you and the freeway to block out the view and to block out the noise.

Those houses are not ideal houses, but people will purchase them because the price is right. Is the northern Pass going to build a wall 70-100 feet tall adjacent to my property line which abuts the right-of-way with a mural Stinson and Moosilauke (my normal view)? They could even put tin foil in the wall the block the EMFJ. Corporations should respect the will of the people and not run roughshod over the people. This feels like HydroQuebec is running roughshod over us to make a profit of the sale of their surplus power. HydroQuebec has run roughshod over the citizens of Quebec.

Those citizens have had little control over what a quasi-governmental corporation has done to their province.

The company has drown too much of Quebec and we shouldn’t have to be the solution to their over-reaching plans.

OPEN/SHUT from page 2 down a week from Monday, administration officials say that without passage of legislation to allow more federal borrowing, the nation faces the risk of a first-ever default sometime in the second half of next month.

House Republicans intend to vote to raise the nation’s debt limit next week to prevent that from happening. But they have said they will include a oneyear delay in Obamacare in the measure to reinforce their determination to eradicate the program.

The same bill will include provisions to reduce deficits and stay the administration’s environmental agenda as the GOP seeks gains for its own priorities. Raising the cost of Medicare for financially better-off beneficiaries is one likely provision to be added, according to numerous officials. So, too, is a ban on federal regulations on greenhouse gas emissions.

Obama, who has said repeatedly he will not negotiate over debt limit legislation, called Boehner late in the day to tell him that directly. The speaker expressed disappointment, his office said, and responded that Congress “will chart the path ahead.” The White House said Obama also called House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi.

Obama responded in remarks before an audience at a Ford assembly plant near Kansas City, Mo. He blamed a “faction on the far right of the Republican Party” for threatening to shut down government operations or default on government debts. “They’re focused on trying to

mess with me,” he told plant workers.

“They’re not focused on you.”

Unlike other budget showdowns of the recent past, this one pits younger Republicans in the House against GOP veterans in the Senate, although not to the extent it does one party against the other.

Republicans are united in their opposition to the health care law, which they say will force the price of coverage higher and prompt employers to reduce work hours for workers.

But they disagree on how to attack it.

The bill that won passage on Friday was all but forced on Boehner and fellow House GOP leaders, who fear a repeat of the twin government shutdowns nearly two decades ago that inflicted serious political damage on Republicans.

Caution on the part of GOP elders was overwhelmed by tea partyaligned lawmakers, who were in turn responding to the urgings of outside groups and their allies in the Senate, Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah among them.

The vote in the House was almost completely along party lines, and the administration threatened in advance to veto the bill if it should pass the Senate as well. Among Democrats, only Reps. Mike McIntyre of North Carolina and Jim Matheson of Utah supported the measure. Virginia Rep. Scott Rigell was the only Republican voting against it.

The Republican rally in the Capitol afterward was unusual for its overtly political tone.

By Gail OBer

LACONIA — The jury trial of a Tilton man who was charged in January with one count each of aggravated felonious sexual assault and indecent exposure was postponed last week while the court considers a motion filed by his defense team regarding the actions of his accusers.

Thomas Gardner, 55, of Sanborn Road was arrested by Tilton Police on January 16 — about a week after two men, Joseph Ernst and Mark Corenti, reported to police they had seen him performing a sex act in his car on a disabled 20-year-old man while parked in a manufactured housing park off School Street in Tilton.

According to paperwork filed with the Superior Court, the defense said it has recently learned that Tilton Police officers investigated a reported theft at Sherryland Park four days later and the two men who reported Gardner for sexual assault were suspects in the alleged theft.

While being questioned about the alleged theft, one of the men is said to have told a Tilton Police Officer that if the police were to charge him with theft, he would refuse to testify in the rape he says he witnessed.

New filings also indicated that the officer who was investigating the reported theft from Sherryland Park was not involved in the investigation regarding Gardner’s alleged rape of the disabled man.

Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill had previously denied a motion filed by Gardner’s defense team to let similar evidence be presented to the jury. With the new information, Gardner’s defense team asked the judge to reconsider his earlier ruling and allow what they consider exculpatory evidence to be given to the jury.

Gardner’s defense team said it got the information on September 12, which was after jury selection on September 9. The court had already ordered the prosecution to provide any exculpatory evidence to the defense and, with this new information, Gardner’s defense team said in its motion it wants to pursue a different theory of the case — namely that Ernst and Corenti made up the story about Gardner and young disabled man because they were at the park unlawfully.

The state’s case is pretty cut and dry.

Police and prosecutors contend Gardner took the 20-year-old disabled man who was left in his care to Sherryland Park, where he had him perform a sex act. The victim is unable to communicate and, according to police affidavits filed in January, has two brain disorders, is autistic, and epileptic.

Ernst and Corenti told detectives they were at Sherryland Park looking for a mobile home that they thought was for sale. One of them said he went up to Gardner’s Volkswagen to ask him if he knew anything about the trailers.

The man said he initially thought Gardner was alone but when he went to his window he allegedly saw the two men engaged in a sexual act.

The men called 9-1-1 to report what he saw and gave police the license plate number of Gardner’s Volkswagen but his cell phone connection died.

The witness called police back about an hour later to report the same Volkswagen was now parked in the driveway of a house on Sanborn Road.

Police went to Gardner’s house and said he didn’t seem upset or defensive by what they were saying. He offered to take a lie-detector test so police would know he hadn’t done anything wrong. Affidavits also reflected that Gardner asked police what would happen to his accusers if police determined they were lying.

The court has denied the Gardner’s request for a lie-detector test to be presented to the jury.

Court filings show Corente has been convicted of two felony counts of driving after being deemed a habitual offender, one conviction for misdemeanor theft, one conviction for possession of heroin, and one conviction for bail jumping. The court ruled this evidence could be given to the jury if Corente were to testify against Gardner.

The same police affidavit said Gardner was initially reluctant to allow detectives to enter the home to make sure the disabled man was unharmed.

Gardner eventually did consent however police found the alleged victim to be so severely disabled they were unable to communicate with him.

Gardner told detectives he and the alleged victim had gone for a ride and had stopped at Sherryland Park to see if the view was different as some trees had recently be removed.

No date has been set for the motion hearing and new trial.

POPE from page 2 “throw-away culture” that justifies disposing of lives, and said doctors in particular had been forced into situations where they are called to “not respect life.”

“Every child that isn’t born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord,” he said.

He urged the gynecologists to abide by their consciences and help bring lives into the world. “Things have a price and can be for sale, but people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things,” he said.

Francis’ comments to Civilta Cattolica contained no change in church teaching, but they represented a radical shift in tone and stood in stark contrast to the priorities of his two immediate predecessors.

John Paul II and Benedict XVI were both intellectuals for whom doctrine was paramount, an orientation that guided the selection of a generation of bishops and cardinals who, in countries like the United States, have put themselves on the front lines in opposing abortion and gay marriage. They now find themselves being asked to preach see next page

Maggie Rushbrook (center and inset) is surrounded by just some of the many men and women she has served at Community Wellness Center who paid their respects when she retired yesterday (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

‘It’s been an honor & a privilege . . . Love, Maggie’

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “It’s hard to leave,” Maggie Rushbrook conceded yesterday, her last as head nurse at the Community Wellness Center at Normandin Square as she was showered with cards, flowers, food and gifts by those with whom she has shared the last decade.

“She is the heart beat of the Wellness Center,” said Lorraine Parkhurst of Gilford. “She has worked here heart and soul. If you had come her earlier, you wouldn’t have gotten in there were so many people here to say goodbye.”

In 2004, when LRGHealthcare announced it could no longer sustain the center, Rushbrook, together with John Allen, a retired minister of St. James Episcopal Church, led the effort to place it on a sound financial footing and in a suitable permanent home. With the support of generous clients, individuals and businesses as well as assistance from the hospital company, they raised the funds to purchase the space on the ground floor at Normandin Square Apartments while increased memberships defrayed from preceding page more to those who have fallen away from the church and offer them a compassionate welcome home.

Greg Burke, the Vatican’s senior communications adviser, insisted Friday that Francis was by no means calling into question the papacies and priorities of his predecessors.

“The pope is not condemning his predecessors,” Burke told The Associated Press. “What he is saying is ‘We’ve spent a lot of time talking about the boundaries. We’ve spent a lot of time talking about what is sin and what’s not. Now let’s move on. Let’s talk about mercy. Let’s talk about love.’”

operating costs. Since 2006 the center has operated as a self-supporting department of LRGHealthcare.

“Together we have turned a dream into a reality,” Rushbrook wrote high on a wall of the center. “The Center is an outward sign of an inward faith and determination. Thanks to all who believed!”

Rushbrook said that the center offers supervised exercise regimens designed to increase stamina and strength for individuals with a wide range of medical conditions that hinder their mobility. “We have people in their late 30s and one person 96 years old,” she noted. But, just as important as the physical exercise, she stressed, is the social camaraderie.

“They renew old friendships and make new ones,” she remarked. “if someone is missing, they’’ get a phone in the next day to make sure they’re okay.”

As one person after another said their goodbyes, Rushbrook said “it’s a roller-coaster around here. One minute you’re laughing and the next you’re crying.”

A message, penned on a whiteboard, read “if you love your job, you will never work another day in your life. It has been an honor and a privilege to care for and to care about you. Love, Maggie.”

Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Ireland’s most reform-minded Catholic leader, said Francis’ comments will be tough for the church to put into action because there is a tendency to get “trapped” into the right and wrong, white and black of Catholic teaching.

“It’s a way of thinking that will actually be very hard for the right and the left of the church, either of them, to accept,” he told RTE radio. But he said Francis wasn’t dismissing everything that has been taught to date.

“He’s saying let’s move in a different direction.”

Housing Authority will use block grant to plan improvements to Stafford House LACONIA — The Laconia Housing Authority (LHA) has been awarded two Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) planning grants by the Community Development Finance Authority (CDFA) in Concord totaling $24,000.

The first planning grant is to be used to examine the physical needs of the Stafford House, a 50 unit residential development at the corner of Church and Main Streets in downtown Laconia.

The CDBG funds, in conjunction with matching funds from LHA, will be used to perform an energy audit of the building and prepare a capital needs assessment of all of the other building systems. The results of the study will be used to prepare a CDBG implementation grant application to fund the building improvements. The new application for funding will likely be submitted to the CDFA in Janu-

ary of 2014. The planning study will be performed by the Resilient Buildings Group, a subsidiary of the Jordan Institute, from Concord.

The second planning grant will be used to analyze the space needs at the central office of the Laconia Housing Authority at 25 Union Avenue. The study, to be performed by the Laconia firm of Misiaszek Turpin, will examine the current office needs of LHA staff and make recommendations for the appropriate amount of office space and the optimal layout. Consideration will be given to utilizing the existing office space as well as other alternatives in the downtown area.

Laconia Housing Authority owns 311 units of service enriched housing for seniors and families in the greater Laconia area as well as administering 407 housing rent subsidies through the federal Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program.

Correction: ‘The Barn’ not open for public tours today Contrary to a statement printed in a story published in The Daily Sun on Friday, members of the public won’t be able to tour Dick Dearborn’s ‘’Barn’’ in Meredith today. Members of the

family say that the insurance policy covering the building and its contents precludes event from being opened to the public.

VOTES from page one each office shall advance to the general election in November.

Gammon claims that he, his wife and another woman cast write-in ballots for his friend, former mayor Tom Tardif, which would account for the three write-in votes for city council that appear on the computer printout. Election officials reported that Tardif received three of four write-in votes for ward clerk, but none for city council. If Gammon’s claim is confirmed, the City Clerk would be bound to offer Tardif a place on the ballot for the general election, which he could either accept or decline.

On the strength of advice from the city attorney, Laura Spector-Morgan, City Clerk Mary Reynolds advised Gammon and Tardif that five registered voters could petition the New Hampshire Secretary of State to conduct a recount before the second Friday after the election, which fell yesterday. But, when Tardif met with Deputy Secretary of State David Scanlan on Thursday, he was told that this process applied only to questions, not

candidates, on the ballot and advised him to approach the Superior Court.

Yesterday Gammon submitted a petition with the signatures of 10 registered votes and asked the court to set aside the the reported results of the primary election in Ward 5 and direct the City Clerk to “schedule a recount or review of the three writein ballots.” Alternatively, he suggested the court review the ballots to identify who received the second highest number of votes in the primary election and therefore, qualified for the general election. He also asked the court to instruct the clerk not to print the ballots for the general election until “the irregularities in the conduct and reporting” of the primary election are resolved. Finally he asked the curt to award him “out of pocket expense for having to correct the results of the Ward 5 primary election results.”

Meanwhile, Tardif has not decided whether or not to run in November in the event that a recount confirms that he polled the second highest number of votes for City Council.

BLACKBERRY from page 2 according to FactSet. The company’s expected adjusted loss of 47 cents to 51 cents per share falls far below the loss of 16 cents per share projected by Wall Street.

BlackBerry said it wants to slash operating costs in half by the first quarter of 2015 so cutting its global headcount to 7,000 total employees is necessary. The company let 5,000 people go last year.

“We are implementing the difficult, but necessary operational changes announced today to address our position in a maturing and more competitive industry, and to drive the company toward profitability,” Thorsten Heins, President and CEO of

BlackBerry, said in a statement.

The BlackBerry, pioneered in 1999, was the dominant smartphone for on-the-go business people and other customers before Apple debuted the iPhone in 2007. Since then, BlackBerry Ltd. has been hammered by competition from the iPhone as well as Android-based rivals like Samsung.

In January, the company unveiled new phones running a revamped operating system called BlackBerry 10. The much-delayed touchscreen Z10 and keyboard Q10 were designed to better compete for customers and rejuvenate the brand. But the phones failed to turn the company around.

Ryan Newman wins pole for Sunday’s NASCAR race with record breaking lap

LOUDON (AP) — Ryan Newman used a trackrecord lap to fuel his run at a championship.

Newman set the New Hampshire Motor Speedway qualifying record with a lap of 136.497 mph to win the pole and headline a top 12 loaded with Chase drivers for Sunday’s race.

Chase for the Sprint Cup championship drivers filled 10 of the top 12 spots Friday. Kasey Kahne was second and joins Newman on the front row, Jeff Gordon was third and Kurt Busch fourth for what will be the second Chase race.

Joey Logano qualified sixth, Kevin Harvick was eighth, series points leader and last week’s winner Matt Kenseth was ninth, and Greg Biffle starts 10th. Jimmie Johnson is 11th and Kyle Busch 12th.

Martin Truex Jr. starts fifth the same week he found out NAPA was dumping sponsorship of his Michael Waltrip Racing No. 56 car after the racefixing attempts at Richmond earlier this month.

“This is definitely not the time of year you want to find out that you really don’t have a ride next year,” Truex said. “It’s going to be tough, but we’ll have to deal with it and figure it out.”

Truex did qualify for the Chase with NAPA last season, finishing 11th in points, and was in contention for the final Chase wild card berth at Richmond while driving with a broken wrist.

He got a new cast this week and still doesn’t know if he’ll need surgery at the end of the season.

The Chase moves on Sunday to New Hampshire, where NASCAR has a 13-driver championship field for the first time since the title-deciding format began in 2004.

Newman is eighth in the standings, certainly within striking distance of Kenseth. He won his second pole of the season and 51st in 432 career Cup races. Newman won from the pole this season at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Newman, who is leaving Stewart-Haas Racing for a 2014 ride with Richard Childress, has three career wins at New Hampshire.

“This track is the birthplace of track position,” he said. “It is really difficult to pass. Having a good pit selection, having all those things we’ve had to many times before (helps). Last time we were on the pole here, we led a lot of laps and won. I’m hoping we can

duplicate that again.”

The rest of the Chase field saw Clint Bowyer start 16th and Dale Earnhardt Jr. 17th. Earnhardt is 13th in the Chase standings and was disgusted on the grid after his poor lap.

“The car just hadn’t been turning well and the front end is a bit of a handful,” he said.

NASCAR would love for the talk of the sport to return to racing and the Chase and not the scandal that rocked the sport. NASCAR took the unprecedented step of adding Gordon as a 13th driver and booted Truex from the field.

Gordon, a four-time champion, was sixth in Chicago and has four straight top-10 finishes to work his way up to seventh in the standings.

“We are in it and we want to show everyone why we are in it,” Gordon said. “I think we had the last three races leading into Chicago. We were pretty good, but previously in the season we just have had our struggles. We have had missed opportunities and it’s hard to always put your finger on what exactly has caused those things.”

from preceding page to lag its rivals.

BlackBerry said last month that it would consider selling itself. The Waterloo, Ontario-based company reiterated Friday that a special committee of its board of directors continues to evaluate all options.

It also seemed to say Friday that it would shift its focus back to competing mainly for the business customers most loyal to its brand. The company said it

plans to focus on offering only two high-end devices and two entry-level handsets going forward, with emphasis on the enterprise market.

BGC analyst Colin Gillis said he couldn’t understand why BlackBerry would release the earnings late Friday, a week early. “Did you really need to do it 3:15 p.m. on a Friday? Couldn’t you have just waited a week?” Gillis said. “This is the quarter where the wheels really fell off the bus.”

The decline of the BlackBerry has come shockingly fast. Just five years ago, when the first iPhone came out, few thought it could threaten the BlackBerry.

Now the very fate of the company is in question with some saying it is over for BlackBerry.

Blackberry, formerly known as RIM, was once Canada’s most valuable company with a market value of $83 billion in June 2008, but the stock has plummeted since, from over $140 share to less than $9.

The raid and it’s subsequent fallout led to Drew having his liquor license suspended by the N.H. Board of Liquor Commissioners at the request of selectmen. The commission held an inquiry into charges that included that he allowed his business to be used for unlawful activities. The liquor violation stemmed from activities witnessed by members of the DTF. After a three-day hearing before the Liquor Commission in July of 2012, Drew — who is the holder of the liquor license Mardi Gras North was operating under — was exonerated of the most serious charge of allowing his business to be used for unlawful activities.

The commissioners found him responsible for over-serving a patron — for which he received the three-day suspension and a $150 fine; for having an employee consume alcohol while working — for which he was fined $100; and for giving away a free

During this time, selectmen revamped the town’s live entertainment ordinance and included a provision that the holders of liquor licenses must be the operators of a nightclub in order to have live and/ or adult entertainment. Owners are not allowed to lease the club to a different entity.

The ordinance also requires buildings where there is live entertainment to undergo a safety inspection by the town’s fire chief and code enforcement officer.

The police chief will determine if uniformed officers will be required. All uniformed officers are paid for by the holder of the permit. The Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion at Meadowbrook is an example of a live entertainment permit holder being required to provide uniformed police officers at its events.

After he made substantial upgrades to the building and after closing for his three-day license suspension, Drew reapplied for a live entertainment license in late July of 2012 but selectmen voted 2-to-1 to given him his requested license but only if he excluded near-naked dancers.

He stayed open for a while but for the past year the club has been closed.

Red Sox clinch AL East title

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox clinched the AL East title on Friday night, getting seven strong innings from Jon Lester to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-3 and eliminate Tampa Bay from the division race.

One night after securing their first playoff appearance since 2009, the Red Sox added their first division title since ‘07. Boston entered the night with a magic number of one — meaning the next Red Sox win or Rays loss would clinch the division.

Lester (15-8) allowed one run on five hits and two walks, striking out eight to win for the seventh time in nine decisions. It was his 100th career victory.

Toronto pinch-hitter Adam Lind hit a two-run homer off Junichi Tazawa in the eighth to make it 5-3 before Koji Uehara got five outs for his 20th save.

With the crowd standing for most of the final inning, he struck out Brett Lawrie to end the game and the Red Sox poured out of the dugout and bullpen.

Dustin Pedroia had three hits for the Red Sox, who have won 19 of their last 25.

Toronto starter Esmil Rogers (5-8) did not make it out of the third inning, allowing two runs on three hits and five walks and striking out two while getting only seven outs.

The Red Sox took the lead early when Pedroia doubled to lead off the first inning, went to third on

a fly ball and scored on a wild pitch. Boston had runners on first and second with nobody out but Mike Carp lined out to the shortstop and David Ortiz was thrown out at the plate when he tried to score from second on Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s single.

Daniel Nava doubled to lead off the third inning and, after intentionally walking Ortiz, Rogers walked two more to make it 2-0. Chad Jenkins came in and got Saltalamacchia to hit into an inning-ending double play.

Toronto loaded the bases with nobody out in the fourth on a walk, an error by third baseman Will Middlebrooks and a single. But Middlebrooks fielded Anthony Gose’s chopper, stepped on third and threw home to get Kevin Pillar in a rundown for a double play. Lester struck out J.P. Arencibia to end the inning.

Rajai Davis singled, stole second and third and scored on Lawrie’s single to make it 2-1 in the fifth.

But Neil Wagner gave up four straight singles to start the seventh, including an RBI single by Ortiz to make it 3-1.

Jeremy Jeffress came in and got Mike Napoli to ground into a shortstop-to-home-to-first double play.

But Mike Carp hit a line drive to left-center that made it 5-1. After Lind made it 5-3, Pedroia added an RBI single in the eighth.

Dartmouth installs 18th president, Philip Hanlor, ‘77 HANOVER (AP) — Dartmouth College on Friday inaugurated its 18th president, a 1977 alumnus who most recently served as provost at the University of Michigan.

Philip Hanlon was inaugurated at a sun-splashed Friday afternoon ceremony in Hanover. He previously served as the chief academic officer at Michigan.

Hanlon, who was born in the upstate New York town of Gouverneur, succeeds Jim Yong Kim, who left Dartmouth in 2012 to become president of the World Bank. Kim was among the speakers at Friday’s ceremony and presented Hanlon with the Wentworth Bowl, a silver vessel that signifies the change in leadership.

Other speakers Friday included New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan and University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman.

Hanlon is the 10th Dartmouth alumnus to serve as its president and the first since the David McLaughlin, class of 1954, served from 1981-87.

Also helping out at Carey House was Elaine Cartier, senior director for patient care at LRGHealthcare, who was working on the flower beds.

She said that there were several others from LRGHealthcare helping out and that she was pleased to be working outdoors on a meaningful community project. ‘’It’s a great day to be out and I don’t mind getting my hands dirty,’’ one bit.

Dartmouth is the smallest of the eight schools that comprise the Ivy League, with about 4,200 undergraduates.

Hanlon, 57, taught mathematics at the University of Michigan, where he had been on the faculty since 1986. He plans to continue teaching mathematics at Dartmouth.

After earning his bachelor’s degree from Dartmouth, Hanlon got a doctorate from the California Institute of Technology in 1981. He was an instructor of applied mathematics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

HIKER from page 2 Appalachian Mountain Club, Mountain Rescue Service, Fish and Game and others worked on a small, wet treacherous ledge to treat Paquette and get him onto the helicopter in an attempt to save his life.

The helicopter left the mountain shortly before 8 p.m. and Paquette to Memorial Hospital in Conway, where he was pronounced dead.

The 4.2-mile trail from a visitor’s center to the summit is popular, but challenging. At a certain point, the trail turns from wide and rocky to narrow and steep on the ascent.

The Mount Washington Observatory said the steepest and roughest part of the climb ascends the “headwall” of the ravine, an area that is typically wet.

“While thousands travel this trail each year without incident, the trail ascends a cliff, and travel off the trail would bring you over a precipice with disastrous results,” the Observatory’s website says.

The interior is warm and inviting and its decorations are representative of Wolfeboro and its surrounding lakefront area.

Located in such close proximity to Lake Winnipesaukee, environmental impact was a top priority in building design.

DAK dedicates Meredith building to Gary Coyne Correction: Bach

performance is Saturday

MEREDITH — DAK Financial Group LLC., dedicated its recently remodeled building here last month in a ceremony at which David Kutcher, founder and owner, dedicated the new building as a great tribute to his late friend, T. Gary Coyne.

Kutcher said Coyne had inspired him and his wife with the dream that the DAK building could be a place for retirees and pre-retirees to come and get planning assistance.

Reverend Scott Mitchell of the New Hampton Community Church spoke of Gary’s unique spirit and someone who epitomized the entrepreneurial spirit. Most importantly, he loved life and was larger than life. Judy Coyne, mother of the late T. Gary Coyne, was presented with a key to the building and unveiled a portrait of her son that will hang inside DAK, in his memory. State Senator Jeanie Forrester (R-Meredith) cut the ribbon to the building and a light lunch was served.

LACONIA — The headline that appeared above an article in yesterday’s paper provided an incorrect date for a musical performance at the Taylor Community. “Back to Back Bach,” performed by Vladimir Svoysky, will be tonight, September 21, at 7 p.m.

The event is free but pre-registration is required.

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

Lakes Region Waterfront Sales Report August was a great month for waterfront sales on Winnipesaukee with a whopping 23 transactions. There were six sales over the $1 million mark, but a large number of low end sales brought the average sales price down to $731,396. That brings the total sales for the year thus far to 84 at an average price of $884,570 compared to 81 sales at $945,453 for the same period last year.

The highest sale on Winni for the month was at 46 Veasey Shore Road in Meredith. This contemporary, Adirondack style home was built in 2009 and has 5,856 square feet of living space to get lost in.

The great room features wood cathedral ceilings, a wall of stone encompassing the fireplace, and a wall of windows to take in the view which also leads out onto expansive decking. The custom kitchen, a four season porch, and a master suite round out the main living level. The second level has en-suite bedrooms and a loft while the lower level walk-out has a family room with a fireplace, game room, and an additional bedroom. The home sits on a 2.68 acre lot with 250’ of frontage with great long range views, a u-shaped dock, and a bunkhouse at the water’s edge. This home had been on the market for around three years with a starting price of $3.85 million and finally sold in “as is” condition for $1.8 million. The current assessed value is $1.91 million.

The home representing this month’s median price point of $600,000 is located at 37 Indian Shore Road in Alton. This is a 1975 vintage, 1,872 square foot, three bed, two bath home with outstanding views. The house sits on a .46 acre lot with 100’ of frontage and has a covered U-shaped dock. This was the first time this property was offered for sale and the $650,000 list price definitely caught someone’s attention as it was only on the market for 28 days before selling at the $600,000 mark. It is currently assessed at $640,400.

Once again, an island property takes the entry level lowest price award. A “cute, cute” one room cabin that is said to contain all the necessities one could want or need at 286 Sleeper Island in Alton gets the honors. I’ll have to take the agent’s word that it is cute as there were no pictures on-line. This is truly a place to become one with yourself. You

may have no choice as it has 192 square feet of living space, but there is a deck that provides additional space to spread out when necessary. There is a separate shed for an incinolet toilet (that’s electric, folks) and, as one would expect, the water source is the lake. But hey, it sits on a half acre lot with 100’ of frontage. It was listed at $198,500 and sold after only 20 days on the market for $190,000! Its current assessment is $153,100. I think it was the incinolet that really sealed the deal...

There were three waterfront sales on Winnisquam in August bringing the total so far this year to 10 sales at an average price of $498,750. That equals the 10 sales last year at an average of $499,100.

That’s pretty coincidental! The largest sale for the month was at 35 Lakeside Drive in Sanbornton.

This home was being offered for the first time by the original owner and was in pristine condition. Built in 2003, it has 3,260 square feet of living space, four bedrooms, three and a half baths, hardwood floors with radiant heat, granite, tile, beautiful woodwork, a finished walk out basement, and fantastic views across the broadest part of the lake. The house sits on a quarter acre, nicely landscaped lot with 100’ of frontage and dock. This home was offered originally at $889,000, was reduced to $830,000, and sold for $793,000 after 194 days on the market. It is currently assessed at $657,600.

There was one sale on Squam in August which occurred at 471 High Haith Road in Center Harbor.

This 2,892 square foot residence was built in 1983 and sits on a 13.4 acre lot with 850’ of frontage. Not a lot of other info and no internal pictures were provided in the MLS. I guess we’ll have to guess about how nice this place is but as it sold for $3.65 million I assume it was probably more than OK...what do you think?

Meeting to discuss well-being of NH’s economy GILFORD — Starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, September 30 at the Gilford Public Library, 31 Potter Hill Road, Gilford, the Lakes Region Planning Commission (LRPC) is convening a meeting that will feature a presentation on the well-being of the NH Economy and areas where new opportunities may await.

Economic conditions in the Lakes Region are influenced greatly by demographic and economic factors elsewhere in the state and throughout New England. According to some, the economic drivers such as, consistent population growth, increased productivity, and a resilient economy that have powered the state over the past 30 years may have run their course. Researchers say that due to reasons such as more people leaving than staying, decreased labor productivity, and an aging population will require the state to adapt to a new economic reality for years to come. Joining the LRPC to expand upon this theme and the implications for the region and communities is Dennis Delay, chief economist from the NH Center for Public Policy Studies.

Along the theme of economic development, the

LRPC recently completed a draft comprehensive economic development strategy (CEDS) for the Lakes Region, in cooperation with area economic development councils. The CEDS is to serve as a roadmap for increased economic opportunities, and to qualify projects for possible funding assistance from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. Commissioners will be asked to endorse the plan in addition to accepting the FY 14 Annual Report, and adopting the FY 15 membership appropriations and revised organizational Mission and Vision statements.

All LRPC meetings are open to the public. For additional information or special accommodation, contact the LRPC: 279-8171 or lrpc@lakesrpc.org.

WOLFEBORO — The acclaimed saxophone foursome, Capitol Quartet, will bring their concert music, both jazz and classical, to Wolfeboro Friends of Music second concert of the 2013-14 season on Saturday, October 5 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held at Village Players Theatre, 52 Glendon Street, Wolfeboro.

Heralded for their “musical versatility and innovative style,” the Capitol Quartet consists of Christopher Creviston, soprano saxophone; Joseph Lulloff, alto saxophone; David Stambler, tenor saxophone; and Andrew Dahlke, baritone saxophone. Since its formation in 1991 the quartet has earned accolades as masters in both ensemble and solo performance.

They have appeared with such prestigious orchestras as the Baltimore Symphony, Cincinnati Pops, Indianapolis Symphony, Rochester Philharmonic, Windsor [Ontario] Symphony Orchestra and the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa.

In August 2013 Joe Lulloff took a saxophone part in the Chicago Symphony (Ravinia) performance of Ravel’s “Bolero.” Stambler has just released his CD titled “Newbach Rock.” Dahlke can be heard playing clarinet and saxophone on dozens of nationally broadcast radio and television commercials. Creviston performs on either alto or soprano sax, in duo with pianist Gruber-Creviston, first at Carnegie Hall in 2007, now in the U.S. and abroad.

Singly, the quartet members hold faculty positions at prestigious music schools in Arizona, Michigan, Colorado, and Pennsylvania and are dedicated to mentoring their students in the multi-faceted performance possibilities of the saxophone.

There are resources available on-line but sometimes it’s helpful just to sit and talk with someone who is already homeschooling, so we organized this event to give people that chance” said coordinator Linda Smith “Our panel includes homeschoolers who use a variety of methodologies to educate their children.”

Nationally more than one million children are homeschooled but getting started can be daunting. There are many decisions to make when getting started. “We are fortunate in New Hampshire as our laws give parents a lot of flexibility to tailor an educational experience specifically for their child but because of that flexibility getting started can be overwhelming.” said Linda “The purpose of the forum is to give parents new to homeschooling and people thinking of homeschooling the information they need to make the necessary decisions.”

Merrimack River Atlantic salmon Streetcar Company working on ‘Wait restoration effort winds down Until Dark’ for Nov. performances CONCORD — A hopeful era drew to a close on September 5, when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced that, facing federal budget cuts and stubbornly low annual returns of searun Atlantic salmon, it will end its investment in the more than 30-yearlong Atlantic salmon restoration in the Merrimack River watershed.

Things had looked promising as recently as 2011, when more than 400 Atlantic salmon made their way to the Essex Dam Fish Lift in Lawrence, Mass. But in 2012, just 137 searun salmon returned, and this year, as of July 10, 2013, only 22 returning salmon had been observed.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ended its Atlantic salmon restoration in the Connecticut River in 2012. In both the Connecticut and Merrimack rivers, salmon returns have been limited because of poor ocean survival, inriver habitat degradation, and dams that impede migration.

“We would prefer to continue the program, but the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department cannot take on the costs associated with a salmon hatchery operation,” said Glenn Normandeau, Executive Director of the N.H. Fish and Game Department. He noted that the US Fish and Wildlife Service will continue to focus on restoration of Atlantic salmon in the Saco and other Gulf of Maine rivers, the last remaining wild Atlantic salmon in the country.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-

vice has worked cooperatively with the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, the Massachusetts Division of Fisheries and Wildlife, National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S. Forest Service to raise and stock Atlantic salmon for the Merrimack River at two hatcheries: Nashua National Fish Hatchery in New Hampshire, and North Attleboro National Fish Hatchery in Massachusetts.

“This was a hard decision, but the science tells us that there is little chance that we will successfully restore Atlantic salmon to the Merrimack,” said Wendi Weber, the Service’s Northeast Regional Director. “While the science is driving our decision, our declining budgets hastened it. We need to prioritize. With the lack of success, we need to shift our scarce resources to priority restoration efforts where we can make a difference.”

The Merrimack River Policy Committee and the Service will look to the Merrimack River Technical Committee to develop a plan for what happens next, including plans for stocking the last of the Merrimack salmon remaining at the two hatcheries, and options for continued Atlantic salmon monitoring in the river.

Though the Atlantic salmon program is winding down, work on other anadromous fish species, those that migrate between fresh and salt waters, will continue in New Hampshire. “We’re going to continue work see next page

LACONIA — The cast and crew of The Streetcar Company’s upcoming presentation of Frederick Knott’s Wait Until Dark are hard at work preparing for the show’s November opening. The suspense-thriller, familiar to most from the 1967 movie starring Audrey Hepburn, will be presented at Laconia High School Friday through Sunday, November 1st to the 3rd.

After well attended auditions in August, director Rick Morten has assembled a cast of veterans and newcomers that include Nerrishia Bodwell as Suzy Hendrix, Rodney Martell as Mike Salman, Rick Kincaid as Sgt. Carlino, Brendan Berube

as Harry Roat Jr., Ray Feola as Sam Hendrix and Sophia Joyal as Gloria.

Producer Jenn Schillinger is working with the production staff to fine tune the behind the scenes arrangements that help pull the show together. Some of those heading up the various positions include Frank Stetson, assistant director/stage manager, Peter Ayer, organizing props, Erin Fitzmaurice, house manager and Nerrishia Bodwell, costumes.

There is still help needed in several capacities and anyone interested in helping is encouraged to contact the producer at producer@streetcarcompany.com.

JONATHON

This handsome Boxer boy travelled 2, 126 miles to find a loving home in New Hampshire.

We found a new shelter partner to work with in from San Antonio Texas – Jonathon was lucky enough to be chosen to escape a high-kill environment for cool crisp breeze, mountain air and lake side walks in the Granite State.

Of course, there are a few proviso’s prior to adopting Jonathon, a rather exuberant 8 month old. Are you familiar with the Boxer breed and aware of how incredibly active they are until old age finally sets in?

You must be committed to ongoing puppy training, preferably in place by the time you sign the adoption papers. Jonathon is motivated to learn – wants your attention but is happy to test the boundaries to get what he wants.

Are you the calm assertive pack leader he needs?

Ideal home with teens and folks who are as active as he is, no cats please, he finds them irresistible!

Come and see Jonathon and spend some time with him.

Ford test drives on Appalachian Teen Project holds annual barbecue Thursday raise funds for Laconia High School LACONIA — Irwin Automotive is bringing Ford Motor Company’s Drive 4 UR School program to the Laconia community in an effort to raise up to $6,000 for Laconia High School. For every person who takes the wheel and test-drives a new Ford vehicle Thursday, September 26th at Laconia High School from 3-7pm, Irwin will donate $20 to Laconia High School. The funds will be used to help contribute to the new Athletic Field.

Since the start of Ford’s Drive 4 UR School program in 2007, more than $16 million in donations have been generated for high schools nationwide.

“We know funding for school programs is hard to come by, and we want to do our part to help make sure these programs remain available,” said Chris Irwin, Vice President of the Irwin Automotive Group.

“We’re excited to raise money for a new athletic field for the students of Laconia High School.”

The event will feature various Ford vehicles, from the fuel efficient Fusion to the electric C-Max. The Irwin Ford friendly staff will be on site and available to answer any questions and provide additional information about each vehicle available for test-drive.

Participants must be 18 or older and have a valid driver’s license. There is a limit of one test-drive per household. All test-drives will last approximately 7-10 minutes.

Kim Bruneau joins Old Mill Properties in Bristol

BRISTOL — Kim Bruneau has joined the sales department of Old Mill Properties, it was announced by Lorna Platts, owner of the real estate brokerage office at 507 Lake Street, Bristol.

Prior to joining Old Mill Properties, Bruneau has been in early childhood education and has worked summers at Shackett’s Store. Currently Kim is dividing her time between Old Mill Properties and her work in the mental health field.

Originally from New Bedford, Massachusetts, she has lived in the Newfound Area for the past 20 years and is enthusiastic about everything that the Lakes Region has to offer.

Community and church activities have been an important part of Bruneau’s life. She has been president of St. Timothy Women’s Club of Holy Trinity Parish, is a member of the Granite State College Alumni Learners Association Board and is a volunteer for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). In her spare time she enjoys outdoor activities, fitness, reading, traveling and spending time with her family. from preceding page to improve habitat and upstream fish passage for migratory fish species such as American eels, shad and river herring, and these efforts will improve conditions for any migrating Atlantic salmon that may return to the Merrimack after all these years of stocking,” said Normandeau.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has already begun to shift resources toward higher priority restoration efforts, such as American shad. Both Nashua and North Attleboro National Fish Hatcheries raise shad that are stocked in rivers from New Hampshire to Rhode Island.

“Shad numbers are up considerably and offer some real potential for angling success going forward,” said Normandeau. As of July 10, more than 37,000 shad had passed the Essex Dam Fish Lift and headed up the Merrimack River.

Appalachian Mountain Teen Project (AMTP) participants, families and staff met at Ellacoya State Park on Sunday, September 8, to celebrate a summer jam-packed with adventure and service-learning trips. Families and participants engaged with one another, met the new staff, “circled up”, and reflected on how AMTP has made an impact on the lives of their children. One parent reflected that AMTP has helped her son form new, healthy relationships with peers both in and out of the program. Another reflected on the tremendous amount of growth and maturity he’s seen in his son during his first year as an AMTP participant. The AMTP Annual BBQ takes time to celebrate AMTP teens as they prepare for a new school year, and reinforces the motto: “Strong Communities Through Strong Youth”. (Courtesy photo)

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

ions. Loved ones don’t expect or want you to agree on every point, but they will be hurt if you don’t at least listen to their views.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Someone is thinking about the future while you’re still trying to figure out the moment -- it’s a relationship out of sync. To get back into a relationship groove, either you need to speed up or the other person needs to slow down.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You want to connect with successful people, but their success doesn’t matter nearly as much to you as how they interact with you. When it comes to relationships, it’s your personal evaluation, not the world’s, that matters.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 21).

Romance isn’t just a feeling you have about another person; it’s a way of life. This year is a celebration of beauty and affection. An encouraging group of friends will help you make a career shift in October. Stash your November bonus; you’ll need it for a major purchase in August. New pets arrive in December. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 1, 22, 38 and 18.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The moon gives you an energetic boost that’s better than anything you could buy in a bottle, mug or to-go cup. You’re physically stronger than yesterday, and the odds are with you for winning at sports.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The philosopher Cosino DeGregrio said, “Beware the flatterer: He feeds you with an empty spoon.”

Of course, if you’re very hungry, you’ll accept the placebo effect and eat it right up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If there’s one thing you do not lack, it’s complexity. You’re multidimensional and will interest others on many different levels. No one, not even you, knows all of you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Being overly concerned with what’s appropriate only makes everyone feel uptight. If you’re too agreeable, you’ll shortchange all the zippy fun that happens when you’re edgy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As if saying the right thing at the right time weren’t tricky enough, saying nothing at the moment that tempts you to state the obvious truth of the matter takes superhuman good taste.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People think highly of you and will seem to have overblown opinions of your abilities. Don’t modestly disqualify what they think and say, because they could be right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re in a competitive mood, but if you compete with a partner, you’ll either lose for winning or lose for losing. It will be better to play games with acquaintances or strangers.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re sensitive to different environments and will match your conversation accordingly. Some people aren’t as good at this as you are, which is why you’ll be the guardian of social flow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your fire-sign tendencies will be amplified at the start of the day when emotions will run hot.

But the evening hours cool things down with a breezy sense of detachment and a playful mood.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be encouraged to air some of your strong opin-

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 21, 2013— Page 25

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Sept. 21, the 264th day of 2013. There are 101 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 21, 1912, magician Harry Houdini first publicly performed his so-called Chinese Water Torture Cell trick at the Circus Busch in Berlin, escaping after being immersed upside-down in a vertical water tank, his ankles secured in a set of stocks which made up the tank lid, which was locked into place.

On this date: In 1792, the French National Convention voted to abolish the monarchy.

In 1893, one of America’s first horseless carriages was taken for a short test drive in Springfield, Mass., by Frank Duryea, who had designed the vehicle with his brother, Charles.

In 1897, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial, written anonymously by Francis P. Church, which declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”

In 1912, legendary cartoon animator Chuck Jones was born in Spokane, Wash.

In 1937, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published by George Allen & Unwin Ltd. of London.

In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives.

In 1948, Milton Berle made his debut as permanent host of “The Texaco Star Theater” on NBC-TV. In 1962, “The Jack Paar Program,” a weekly, prime-time show that followed Paar’s stint on “The Tonight Show,” began a three-year run.

In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21.

In 1982, Amin Gemayel, brother of Lebanon’s assassinated president-elect, Bashir Gemayel, was himself elected president. National Football League players began a 57-day strike, their first regular-season walkout.

In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted owners to hire replacement players.)

In 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, S.C. (the storm was blamed for 26 directly caused U.S. deaths). Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, involved in a collision with a soft-drink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit.

Five years ago: “Mad Men” became the first basic-cable show to win the top series Emmy; “30 Rock” and its stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin won comedy awards. The United States took back the Ryder Cup with a 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory over Europe. Baseball said farewell to the original Yankee Stadium as the Bronx Bombers defeated the Baltimore Orioles 7-3.

One year ago: No one was injured when a plane carrying Ann Romney made an emergency landing in Denver after smoke filled the cabin. The wife of the Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was traveling from Omaha, Neb., to Los Angeles, when an apparent electrical fire broke out. A man was bitten multiple times after leaping from a monorail into a tiger exhibit at the Bronx Zoo. People lined up to buy Apple’s iPhone5 as it went on sale in the United States and several other countries.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife of 50 years told me that a longtime friend has called her twice trying to have phone sex. I exploded! She told me not to say anything because it would ruin our friendship with this couple.

I confronted him anyway and told him he disrespected my wife, me and all women in general. He did not deny what he had done. Frankly, I can’t blame him too much, considering his wife of 50 years.

Still, as far as I’m concerned, he totally crossed the line, and our friendship is over. My wife, however, continues to associate with both of them. What do you think? -- Mad in the Bluegrass Dear Mad: We think you threw out quite a zinger about the man’s wife. We don’t care what she is like. It doesn’t justify his hitting on another woman, especially one who is married to a good friend. That’s a double betrayal.

We will give him one possible excuse, however. If he’s been married for 50 years, he is probably in his 70s or older, and it’s possible he is displaying early signs of dementia, which include loss of inhibition and personality changes. Please suggest he see his doctor for a checkup. As long as your wife has no interest in this fellow and wants to remain friends with his wife, it’s probably OK. If you notice changes in that direction, however, don’t hesitate to address it.

Dear Annie: I’d like to add my two cents about whether parents treat their children the same.

Mom, Sis and I live equidistant from one another. Sis still lives near the place where we grew up. Mom moved to a warmer climate. We call each other every weekend to catch up and stay in touch. Sis and I fly to visit Mom about once a year.

Mom visits Sis and her family a few times a year. But de-

spite the many invitations I have extended, she will not visit me. When I had heart surgery five years ago, Mom did not come. When I was hospitalized for pancreatitis, Mom did not come. Of the 25 stage plays I’ve appeared in, Mom came to see exactly one. She will never see the home my wife and I remodeled. It seems the things that are important to me don’t matter much to her.

I suppose there is a certain amount of validity in her excuse that there’s nothing that interests her in my city, but when we visit our son and his family, we don’t care whether there is anything to do. We are simply glad to be with them.

Does Mom love me? Certainly. Does she love me as much as my sister? Probably. Does she treat us the same? Judge for yourself. -- That’s My Lot in Life Dear Lot: We wish your mother could better appreciate what you are offering. So many parents write us saying their kids have no interest in being close. We suspect Mom simply feels more comfortable around her daughter than her son and daughter-in-law. It’s not uncommon. But it is unfair of her to penalize you for it. Keep in mind, traveling may become more difficult for Mom as time goes on. But until then, please tell her how you feel and ask her to make a greater effort to participate in your life. We hope she will.

Dear Annie: Tell “Lonely for Friends” to check the women’s clubs in her area. These are national philanthropic organizations that contribute time and money to various worthy community causes. The more involved I became the more people I met. It is an opportunity to do good while making friends.

I am sure “Lonely” would be welcomed into her local club.

She can check online at www.gfwc.org to locate one in her area. -- Been There, California
