SPRING, Texas (AP) — A fight inside a Houston-area high school escalated into a series of stabbings Wednesday that left a 17-year-old student dead and several others wounded, sheriff’s officials said.

Meanwhile, Spring school district officials have canceled classes at the high school for the rest of the week.

Sheriff’s detectives questioned a 17-yearold male who officials now consider to be the sole suspect in a stabbing rampage at a Houston-area high school, according to a Harris County Sheriff’s Office statement.

The statement did not identify the suspect or specify if he is a student at Spring High School, where Wednesday’s attacks occurred. No charges have been filed.

“We believe a confrontation of some sort occurred ... that ultimately led into a physical confrontation that produced weapons,” Sheriff Adrian Garcia said. “There has been some information that this may have been see STABBINGS page 15

Obama wins Senate committees backing for Syria strike WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s request for speedy congressional backing of a military strike in Syria advanced Wednesday toward a showdown Senate vote, while the commander in chief left open the possibility he would order retaliation for a deadly chemical weapons attack even if Congress withheld its approval.

Legislation backing the use of force against President Bashar Assad’s government cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a 10-7 vote after it was

stiffened at the last minute to include a pledge of support for “decisive changes to the present military balance of power” in Syria’s civil war. It also would rule out U.S. combat operations on the ground.

The measure is expected to reach the Senate floor next week, although the timing for a vote is uncertain. Sen. Rand Paul, a Kentucky conservative with strong tea party ties, has threatened a filibuster.

The House also is reviewing Obama’s request, but its timetable is even less certain and the measure could face a rockier

time there.

The administration blames Assad for a chemical weapons attack that took place on Aug. 21 and says more than 1,400 civilians died, including at least 400 children.

Other casualty estimates are lower, and the Syrian government denies responsibility, contending rebels fighting to topple the government were to blame.

The Senate panel’s vote marked the first formal response in Congress, four days after Obama unexpectedly put off an see OBAMA page 13

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter says for now, she’s opposing U.S. military action in Syria, saying it’s hard to see how it would resolve the civil war there.

Shea-Porter, a Democrat, says while Syrian President Assad has committed vicious crimes against his own people, she says U.S. military action might lead to more chaos and regional instability.

“If the United States launches a sus-

tained and heavy attack, we run the risk of swapping Assad out for some equally ruthless group,” Shea-Porter said in a statement Tuesday night. “If we launch a smaller, targeted attack, we run the risk of emboldening President Assad and causing more casualties.”

Shea-Porter said she is not against all war, but to justify U.S. military action, “there has to be a threat to national security, a strong strategy, and a good possibil-

ity of success,” she said. “At this moment, I do not believe the situation in Syria meets these criteria.”

Sen. Kelly Ayotte, participating Wednesday in an Armed Services Committee briefing, said President Obama should address the American people in a prime-time address before Congress votes.

Jail suicide of Ariel Castro brings little expression of sympathy in Cleveland CLEVELAND (AP) — Residents in the tough Cleveland neighborhood where three women were secretly imprisoned for a decade reacted with scorn and grim satisfaction Wednesday after Ariel Castro hanged himself in his cell barely a month into a life sentence.

Even the prosecutor joined in.

“This man couldn’t take, for even a month, a small portion of what he had dished out for more than a decade,” said Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Tim McGinty.

Castro, 53, was found hanging from a

bedsheet Tuesday night at the state prison in Orient, corrections spokeswoman JoEllen Smith said. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The coroner’s office said it was suicide. see SUICIDE page 9

‘No’ to attacking Syria to save Obama’s face “Catastrophic!” said Sen. John McCain. If Congress votes “no” on a resolution calling for U.S. intervention in Syria’s civil war, says McCain, it would be “catastrophic” for U.S. credibility in the world.

Consider what the senator is saying here. Because Barack Obama, two years ago, said “Assad must go,” and, one year ago, said any use of chemical weapons crosses his “red line,” Congress has no choice but to plunge America into yet another Mideast war.

Can this be? Are we really, as a nation, required to go to war to make good the simple-minded statements of an untutored president who had no constitutional authority to issue his impulsive ultimata?

Are we really required to go to war to get the egg off Obama’s face?

Not since the War of Jenkins’ Ear has there been a dumber cause for a great country to go to war. Is there no way out?

There is, and it’s right in front of us.

The House, Senate or both can vote “no” on the war resolution and Obama can then say, as did David Cameron, that, while he disagrees, he respects the decision of a Congress in which the Constitution placed sole authority to authorize America’s going to war.

Are Brits now crying “catastrophe!”? Do the Spanish no longer think the Brits will defend Gibraltar? Is Britain now wholly noncredible to the world?

For Obama, and for us, it is the other options that invite catastrophe.

If, for example, the House or Senate votes down the war resolution and Obama, without authorization from Congress, the Security Council, NATO or the Arab League plunges us into a new war this nation does not want to fight, he will be courting a geostrategic and political disaster.

Even if Congress approves a war resolution, the president should think long and hard about diving into a war he sought to avoid and stayed out of for over two years.

Make no mistake; if Obama attacks Syria, be it for hours or days, we are in that blood-soaked abattoir for the duration.

In his dramatic statement Saturday, as politically astute as it was constitutionally correct, Obama called Syria “someone else’s war.”

Whose war? It is Shia Alawite vs. Sunni, Muslim vs. Christian, Kurd vs. Arab, Islamist vs. secularist. Backing Bashar Assad are Iran, Hezbollah and Russia.

Backing the rebels are Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the Gulf states, alQaida, foreign jihadists and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Assad is accused of killing 100,00 people. But that is the total of the dead in a civil war Assad has as much right to fight as the rebels.

While his army is accused of using gas on civilians, the Islamist rebels have murdered Christians, massacred captives and engaged in public acts of cannibalism on dead Syrian soldiers.

Gas is a sickening weapon. Yet, there is no evidence thus far that Assad ordered its use. Rebel elements are said to have been found with sarin. As for Americans who tend to prefer white phosphorus, napalm and cluster bombs, upon what lofty moral ground do we stand?

Have we forgotten that Churchill wanted to drop anthrax on Germany and settled for two days of firebombing the defenseless city of Dresden? Or that our great friend Anwar Sadat was the confidante of Gamal Abdel Nasser when Egypt was using poison gas on Yemeni tribesmen?

The United States does not have any national security interest in Syria’s war. Why would we then launch missile attacks to “degrade” Assad’s military, when that army and air force are all that stands between us and a privileged sanctuary for al-Qaida in northern Syria, not unlike what al-Qaida had in Tora Bora and Waziristan.

We are told that if we do not strike Syria — making good on Obama’s threats — Israel, Turkey and even Japan and South Korea will not be able to trust us ever again.

What nonsense. We have treaties with Japan and South Korea. As for Turkey and Israel, if what is happening in Syria is outrageous and dangerous, why do they not act?

Why do they keep tugging at our sleeve?

The Israeli Air force is five minutes from Damascus, its army a two-day march. The Turks have three times Syria’s population and a 400,000-man army equipped with NATO weapons. Together, they could invade and turn the tide in a week. Why do they not man up?

McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham came out of the Oval Office saying Obama was open to wider strikes on Syria and more lethal support for the rebels. As Iran, Hezbollah and Russia would then upgrade their own weapons shipments to Damascus, this will mean more dead, more wounded, more tens of thousands fleeing into exile and a longer war.

But what it will likely end with, after America is dragooned in, is a U.S. war with Iran; our allies, sitting in their box seats, cheering us on.

And that is the dog you will not hear bark in the war-on-Syria debate.

LETTERS Huge disparity found in union wages is not sustainable model To The Daily Sun, Diana Lacey of Belmont, president of the state employees’ association of NH/SEIU Union, Local 1984 waxes unhappily regarding the compensation of labor in America. I have a Labor Day wish as well. Visionary union leaders to replace the incompetents that have led labor over a cliff for the past 50 years.

Some thoughts and observations: Samuel Gompers founded the American Federation of Labor (AFL) in 1886. Interestingly, he is buried within yards of one of the most successful business leaders of all time, Andrew Carnegie. Death silenced both men but that isn’t much of a solution to the deep differences that still exist between labor and management. If only both sides would simply stop trying to harm each other, every person in America would benefit.

American industry thrives. Businesses are more profitable than ever, but unions have struggled for a half century. Employers in the early 1900s lacked the foresight to provide basic benefits and proper safety for labor, a stain that remains on business to this day. Unions deserve full credit for for righting that wrong. Despite those victories, unions are a dying breed, with good reason. Union membership peaked in 1979 at 21 million or 34 percent of the workforce. Today, membership is about 11.4 million or 11.3 percent of the workforce.

Why the unending slide of almost 50 percent? Answer: the average wage of a union worker in 2012, including benefits, was $53,552. That number is $12,000 more than non-unionized workers. Government union workers earned an average $81,637. Is it any wonder government employees like those at the IRS want only to EXPAND GOVERNMENT payrolls.

Diana mentions selfish CEOS, lets talk about GREEDY, ARROGANT, government UNION employees always trying to stuff their pockets at tax payers expense. Their actions are just as egregious as anyone’s.

This huge disparity of wages is not a sustainable model, as has been proven over past decades. Union jobs with high wages put EVERY UNION job at RISK to be eliminated FIRST by every busi-

ness and business owner who now has to compete, not just locally and domestically but globally. Some union leaders FINALLY SEE IT. Richard Trumpka, president of the AFL-CIO said recently “ to be blunt our basic system of workforce representation is FAILING to meet the needs of Americas workforce by every measure”. In 1924, Gompers gave his most memorable speech saying “no lasting gain has ever come form COMPULSION”. Gompers believed labor should be inspired by “the spirit of service” in order for the movement to be respected and successful. Compare that thinking to the words of SEIU union president Mary Kay Henry last month: “ Our PRIMARY GOAL is to help workers BOOST WAGES”. That narrow objective is a universe away from Gompers lofty goals. For some incomprehensible reason, union people still think their jobs are safe. Despite the huge membership losses they have already sustained and the flood of machines, robots, computers and technology, let alone cheaper labor in other countries ready to REPLACE THEM. IF union leaders like Diana Lacey truly want to turn the tide on the fate of unions on this LABOR DAY, they will let Gompers words guide them. To uphold the “spirit of service”, unions could at long last help, not hinder employers to become more competitive while demanding work force retraining required to elevate labor skills. Unions have to stop defending poor labor performance when it occurs. They must embrace productivity, not obstruct it, to the advantage of both sides. Simply demanding higher wages will only result in further DECLINING UNION MEMBERSHIP and fewer people who respect what unions stand for. Gompers had it DEAD RIGHT. Recent rabble-rousing by paid SEIU workers demanding a DOUBLING of wages for McDonald’s employees to $15 is the PERFECT EXAMPLE of how UNIONS KILL JOBS. Not only does higher wages with no increased output harm buying power, it eliminates the DOLLAR item MENU. The children’s “Happy Meal “ becomes the “UNHAPPY meal “ at $10 instead of $5, with millions FEWER BOUGHT. see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 5, 2013 — Page 5

LETTERS America desperately needs credible conservative opposition To The Daily Sun, In a recent letter to this forum, Mr. Wiles lamented that the GOP has not “revealed a bold breath-taking economic plan” and has not gone on the “offensive.” In my view, the reason for this is that the Republican Party is lacking leadership and that it is waging war within itself.

The problem is the ever-worsening ideological extremism that has captured the party. The influence of the Tea Party and the religious far right has essentially split the GOP organization. There is a divide between those who think moderates are not conservative enough and those who think radicals are not inclusive enough.

The radicals believe in a brand of invalidation. They seek to invalidate the legitimacy of Obama’s two election victories, some tried to invalidate the president’s Americanism. They seek to invalidate a health care law that was passed in Congress and signed by the president and that they lack the support to repeal. They seek to invalidate climate change by claiming it doesn’t exist. Many radicals would invalidate science itself when data and facts contradict their theology-like ideology.

Republican moderates believe the GOP should be a broad national party, reaching to diverse constituencies, taking positions Republicans have historically taken such as openness to immigration, significant health care reform, civil rights and voting rights, support of collective bargaining and protection of the environment. Radicals believe that these views by the moderates would lead the GOP in ways that would destroy their narrow vision of America.

Wiles, Earle and others of the farright need to stop talking to themselves. They have become expert in how to provide ideological reinforcement to like-minded people, but devastatingly have lost the ability to be persuasive with, or welcoming to, those who do not agree with them

on every issue. It’s apparent that Mr. Wiles has strong political views, and while I can admire his strong opinions, his admonishment not to “move toward a more moderate approach” will disadvantage the Republican Party and strengthen the resolve of liberal Democrats. With this arrogant all or nothing attitude, he and other like-minded extremists will be witnessing Hillary being sworn in as our 45th President.

Our nation needs a strong conservative Republican Party, but what we’ve been witnessing in recent years is a dangerous shift to the far right. Moderate Republicans and independent voters see the party as out of touch with the electorate and determined to maintain a strangle hold on the country in a backwards, unprogressive way. In large part, these voters agree with the party on its nominally austere fiscal policy, but they are also socially liberal. Issues such as gay marriage, abortion, health care, and international cooperation force them to turn to the Democratic Party, and even there they may not find what they’re hoping for.

Moderate conservatives must retake the Republican Party from the extremists. America desperately needs a serious, thoughtful, credible 21st-century “conservative” opposition to “liberal” views and actions.

They must organize, reassess, and recognize the need to evolve on social issues if they are going to connect with the electorate.

As a nation, we are not going to make any progress on our biggest problems without compromise between the center-right and the center-left. But for this to happen, we need the centerright conservatives, not the extremists to be running the GOP. Unless the GOP can distinguish who their real enemy is, they just might be on the road to finishing off what is left of the Grand Ol’ Party.

Moultonborough selectmen should take a lesson from Meredith To The Daily Sun, The recent decision by the Moultonborough Board of Selectmen to hold a hearing for the removal of two Planning Board members pursuant to RSA 673:13 as a result of their alleged “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance” is badly misplaced. The Legislature in enacting this statute intended it for substantial malfeasance or misfeasance, but not for a vote the Board of Selectmen did not agree with, which is the apparent reason for this action.

The Moultonborough Board of Selectmen should take a lesson from the Meredith Board of Selectmen,

which when they were unhappy about a decision made by their Zoning Board (regarding the Foundry Avenue Realty Trust’s application for a variance), the SelectBoard filed a timely appeal to the Superior Court, which ultimately remanded the matter back to the Zoning Board due to errors made by that board.

The actions of the Moultonborough Board of Selectmen in attempting remove Planning Board members for their votes will do nothing to rectify real or perceived deficiencies insofar as the Planning Board decision is concerned.

LETTERS Personally, on Syria, I think we should do absolutely nothing To The Daily Sun, Well now that Secretary of State Kerry has confirmed for us that poison gas has been used in Syria, what next?

I read meetings have been taking place in the White House and military resources are “in place” so it seems it’s just a matter of time now. Heck, Obama can’t back down now after drawing a “red line” in the sand, but what will he do we all want to know?

Personally I think we should do nothing. That’s right, nothing. Tell the U.N. to deal with it; tell the Arab League it’s there problem; too bad because we have no dog in this fight.

Nether side is a friend to the U.S.; nether side would show any gratitude for our intervention; fact is, both sides would kill us if they could, so let them kill each other. But we can be pretty sure that’s not going to happen because Obama shot off his big mouth and to back down now makes him look weak, dumb, (put the descriptive word of choice here).

If anything must be done then that one thing should be to destroy the

Syrian Air Force. That is likely to cause us some casualties but Obama has spoken. Perhaps Congress will step up and override him for once but don’t hold your breath. Democrats were very vocal in opposition to the war with Iraq after first authorizing Bush to use force there, so I wonder if they will stand by their ideals now?

Really though will it matter? Obama has shown little regard for Congress or the court when they fail to side with his agenda in the past so what would be different now? As Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces he could give any orders he deems fit despite what Congress says, the nation thinks or anything else. Though I doubt it will come down to that because there would be a political price to pay. Yet still so far the main stream media has given the president cover over gun running, Benghazi, the IRS and eavesdropping on America so far, so why should he worry now? It’s us who have to worry.

LETTERS Socialism remains gold standard for the U.S. mainstream media To The Daily Sun, “Viva la revolucion” is the war cry of progressive Marxists around the world. “Che” remains such a famous and heralded freedom fighter that his last name need not be mentioned.

His infamy as a mass murderer exists only for those who haven’t been deluded by the cultural left and the academic elitists. Albert Korda’s iconic photograph entitled Guerrillero Herico is still found on t-shirts from impressionable college students to Carlos Santana. Charles Jacobs and Ilya Feoktistov from Americans for Peace and Tolerance claim this fantasy belief is one way for students to deal with their “white skin privilege” guilt. David Brooks’ book, “Bobos in Paradise” notes that it is a therapeutic way for middle class youth, living off the wealth of their parents and western capitalism in general, to deal with feeling trapped in what they believe to be an immorally privileged corner. Knowing the truth about this “Evil Ways” killer would not fit the narrative of the cultural left and would likely send those clueless youth in search of a “Black Magic Woman” to cure them of their romancing of the Marxist stone.

If our youth are looking for some truthfulness and clarity regarding history, the current leader of the free world, President Obama, is not the one to lead them to that hope and promise land. We all know he spent his formative years being adored by Marxist types from Frank Marshall Davis to his college professors. So we should not be surprised that our dear leader might wax nostalgic by wistfully asserting that “Ho” had been “inspired by the words of Thomas Jefferson.” Yes, he said this to the press after meeting with Vietnamese President Truong Tan Sang while noting that after 67 years, the United States and Vietnam were finally enjoying the

relationship that Ho once wrote of.

Rick Moran’s article about this tone deafness of Barack Obama is stunning when it is estimated that Ho Chi Minh, dictator of North Vietnam (1951-1969), used V.I. Lenin’s tactics of terror, torture and re-education while killing about half a million people in order to maintain and then increase his brutal, dictatorial power.

How many have forgotten or are not even aware of “Hanoi” Jane Fonda’s notorious trip to North Vietnam in July, 1972? Most notably were her radio broadcasts where she called American military leaders “war criminals”. And later maintained that our POW’s were hypocrites and liars.

Who has already forgotten our president’s former communications director, Anita Dunn? She of course was a flack for the crooked Tom Daschle and beloved wife of Obama’s thug lawyer Robert Bauer, according to Michelle Malkin. However, she is included in this letter for her enthusiasm of Mao Tse Tung, who she deemed to be one of her two favorite spiritual advisers. No matter that his dictatorship resulted in the death of some 40 to 70 million people through starvation, forced labor and executions. This likely puts him ahead of “Ho” and “Stalin” as the historical leader of democide. To Anita and thousands of other Lenin/Marxists, he was a visionary who inspired revolutions around the globe.

Since our progressive educators continue to proffer “Marxist/America is evil” lies to our impressionable youth, it makes perfect sense that they would take up the cause of Dzojar Tsnarayev. And this clueless movement began even before Rolling Stone magazine decided to put a romanticized picture of the Boston marathon bomber on their cover, making him look like a cross between Bob Dylan and Jim Morrison. “Light see next page

Surveillance photo quickly leads to mans arrest for burglary LACONIA — A Jackson Street man will face a judge in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division this morning after being charged with burglary and theft of a handgun.

Police said Henry A. Rogers, 40, of Jackson St. was taken into custody at his home yesterday morning and charged with breach of bail for failing to appear for a 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division appearance scheduled for July 15 for simple assault.

Lt. Rich Simmons said Rogers was taken to the Belknap County House of Correction because of the bench warrant and late yesterday afternoon police charged him with burglarizing the Opechee Trading Post in Laconia on August 30 and stealing a loaded handgun during the heist.

Although Rogers allegedly cut the wires to the store’s surveillance system and took the DVD cartridge, owner Jim Makris said Tuesday that camera specialists were still able to recover a photo of the person who burglarized his place.

Simmons said yesterday that numerous phone calls were made to the police and many of the officers recognized Rogers as the person who was allegedly in the trading post during the time of the burglary.

Police said it appeared Rogers first tried to enter the store on Lake Opechee through a front window and Henry A. Rogers eventually got into the build(Laconia Police photo) ing through a rear window.

Police said they recovered the gun in Rogers’ backyard.

He refused the services of a bail commissioner and is scheduled to appear by video in court this morning.

from preceding page many young woman who have found themselves yet one more “bad boy” to idolize and swoon over like moonbat, “Riders on the Storm”. The fact that he is a radicalized Muslim from a region in Russia known for Islamic terrorists, well all the better. Tsnarayev decries, “No, No, No, It Ain’t Me Babe” and the youth shed a tear and take to the streets with their “free Dzojar” signs like hypnotized “Rainy Day Women” .

Yes indeed, our “social justice”, re-educated youth have found another cause celeb to help wash away their ubiquitous white guilt so they may continue to indulge in their capitalist excesses with a clear conscience.

One can hardly blame them with so many mature role models guiding them. Yes, even the esteemed, ahem, United Nations are influencing their impressionable minds with the heartfelt message, “violence for social revolution is so very cool”. Why just last month, UNESCO, the so-called intellectual agency of the United Nations, authored a ceremony in Havana honoring Che Guevara by enshrining his writings in the “Memory of the World Register”. As reported by Humberto Fontova, not far from the cer-

emony, Cubans were being starved and beaten in torture chambers for quoting the UN Declaration of Human Rights in public. The regime being honored

by UNESCO was also nearby burning hundreds of books and documents in a manner that would make Joseph Goebbels swell with pride. On December 9, 1964, Che proudly exclaimed “certainly we execute”.

Executions had already reached 16,000 at that point. His speech was rather fittingly made while standing in the halls of the United Nations almost 50 years ago.

With prolific movie makers like Michael Moore and Oliver Stone praising the accomplishments of the now deceased Hugo Chavez, socialism remains the gold standard for Democrats/mainstream media, academia and the Hollywood elite. Meanwhile, capitalism remains all that is evil in the world. So goes the twisted, bizarro mind of modern day liberals who continue to somehow look reality in the face and ignore it. Who also look real evil in the eye and somehow find a way to glorify it.

Worsman asks that auditor’s summary report on county government be made public

By RogeR Amsden LACONIA — County Convention Chairperson Rep. Colette Worsman (R-Meredith) asked Belknap County Commissioners last night to make a so-called management letter which accompanied a financial audit report the commission recently received to be made public.

Worsman made the request following a review of the audit report by a representative of Melanson Heath and Company at a commission meeting last night at a which excerpts from the management letter were read and discussed briefly by commissioners.

County Administrator Debra Shackett said that it was her understanding that the letter should not be distributed publicly but would check to see if she was correct.

Worsman requested that the letter be available on the commission’s web site along with the audit report itself, which commissioners said would be posted online.

The Registry of Deeds office was mentioned in the management letter, which noted that internal monitoring of the office’s procedures had addressed some of the concerns raised in an audit report two years and that there were significant improvements.

But there was concern raised in the letter that the general ledger and accounts payable ledger of the office didn’t agree.

The commission brought legal action against elected Registrar Barbara Luther two years ago in an attempt to have her comply with recommendations made in a management letter which criticized three specific “material weaknesses” in the record keeping or handling of public funds.

The criticisms included the fact that at times a single individual controlled “all phases of a particular (financial) activity” and certain record keeping processes. The management letter did not allege or imply any actual wrongdoing by the registry staff but dealt with improving procedures in keeping with modern accounting standards.

When the parties and registrar could not agree on system changes to address the criticisms, the commissioners brought the lawsuit in October of 2011 asking the Belknap County Superior Court to “order the (Registry) to conform with the recommendations of the management letter.”

Extensive negotiations ensued in August of 2012 and a statement released to the media from the county announced that the agreement between the two parties had been reached. The agreement allowed the existing checking account used by the Register of Deeds to be continued and requires that any checks or withdrawals from that account be signed by the Register of Deeds and the Belknap County Treasurer.

It also established procedures for the daily han-

dling of payments and operations at the office.

Commissioners said at the time that the settlement was consistent with recommended best accounting practices and removed a negative comment from the county audit.

Luther, who was represented by attorney Philip McLaughlin in the negotiations, has since asked the county to pay the $ 5,500 legal bill she incurred, but commissioners have so far refused to pay, despite the County Convention including a line item in the budget that it passed this year for $5,500 to pay Luther’s bill.

Worsman also requested, speaking, she said, as a taxpayer of Meredith, that the commissioners see that no one who was an employee of the county be a part of the team negotiating contracts with representatives of the unions representing county employees.

She said that the contracts which are negotiated also affect those who are not union members and that she didn’t think any of those doing the negotiating for the county should be employees of the county because they would be in a position to benefit from the contracts they negotiated.

County Commission Chairman John Thomas said that the request was ‘’contrary to whatever I’ve seen’’ and noted that department heads, who are paid by the county, have routinely been part of contract negotiations on behalf of the county.

SUICIDE from page one “He took the coward’s way out,” said Elsie Cintron, who lived up the street from the former school bus driver. “We’re sad to hear that he’s dead, but at the same time, we’re happy he’s gone, and now we know he can’t ask for an appeal or try for one if he’s acting like he’s crazy.”

As the shocking news sank in, prison officials faced questions about how a high-profile inmate managed to commit suicide while in protective custody. Just a

month ago, an Ohio death row inmate killed himself days before he was to be executed.

Ohio prisons director Gary Mohr announced a review of Castro’s suicide and whether he had received proper medical and mental health care.

State police are also investigating.

The announcement came after the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio called for a full investigation.

“As horrifying as Mr. Castro’s crimes may be, the

state has a responsibility to ensure his safety from himself and others,” executive director Christine Link said.

Through a spokeswoman, Castro’s three victims declined to comment.

Castro was sentenced Aug. 1 to life in prison plus 1,000 years after pleading guilty to 937 counts, including kidnapping and rape, in a deal to avoid the death penalty. At his sentencing, he told the judge: “I’m not a monster. I’m sick.”

CONCESSIONS from page one Rod Roy is the president of Laconia Youth Football. Yesterday he said he also thought the Kiwanis Club of Laconia — the sponsoring organization of the community-service oriented Key Club — was aware of the decision but had no idea who was designated to tell them.

“My understand was that the Key Club was going to get the other stuff, including hosting the soccer match this year,” Roy said.

The New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association has chosen Laconia as one of the hosts for this year’s soccer playoffs.

He also said he wasn’t privy to any discussions between the school administration, the Key Club advisers or the Kiwanis Club, whose members made their displeasure over the students loosing concession stand rights known to the School Board Tuesday night. They claimed that school officials had been stringing them along for months, saying a final decision on who operate the concession stand had not yet been made.

Kiwanians told the board the Key Club’s association with football game concessions dates back six decades.

Roy said the building that housed the conces-

sion stand at the old football field was built three years ago by Laconia Youth Football and volunteer labor from the Bean family of Gilford. All of the equipment, including a grill, three Fry-O-Laters. a popcorn machine and refrigeration units, was purchased by Laconia Youth Football.

He said that for the three years after the newer concession stand was built, but before the Bank of New Hampshire Stadium project was on the city’s radar, Laconia Youth Football shared the space and split the cost of supplies and the revenue with the Key Club. He also said the space-sharing agreement was arranged by former Principal Steve Beals, who told Roy he was reluctant to give the concession stand rights solely to Laconia Youth Football.

When asked why the joint relationship didn’t work, Roy said in his opinion the two agencies had different missions — Laconia Youth Football needs money to support its program and the Key Club is more about civic participation and less about money.

Roy said Laconia Youth Football is one of the smaller youth football programs in the state and needs to be All events start & finish at able to offer scholarships to the boys who want to play but can’t afford the $100 annual per child 827 North Main St, Laconia, NH registration fee.

Man’s second-career dream comes true with opening of ‘Jilly’s Bistro’ sports bar at Lakeport Square

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Dave Perry, proprietor and chef at Jilly’s Bistro, can trace the opening of the city’s newest eatery back to an unhappy event that occurred in 2007: an accident that ended his career as a construction worker.

“I had a tree fall on top of me,” he said, grimacing.

Injuries from the incident required him to hang up his tools for several years while his body healed from both the accident and the several surgeries aimed at relieving the discomfort which he still experiences.

However, Perry, who served in the U.S. Army during the Operation Desert Storm, wasn’t content with life in a recliner. “I started dabbling in some courses at Lakes Region Community College, next thing I know, I started on my path to getting my degree in culinary arts.”

A native of Lowell, Mass. who moved to Ossipee about a decade ago, Perry signed up for a cooking from preceding page ments at a meeting in the Media Room of the High School about six months ago.

“I don’t recall specifically who was at the meeting but I know (School Board Chair Joe) Cormier was there,” he said.

At Tuesday night’s School Board meeting, Cormier said he didn’t recall who made the decision but said Champlin was empowered to make the decision himself.

class on a whim. He was shocked by how much he enjoyed the program. “To me, it was more like hanging out and having fun everyday than like going to school... The staff there is just awesome.”

“I really didn’t think that I would end up hanging around long enough to get my degree,” continued Perry. “I was constantly amazed at what I was learning, how much there really is to know, how much is involved in this industry.”

While Perry was sharpening his culinary skills, his father happened to pass through Lakeport Square and noticed that the building at 777 Union Avenue was for sale. He decided the price was too good to pass, and so he purchased the property. The building had once been a five and dime store, more recently was an antique shop, and was not ready to be a restaurant when Perry first set foot inside.

Since 2008, Perry and his friends from his construction days have been effecting a transformation to what it is now. The polished floorboards and tin ceiling hint at the building’s history but Perry’s hard work is evident elsewhere. The result is a Bostonthemed sports bar, one that Perry said reminds him of his favorite haunts of his younger days.

“When I first started, I really didn’t know what I wanted it to be,” said Perry. He had spent hours upon hours traveling through Laconia, collecting menus and tallying the various types of eateries nearby. He had interned under chef Scott Ouellette at Canoe in Center Harbor, and with Oullette’s O Steak and Seasee next page

Scotia Technology on solid growth path, expects to add as many as a dozen skilled workers over next 2 years LACONIA — Scotia Technology, in the heart of the Lakes Region, was established in 1979 by Don and Gail Brewer, and run by just a handful of employees.

Powered by annual sales that have doubled since 2005, the Laconia company, which produces rigid tube assemblies for the commercial and military aerospace industries, has expanded its workforce.

Though it now employs 50 people, it values and has retained a “family” type working atmosphere.

In 2006, Scotia was purchased by Gemini Investors and in 2010 the business relocated to a modern 48,000 square foot facility.

Today, we meet Rick Furbush, operations manager of Scotia Technology.

Q: Describe a product you manufacture and the effect it has on consumers’ lives.

A: Tube assemblies made by Scotia carry a variety of media such as oil, fuel, oxygen, water and fire suppression materials. Scotia’s tubes are found everywhere from commercial airliners to underwater defense missile systems and satellites.

Every part produced at Scotia Technology has a great and often vital effect on the public and the world.

Scotia’s tubes are built into Patriot missiles, which are deployed internationally to protect our allies from threats. Tubes we manufacture are used in commercial airliners and help provide oxygen and fire suppression in the event of an accident. They operate flaps, landing gear, flight control, and help make sure every flight takes off and lands safely. Our tubes are in heavy military transport aircraft such as the C-17, to help provide support to our troops overseas and to airdrop food and aid during humanitarian missions.

Q: What does the future have in store for the Scotia workforce?

A: Scotia is on a steady path of planned annual growth, and we anticipate hiring up to 12 new employees in the 2014-15 time frame.

While Scotia has a fairly strong labor pool to pull from, there are certainly challenges when it comes to finding workers who possess very specific skill sets, such as strong math skills for tube bending or the steady hand-eye coordination it takes to become a certified aerospace TIG welder.

Tubular assemblies are a niche market and it is more challenging to find employees/operators who have a background in such manufacturing.

Q: How have you partnered with Lakes Region Community College to help build the workforce?

A: It is Scotia’s goal to keep advanced manufacturing relevant in the state, to increase general awareness to the importance of manufacturing and the benefits of such jobs on the state and local Below, the Scotia Technology plant in Laconia.

economies.

Strong relationships with the local community college, technical schools, trade schools and local high schools are key in developing the future labor force for manufacturing in New Hampshire.

The relationship is mutually beneficial as companies like Scotia can introduce ideas and create interest in the manufacturing sector, while schools such as the Lakes Region Community College are able to properly educate and build the foundation that will lead to knowledgeable future employees, who will go on to gain experience and perhaps start up business of their own.

Q: Who should choose a career in advanced manufacturing in New Hampshire?

A: Scotia Technology believes individuals who are hands-on, possess strong problem-solving skills with drive and motivation to create, and have the willingness to learn as well as offer new ideas should consider a career in advanced manufacturing.

Laconia man will not be prosecuted for hunting down & fighting alleged burglar at Court St. store

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A Center Street man who chased down an alleged burglar who had been in his home had a single count of disorderly conduct placed “on file” in District Court Tuesday.

Michael Gallos, 36, agreed to pay the Cumberland Farms convenience store on Court Street $99.95 for the sun glass display that got broken during his May 14 scuffle with Matthew Andrews, 25, of Sargent Street in Gilford.

Andrews has since been charged with burglary.

According to police reports at the time, Gallos and his wife were at a local sporting event and his 15-year-old niece was home alone. She had left the door open so her younger brother, who was playing outside, could get into the house while she was in her upstairs bedroom.

The girl heard a noise from the kitchen and thought it was her brother. She told police she came down the stairs to yell at him for making so much noise.

Instead, she came face to face with Andrews who told her he was a friend of her uncle’s (Gallos) and had permission to be in the house. Andrews left immediately after offering his explanation.

Gallos and his wife returned home within minutes and when his niece described Andrews to him, Gallos said he knew who he was and tracked him down at the convenience store, where the two fought.

Gallos was originally charged with disorderly conduct, simple assault, criminal threatening and criminal mischief. Laconia Police Prosecutor Jim Sawyer didn’t prosecute the assault, the criminal threatening or the criminal mischief charges.

Placing the disorderly conduct charge “on file” for six months means that as long as Gallos has no criminal contact with police for six months the charge will be dropped.

After Tuesday’s resolution, Gallos said he was grateful to the police, attorney Ted Barnes, and the court for exonerating him and said he wanted to thank his friends and family for being so supportive. from preceding page food restaurant, he knew he didn’t want to compete in the fine dining arena. He knew he wanted a hardwood bar in the center of the dining room, though, and it was when he was working on that project that his vision began to take shape. “It got me thinking of places I went to growing up in Lowell, the sports bars there, things I really enjoyed.”

The menu he created matches the venue: onion rings, wings, steak and cheese subs. There’s some signature touches, too. Perry was stationed in New Orleans for part of his military service, and his muffaletta sandwich and deep-fried pickles came back with him. He expects his hamburger, featuring a patty of chuck mixed with brisket, will become a favorite on his menu. Sandwiches are served with house-made potato chips. At Jilly’s, Perry thinks he’s offering something that didn’t previously exist, a neighborhood spot for a sandwich and a ball game. “I wanted people to feel like they could afford to come in here, watch a game, eat some bar food... It’s bluecollar, that’s what I like about it. It’s not anything fancy, especially with the way the economy is. I want people to be able to stop in and eat with their kids.”

Jilly’s Bistro, which Perry named after his sister, is open Thursday through Monday, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Vote in the Primary Election on Tues., Sept. 10

Paid for by Edward J. Engler

Page 14 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 5, 2013

ENGLER from page one Laconia Daily Sun, grew up in Ipswich, South Dakota, and graduated with a degree in journalism from the University of Texas. After a brief stint in advertising, he has worked in the newspaper business for 36 years, the last 27 of them in New Hampshire, where he has worked as a co-owner of The Daily Sun since the first edition appeared on June 5, 2000.

Engler finds the city’s shrinking and aging population “very alarming,” explaining “it’s not so much the total population, but more alarming is the rapid decline of the school population, which signals a lack of younger families and prosperity.”

“City government must play a more activist role in economic development,” Engler said. “We can’t sit around and wait for private developers to turn things around.” He described Laconia’s position as the county seat and commercial hub as analogous to a suburban situation. “Most people are not aware that Shaw’s, Lowe’s, Hannaford’s and the Belknap Mall are not in Laconia,” he said, “there is an invisi-

ble line. But when it comes to collecting property taxes it’s very visible. We’re not only competing with other states and countries,” he continued.

“We’re competing against our neighboring communities, which makes it very challenging.”

A director of the Belknap Economic Development Council, Engler envisions redevelopment as a cumulaEd Engler tive process. “If positive steps (file photo) are made in targeted areas, the residual effects will be felt in other parts of the city.” But, he emphasized, the process must begin with consensus.

“The bigger picture is that we as a community have to decide what we want downtown to be,” Engler said, adding that city government must play an active role in reaching consensus. “It’s about the

place and what we want it to be more than about the people and businesses that happen to be there,” he said. “Redevelopment is for the city, for all of us.

If redevelopment happens to help businesses, all the better, but that’s not the aim.”

Once consensus is reached and goals are set, Engler suggested they should serve as filters for proposals and projects. “If a proposal furthers the goal, we should encourage it and if it doesn’t we should discourage it,” he said. For instance, he said that the prospect of Genesis Behavioral Health operating a residential treatment center for the mentally ill at its property on Church Street raises the question, “What do we want downtown to be? It would be of concern to me,” he allowed, “but that conversation needs to be had.”

Engler said that tax increment financing (TIF) offered an effective means of making significant investments in public infrastructure required to support redevelopment. However, he cautioned against speculative building. “I’m very leery of ‘build it and they will come’,” he said. Instead, he said that he would prefer to work in partnership with a private developer to pursue projects in which public investment was contingent on private investment.

At the same time, Engler said that TIF funds could be applied to projects like the construction of the WOW Trail and the restoration of Weirs Beach.

“I’m a big supporter of the WOW Trail,” he said, “but I find the relationship between the WOW Trail organization and the city “confusing and unusual.

It makes little sense to me the way it is currently configured.” The city holds the lease on the railroad right-of-way that the trail follows and once complete the trail becomes a city park, Engler said. “If it is a city park,” he continued, “then we should treat it as such by investing in its construction and maintenance. It’s either a city park or it isn’t.” Likewise, he insisted that Weirs Beach is a city park and if restoration is feasible, the city should fund it.

Noting that the federal grant that funded four additional firefighters for two years will expire in two years, Engler said that “it is way too early to make a judgment about whether to retain them at a cost of more than $300,000 a year.” He said that Chief Ken Erickson told the City Council that adding one firefighter to each shift would help mitigate the cost of overtime, which has been a source of concern to councilors for some time. He said that after an appropriate time the impact of increased staffing on overtime can be measured to provide the basis for a decision. “If there is no significant effect,” Engler said, “the decision will be much harder. And we’re also looking at $4-million to expand and renovate Central Station.”

Engler said that although “I have no philosophical objection to Pay-As-You-Throw, the mandatory recycling program should be given every opportunity to succeed.” At the same time, he remarked that “as a business owner I understand that it is appalling see next page from preceding page provision calling for “decisive changes to the present military balance of power on the ground in Syria.”

At their urging, the measure was also changed to state that the policy of the United States is “to change the momentum on the battlefield in Syria so as to create favorable conditions for a negotiated settlement that ends the conflict and leads to a democratic government in Syria.” McCain, who has long accused Obama of timidity in Syria, argued that Assad will be willing to participate in diplomatic negotiations only if he believes he is going to lose the civil war he has been fighting for over two years.

The changes were enough to attract bipartisan support, but political fault lines were clear on a military action that polls show a war-weary public opposes.

Seven Democrats and three Republicans supported the measure, while two Democrats and five Republicans opposed. Among Republicans, opposition came from lawmakers with the closest ties to tea party activists, including Paul and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, both presidential aspirants.

Among Democrats, Kerry’s replacement in the Senate, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., voted “present”

Gilmanton officers fend off attacking German shepherd GILMANTON — Two police officers escaped injury over the weekend after a man in distress sicced his German shepherd on them.

Chief Joe Collins said Officer Chris Gustafson was able to fend the dog off with his night stick and eventually the animal retreated.

Collins said Gustafson and Officer Corey Brennan responded to the home that is in the Sawyer Lake area at 5:35 p.m. Friday for a call for an attempted suicide.

When they arrived, Collins said the home owner initially came out of his house and began yelling at the police and telling them to get off his property.

When police told them they were only there to make sure he was okay, they said he sicced his dog

on them.

When the dog retreated, the man picked up a shovel and headed toward police.

One of the officers zapped the man with a Taser gun and police were able to gain control of him. He was taken to the Lakes Region General Hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

Collins said the man won’t be criminally charged and he is not releasing his name or address because of the reason police responded.

“Fortunately neither officer was injured and we are hopeful the man will get the care he needs,” Collins said.

STABBINGS from page 2 gang related.”

Two victims were hospitalized with minor injuries. A third, identified only as a 16-year-old, was in surgery. No other information was available on the teenager who was killed.

Garcia said a “cutting instrument” was used in the attack but offered no details.

Some parents said the fight was the continuation of a disturbance that broke out Tuesday. Officials at the school, which has about 3,500 students, would not confirm their comments.

“Every parent sends their child to school believing school should be one of those safe haven places,” Spring Independent School District Superinten-

dent Ralph Draper said. “This is what we spend our nights and days working toward and what I lose sleep over.

“In my nearly 30-year career, this is the one thing you pray never to experience.”

Parent Tara Campbell said she received text messages from her daughter about the fight and that her daughter said students who witnessed the episode snapped cellphone photos of the victims as they lay on the ground.

Campbell said she intended to have her daughter homeschooled, saying she’s grown tired of fights at the school.

“Last year there were gang fights consistently,” she said. “This is ridiculous. This is an ongoing situation.”

from preceding page on the face of it to spend so much money burning trash when it could be avoided. It’s just bad business.” More important, he said that the current city budget is balanced on the assumption that disposal costs will be reduced by a specific amount. “If we’re nowhere near the necessary savings,” Engler said, “the City Council will face a difficult choice sooner rather than later.” He added that he believes for the mandatory recycling program to succeed, recyclables must be collected every week, not every other week.

Engler said that he could not anticipate either excluding the county tax from the tax cap or overriding the tax cap to offset an increase in the county assessment. “I’m a big supporter of the tax cap,” he declared. “It takes away the ‘oh, well factor’, meaning ‘oh,well’ it’s not our fault, it’s beyond our control. It eliminates that response to anything,” he explained, “and makes government focus on priorities.”

Engler said that since the tax cap was introduced in

2005 successive city councils have made adjustments to comply with it with “not a hint of overriding it.”

The most important job of the mayor, Engler believes, is “presiding over the City Council in every sense of the word. It’s overlooked and difficult, but must be done fairly and competently, and not just during meetings,” he said.

Engler is in a three-cornered contest to succeed Mike Seymour, who retired after serving two terms as mayor, with former city councilor and state representative Bob Luther and political newcomer Khaleif Mitchell. The two top vote getters in the primary election on Tuesday, Sept. 10, will square off in the general election in November.

(Editor’s Note: All three mayoral candidates are being asked the same set of dozen questions at interviews providing the information for profiles of each to be published before Tuesday’s primary.)

Red Sox slug 8 homers in 20-4 beatdown of Detroit; Big Papi goes deep 2X BOSTON (AP) — David Ortiz hit two of Boston’s eight homers and also doubled for his 2,000th career hit on Wednesday night to lead the Red Sox to a 20-4 romp over the Detroit Tigers.

Will Middlebrooks hit a grand slam, Ortiz had an RBI double to reach the milestone and Daniel Nava added a two-run homer when Boston pulled away with an eight-run sixth inning.

Ortiz homered again in the five-run seventh — the 427th of his career to move past Billy Williams and into 47th on baseball’s all-time home run list.

AL East-leading Boston has won nine of 11, taking two out of three from the Central-leading Tigers to hold onto the best record in the league. But after scores of 3-0 and 2-1 in the first two games of the series, the Red Sox burst out with a franchise record-tying eight homers and a season-high 20 runs.

Jacoby Ellsbury, Stephen Drew, Mike Napoli and Ryan Lavarnway also homered for the Red Sox. Ryan Dempster (8-9) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks in six innings, striking out seven to win his second straight start since he was suspended for five games for intentionally hitting New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez.

The Red Sox open a four-game series with the Yankees in New York on Thursday night.

Rick Porcello (11-8) gave up nine runs — eight of them earned — on seven hits and four walks in five-plus innings.

Ortiz homered in the fourth to tie the game 4-all, then added an RBI double in the sixth for hit No. 2,000.

He waved his batting helmet as he stood on second base while the crowd cheered and home plate umpire Jeff Kellogg helped the Red Sox dugout

retrieve the ball.

Ortiz homered the next time up, prompting another standing ovation from the crowd at Fenway Park. The fans remained on their feet until he popped out of the dugout for a curtain call.

Prince Fielder homered for the Tigers, who were without Miguel Cabrera for the third time in four games with a strained abdominal muscle. A reigning triple crown winner, Cabrera leads the majors again with a .355 average with 130 RBIs and is four behind Baltimore’s Chris Davis with 43 homers.

Detroit shortstop Jose Iglesias, who was acquired from Boston at the trading deadline, left in the fifth inning with pain in his shins.

Shane Victorino singled with one out in the fifth, stole second and took third when catcher Alex Avila threw the ball into center field. On the 11th pitch of his at-bat, Dustin Pedroia hit a sinking line drive that left fielder Andy Dirks caught just off the grass but he could not keep Victorino from tagging up and scoring to make it 5-4.

The Red Sox blew it open with eight in the sixth thanks to a bases-loaded walk, two homers and Ortiz’s double.

They added two more in the eighth to make it 20-4.

NOTES: The only other time the Red Sox have hit eight homers in a game was July 4, 1977, against Toronto at Fenway Park. ... Nava has reached base safely in 39 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the majors. ... The Chicago Cubs, run by former Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein, claimed former Red Sox reliever Daniel Bard off waivers. ... Boston manager John Farrell said Clay Buchholz’s wife gave birth to a daughter.

FORRESTER from page one fidence Senator Morse placed in me to head the Finance Committee,” Forrester said yesterday.

Senator Lou D’Allesandro (D-Manchester) was named vice-chairman. Forrester said that she and D’Allesandro worked well together throughout the budget process earlier this year and anticipated their successful relationship would continue.

In a prepared statement, Morse said that he had worked closely with both senators during the last two budget cycles. “I have complete confidence in their understanding of the intricacies of the budget, as well as their ability to oversee the implementation of this fiscal spending plan going forward,” he said.

Morse recalled that the Legislature worked across party lines to prepare and adopt the 2014-2015 budget. “I know Senators Forrester and D’Allesandro will work well with Governor Hassan and our executive branch agencies to ensure our spending targets are met.” Managing the state budget, he continued, provided the foundation for a sound economy.

Harrell Kirstein, spokesman for the New Hampshire Democratic Party, immediately charged that by appointing Forrester, Morse began his presidency by “starting down the same ethically questionable road that

ended Peter Bragdon’s.”

Earlier Kirstein charged charged that Bragdon, who resigned the Senate presidency to become executive director of the Local Government Center (LGC), appointed Forrester to a committee studying the LGC and the statute governing the management of insurance risk pools, knowing that was in line for the job, which pays $180,000. Claiming the appointment to the study committee breached the Ethics Guidelines of the General Court, Kirstein alleges that Forrester lied when she denied she was not aware of Bragdon’s interest in the position when she accepted the committee assignment.

Yesterday Kirstein issued a statement insinuating that Forrester’s appointment to chair the Finance Committee was a reward for her part in helping Bragdon secure the job.

Bragdon has insisted that he decided to name Forrester to the study committee on July 5, when the bill creating it crossed his desk for his signature and almost a week before his initial conversation with the LGC on July 11. Later on July 16, documents record a conversation in which Bragdon told Forrester of his interest in the position. She encouraged him and offered to provide a reference.

NEW HAMPTON — Craig Dean Zamzow, 70 of Mountain Vista Drive, died August 31, 2013, at Speare Memorial Hospital, in Plymouth, NH. Born in Grand Island NE on June 8, 1943, he was the son of Harlan Francis and Theda W. (Linderkamp) Zamzow. He grew up in the Mid-West and graduated from Westside High School, inn Grand Island. He also earned a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering, at Iowa State University, in the mid1960s, Craig hired into Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) in Maynard, Massachusetts, where he served for twenty years as a sales engineer, corporate manager of sales training, and product line manager of Logic Products, a $25 million PC board business. His achievements led to his being named in 1983 the Corporate Manager, Marketing Programs, directing the efforts of over 5,000 employees. Along the way, Craig earned an MBA in marketing and human resource management from Rivier College in Nashua, NH. After the collapse of DEC, Craig served in marketing roles with several other firms in New England, before coming to Plymouth, New Hampshire in 1997 as co-owner of The Pilgrim Motel and Cabins on the Daniel Webster Highway. Very soon thereafter he was recruited by Plymouth State University to teach some marketing courses, first as an adjunct professor, and then as a full-time lecturer. In 1998, he accepted the job of Director of the Small Business Institute® at PSU, which serves the local business community with teams of MBA students who act as consultants, helping the businesses in whatever needs they may have, and preparing formal consulting reports.

Craig excelled as an SBI Director.

The Small Business Institute® Directors’ Association (SBIDA) holds an annual national contest, wherein the consulting reports from 250 university programs are judged at undergraduate and graduate levels in three categories, comprehensive (multifunctional business analyses), specialized (addressing a single business function, such as marketing, finance, or production), and feasibility studies (start-up plans). During his fifteen years as PSU’s SBI Director, Plymouth State MBA teams placed either first or second in every single year, nationally. In one year, they swept the three first place awards, and

PSU’s SBI was recognized as the top SBI program in the United States. At his last national conference, in 2013, Craig was named the first Fellow of the Small Business Institute®.

In 2003, Craig also became Director of Graduate Programs in the PSU College of Business Administration (CoBA). As director, he administered the budgets, course schedules, and enrollments, and served as the academic adviser to as many as 600 MBA students. He successfully reversed slumping enrollment numbers to double the size of the 40 year-old MBA Program, and to turn it into a respected, self-sustaining mainstay of CoBA. Craig Zamzow has been active in the community, as well, serviing on the boards of the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce, Plymouth Main Street, Inc., and the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative.

For the past ten years or more, Craig has worked to bring to life the brand new Enterprise Center at Plymouth, a joint effort by Plymouth State University and the Grafton County Economic Development Council. A conference room in this new business incubator building will be dedicated in honor of Craig Zamzow’s work.

Craig’s energy was boundless, his integrity unquestionable, and his enthusiasm infectious. Craig’s colleagues and students at PSU all will miss him. A fine gentleman has left us.

Craig is survived by his wife, Marica Litchfield Zamzow of New Hampton, son, Barry Zamzow and his wife Jessica and their children, Grace, Ella and Abby, son, Darren Zamzow and his wife Carroll and their children, Ben and Bodie, step-daughter, Alyson Tracy and her children Casey, Cody Gibbs, step-daughter Michelle Tracey and her children, Vanessa Tracey and Mason Smith, brother Stephen D. Zamzow and his wife Linda, nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held in the Plymouth United Congregational Church, UCC, Main St, Plymouth, on Saturday, Sept. 7th, at 11am. A balloon release and gathering will follow at Plymouth State University.

In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Craig D. Zamzow MBA Scholarship Fund, Plymouth State University Advancement Office, 17 High Street, MSC 50, Plymouth, NH 03264 To sign Craig’s Book of Memories, please go to www.mayhewfuneralhoems.com

OBITUARIES

Dinner Thu, Fri, Sat Nights FRIDAY NIGHTS AYCE FISH FRY!!!!!!!

Rachel E. Steele, 93 LACONIA — Rachel Elsa (Mills) Steele, 93, of 21 Ledges Drive, passed away at the Taylor Home in Laconia, on August 31,2013.

She was born at home in Fitchburg, MA, the second of four children (3 brothers one who died at 3 days of age) to Gilbert F. Mills Sr., and Elsa (Hertel) Mills.

Rachel was an excellent student throughout grammar and high school graduating from Fitchburg High School.

As a young girl, she always helped out with the family’s chickens, gardens, and cooking. She was also an avid Girl Scout.

She went to work at the age of eighteen at Doehla Greeting Card Company in Fitchburg, MA. There she met her husband Bill who was in the accounting department. “Rache” and Bill were married on June 3 1944, moving in with her parents due to the WWII housing shortage.

In 1954, the family now numbering six moved to Lunenburg, MA, into a rambling old colonial where the children were raised.

Rachel’s methods of relaxation included knitting, cross stitch, Bargello, reading, Crossword Puzzles, and playing Scrabble, Bridge, Cribbage, and Bingo.

The entire family skied together each weekend for many years. In the summer, there was a boat which was towed all over New England and New York exploring its many lakes and rivers. Thus began a lifelong love with the Granite State.

Once her youngest son was in high school, Rachel went to work as a teacher’s aide in the Lunenburg middle school.

Over the years, her children grew up and found their life partners. Rachel readily welcomed three new daughters and another son into her family.

Soon, grandchildren arrived expanding the family another eight members. Rachel and Bill were always available to babysit.

In 1963, Mom and Dad bought land in Meredith and erected a shell. With family members as their labor pool, a wonderful second home was finished for all to enjoy. Finally, a permanent retirement home

was created in the mid 80’s when they moved to the area full time. Rachel loved this house, boating on the big lake, and the community beach. She considered this to be her piece of heaven.

She was the most wonderful wife and mother, devoted to her family, a loyal friend to many, kind, strong and silent always helping those in need in her quiet and unassuming way. She taught her children the importance of family, how to be a good friend, and innumerable life skills.

Throughout her life she supported her beloved Bill and her children in numerous ways from home improvement projects, business ventures, and helping each time a new grandchild arrived. She was incredibly proud of all of the generations of her family and looked forward to their visits, pictures, travels, and learning about their successes.

Rachel was predeceased by her parents, her brothers, and her husband William G. Steele Sr. She is survived by her daughter Cheryl S. Cesati and her husband Richard of Sanbomton; her three sons, William G. Steele Jr., and his wife Sheila of Amherst, NH Robert B. Steele and his wife Roslyn of Danville, CA, Jeffrey G. Steele and his wife Suzanne of Deerfield, NH; her grandchildren who she held dear, Richard R. Cesati III and his wife Laurie, Julie Cesati and her husband Derek Davis and daughter Giavanna Davis, Andrew Cesati and his wife Allison, Kelly Reis and her husband Nicholas and daughter Lila, Meredith Bannon and her husband Chad, Mathew Steele and his wife Tifanie, and sons Cayden and Beckett, Courtney Steele, and Amanda Steele.

Private services and burial will be held at the convenience of the family.

Donations can be made to the Lakes Region Conservation Trust, PO Box 766, Center Harbor, NH 03226.

Arrangements are under the care of Mayhew Funeral Homes and Crematorium, Meredith and Plymouth.

David Sheldon, 89 ALTON BAY — David Sheldon, 89, of 1584 Mount Major Highway, passed away at the Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Laconia on Saturday, August 24, 2013. He was the widower of Marilyn (Carter) Sheldon who passed away on July 4, 2010.

Mr. Sheldon was born January 22, 1924 in Cambridge, MA, the son of Edward Parsons and Ruth (Teele) Sheldon. He was a longtime resident of Sudbury, MA from 1957 to 2010, before moving to Alton Bay 2½ years ago to live with his daughter Laurie until the time of his death.

Mr. Sheldon served in the U. S. Navy during World War II as an aircraft mechanic in the Asiatic Pacific Theater and was stationed on the Island of Saipan.

As a young man he was a very talented distance runner, cyclist, hiker and marksman. He loved spending weekends and vacations at the family summer home in the White Mountains of NH. David owned his own drapery hardware business for a number of years, before he went to work for a competitor until his retirement in 1989.

Survivors include his daughters, Laurie Sheldon Bemis and her husband Michael of Alton Bay, Bonnie

Lynn Schofield and her husband Bernard of Nottingham; six grandchildren, Erin Clark, Meredith Segit, Christina Schofield, David Mello, Daniel Bemis and Megan Bemis; and three great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife, Marilyn Carter Sheldon, his parents, Edward and Ruth Sheldon and his sister, Patricia Sheldon.

Bank of New Hampshire continues support of LFD’s Life-Saving Fund LACONIA — The Bank of New Hampshire recently gave the Laconia Fire Department a donation of $500 towards the Life Saving Fund.

The Life Saving Fund was created in 2003 by the Laconia Fire Department to help fund the then newly formed water rescue team. After losing Mark Miller, a fellow fire fighter, during a practice drill in 2004 it was decided to complete his dream of obtaining a rescue boat, an endeavor funded entirely with donations.

“Bank of New Hampshire was one of the original businesses to help get the fund started and has been an annual supporter ever since,” stated Laconia Fire Chief Ken Erickson. “As a result, we have the best equipped and trained water rescue team in the Lakes Region.”

Three years ago the Laconia Fire Department underwent extensive swift water rescue training. River rescues are almost as common as lake rescues; however they require very different skills and equipment.

Twenty-two of Laconia’s firefighters

are now certified to the Technician Level for swift water rescue and conducts refresher training every year.

The team now has two rescue boats in Lake Winnipesaukee – one at the Weirs dock and one in Paugus Bay adjacent to Irwin Marine.

The response to a water rescue emergency whether in deep open water, swift moving water, or an ice covered lake, presents a situation that is very dangerous and of a highly technical nature. Continual training to maintain efficiency and safety for both the responders and victims is crucial, as is having adequate and proper equipment to do the job quickly and successfully. Thanks to corporate sponsors and local donations, the Laconia Fire Department has been able to build an effective and safe Water Rescue Team without any substantial cost to the taxpayers of Laconia. Through these donations the Laconia Fire Department will be able to continue to offer this vital, specialized service to the residents and visitors of the Lakes Region.

GILFORD — Lakes Region Singers, the well-known community choral group that performs at First United Methodist Church on Route 11-A in Gilford, will kick off their fall concert season with a meeting of the advisory board on Monday, September 9.

This planning group – which consists of LRS director Karen Jordan and LRS members Mary Albert, Kelly Cleveland, Charlotte Cox, Lorraine Gebhardt, Paul Stickney, Betty Welch,

and Rachel Young – will meet to discuss ways to expand their impact on the community and their outreach to music lovers in the Lakes Region.

Jordan said, “Not only our membership but also our audience attendance have been booming during the past couple of years. And with the creation of our Youth Chorus, we have been broadening the age range of our musical appeal. Our advisory board continues to be helpful in offering new ideas and

new interests from the community.”

Rehearsals for the fall concert season will begin on Tuesday, September 17, a week earlier than in previous years, to accommodate the varied and challenging new musical program. The Youth Chorus (for young singers aged 6 to 13) will meet at 6:30 p.m. in the church, and the Adult Chorus will meet at 7:30 p.m. “We welcome anyone interested in performing good music, and we don’t require auditions,” said Jordan, “so if you know anyone who might like to join our groups, encourage them to come, or better yet, bring them along!”

There will again be two performances of the Christmas Concert, one on Friday, December 20, and another on Sunday, December 22. This year’s dynamic pro-

gram includes traditional pieces like “Carol of the Magi,” and “I Wonder As I Wander,” as well as fun arrangements of “Jingle Bells” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas.” The inspiring melody “Believe” from the recent movie Polar Express will be performed by both Youth and Adult Choruses together. Vocal soloists will be featured, along with cello, flute, and oboe accompaniments.

According to Jordan, “We are all excited to get singing again. If you plan to sing but can’t make the first rehearsal, just let me know so we can save a folder for you. This season could well result in our best concert ever.” For more, contact the director at 524-0835 or 998-8545, or kpj@jordanassociatesinc.com.

PET OF THE WEEK

JACK

Big, handsome, luxuriantly coated male seeks loving, forever home where he can enjoy all the comforts of a large sofa and lots of attention from his new family.

Jack, who may have some Swiss Mountain dog breeding – evidenced by his size and demeanor, has been staying at NHHS since April – while many have commented on what a calm, pleasant, gentle dog he is, none have stepped up to adopt him. Meanwhile, Jack has been active as a Therapy Dog, visiting nursing homes in the area to bring cheer to the elderly.

Spend some time with Jack, you will fall in love.

He hasn’t lived with young children, so we feel a home with those older than aged eight would be an appropriate placement. Cannot someone out there see what a wonderful companion he is and provide the thing he desires most… A Home.

LakeFest has new record to break after 2,099 raft on Michigan lake LACONIA — There’s an unofficial new Guinness World Record for LakeFest attendees to beat this Saturday, September 7, at Weirs Beach’s Endicott Rock Park in Laconia.

Over Labor Day weekend, Floatilla in Suttons Bay, MI logged 2,099 canoes and kayaks in their record-attempting raft. While that’s unlikely to be their final official count due to a banned powerboat in the float’s midst, organizers are increasing the LakeFest free floating raft goal – just to be sure.

LakeFest: Hands Across the Water is a familyfriendly educational and entertainment event highlighted by a Guinness World Record attempt for largest free floating raft of canoes and kayaks.

The NH Lakes Association (NH LAKES) now aims to get 2,100 canoes and kayaks into the waters of Lake Winnipesaukee to break the current official record of 1,902 boats (held by One Square Mile of Hope in NY) and possible new record of 2,099 canoes and kayaks set at Suttons Bay, MI over Labor Day

weekend.

Registration opens at 7 a.m. on Saturday, September 7, and the Guinness World Record raft attempt is at approximately 10 a.m. LakeFest attendees will launch from three official sites: boat ramp in downtown Meredith, Akwa Marina (pick-up location for all canoe and kayak rentals reserved online), and Weirs Beach (Endicott Rock Park).

Participants interested in paddling from Meredith Bay who need boat rentals can contact EKAL at 603.677.8646. Paddlers who pre-register for rentals at www. nhlakefest.org will pick up their canoe and kayak rentals at Awka Marina in Weirs Beach.

Event attendees who have their own canoes and kayaks can take advantage of early bird drop-off and check-in at Endicott Rock Park in Weirs Beach on Friday, September 6 from noon through 7 p.m.

The free on-land Festival opens midmorning on Saturday, September 7 and runs through 4 p.m. at Weirs Beach’s Endicott Rock Park.

Online registration to participate in the Guinness World Record attempt is available at www.nhlakefest.org for just $20 per canoe or kayak. Reasonably priced canoe and kayak rental options are available by pre-registering online by Fri. 9/6 at noon; reserved boats will be available for pick-up the morning of Saturday, September 7 at the Awka Marina launch site in Weirs Beach. All online registrants are automatically entered to win a bounty of great prizes and getaways provided by generous LakeFest supporters.

On land, the public is welcome to enjoy the free Festival that runs morning through 4 p.m. Attendees will hear a lineup of great live music; The O’Brien Clan Band and The Floods will delight listeners. Family-friendly activities include storytelling, LakeFest bingo, kayak limbo, and more.

There will be food vendors and educational exhibits, in addition to boats and other watersport gear for sale. Raffle tickets for a brand new 12’ Dirigo Old Town kayak with paddle and PFD will be available for just $5 each or 5 for $20 at NH LAKES’ tent in the Festival area.

From the syncopated heart of New Hampshire, the Tall Granite Jazz Band sound is a spirited homage to Chicago-style “Hot” jazz from the Roaring 1920s, into the Swing jazz of the ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s and even ‘70s. Their

influences range from King Oliver to Oliver Nelson, with stops at Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Hoagy Carmichael, Miles Davis, Cole Porter, Louis Jordan, Van Morrison, and even Hank Williams.

LACONIA — The Racky Thomas Blues Band will perform at Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia on Friday, September 6 at 8 p.m.

The Racky Thomas Band has been a torchbearer for the blues since its formation in 1995, when Racky Thomas collaborated with bassist Todd Carson, guitarist Nick Adams, and drummer Ted Larkin to make a demo CD, and do some gigs around the Boston area. He has a vast repertoire of tunes – blues from world-class bluesmen, plantation gospel (the original blues), rocking electric blues, classic and obscure blues, and Racky Thomas blues including “Matchbox Blues”, “Biscuit-Bakin’ Woman”,

“Mona”, “Sugar-coated Love”, “Big Road Blues”, “Hoochie-Coochie Man”, and “Mojo Workin’”. The group was twice nominated for the Boston Music Awards and were the winners of the 1997 Battle of the Blues Bands.

Admission is $12 per person. The venue is BYOB.

lakes, and scenic coastal landscapes. We’ll also learn about Iceland’s birds, and its offshore waters that are home to Minke Whales and Harbor Porpoise.

Geothermal energy is the main power source and, as a consequence, there is little pollution generated by its nearly 300,000 inhabitants.

With its shores bordering the Arctic Circle, you would think that frigid temperatures would be the rule in Iceland, but the waters of the North Atlantic serve to moderate the conditions and make it quite livable.

There are steep sea-

side cliffs where hundreds of thousands of birds breed, including the world’s largest colonies of Atlantic Puffin.

Great Skuas and Parasitic Jaegers cruise these colonies in search of prey. There are also many breeding shorebirds, other waterfowl, and several spectacular raptor species, including White-tailed Eagle and Gyrfalcon.

The Loon Center is located on Lee’s Mill Road; follow the signs from Route 109 or from Route 25 near the Moultonborough Central School. Refreshments will be served.

better than anyone else does. What can you do to shed light on the matter so the others can see it, too?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your instructions will be helpful in solving a mystery. You won’t spell out the answer, but you’ll tell people where they should look for the clues.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s exciting when a natural phenomenon unfolds before you. You’ll enjoy watching one of life’s stranger processes in detail. Paying attention is its own reward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). You won’t be so easily pleased, and because of this an inner fire ignites. Ordinary marks of progress won’t satisfy you. You won’t stop until you’ve achieved what no one else has. Love in abundance will support you.

Your professional status rises in November.

There’s a financial reward in October and January. Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 24, 11, 7 and 14.

by Darby Conley

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your sign mate Thomas Jefferson had it absolutely right when he said, “In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will return to the role of student with a long list of fresh questions. The more you learn the more you appreciate the endless loop that is the learning process.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For you, the glory has never been in riding on your high horse; rather, it’s in getting back on the horse after you’ve been knocked off. Today you’re something of a comeback kid.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will politely listen to the advice and philosophy of admired teachers, even though you may not be able to relate to it as of yet. The ideas will apply when you find evidence of their truth in your own life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sleep is an important part of any mammal’s life. Don’t lie awake worrying about tomorrow when you should be asleep. Instead, outline the plan that will assuage your worries.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your request for excellence will only be understood and acted upon if you also put it in writing. There’s something about ink and paper that makes it so.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll give a gift. The presentation will be crucial to its reception. Some items are so perfect, they shouldn’t be packaged with other items that might dilute the value.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You appreciate your family, but that doesn’t mean you need every member around you at all times.

You’ll call on your kin as needed. Set boundaries to instate the policy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Submitting to the judgment of others is a kind of agreement you don’t want to get into. When your friends get “judgy,” it’s time to pull back and assert your independence.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You understand what you’re dealing with much

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 5, 2013— Page 25

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 5, the 248th day of 2013. There are 117 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 5, 1972, terror struck the Munich Olympics as the Palestinian group Black September attacked the Israeli Olympic delegation; 11 Israelis, five guerrillas and a police officer were killed in the resulting siege.

On this date: In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia.

In 1793, the Reign of Terror began during the French Revolution as the National Convention instituted harsh measures to repress counterrevolutionary activities.

In 1836, Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas.

In 1913, fire devastated Hot Springs, Ark., destroying some 60 blocks.

In 1914, the First Battle of the Marne, resulting in a French-British victory over Germany, began during World War I. In 1939, four days after war had broken out in Europe, President Franklin D. Roosevelt issued a proclamation declaring U.S. neutrality in the conflict.

In 1945, Japanese-American Iva Toguri D’Aquino, suspected of being wartime broadcaster “Tokyo Rose,” was arrested in Yokohama.

(D’Aquino was later convicted of treason and served six years in prison; she was pardoned in 1977 by President Gerald R. Ford.)

In 1957, the novel “On the Road,” by Jack Kerouac, was first published by Viking Press.

In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford escaped an attempt on his life by Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, a disciple of Charles Manson, in Sacramento, Calif.

In 1986, four hijackers who had seized a Pan Am jumbo jet on the ground in Karachi, Pakistan, opened fire when the lights inside the plane failed; a total of 22 people were killed in the hijacking.

In 1997, Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II broke the royal reticence over Princess Diana’s death, delivering a televised address in which she called her former daughter-in-law “a remarkable person.”

Mother Teresa died in Calcutta, India, at age 87.

Ten years ago: Israeli commandos killed a Hamas bombmaker in a firefight and pulverized the West Bank apartment building in which he had been hiding. Hurricane Fabian slammed into Bermuda, killing four people. Singer-actress Gisele MacKenzie died in Burbank, Calif., at age 76.

Five years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice became the highest-ranking American official in half a century to visit Libya, where she met Moammar Gadhafi. Europe’s Rosetta space probe flew by the Steins asteroid 250 million miles from Earth. Publishing giant Robert Giroux, who’d guided and supported dozens of great writers from T.S. Eliot and Jack Kerouac to Bernard Malamud and Susan Sontag, died in Tinton Falls, N.J., at age 94.

One year ago: In an impassioned speech that rocked the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., former President Bill Clinton proclaimed, “I know we’re coming back” from the worst economic mess in generations, and he appealed to hard-pressed Americans to stick with Barack Obama for a second term in the White House.

Footlight Theatre administering scholarship

The Franklin Footlight Theatre group took on the responsibility of funding and administering the Jule C. Finley Scholarship. Created in 2006 by Steve Foley, Executive Director of the Franklin Opera House, it was absorbed by Franklin Footlight Community Theatre in 2010, to perpetually honor Jule as that organization’s founder, and acknowledge her continuing dedication to no only live theater in Franklin, but just as importantly, to community service in the city where she lives and works. The scholarship is supported entirely by donation and the sale of 50/50 tickets during performances of the Franklin High School Players and Franklin Footlight Theatre community artists. Pictured next to the plaque which hangs in the Opera House honoring all recipients are the first recipient of the Scholarship in 2007, Jennifer M. Creasey, left, and Jule C. Finley, right.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 5, 2013— Page 27

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 35-year-old man. Years ago, my mother developed a bad habit. Whenever I was in the passenger side of the car, if she stopped short, she would put her arm against my chest to prevent me from going through the windshield.

This infuriated me. I’m already wearing a seatbelt, and there is no way a woman her size could protect me. Every time she did this, I would yell, “Keep your hands on the wheel!” Eventually, she stopped.

My mother has always looked for ways to control me. She complains about every problem under the sun, and when I offer a workable solution, she says, “Well, some people can’t afford to do those things,” and we end up arguing. Her arguments are always stupid, and she’ll flip sides to make me look like the aggressor. It’s very manipulative and makes me furious.

In the past two years, I’ve avoided seeing or speaking to my parents. Recently, Mom asked me to see my grandmother. Against my better judgment, I went with her, and out of the blue, she did that thing again, putting her arm across my chest when she stopped suddenly.

I told her to pull over. She said, “I’m sorry, but I get nervous.” I said, “Then I don’t think I can trust you to drive” and walked home. I don’t know anyone else who does this. It’s not normal. I suspect my mother wants to feel like the boss of the situation. What do you say? -- N.Y. Dear N.Y.: Every parent we know does this. You interpret it as controlling and manipulative, but it is done out of an instinctive impulse to protect someone they love. Try to recognize that your feelings could indicate a skewed perspective about Mom’s motives and may be coloring your entire relationship. The two of you don’t seem to communicate in the same language. Please explore this with a professional counselor and work on ways to relate in a healthier and more

productive manner. And ask your mother to go, too. We suspect she could benefit, as well.

Dear Annie: I recently broke up with a 70-year-old man who could not stop ogling women and making sexually inappropriate remarks to them. I talked to him about it many times and clearly stated that this is emotional cheating and he should stop or we’d be finished. He didn’t change, and it escalated to ogling strangers on elevators and women at parties. It was creepy. I was humiliated and embarrassed. After I broke up with him, I found out that he made sexually inappropriate remarks to some very young girls, saying he wanted to see them naked. I suggested therapy. He said all men do this and told me to relax.

A friend of mine says he is a sexual predator and probably a sex addict. He always reads your column. Maybe you can shed some light. Is it a mental deficit or emotional cheating?

-- Wondering in Canada Dear Canada: Both. If this inappropriate behavior began within the past few years, it could be an indication of early dementia. Suggest he see his doctor. However, if he has always been like this, it is not only emotional cheating, but also worrisome. When you say “very young girls,” how young? If you believe he is preying on underage girls, please report him to the authorities.

Dear Annie: “Leave Us Alone” should tell her relatives they don’t want to start a family they can’t fully support. They should say they have set up two funds -- one to pay off their college loans and one for future children. When their loans are paid off and the one for future children is completely funded, they will consider trying. Then ask the nosy family member how much they are willing to contribute. -- Some Humor in Dallas

Sublime tribute band Badfish playing Tower ‘Get to know the hands that feed you’ this weekend Hill Club on Saturday, local band opening LACONIA — The Tower Hill Club, located at Weirs Beach, 290 Lakeside Ave, Laconia, will host Badfish – a Tribute to Sublime on Saturday. Reggae artist Cody James & Relevation will open the show at 6 p.m. Advanced tickets are available at www. towerhillclub.com Show is 18+ Sublime was arguably one of the most energetic, original, and uniquely eclectic bands to emerge on the international music scene in the 1990s. In 2001, Badfish - a Tribute to Sublime, played its first show in Matunuck, Rhode Island to 500 fans, many of whom drove an hour or more to celebrate the music of a Sublime (whose run ended far too soon after the tragic death of lead singer Brad Nowell in 1996).

But no one could have predicted what was about to happen next. The tribute band took off.

Fans began calling Badfish the “rebirth of Sublime” and the tribute band went on to break attendance records up and down the East coast. 12 years later the band is still going strong, maintaining the spirit of Sublime while carrying their legacy with grace. And in that time Badfish has become one of the biggest club and theater acts in the Northeast and Midwest. Promoters continue to be in awe that this tribute band must often turn fans away when tickets run out, as they are consistently selling out many shows at the most prominent venues throughout the country.

Opening the show Saturday are Cody James and Relevation, a roots and reggae band that have a contagiously good attitude and compelling musical agenda. Cody (a New Hampshire native who has called Laconia his home for the past 15 years) has shared stages with bands Slightly Stoopid, 311, and

as it so happens, Sublime. James remarked that it is “awesome to be asked to play this show. I am a huge Sublime fan, and I’ve seen Badfish a gazillion times. Tower Hill is the perfect place for this–they’re all about the music!”

James returns to the stage after a brief hiatus dedicated to song-writing, and he’s in fine form. “It feels so right to get back on the horse, right here in Laconia, with my Lakes Region super-band.” His current lineup includes sax-man Jon Lorentz, keyboardist Joe Deleault, bassist Mike Rossi and drummer Rick Page (the latter three who tour internationally with blues artist Mighty Sam McClain).

The Tower Hill Club is a 350 capacity live music and dance space. Located upstairs of Tower Hill Tavern and the recently opened Jazz Bar, the club space features a large stage, state-of-the-art sound system, pro light show, and a full bar.

CONCORD — The Northeast Organic Farming Association of New Hampshire (NOFA-NH), in collaboration with the New Hampshire Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food and Carroll County Farm Weekend, is organizing an Organic and Sustainable Farm Weekend, Saturday and Sunday, September 7 and 8 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The theme of the event is “Get to know the hands that feed you!” Participants can take a whirlwind tour of twenty-six sustainable and organic farms throughout New Hampshire or simply select from a few local farms to visit in in each region during the weekend.

“This event comes just as we are heading into the harvest season.” said Janet Wilkinson, NOFA-NH Executive Director, “It’s a great way to show support for local, organic and sustainable farmers and to see first-hand all the work they do to provide for New Hampshire’s food system. We invite you to bring the family, take in the rural scenery, and get to know the hands that feed you!”

Participating farms will open their doors to the public and will offer tastings of produce, grass-fed sausage, jams and jellies, homemade mustard, and herbal teas.

Visitors can participate in farm tours and various scheduled activities such as fishing, wellness workshops, farm equipment demonstrations and live animal showings.

The event is free and open to the public; each farm will have its own unique activities and will offer a range of goods for sale, from PYO berries, fresh herbs and veggies available at farm stands, country cheeses and jams for sale, free-range eggs, pumpkin picking and more.

In Laconia, Minglewood Farm is offering guided tours of a “nano-farm” property, featuring a new food forest development and permaculture efforts. Additional farms taking part include Red Mange Farm in Loudon, White Gates Farm and the NH Mushroom Company in Tamworth, and Springhill Farm in Sanbornton.

Samsung unveils smart-watch that makes calls Al-Qaida-linked rebels hit

BERLIN (AP) — Nearly 70 years after Dick Tracy began wearing a two-way wrist radio in the funny pages, the technology that once seemed impossibly futuristic will be widely available by Christmas.

Samsung on Wednesday introduced a digital watch for the holiday season that will let users check messages with a glance at their wrists and have conversations secret agent-style.

So-called smartwatches have been around for several years. But so far, they have failed to attract much consumer interest. That may change with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, which offers the company a chance to pull off the same as feat Apple did with the iPad — popularize a type of device that has lingered mostly unnoticed on store shelves.

The Gear must be linked wirelessly with a smartphone to perform its full range of functions. It acts as an extension to the phone by discreetly alerting users to incoming messages and calls on its screen,

which measures 1.63 inches diagonally.

“With Gear, you’re able to make calls and receive calls without ever taking your phone out of your pocket,” Pranav Mistry, a member of Samsung’s design team, told reporters at the launch in Berlin ahead of the annual IFA consumer electronics show here.

Sony and Qualcomm also introduced smartwatches Wednesday. Apple Inc. is expected to release its own smartwatch, though it’s not clear yet when.

The release of separate products from so many manufacturers could stir interest in smartwatches in general. Meanwhile, Google is working on Google Glass — a device designed to work like a smartphone and worn like a pair of glasses.

With smartphones and tablets now ubiquitous, electronics companies are trying to create a new category of products that put advanced computing technology into everyday objects such as wristwatches and glasses. Research firm Gartner projects that wearable smart electronics will be a $10 billion industry by 2016.

But Ramon Llamas, an analyst at research firm IDC, said many things have to go right for smartwatches to succeed. Llamas said the devices need to offer a range of useful applications that justify carrying around — and charging — another digital device.

“It can’t just be notifications of how many incoming messages you have,” he said. “Health applications seem to be the low-hanging fruit.”

For starters, the Gear will work with sporting and fitness apps such as RunKeeper, which tracks runs and other workouts.

SHEA-PORTER from page 2 siders a military intervention, scheduled a listening session with constituents at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

“As Congress prepares to address this critical issue, I want to hear directly from my constituents and make sure that their voices are part of the debate,” she said in a statement.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said the U.S. must determine the best way to make clear that it’s unacceptable to use weapons of mass destruction in Syria while also protecting itself from becoming mired in a civil war.

Christian village in Syria

BEIRUT (AP) — Al-Qaida-linked rebels launched an assault Wednesday on a regime-held Christian village in the densely populated west of Syria and new clashes erupted near the capital, Damascus — part of a brutal battle of attrition each side believes it can win despite more than two years of deadlock.

As the world focused on possible U.S. military action against Syria, rebels commandeered a mountaintop hotel in the village of Maaloula and shelled the community below, said a nun, speaking by phone from a convent in the village. She spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals.

The attack came hours before a Senate panel voted to give President Barack Obama authority to use military force against Syria — the first time lawmakers have voted to allow military action since the October 2002 votes authorizing the invasion of Iraq.

The measure, which cleared the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on a 10-7 vote, was altered at the last minute to support “decisive changes to the present military balance of power” in Syria’s civil war, though it ruled out U.S. combat operations on the ground. It was expected to reach the full Senate floor next week.

The Syria conflict, which began with a popular uprising in March 2011, has been stalemated, and it’s not clear if U.S. military strikes over the regime’s alleged chemical weapons use would change that.

Obama has said he seeks limited pinpoint action to deter future chemical attacks, not regime change.
