LACONIA — Six months after the car she was driving struck two girls at the Messer Street Bridge, taking the life of Lilyanna Johnson, 14, and severely injuring Allyssa Miner, 14, Amy LaFond, 52, was arrested at her home at 10 River Street shortly after 7 a.m. yesterday on charges of manslaughter, negligent homicide and assault — as well as on two drug offenses and three traffic violations. About 15 relatives and friends of the girls and LaFond’s husband sat quietly as LaFond was arraigned in 4th Circuit Court-Laconia later in the day. LaFond entered no plea on four felony charges and pled not guilty to a misdemeanor and three viosee LAFOND page 9
Coal tar removal will take 2 years & require 12 to 16 truckloads a day BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Work to remove tons of toxic coal tar contaminated soil from lower Liberty Hill could begin as early as next March in a massive $13 million cleanup project which will take two years to complete, according to plans presented at an informational meeting at Gilford Town Hall last night.
Officials of the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (DES) and GEI Consultants, Inc., representing Liberty Utilities, presented the plan to about 40 people, many of them residents of the Liberty Hill area. The tar was dumped into pits on lower Liberty Hill and then covered over in the 1950s, after a fire at a gas plant along
the Winnipesuakee River in Laconia. The substance was a biproduct of the gasification process. The presence of the deposits was not made known to the public until about 10 years ago and came as the result of testimony offered in a private-party lawsuit. Michael McCluskey, an engineer with the state Department
of Environmental Services’ Waste Management Division, said that the conceptual plan for cleaning up Liberty Hill was approved last year and that the design plan for the project is still being finalized by GEI and will be presented to the DES next month. John Ash, vice president of GEI Consultants Inc., said that see TAR page 27

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (AP) — Dinner was just getting served to a crowd of doctors and elected officials when a cry to dial 911 rang out at The Mark restaurant. Dr. Paul Krogstad rushed to the commotion and found longtime friend, Dr. Royce Johnson, tending to a community leader who was choking on a piece of meat. After the Heimlich maneuver failed to open Pauline Larwood’s airway, Johnson called out for a knife. A fellow doctor handed him a pocket knife that he always carries around. Johnson quickly made an incision near Larwood’s throat. Krogstad, who was kneeling next to Johnson, broke a pen-like device in half that Johnson used as a breathing tube. “He’s a well-trained physician who didn’t hesitate to step up. He was very calm, skillful and careful,” said Krogstad, a pediatrician at UCLA’s Mattel Chilsee DOCTOR page 27

Obamacare premiums in N.H. come in a bit over U.S. average CONCORD (AP) — When new health insurance markets launch next week, the sticker-price premiums for a mid-range benchmark plan in New Hampshire will average $360 a month for an individual, slightly higher than the national average, according to a federal report. The Department of Health and Human Service released an overview of premiums and plan choices Wednesday showing the average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the “secondlowest-cost silver plan” ranges from a low
of $192 in Minnesota to a high of $516 in Wyoming. The national average is $328, which reflects the sticker price before the application of tax credits that work like an upfront discount for most consumers. The report estimated that about 95 percent of consumers nationwide will have two or more insurers to choose from and will be able to choose from an average of 53 plan options. In New Hampshire, just one company, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, will be offering health insurance plans through the
new markets for the first year. Consumers will pick from 13 plans in four levels of coverage — five bronze plans, four silver, three gold and one catastrophic coverage plan. All the plans cover the same benefits and include the same caps on annual out-ofpocket expenses, but differ in the amount of cost sharing through annual deductibles and copayments. Bronze plans — which have the lowest premiums and the highest cost sharing — cover 60 percent of expected costs, while platinum plans cover see INSURANCE page 12
Navy Yard gunman left note about being bombarded by radio waves
WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Navy Yard gunman Aaron Alexis left a note saying he was driven to kill by months of bombardment with extremely low-frequency radio waves, the FBI said Wednesday in a disclosure that explains the phrase he etched on his shotgun: “My ELF Weapon!” Alexis did not target particular individuals during the Sept. 16 attack in which he killed 12 people, and there is no indication
the shooting stemmed from any workplace dispute, said Valerie Parlave, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington field office. Instead, authorities said, his behavior in the weeks before the shooting and evidence recovered from his hotel room, backpack and other belongings reveal a man increasingly in the throes of paranoia and delusions. “Ultra-low frequency attack is what I’ve been subject to for the last 3 months, and
to be perfectly honest that is what has driven me to this,” read an electronic document agents recovered after the shooting. The attack came one month after Alexis had complained to police in Rhode Island that people were talking to him through the walls and ceilings of his hotel room and sending microwave vibrations into his body to deprive him of sleep. On his shotgun, he had scrawled “My see GUNMAN page 10
WASHINGTON (AP) — Unanimous but far from united, the Senate advanced legislation to prevent a partial government shutdown on Wednesday, the 100-0 vote certain to mark merely a brief pause in a fierce partisan struggle over the future

Gilford selectmen won’t support Kimball Castle owner’s bid to have terms of trust changed BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Selectmen voted unanimously last night not to support the draft pleading that would ask the Belknap County Superior Court to change the terms of the trust that would, among other things, allow the owner to tear it down. There was no public discussion between board members and no reason for their action was given. The cy pres motion, as recommended to selectmen by owner David Jodoin, would allow him to tear down the old castle, which has been condemned by the town building inspector, allow Jodoin or its future owners to restrict access to the remaining nature preserve to one road but leave the town and easement for emergency access only, and to allow not more than one residential home to be built on the 25-acre portion of the property sold by the town to Jodoin in 1999. Selectmen also voted to extend the demolition or fencing order from the building inspector until April of 2014 because voters will decide at the March annual Town Meeting whether or not to support the Jodoin’s request. The board also agreed to temporarily discontinue the public easement on the Class 6 road portion of the property and to discontinue parking until a fence is installed or the castle is demolished. This is for public safety reasons. They also voted to allow Jodoin to install a gate preventing access to the SHUTDOWN from page 2 vivable, he declared in pre-dawn remarks on the Senate floor. “Ultimately, it is liberating.” Legislation passed by the Republican-controlled House last week would cancel all funds for the threeyear-old law, preventing its full implementation. But Senate Democrats have enough votes to restore the funds, and Majority Leader Harry Reid labeled Cruz’s turn in the spotlight “a big waste of time.” Any differences between the two houses’ legislation must be reconciled and the bill signed into law by next Tuesday to avert a partial shutdown. The issue is coming to the forefront in Congress as the Obama administration works to assure a smooth launch for the health care overhaul’s final major piece, a season of enrollment beginning Oct. 1 for millions who will seek coverage on so-called
Class 6 portion of the road but to give a key to the DPW and public safety in case of emergency. Selectmen voted unanimously against Jodoin’s request for the town to pay for a portion of the road repairs caused, according to Jodoin, by allowing public access to the property from that road. Jodoin has contended the conditions of the deed restrictions of the charitable trust cannot be met because Kimball Castle Properties, LLC was never able to raise the capital needed to restore the historic structure to a restaurant and lounge. The structure, overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, has deteriorated significantly because of weather and vandalism, and the town ordered Jodoin to tear it down or install a fence surrounding it to reasonably prevent access. The first cy pres change to the original deed restrictions was made in 1999 when the court allowed the property to be sold to a private party, Historic Inns of New England, LP. The owner of Kimball Castle Properties, LLC is one of the original owners of the limited partnership. The first change provided the money from the sale be used to maintain most of the property for wildlife observation and recreation trails. As it stands now, the town of Gilford still holds $90,000 of the original $116,000 mortgage. The payments, which are current, provide funding for the Kimball Wildlife Committee to preserve the balance of the property for wildlife observation and recreation trails. insurance exchanges. Health and Human Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters this week that consumers will have an average of 53 plans to choose from, and her department estimated the average individual premium for a benchmark policy known as the “second-lowest cost silver plan” would range from a low of $192 in Minnesota to a high of $516 in Wyoming. Tax credits will bring down the cost for many. Republicans counter that the legislation is causing employers to defer hiring new workers, lay off existing ones and reduce the hours of still others to hold down costs as they try to ease the impact of the bill’s taxes and other requirements. “Obamacare is destroying jobs. It is driving up health care costs. It is killing health benefits. It is shattering the economy,” said Cruz.

Few of 600 people who showed up for Northern Pass hearing were supporters By Mike Mortensen FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
PLYMOUTH — The public hearing held here Tuesday night was yet another reminder that Northern Pass power line project is very unpopular in the northern half of the state. The forum, hosted by the federal Department of Energy to gather public comment to the recently modified plans for the $1.6 billion project, was dominated by speakers who told federal officials that Northern Pass, rather than being an economic boon to the state as supporters claim, would hurt the tourism industry, lower property values and produce little if any discernible benefit to state residents and businesses. The most frequently voiced objection was that the 186 mile 1,200 megawatt line would permanent mar the scenic beauty in many parts of the state, including the North Country, an area heavily dependent on tourism and outdoor recreation for its livelihood. More than 600 people showed up for the three-hour hearing held at Hanaway Theater at Plymouth State University. But the audience dwindled to less than half that number after about an hour and a half. “Northern Pass is proposing for 180 miles to string lines on steel towers that exceed the height of existing trees,” said Eli Gray of New Hampton. He said the line would “mar the scenic beauty up and down the state. This fact is indisputable.” Others voiced similar concerns, calling Northern Pass a monstrosity or a symbol of corporate insensitivity and greed. State Sen. Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) faulted
Public Service of New Hampshire and Hydro Quebec — Northern Pass’s two major corporate partners — for being unsympathetic with critics’ anxieties. “They are failing to listen to valid concerns of property owners, whose property values and lives will be adversely affected,” Bradley said. Calling for burial of Northern Pass along its entire length, Bradley said, “Towers above treetops don’t make good neighbors,” an allusion to Robert Frost’s poem about good fences making good neighbors. State Sen. Jeannie Forrester (R-Meredith), an early Northern Pass critic whose district includes much of Grafton County, said Northern Pass represents “a clear and present danger to New Hampshire’s economic health.” She urged Department of Energy officials to include two or more alternatives for construction of Northern Pass, including one that would call for burying the lines underground. Brian Mills, senior planning advisor for the Energy Department’s Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, said his agency’s only role in the Northern Pass decision is whether to grant a permit to allow the line to cross the border from Canada into the U.S. near Pittsburg. He said that Northern Pass will also need to receive separate permits from the Army Corps of Engineers, the U.S. Forest Service, as well as various state and local authorities. Mills said all the necessary permits would need to be approved before any phase of the project could begin. Of the Northern Pass supporters who spoke, many were from Franklin where a large converter station would be built to change the 1,200 megawatts

of power from DC to AC current. The city stands to gain about $4.2 million annually in property taxes, if the Northern Pass project goes through. Franklin Mayor Ken Merrifield noted that although the power Northern Pass would bring in from Quebec is not needed to meet electrical demand in New Hampshire, any shortage of electrical power in Southern New England hits New Hampshire ratepayers in the pocketbook because New Hampshire utilities end up having to more for electricity during times of peak demand. Franklin City Councilor Douglas Boyd likened Northern Pass opponents to the Clamshell Alliance which in the 1970s tried unsuccessfully to block construction of the Seabrook Nuclear Power Plant. “Thank God they weren’t successful,” Boyd said, adding: “There will come a day when the opponents (of Northern Pass) will say, ‘Boy, did we make a big mistake.’” But Northern Pass critics, many wearing bright orange “Stop Northern Pass” T-shirts, said the project’s supporters overstate its purported benefits are that they also fail to take into consideration the long-term economic impact, especially in the area of diminished property values. Several opponents who spoke mentioned an guest column by Gov. Maggie Hassan published last week in the Boston Globe which said Northern Pass carries “all costs and few, if any, savings” for the people of New Hampshire.” Thomas Mullen, developer of Owl’s Nest Resort and Golf Club said Northern Pass has had a chilling effect on real estate sales in and around the resort see NORTHERN PASS page 12

Strong new voice against the ‘cult of money’ The bluebirds of happiness are chirping away in our nation’s treetops these days, for America is now in the fifth year of economic recovery. Let’s all sing “Happy Days Are Here Again,” for stock prices are reaching record highs, corporate profits are soaring, and even the unemployment numbers are on the mend. But wait, what’s this? Down below the treetops, way down there at the grassroots, poverty not only persists, but is spreading. Also, America’s income disparity is worsening as middle-class workers are pushed into lower-wage jobs and poor people are pushed out entirely. Far from “Happy Days,” joblessness among our lowestincome families is now the worst on record, having reached the staggering rate of 21 percent. The plight of the poor in our Land of Plenty is so dramatic that even the Republican leaders of the U.S. House have noticed them and are reaching out with open hands. Unfortunately, they are not offering a helping hand to the needy, but a cold, hard slap in the face. On Sept. 19, in a gratuitous act of political pettiness and human callousness, the GOP slashed $4 billion-a-year out of the food stamp program. Well, they explained, the food stamp subsidy just keeps expanding, despite the recovery our economy is enjoying, so we have to stop the excess. Apparently these Congress critters never even visit reality. Hello, boneheads — the program has expanded only because all of the “recovery” benefits went to the privileged few at the top, with those at the ground level losing income, thus having to reach desperately for food stamps as a life preserver. In fact, the program lifted about four million Americans above the poverty level last year and kept millions more from sinking deeper into destitution. It’s a safety net that’s been working exactly as it’s supposed to — and GOP ideologues don’t want government programs that work. Also, just for the hell of it, these laissez-fairyland Dickensians added insult to the injury that their cuts would cause for millions of America’s hard-hit people. They tacked on a provision to let the meanest of states force the needy families to submit to humiliating drug tests as the price of obtaining food for their families. In case you’re wondering just
how far Republican lawmakers have wandered into the wacky weeds of far-right ideology, note the babbling of Rep. Paul Ryan. Chairman of the House budget committee, this champion of extreme austerity has pushed feverishly for gutting the food stamp program. Why? Because, he rants, it’s a government giveaway that turns our safety net into “a hammock that lulls able-bodied people to lives of dependency and complacency.” A hammock? Food stamp allotments average under $4.50 a day. As for “able-bodied people,” does he not know that two-thirds of the program’s benefits go to children, the elderly and disabled people? In a society of gross and growing economic disparity, with mass unemployment and underemployment, food stamps are a minimal measure of our humanity and social morality. Forget the Paul Ryans — here’s the guy we should be listening to: “Excuse me if I use strong words,” he recently said, “but where there is no work there is no dignity ... We don’t want this globalized economic system which does us so much harm.” Pointing directly at the wealthiest elites who push relentlessly to shred government safety nets and make workers powerless, he declared: “(Widening disparity) is the consequence of a world choice, of an economic system that brings about this tragedy, an economic system that has at its center an idol which is called money.” Such worship of mammon, he added, creates an economic culture that throws away the well-being of the many to enhance the fortunes of the few. “We have to say no to this throwaway culture. We want a just system that helps everyone,” he concluded. That’s the powerful moral voice of Francis, the Catholic Church’s new Pope. He ended his comments with a fiery prayer calling on people to oppose the “cult of money” and asking God to “teach us to fight for work.” Amen.

LETTERS Great disappointment in the Keep Women Barefoot camp To The Daily Sun, I would like to welcome The Sun readers to another edition of Tea Party Potty Tricks. In the news recently are the four Colorado Congressman who after voting against Sandy relief begged for emergency relief after the floods devastating Colorado. Huh? Not missing a step, and as making a documentary about sociopaths, the House voted to increase hardship and food insecurity in America by cutting food stamps for 22,000,000 children in 2014. Ten million of those kids live in deep poverty. Showing the compassionate side of the tea party, ONLY 9,000,000 who are elderly or have a serious disability will be effected. And if that isn’t patriotic enough for you, ONLY 170,000 of our veterans that laid their lives on the line will also be hit and made even MORE vulnerable. (http://www.cbpp.org/ cms/?fa=view&id=3899) Being so both empathetic and fiscally responsible, the $39 BILLION cut over 10 years will help pay the $40 BILLION that we will pay Big Oil in subsidies in the same period. The Devil and His Angels are now in conference trying to figure out a way to more easily pay the $50 BILLION we subsidize the corn industry within the same period. Cuts to WIC (Women with Infant Children), and TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) look like an easy kill. Anonymous sources inside Hades’ pro-hunger “We Love Corpses” camp say infrastructure funds look appetizing because, “hey, East Germany was kind of quaint”. Transcending his new glory as the most ridiculous person in Washington, DC, Ted Cruz is now being piled on by Republicans who seem to have gotten the message that he is truly the heir apparent to Miss Tin-Foil Hat USA, Michelle Bachmann. GQ’s Mr Buffoon USA and Sarah Palin are now joined at the hip, yet John McCain, who gave us Miss Death Panel USA, “(expletive) hates him” say sources inside the McCain camp. Its the maverick, right? According to N.Y.’s Peter King, Cruz is a fraud. Ya think? The U.S. House decided that insur-
ing 17,000,000 children with preexisting conditions is bad for America and voted for the 40th time to repeal ObamaCARE. It is estimated that each vote costs $1,000,000. Although ObamaCARE got its ideas from the Heritage Foundation and RomneyCARE, that doesn’t matter because “we hate Obama”. Up to 120,000,000 adults have pre-existing conditions but golly, isn’t that what emergency rooms are for? Heck, we’re pro-life. Topping the “Is He On Crack?” Charts this week is Wayne Lappierre of the NRA, who told us that the Naval Yard slaughter happened because there just wasn’t “enough good guys with guns”. This week’s Alexander Hamilton Award goes to the dueling team of Robert Taylor and James Pullum, who pulled into a parking lot in Michigan, neither knowing the other was armed, who then shot each other dead. Rumor has it these were two law abiding citizens previous to the now famous duel. Its not every day that two good guys with guns actually stop two bad guys with guns. Wayne Lapierre must be gushing. On social issues, there is great disappointment in the Keep Women Barefoot camp. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals smacked down a lawsuit against the contraception mandate in ObamaCARE. A conservative appointed by George Bush, Justice Julia Smith Gibbon, wrote in her holding, “We dismiss the claims of the individual plaintiffs on standing grounds”. But worry not folks, it seems that Catholic hospitals are claiming religious liberty protects them from unionization. On the Big-Religion front it seems that the Catholic Church now have a very gracious and thoughtful Pope that is way left of the U.S. House of Representatives. In a total turnaround from the crusty rhetoric of the last two, the new Pope chastised Catholic leaders for being obsessed with abortion, gays, and contraception and slammed the cuts in food stamps. The audacity! He must be a commie! James Veverka Tilton
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 26, 2013 — Page 7
LETTERS My daughter was senselessly murdered; let’s try & prevent another To The Daily Sun, Three years ago — September 24, 2010 — in the early morning hours my daughter, Alexandra Engler, was in her kitchen in Baton Rouge making coffee, and studying before getting her daughter up, taking her to school then going to work. A man broke into her home, put a bullet in her head — execution style, then emptied his gun into my 9-year-old granddaughter, Ariana, leaving her for dead. The obituary in local papers passed unnoticed except for folks who are acquainted with me. This was a horrific crime — even for Baton Rouge which has one of the highest per capita crime rates in the country. While it doesn’t command national attention compared to the Aurora theater massacre, the Newtown school tragedy and now the shooting rampage in our nation’s capital, it isn’t just one more byline to me. And I ask your readers, shouldn’t this mean something to you too? Where is this country on gun control? Don’t start groaning that I’m some liberal nut. My husband is a member of the
NRA and the Pemi Fish & Game Club. He and many other acquaintances are responsible gun owners, and to jump to a conclusion that the right to bear arms will be trampled is a far cry from requiring background checks for those who purchase firearms. Would a background check have saved my daughter’s life? I don’t know the answer, but it might someday save someone’s life, and that’s worth it to me! I applaud Senator Shaheen for her support last April for the Manchin-Toomey proposal — a measure for additional background checks through gun-dealers and gun shows, and I wrote Senator Ayotte expressing my disappointment for her lack of support. For my part, in honor of the memory of my daughter, I must speak my mind today because if just one life is spared, I will have helped with positive change, and my beautiful daughter’s brutal, senseless murder will not have been in vain. Bonnie M. Hunt Holderness
Maybe we would go to war less often if we all had to serve To The Daily Sun, As a recipient of a draft card under the old draft system (I enlisted anyway), if you had asked me then or even 10 years ago, I would have strongly opposed a military draft. Now, however, I am seriously reconsidering my position. I cannot help but wonder if we did have conscription again, would we be so eager to go to war except when it was absolutely necessary? Of course, such a draft would have to be fair, much more so than the Vietnam era draft which favored the sons of the rich and influential. A new draft would have to include the sons — and daughters — of the powerful and politically-connected. That includes every member of Congress’s kids as well as the Obama girls. While our servicemen and women are certainly brave and patriotic, there is already a sort of “economic” draft where many middle and working-class young people join the military for either a job or educational benefits. The top echelons of American society do not have to put their lives on the line to get a job or an education. Most people like to remember the Vietnam-Era “draft dodgers” who burned their draft cards and fled to Canada but the old draft allowed a lot of people to LEGALLY avoid going to Vietnam. If you could afford to stay in college and keep a C- average, you could defer service. Or, if you could afford a private physician or psychiatrist to overrule the induction center medical staff, you could get out of serving. Then, there was the National Guard. Unlike the present, when the National Guard is regularly deployed and bravely serves in combat, during the Vietnam War, everyone knew that serving in the Guard was a way to avoid service in
still allow one to claim he had “served.” Very few National Guard units were sent to Vietnam. As a result, there were long waiting lists to get into the Guard. But, if you had strong political connections, you could “jump the line” and get into the National Guard and still get your “military ticket punched” so you could tell your campaign supporters that you served your country. Included among these was George W. Bush, who did not even make all of his required drills. Then there was former Vice-President Dan Quayle who was a “hawk” in 1968, publicly saying on college campuses that we should “kick butt” in Vietnam. Quayle’s dad, however, was a good friend (and perhaps business associate) of the general commanding the Indiana National Guard. Guess what happened? A renewed draft would have to be fair. Of course there should be exemptions of conscientious objectors and those with medical disqualifications. But students should not be exempt. Let them finish the semester and then get inducted. Of course, I do not want our young men and women to go to war at all. Perhaps we would go to war a lot less if everyone was equally vulnerable to such decisions. Young people themselves would not be so apathetic and oblivious to U.S. foreign policy decisions. An even better idea would be to require every young man and woman to perform a couple of years of SOME sort of national service after high school. A number of countries do that already. Perhaps it would not have to be military service in peacetime. Perhaps it could be some other sort of community service where young people learn teamwork, duty, selflessness, and responsibility. E. Scott Cracraft
Just when did citizens become slaves to public office holders? To The Daily Sun, I wrote a letter about the “Common Core” curriculum which was printed in The Sun back on August 2nd. I spent a great deal of time researching this subject for the letter and included a variety of sources to validate my claim that it appeared to be “a totalitarian takeover of our educational system”. I was accused by some of my liberal acquaintances of engaging in hyperbole. Though not from any letters to The Sun. Well, how many of you have seen the video of the Howard County, Maryland parent who was bullied by the security guard (an off duty Baltimore County police officer) at a Towson public school meeting? Robert Small had the temerity to challenge the way the question and answer session was going on the subject of “Common Core”. All questions were supposed to be written and approved ahead of time, ostensibly so that more questions could be answered. When the questions really were not getting to the heart of the “Common Core” philosophy, Robert tried to ask an important question in that regard since this program would be affecting his children for years to come. Outrageously, he was booted out of the hearing by the security guard who seemed to be looking for a confrontation. Robert was formally charged with assault though the charges were later dropped. All the other parents sat quietly as Robert was forced out of the room. Pat Caddell wonders just when did citizens become slaves to office holders? Those
would be the ones who pay the educators and bureaucrats’ salaries. Deneen Borelli noted that the “you better be quiet” message was delivered loud and clear. Yes indeed, you better sit down and shut up because the nanny state is taking over control of your children’s education. Hyperbole you say? Well let’s just keep our eyes and ears open shall we? Later in my August 2nd letter I stated my opinion about what seems to be behind the “Common Core” agenda, rather than the cleverly worded goals of helping our children: “since this is a ‘the end justifies the means’ social Utopian ideal, it is perfectly okay to coerce teachers while keeping them in the dark, dumb down students using a one size fits all plan and treat parents like dumb and dumber. After all, it is ‘the collective’ that must bring up our children properly rather than their own parents”. This looks to me like exhibit A of what I feared in my previous letter. This incident would appear to be another nudge, or in this case push, toward a dictatorial state of soft tyranny. Are we really inching toward becoming the “United Socialist States of America? While more countries in Europe have been declaring the “welfare state” dead due to unsustainability, this country continues its mind numbing march toward the welfare state. By that I mean, the government takeover of our educational system and the government takeover of our health care system. If we are not all reading, listening, absorbing and see next page

LETTERS Real war on women has claimed 28 million lives over 40 years To The Daily Sun, Those who support a woman’s right to choose to terminate her pregnancy on demand have consistently claimed that those who support a right to life for the unborn are waging a war on women. This battle cry has been forwarded by rank-and-file supporters of abortion, as well as such liberal groups as Planned Parenthood and the ACLU. It continues to be echoed unabated by the liberal media and in the political arena. One cannot escape noticing that this concept has been a war cry of the majority of the Democratic Party and has powerful support from our president A real war has casualties. Many casualties. Since the Roe and Doe decisions were handed down by the Supreme Court, there have been approximately 56 million abortions in the U.S., terminating the lives of the most helpless of human life. About 28 million of these would have been little girls which in time would have become women. This is part (but not the only part) of the true war on females and women with real and palpable casualties. This means that a mother’s womb is the most dangerous place for human life in America today. Each child alive today on average has been subjected to a dangerous game of four-chambered Russian Roulette. Out of every three children born alive, another life has been willfully terminated by abortion. This is a high percentage fatal gauntlet each person born since 1973 has faced and been fortunate enough to survive. The most dangerous weapons threatening life in America today are not guns or knives or any other weapon you normally might think of, but instead they are the abortionist’s lethal tools. Ah, but those of you cherishing the principles of Roe and Doe reject the above reasoning because the Supreme Court in its supreme wisdom has denied the personhood and right to life of the unborn. This dehumanization of the unborn has been necessary for the court to dance around the fundamental protections of life and liberty guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. So you can say there have been no human deaths among the 56 million abortions if you base your opinion on the case law precedents of Roe and Doe. But the battle does not end there. Not by any means. By dehumanizing the unborn and stripping them of their right to life, the Supreme Court by case law precedent also left the door wide open for anyone to cause the death of an unborn child and escape culpability. In Maine in 2003, Heather Fleigelman and unborn son Jonah (ninth months) were killed when Heather was stabbed numerous times during a rage by her husband. Her husband was convicted of murder for killing his wife but was NOT culpable for the death of his son. In the eyes of the law (Roe and Doe case law precedent), he had no son. The growth in Heather’s womb was non-
human and had no right to life. But the four family cats that Heather’s husband killed in his rage were protected with up to one year in prison for each cat killed. In the eyes of the law, the cats had a value, Jonah had none. Nada. Zilch! The dictates of Roe and Doe WAGE A WAR against a woman’s right to CHOOSE to carry her pregnancy to birth and have constitutional protective laws providing punishment for anyone causing injury or death to her unborn. In my letters to The Sun published on August 8 and 29, I described at length the brutal attack in Wisconsin in 1992 on a pregnant Tracy Marciniak by her husband resulting in the death of her (and his) full-term son, Zachariah. Tracy’s husband was not held responsible for the death of his son (by court standards, just non-human disposable tissue). Her husband was convicted of the assault on his wife (Tracy survived) but is due for parole in 2014. I also related the fatal shooting of Christina Alberts in West Virginia in 1998 during a home invasion, causing the death of Christy’s unborn daughter, Ashley. Christy’s shooter is serving a life sentence for her murder, but the jury was not allowed to be told that she was pregnant. Killing Christy’s full-term daughter was not a punishable offense. These examples represent A PALPABLE ROE AND DOE INDUCED WAR ON WOMEN and are a BRUTAL INSULT AND INJUSTICE to the memory of the mothers, their unborn children and the families involved. These two examples plus the testimony of others before Congress finally resulted in the federal Unborn Victims of Violence Act in 2004 on the fourth try (applicable under federal jurisdiction and the U.S. Military). Similar state statutes have been enacted both prior to the federal statute and subsequently. Supreme Court and lower case law rulings have affirmed these protective statutes which recognize the personhood and right to life of the unborn, directly opposing the principles of Roe and Doe. But these LEGISLATED statutes have come into existence only after backlash from numerous grossly unjust court rulings and over determined opposition from Planned Parenthood, the ACLU, liberal pro-abortion federal and state legislators, and rank-and file supporters of Roe (most have no clue about Doe). The principle of recognizing the unborn as a live human being with a right to life is now applied in 36 states; 27 in full (ANY stage of gestation) and nine in part (later stages of gestation). The many court case examples of how these statutes have been applied will have to wait for another time. But within the jurisdiction of 14 states, the unborn still have no rights if they are injured or killed by a violent act perpetrated against the mother. Maine and New Hampshire are two of these states. George Brunstad Meredith
Wind farm public relations effort continues to be a disaster To The Daily Sun, New Hampshire does have an electricity problem — it produces far too much. So why is the state looking to allow foreign companies to harvest revenues that belong to in-state companies? Sacrificing local companies that provide a trickle down effect into the New Hampshire economy is not a smart move? Wind contracts will require state regulatory approval and Governor Maggie Hassan will be caught in the cross hairs. She, after all, is pushing for wind farm developments across the state. And I’m sure she prefers to rub shoulders with the big boys — Iberdrola Renewables and EDP Renewables — than us common country folk. Imagine the talks she is having with them? One question still remains: Why isn’t Gov. Maggie Hassan seeking bids from local companies that already develop reliable electricity from our biomass, hydro and landfill companies to help procure additional renewable energy for the state’s portfolio? We’ve seen first hand how developers have made an extremely bad first from preceding page responding to what is happening to our republic, then we definitely are not paying attention. Be very afraid and speak out, or remain ignorant and acquiesce to the collective mindset. Russ Wiles Tilton
impression. In fact, the public relations effort continues to be a disaster eleven months after their initial announcement. Take for instance Ed Cherian’s Town Hall meetings recently. It’s still characterized by deceptive, misleading statements, patronizing and dismissive treatment of residents’ concerns. Developers have consistently kept quiet and have failed to frame “Wind Farms” as just that, wind farms, somewhere way up there in Central N.H. where nobody goes and nobody cares. When in fact, “way up there” includes the playground for Boston and many other Northeast corridor residents. The state knows Newfound Lake and the Mount Cardigan area is a state treasure for thousands of visitors. But the more egregious impacts of these wind projects, combined with Northern Pass, will factually impact this region with a true industrial feel. Massive steel turbines, transmission lines and Northern Pass will tower over the natural landscape from all directions. You will not be able to ignore it ... and neither will our visitors! Again: Ask questions, demand answers and if you don’t get them pound the table until you do! You are sacrificing everything. Ray Cunningham Bridgewater

GUNMAN from page 2 ELF Weapon!” — an apparent reference to extremely low-frequency waves — along with “End to the Torment!” ‘’Not what yall say” and “Better off this way,” the FBI said. Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy reservist and computer technician for a government contractor, used a valid badge to get into the Navy Yard and opened fire inside a building with the Remington shotgun, which he had legally purchased in Virginia two days earlier. He also used a 9 mm handgun that he took from a security guard, a weapon found near Alexis’ body. He was killed in the building by a U.S. Park Police officer following a rampage and shootout with police that the FBI said lasted more than an hour. “There are indicators that Alexis was prepared to die during the attack and that he accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions,” Parlave said. Surveillance video released by the FBI on Wednesday shows Alexis pulling his rental car into a garage, walking into the building with a bag and then skulking down a corridor with a shotgun, ducking and crouching
around a corner and walking briskly down a flight of stairs. The video does not show him actually shooting anyone. A timeline issued by the FBI shows Alexis started the rampage on the building’s fourth floor and then moved down to the third and first floors. He ultimately returned to the third floor, where he was killed around 9:25 a.m. FBI Director James Comey has said there’s no evidence that Alexis shot down into the atrium despite earlier accounts from witnesses at the scene. Alexis had started a job as a contractor in the building just a week before. Although there was a “routine performance-related issue addressed to him” on the Friday before the Monday morning shooting, “there is no indication that this caused any sort of reaction from him,” Parlave said. “We have not determined there to be any previous relationship between Alexis and any of the victims,” she said. “There is no evidence or information at this point that indicates he targeted anyone he worked for or worked with. We do not see any one event as triggering this attack.”

that both records and witnesses indicate that LaFond was using her cell phone either to speak or text when the collision occurred. Likewise, she said that evidence collected by the Belknap County Accident Reconstruction Team suggested that LaFond was driving at 40 miles per hour, 10 miles above the posted the speed limit, when there were many pedestrians, most of them schoolchildren, in the area. Guldbrandsen reminded the court of LaFond’s criminal history, which began with convictions for disorderly conduct in 1985 and criminal trespass in 1994, both in Manchester, and included two cases of willful concealment, one in Franklin in 2011 and another in Laconia in 2013, and theft by unauthorized taking in Laconia in 2012. Bresaw countered that “Amy is not a threat to anyone.” Reminding the court that six months have passed since the accident, he said “if the state had a concern they would not leave her in the community for six months. There was no concern in that interim,” he said, describing LaFond’s criminal record as “minimal” and including “no track record of violence or doing harm to others.” He remarked that Guldbrandsen repeatedly referred to “an accident” and said “that’s exactly what this was, an accident.” Furthermore Bresaw said that LaFond was suffering from “several serious medical conditions, including a degenerative bone disease, lesion on her spine and problems with her esophagus. LaFond, Bresaw insisted, posed no risk to flee. He told the court she has lived with her husband and 13-yearold son at 10 River Street for six years and has “every available tie to the community.” He remarked that she has been “cooperative” throughout the investigation and was arrested at her home. Bresaw called Guldbrandsen’s request for $50,000 cash bail “egregious” and “very high,” which was “sanctioning her for the charges.” Guldbrandsen told the court that the state is “well aware” of the time that passed between the accident and the arrest, but repeated that “the accident was an egregious offense.”
At the press conference Police Chief Chris Adams acknowledged that the lengthy investigation was “a very difficult time for the families” and thanked them for their patience. He was echoed by Guldbrandsen who said “this was a very thorough and careful investigation by the Laconia Police Department, in which nearly every officer participated.” She said that the Belknap County Accident Reconstruction Team, led by Sergeant Al Graton of the Laconia Police, conducted an extensive investigation that only concluded last month and laboratory analysis was performed not only by the New Hampshire State Police but also by a laboratory in Pennsylvania. “Many different factors contributed to this accident,” said Guldbrandsen, who said she still considers the case “an ongoing investigation.” At the arraignment Guldbrandsen, stressing the seriousness of the offenses and the danger LaFond posed to the community asked to court to set cash bail at $50,000. Describing what happened on April 19, she told the court that “the accident alone represents her dangerousness to the community.” Guldbrandsen then turned to the evidence, noting that blood tests found “numerous prescription drugs in her (LaFond’s) system,” including highly elevated levels of oxycodone. Attorney John Bresaw, representing LaFond firmly objected to introducing evidence, which he had no opportunity to assess. But, Carroll let Guldbrandsen proceed to explain that although LaFond had been prescribed oxycodone, she was found in possession of a 30 milligram tablet, for which she had no prescription. When she went on to claim that LaFond had illicitly purchased oxycodone on the day of the collision, Bresaw again objected. Noting that LaFond also possessed gabapentin without a prescription, Guldbrandsen said that it reflected “a course of conduct of abusing nonprescription and prescription drugs,” prompting another objection from Bresaw. Guldbrandsen further disclosed

Northfield’s Bert Southwick celebrates 90th birthday at dedication of school grounds’ shelter for his old egg wagon By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
NORTHFIELD — This community’s beloved ‘’egg man’’ celebrated his 90th birthday in a very public way yesterday, at a dedication ceremony at the school which bears his name and the shelter which houses the horse-drawn wagon that he used for 75 years to deliver eggs to homes in Tilton and Northfield. Bert Southwick, who still lives on the same 250-acre farm his family bought in 1918 on Zion Hill Road and in the same house where he was born, has been widely celebrated in feature articles in newspapers and magazines as well as on television for his simple, frugal Yankee lifestyle and droll New England humor. With the exception of a few years with the National Guard in the late 1940s and a brief stay in Franklin Hospital shortly after Christmas of 2001, when he suffered broken ribs and a bout with pneumonia as the result of an accident when he was run over by his delivery wagon, Southwick has spent every night at the farm. He says that he’s never taken a vacation, nor eaten a meal in a restaurant, and that the wagon that he has used all these years was purchased for $25 in Laconia in 1937 and was in constant use every Friday until he retired it about a year and a half ago due to problems with a leg that make it difficult for him to get in and out of it. But he still delivers eggs every Friday, riding in a pickup truck driven by his friend Harold Kelley, who filled in for him while he was hospitalized and has been driving him on his route during the winter months.
Each week he delivers about 100 dozen eggs, priced at $2 a dozen, and can recall years in which he delivered as many as 250 dozen. In all he’s delivered over six million eggs and chalked up enough miles on his egg wagon to have crossed the United States from coast to coast eight times. He never married and has been alone at his farm, which is still heated by wood, ever since his late sister Edna moved into an assisted living facility about 12 years ago. Southwick sold land to the Winnisquam Regional School District in 1994 for a new elementary school, which would later be named the Southwick School by a vote of students at the Union-Sanborn School, who were selected to choose a name for the new school. Over the years he’s been a constant friend of the school, bringing cornstalks and pumpkins to the school every fall according to Southwick School Principal Rich Hines, who told people at yesterday’s gathering at the school that Southwick donated his egg wagon to the school a year and a half ago. Dylan Hoffman, a former student at Southwick School who was looking for a project to earn his Eagle Scout badge, decided to build a shelter for the wagon so that it could be displayed on the school grounds. ‘’It was a lot of work and doing the research was hard. But a lot of people helped me out.’’ said Hoffman at yesterday’s ceremony as he described how the shelter was built and how those who worked with him cleaned and painted the wagon so that it now looks, as he says, ‘’as good as new. ‘’

ACCIDENT?
Police provide court with details of downtown heroin bust; Laconia man held on $25k cash bail By Gail OBer
LACONIA — The man arrested by a sheriff’s deputy Tuesday afternoon in the municipal parking lot between Main and Pleasant Streets had been disarmed by the arresting officer before he fought and then tried to flee. Police affidavits reported Joseph D. Morrissette, 23, of 205 Court Street was spotted leaning into the rear passenger side of motor vehicle that had partially obstructed the Main Street entrance to the parking lot. There was a male driving and a woman sitting in the passenger seat. It was incorrectly reported in Tuesday’s paper that he had been a passenger in the car. Following his video appearance yesterday in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, Judge Jim Carroll ordered Morrissette held on $25,000 cash-only bail. He is charged with two counts of possession of narcotics with intent to sell them, two counts of possession of narcotics, one count of resisting arrest and one count of simple assault. At the time of his arrest, Morrissette was on personal recognizance bail for alleged previous drug activity in April. Affidavits obtained from the court yesterday said Deputy E. Justin Blanchette had arrested Morrissette before Tuesday’s incident for drug possession and that he had seen pictures on Morrissette’s phone of him holding a gun. Police also said Blanchette had
gotten information from a detective from the Laconia Police Department about an alleged prior heroin sale. Blanchette said when he saw the awkwardly parked car, he approached and asked the driver what was happening. He said the driver seemed nervous and Morrissette answered the question, telling Blanchette he was “just getting a hair cut.” Blanchette said he saw a knife in Morrissette’s front pants pocket and held onto Morrisette’s hand while he retrieved it from him and put it on the roof of the parked car. He said the driver of the car kept looking around so Blanchette asked him to shut off the car while he figured out what was happening. Affidavits said the driver shut off the car and immediately restarted it — telling Blanchette he was going to park in the parking lot. Instead he drove quickly down Main Street. Blanchette said he grabbed Morrissette’s arm and he “tensed up and started to pull away.” Concerned that he had another weapon, Blanchette said he told him he wanted to check him for more weapons. He said Morrissette pulled away and Blanchette showed him his canister of pepper spray and warned him to cooperate. He said when Morrissette pulled away again he sprayed him in the face. Morrissette began running and Blanchette said he fell “several times” at one point pulling off his shirt to get away from Blanchette who had grabbed it.
INSURANCE from page 2 90 percent. The second-lowest-cost silver plan is important because tax credits are keyed to its cost in local areas. The administration report found that factoring in tax credits, a 27-year-old making $25,000 a year would see the premium for the benchmark silver plan drop to $145 in nearly every state, including New Hampshire. But if that hypothetical young adult used the tax credit to buy the cheapest bronze plan, he or she could cut the monthly premium to $94 in New Hampshire. In 2010, premiums in New Hampshire’s individual markets averaged $294 per month, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. For a family of four making $50,000, the monthly premium for the benchmark silver plan would be $859 in New Hampshire, compared to a
national average of $774, but it would drop to $282 with the tax credit. If the family used its tax credit to buy the cheapest bronze plan, the premium would be $96 a month, $1 more than the national average. Anthem has faced criticism for creating a smaller provider network for its individual plans. The network will include 74 percent of the state’s primary care providers, 85 percent of specialists and 16 of the state’s 26 acute-care hospitals. Hospitals in particular have complained about being left out, but Anthem officials have said including all hospitals would have made it impossible to keep premiums low. Network hospitals agreed to reimbursement rate concessions in exchange for the promise of a certain volume of patients, and without those concessions, premiums would have been 30 percent higher.

Oracle beats New Zealand to complete amazing comeback & keep America’s Cup SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The big black cat almost used up its last life at the start, burying its bows in a wave and falling behind a boatload of Kiwis. Of course, it was only fitting in this America’s Cup that Oracle Team USA would need to survive neardefeat again. With one last spectacular push in a winner-takeall finale Wednesday, the United States managed to hang onto the Auld Mug in closing out the longest, fastest and, by far, wildest America’s Cup ever with one of the greatest comebacks in sports. Skipper Jimmy Spithill steered Oracle’s space-age, 72-foot catamaran to its eighth straight victory, speeding past Dean Barker and Team New Zealand in Race 19 on a San Francisco Bay course bordered by the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and the Embarcadero. All but defeated a week ago, the 34-year-old Aus-
tralian and his international crew twice rallied from seven-point deficits to win 9-8. Owned by software billionaire Larry Ellison, Oracle Team USA was docked two points for illegally modifying boats in warmup regattas and had to win 11 races to keep the trophy. It could have been over shortly after the start just inside the Golden Gate Bridge. Oracle’s hulking black catamaran — with a giant No. 17 on each hull — buried its twin bows in a wave approaching the first mark and Barker turned his redand-black cat around the buoy with a 7-second lead. The New Zealanders were game despite being stranded on match point for a week. Spithill and crew still had to sail their best to keep from becoming the third American loser in 30 years. Oracle narrowed Team New Zealand’s lead to 3 seconds turning onto the third leg, the only time the
boats sail into the wind. New Zealand had the lead the first time the boats crossed on opposite tacks. By the time they crossed again, the American boat — with only one American on its 11-man crew — had the lead. As Oracle worked to stay ahead, tactician Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic gold medalist from Britain, implored his mates by saying, “This is it. This is it. Working your (rears) off.” It had to be a gut-wrenching moment in New Zealand — coming so close to winning the oldest trophy in international sports a week ago, only to see Oracle suddenly improve its speed. Oracle’s shore team had made changes to the black cat every night in its big boatshed on Pier 80 to make its cat a speed freak.
GILFORD from page one a conforming use, may not be resumed. Translated, it means that if Drew and Lyons wants to have any adult entertainment on the premises, which included wet T-shirt contests, hot legs contests, and the like, he must go to the Gilford Zoning Board of Adjustments and appeal Ayer’s decision. Selectmen had already “carved out” the exotic dancing portion of the approval. According to materials distributed at last night’s meeting, Fire Chief Steve Carrier has approved all of Drew’s and Lyon’s required place-of-assembly permits. There was no written or verbal communication offered last night from Acting Police Chief James Leach. Drew was represented by Bownes at last night’s meeting, who agreed to the conditions offered by selectmen, telling them he expected the liquor commission to issue the permit within a few weeks at the longest. He also assured the selectmen he would be taking the zoning restriction to the ZBA. Selectmen also met Lyons, Drew’s new partner, for
the first time last night. He told them he lives in Hampton, is a commercial fisherman, and owns and operates a vending machine and video game company. Among his local clients, he said, is the Winnipesaukee Pier. Lyons told selectmen he would be at the cafe six days a week and that he didn’t expect to have live entertainment on Sundays but would likely have a sports night. Drew, who lives on the property in a separate home, said he too would be an active manager in the business. In it’s Mardi Gras North days, Drew leased the business to a company and played little to no day-to-day role in its management. He also said the business would be run differently than the Mardi Gras North night club — a business that ended up the target of a N.H. Drug Task Force raid in October of 2011 that resulted in seven arrests — five of whom were strippers who worked or had worked at the club. Four of the strippers were convicted or pleaded guilty to a variety of drug charges in Belknap County Superior Court and served or are serving
sentences. At press time the outcome of one of the dancers and the two male patrons who were also arrested is unknown. “It will be clean,” Lyons said. “No Hells Angels.” Lyons was likely referring to a rumor that spread through Gilford after the drug raid that identified the establishment as a popular spot for members of the motorcycle club. The truth or falsity of that rumor has never before been discussed in public and there is nothing unlawful about members of any motorcycle club patronizing any business. He also assured selectmen that he runs a “tight ship” or people will be fired. He also said he wasn’t a fan of “the juke box crowd” but preferred live bands that draw a different kind of crowd. Lyons told selectmen he and Drew deliberately chose to open the business in the fall so they could iron out the kinks before the busy summer season arrives that is traditionally kicked off by the annual Motorcycle Week in June.

Jazz Bar hosts Wendy Nottonson and John Funkhouser LACONIA — The Jazz Bar will present Wendy Nottonson and the John Funkhouser Trio tonight at 7 p.m. Charlie Farren will open the show. Wendy Nottonson is a dynamic vocalist who has gained recognition for her singular timing, phrasing, vocal agility and linguistic diversity. Her influences span from Ella Fitzgerald, Carmen McRae, and Betty Carter to Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and Eva Cassidy. Her CD “Lover Man” has been fondly received, with one critic celebrating that her “voice rests on a lilty vibrato, her teasing approaches suggest Ella (Fitzgerald), and she perfectly juxtaposes quick successions of lyrics with drawn out melodic stretches.” (Eric Weld, jazz critic) Charlie Farren has long been known for great Supervisor of the Checklist Gilmanton New Hampshire The Town of Gilmanton is looking to fill a vacancy for a Supervisor of the Checklist.

Alone onstage with acoustic guitar in hand, Charlie captures an audience with his unique delivery, insightful lyrics, memorable songs, soaring vocal, and subtle yet innovative guitar style. It wasn’t always quite so subtle, as Charlie formed this original self-taught style with a history of successful, hard-crunching rock bands throughout the 1980s. Farren emerged onto the national scene in the early ‘80s as lead singer and guitarist with the Joe Perry Project. In that band Charlie established himself as one of the hottest young singers to emerge from the Boston music scene, writing the hits ‘Listen to The Rock’ and ‘East Coast, West Coast’ and ‘I’ve

Youth Waterfowl Hunting Weekend is this Saturday & Sunday CONCORD — New Hampshire’s 2013 Youth Waterfowl Hunting Weekend will be held statewide on Saturday and Sunday, September 28-29. To participate, youth must be age 15 or younger and must be accompanied by a properly licensed adult age 18 or older. The adult may not hunt. The youth does not need a hunting license or duck stamp. “The youth weekend is a great way to get kids involved in waterfowl hunting. It gives them a chance to go with an adult who knows the sport, at a time when it’s still fairly warm and good numbers of birds are around,” said Ed Robinson, waterfowl biologist for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. “Quality time spent with a child during the youth weekend can help instill in them an appreciation of hunting lore, ethics and our outdoor environment.” All regular season waterfowl regulations, including shooting hours, use of non-toxic shot, etc., apply during the youth weekend. Specific seasons and bag limits for various waterfowl are listed on the Fish and Game website at http://www.huntnh.com/Hunting/Hunt_species/hunt_waterfowl.htm.
Youth Leadership program will fund team projects
LACONIA — Granite United Way and Laconia School District – Project Extra recently presented a new “Youth Leadership” program for Laconia students. The program has been developed to provide positive, long lasting change within our local community through a previously untapped resource...... our youth. The program supports young adults, ages 10 –20, in the implementation of a youth-created, youth-led project. Each “team” that successfully launches a project will develop leadership, project management, entrepreneurial, community outreach, and communication skills. Team projects must be sustainable and benefit the community in some way; a completed business plan is an additional requirement. Each team presents their project to a 3 -5 person community panel for approval to receive up to $1,000 per team for project start-up funds. Granite United Way has contributed $5,000, while Laconia’s Project Extra has set aside $2,000 to support this effort. Those who wish to participate as a mentor or on the community panel to approve projects can cpntact: Ken Martin, Laconia High School – Project Extra Site Director, kmartin@laconiaschools.org, 524-3350 x4123

Get Fuzzy

would be harder for you. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Relationships have their ups and downs, and this is definitely a high point. Spending time with the one you love makes your heart feel so light that it’s as though your whole being is gravity-resistant. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Learning that happens slowly will stick with you. Take large endeavors in small chunks, and don’t stress over them. After a small amount of effort, put your tools down and let things seep in. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). A better structure to your finances will improve your lot in November and December. By February, you’ll have enough for a substantial investment. In 2014, you’ll break out of a stale routine to pursue a wild and exciting undertaking. A team will join in your purpose, but first you have to ask. Choose your crew carefully. Virgo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 1, 22, 27 and 41.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re happier when you feel you have too much to do than when you feel you don’t have enough to do. For you, it’s a joy to be busy as long as you’re doing something meaningful. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You see a shortcut, but you won’t compromise your morals for anything, not even to achieve one of your most important goals. Goals achieved through amoral means do not provide satisfaction. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). It is sometimes not worthwhile to fix things or fight for things. Fixing will only work for a short time. Fighting will only strengthen your opposition. Drop it and move forward. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Hungry people behave differently from satisfied people. Do what you can to feed your various needs and wants, and you will avoid the pitfalls that ensnare those who hungrily take the bait. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s not that you need life to be constantly exciting, but you do your best to entertain yourself and others through some of the duller bits. This tendency of yours will charm someone new today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The cure for low self-esteem is not to come up with a more reasonable estimation of what you can do. Rather, it’s to stop thinking you always have to “do.” You’re worthy just because you are. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Opinions aren’t facts. It’s easier to see this when the opinions in question are someone else’s. Examining your own thoughts is trickier, but you’ll do it and correct an erroneous notion. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your sense of humor will be highlighted. What makes you funny is that you’re so in love with the truth, and you have a way of stating it that makes people laugh instead of take offense. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Agreements that yield mutual satisfaction will be repeated, while unfair arrangements won’t work for very long. That’s why it’s important to make sure that everyone shares in the profits. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Because you care so deeply for someone, you will knock yourself out in an effort to make this person happy. Today this won’t be easy, but not caring

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 26, the 269th day of 2013. There are 96 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 26, 1789, Thomas Jefferson was confirmed by the Senate to be the first United States secretary of state; John Jay, the first chief justice; Edmund Randolph, the first attorney general. On this date: In 1777, British troops occupied Philadelphia during the American Revolution. In 1892, John Philip Sousa and his newly formed band performed publicly for the first time, at the Stillman Music Hall in Plainfield, N.J. In 1914, the Federal Trade Commission was established. In 1918, the Meuse-Argonne offensive, resulting in an Allied victory against the Germans, began during World War I. In 1937, the radio drama “The Shadow,” starring Orson Welles, premiered on the Mutual Broadcasting System. In 1952, philosopher George Santayana died in Rome at age 88. In 1955, following word that President Dwight D. Eisenhower had suffered a heart attack, the New York Stock Exchange saw its worst price decline since 1929. In 1960, the first debate between presidential nominees took place in Chicago as Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon faced off before a national TV audience. In 1962, Maury Wills of the Los Angeles Dodgers stole his 100th base during a 13-1 victory over the Houston Colt .45s. “The Beverly Hillbillies” premiered on CBS. The cult film “Carnival of Souls” premiered in Lawrence, Kan., where parts of it had been filmed. In 1969, the family comedy series “The Brady Bunch” premiered on ABC-TV. In 1986, William H. Rehnquist was sworn in as the 16th chief justice of the United States, while Antonin Scalia joined the Supreme Court as its 103rd member. In 1990, the Motion Picture Association of America announced it had created a new rating, NC-17, to replace the X rating. In 1991, four men and four women began a two-year stay inside a sealed-off structure in Oracle, Ariz., called Biosphere 2. They emerged from the structure on this date in 1993. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin (POO’-tihn) opened a two-day summit at Camp David. Five years ago: Hollywood screen legend and philanthropist Paul Newman died in Westport, Conn. at age 83. In their first debate of the presidential campaign, held at the University of Mississippi, Republican John McCain portrayed himself as a battle-tested elder running against a naive rookie, while Democrat Barack Obama suggested McCain was a hothead who’d made the wrong choices on the Iraq war, corporate taxes and more. Swiss pilot Yves Rossy leapt from a plane over Calais, France, and crossed the English Channel on a homemade jet-propelled wing in 13 minutes. One year ago: President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both campaigned in Ohio, where Romney said his Massachusetts health care law was proof that he cared about ordinary Americans.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 26, 2013— Page 23
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I started dating “Zach” 18 months ago and have been living with him for almost a year. Things are perfect except for one thing. Before we met, Zach dated another girl for three years before me. She was horrible and hurtful toward him. When I began seeing Zach, his ex started harassing me to the point where I had to take out a restraining order against her. The problem is, Zach’s older sister is still in constant contact with the ex. She always talks about her in front of me and even allows the ex to babysit her children. She often invites the ex to go places with her and posts pictures of the two of them on Facebook. Zach has had many fights with his sister about this, telling her how hurtful it is to both of us, yet she still continues to do it. I’ve tried everything possible to make his sister like me, but I can’t keep competing with the ex. It’s causing a strain between Zach and his sister. I don’t have issues with anyone else in his family. What can I do to get the ex out of the picture permanently? -- The Current Woman in His Life Dear Current: Zach’s sister is doing this for one of two reasons: Either she likes getting your goat, in which case, your response is very gratifying for her. Or, she doesn’t want you to dictate who her friends can be. Either way, your response should be the same: Ignore it. If her main purpose is to annoy you, she will become bored with the tactic when she sees it has no effect. And if she is truly friends with this woman, the relationship is not your business. The added benefit of ignoring it is that Zach will be grateful. You already have his total support, and that is what counts. Dear Annie: I recently bought my first smartphone and have yet to figure out the proper etiquette for using it in public. I was taught that it is rude to answer one’s phone
when in the midst of a conversation. I believe this also goes for texting or using apps. I try to avoid using my phone while at social events. If I have to make a call or respond to a message, I excuse myself to another room. Lately, I have noticed people using their phones in all types of situations that I would consider inappropriate. Are these people just oblivious to the standards of respect that should be shown to others, or have the standards changed? Is there a good set of rules to follow when using my smartphone in public? Also, how can I politely let people know that their phone use is making me feel ignored? -Confused College Kid Dear College Kid: May we clone you? Basic phone etiquette says that you do not take a call when you are with someone else. Letting it disturb your conversation indicates that the call is more important than the person you are with. If it is an emergency, excuse yourself and call back. Try not to speak too loudly. Every person around shouldn’t be privy to your conversation. (It is also a safety issue in case you are giving out personal information.) If someone ignores you to answer a call or play Angry Birds, ask them nicely to please put their phone away. If they still cannot focus their attention on you, say, “I can see that you are busy. I’ll talk to you later.” Dear Annie: This is for “Torn Grandma,” who babysits for her granddaughter who may be allergic to Grandma’s dog. Perhaps Grandma could watch her granddaughter in the child’s home or in a dog-free room that has an air filter running daily. The child should be tested to be sure it’s the dog that is truly the cause of her reaction. -- Your Local Veterinarian

Tri-Rivers Friends of NRA holding N.H. Electric Co-op’s Lisa Sheehy dinner and fund raiser on Saturday wins customer service award FRANKLIN — A fundraiser to benefit the NRA Foundation will be held on the evening of Saturday, Sept 28 at the Elks Lodge in Franklin. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and there will be door prizes, bucket raffles, silent and live auctions and games. No speeches or talks allowed, just plenty of good fellowship. The meal features roast prime rib and baked stuffed chicken breast. Tickets to the event are $35 per person. Last year around one in six attendees went home owning a new firearm. The NRA Foundation is a 501-c-3 (tax code) Charitable Foundation (separate from the NRA organization) and was formed in 1992 to provide grants for the promotion and enhancement of the shooting sports and firearms safety. The
total funds raised and granted nationally is now over $250 million with around $700,000 raised in New Hampshire in the past sixteen years. 100% of the monies raised is given out in grants each year as the NRA pays the salary and expenses of the NRA rep who coodinates the events in NH and the events are all organized and run by volunteers. The Gun of the Year this year is a Weatherby Vangard Series 2 Eurosport .270 with a Leupold VX 7 scope. Someone will head home on Sept 28 owning one. For further information or to reserve a ticket, call Fred Allen, Chair, Tri Rivers FNRA Fundraising Committee, at 603-968-9944 or email to fredallendvm@myfairpoint.net

Fish & Game holding public hearing Sept. 30 on proposed changes to rules CONCORD — A public hearing will be held on proposed changes to the state’s Hunter Education rules on Monday, September 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive in Concord. Fish and Game is proposing to combine the basic hunter education program and the specialized bowhunter education program into one course referred to simply as “hunter education.” Separate bowhunter education courses would be offered only for the next calendar year, allowing an opportunity for those currently holding Hunter Education certificates to add the bowhunter certification without taking the combined course. Bowhunting topics would be added to the hunter education course and practical field examination. In addition, the proposed rules would set a minimum course length of 15 hours and a maximum length of 18 hours for Hunter Education courses. Hunter Education instructors would be required, as part of their certification renewal, to teach at least two hunter education courses,
instead of one, in a two-year certification period; Master Hunter Instructor Trainers would be required to assist with one audit or one new instructor training each year; and Hunter Education instructors would be required to submit course information to the Fish and Game Department within 30 days of course completion. “We are continually working to improve the Hunter Education experience in New Hampshire. Right now, there is quite a bit of duplication between hunter education and bowhunter education classes; this proposal would streamline the process for those needing both certifications and provide useful information for all participants,” said Fish and Game Hunter Education Coordinator Joshua Mackay. “In addition, by setting maximum and minimum course hours, we are aiming to improve the consistency of the material presented in Hunter Education classes.” The complete rulemaking notices, with original and proposed rule language, can be viewed at http://www. wildnh.com/Legislative/Notices_summary.htm.
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 26, 2013— Page 27
COAL TAR from page one the plan which will be presented for approval calls for 93,000 cubic yards of soil to be excavated, with between 39,000 and 44,000 cubic yards removed from the site for treatment. Another 54,000 cubic yards will be stored on site and reused in the backfill operation. In all some 66,000 tons of material will be removed by large dump trucks over a two-year period. Ash said that he anticipates that 12 to 16 trucks a day will be hauling contaminated material from the site, but that work will be suspended during the winter of 2014-15. Truck traffic will be tightly controlled according to Ash, who said that the plan calls for four trucks at a time to enter the site, where none will leave until they are all filled, and there will be flaggers directing traffic at the junction of Liberty Hill Road and Country Club Drive. He said that work will be done in two phases, with the South phase being completed in the first year and the North phase in the second year. The first phase will see the work area completely backfilled and covered before the second phase starts. The area to be excavated includes four house lots — 69, 77, 83 and 87 Liberty Hill Road— with the densest concentrations of coal tar on numbers 77 and 83. ROBBERY from page one tall. He was wearing a dark “hoodie” and black jeans. Police ask that anyone with information about the robbery call 524-5252 or leave an anonymous tip on the Crime Line at 524-1717.
The plan calls for excavating an area shaped like a figure-eight stretching more than 500 feet parallel to Liberty Hill Road and extending to more than 200 feet at its widest point above the waist at 83 Liberty Hill Road. It will be enclosed by 1,748 feet — the length of nearly six football fields — of six-foot high fencing which will be screened with fabric to make excavation work less visible. A number of site controls will be in place, including an air monitoring system which will check for volatile compounds, dust and odors. Ash said that since coal tar contains naphthalene, an ingredient used in mothballs, there may be a smell similar to mothballs at times but that the level at which it would be considered harmful is many times higher than the level at which it is detected by human smell. There will also be vibration monitoring and noise monitoring, as well as a system for de-watering and treatment of excavated materials. ‘’That water will be run through de-watering and treatment and the water will be tested before any of it is discharged,’’ said Ash. The projected schedule for the project includes
demolishing of structures in October, presentation of the final design plan in October, selection of a contractor in January, another public meeting in Gilford in February and the start of construction in March. Kathy Lacroix, a Liberty Hill resident, asked if the de-watering operation on site would lower the natural water table of the area and Ash said it wouldn’t. She also questioned whether any of the work would be done on weekends and was told that Saturday was a potential work day and that any hauling would be dependent on the pace of the project and meeting deadlines for completion of each phase. Selectman Kevin Hayes asked if the contractor would be asked to repair any of the road damaged by 6,000 loads of material being moved over it and officials from Liberty Utilities said that at the end of the project damaged parts of the road would be repaired or resurfaced. Residents of the area were advised that Liberty Utilities would have a process in place to document the condition of their homes, including cellar walls and chimneys, prior to the start of construction, which would be useful in the event of any construction-related damage claims.
DOCTOR from page 2 dren’s Hospital. The doctors were in Bakersfield, 110 miles north of Los Angeles, for a summit on valley fever, a fungal respiratory infection that has surged in California and the Southwest. Some of the nation’s top doctors attended Monday’s meeting, including Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and
Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health. Johnson, chief of infectious diseases at Kern Medical Center, had appeared on stage with Frieden and Collins earlier that day. Frieden was at the restaurant that night and monitored Larwood’s pulse as Johnson cleared her airway, Krogstad said.
