Police say heroin found on man who ran from downtown traffic stop

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A local man was arrested by the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department yesterday afternoon and charged with two counts of possession of narcotics after he fled from a car involved in a routine traffic stop at 4 p.m.

Sheriff Craig Wiggin said Joseph D. Mor-

rissette, 23, of 205 Court Street ran from the sheriff’s deputy who chased after him.

The driver of the car apparently drove away.

He said Deputy Justin Blanchette caught up with Morrissette in the municipal parking lot off Main Street and Morrissette refused to obey his commands to stop.

Morrissette resisted arrest and Blanchette used pepper spray to try and subdue

him. When Morrissette refused to cooperate, Blanchette zapped him with his Taser stun gun.

Police said they found heroin and cocaine in Morrissette’s possession.

Morrissette is charged with one count each of possession of heroin and cocaine, one count of possession of narcotics with see HeROIn page 6

Mostly anti Northern Pass crowd turns out for hearing in Plymouth

By Mike MOrtensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

PLYMOUTH — A crowd comprised largely of opponents to Northern Pass urged federal officials last night to reject the $1.6 billion electric transmission line project that would run 186 miles through the state, including parts of the picturesque and largely unspoiled North Country.

Elected officials and private citizens commented at the public hearing about the project’s impact on the state’s economy and scenic beauty. The 635seat Hanaway Theater at Plymouth State University was filled almost to capacity for the first part of the hearing. But more than half left after the first hour of public input.

State Sen. Jeb Bradley had a blunt recommendation for officials from the federal Department of Energy and other agencies. “The clear message in this (environmental impact see Pass page 8

Yet another car-bicycle collision just north of Lakeport Square

LACONIA — A bicyclist was taken by ambulance to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries yesterday after colliding with a car on Union Avenue at 4 p.m.

The accident occurred just north of Lakeport Square.

The bicyclist, identified by police as Cameron Lobo, 24, of Gilford was riding on Union Avenue when he collided with a southbound automobile that was turning left on to Harrison Street. The driver of the car was identified as Samantha Farricy, 24, of Harrison Street.

Fire Lt. Jason Bean said a Lifeline ambulance — a private ambulance company — happened to be on Union Avenue at the time and said their people kept the man still until crews from the Laconia Fire Department arrived.

The front end of the man’s bicycle was damaged and the tire appeared to be bent.

99-year-old Iowa woman gets high school diploma

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) — A 99-yearold Iowa woman who dropped out of a high school more than 80 years ago despite needing only one credit to graduate has finally received her diploma.

Audrey Crabtree, of Cedar Falls, smiled Monday as she received an honorary diploma for her time at Waterloo East High School.

“And I feel so much smarter,” Crabtree quipped.

Crabtree, who began her education at a oneroom school house in northeast Iowa, left high school in 1932 due to a swimming and diving accident that forced her to miss several school days. She also had to care for her sick grandmother.

“I was a senior, but I was short a credit, so I would’ve had to go back the next fall,” she told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

That would have interfered with her plans to marry her first husband. In 1957, the couple bought the flower shop where Crabtree had worked after their two children started school. But her husband died of a heart see DIPLOMA page 9

Kenyan president says Muslim terrorists defeated NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Kenya’s president proclaimed victory Tuesday over the terrorists who stormed a Nairobi mall, saying security forces had “ashamed and defeated our attackers” following a bloody four-day siege in which dozens of civilians were killed.

President Uhuru Kenyatta said the dead included 61 civilians whose bodies have been recovered so far and six security forces, while some 175 were injured, including 62 who remain hospitalized.

Three floors of the mall collapsed and

several bodies were trapped in the rubble, said Kenyatta. His office later said a terrorist’s body was among those in the debris.

Five other extremists were killed by gunfire and another 11 other suspects had been arrested, he said; authorities had previously announced the arrest of seven at the airport and three elsewhere.

“These cowards will meet justice as well their accomplices and patrons, wherever they are,” Kenyatta said, in a televised address to the nation.

Kenyatta, 51, has visited wounded sur-

vivors in hospital and made other emotionfilled speeches about the terrorist attack, which has been the harshest test of his leadership since he became president in April.

“Fellow Kenyans, we have been badly hurt and feel great pain and loss. But we have been brave, united and strong,” said Kenyatta, the son of the country’s founding president, Jomo Kenyatta. “Kenya has stared down evil and triumphed.”

Texas senator vows to speak against Obamacare until he falls WASHINGTON (AP) — Tea party conservative Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday vowed to speak in opposition to President Barack Obama’s health care law until he’s “no longer able to stand,” even though fellow Republicans urged him to back down from his filibuster for fear of a possible government shutdown in a week.

“This grand experiment is simply not working,” the Texas freshman told a

largely empty chamber of the president’s signature domestic issue. “It is time to make D.C. listen.”

Egged on by conservative groups, the potential 2016 presidential candidate excoriated Republicans and Democrats in his criticism of the 3-year-old health care law and Congress’ unwillingness to gut the law. Cruz supports the House-passed bill that would avert a government shut-

down and defund Obamacare, as do many Republicans.

However, they lack the votes to stop Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., from moving ahead on the measure, stripping the health care provision and sending the spending bill back to the House.

That didn’t stop Cruz’ quixotic filibuster. Standing on the Senate floor, with see FILIBUSTER page 10

Earthquake in Pakistan New Iranian president makes debut on world stage kills 39 as houses collapse QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) — Thousands of Pakistanis ran into the streets praying for their lives Tuesday as a powerful earthquake rocked a remote area in the southwest, killing at least 39 people and possibly creating a small island off the coast.

The Pakistani military said it was rushing troops and helicopters to Baluchistan province’s Awaran district, where the quake was centered, and the nearby area of Khuzdar. Local officials said they were sending doctors, food and 1,000 tents for people who had nowhere to sleep as strong aftershocks continued to shake the region.

Most of the victims were killed when their houses collapsed, according to the chief spokesman for the country’s National Disaster Management Authority, Mirza Kamran Zia, who gave the death toll.

He warned that the toll might rise and said the agency was still trying to get information from the stricken area.

“We all ran out for safety in the open field in front of our house. Many other neighbors were also there. Thank God no one was hurt in our area, but the walls of four or five houses collapsed,” said Khair Mohammed Baluch, who lives in the town of Awaran, roughly 50 kilometers (30 miles) south of the epicenter.

Pakistan’s chief meteorologist and the U.S. Geological Survey put the magnitude of the quake at 7.7.

Pakistani officials were investigating whether the earthquake was so powerful that it pushed up the earth and formed a new land mass.

Witnesses reported seeing a small island appear off the coast of the port of Gwadar after the quake, said the director general of the Pakistan Meteorological Department, Arif Mahmood.

Gwadar Police Chief Pervez Umrani said people gathered on the beach to see the land mass, which was about 9 meters (30 feet) high and 100 meters (109 yards) long.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iran’s new president told world leaders Tuesday that the biggest danger in the Middle East is chemical weapons falling into the hands of “extremist terrorist groups” in Syria and he blamed the countries backing the opposition for fueling the civil war there.

The comment by Hasan Rouhani, in his first speech to the United Nations General Assembly, closely mirrored language used by the Iranian-allied Syrian regime, which refers to the opposition as terrorists. The U.S. and its allies, including Gulf nations Saudi Arabia and Qatar, have been supplying the Syrian opposition with weapons, aid and training.

Rouhani praised Syria’s willingness to accept the international treaty barring the use of chemical weapons. And without naming nations, he warned that the “illegitimate and ineffective threat” to use military force in Syria “will only lead to further exacerbation of violence and crisis in the region.”

Just a few weeks ago, President Barack Obama was considering launching a military strike on Syria to retaliate for a chemical weapons attack on Aug. 21 that the U.S. blamed on Bashar Assad’s regime. But a U.S.-Russia deal to put Syria’s chemical weapons under international control averted military action, at least for now.

Even as he sided with the Assad’s regime, Rouhani also sent signals that Iran might be ready to negotiate with the West on its disputed nuclear program and talk to the United States after decades of frozen relations. He said “peace is within reach.”

Rouhani spoke hours after Obama also addressed the General Assembly, saying the U.S. prefers to resolve its concerns over Iran’s nuclear program peacefully but is determined to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon.

Obama said he was “encouraged” that Rouhani received a mandate from the Iranian people to pursue a more moderate course, but added that “the diplomatic road must be tested.” Rouhani’s “conciliatory words will have to be matched by actions that

are transparent and verifiable,” Obama said.

Rouhani called his election over the summer a “wise choice of hope, rationality and moderation” and said every issue can be resolved through mutual respect and rejection of violence and extremism.

He is considered a relative moderate amid the hard-line clerics who control Iran. But Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei holds the real power, deciding all important matters of state including the nuclear program.

Elements of Rouhani’s speech were reminiscent of the anti-American rhetoric of his predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He was critical of how America projects power and called for a new world order without the U.S. as a superpower.

Like Ahmadenijad, Rouhani called for a new world order and criticized “the persistence of Cold War mentality and bi-polar division of the world into ‘superior us’ and ‘inferior others.” He criticized “the prevalent international discourse” that favors rich countries over poor.

This has led to the prevalence of “violent forms of xenophobia,” Rouhani said, adding that “propagandistic and unfounded faith-phobic, Islamo-phobic, Shia-phobic, and Iran-phobic discourses do indeed represent serious threats against world peace and human security.”

There had been some expectations that with both Obama and Rouhani addressing the U.N. on the same day, the two might meet briefly and even exchange handshakes and pleasantries — something that may have been seen as a dramatic step forward in relations that have been frozen since Iran’s 1979 Islamic revolution That didn’t happen.

But Rouhani said he listened to Obama’s speech to the General Assembly and is open to talks.

“Commensurate with the political will of the leadership in the United States and hoping that they will refrain from following the short-sighted interest of warmongering pressure groups, we can arrive at a framework to manage differences,” he said.

Talk to the man from Iran In the fall of 1956, Nikita Khrushchev threatened to rain rockets down on London for the British invasion of Suez and sent his tanks into Budapest to drown the Hungarian Revolution in blood. He blew up the Paris summit in 1960, banged his shoe at the U.N., and warned Americans, “We will bury you!” He insulted John F. Kennedy in Vienna, built the Berlin Wall, and began secretly to place missiles in Cuba capable of annihilating every city in the Southeast, including Washington.

Those were sobering times and serious enemies. Yet in the Eisenhower-Kennedy years, living under a nuclear Sword of Damocles unlike any the world had ever known, we Americans were on balance a cool, calm and collected crowd.

How then explain the semi-hysteria and near panic in circles of this city over the possibility President Obama might meet with President Hassan Rouhani and hold negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program?

We hear talk of Hitler in the Rhineland, of a new Munich, of America failing to act as Britain failed to act, until, back to the wall, it had no choice but to fight. The old Churchill quotes are heard once again.

But is the Ayatollah Hitler? Is Rouhani von Ribbentrop? Is Iran the Fourth Reich? Should we be very very afraid?

Iran, we are told, is the most dangerous enemy America faces. But is this true?

Depending on one’s source, Iran’s economy is 2 to 4 percent of ours.

After oil and gas, its big exports appear to be caviar, carpets and pistachio nuts. Inflation is unbridled and Iran’s currency is plummeting.

Here is the New York Times last month: “Rouhani’s aides describe Iran’s economic situation as the worst in decades. ... The signs of woe abound. Lacking money, Iran’s national soccer team scrapped a training trip to Portugal. Teachers in Tehran nervously awaited their wages, which were inexplicably delayed by more than a week.

Officials warned recently that food and medicine imports have stalled for three weeks because of a lack of foreign currency.”

Should Iran start a war, the sinking of its coastal navy would be a few days’ work for the Fifth Fleet.

Its air force of U.S. Phantoms dating to the Shah and few dozen MiGs dating to the early 1990s would provide a turkey shoot for Top Gun applicants. In 30 days, the United States could destroy its airfields, missile sites and nuclear facilities, and impose an air and naval blockade that would reduce Iran to destitution.

And Iran is not only isolated economically. She is a Shia nation in a Muslim world 90 percent Sunni, a Persian nation on the edge of a sea

of 320 million Arabs. Kurds, Azeris, Arabs and Baluch make up close to half of Iran’s population. War with America could tear Iran apart.

Why then would Tehran want a war — and with a superpower?

Answer: It doesn’t. Since the 1979 revolution, Iran has attacked no nation and gone to war once — to defend herself against Saddam Hussein’s aggression that had the backing of the United States.

In that war, the Iranians suffered the worst poison gas attacks since Gamal Abdel Nasser used gas in Yemen and Benito Mussolini used it in Abyssinia. Iran has thus condemned the use of gas in Syria and offered to help get rid of it.

Last year, Iran’s departing president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who frightened so many, made a simple logical point about Iran’s supposed bomb program: “Let’s even imagine that we have an atomic weapon, a nuclear weapon. What would we do with it? What intelligent person would fight 5,000 American bombs with one bomb?”

Yet, still, the beat goes on. “There is no more time to hold negotiations,” says Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Yuval Steinitz, Iran is only six months from developing an atom bomb. Yet the New York Times reports Monday, “American intelligence experts believe Iran is still many months if not years away from having such a weapon.” Time to clear this up.

Congress should call James Clapper, head of national intelligence, and pin him down publicly on these questions: Has Iran made the decision to build an atom bomb? Does Iran even have all the ingredients for a bomb?

If Iran made a decision to build a bomb would we know about it? And how long would it take for Iran to build and test a nuclear device?

Americans were misled, deceived and lied into one war. Let’s not follow the same crowd into another.

Obama is being urged not to meet with Rouhani, as the man has a checkered past. Yet U.S. presidents met three times with Stalin, three with the Butcher of Budapest, once with Chairman Mao. Compared to these fellows, Hussein Rouhani looks like Ramsey Clark.

Query: If Iran has the scientific and industrial capacity to build a bomb — and all agree it has — what could conceivably be the reason Iran has not yet done so?

Perhaps, just perhaps, Iran doesn’t want the bomb.

Talk to the man, Mr. President.

LETTERS There are 3 federal statutes which prohibit nationalized curriculum To The Daily Sun, Common Core is a national school standard curriculum backed by Microsoft’s Bill Gates and other progressive educational groups. While Common Core pretends to put children’s learning first, it is really an attempt to nationalize education, placing each child into a GOVERNMENT-backed education system. Everything in Common Core is geared toward building and serving a progressive society and identifying the individual within that society. Common Core is about the “collective” not the “individual”. Here are a few reasons to not support Common Core: 1. Assessment drives this program and assessments are all computerized. This EXPENSIVE undertaking will come to our communities via our rising tax bills.

2. While officials will tell you it is a “rigorous” program, many in the teaching field, at all levels, say the Math and English components are significantly lower than today’s educational standards. In fact, two members of the original task force who put Common Core into place have since taken to traveling the United States voicing their opposition. They refused to sign off on Common Core specifically because it LOWERED the bar of education of our youth.

3. Informational texts will take overtake literature in the English component — students will be instructed/ taught as cogs in a government managed machine. This is not a good thing for developing our children’s independent thinking skills. Information texts

may teach a “skill” but they do not teach a multidimensional approach of learning.

4. Assessments and teaching will include “data collection” which has some real privacy issues. Collecting personalized information on both behavioral and academic criteria on our children and making that data available to federal, state and outside contractors is a serious breach of expectations of privacy and the law. If anyone tells you this is NOT part of Common Core they are simply not informed — it is indeed a significant part of this progressive movement in education.

5. There are no fewer than three federal statues which prohibit a nationalized curriculum. Our country has a system which prohibits top-down education. We have local school boards who are accountable to the voters.

We should allow the school boards’ to assist in the process of determining a school’s curriculum at the LOCAL LEVEL. This concept is turned upside down with the implementation of Common Core.

I invite you to look at www.truthineducation.com. On this site you will see Stop the Common Core Video Series. Much information is offed at this site. Alton deserves a “hat’s off” for standing for LOCAL CONTROL in education. We will work together to bring a higher standard of learning to our students in Alton. TOGETHER — IN ALTON. Not from Washington.

Please do not tell her that I have told you but she has

been at Pizza Hut for 32 years wow.

So please everyone who has enjoyed her company and service over the last 32 years, go in and let her know that you will miss her as much as I will.

LETTERS Let’s spend time to explore what’s best for Briarcrest tenants To The Daily Sun, I have just completed 19 years as a tenant at Briarcrest and feel the need to join the fray. After learning about the owner’s retirement and plans to sell I felt that everyone deserves time to really enjoy life. Change is usually difficult for all involved. Some can find it an adventure, others too scary to contemplate.

The sale to an Orlando firm saddened me and then the Hometown America firm out of Chicago was even more frightening, with the vastness of their holdings and once the Internet was consulted, most especially Hometown America.com/complaints. It also appeared that they did not have any mobile home park rent less than $500 per month.

I was relieved that we had an alternative and that the State of New Hampshire had an organization that would help us acquire the park. My belief is that organizations governed by people living in close proximity to the area and owners with a vested interest would care more about our well being than anyone else could. If anyone in the park had a problem, large or small, our neighbors would be our first to help. We have many single tenants, some elderly, with a fixed income that find rising costs in every area of life reaching a point that they can no longer keep up. The burdens continue to grow unabated. The caliber of the tenants in Briarcrest is such

that it is hard to envision our park in deep decline as some have suggested.

To have the ownership and the governing body in charge made up of intelligent caring individuals working hard for themselves as well as the other tenants at Briarcrest as well as the fact that the monies generated by the park will stay in our park, our city, our county, our state makes a lot of sense to me. Our governing bodies will benefit as well as our schools, city government, stores, businesses, professionals and the environment. Within a few years the monthly rents will level and possibly stay the same for a while. This you will never see with outside ownership.

Their only concern is profits.

The owner’s organization has been busy gathering information for all the services now provided, estimates have been provided and bids have been received. These officers are doing all this work free of charge on their own time because they are concerned for all of us. We should all be willing to spend a small amount of time to ascertain what is best for all the tenants of Briarcrest. With this much of our lives at stake, a second opinion needs to be researched. An informational meeting is scheduled outlining the many benefits of tenant ownership of the Park and financial viability. We can all respectfully agree or disagree, having the facts should help the process.

Sun’s report on workforce housing meeting was very accurate To The Daily Sun, Last Saturday’s Daily Sun published a letter, “Let’s hold the press accountable for demonizing the Tea Party,” written by Alton’s elected State Rep. Jane Cormier. Rep. Cormier ran on a Conservative platform and overwhelming defeated her opponent in the general election, 2035-1054. She has been faithful and consistent in voting the conservative line at the Statehouse. She merits credit for delivering on her campaign promises.

Her being a conservative and me being a liberal of course translates into me almost never agreeing with her political positions. Now I find myself in further disagreement with her characterizing The Daily Sun’s reporting of “deliberately misinforming the public.” No such thing occurred in Michael Kitch’s reporting, “Tea Party takes aim at Alton workforce housing initiative,” which ran on September 20’s Daily Sun’s page one.

I have had a bit of experience in journalism and thus able to judge that Kitch’s report was thorough and accurate, and the editor’s headline properly summed up the “theme” of the meeting.

Yes, Cormier’s letter was correct that the

event was hosted by the Alton Business Association (as Kitch reported) and was “NOT a Tea Party event.” I agree that it was not a Tea Party event -- it’s just that a super-majority of the questions and comments from the floor were from persons expressing a Tea Party perspective. Even though the Tea Party did not host or sponsor the meeting, it ended up being a “Tea Party Event” by all those who raised their hands to speak.

I would not say that the media “demonized the Tea Party.” The media described what took place at the meeting.

For those readers who would like to judge for themselves, I suggest they view the recorded portion of the meeting which is currently showing on LRPA’s Channel 26 and a DVD is available for loan at Alton’s Gilman Library.

Bob Longabaugh Alton Bay (Editor’s Note: The meeting in question was indeed hosted by the Alton Business Association but it was also posted by the Lakes Region Tea Party as a “meeting” of their organization as well. That Tea Party meeting notice was published in The Daily Sun on Sept. 13 (page 22).

Inter-Lakes School Board sits down for discussion with high school student council

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — For the first time in living memory, the Inter-Lakes School Board met with representatives of the high school student body last night when they hosted a roundtable discussion with members of the Student Council.

Chairman Richard Hanson of Center Harbor explained that the board had begun reaching out to its different constituencies by holding its second meeting of the month in a different one of the three towns of the district — Meredith, Center Harbor and Sandwich. While a student, senior Robert Euler, has a non-voting seat on the board, he said that hosting the Student Council presented an opportunity to sound a broader crosssection of student opinion.

“The rules,” began Superintendent Mary Ellen Ormond with a smile. “We don’t see this as gripe session. It’s a dialogue. You can’t complain about a teacher,” she continued. Turning to her administrative team, she remarked “you can’t complain about me. We’re going to have a conversation.” She reminded everyone there were pizzas, drinks and cookies, then said “tell us what’s working and what’s not working so well.”

John Findlay, president of the Student Council and three-sport athlete, drum major and accomplished student, immediately questioned the scheduling of classes, which he said has left him with difficult choices between mathematics and Spanish while shrinking rehearsal time for the band. He was echoed by Trevor Colby, who also wanted to take more courses than fit his schedule.

Ormond reminded them that between his classes, sports and activities he probably did not reach home much before 7 p.m. and, allowing an hour to shower and eat, began his homework at 8 p.m. and did not not get to sleep much before 10:30 p.m.

Findlay agreed, noting that he knew CYCLISTS from page 2 County District Attorney Jim Reams.

Hess had been stopped on the same road eight hours before the crash and ticketed for driving without a license.

Hampton Police Chief James Sullivan said the officer in that stop followed policy when he issued her an appearance ticket then allowed a friend to pick her up and drive the car away. from preceding page We have set up a fund at TD Bank in Alton and would like the town and surrounding community members to know how they can help.

of students who rose at 3 a.m. to complete their homework for the day.

“We can make the schedule what you want,” Ormond said, but explained that in a relatively small school with declining enrollment any system of scheduling was bound to pose hard choices for curious, ambitious students. She suggested that online learning or even taking classes offered at schools in neighboring communities might expand the range of opportunities.

Ormond asked the students what could be done to bring more spirit into the school. Findlay said that there have been dances and movie nights, but suggested more activity like homecoming or winter carnival that engaged all students. Euler proposed drawing up a list and inviting the students to vote their preferences.

When it was the board’s turn to question the students, Mark Billings said he wanted to assign them a “task,” namely to address “texting and driving.” He confessed that “we don’t know the rules of the digital world as well as you do.”

Colby cautioned that “scare tactics” would have little effect, but Euler disagreed. He recalled a scenario in which, unknown to the student body, two or three well-known, popular students became victims of a mock accident that interrupted the school day.

He said that students were “shocked” and the effect was profound.

Howard Cunningham, vice-chairman of the board, asked if electronic devices distracted students. Findlay said that teachers permit students to use their devices to find information in class, but conceded that some students simply took the opportunity to text friends.

When the discussion closed, the students shook hands with members of the board, who along with Ormond were pleased with the outcome of the roundtable, which promises to become a staple of the board’s proceedings.

“It’s unfortunate that the incident happened the next day but the officer had no way of knowing that,” Sullivan said.

Reams would not say if Hess’ license had been suspended, only that she did not currently have a New Hampshire driver’s license.

Police believe the car belonged to a friend of Hess’. Reams said there isn’t any evidence yet to suggest charges could be leveled against the friend.

The crash killed two Massachusetts women, Pamela Wells, of South Hamilton, and Elise Bouchard, of Danvers.

Two other riders were injured.

“Every one of these kinds of events are a tragedy,” Reams said.

All four charges are felonies that bring a maximum of up to 7 years in prison upon conviction. Bail was to be set Tuesday night and Hess is expected to be arraigned Wednesday morning, Reams said.

He did not immediately know if she had a lawyer.

LRPA television urged to look at streaming on-demand programming online

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Members of the board of directors of Lakes Region Public Access television held a freeranging discussion of the organization’s future at last night’s meeting as they grapple with changes which will be coming next year when a new 10-year contract, still being negotiated with MetroCast Cablevision, takes effect.

No clear picture emerged of that future, as only three of the eight board members were present, but there were indications that LRPA may be headed in the direction of a web-based, on-demand delivery for all three of its channels, 24 (education), 25 (public) and 26 (government) and sees the first six months of 2014 as a time of transition and opportunity.

One of the major changes, already taking place, will see local communities handling broadcasts specific to their community only, which will be aired on Channel 26.

Board member Kent Hemingway, superintendent of schools in Gilford, wasn’t at the meeting but sent an e-mail in which he said that the current model of public access cable television produced, scheduled and delivered to homes is rapidly becoming extinct. ‘’On demand media will rule the airwaves and will be delivered to every mobile device wherever and whenever the user wants,’’ he wrote, noting that the shift does not yet reach all households or consumers.

Board member Joe Jesseman of Tilton said he agreed in part with Hemingway’s analysis but noted that LRPA-TV still has an obligation to elderly view-

ers who are not Internet savvy and rely on cable. He said that there will need to be a mix of approaches in order to satisfy traditional viewers.

LRPA Chairman Ken Curley of Northwood said that one thing which will be lost as the local government channel is devoted solely to one community is the opportunity for viewers to compare what is happening in other communities with approaches being taken to similar problems in their own town.

Curley and LRPA station manager Denise Beauchaine said that lack of regional programming on Channel 26 could be addressed by LRPA on Channel 25, which will be the regional channel for all of the towns. ‘’The towns will find it difficult to run their own programming and will find out that you can’t do it with a laptop computer,’’ said Beauchaine.

Curley said that the towns will find there are high overhead costs and that it is labor intensive to provide programming that local viewers will want to watch and that an opportunity exists for LRPA to dominate the local government news niche, even if it means sending volunteers of their own to tape the meetings.

Curley said the board will have to make a decision on additional personnel and equipment if it wants to move in that direction and said the board will call a special meeting sometime in the next month in order to reach a decision on what its future business plan will be.

Prior discussions have centered around a fee for service model which takes into account the changes in recent years which have seen towns retain a

large portion of the franchise fees they receive from MetroCast rather than turn it over to LRPA-TV, which they are not obliged to do.

Beauchaine said that prior to the recent recession 13 municipalities, including the 11 in Belknap County, contracted with LRPA-TV and paid their agreed upon share the station’s overhead. However, the number of contracting municipalities has shrunk to a half-dozen — Alton, Belmont, Gilford, Meredith, Laconia and Northwood — which Beauchaine said share less than a third of the franchise fees they collect from MetroCast with LRPA-TV. Also deferred by the board due to the lack of quorum at last night’s meeting was a proposal see next page JAR from page one every day in their restaurant so a dog was out of the question.

“We just don’t have the time,” she said.

Undeterred, Jet came up with the idea of raising money for the Humane Society by putting a “swear jar” on the bar. Every time one of his mother’s patrons curses, he or she has to put some money in the jar for the Humane Society.

The goal was to raise $200 for the Humane Society and one of Yan’s regular customers said he would match up to $200 if Jet and his “swear jar” could raise that much money.

Yan said she too would match Jet’s $200.

Last Sunday night, some young people stole the money from Jet’s “swear jar.”

Jet said he was visiting with some of his mother’s patrons and saw the two men, who he said were accompanied by a young woman, hovering near the jar. The next thing he knew, the folding money was gone from the jar and so were the three customers.

The jar was clearly marked as a fund-raiser for the Humane Society.

“I was angry, mad, and kind of sad,” said Jet when asked how he felt about the theft.

Yan said she reported the theft to the police but all she really wants is for the two men who took the money to return it.

“We just want the money for the animals,” she said. “And to give back to Laconia.”

Yan said her family has been in Laconia for 25 years and the community has been so good to them that they wanted to do something for Laconia and the Humane Society.

Yan also said she wants her son to understand the idea of helping others and giving back to society.

She said winter is a particularly hard time for the Humane Society and the money was going to buy blankets, paper towels, food and toys.

Jet, who is a fourth-grader at Holy Trinity School, said he also learned a lesson about honesty.

“The teachers tell me to be honest and these people were not honest,” he said.

NORTHERN PASS from page one statement) needs to be this: Bury the lines,” the Wolfeboro Republican said to thunderous applause.

Many of the Northern Pass opponents who spoke last night called for the entire line to be buried, and not just 8 miles in northernmost Coos County as Northern Pass officials are now proposing.

Northern Pass supporters said the project would benefit the state’s economy by bringing in jobs, creating additional tax revenues in communities through which the line would run, and would provide an environmentally acceptable way to meet growing electrical demand.

“If consumers want power when they most need it, then Northern Pass is certainly part of the answer,” said state Rep. Leigh Webb of Franklin. “The demand for energy will never decrease.”

There is significant support for Northern Pass in Franklin because a relay/conversion facility is planned for that community that would add considerably to the property tax base.

Two other public hearings on the project are scheduled — one this evening in Whitefield and another on Thursday evening in Colebrook.

Lower Liberty Hill cleanup plan to be detailed tonight GILFORD — Officials of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) and GEI Consultants, Inc., representing Liberty Utilities, will present plans for removing the toxic coal tar burried on Lower Liberty Hill Road at an informational meeting at Town Hall this evening, beginning at 6 p.m.

Michael McCluskey of DES said yesterday that earlier this year the agency approved the approach proposed by GEI on behalf of Liberty Utilities, the last of several corporate successors to the firm responsible for dumping the coal tar in 1952 fol-

lowing the explosion of gas plant in Laconia. He said that GEI will outline the scope of the project and schedule of work, which has been estimated to require trucking approximately 45,000 cubic yards of tainted soil from the site and returning a commensurate volume off clean fill to it over the course of two construction seasons.

McCluskey said that GEI recently submitted its plan to DES for its final approval in anticipation of putting the work out to bid in the coming weeks and starting work in the spring of 2014.

Crabtree operated Flowers by Audrey for 28 years.

She married two more times and outlived both husbands. Her family today includes five grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Despite Crabtree’s professional and family success, those around her had noted her dissatisfaction with not finishing school.

“She had voiced quite a while back the one regret she had in life was that she never had gotten her diploma,” said Shelley Hoffman, Crabtree’s granddaughter.

Hoffman contacted Waterloo Community Schools and helped arrange the diploma ceremony.

Family and friends surrounded Crabtree as the current principal of East High handed her a diploma during an education board meeting.

“I wouldn’t advise anyone to drop out,” she said. “I just have to say in my life the Lord has been so good.”

Crabtree was given a copy of her last report card and memorabilia from her time at the high school, including a jacket and homecoming pins. She also received more than 100 handmade congratulatory cards from middle school students.

FILIBUSTER from page 2 conservative Sen. Mike Lee of Utah nearby, Cruz talked about the American revolution, the Washington establishment, his Cuban-born father and the impact of the health care law.

As his talkathon entered its fourth hour, a few senators joined Cruz on the Senate floor, including Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, both of whom have been mentioned as possible presidential candidates. Cruz yielded to them for questions but did not give up his time controlling the debate.

“It is my hope, my fervent hope, that the voices of dissension within the Republican conference will stop firing at each other and start firing” at the target of the health care law, Cruz said, a clear acknowledgment of the opposition he faced.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and the GOP’s No. 2, Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, opposed Cruz’ tactic, and numerous Republicans stood with their leadership rather than Cruz. Sen. John Thune, the third-ranking Republican, declined to state his position.

“I think we’d all be hard-pressed to explain why we were opposed to a bill that we’re in favor of,”

McConnell told reporters. “And invoking cloture on a bill that defunds Obamacare, it doesn’t raise taxes, and respects the Budget Control Act strikes me as a no brainer.”

McConnell told rank-and-file senators privately and reporters publicly that the GOP should not speak as long as the rules permit on the legislation, for fear it would give them little time to try to turn the political tables on Democrats or to avoid a possible shutdown.

Delaying tactics could push a final vote into the weekend, just days before the new fiscal year begins on Oct. 1. That would give Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and House Republicans little time to come up with a new bill.

McConnell told reporters that if the House doesn’t get a Senate-passed bill until Monday, lawmakers there would be in a tough spot.

“Delaying the opportunity for the House to send something back, it seems, plays right into the hands of Senate Democrats,” Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said. “If I’m Harry (Reid), what I’d hope would happen is you wait until the very last minute to send something over to the House.”

Look Sharp!

By Michael Kitch CONCORD — State Rep. Frank Tilton (R-Laconia) has become the second member of the Belknap County Convention to file legislation intended to clearly delineate the respective authorities of the convention and the Belknap County Commission over the county budget. Earlier this month Representative Colette Worsman (R-Meredith) submitted a similar proposal for drafting.

Tilton said yesterday that his bill closely follows a statute prescribing the budget process to be followed in Hillsborough County. He emphasized that he believes the existing law vests the convention with the authority to specify line-item appropriations within the department budgets as well as to approve any transfer of funds from particular line items either within or between departments.

However, Tilton said that his bill “spells it out even more clearly than the existing statutory language.” He explained that where the law applying to Hillsborough County requires that appropriations “shall be itemized in detail,” he added the phrase “including specific line items within each department.” His bill would enable the convention to permit the commission to

transfer funds of specified amounts without the approval of the Executive Committee of the convention. “Hillsborough County makes no exceptions, but Rockingham County sets a limit of $300,” he said. “This year we made no exceptions.”

Although Tilton expected the legislation would be enacted, he said “this isn’t a bill that’s going to rush through.” As long as the bill is adopted and made effective in 2014, he believes that it would apply to next year’s county budget. But, he stopped short of saying that that legislation would forestall the convention and commission seeking to settle their differences in court. “We haven’t resolved what we’re doing now,” he said, noting that the commissioners have shuffled funds within the 2013 budget adopted by the convention without the approval of its Executive Committee.

Last month, the convention, against Worsman’s recommendation, voted not to file suit in Belknap County Superior Court against the commission in an effort to resolve the dispute. Tilton, who was among those voting against litigating, said that “it would be a long, slow, expensive proposition” while acknowledging “litigation is not off the table and is certainly a possibility.”

KENYA from page 2 over the terror crisis is at odds with the charges he faces at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity in which he is alleged to have incited violence following Kenya’s 2007 elections.

Kenyatta declared three days of national mourning starting Wednesday.

At the Westgate mall, there were no immediate signs of the Kenyan Security forces closing their operation.

Two Kenyan soldiers who had recently been inside the mall told The Associated Press shortly before the president spoke that the operation was effectively finished, but they said security forces were still combing the facility and had not definitively cleared all the rooms inside. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were under orders not to speak to the media.

Kenyan forces had for two days said they were in the “final phase” of the operation, only to be battled back by the militants inside the building.

Explosions rang from the upscale Westgate mall in Nairobi throughout Tuesday, and the chatter of gunfire from inside the building could also be heard. Fresh smoke rose from the building in the afternoon.

The Kenyan Red Cross had previously said 62 people had been killed, and it seemed certain that the number of confirmed deaths would rise as security forces search the building.

Nairobi’s city morgue had already braced for the arrival of a large number of bodies of people killed, an official said.

Kenyan Red Cross spokesman Abbas Gullet said it was still not known how many more may be dead inside the building.

“It is certainly known that there are more casualties,” he said.

A government official told The Associated Press that the morgue was preparing for up to an additional 60 bodies, though the official didn’t know an exact count. The government official insisted on anonymity so he would not face retribution from government officials.

Earlier Tuesday the al-Qaidalinked attackers used social media to give accounts of the fighting inside the mall that conflicted with the government reports.

“There are countless number of dead bodies still scattered inside the mall, and the mujahideen are still holding their ground,” the Somali rebel group al-Shabab said in one Twitter message considered to be genuine.

It added it still held hostages, who were “still alive looking quite disconcerted but, nevertheless, alive.”

Kenyatta did not mention the fate of the hostages — if it was indeed true that there were still some being held — in his address.

Al-Shabab, whose name means “The Youth” in Arabic, said the mall attack was in retribution for Kenyan forces’ 2011 push into neighboring Somalia.

African Union forces pushed the alQaida-affiliated group out of Somalia’s capital in 2011.

“You could have avoided all this and lived your lives with relative safety,” the group Tweeted Tuesday. “Remove your forces from our country and peace will come.”

Kenyatta said “initial reports had suggested that a British woman and two or three American citizens may have been involved in the attack,” but that “we cannot confirm the details at the moment.

Six steps to a beautiful landscape next season by gardening expert

D

Melinda Myers

on’t let a busy schedule stop you from creating a beautiful landscape.

Incorporate a few of these changes in your fall landscape care. You’ll create beautiful results with a limited investment of time and effort.

Cut the grass, recycle fall leaves, and improve the soil with a pass of the lawn mower. Shred leaves and leave them on the lawn as you mow this fall. As long as you can see the grass through the leaf pieces, the lawn will be fine. As the leaves break down they add organic matter to the soil, improving drainage in clay soil

Improve your lawn’s health by fertilizing this fall with a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. You’ll reduce the risk of disease problems and with slower weed growth in fall, your lawn, not the weeds, will benefit from the nutrients. Fall fertilization also helps lawns recover from the stresses of summer by encouraging deep roots and denser growth that can better compete with weeds and tolerate disease and insects.

Northern gardeners can follow the holiday schedule and fertilize Labor Day and Halloween. Southern gardeners should make their last fall fertilization at least 30 days before the lawn goes dormant or the average first killing frost to avoid winter kill.

Do a bit of planting. Cool season annuals brighten up the fall garden and, for those in warmer regions, the winter garden.

Consider adding cold hardy pansies. They provide color in the fall garden, survive soil to conserve moisture and insulate most winters, and are back blooming in the the roots of perennials. Fall mulching gives you a jump on next spring’s landsee LANDSCAPE page 15 scape chores.

spring just as the snow melts.

Fall is also a good time to plant perennials, trees and shrubs. The soil is warm and the air cooler, so the plants are less stressed and establish more quickly.

Select plants suited to the growing con-

ditions and be sure to give them plenty of room to reach their mature size.

Plant daffodils, tulips, hyacinths and other bulbs in fall for extra color next spring. Set the bulbs at a depth of two to three times their height deep. Then cover them with soil and sprinkle on a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer. This

type of fertilizer promotes rooting without stimulating fall growth subject to winter kill.

Base your bulb planting time on the weather not the calendar. Start planting after the night-time temperatures hover between 40 and 50 degrees. Be patient, waiting until the soil cools reduces the risk of early sprouting that often occurs during a warm fall.

Those gardening in the far south and along the gulf coast can purchase precooled bulbs to compensate for the warm winters. Or the chilling can be done at home by storing the bulbs in a 35 to 45 degree location for at least 14 weeks before planting.

Leave healthy perennials stand for winter. This increases hardiness and adds beauty to the winter landscape with their seed heads, dried foliage and the birds they attract. Plus, it will delay

cleanup until spring when gardeners are anxious to get outdoors and start gardening.

However, be sure to remove any diseased or insect-infested plants to reduce the source of pest problems in next year’s garden.

Start composting or add shredded leaves and other plant debris to an existing compost pile. Combine fall leaves with other plant waste, a bit of soil or compost, and sprinkle with fertilizer to create compost. Recycling yard waste saves time bagging, hauling and disposing of green debris. You also reduce or eliminate the need to buy soil amendments to improve your existing garden soil.

Incorporate one or all six of these practices to increase the health and beauty of your landscape now and for years to come.

Extend the harvest this season by gardening expert

Melinda Myers

D

idn’t get enough gardening in this season? Don’t worry there is still time to grow garden-fresh vegetables and herbs this fall and winter.

Purchase transplants and seeds that will grow and flourish in the cooler fall and winter temperatures. Lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, root vegetables, edible pansies and calendula as well as cole crops, like broccoli, are a few to consider.

Those gardening in colder regions need to select short season crops like lettuce, spinach and radishes that will mature before extremely cold winter temperatures set in.

Extend the fall garden season into winter with the help of floating row covers, coldframes and portable greenhouses.

Many of the elevated garden systems now have built in cold frames or row cover attachments to make extending the season much easier.

Try container and elevated gardens to extend the growing season and increase your enjoyment. These contained gardens allow you to plant herbs, vegetables and flowers anywhere.

Place a few right outside the front door or on the balcony for fun and convenience. Plus, contained gardens can easily be moved to a sheltered location or covered and protected from frost.

Or move your garden indoors. Select vegetables and herbs that can tolerate the lessthan-ideal indoor growing conditions. Greens, onions and root crops, like radishes and short carrots, will grow in a sunny window. Expand your selection with the help of artificial lights.

Basil, oregano, thyme, sage, parsley, chives and of course mint are a few favorite herbs to grow on your kitchen or other sunny windowsill.

Increase your harvest with the

Extend the fall garden season into winter with the help of floating row covers, coldframes and portable greenhouses. Many of the elevated garden systems now have built in cold frames or row cover attachments to make extending the season much easier. help of artificial lights or try an indoor tiered grow light stand to save on space.

Take cuttings from healthy herbs growing in the garden, purchase new transplants or start herb and vegetable plants from seeds.

Take four inch cuttings from healthy herbs. Remove the lowest set of leaves and place the cut end in a well-drained potting mix. Once rooted, plant the herbs in individual containers or mixed with other herbs in a windowsill planter.

Start the seeds in a flat, in individual pots or directly in a planter.

Keep the rooting mix warm and moist until the seeds sprout. Move to a sunny location or under artificial lights as soon as the seedlings break through the soil.

Wait until the seedlings develop two sets of leaves and then transplant them into their permanent planter if needed.

So get busy planting and soon you will be enjoying the tasty benefits of fall and winter gardening.

Modern technology simplifies yard maintenance

You can significantly reduce the time spent maintaining your property by employing modern mower technology.

Compared to older tractor-style mowers, modern mid-mount zero-turn riding mowers cut much faster, with enhanced maneuverability. This lets them be much more productive and versatile, as the “turn on a dime” handling means operators can trim closer to landscape features and deftly navigate around flowerbeds.

Instead of the traditional gearbox, a zero-turn rider uses a system of hydraulic pumps and wheel motors to drive the mower forward and backward at variable speeds of up to 10 miles per hour. The zero-turning radius is achieved with independent hydro motors on each drive wheel, which allow one wheel to run forward simultaneously as the other runs in reverse. When combined with freely rotating caster wheels ahead of the cutting deck, the system allows for a zero-turning radius and a heightened level of control.

“For many folks, time is almost more valuable than money,” said Daryn Walters of Exmark Mfg. “The switch from a tractor-style mower to a mid-mount zero-turn riding mower dramatically reduces the time it takes to care for the yard. Not only do users have more time to do what they love, the unmatched cut quality delivers a professionally maintained appearance.”

Walters noted that zero-turn riders are the dominant mower type for professional landscape contractors and the virtues for which contractors choose the mowers are similar to those homeowners want.

In short, he said it’s about doing more in less time.

“Their business is built on delivering a great cut quality, but to be profitable they need to do it as quickly as possible. This is where a mid-mount zero-turn rider shines.”

There are a number of considerations that factor into the ultimate value of the mower. Mower options including higher-horsepower engines, wider cutting decks and accessory bagging systems are available.

Bigger isn’t always better, however, and it makes sense to choose an appropriate zero-turn mower for the property. When selecting a mid-mount zeroturn riding mower, consider overall size, landscaping and budget.

Heart of the Lakes Sufi Center offers monthly series of classes this fall LACONIA — The Heart of the Lakes Sufi Center will be offering a series of classes on the topic of Breath this fall. The once a month classes will be on Thursday nights at 7 p.m. in the Alliance Room of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia, 172 Pleasant Street in Laconia.

For September and October, the classes will be the 4th Thursday - September 26 and October 24, switching to the third Thursday for the next two months - November 21 and December 19. There is no charge for classes at the Heart of the Lakes Sufi Center.

Breath is an essential focus of the

Sufi path of mysticism, and along with prayer is one of the two foundational practices of Sufism. Developing the breath helps ground spiritual realization, focuses meditation, and heightens awareness.

This series of classes was developed by senior teachers in the Sufi Order as a way to help those interested in Sufism to not just learn some of the concepts, but to experience the teachings in a way that has a positive impact on one’s process of awakening.

The class will include readings, meditations and spiritual practices, and see next page

U.S. & Russia said still at odds over Syria Police say gang members looking to

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — U.S. and Russian negotiators remain at odds on a U.N. Security Council resolution that would hold Syria accountable if it fails to live up to pledges to dismantle its chemical weapons stockpiles, American officials said Tuesday, as President Barack Obama warned the world body that it risks its credibility and reputation if it does not act.

Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met for nearly 90 minutes at the United Nations and though progress was made in some areas, they were unable to reach agreement on the text of a resolution that would meet Obama’s standard, the officials said. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss publicly the closeddoor meeting.

Kerry told reporters after the meeting that the session had been “very constructive.”

Three senior officials familiar with the effort say negotiations remain a work in progress as the U.S. pushes

for a binding, enforceable, verifiable arms-control regime that strips Syria of its entire chemical weapons stocks and facilities. The U.S. also is demanding that the resolution not contain ambiguities or loopholes, they said.

The officials said several “key conceptual hurdles” are points of contention with the Russians as both sides seek agreement on the language of the resolution. The U.S. and Russian ambassadors to the United Nations have been tasked with working out the language.

U.N. diplomats say differences between the U.S. and Russia on how a resolution should be enforced have held up action in the Security Council.

Russia is opposed to any mention of Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which includes military and nonmilitary actions to promote peace and security.

Russia and China have vetoed three Western-backed resolutions that would have pressured Syrian President Bashar Assad to end the 2½-year war that, according to the U.N., has killed more than 100,000 people.

avenge leg wound behind park shootings CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago man who was clipped in the leg by gunfire went looking for revenge, leading fellow gang members to a crowded park, where one of them unleashed more than a dozen bullets from an assault rifle in a shooting that wounded 13 people, including a 3-year-old boy, authorities say.

Thursday night’s attack at a basketball court on Chicago’s southwest side did injure several gang members. But the rapid spray of bullets also struck bystanders in a shooting that has again focused national attention on gang bloodshed in the nation’s thirdlargest city.

Authorities announced Tuesday that four men have been charged, including the suspected primary shooter, a second man accused of firing a .22-caliber revolver, a lookout and the man prosecutors say supplied the assault rifle.

A judge denied bail for the group, who appeared lined up in court still wearing the street clothes they had on when they were arrested. Each is charged with attempted murder and aggravated battery with a firearm, though additional charges were expected. A defense attorney said each of the four denied the charges, and one of their mothers cried in the second row of the gallery.

“There’s a super-heated group of individuals who are involved in gun violence as both victims and offenders,” police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference.

“And in this case we’ve got them both wrapped into one.

“This individual was a victim of gun violence and then became the offender,” he said of the man authori-

ties say was the central player in the shooting.

Bryon Champ and his co-defendants are members of the Blackstones gang, prosecutors said. After Champ was grazed by gunfire from a rival gang member, co-defendant Brad Jett, 22, went on a scouting mission to find members of the rival Gangster Disciples and spotted several of them in the Cornell Square Park, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office said.

A pickup basketball game was underway and the park was crowded with neighborhood residents out late enjoying one of the last warm nights of summer.

A third suspect, Kewane Gatewood, 20, who had kept the assault rifle under his bed for several months, deposited the weapon in a stash house where Champ then picked it up, Cook County State’s Attorney John Dillon said in court Tuesday.

Twenty-two-year-old Tabari Young, a second gunman armed with a revolver, joined Jett and Champ, and the men drove to the park, tailed by another car meant to provide cover from police and rival gang members, prosecutors said.

With Jett serving as lookout in a gangway leading the park, the other two men got out on foot and opened fire, prosecutors say. At least 14 rounds were fired from the AK-47style rifle, a weapon that authorities say has rarely been used in Chicago.

One bullet struck 3-year-old Deonta Howard just behind his right ear and exited from his face. He has had surgery and is recovering but is expected to need plastic surgery.

Two teenagers were also among the wounded.

OSSIPEE (AP) — Public health officials say a horse from Ossipee, N.H., has tested positive for eastern equine encephalitis.

A horse in Derry tested positive for the mosquito-borne disease last week.

The most recent finding, announced Tuesday, raises the risk level for the town of Ossipee from “remote” to “high.” The surrounding towns of Tamworth, Madison, Freedom, Effingham, Wakefield, Brookfield, Wolfeboro, Tuftonborough and Moultonborough

will increase to a “moderate” risk level.

So far this season, 13 mosquito batches have tested positive for West Nile virus and 20 have tested positive for EEE. One person in Chesterfield also has been diagnosed with West Nile virus.

Public health director Dr. Jose Montero says people should protect against mosquito bites no matter where they live until there is a killing frost statewide.

Holy Trinity Parish to begin respite day care program PLYMOUTH — On Thursday, November 7, Holy Trinity Parish is scheduled to begin a Day Away Program for caregivers of adults with Alzheimer’s disease or Dementia.

Day Away is a social respite program held once a week from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at Our Lady of Grace Chapel in Bristol. Day Away will provide short-term temporary relief to those who are caring for family members.

Even though family members/caregivers receive great joy in providing care to their loved ones so that they can remain at home, the physical, emotional and financial consequences can be overwhelming without some support, such as respite. Day

New England Collegiate Choral Directors Conference at PSU

PLYMOUTH — Plymouth State University will host the second annual New England Collegiate American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) Conference September 28 at the Silver Center for the Arts on Main Street in Plymouth.

The day’s activities will focus on movement and body awareness for conductors and singers and will feature clinicians including Lisa Billingham, author of The Complete Conductor’s Guide to Laban Movement Theory; Jenni Cook, faculty member at the University of New Hampshire and PSU faculty members Victoria Cole (Alexander Technique) and Emily Jaworski (Yoga for Singers and Conductors).

The conference will also include a performance by the Plymouth State University Chamber Singers, directed by Professor of Music Dan Perkins, PSU director of choral activities.

The registration fee (which includes lunch) is $10 for ACDA members, $15 for non-members and free of charge to collegiate chapter advisors.

Although this conference is geared towards preservice professionals; teachers, conductors and other music professionals are strongly encouraged to attend.

Away is designed to provide a safe and comfortable atmosphere for participants to help maintain their independence, encourage socialization, be mentally stimulated and remain active. Trained volunteers and an RN are on-site to provide 1-1 supervision for the participant. A nominal fee of $25 includes lunch.

Eligible participants must be able to ambulate with a cane or walker, or walk without assistance, participate in a social setting, use the bathroom without assistance, have the ability to self administer medication and live at home with their caregivers.

As well as lunch, participants will have the opportunity to gather with a volunteer companion for coffee and discuss with them their life and interests.

There will also be time for an adult worthy craft, light exercise, and ballroom dancing. After lunch, time is allotted for the participants to play Bingo and other low impact games. The day will end with a social gathering and light refreshments.

A meeting will be held at the Minot-Sleeper Library in Bristol, Thursday, October 10 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Interested parties are encouraged to attend to learn more about the program. Time will be allotted for questions. Contact Fran Olson at 603744-6828 or folson@gcscc.org for more information.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

your niceness the most? When people violate the rules of civility, you are being nice to the general public by calling them out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People who feel trapped are generally not as friendly as those who feel free. In other words, it’s easier to love your neighbor if you have something to do with the choice of where you live.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will address the “how” and the “why” of a problem, thoroughly going through the mechanics of each. The “why” will prove more important and will be crucial to the solution.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 25). Choose your next move carefully. The inspired action you take will help your family, but loveless labors aren’t worth the energy drain. You reinvent yourself in November and find a fresh income source. Reunions and new agreements happen in January. In February, you’ll focus on one talent and become an expert.

Pisces and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 19, 33, 27 and 41.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Getting more information doesn’t always clear things up.

When there’s little else to go on, you’ll use your intuition and instinct and get astounding results.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Because you have such a curious mind and a courageous spirit that makes you unafraid to follow your curiosity, your day will be made livelier by elements of mystery, glamour and illusion.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It’s more stressful to be in the middle of opposing forces than it is to be on either side of the battle. Your most peaceful option is to retreat as soon as possible to a safe and neutral territory.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). People who can’t connect with themselves also can’t connect with others. Try not to expect a deep connection with those who are ill-equipped and/or unable to make this happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s important to do things the right way. Take the time to read all of the instructions or the map before you start an endeavor. Any shortcut you attempt is apt to make things harder for you in the long run.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don’t mind it when your path is cluttered with one obstacle or another. You see this as training for tougher times. This is only making you stronger for later when it will matter most.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A surge of raw energy will help you tackle big and small jobs.

Burning some of it off in exercise will bring favorable results to your mood. A Capricorn figures into your future good fortune.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A person with horrible and abundant problems will be most effective in distracting you from your own, which pale in comparison. Suddenly the world won’t seem so bad.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Don’t you hate to get unsolicited advice? At least in today’s case it will be something useful, though you will have to dig deeper and interpret to figure out its use.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You can’t be too nice today. But who deserves

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 25, 2013— Page 27

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Sept. 25, the 268th day of 2013. There are 97 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 25, 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification.

Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.

On this date: In 1513, Spanish explorer Vasco Nunez de Balboa crossed the Isthmus of Panama and sighted the Pacific Ocean.

In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston.

In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. Allen was released by the British in 1778.

In 1904, a New York City police officer ordered a female automobile passenger on Fifth Avenue to stop smoking a cigarette. A male companion was arrested and later fined $2 for “abusing” the officer.

In 1911, ground was broken for Boston’s Fenway Park.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson collapsed after a speech in Pueblo, Colo., during a national speaking tour in support of the Treaty of Versailles.

In 1932, the Spanish region of Catalonia received a Charter of Autonomy. However, the charter was revoked by Francisco Franco at the end of the Spanish Civil War. In 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

In 1962, Sonny Liston knocked out Floyd Patterson in Round 1 to win the world heavyweight title at Comiskey Park in Chicago. “The Longest Day,” 20th Century Fox’s epic recreation of the D-Day invasion, based on the book by Cornelius Ryan, had its world premiere in France.

In 1978, 144 people were killed when a Pacific Southwest Airlines Boeing 727 and a private plane collided over San Diego.

In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

In 1992, the Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the Red Planet. The probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993. A judge in Orlando, Fla., ruled in favor of Gregory Kingsley, a 12-year-old seeking to “divorce” his biological parents.

Ten years ago: France reported a staggering death toll of 14,802 from the summer heat wave.

Five years ago: Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama sat down with President George W. Bush at the White House to discuss a multibillion-dollar Wall Street bailout plan, but the session, which also included top congressional leaders, devolved into what the McCain campaign described afterward as a “contentious shouting match.”

One year ago: President Barack Obama, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, pledged U.S. support for Syrians trying to oust President Bashar Assad, calling him “a dictator who massacres his own people.” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said, “We must stop the violence and flows of arms to both sides.”

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 25, 2013— Page 29

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married for 15 years. My husband and I still live under the same roof (for convenience), but we have drifted our separate ways. The problem is, our teenage son cannot stand to be in the same room with his father. All they do is argue, and my husband pouts like a baby, bottom lip and all.

I have asked our son to try to ignore Dad in order to keep the peace, but it is getting worse. This man, who wanted to have a child, has spent little time with our son over the years.

When I was working and he had to watch our son, he would have his parents come over, and then he and his father would leave, letting my mother-in-law babysit. On weekends, he managed never to be home.

Now that our son is older, my husband thinks he has a personal slave to do all the yard work and dishes and put his stuff away when he comes home. Also, he and Grandpa have no qualms about pointing out what this kid does wrong, badgering him about it and never mentioning the things he does well.

I have had it. I don’t want my son to grow up to be like his father. Should I stay here, or should I take my son and leave?

-- Fed Up in Pennsylvania Dear Fed Up: There is a lot going on here. You and your husband obviously no longer connect, and your son may be acting out his frustrations with the situation. Dad has no idea how to communicate with his son. Neither you nor your son is happy with Dad. If the marriage is dead, please stop hanging around the corpse. Your son will benefit from an emotionally stable home. Speak with a lawyer before deciding which of you should move out. All of you would benefit from counseling, and we hope you will consider it.

Dear Annie: Not every letter is about a problem. I am the luckiest guy in the world. I am 60 years old. My wife is a little

younger. We will celebrate 35 years of marriage this month, complete with two children and all the trials and tribulations of every couple. We are almost empty nesters. By my wife’s own admission, menopause was easy. She is an excellent cook. We eat good food and get exercise, and both of us are in decent shape. Dates are fun, and she is a great travel partner.

Here is the point of my letter: My wife is everything a man could want, including beautiful, sexy and passionate. I can barely keep up with her passion. I have not done anything to deserve this. My character defects far exceed hers. Why my wife seems so perfect is beyond me, but I am not complaining.

Rather, I am amazingly thankful. This may not be Iowa, but it does feel like heaven. -- A Lucky and Appreciative Married Man Dear Lucky: Thank you so much for writing and letting our readers see that some marriages are wonderful, and that partners can recognize and appreciate what they have. Please show this to your wife and tell her you wrote it. (And any other reader who wants to give that impression can do so, as well.)

Dear Annie: “Sensitive in the Midwest” deplored the table manners she witnessed. Here’s my advice: Most executives and CEOs of successful companies do not ignore etiquette.

They are unlikely to hire anyone who cannot show decent manners, including those who use vulgar language.

If one wishes to continue through life in a low-paying job with no chance of advancement, by all means, thumb your nose at etiquette. Otherwise, parents (and individuals with aspirations) should give some thought to their appearance and presentation and insist on etiquette and its use. It shows respect for yourself and others. -- Burwell, Neb.
