Kiwanians irate about LHS football concessions switch By Gail oBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — After 60 years of operating the concession stand for Friday night home games, the Laconia High School Key Club has apparently been replaced by the Laconia Youth Football Association — possibly because of a donation made to the Huot Technical Center renovation/expansion and new football stadium project. A contingent of Laconia Kiwanians force-
fully protested the decision at last night’s School Board meeting. The decision was apparently made administratively by former Superintendent Bob Champlin. “Are you telling me they gave a donation? Is that what you’re saying?” asked Kiwanis Club President Scott Laurent after listening to School Board Chair Joe Cormier explain the reasoning behind the decision by saying that when the district started
fund raising for the Huot/stadium project, Laconia Youth Football said they wanted more time in the concession stand. The community service oriented Key Club is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and, according to Laurent, the home football game concession stand revenue is the largest source of money — about 80 percent or $3,000 — generated by the club that typically has 20 to 25 high school students as see COnCessIOns page 11

LACONIA — “I lost to a guy who became a fantastic mayor,” said Bob Luther, who was defeated in the mayoral election in 2009 by Mike Seymour, “and I’m running again because he’s not running.” Luther, along with Khaleif Mitchell and Ed Engler, are vying to succeed Seymour, who retired after serving two terms. One of three will be eliminated in the primary election on Tuesday, Sept. 10, and the two highest vote getters will proceed to general election in November. Raised on the South Shore of Massachusetts, Luther has lived in Laconia for the past 40 years, where he was employed as a mechanic with United Parcel Service before achieving a childhood dream by joining the Police Department as a full-time officer. After leaving the force he served as a security officer at Lakes Region General Hospital before retiring in in 2009. No stranger to polisee LUTHeR page 9

Sandy McLaughlin and David Zebuhr are prepped and ready to paint at the Children’s Charity House “painting party” in Laconia on Tuesday. They were among the volunteers who answered the call to try and get the entire interior painted in just one day. The new home in the Windemere Ridge subdivision off Parade Road is being built by the Lakes Region Builders and Remodelers Association, with many in-ink donations of labor and materials. The home will later be sold and the entire net proceeds will be donated to the WLNH Children’s Auciton. (Karen Bobotas/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

GILFORD — The Gilford School District has received a refund if almost a halfmillion dollars from the Local Government Center, representing excess premiums the district and its employees paid for health insurance from 2009 to 2011, the School Board was told last night. Assistant Superintendent Scott Isabelle told the board that the district received a check for $476,524 last week. The refund was issued under the terms of a state Bureau of Securities Regulations’ order that the LGC repay $53.4 million to towns and school districts overcharged by the municipal organization which operates self-funded risk pools for liability claims and health care coverage. Isabelle said a portion of the refund — $23,819 — see LGC page 11 765-767 Central St., Franklin, NH 603-934-2270

CONCORD (AP) — State Sen. Jeb Bradley said Tuesday he won’t run for either U.S. Senate or governor next year because he will be focused on helping ill family members. “I have two ill family members who are very close to me, and this all happened in the span of the last couple of weeks,” said Bradley, a Republican from Wolfeboro. “The magnitude of the commitment I need to make to my family ... is so significant, I need to take myself out of any consideration for U.S. Senate or governor.” Bradley had been expected to seek the Republican nomination to challenge U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen or Gov. Maggie Hassan, both first-term Democrats. Bradley said he will decide later whether to seek re-election to the state Senate seat he has held since 2009. He served two terms in the U.S. House before being defeated by Democrat Carol Shea-Porter in 2006, and he lost to her again in a 2008 rematch. see BRADLEY page 8

Boehner supports Obama’s plan to hit Syria WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama gained ground Tuesday in his drive for congressional backing of a military strike against Syria, winning critical support from House Speaker John Boehner while key Senate Democrats and Republicans agreed to back a no-combattroops-on-the-ground action in retaliation for a suspected chemical weapons attack. Officials said the emerging Senate measure would receive a vote Wednesday in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Approval is likely. “You’re probably going to win” Congress’ backing, Rand Paul of Kentucky, a conservative senator and likely opponent of the measure, conceded in a late-afternoon exchange with Secretary of State John Kerry. The leader of House Republicans, Boehner emerged from a meeting at the White House and said the United States has “enemies around the world that need to understand that we’re not going to tolerate this type of behavior. We also have allies around the world and allies in the region who also need to know that America will be there and stand up when it’s necessary.” Boehner spoke as lawmakers in both
parties called for changes to the president’s requested legislation, insisting it be rewritten to restrict the type and duration of any military action. In the Senate, the compromise was the work of Sens. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., among others. They are the chairman and senior Republican, respectively, on the Foreign Relations Committee, which held a lengthy hearing during the day on Obama’s request for congressional legislation in support of the military reprisal he wants. The measure would set a time limit of 60 days and says the president could extend that for 30 days more unless Congress has a vote of disapproval. The measure also bars the use of U.S. ground troops for “combat operations.” Kerry, testifying before the committee, signaled earlier that the troop restriction was acceptable to the administration. “There’s no problem in our having the language that has zero capacity for American troops on the ground,” he said. “President Obama is not asking America to go to war,” Kerry said in a strongly worded opening statement. He added,
“This is not the time for armchair isolationism. This is not the time to be spectators to slaughter.” Obama said earlier in the day he was open to revisions in the relatively broad request the White House made over the weekend. He expressed confidence Congress would respond to his call for support and said Assad’s action “poses a serious national security threat to the United States and to the region.” The administration says 1,429 died from the attack on Aug. 21 in a Damascus suburb. Casualty estimates by other groups are far lower, and Assad’s government blames the episode on rebels who have been seeking to overthrow his government in a civil war that began over two years ago. A United Nations inspection team is awaiting lab results on tissue and soil samples it collected while in the country before completing a closely watched report. The president met top lawmakers at the White House before embarking on an overseas trip to Sweden and Russia, leaving the principal lobbying at home for the next few days to Vice President Joe Biden and see SYRIA page 6
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate resolution authorizing President Barack Obama to use military force against Syria would bar American ground troops for combat operations and set a deadline for any action.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the draft resolution that the Foreign Relations Committee will vote on Wednesday. The measure would set a time limit of 60 days and says the president could extend that for 30 days more unless Congress has
a vote of disapproval. Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the committee, and Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the top Republican, agreed on the measure late Tuesday.

First chiropractic adjustment Restores Man’s Hearing On September 18, 1895 D. D. Palmer performed the firstever chiropractic adjustment on Harvey Lillard, a deaf janitor, in Davenport, Iowa. Palmer describes the incident in his 1910 book The Science, Art and Philosophy of Chiropractic: The Chiropractor’s Adjuster: “Harvey Lillard, a janitor in the Ryan Block, where I had my office, had been so deaf for 17 years that he couldnot hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch. I made inquiry as to
the cause of his deafness and was informed that when he was exerting himself in a cramped, stooping position, he felt something give in his back and immediately became deaf. An examination showed a vertebra racked from its normal position. I reasoned that if that vertebra was replaced, the man’s hearing should be restored. With this object in view, a half-hour’ s talk persuaded Mr. Lillard to allow me to replace it. I racked it into position by using the spinous process as a
lever and soon the man could hear as before.” The astounding success of the first adjustment was an incredible birth to a new healing profession. Since 1895 chiropractors have been praised and criticized for their work and their belief in the body’s innate intelligence and ability for self healing. Chiropractic may not always be a cure for deafness, but we recognize without doubt the far reaching effects that a healthy spine and nervous system has on one’s overall
health. Even Consumer Reports raves about chiropractic care, rating chiropractic adjustments as their #1 solution to lower back pain. ABC News said last year that chiropractic is more effective than medication for neck pain. While everyone’ s results vary, our own practice members at Crossroads Chiropractic have reported improvement in their headaches, asthma, allergies, digestive issues, neck and back pain, infantile colic, ADHD, ear infections, sciatica. Help us celebrate 118 years of chiropractic by having your spine checked for vertebral misalignments in September! It’ s important to get checked for subluxtion, even if you’re not experiencing symptoms. Not all spinal misalignments cause pain, but they will interfere with the proper function of your nervous system and detract from your overall health. Getting checked is safe, easy and affordable! This month, have a complete chiropractic examination with any necessary x-rays for only $27, expires 10/10/13 (this could cost $250 or more elsewhere). Call 224-4281 today to schedule an appointment for your spinal check-up!

Fast-food workers beginning to kick back Webster’s dictionary tells us that Labor Day was “set aside for special recognition of working people.” That’s nice, but “set aside” by whom? It certainly wasn’t the Wall Street corporate and political powers that be. They nearly swallowed their cigars when the idea of honoring labor’s importance to America’s economy and social wellbeing was first proposed in 1882. Rather, this holiday was created by the workers themselves, requiring a 12-year grassroots struggle that finally culminated with an act of Congress in 1894. The campaign helped coalesce unions into a national movement. And its message of labor’s essential role also countered the haughty insistence of the robber barons of that time. The barons insisted they were America’s “makers” — the invaluable few whose monopolistic pursuits should be unfettered. For they claimed that they and their corporations were the God-ordained creators of wealth. Despite their bloated sense of selfimportance, notice that the American people do not celebrate a CEO Day. Indeed, as Abraham Lincoln put it, the real makers are the many ground-level workers who actually do the making: “Labor is prior to and independent of capital,” Abe declared in his first state of the union address. “Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” Yet on Labor Day 2013, robber barons are again ascendant, declaring that they owe nothing — not even a shared prosperity — to the workers, consumers, taxpayers, and other American people who sustain them. Quite the opposite, they and their political henchmen are blithely shredding America’s social contract and again insisting that the corporate elite must be unfettered, unions eliminated, and middle-class jobs Wal-Marted. This intentional hollowing out of our middle class is not just ignorant, but also immoral. Yet today’s establishment economists are asking: Why are so many people so glum? The Great Recession ended in 2009, they note, and even job creation is picking up. So come on people — get happy! Maybe Labor Day is a good time to clue them into one big reality behind this so-called “recovery:” Most Americans haven’t recovered. Not by a long shot. In June, median household income was still $3,400 less than in 2007, when Wall Street’s crash started the collapse of our real economy.
Why are working people still so far down? Take a peek at those new jobs the economists are hailing. They’re really “jobettes”, paying only poverty-level wages, with no benefits or upward mobility. In the recession, about 60 percent of the jobs we lost were middle-wage positions, paying approximately $14 to $21 an hour. Most of those jobs have not come back. Instead, of the jobs created since the recovery began, nearly six out of 10 are low-wage, paying less than $14 an hour. A central fact of the new American economy is that workingclass people are increasingly unable to make a living from their jobs. To grasp this widening inequity, befuddled economists might bite into a burger or pizza. Seven of the 12 biggest corporations that pay their workers the least are fast-food giants. Yum! is one. It’s a conglomerate that owns Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell. Workers don’t find these chains so yummy; for pay averages $7.50 an hour, with no health care, pensions, etc. In contrast, Yum!’s CEO hauls off about $20 million a year, even as even as he dispatches lobbyists to oppose any hike in our nation’s miserly minimum wage. This is no way to run a business, an economy, or a society. Fast-food giants are hugely profitable. (Yum! quaffed down $1.3 billion in profits last year alone.) They are more than able to pay living wages and decent benefits, as many local, independently-owned fast-food businesses do. Deliberately and unnecessarily holding down an entire workforce by funneling rightful wages into the coffers of a few ultra-rich executives and big investors is shameful — and dangerous. After all, even a dog knows the difference between being stumbled over ... and being kicked. At last, workers are beginning to kick back. All across the country, broad coalitions of religious leaders, unions, civil rights groups, community supporters, and others are joining thousands of fast-food workers in a rolling series of one-day strikes against particular chains, publicly shaming them for profiting through gross exploitation of employees. As one Baptist church leader said of his presence in these protests, “It’s a matter of justice.” Yes — and that’s what Labor Day has always been about. (Jim Hightower has been called American’s most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including “There’s Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos” and his new work, “Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow”.)
LETTERS Let’s start calling welfare in every form what it is — welfare To The Daily Sun, There must be something in the drinking water in Sandwich that causes delusions and fantasy. Nick Vazzana is simply the latest Sun contributor from that north country hamlet providing proof of this phenomena. It is fine for others to hold opposing opinions. What isn’t okay is for others to simply spout partisan drivel that is factually inaccurate and incomplete to the point of absurdity. Apparently Nick and others way north, haven’t gotten the news. Social Security, Medicare, and disability insurance are all insolvent. Nick seems to think because you paid into these programs you are entitled to access them in full whether there is money to pay your benefits not. It could be Nick simply does not understand the meaning of the word insolvent. Every Ponzi scheme, entitlement program WITHOUT EXCEPTION dreamt up by Nick Vazzana and Democrats over the the past 70 years — where you pay in 50 cents and get a dollar back in benefits — is headed for bankruptcy. Donkey math always ends the same place, BANKRUPT. The Affordable Care Act is really the UNAFFORDABLE CARE ACT by another name. Tens of millions of Americans will in fact pay far MORE for health insurance after the program begins than they do now. Harmed most will be younger Americans, age 24 to 36. Their living standards, already low will be further crushed as they are forced by government to pay thousands for health insurance they do not want or need. Millions of them will not qualify for a single dollar of subsidy. When it becomes certain these programs require severe benefit cuts or tax increases to be maintained, Nick will have the hubris and the gall to suggest Republicans are the reason for it. Come on Nick, you are surely spiking the Sandwich
water with Kool Aid. These social WELFARE programs, and that is exactly what they are, WELFARE in good measure, are all broke because they were designed to go BROKE, and spectacularly. The Congressional Budget Office suggests Medicare is so BROKE and under funded going forward the amount reaches 100 trillion dollars. or SIX TIMES the TOTAL economic out put of America for an entire year. THAT MY FRIENDS IS SPECTACULARLY BROKE. Nick suggests because you had a little money withheld form your check you are ENTITLED to this 100 trillion dollars of WELFARE and any Republican wanting to fix such an insolvency that could well bring this country to its economic death is somehow mean. This is all just delusional, partisan donkey political drivel that comes from brains turned mushy after drinking Sandwich water. Lets call WELFARE in its every form what it is, WELFARE, while America goes broke trying to pay for it. When you pay a few cents and demand to collect twice that amount or more that is called ENTITLEMENT WELFARE. There has been no more spectacular failure from Democrats than their signature legislation all implemented with PROMISES to reduce poverty and increase equality. I know news travels to Sandwich slowly, but just so you know Nick we have record millions of people TOTALLY DEPENDENT on WELFARE today and we have less equality than we have had in a century since FDR babbled fables. IT is 100 percent clear, every FDR , JFK and LBJ inspired social program has failed to deliver anything except BANKRUPTCY and more BANKRUPTCY while at the same time widening the economic stratas of America.

When do sign holders show up to protest Obama’s new war? To The Daily Sun, Watching Fox News Channel (too moderate for me!), I found myself agreeing with Alan Colmes. We both agree that the U.S. military led by Commander-In-Chief Barack Hussein Obama has no reason to be taking us into a war with Syria.
I am sure Alan Colmes would not agree with me on this part. If BHO says it is for humanitarian reasons (the number children being poisoned in Syria), then I challenge him to concede/confess that abortion/infanticide should not be celebrated in our counsee next page

LETTERS Apathy is still the No. 1 root cause of our national dysfunction To The Daily Sun, There’s an old adage that says one should never discuss religion, politics or money in polite conversation. I guess we’re all supposed to restrict our communication to discussing the latest variety of tomatoes we planted this year? No thanks. These opinion pages are definitely not “polite” means of communication — especially in some of the “freebie” papers circulating around the Lakes Region. Back to America’s mega-problem. There is a movement going on to try and amend the Constitution to counteract the effects of the Citizen’s United Case. For the uninitiated, this case gave corporations the power to spend obscene amounts of money to screw us over — not that they needed any help to begin with. Most politicians will jump on the bandwagon during the coming elections and decry the influence of ungodly amounts of money as the main reason for our dysfunctional democracy and if we believe them then we are contributing to what all politicians know, ie we are so ill-informed that we can actually be influenced by shallow spin-dried TV ads. Yes, apathy is still the #1 root cause of our dysfunction. It’s not a couple hundred thousand conservatives rallying in Washington. The problem is the couple hundred million citizens who are tuned out of politics altogether. Don’t look to our main stream media to help us out. With their herd
mentality, they’re more interested in letting us common folk know what upsets conservatives or liberals and regurgitating the “platitude du jour” as uttered by some politician. I could give two hoots and a holler about what they think. Just tell me how public policy is going to affect my life. If we think local politics is any better, consider Jeanie Forrester, our District 2 State Senator. She writes, or should I say her staff writes, a weekly “travelogue” for some of the papers in her district. Thanks to her, I keep abreast of all the recreation areas, wineries, farms and various and sundry ribbon cuttings in our area. I usually get this kind of information from the New Hampshire magazine or the Hippo. I’m sure these papers consider her sometimes quarter page “public service” messages as appropriate but I hope they are at least charging her for the space — if not then they’re missing out on some good revenue. Public policy Jeanie — that’s what the people elected you for — not photo ops. Tell us how you implement public policy and how it affects our lives. Talk to us about GMOs , hemp production, labeling of foods, education funding, casinos, infrastructure. Tell us how you voted and why, so that the papers that print your stuff can really justify it as a “public service message”. George Maloof Plymouth
It’s important to remember the people who voted for Obamacare To The Daily Sun, I hope that all of you young people with no health care are getting your money together to buy Obamacare. In New Hampshire, they are meetings on the implementation of Obamacare. Here are some facts for you: — The Affordable Care Act (ACA) A/K/A Obamacare is so complex that federal government is funding navigators to explain what is going on. A quick question: did you have a navigator for auto or your homeowner’s insurance? — One of the goals of Obamacare was that competition in the health care insurance market would reduce premiums. However, there is only one carrier (company) on the health insurance exchange. If you can only buy clothes at one store in N.H., is this competition? — Some of you may say, I am not
going to buy health care insurance. If you don’t, you will be subject to a tax. In the insurance lingo, this is called the individual mandate. — There was an employer mandate whereby employers would have to provide health care to full time employees. However, President Obama decided to postpone the employer mandate. Should you be upset about this, I am. What is fair for the employers should be fair for the employees. — Congress and their staff regardless of income are getting a 75 percent subsidy on Obamacare. Are you? I would strongly recommend that everyone familiarize themselves on Obamacare. It is important to know the names of the people who voted for Obamacare. This is the gift from Rep. Shea-Porter and Senator Shaheen. Jim Mayotte Sanbornton
Bottom line: you ‘haves’ just do not want to help the ‘have nots’ To The Daily Sun, You right-wing nuts are giving me a pain. I suspect all of you have access to medical services, for which you are not paying the full bill. Try looking into the eyes of a mother of a sick child and tell her you don’t want her to be able to take her child to the doctor before she gets pneumonia and must go the ER.
You may be the children of fathers who thought Social Security and Medicare were the start of socialism and had to be stopped. Now it is Medicaid and Obamacare that is socialism which we can’t afford. Get real. Our taxes are going to give subsidies to big agribusinesses, oil companies, and wars, as well as tax breaks for billionsee next page

In the Middle East, Israel and the U.S. conducted a joint missile test over the Mediterranean in a display of military might in the region. Obama set the fast-paced events in motion on Saturday, when he unexpectedly stepped back from ordering a military strike under his own authority and announced he would seek congressional approval. Recent presidents have all claimed the authority to undertake limited military action without congressional backing. Some have followed up with such action. Obama said he, too, believes he has that authority, and House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi said during the day that even Congress’ refusal to authorize the president wouldn’t negate the power of the commander in chief. Still, the president also has stated that the United States will be stronger if lawmakers grant their support. But neither Obama nor his aides has been willing to state what options would be left to him should Congress reject his call. As Obama has often noted, the country is weary of war after more than a decade of combat deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq, and there is residual skepticism a decade after Bush administration claims went see next page

Additionally, a spate of polls indicates the public opposes a military strike against Syria, by a margin of 59-36 percent if the United States acts unilaterally, according to a new Washington Post-ABC survey, and a narrower 46-51 if allies take part. Among major allies, only France has publicly offered to join the United States in a strike, although President Francois Hollande says he will await Congress’ decision. The British House of Commons rejected a military strike last week. Yet the president’s decision to seek congressional approval presents lawmakers with a challenge, as well. Even some of Obama’s sternest critics in Congress expressed strong concerns about the repercussions of a failure to act. House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, R-Va., said after Tuesday’s White House
meeting that a failure to respond to the use of chemical weapons “only increases the likelihood of future WMD (weapons of mass destruction) use by the regime, transfer to Hezbollah, or acquisition by al-Qaida.” America’s largest pro-Israel organization, AIPAC, also announced its support for legislation to authorize a military strike. Apart from the meeting with Obama, the White House provided closed-door briefings for members of Congress. Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., said after attending one session that administration officials told lawmakers that the targets the military had identified last week were still present, despite the highly public discussion of a possible attack. “Seems strange to see some targets still available several weeks later,” Flake said, adding that he was “still listening” to the administration’s lobbying.

In Laconia, Ayotte says any strike against Syria must be more than just ‘shot across the bow’ By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — U.S. Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) told workers at Titeflex during a tour of the plant yesterday that any military action taken against Syria for using chemical weapons against civilians should be ‘’more than just a shot across the bow’’ against the Assad regime. ‘’We want to make sure we’re having an impact,’’ said Ayotte, who added that she didn’t favor an openended commitment on the use of force in Syria and hadn’t yet made up her mind on how she would vote on any resolution proposed by the Obama administration authorizing a strike against the Hassad regime. Ayotte’s comments came in response to a question from Grace Berglund, a quality control engineer at Titeflex, during a meeting held with workers at the plant following Ayotte’s tour with members of its management team. Ayotte said that she will participate in a classified briefing on Wednesday in the Senate Armed Services Committee focusing on President Obama’s request for an authorization to use military force in Syria. She said that the briefing will include Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “The decision to authorize military action is one of the most serious decisions we confront,’’ said Ayotte. “This briefing will provide an opportunity for me to ask important questions and scrutinize the administration’s plan — including what the impact of failing to act would have on our country and countries in the Middle East, including Syria, Israel and Iran. I look forward to learning more about the president’s objectives and his military strategy for achieving them. “While I appreciated the president’s address on Saturday, I believe he should address the American people in a prime time address before Congress votes, outlining why using military force against the Assad regime is in our national security interests, what our objectives will be in using force, and how we will achieve those objectives.” Ayotte said she was particularly concerned about what message would be sent to Iran and Korea and to terrorist groups with regard to the use of chemical weapons and there proliferation if there was no action taken at all by the United States. She was also questioned about the impact of socalled sequestration, which has led to automatic fed-

eral spending cuts, on defense in general and could have an impact on Titeflex, which does 25 percent of its business in the defense field. Ayotte said that she had not supported sequestration because ‘’there are smarter ways to do this’’ rather than have across the board cuts. She was at Titeflex as part of her statewide tour of businesses and met with Graham Thomson, general manager of Titeflex, and other members of the management team. The company, formerly known as Smith Tubular Systems and prior to that as Lewis and Saunders, employs 350 people, making it the third largest employer in the city, behind Lakes Region General Hospital and New Hampshire Ball Bearings, and has annual sales of $85 million. Titeflex is part of the Smith Group, based in London, and leads the world in steel braided and para-aramid flexible hose. Among its major customers are Boeing, Pratt and Whitney, Rolls Royce, General Electric and Airbus. She said that the company is looking to expand and talked with her about their concerns over health care costs, federal tax rates and the barriers in obtaining Federal Aviation Authority for a foreign repair station in the Far East which would enable it to use its current repair capabilities to compete in a growing market.

LUTHER from page one tics, Luther was elected to the City Council seven times by the voters of Ward 2, who he represented for 13 years before resigning when he moved to another ward. A Republican, in 2010 and again in 2012 he was elected to the N.H. House of Representatives, where he serves on the Judiciary Committee. Luther, who changed his Rep. Bob Luther position to cast the deciding (file photo) vote to place a property tax cap on the ballot in 2005, said he could foresee circumstances that would lead him to recommend overriding the tax cap. He acknowledged that a steep increase in the county tax, which counts toward the cap, would be a concern, but insisted that “no way, no how are we voting for a $45-million jail. The county delegation oversees the county budget and will keep costs down,” he continued. “But, say they vote a 9 percent budget increase, I would not vote to override the tax cap to accommodate the county budget.” Troubled by the stagnant, if not shrinking, population of the city, Luther said it was a “trend that needs to be reversed,” noting that “the people we’re losing are not on fixed incomes.” He pointed to the partnerships between local employers and the Huot Technical Center at Laconia High School as a means of providing businesses with the skilled workforce they need and creating opportunities for young people. While Luther confessed he had no specific proposals for reviving commerce downtown, he stressed that “the downtown business owners are the people to go to. They know better than anyone else what downtown needs. They’re there everyday.” He added that he did not believe the city should either purchase or operate the Colonial Theater. As mayor, Luther said that he would seek to bring what he called the three neighborhoods — downtown, Lakeport and The Weirs — closer together. “They are parts of one city,” he said. He suggested the tax increment financing (TIF) districts in each of the three could contribute to this process. “Lakeport needs parking,” he said. “What would help The Weirs is a common consensus from the players involved.” He said that the extension of the WOW Trail downtown and the restoration of Weirs Beach would be suitable projects for tax increment financing. Luther said that the city should not pursue the purchase of the former Laconia State School property on North Main Street. “We can’t afford it, even with federal help,” he said, referring to the cost of addressing the environmental conditions and repairing the buildings. “I don’t think the city wants that property,” he said. Luther welcomed the effort by Genesis Behavioral Health to establish a residential treatment center for the mentally ill at its Church Street property. Emphasizing the need for such a facility in the community, he said “it would be located where most of their clients can reach it on foot and it’s not at all too close to downtown.” Whether to retain the four firefighters added to the department with a federal grant, Luther said “is not an question of need. We need them. The question is can we afford them.” He said that if the choice was between continuing to spend $1-million a year on roads or retaining the additional firefighters, “I will continue to advocate for roads. You have to set your priorities,” he said. “I’m not a fan of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT)”, Luther said flatly. He said that if the mandatory recycling program failed to reach its target of removing 4,000 tons from the waste stream, he would not recommend introducing PAYT. “The most important job of mayor,” Luther said “is ceremonial, and Seymour set the bar very high.” He said that he would do his best to reach that bar, beginning by spending one day each week, usually Mondays, in City Hall where he would be available to the general public and close to the City Manager. (Editor’s Note: All three mayoral candidates are being asked the same set of a dozen questions at interviews providing the information for profiles of each to be published before Tuesday’s primary.)
Is holding a municipal primary election worth expense? By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Next Tuesday, Sept. 10, the city will spend $10,000 and 48 paid volunteers will spend 10 hours at the polls at the primary election, after which one of the three candidates for mayor and for city councilor in Ward 2 will be eliminated from the general election ballot in November. Laconia, Manchester and Keene, are the only cities among the 13 in the state that hold primary elections, which elsewhere were abandoned when partisan elections were replaced by non-partisan elections. In Manchester, where a primary election costs $25,000 and requires 156 poll officials, the City Charter stipulates that if there are no more than four candidates for at-large alderman, the city clerk shall declare a primary election unnecessary and the candidates nominated in those wards where there are no more than two candidates for alderman. Of course, if there are more than two candidates for mayor on the primary ballot, the polls would be open in all 12 wards. In Keene, the charter includes a similar provision. If there are no more than two candidates in the election for mayor and ward councilor as well as no more than 10 candidates for at-large councilors, the clerk shall declare the primary election unnecessary and the candidates nominated. City Manager Scott Myers said yesterday that he has discussed the need for primary elections with City Clerk Mary Reynolds as well as with several
city councilors, who he said expressed “mixed feelings. Some see the cost savings,” he continued, “while others see the downside that without a primary a mayor or councilor could be elected without winning a majority.” In Laconia, in the eight primary elections between 1997 and 2011 voter turnout has averaged ninepercent. In 2001, when turnout reached a high of 18-percent there were four candidates for mayor, along with five council candidates in Ward 3, three in Wards 4 and 5 and two in Ward 6. In three of the past eight elections — in 2003, 2009 and 2011 — primary elections were held even though there were not more than two candidates for either mayor or any of the six council seats. In 2011, only 259 of 8,422, or 3percent of registered voters went to the polls, just 21 of them in Ward 2 and another 22 in Ward 5, at a cost to the city of approximately $39 a vote.

Belmont woman celebrates 88th birthday on the racetrack— not at the racetrack, on the racetrack By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCESSIONS from page one members, as well as teachers as advisers. Laconia Youth Football is a not-for-profit football league that focuses on younger players and is not exclusive to Laconia students. It has no formal affiliation with the School District. Laurent said the Kiwanis Club reached out to the School District on April 1 and was told that no decisions had been made regarding the concession stand. He said he spoke with Champlin and Cormier. “At that time, we were assured no decisions has been made and we would be included in the discussion going forward,” said a letter Laurent sent to the School Board. Laurent also mentioned a communication he got from Champlin in March saying “he feared he may have given something away that was not his to give”. After the meeting, Laurent told The Daily Sun that Cormier was copied on that e-mail from Champlin and Kiwanians made sure current Superintendent Terri Forsten had a copy as well. After Champlin’s retirement, Laurent said publicly that he contacted Cormier two more times by e-mail and each time he was told, “No decision has been made and we will keep you informed.” Apparently, the rest of the School Board was also kept in the dark place about the decision. “We’ve taken 60 years of tradition and thrown it out the window,” said School Board member Scott Vachon. “Why is this the first I’ve heard of this?” he asked. “I don’t have an answer for that,” Cormier replied. Cormier said the Kiwanis members could have the concessions for all of the other events that will be played on the new field, including soccer, field hockey and lacrosse. He said he recalls the conversation with Laurent about the concession stand in March and said somebody later made the decision to give the home football concessions to Laconia Youth Football but he didn’t know who. Cormier also said the superintendent has the power to do that. He said he asked the school administration for a policy regarding high school concessions before Champlin retired but to date he hasn’t gotten one. He noted there have been a lot of changes in the district this year and fears the decision on the concession stand may have been “put on the back burner.” Aside from Champlin’s sudden retirement for health reasons in April, the district also has a new director for the Huot Technical Center and a new athletic director, Craig Kozens, who is technically in charge of the concession stand. Cormier said the Key Club can run the concession stand for the other events that will be held at the field including a soccer tournament, field hockey and lacrosse. “Let’s be serious,” said Vachon. “The football games are the biggest draw.” “Are you looking for time or are you looking to bump Youth Football?” Cormier asked Laurent. Kiwanian Kathy Calvin said the two agencies had tried to work together about five years ago and there were some problems. She said the high school principal at the time had to mediate a solution and gave the Key Club the right to operate the home football game concessions. The School Board made no changes to the concession stand policy but did say it would create a written policy for adoption by the board about future use of the concession stand. Outside the meeting, the five Kiwanians remained unhappy, with both the outcome and the explanation. “There’s some funny business going on,” said Laurent.
LGC from page one would be rebated to those current and retired school staff members who were paying into the LGC health insurance program during the 2009-11 timeframe. He said $452,708 of the refund would go into the district’s general fund. Eligible district employees and retirees will receive their refunds in mid-October. Individual refunds would amount to between $30 and $100, Isabelle said. He said the figure represented between 4 percent and 12 percent of the amount the employees paid toward their health insurance. Retirees will get their refunds in a special check. Current employees will have their refund included in their regular pay check. Isabelle told the board that the district decided to disburse the refund in this way after conferring with its auditors. Isabelle was not immediately able to say exactly how many current and former district employees would be getting refunds. The Bureau of Securities Regulation found the LGC violated state law by improperly collecting money and retaining unnecessary surplus funds. The organization also improperly transferred assets, subsidizing one insurance pool (worker’s compensation) at the expense of the others, the bureau said. The organization believes the large reserves kept rates stable for members and reduced long-term costs. Critics, however, said the surplus should have been returned to its members rather that used for other purposes, such as subsidizing a new workers’ compensation insurance program. In other business, Superintendent Kent Heming-
way reported that student enrollment at the start of the school year was 1,200. He said the number represented a drop of 11 students from last year. But the drop was smaller than expected. Hemingway said school officials had earlier thought the decline would be between 15 to 20 students. “Overall our enrollment is slowly decreasing,” he said. NOTES: The School Board approved a three-day trip to Quebec City for high school students. French teacher Louise Jagusch said the February trip would give the students both linguistic and cultural experience. The trip will take place Feb. 7-9, during Quebec City’s annual Winter Carnival, and would involve the students missing one day of class. . . . . . High School Principal Peter Sawyer told the board he wants to mandate community service for students. He said that he plans to bring a proposal to the board for their approval. At present Sawyer is envisioning requiring students to perform six hours of community service each year. He said the service could be performed through existing activities such as scouting, church groups, or civic groups. But he said that the school would need to connect students not currently involved in such activities with other community service opportunities. . . . . . Hemingway said the district received very high marks during a recent audit of its special education programs. “We really had a perfect score,” he said. . . . . . The board accepted the resignation of long-time School District treasurer Paul Simoneau and appointed Susan Jenson to serve as interim treasurer. Simoneau, who has been treasurer for 16 years, recently moved from Gilford. Jenson will serve as interim treasurer until town elections next March.

Belknap Mill aviation exhibit traces history of Laconia Airport LACONIA — There was a time when the roar of an airplane’s engine sent every family member running into the yard to gaze up at the sky and wave wildly at a passing plane. Of course, we knew the plane was probably too high in the air to see us, but it was fun to wave anyway. And it was fun to watch the trail of smoke the departing airplane left in the blue sky. Airplanes brought the outside world to the Lakes Region. When “Laconia Airport’s Rich History and Bright Future” opens at the Belknap Mill at 25 Beacon St. East in downtown Laconia on Thursday, September 5, viewers will get a peek look at the history of aviation in the Lakes Region from its early days to the present. Coordinated and presented by the Laconia Airport Authority, the exhibit will feature all sorts of aviation memorabilia, from fascinating old photos to flight artifacts. Says Diane Terrill, Laconia Airport Authority Manager, “We will have photos of the airport over the years and some of the aviators that were significant to aviation in the Lakes Region; displays by some of our aviation friends including NH Aviation Historical Society, Civil Air Patrol, Winnipesaukee Radio Controllers (model airplane club), Jane Rice, Emerson Aviation, Sky Bright, WinnAero and the ACE Academy (Aviation Career Exploration); and various personal and airplane artifacts on loan. People were very generous. Aviation enthusiasts are a tight-knit family, always willing to help each other and to share their passion and knowledge to inspire others.”
A free public opening reception will be held Friday, September 6 from 5-7 p.m. Says Terrill, “We’re grateful to the Belknap Mill Society for providing us the opportunity to showcase the rich history and bright future of the Laconia Airport to the communities we serve. We look forward to meeting those interested in aviation at the Friday evening opening reception.” Historically, the first “landing airfield” in the Laconia area is believed to have been on the meadow at Sawyer flats Early photo of a biplane which appears to have landed in a field at Sawyer Meadows.

David B. Stevens, 93 LACONIA — David B. Stevens, 93, formerly of New Hampton, NH and Belleview, Florida, died on Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2013 at the Belknap County Nursing Home in Laconia NH. Born on December 28, 1919 in Greenfield, Massachusetts he was the son of David Brown Stevens and Laura (Wurtenberger) Stevens Hatch, and was brought up on the campus of Mount Hermon Prep School in Gill, Mass. His father, a native of New Hampton, NH, had moved to Mt. Hermon to manage the prep school’s large herd of dairy cattle. Mr. Stevens was educated at local elementary schools and attended Mount Hermon Prep School. David was proud to serve his country during World War II. He joined the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1942, and was stationed at remote airfields in China, where he was a fuel supply specialist, supporting the brave pilots, who flew “Flying Tigers” aircraft, longrange bombers, and transport planes, until the end of the war.

Expert horticulturalist to speak at Wicwas Grange MEREDITH – One of the nation’s foremost horticulturalists and an expert on composting will give a presentation and answer questions during an appearance at the Wicwas Lake Grange on Thursday, September 5, at 6:30 p.m. Dr. Francis Gouin, a Laconia native, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland where he served on the faculty for 33 years, chairing the Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture from 1990 until his retirement in 1995. Maurice “Mo” Gouin of Meredith, who arranged for
his brother to speak at the local Grange, recounted that his sibling took a serendipitous route to finding his passion for plants. Sickened by rheumatic fever at age 9, Francis Gouin wasn’t expected to live long. His mother encouraged him to help her in the family garden, a task that led to improved health and his epiphany that he liked having his hands in the dirt. At age 12, their father allowed “Frank” to take over the family’s acre-and-a-half vegetable garden and see next page
from preceding page August 5, 1963 the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) amended Northeast Airlines’ certificate requiring seasonal service only. In October of 1968, Winnipesaukee Airlines, Inc. offered some off-season air carrier service. In June of 1969, Northeast Airlines was allowed to suspend its summer service to Laconia Municipal Airport with Winnipesaukee Airlines providing replacement service until 1980. At that time, Precision Airlines purchased Winnipesaukee Aviation (WA) taking over WA’s functions at Laconia Municipal Airport. Except for a brief interruption of service in 1970, WA and WA/Precision Airlines continued to provide year round commuter service from Laconia Munici-
pal Airport to Boston’s Logan International Airport until 1983. In 1987 Valley Airlines began air carrier service from Laconia Municipal Airport until 1989 when Skymaster took over. Skymaster was sold to Atlantic North, which operated from March of 1993 until August of 1993. From 1993 to the present day, there have been no air carrier operations at Laconia Municipal Airport. The Laconia Airport is a now a General Aviation Airport with all civilian flying except scheduled service. “Laconia Airport’s Rich History and Bright Future” exhibit runs from September 5 through 25 and is free and open to the public Monday – Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; other hours are by chance or appointment.

from preceding page roadside farm stand. While in high school, he worked alongside his father as a plumber, tended the garden, ran the farm stand and rebuilt a greenhouse. While Mo continued in the plumbing and heating field, earning his master status and joining those who testified before the N.H. Legislature resulting in passage of a law requiring licensing of plumbers, Frank headed to the University of New Hampshire’s Thompson School of Agriculture. Unable to afford a dorm, Gouin lived in a room above a greenhouse in return for care-taking. When not in class, he banked 65 cents an hour working in the greenhouse and received the perk of being shoulder to shoulder with distinguished horticulturists like Albert Yeager. Dr. Yeager was considered a genius in plant breeding and developed a midget
watermelon and the High C tomato, which had four times the vitamin C content as a regular tomato, and three times the vitamin content of an average orange. After honing his skills working summers as a nurseryman, Gouin transferred to a four-year program at UNH and went on to earn a B.S. degree in horticulture. Not surprisingly, he met and married a fellow horticultural student, Clara. After being awarded his doctorate, Dr. Gouin accepted an appointment to the faculty of Maryland’s Department of Horticulture and left a lasting legacy. He now resides in Deale, MD. The Wicwas Lake Grange is located in Meredith Center at the intersections of Meredith Center Road, Corliss Hill Road and Livingston Road, next door to the Meredith Center Store.

Jazz Bar swings into the fall; Boston supergroup plays Thursday LACONIA — The Jazz Bar at Weir Beach will present the Horizons Quartet Thursday September 5 at 7 p.m. Admission is $10. Full bar, dinner, coffee, and desserts are available. The Horizons Quartet is a collaborative ‘super-group’ project of acclaimed Boston jazz artists. Guitarist and coleader Steve Kirby is best known for lyricism as a soloist, a dark sound, and for dynamic ensemble playing. As described by the Boston Globe “Kirby plays and writes from inside the music, putting melody and feeling first.” Kirby is a Berklee College of Music professor, contributor to Guitar Player Magazine, and has two critically acclaimed CDs on the Challenge Record label. Kirby finds a musical foil in Ed Lucie, an electric bassist whose axewielding has drawn the praise of “creative grooves and unique compositional ideas” (Bass Player Magazine) while also earning him gigs with Buddy Rich, Warren Haynes and Stevie Wonder. Saxophonist Tucker Antell fills out the front line with a sound that is reminiscent of the great swing saxophonists, while modern in trajectory.

By Holiday Mathis
better you know yourself the more often you’ll get it right the first time. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some suggest that there are only two choices: to do it the way it’s been done, or to revolt. You’ll find a third choice, though, and it’s the best one: Do it the way it’s been done, but with a twist. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Nobody should live in a vacuum, nor should they live without a vacuum. Being aware of the whole picture will be just as important today as cleaning the small picture of your own home. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Most people don’t listen. So if you listen very well, you’ll find that you learn enough to stand out in a very positive way with the ones you’ve heard and understood. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 4). You’ll play a key role in someone’s happiness over the next six weeks. Your handling of confidential matters earns you trust and money. You’ll apply your maturity and experience to win a prize in October. November and May bring your best financial opportunities. A legal arrangement is finalized in June. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 49, 38, 6 and 20.
by Chad Carpenter
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have an advantage, but you won’t press it. You don’t like to see greed in others, and you despise it in yourself. That’s why you’ll wield just enough power to get what you want and no more. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People will try to tell you who you are because it’s a quirk of human nature to incorrectly assume this kind of knowledge. But they don’t really know. Remember that you are the hero of a story no one else has ever lived. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A series of small actions will add up to something remarkable, but that’s not why you do what you do. You are simply responding to a voice inside that is urging you forward, nudging you toward greatness. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Kindness will be your top priority. Because your nearest and dearest have shown you both their best and their worst, it’s sometimes easiest to be nice to those you don’t know well. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s easier to set boundaries and expectations when you’re starting fresh with people than to try to change a current relationship dynamic. The bottom line is that people will treat you the way you let them treat you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Pride is a function of placing a high value on what you’ve done and who you are. Vanity is putting effort into the way you want others to see you. Both will matter to the outcome of today’s business. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You can’t rewrite yesterday’s loss, but tomorrow is yours to win if you plan well enough. Your future-vision is clear today. Think about what could go wrong, and address each scenario. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Can a person protect his or her own innocence? Just knowing that there’s something more to know puts a crack in the protective eggshell of the innocent. At least you can still protect another person’s innocence, and so you will. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may not be able to decide what’s best for you until after you’ve made a few mistakes. That’s just what it takes to get to know yourself. The

Yesterday’s Answer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, September 4, 2013— Page 19
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Sept. 4, the 247th day of 2013. There are 118 days left in the year. Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins at sunset. Today’s Highlight in History: On September 4, 1888, George Eastman received a patent for his roll-film box camera, and registered his trademark: “Kodak.” On this date: In 1781, Los Angeles was founded by Spanish settlers under the leadership of Governor Felipe de Neve. In 1886, a group of Apache Indians led by Geronimo (also known as Goyathlay, “One Who Yawns”) surrendered to Gen. Nelson Miles at Skeleton Canyon in Arizona. In 1893, English author Beatrix Potter first told the story of Peter Rabbit in the form of a “picture letter” to Noel Moore, the son of Potter’s former governess. In 1917, the American Expeditionary Forces in France suffered their first fatalities during World War I when a German plane attacked a British-run base hospital. In 1951, President Harry S. Truman addressed the nation from the Japanese peace treaty conference in San Francisco in the first live, coast-tocoast television broadcast. In 1957, Arkansas Gov. Orval Faubus used Arkansas National Guardsmen to prevent nine black students from entering all-white Central High School in Little Rock. Ford Motor Co. began selling its ill-fated Edsel. In 1962, The Beatles, with new drummer Ringo Starr, recorded “Love Me Do” at EMI Studios in London. (The more familiar version with substitute drummer Andy White and Starr on tambourine was recorded a week later.) In 1971, an Alaska Airlines jet crashed near Juneau, killing all 111 people on board. In 1972, U.S. swimmer Mark Spitz won a seventh gold medal at the Munich Olympics, in the 400-meter medley relay. “The New Price Is Right,” hosted by Bob Barker, premiered on CBS. In 1998, Internet services company Google filed for incorporation in California. Ten years ago: Miguel Estrada, whose nomination had become a flash point for Democratic opposition to President George W. Bush’s judicial choices, withdrew from consideration for an appeals court seat after Republicans failed in seven attempts to break a Senate filibuster. Five years ago: With a pledge that “change is coming,” Sen. John McCain accepted the Republican presidential nomination at the party’s convention in St. Paul, Minn., vowing to vanquish what he called the “constant partisan rancor” gripping Washington. The Dow industrial average fell 344.65 points to 11,188.23 on gloomy economic data. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice in a sex scandal, forcing the Democrat out of office after months of defiantly holding onto his job. One year ago: Democrats opened their national convention in Charlotte, N.C., by ridiculing Republican Mitt Romney as a millionaire candidate who “quite simply doesn’t get it”; first lady Michelle Obama lovingly praised her husband as a devoted spouse and caring father at home and a “man we can trust” to revive the nation’s weak economy as president. The Treasury Department reported the national debt had topped $16 trillion.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: Atrial fibrillation is a serious health issue that can lead to stroke. I didn’t even really know about it until my wife and I attended a preventive health screening at a local church where they checked for atrial fibrillation and other stroke risk factors. It turns out that atrial fibrillation is an irregular heartbeat that you may not even feel. We had no idea my wife had this condition until the screening. We brought the results to our doctor’s office, and they jumped on it. An EKG confirmed the screening results and told us that my wife was on the verge of having a stroke. This screening saved her life. September is Atrial Fibrillation Awareness Month, and I hope everyone will be checked for it. It is treatable. Finding it and working with your doctor to manage it can save your life or the life of someone you love. -- Dewey Bandy, Zephyr Hills, Fla. Dear Dewey Bandy: Thank goodness you and your wife attended the screening. We hope your letter will serve as a reminder to all of our readers to talk to their doctor about being tested for atrial fibrillation. Dear Annie: I recently learned that my husband of 40 years has reconnected with an old flame. I don’t think anything has happened between them yet, but I am sure he’d go for it if he wouldn’t get caught. So, I would like to address this to her: Dear Other Woman: My husband is a good provider, but don’t expect companionship. I can count on one hand the number of times we have seen a movie in 40 years. Don’t expect him to attend church or any other activity with you. Don’t expect to have a social life. Don’t expect him to go for a walk with you, even though he has a number of health issues and a walk would be good for him. Do expect to work full time and still do almost everything else to run the household. Do expect him to spend almost every evening and
weekend watching TV. Do expect him to want sex on a regular basis, although he doesn’t care about your satisfaction. When his grandchildren visit, do expect to entertain and watch them, because he won’t. From your conversations with him, you probably think I am just baggage at this point, but say the word, and I will pack his suitcase. -- Too Tired To Care Dear Too Tired: Your marriage sounds depressing and exhausted. If you want to salvage what’s left, please consider putting some energy back into it. Marriage takes effort from both partners. Your husband is looking for excitement, and you’re fed up with his self-centered behavior. Is it too late for you to work up any interest? Could he possibly learn to be more considerate? Please get some counseling, with or without him, and decide what you want from your life and whether it includes your husband. Dear Annie: Thank you for your perfect answer to “Wichita, Kan.,” the teacher who asked what gift to give students when invited to their graduation parties. You said a personal letter saying positive things about the student is also a “gift.” My daughter just graduated high school and invited a substitute science teacher she really liked to her graduation party. Later that evening, she was going through the cards people had left for her. When she opened the card from the science teacher, she proclaimed, “Look what Mr. McF gave me!” and handed it to me to read. There was nothing in the card but a handwritten message. But the message was priceless. When my daughter sat down to write her graduation thank-you notes, this teacher received one, along with all of the notes for physical gifts. It was truly appreciated. -- Proud Mother in N.P., NE
