CONCORD (AP) — Don’t be surprised if you spot a moose wearing a collar. He or she is not a pet but part of a new study of the Granite State’s declining moose population.

New Hampshire’s moose population has dropped dramatically from 7,600 to 4,400.

Fish and Game veteran moose biologist Kristine Rines said her division teamed up with the University of New Hampshire to put tracking collars on nearly 100 moose cows and calves to study how long they live and to get them soon after they die.

Rines says shorter winters are spawning an increase in winter ticks and brainworm — a parasite transmitted by deer.

She said even if the ticks don’t kill the moose, they can sap the weight of moose cows so much that their fertility is affected.

She said concerns about the dwindling moose population have promoted a drop in moose hunting permits from 675 to 275 in the past six years.

Obama tries to persuade skeptical of wisdom of attack on Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama worked on Monday to persuade skeptical lawmakers to endorse a U.S. military intervention in civil warwracked Syria, winning conditional support from two leading Senate foreign policy hawks even as he encountered resistance from members of his own party after two days of a determined push to sell the plan.

Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said Obama still needs to make a strong case for attacking the regime of President Bashar

Assad, but they toned down past criticism that the president’s plan was too weak to change the course of the fighting in Syria in favor of the opposition.

“We have to make it clear that a vote against this would be catastrophic in its consequences,” now and in future international crises, McCain told reporters outside the White House following an hour-long private meeting that he and Graham had with Obama and White House national security adviser Susan Rice.

But the outcome of any vote remained

in doubt amid continued skepticism in a war-weary Congress. Several Democrats in a conference call with administration officials pushed back against military action, questioning both the intelligence about a chemical attack last month outside Damascus and the value of an intervention to United States interests, according to aides on the call. Others demanded narrower authorization than that requested by the administration.

“The White House has put forward a prosee OBAMA page 3

Syria’s Assad warns that U.S. strike would lead to regional war

PARIS (AP) — France released an intelligence report on Monday alleging chemical weapons use by Syria’s regime that dovetailed with similar U.S. claims, as President Bashar Assad warned that any military strike against his country would spark an uncontrollable regional war and spread “chaos and extremism.”

The verbal crossfire, including a rejection of the Western allegations by longtime Syrian ally Russia, was part of frenzied efforts on both sides to court international

public opinion after President Barack Obama said he would seek authorization from Congress before launching any military action against Assad’s regime.

In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Assad was quoted as saying that Syria has challenged the U.S. and France to provide proof to support their allegations, but that their leaders “have been incapable of doing that, including before their own peoples.”

“If the Americans, the French or the

British had a shred of proof, they would have shown it beginning on the first day,” he said, deriding Obama as “weak” and having buckled to U.S. domestic political pressure.

“We believe that a strong man is one who prevents war, not one who inflames it,” Assad said.

French President Francois Hollande and Obama have been the two world leaders most vocally calling for action against see SYRIA page 3

92-year-old comes up short in bid to swim across Little Squam

ASHLAND(AP) — A 92-year-old ex-Marine known as the Paddling Professor came up short Monday in his bid to swim 2 miles across a lake and had to be removed from the water and treated for exposure to the cold.

Harry Briggs, who has swum across Lake Erie, in shark-infested waters between Corsica and Sardinia and 30 miles around Lake Winnipesaukee, was trying to swim across Little Squam Lake and raise money from sponsors for the Plymouth State University women’s tennis team, whose members cheered him on.

He entered the water Monday afternoon at Riveredge Marina in Ashland. He made it about twothirds of the way to his destination at Walter’s Basin Restaurant in Holderness. He planned to swim along the shoreline so he wouldn’t drift off course, but he battled a strong headwind during the swim and had to be pulled out and treated for hypothermia, spokesman Mike Moffett said.

Briggs, who was doing OK after the aborted Labor Day swim, said he wasn’t able to see well in the water because of the wind. He said he was going to recharge his batteries for a while before deciding what to do next.

Briggs said before his swim that his body can’t handle the low water temperatures like it did in 1957 when he became the first person to swim 32 miles across Lake Erie and had to be treated for hypothermia.

“My skills have eroded, but I still feel I’m worth something,” he said in a recent telephone interview.

Briggs, a tennis fan and player, made the Little Squam Lake swim with the university’s support.

The university’s athletics director, John Clark, said it appreciated his efforts and interest in supporting women’s tennis.

Briggs splits his time between Campton in the summer and Leesville, La., where he teaches political science at Northwestern State University, in the winter. He said he likes the water temperature of Louisiana’s lakes, about 85 degrees, better than New Hampshire’s cooler temperatures but has to watch out for poisonous water moccasins and alligators.

Briggs started marathon swimming in the mid1950s. But the swimming took a toll on his body, and at the urging of his wife he stopped the marathons in 1964. He and his wife started playing tennis.

OBAMA from preceding page posed bill authorizing the use of force that, as drafted, is far too broad and open ended, and could be used to justify everything from a limited cruise missile strike to a no fly zone and the introduction of American ground troops,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a member of the House intelligence committee.

Obama has insisted that he will not send troops into Syria and that he was considering a military operation that was limited in duration and scope.

The White House said Monday that Obama was open to working with Congress to make changes to the language of the resolution.

In a post on his website, Democratic Rep. Rick Nolan of Minnesota reflected a view shared by others: “I want you to know that I am vehemently opposed to a military strike that would clearly be an act of war against Syria, especially under such tragic yet confusing circumstances as to who is responsible for the use of chemical weapons.”

After changing course and deciding to seek congres-

sional approval for military action, Obama is confronted with one of his most difficult foreign policy tests and faces a Congress divided over an unavoidably tough voteof-conscience on overseas conflict rather than the more customary partisan fights over domestic policy.

“My impression is that a lot of people are up for grabs,” McCain said.

Following months of rejecting direct intervention in Syria, Obama and his aides now want to strike at the Assad regime in response to a reported chemical attack that the Obama administration says was carried out by Assad’s military. The administration says more than 1,400 people were killed, including more than 400 children.

Obama was trying to find a middle ground that would attract a majority in the House and the Senate — a difficult task complicated further because Obama is leaving for a three-day trip to Europe Tuesday night, visiting Stockholm, Sweden, and then attending an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia.

SYRIA from preceding page Assad’s regime, accusing it of carrying out a deadly chemical attack against rebel-held suburbs of Damascus on Aug. 21.

The U.S. said it has proof that the Assad regime is behind attacks that Washington claims killed at least 1,429 people, including more than 400 children. Those numbers are significantly higher than the death toll of 355 provided by the aid group Doc-

tors Without Borders.

It has marked an intolerable escalation in a twoyear civil war in Syria that has left some 100,000 people dead.

The Syrian government denies the allegations, and blames opposition fighters. In the Figaro interview, Assad questioned whether an attack took place at all and refused to say whether his forces have chemical weapons, as is widely believed.

Several decades ago the public wanted to lower the moose population to reduce the rate of moose-vehicle collisions, and the declining population did accomplish that. She said these collisions have dropped in the last 15 years from upward of 265 a year to about 170 a year now.

Rines said Minnesota is experiencing similar trends in the decline of its moose population, and has ended its moose hunting season.

The study being undertaken in conjunction with the University of New Hampshire is the first comprehensive look at the moose population in more than a decade, Rines said.

“And he fell on the ground and said, ‘Grandma, my baby got shot! My baby got shot, Grandma!’” said Steele, flanked by community group leaders and mayoral candidate Bill Thompson. “He was such a beautiful little baby, smiling and talking to everybody.”

Grief and outrage over Antiq’s shooting loomed over the annual West Indian Day Parade about a mile and a half away, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the killing “a tragedy for his family, for this community, for the entire city” and political candidates talked about gun violence.

Four shots were fired, and one hit Antiq in the left side of his head; he was declared dead on arrival at a hospital.

Actuarially speaking How many readers would like to buy their auto, home, health, or life insurance from a company that does not make a profit? Probably not many. What if that unprofitable company offered better rates than anyone else? While some might be tempted to accept the lower rate offer, good judgment would probably lead most people to purchase their policy from a more stable, and profitable, company.

The first rule of insurability is that the insured’s risk cannot cause loss to the multitude simultaneously.

By pooling large numbers of people across a broad base into insurable risk categories, no one, or many, individual losses can cause loss “to the multitude, simultaneously”. It’s the work of the insurance company actuaries to determine the odds on how many of the insured in their pool will suffer loss at any given time.

The reason for mentioning actuaries, and their importance, is to highlight how those actuarial functions change, or cease to exist, in the Affordable Care Act, aka “Obamacare”. Some examples.

— Under Obamacare, no one can be denied insurance based on a preexisting condition. Without question, no one wants to deny insurance to someone who needs it. However, without question, the increased cost to the insurance companies will result in increasing the premium cost to other, more healthy people.

Another issue is, what if a young healthy person decides to pay the “fine” rather than purchase insurance? Later, that individual becomes seriously ill and requires very costly surgery or other medical care. It appears that under Obamacare, that person cannot be denied coverage on demand. If that’s the case, the insurance companies will have to include that potential into their actuarial calculations, thereby forcing those who do comply with the law to essentially pay for those who don’t.

— The president has told us that under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies must pay out in benefits, a minimum of 80 percent of what monies are collected in premiums. This presidential edict that insurance company overhead cannot exceed 20 percent of the premiums collected sounds good, but is it really?

Years ago I took some insurance courses. One of the things I learned was that (at that time) 65 percent of the first year’s premium went to underwriting, policy issuance, claim processing, and sales commissions, etc. While there may be some difference in today’s numbers, the only way the insurance companies can comply with the edict is to have a relatively low turnover in policy holders. If a business seeking health insurance for their employees has a high personnel turnover rate, an insurance company simply cannot provide insurance

without substantially increasing premium costs. It is for this reason that MacDonald’s was given a presidential waiver, early on.

— Another much talked about issue is to be able to buy insurance “across state lines”. This “sounds good” solution is a nightmare and kills off any semblance of actuarial input. Under Obamacare, no mention is made of “tort reform”. However, without such reform the rising costs of malpractice insurance will continue to grow. For example, a number of OB-GYN physicians have decided to retire because, depending on the state and location, the cost of malpractice insurance is excessively high.

For example, (using 2009 numbers) internal medicine physicians in Minnesota would pay about $4,000 a year for malpractice insurance but in Florida, their cost would be $56,000. For general surgeons in Minnesota, malpractice insurance would be in the $10,000 range, but in Florida, $90,000. One of the most costly coverage is for OB-GYNs. In Minnesota they paid about $17,000, while in Florida, the annual premiums were upwards of $200,000.

Of course the physicians have no choice but to set their prices to their patients to cover these costs.

In these examples, if Florida’s doctor’s (or Florida’s citizens) rushed to buy their insurance across state lines in Minnesota, actuarially, Minnesota’s insurers would have to raise their premium rates to reflect the Florida realities, which would thereby increase the rates paid by the Minnesota (and other state’s) physicians. Of course these increases would be imposed on the patients in those other states.

— This leads to the need for “tort reform”, which been totally ignored. Litigation costs are a healthy part of medical expenses. The examples cited above are not fairy tales, they are reality. While the federal government has ignored the litigation problems, the State of Pennsylvania enacted some fairly simple tort reform laws that have caused malpractice lawsuits to drop over 40 percent yearly. These two measures weren’t draconian, they were common sense. The first rule change was that attorneys had to obtain a certificate of merit showing that medical procedures in a case didn’t meet accepted standards before they could file their case. The second was that they could only file the lawsuit in the county in which the alleged malpractice took place; ergo, no “venue shopping”. Can you imagine the impact on malpractice insurance costs if those two simple rule changes were made across all the states?

The choice becomes, do we let insurance companies continue to make actuarially sound judgments, or do we let the government simply raise taxes to cover their naively poor judgments?

LETTERS Mayor Seymour has left a model for those after him to follow To The Daily Sun, While we are in an election mode and concentrating on who we want to represent us, I don’t want to forget the end of May Seymour’s two terms as mayor of Laconia.

Mayor Seymour inserted himself into the city’s business long before he was elected as he wanted to come into the job, if he won, with knowledge of what the city was doing and what problems they were facing and generally how it operated from within.

He has truly been a hands on mayor and has made it a point to get out into the community and learn firsthand what the problems were and how he could possibly help to find solutions, and he did.

I recently asked him how many hours and events he had to cover each week to accomplish this aside from doing his own job. I was astounded to learn that he put in approximately 20 hours a week as mayor and that his duties were many more than I thought.

1. Conduct City Council meetings twice a month and as many budget meetings as necessary.

2. Bi-weekly meeting with the City Manager.

3. Mayor serves as Laconia Airport Authority chairman.

4. Serves as chair of Lakes Business Park Commission.

5. Serves on Laconia Human Relations Committee.

6. Attends various city commissions and board meetings.

7. Attends public functions like Annual Belknap EDC, LRGHealthcare, United Way, Lakes Region Planning, BIBA, Main Street Initiative, Ribbon cuttings.

8. School functions as necessary, i.e. graduations, etc.

9. Participates in local efforts to

improve Laconia i.e. Salvation Army Turkey Plunge, Got Lunch, Multicultural day, etc.

10. Various Parades: Memorial Day, July 4th, Veteran’s Day, Christmas 11. Receives many invites to several events to say a few words. Is typically out of the house at least three nights per week for city-related functions.

I had no idea nor do many others.

It is something to think about. First, to give Mayor Seymour a huge vote of thanks for his service these past four years and his always pleasant and affable way of handling all matters.

His input to matters before the council has been valuable and has made an impact. Second, we must be sure to have a new mayor who can devote this time and has the ability to make contributions to the matters that the come before the council. He must have the ability to represent the city as its best ambassador.

Mayor Michael Seymour will truly be missed, but he has left a model for those who come after him to follow.

There is one candidate running for mayor who has a leg up on what is required. Ed Engler covered City Council meetings for his paper for many years, knows all the players and the structure of the council and how it works. He serves on many of the city’s boards. For instance, the Belknap Economic Development Council and the Rotary Club. He is deeply involved in the restoration of downtown Laconia and attends many of the Downtown Association meetings in an effort to help find the solutions to bringing new businesses downtown and kickstarting its economy which is essential to the whole city.

Experience and knowledge of the city and its challenges is uppermost.

LETTERS It should take much more to remove an elected town official To The Daily Sun, In a recent well-written and thoughtful letter to the editor from a fellow Moultonboro Planning Board member, the writer correctly stated that “there was no corruption or fraud” on the part of the two Moultonboro Planning Board members accused of malfeasance and neglect of duty. I concur.

What did occur were procedural errors — mistakes in process.

None of what happened on July 10th 2013 rose anywhere near the level where anyone should be removed from elected office. Many different votes were taken that night and ultimately, the Bears Nest LLC tower Conditional Use Permit was approved. I need to point out to readers that if the issue was indeed the final decision that evening, five members of the Planning Board all voted to approve it, with myself and the acting chair the two dissenters. One of the members who approved it was the selectmen’s representative. The real cause(s) then for the removal effort of two members was unrelated to the final outcome of that hearing.

I agree with the writers opinion that the selectmen are legally correct in calling for the public hearings, but strongly disagree that they are duty bound to do so. There is no legal obligation to call for the hearings nor was there any legal obligation to offer the “resign or suffer the indignity of a public hearing” plea bargain. That was simply the sad way we do business here in town of late.

I also do not share the letter writer’s embarrassment for the Planning Board actions of that evening. I was disappointed that I could not convince most fellow board members to vote “no”, regardless of the consequences.

No one should be embarrassed, however. The major mistake we made was unavoidable: we were told to think of this already built structure as being not built and that this request for a conditional use permit was the same as if the nearly one acre of woods was never clear cut. The concern easily seen among the majority of the board was that the damage had already been done and tearing it down would cause more harm to the environment. See where I am going with this? Pretend the structure doesn’t exist, but we don’t want to tear it down. If it didn’t exist there would be nothing to tear down, right?

It was an impossible situation that perhaps could have been resolved if King Solomon were a member of the Moultonboro Planning Board.

There is an old saying that if the only tool in your toolbox is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. The selectmen have a number of tools in their tool box, but chose to use the biggest and most extreme one. Much like using dynamite to plant tulip bulbs. The result is the same, but it leaves an awful mess and people could get hurt.

I wholeheartedly agree that we need to fix our process problems and work diligently on better coordination and cooperation between boards. There is more to be fixed though. We need to stop the favoritism, nepotism, good-ol’ boy-network and inner circle manner of getting things done. That applies to all boards.

Most critical, though, are the Board of Selectmen. This same board — where some do not know who the accusers are; some not even sure if there even are any; where some have seen a petition, but others claim they did not or that one even exists — has flagrantly violated the Right-to Know-law and will now act as “grand jury and judge”. All this under the guidance of our town counsel and prosecuted by the town administrator. Considering that this Board of Selectmen has never done this before and in fact this has rarely happened anywhere in New Hampshire, the September 9 public hearings have all the makings of an epic disaster movie.

The spotlight will be shining brightly on our little town that day. Be sure to not stand in front of any moving fans, because the you know what will be flying through the blades. Doesn’t all this make you feel confident that a fair an unbiased hearing will occur? I sure don’t.

We need real leadership on the Board of Selectmen that will properly challenge assumptions, vigorously obey the Right-to-Know law, do their homework and go back to directing the town staff as opposed to being led by them. Real leadership from the Board of Selectmen would have the courage to call for a time out and take a step back from these public hearings.

The root cause of these problems can start to be addressed come the second Tuesday of March 2014.

Grafton Concerned Citizens will hear attorney on Tuesday To The Daily Sun, For it’s September meeting this Tuesday, Grafton Concerned Citizens will have guest speaker Thomas Linzey, attorney and co-founder of the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund. We contacted the defense fund last fall when Iberdrola announced its plan to construct a 37-turbine industrial wind project between Cardigan Mountain and Newfound Lake. At that time, no industrial wind developer had been denied a siting certificate, and the defense fund offered to help townsfolk draft a “community-rights-based ordinance.” Because the current regulatory process denies communities any say in major energy projects, we felt this alternative way to have an influence would be more helpful.

The ordinance, known as Grafton’s Right to a Sustainable Energy Future and Community Self-Government Ordinance, passed in March. Two of our three selectmen refuse to enforce it, claiming the town lawyer believes it will invite litigation. When reviewing the ordinance before the vote, the lawyer said it couldn’t be enforced because towns can’t “strip corporations of their constitutional protections.”

But that is precisely what the ordinance is about: The Constitution protects people’s rights, not corporations’.

The U.S. Constitution starts “We the

people” not “We the corporations.” The Declaration of Independence refers to people 10 times, but never to corporations.

The New Hampshire Constitution states: “(A)ll government of right originates from the people, is founded in consent, and instituted for the general good. (Article 1); “Government ... should be open, accessible, accountable and responsive. (Article 8); and “(W)henever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government” (Article 10).

Therefore many would say not only is what the Grafton ordinance calls for legal and enforceable, it is necessary.

Linzey will give about a 40-minute presentation, followed by questions.

Free copies of the book he co-authored with Anneke Campbell, Be the Change, How to Get What You Want in Your Community, will be give to the first 50 attendees. The event, at Millbrook Christian Fellowship Church, starts at 6:30, and everyone from Grafton and surrounding communities concerned about industrial wind development is invited. For more information, email GraftonWindGroup@gmail.com or call 262-720-7261.

Why are you trying to force all of us into playing a sport?

To The Daily Sun, There are two types of people: athletes and non-athletes. At least, that’s what modern culture has led the world to believe.

Why is it that sports are so overwhelmingly important? And how many of these athletes, who focus on nothing but sports, will actually go pro? If not everybody will be a professional athlete, then why do sports overrule everything?

What happens when the kids who live and breathe sports don’t become superstar athletes?

A massive shadow has been cast upon the non-athletes of the world, and nobody bothers to shine the light on it. People who don’t participate in sports aren’t “fat” and “lazy” as stereotypes would like us to believe. Maybe they don’t like competition. Maybe they’re just not coordinated and would rather save themselves the embarrassment of flailing around a playing field like a beached whale. Maybe they’re injured or physically challenged and are unable to participate in sports for reasons beyond their control. Or maybe they shine in another area, like academics or the arts.

There comes a time when you have to realize that not every kid is going to grow up to be president, and if you were to expand your horizon, then maybe you’d have more options when it’s time to make a career choice. When the kid finally says no, I don’t want to play anymore, they’re forced to face the disappointment of their parents and coaches, because sometimes the kids aren’t playing for themselves, they’re playing merely because they were pushed to do so. Sometimes, the parents are living vicariously through their children because they can’t play anymore and they miss it. The world is so focused on sports that people who aren’t athletes are raised by a society that makes them feel terrible they aren’t successful athletically.

Somehow society has found a way to make this generation feel forced into playing a sport when there’s people like me who feel like an idiot on the field because it’s just not our thing and that’s not going to change no matter how many laps you make us run.

LETTERS You must be one heck of a world saver to judge so many others To The Daily Sun, In response to Mr. Kent Warners letter in the August 28 Daily Sun: Sir, your letter rambles and exudes the same negative attitudes that you profess to find stupid, boring,and tiresome. Believe it or not we are all entitled to an opinion on matters, the fact that it may differ from your own does not make me in need of “getting a life” as you suggest we all do.

I for one am not “ill-informed” on either our membership in the U.N.,on EPA mandates, or any other topic I choose to have an opinion on. Having served under U.N. commanders, sorry but I’m just not that enthralled with the organization. And I have worked with the bad and the good of stringent environmental regulations for many years... so sorry, not ignorant there either.

And sir, YES as a matter of fact,

I have given thought to others in the community in need of help and actively support several agencies with whom I have the honor of working with. To suggest that those writing to the editor with their thoughts are somehow not a productive citizen of the community is not a fair assumption. You must be one heck of a “world saver” to deem yourself qualified to judge so many others. I can only speak for myself in assuring you that I do not need to get off my “pity potty”. Perhaps just a little tolerance on your part might allow you to see that dissent does not mean “negative diatribe”. This area has a remarkable spirit of giving. . . of time and not just money that your letter does a disservice to.

There are 2 ex-presidents who appreciate Obama: Nixon & Carter To The Daily Sun, After reading Ms. Loesch’s letter in today’s Sun (Thursday), I asked myself if in this day and age that there is someone out there that is that out of touch with reality. Her letter was by far the most ridiculous misstatement of facts ever printed on these pages and that is saying something.

Ms. Loesch, the debt under Obama has increased by over 6 trillion dollars in his less than five years in office. In comparison, under Bush it increased by 4.9 trillion in his eight years, which in my opinion was 4.9 trillion too much.

Ms. Loesch which taxes did he lower? He has increased federal regulations to an astronomical number which infringes on the freedoms of everybody and increases the cost of living for everybody, including liberals. The Constitution he treats like a piece of used toilet tissue. His admin-

istration is one of the most corrupt in the history of this country. Waste is a by-product of this administration that they ignore completely and as far as an open and honest government is concerned there aren’t enough pages in this newspaper to respond to that comment. There are two ex-presidents who really appreciate Obama, the first is Nixon because Obama makes him look like a choir boy; the second is Carter because Obama makes him look him like a genius.

I used to have the same feelings toward Ms. Loesch as I do other out of touch liberals who continue to misstate facts in their letters to this newspaper but after reading this last one from her I feel nothing but compassion for some one so blinded by Obama’s rhetoric.

Jury validated that Sanford Police were correct in the first place To The Daily Sun, I must have been in shock for the past 24 hours after reading the letter from Bernadette Loache, but apparently Bernie is in far worse condition for I fear she is comatose, walking, talking, writing letters but comatose none the less. It has to be all that Kool Aid the left lives on.

No Bernie, Obama has not achieved a reduction in the size of the federal government nor reduced government spending, lowered the national debt,

maintained an honest transparent administration. faithfully enforced the laws or defended the Constitution of the United Stated of America. But well, other then that he’s just a fine fellow.

Now that that is off my chest I have to say congratulations to Nancy Parsons for recognizing, in her most recent letter, that it was the media that turned the Zimmerman/Martin incident into a racial circus (my description). You are right on the see next page

Dr. Boone is excited to begin his practice here, when asked why he chose the Lakes Region he simply replied, “I took one look at the beauty of this area and the friendly people and I knew I wanted to be here. I have had the opportunity to meet most of the dentists here, as well as in the northern part of the state. I was impressed with their talent and dedication, as we share the same philosophy on the importance of periodontal care. I look forward to being here for many years.”

Walgreen’s donates equipment bags to LHS/WRHS hockey team

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Laconia-Winnisquam Wolfpack hockey team has received a donation of 20 equipment bags from Walgreen’s, a gift which Kelly DyerRawlings, a member of the Laconia-Winnisquam Wolfpack Boosters, says is greatly appreciated. ‘’I can’t thank Dan Quinn, the Walgreen’s manfrom preceding page mark there Nancy, though I do think you gave the Sanford police the smelly end of the stick. After all their investigation indicated that Zimmerman shot in self defense and the trial ended with that verdict.

So unless some new evidence is suddenly found it seems they were right not to arrest Zimmerman.

ager, enough. It’s the kind of support we need from local businesses,’’ said Dyer-Rawlings, who said that the donation came about as a result of a discussion she had with Quinn earlier this year. ‘’It’s a really nice donation and will help make our players proud when they walk into an ice arena,’’ said TJ Galligan, who is now in his fourth year as coach of the cooperative hockey team, one of several in the area including the Gilford-Belmont and InterLakes and Moultonborough Academy teams.

It’s been a rocky start for the Wolfpack, which suffered through two winless seasons before beating Manchester West 7-1 last year in the opening game of its Division III season.

The Wolfpack went on to post a 5 -12 record, just one game shy of the playoffs last season, and were competitive against some of the division’s top teams. ‘’We’re definitely going to make the playoffs this year,’’ says Wolfpack captain Matthew Missert, a Laconia senior, who says that the team only lost a few players to graduation and has a veteran group of players this season.

Selectman suggests building contractors started effort to remove Moultonborough Planning Board members

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — While the selectmen appear bent on going forward with removal proceedings against two members of the Planning Board and refusing to name the individuals who brought the original complaint against the pair, when the issue was last discussed Selectmen Russell Wakefield suggested that building contractors were among the complainants.

On July 10, the Planning Board, by a tortured process and in a controversial decision, approved the construction of an observation tower on Red Hill that was built without requisite permits. At least two of the five selectmen fielded complaints from citizens and the Selectboard may or may not have received a written statement from one or more individuals apparently questioning the conduct of Josh Bartlett and Judy Ryerson.

Following their regularly scheduled meeting on July 18, the selectmen held a “non-meeting” with town counsel Peter Minkow to consider the information they had received. At the meeting the Selectboard agreed to begin removal proceedings while instructing Town Administrator Carter Terenzini and Minkow to offer the two members the opportunity to resign rather than be embarrassed by a public hearing. After both Bartlett and Ryerson refused to resign, the selectmen scheduled the public hearings on Monday, September 9 (1 p.m.) to determine if Bartlett and Ryerson should be removed for “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”

At their regular meeting last week the selectmen were again pressed to identify those who brought the original complaints, by both residents and Select-

man Chris Shipp, who repeatedly said Bartlett and Ryerson were entitled to face their accusers.

In reply to questioning by Steve Maguire, Wakefield said that “if you are a contractor out there in Moultonborough trying to make a living and you had a complaint, you had a problem, you’d be the last one in here complaining, because you may have to go to that Planning Board and you don’t want to make enemies on that Planning Board because your application may have some bias to it and maybe it’s going to get voted no. I’m not telling you that would happen,” he continued, “but you as a contractor are going to think like that. And don’t tell me you wouldn’t.”

“You’re playing favorites and protecting people,” said Nancy Wright.

Wakefield also said that the complaints were discussed by the board in the July 18 non-meeting and as such remain privileged. He said that “everything we talked about cannot be dispensed to the public.”

He said that because of how the issue reached the board “we’re between a rock and a hard place.”

Steve Maguire said that any complaints lodged with the Board of Selectmen are public documents and the identity of those who submit them should not be protected.

Answering a question from Paul Puntunieri, a member of the Planning Board, Wakefield acknowledged that the Selectboard deliberated and voted when they met with Town Counsel. Puntunieri is among those who have noted that the selectmen sought the advice of town counsel in a “non-meeting,” not a non-public meeting, of which there is no record.

Man hurt diving into lake near Winnisquam sandbar SANBORNTON — A 23-year-old man from Chichester who suffered a diving injury at a sandbar on Lake Winnisquam Sunday was transported by helicopter to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon following the incident.

Marine Patrol received a 9-1-1 call at 12:45 p.m. which reported that a man dove into the waters on Lake Winnisquam near the sandbar and ultimately lost feeling in his extremities. Marine Patrol Officer Jason Patten arrived on scene within minutes and also assisted responding members of the Sanbornton Fire/

HOSPITAL from page one The results of their work for the exhibit “Shall We Have a Hospital,” on display at the Laconia Public Library. An opening reception for the exhibit will be held this evening, beginning at 6 p.m.

As Polidoro learned, Jewett’s generous act, made at Old Home Day in 1905, was hardly the spark that set off the chain of events that resulted in the creation of a hospital for Laconia.

In fact, that spark had occurred 14 years prior, in the form of an editorial printed in the Laconia Democrat.

The column, printed in 1891, noted that Concord had a hospital and that there were campaigns in Claremont and Exeter to build similar facilities.

The editorial stated, “We want, in short, a place where sick people can go to recover their health and be sure see next page

from preceding page

tive but to begin removal proceedings on the strength of it. He insisted that the complainant, not the Selectboard, initiated the proceedings and even suggested the complainant would present the case at the public hearings. He also assured the Planning Board that the identity of the complainant would be disclosed to Bartlett and Ryerson.

However, when the Selectboard next discussed the issue, Joel Mudgett, the chairman, said he could not recall seeing a petition, but allowed that concerns were expressed to him by a number of people who wished to remain anonymous because they might be appearing before the Planning Board in the future.

Since then the Selectboard has denied a Right-to-Know request for records of the non-meeting on July 18, claiming that minutes are not required of non-meetings, and firmly refused to name any of those who approached them about the decision of the Planning Board or the conduct of its members.

the “Right-to-Know” law, “deliberation about the matter on which advice is sought may not occur during consultation with legal counsel.” Instead, any deliberation, decisions and votes subsequent to that advice must take place in public session.

Selectmen Jonathan Tolman said that the case is a matter of public record. He said that the selectmen decided to proceed after reviewing the minutes and the video of the meeting, which he suggested offered sufficient cause to bring charges against Bartlett and Ryerson. Acknowledging that a number of people had expressed concerns to the Selectboard, he said that their identity was not relevant since the decision to act was made by the selectman.

Wakefield’s recent remarks are at odds with earlier statements. Last month he told the Planning Board that the Selectboard received a “petition” from one individual and said that town counsel advised the board there was no alterna-

from preceding page of getting careful nursing and good, wholesome sanitary surroundings. We want beds for those able to pay and we want free beds for those who cannot pay and are deserving of charity.”

The editorial is thought to have found accord with many Laconians, not the least of which was Rhoda C. Ladd, who died of cancer the following year. In her will, she gave her estate, including her Court Street home, to the city, on condition that her assets be held in trust until the municipality could raise $10,000 to create a hospital.

Though her gift was accepted by the city, it was held in trust for several years while the fund raising efforts struggled to reach goal.

Polidoro believes that a spectacular tragedy helped to underscore the need for a local hospital.

As reported in a September 3, 1897 news article, a young couple was out for an evening ride in a horsedrawn carriage. When the pair, Frank W. Clay and Minnie B. Johnson, both Laconia residents, were on Messer Street, their carriage was struck by the 7:45 Lake Shore train where it crossed the road. The victims were reported to be thrown a hundred feet by the impact, where they lay for a half-hour before being transported to a hotel in Lakeport to wait for doctors that had been sent for.

Clay died, according to the report, while Johnson was gravely injured. The following year, the town had raised enough to honor Ladd’s request, and opened what is known as the “Cottage Hospital” in her home on Court Street. The Cottage Hospital, which had room for up to eight beds, was in operation until 1905, the year of Jewett’s donation.

The opening of a hospital created a new problem in the form of staffing. Where would Laconia find skilled nurses to assist the patients? To address the question, a nursing school was immediately formed.

From 1898 to 1968, the nursing school offered a three-year, 12-class program that graduated more than 500 nurses. Most of the graduates were from

Laconia or nearby towns, and as far as Polidoro can tell, they were exclusively female.

Her exhibit features many artifacts from the nursing school, including uniforms and photographs of graduating classes.

These are just a few of the stories Polidoro and Rice have uncovered. The exhibit includes many others, including the story of Mrs. John F. “Nellie” Zebley, a Jeremiah S. Jewett Weirs native who grew up (Courtesy photo) to become a world-traveling, wealthy New York City resident, whose affection for her hometown was evident in the inventive ways she found to help the hospital become functional.

Polidoro said, of the project, “It’s been exciting.

There’s so much information that wasn’t known before.”

Rice added, “Working on this project has been extremely rewarding for me, because of the sense of pride I feel about our community hospital. Not just as an employee, but also as a community member. We are so fortunate to have a hospital with roots so firmly planted in the community. And learning the details about the level of support and commitment community members had to open a hospital in Laconia is really inspiring to me. As we continue to build upon their legacy, I am so very proud to be a part of it.

“I also want to acknowledge how fortunate our community is,” continued Rice, “to have the Laconia Historical and Museum Society, and dedicated Executive Director Brenda Polidoro. Her level of enthusiasm to this project was nothing short of amazing.

I have enjoyed working with Brenda and getting to know her better. I can’t thank her enough for helping LRGHealthcare and the community celebrate our legacy of caring.”

POND from page one thought the pond deserved a name.’’

After finding trail maps which said that that the stream which flows from the 6/10th of an acre pond is Moulton Brook, Denlinger wrote to the United States Board on Geographic Names proposing the name of Moulton Pond, which he said is linked to the Moulton family, long-time residents of the area.

The request for naming the pond in honor of the Moulton family recently came before the Belknap County Commissioners, who were told that Gilford selectmen have already reviewed the request and took no position on it but were not opposed.

Commissioner Ed Philpot said that he would like to hear from a long-time hiker and member of the Gilford Conservation Commission, Chuck Coons, before the commission took any action.

Denlinger’s request noted that the unnamed pond

is located 9/10th of a mile southwest of Round Pond and that Dave Roberts, who created a trail map of the Belknap Mountain range because it ran beside Moulton Road near Manning Lake.

Nanci Mitchell, a past chairman of the Gilmanton Conservation Commission, who along with her husband owns land near the small pond, said that she and her husband have called it Christmas Pond because they discovered it about 10 years ago on Christmas Day, but had no objection to seeing it named Moulton Pond.

Denlinger’s application notes that the Moulton family has a long history in the area and cites the history of Col. John Hale Moulton (1795-1885) of Center Harbor, who was a Belknap County Commissioner from 1858 through 1861.

Pregnancy and Oral Health Research suggests that if you have active periodontal (gum) disease, you may be at risk for having a premature, low birth-weight baby.

This can lead to serious health problems for the child. Periodontal disease is a chronic infection, and any infection in the mother may affect the baby. The body’s immune response to the gum infection is thought to create an environment in which the birthing process is triggered sooner. Although pregnancy does not cause gum disease (plaque germs do), at least 50% of women experience a condition known as Pregnancy Gingivitis (which is not causally related to the risk of premature birth).

Pregnancy gingivitis occurs due to increased hormone levels which affect the way your gums react to plaque bacteria, resulting in red, swollen gums that tend to bleed when brushed. If you have a clean mouth at the beginning and throughout your pregnancy, there is a greatly reduced risk of experiencing Pregnancy Gingivitis. The best advice if you are contemplating a pregnancy is to see your dentist so you can be treated for any oral problems before you become pregnant. The last thing you need during your pregnancy is a gum infection or a screaming toothache.

During your pregnancy, maintain excellent oral hygiene and plan ahead to get your teeth cleaned (ideally during months 4-6).

Remember — everything is connected.

Cabrera sits but Fister & Tigers still beat Red Sox, 3-0 BOSTON (AP) — Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland had a theory about why Doug Fister looked completely different after a shaky start.

Fister walked three and plunked a hitter in the first seven batters he faced, but settled down to throw seven shutout innings as Tigers beat the Boston Red Sox 3-0 Monday in a matchup of teams with the AL’s best records.

Fister (12-7) rebounded from a miserable start in his previous outing, holding Boston to four hits while walking four and striking out four. In his last start, he gave up 13 hits and seven runs in a loss to Oakland.

The Tigers won despite missing Miguel Cabrera

for the third straight game. He has been sidelined by a strained abdomen, though general manager Dave Dombrowski said the Triple Crown winner has been more hampered by a groin problem.

Prince Fielder and Andy Dirks each drove in a run for the AL Central-leading Tigers, who won for the fourth time in five games.

The AL East-leading Red Sox lost for just the second time in nine games.

John Lackey (8-12) was the tough-luck loser, giving up three runs on seven hits over 7 1-3 innings. It was the 11th time Boston’s been shutout, six coming when he’s pitched.

PSU from page one girl brought the microwave.

The Maney’s were but two of the hundreds of sets of parents who converged upon PSU for the traditional “move in” day who got to play the role of Sherpa — or one of the members of a tribe in Nepal who guide hikers up the mountains and, perhaps more importantly, carry their provisions up there, too.

But the Maney’s, like the rest of the parents, were met with a pleasant surprise yesterday — the PSU Panthers football team.

“We pull up and we get swamped by these huge handsome guys,” said Marion Maney, who said they loaded all of her daughter’s things into a big white plastic tote on wheels and brought them in to the dorm.

Sophomore Quarterback Jimmy Boulay, senior defensive lineman Jeff Nussek and senior wide receiver Nick Cavallo were three of those coach assigned to help the students of Mary Lyons Hall. Nussek said the wrestling team will take over a noon and the sorority

sisters of Delta Zeta will take over at 4 p.m.

When asked what orders they were given by their coach Nussek said, “Kill them with kindness.”

“We walk up to people and asked them if we can help them bring their stuff up to their dorm rooms, Nussek said.

For Mark Tulley, the father of freshman Jordan Tulley, of Hollis the football players were a godsend.

“This is great,” he said. “I haven’t been up to the third floor yet.”

Mark Tulley stood behind the open door of his black SUV and handed Jordan’s things to members of the football team who carried them up to the third floor at Blair Hall.

According to his father, Jordan’s couldn’t live without his television, his X-box and dad’s American Express card.

Moe Giddis of Pembrook stood next to his SUV and sipped on a cup of coffee.

Courtney Giddis is the fourth and youngest of Moe Giddis’s daughters — and the second who has gone to college.

When asked how much packing he had done the night before, Moe grinned and said, “None.”

He said his daughter had “gotten a little mouthy” the night before so he informed her she was packing her own things in the back of the SUV. “She did it all herself,” he said, showing off a framed collage of pictures of her friends and family she had made the night before.

“See,” he said pointing to his own picture in the top left corner of the collage. “I’m right here so she can’t still be too mad at me.”

Looking at the football players lugging all of her things up to the dorm, Giddis leaned back and sighed.

“This is sweet,” he said. “I haven’t done a darn thing all morning.”

from preceding page the town of Moultonborough was named, John Hale Moulton was a merchant, hotel and mill owner and operated a freight boat on Lake Winnipesaukee and a Center Harbor selectman from 1819 until 1868, town treasurer from 1824 until 1881 and even served as a deputy sheriff for five years. He also served in the Legislature from 1847 and 1848, and again from 1852 to 1856.

Moulton received his education from teacher Dudley Leavitt, who is credited with starting a widely popular almanac, and ran a saw, grist and shingle mill and used the freight boat he owned to transport lumber around Lake Winnipesaukee. He also owned what was known as Moulton’s Hotel in Center Harbor from 1848 until his death in 1885.

Citizens Bank program produced 3,000 backpacks MANCHESTER — Citizens Bank is helping 3,000 students start the school year with new backpacks filled with school supplies through its Gear for Grades program. More than 25,500 pencils, pens, folders, notebooks, glue sticks and index cards were donated by the public in all 80 branches across New Hampshire. Gear for Grades was organized in partnership with Child and Family Services of NH, 95.7 WZID and the New Hampshire Union Leader.

According to a National Retail Federation survey, the average American family spent $688.62 in 2012 on back-to-school expenses. For low-income, at-risk or homeless families, the cost of even basic school supplies can be a burden.

“With the rising cost of school supplies, the Gear for Grades program helps to ease the financial strain par-

ents face this time of year as they prepare to send their children back to school,” said Joe Carelli, President, Citizens Bank and RBS Citizens, New Hampshire.

“We are proud to play a small role in contributing to the academic success of so many local children who return to the classroom ready to learn. We thank our customers and the general public who continue to support this program by donating new school supplies that make a big difference to the children who receive them. I also want to thank Child and Family Services, WZID and the Union Leader for helping make this program a great success.”

The Gear for Grades program is a part of Citizens Helping Citizens Strengthen Communities, the bank’s program for contributing to the economic vitality of communities.

Lake Winnipesaukee Museum to host lecture on Old Man of the Mountain

LACONIA — The Lake Winnipesaukee Museum is hosting a lecture, The Old Man of the Mountain: Substance and Symbol, featuring Maggie Stier on Saturday , September 7 at 11 a.m.

The story of the Old Man of the Mountain in Franconia Notch is a story of New Hampshire itself, reflecting history, the arts, literature, geography, philosophy and public policy. Maggie Stier’s illustrated talk reveals the ways that this iconic place has sparked observers’ imaginations, attracted intense personal commitment, and symbolized changing public sentiment.

Stier details the threats to the Old Man and Franconia Notch that led to

protection as a State Park and, later, to the construction of the Franconia Notch Parkway. She concludes with an analysis of what caused the fall of the Old Man in 2003, a summary of private efforts to create a memorial, and a discussion of how this unique natural phenomenon may be remembered by future generations. The audience is invited to bring souvenirs, memorabilia or other artifacts of the Old Man of the Mountain for a shared display before and after the program, and to share their own experiences and memories on this topic.

This event is free and open to the public and is made possible by a grant from the NH Humanities Council.

RSVP to 366-5950.

This ride of a lifetime will be available on five boats which include Jersey Skiff speed boats, triple cockpits, and Gold Cup racers. The rides will take place when there is a break in the action on Friday and Saturday, at approximately 12:25, 12:55 and 3:55, weather permitting.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

the fixed amount of hours in a day, of course there’s a limit to how many people you can have a quality relationship with. Be judicious in this regard this afternoon.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You may feel like the role you’ve accepted isn’t a good fit and possibly never was. Good news: You can always change the script. An easy way to start is by changing the costume.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If only you had the authority to grant some of the wishes you and your loved ones have today.

Don’t worry. Through perseverance, you will accomplish what you couldn’t make happen through power.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You and your love will do as poet Khalil Gibran suggested: “Stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart. And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 3). Family celebrates you, and friends promote you in unexpected ways. Brainstorm and network your way through professional challenges, and you’ll come out the other side richer.

You’ll become an expert on something new in the next 10 weeks. You’ll adventure through November and July with a travel companion.

Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 3, 24, 9 and 40.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What you want is constrained by other people, people you must influence in order to obtain your desired outcome. Consider carefully the many approaches available to you, including charm.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Stimulating circumstances make for a happy occasion, and yet there’s a point of diminishing returns.

Cross that threshold, and discomfort sets in, followed by displeasure. Get out while the gettin’s good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When is it a good time to tell others what you expect of them? Either from the start, or just as soon as they have crossed one of your boundaries. If you wait, it will get awkward. Do not write a note.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Happiness is a room of your own and a stretch of uninterrupted time when it’s occupied only by you. Your beauty or your mess, your noise or your silence; you need it this way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your cat nature comes through as you metaphorically stretch, pounce and climb. This doesn’t have to take you anywhere or add up to anything. There’s value in going off purpose or not having one to begin with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The thing that just doesn’t feel right deserves some attention. You’ll likely need to take a step back and carefully separate your identity from another person’s idea of who you should be.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is it wise or foolish to make long-term projections? The winding staircase to the future can only be climbed one step at a time, and yet today brings an accurate feeling about where it will lead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll feel that someone is telling you something with their eyes -- a secret of the heart that no one else knows. Indeed, you’re getting the signal right, though it may be some time before you get the rest of the details.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Given the number of responsibilities you have and

Saturday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, September 3, 2013— Page 19

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Sept. 3, the 246th day of 2013. There are 119 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On September 3, 1943, Allied forces invaded Italy during World War II, the same day Italian officials signed a secret armistice with the Allies.

On this date: In 1189, England’s King Richard I (the LionHearted) was crowned in Westminster Abbey.

In 1658, Oliver Cromwell, the Lord Protector of England, died in London; he was succeeded by his son, Richard.

In 1783, representatives of the United States and Britain signed the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War. In 1861, during the Civil War, Confederate forces invaded the border state of Kentucky, which had declared its neutrality in the conflict.

In 1868, the Japanese city of Edo was renamed Tokyo.

In 1923, the United States and Mexico resumed diplomatic relations.

In 1939, Britain, France, Australia and New Zealand declared war on Germany, two days after the Nazi invasion of Poland.

In 1951, the television soap opera “Search for Tomorrow” made its debut on CBS. In 1967, Nguyen Van Thieu (nwen van too) was elected president of South Vietnam under a new constitution. Motorists in Sweden began driving on the right-hand side of the road instead of the left.

In 1972, American swimmer Mark Spitz won the sixth of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics as he placed first in the 100-meter freestyle.

In 1976, America’s Viking 2 lander touched down on Mars to take the first close-up, color photographs of the planet’s surface.

In 1999, a French judge closed a two-year inquiry into the car crash that killed Princess Diana, dismissing all charges against nine photographers and a press motorcyclist, and concluding the accident was caused by an inebriated driver.

Ten years ago: Paul Hill, 49, a former minister who said he murdered an abortion doctor and his bodyguard to save the lives of unborn babies, was executed in Florida by injection, becoming the first person put to death in the United States for anti-abortion violence. President George W. Bush signed legislation to begin free trade with Singapore and Chile.

Five years ago: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain’s choice of running mate, roused delegates at the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minn., as she belittled Democrat Barack Obama and praised her new boss. Thousands of New Orleans residents who had fled Hurricane Gustav forced the city to reluctantly open its doors, while President George W. Bush returned to the scene to show that the government had turned a corner since its bungled response to Katrina.

One year ago: President Barack Obama consoled victims of Hurricane Isaac along the Gulf Coast and stoked the enthusiasm of union voters in the industrial heartland, blending a hard political sell with a softer show of sympathy on the eve of the Democratic National Convention.

The Laconia Public Library will host a literary book discussion series this fall/winter. This series is part of the Laconia Public Library’s ongoing effort to bring quality programming to the community. The discussion series Life During War Times: Exploring War Through Literature, starts in September.

Beginning with the Civil War the series will explore four different wars, ending with the second Iraq War.

The schedule is as follows: September 3 The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane Discussion leader: Suzanne Brown

Future Activities

Our first discussion will be The Red Badge of Courage. First published in 1895, America’s greatest novel of the Civil War was written before 21-yearold Stephen Crane had “smelled even the powder of a sham battle.” A masterpiece so unique that many believe modern American fiction began with Stephen Crane. Books will be available for loan at the library.

All discussions will take place on the first Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. the Laconia Public Library in Laconia Rotary Hall.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a college student who is about two years from graduating. I have been living with my parents while I am in school, because it’s cheaper than living on campus.

A few years ago, I decided, for several reasons, to move from Ohio to Florida when I graduate. Although my parents have told me my entire life to do what I want to do, they are against this move. When I first told them about this decision, they thought I was just dreaming. However, as my college education is winding up, they are trying to convince me to stay. They will not let up with their reasons for me to continue to live here.

I keep telling my family that moving is not a final goodbye.

They are welcome to visit anytime, and I surely will return to Ohio now and then. But this information hasn’t convinced them to stop badgering me. I don’t think I can take the pressure anymore. What do I do? -- Pressured Family Dear Pressured: Your family wants you to stick around because they will miss you terribly if you move away. They foresee you marrying someone from Florida and raising a family there, where you will have only periodic contact. You see this as developing your independence. They see it as a permanent separation. If you can understand their underlying fear and sadness, it will help you respond more compassionately to their “badgering.” But this is your decision to make, whether or not they agree, so please have the courage of your convictions, which includes the ability to withstand the pressure.

Dear Annie: I have an account at a local bank. Every time anyone enters the bank, a greeter meets us with good wishes, hellos and “What are your plans for the day?” The tellers chitchat with customers at the window, asking “How are you?” and “What are you doing for the holiday?”

This takes up time when people are waiting for service.

How do you tell them to shut up and get the line moving when you only want to do business and get out? -- Waiting for Your Answer Dear Waiting: Most of this friendliness does not take up as much time as you think. Employees can be both friendly and efficient. You can say hello to a greeter without stopping to tell your life story. Tellers can chat while they cash checks, enter deposits or do any number of things. It only becomes a problem if the teller cannot multitask or when the chatting continues after the transaction is finished. If you notice this happening, you should register a complaint with the bank manager.

Dear Annie: You gave good advice to “Lonely for Friends.”

I have been fortunate to make and keep many friends. Here’s my advice: To keep friends, they must be nurtured like a garden.

When you are with a potential friend: 1. Ask about them. Try not to be self-absorbed. Show interest and care when they speak.

2. Discuss books, movies, current affairs (without the politics).

3. Invite them to your home and make another date while together.

4. Send a note by email, snail mail or even text message letting them know you enjoyed being together.

5. Remember their birthday or the next big holiday.

6. Be there as a friend when life’s difficulties happen and celebrate the good times.

7. Be lighthearted and fun to be around.

To have a friend, one must be a friend. This also makes for better relations with co-workers. Friends are the chocolate chips in the cookie of life. -- A Good Friend

Katie Flo’s reopens under care of recent LRCC grad Free admission to Squam TILTON — Katie Flo’s Café recently reopened and is being run by Peter Kaigle of Laconia, a 2012 graduate of Lakes Region Community College’s culinary arts program.

“I am so happy to have Katie Flo’s opened,” says Kaigle, “It is a dream come true.”

Just last week LRCC Culinary Arts graduate, David Perry of Center Ossipee opened Jilly’s Bistro on Union Avenue in Laconia.

“It is exciting to have two of LRCC’s Culinary Arts graduates open their own Lakes Region restaurants in the same month,” says LRCC Culinary Arts, Pastry Arts, and Restaurant Management Department Coordinator, Pat Hall, a successful entrepreneur himself before entering the teaching profession. “This is a first!”
