Quest to authenticate 3 write-in votes likely to trigger Ward 5 recount

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — An alleged oversight by those working the polls in Ward 5 during the recent primary election has former city councilor Dave Gammon and former mayor Tom Tardif questioning the electoral process.

City Councilor Bob Hamel, running for

re-election without opposition, received 39 of the 47 ballots cast on Sept. 10. After closing the polls and tallying the votes, the ward clerk and selectmen delivered the ballots and reported the results to City Clerk Mary Reynolds at City Hall. The paperwork did not indicate that anyone received a write-in vote for city council.

If write-in votes are cast, the person with the most, which could be as few as a single vote, is notified by the City Clerk that they have qualified for the general election in November and asks if they wish for their name to be placed on the ballot.

On Friday the 13th, Gammon went to City see WARD 5 page 11

Runaway wheel causes multi-car crash on I-93 in Hookset, 1 driver dies

HOOKSETT, (AP) — New Hampshire State Police say a wheel flew off a tractor trailer heading south on I-93, hit a northbound police cruiser then bounced back into the southbound lane where it struck another car, causing a crash that killed the driver.

The crash shortly after 8 a.m. happened near the state liquor store in Hooksett when the wheel assembly, from a truck hauling a modular home, broke free. It hit the cruiser being driven the director of the state police, Col. Robert Quinn, who was not hurt.

Police say 40-year-old Kerry Anderson-Baker of Concord was killed.

The truck driver, 51-year-old Alan Condon of Oakfield, Maine, didn’t stop until after the Hooksett tolls and may not have known the wheel broke loose.

He was located in Maine.

No charges have been filed.

Surprise from Fed: no ‘tapering’ of ‘quantitative easing’ WASHINGTON (AP) — In a surprise that sent the stock market soaring, the Federal Reserve concluded Wednesday that the U.S. economy isn’t yet healthy enough for the central bank to ease its stimulus even slightly.

The Fed’s cautious message pleased investors, who had expected a slight cut in the bond purchases that have kept long-term interest rates low as the nation recovers from the Great Recession. Wall Street celebrated the prospect of continued low interest

rates by lifting stocks to a record high.

In a statement after a policy meeting, the Fed signaled it has no set timetable for reducing the stimulus, which has stood at $85 billion a month for the last year.

Chairman Ben Bernanke explained later at a news conference that there are good reasons to be cautious: — The Fed has yet to see conclusive evidence that the job market and economy are approaching full health.

— Mortgage rates have surged, and the

bond purchases are needed to hold those rates down and keep home buying affordable for ordinary people.

— A budget stalemate in Congress and the threat of a government shutdown as soon as next month are holding back growth and putting the economy at risk.

“Conditions in the job market today are still far from what all of us would like to see,” Bernanke said.

Stocks spiked immediately after the Fed see FED page 11

6 killed in Ontario as bus crashes through barrier & into train OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — Passengers screamed “Stop! Stop!” seconds before their bus crashed through a crossing barrier and into a commuter train during morning rush hour in Canada’s capital on Wednesday, killing six people and injuring 34.

“He smoked the train,” witness Mark Cogan said of the bus driver, who was among those killed. “He went through the guard rail and just hammered the train, and then it was just mayhem.”

It was not immediately clear what caused

the bus to smash through the lowered barrier at a crossing in suburban Ottawa.

The front of the double-decker bus was ripped away by the impact, and the train’s locomotive and one passenger car derailed, though there were no reports of major injuries to train passengers or crew.

Eight were still listed in critical condition late Wednesday. The crash brought trains on the national Via Rail’s OttawaToronto route to a standstill.

It was Canada’s second major rail acci-

dent in less than three months. A runaway oil train derailed and exploded in a Quebec town on July 6, killing 47 people in the country’s worst rail disaster in more than a century.

Tanner Trepanier said he and other passengers could see the four-car train bearing down on them as the bus approached the crossing.

“People started screaming, ‘Stop! Stop!’ because they could see the train coming see BUS/TRAIN page 12

Study of rocket trajectory links Syrian military to poison gas attack BEIRUT (AP) — The trajectory of the rockets that delivered the nerve agent sarin in last month’s deadly attack is among the key evidence linking elite Syrian troops based in the mountains

That evidence, however, was dismissed

by Syrian President Bashar Assad, who

Advice for Republicans: create good, sound policy Republicans have been getting a lot of advice on how they should change their party ever since Mitt Romney’s defeat in November 2012.

They need it.

They are in more than the usual disarray that afflicts parties out of the White House. Many members of their majority in the House of Representatives are out of step with the Republican leadership on issues ranging from Syria to defunding Obamacare.

They have a clutch of presidential candidates who are little known nationally and take starkly different stands on issues. Any recent uptick in polls represents more a rejection of the Obama Democrats than an embrace of their opponents.

So Republicans would do well to listen to advice, even from unlikely political quarters and from the far corners of the earth. Two articles in the past week warrant attention, even though they seem to propose opposite courses.

In one corner are William Galston and Elaine Kamarck, Democrats who held top jobs in the Clinton White House, writing in The Washington Post.

They point back to their 1989 manifesto, “The Politics of Evasion: Democrats and the Presidency.”

Democrats suffered, they argued, from mistaken beliefs that they could win the presidency by some combination of liberal orthodoxy and mobilizing core constituencies. They argued that Democrats’ previous victories in congressional and state elections wouldn’t continue indefinitely, as conservative Southerners would start to vote Republican. Their analysis proved prescient. Bill Clinton, campaigning as a New Democrat, captured the White House in 1992. And Republicans finally broke through and won a majority in the House in 1994.

Today, they say, Republicans stand where Democrats did in 1989. They need to be more moderate. They should reject “hyper-individualistic libertarianism,” “mean-spirited words” and (in an uncharacteristically nasty analogy) “the tea party’s Wahhabi-style drive to restore pure, uncompromised conservatism.”

A different recommendation comes from overseas. British parliamentarian Douglas Carswell, in a Telegraph blogpost, interprets the Sept. 8 victory of Tony Abbott and his center-right Liberal Party in Australia as a vote for full-throated conservatism.

Abbott opposes abortion and same-sex marriage; he is a skeptic on global warming; and he wants to end immigration of asylum-seekers.

The left-wing Oz commentariat said that made him unelectable. Yet he won big.

Carswell’s advice to British Conservatives and, by implication,

American Republicans is to “stop drifting to the soggy center.” Tony Abbott shows you can win.

So which is it — go moderate or go bold? My reading is that there’s not as much conflict as initially appears.

One reason is that the analogies go only so far.

Galston and Kamarck surely understand that Republicans aren’t in as bad shape as Democrats were in 1989. Then Democrats had lost the presidential popular vote in the last six elections by an average of 10 percent. The corresponding figure for Republicans today is 4 percent.

Moreover, Republicans have won House majorities in eight of the last 10 elections, on platforms similar to that of their presidential candidates. The party faces challenges but not doom.

And of course Australia is not the United States. Abbott was helped by ferocious splits in the governing Labor Party. Nothing similar is happening, yet, with America’s Democrats.

I think the American Democrats and the British Conservatives are offering similar advice in two respects.

Run on the issues of tomorrow, they say, not the issues of yesterday.

Kamarck and Galston note that many Republicans offer policies modeled on Ronald Reagan’s. But the country faces different problems today.

In Australia, Abbott did not run on the platform of 1996-2007 Liberal (that means Conservative in his country) Prime Minister John Howard. He called for an expensive parental leave program to encourage childbearing, for example.

Most of all — and here is the second point of agreement — the center-right victories in Australia and in Norway two days later owe much to the unpopularity of centerleft government policies.

Abbott promised to repeal Labor’s carbon tax. Norway’s Ema Solberg called for business-friendly reforms to produce the economic growth necessary for an expensive welfare state.

There is no shortage of unpopular Obama policies. Obamacare, for starters, is unpopular and may be headed for a train wreck when it goes into effect next month. Blocking the Keystone pipeline irritates most everyone except hardline environmentalists. Then there’s — James Carville’s phrase — the economy, stupid. Big government isn’t working as promised.

Republicans need to present attractive policies that address future needs. Good policy, more than ideological positioning, is the key to political success.

LETTERS Chiropractic warriors optimistic about future of alternative health care To The Daily Sun, This month many thousands of happy and healthy patients are celebrating the 118th birthday of chiropractic. We celebrate the millions of individuals who have chosen a drugless, low risk choice in order to improve their nerve function and optimize their health.

This letter is not meant to minimize all the good that traditional medical care does. I had knee replacement surgery in January and have been pleased with the results. This letter desires to celebrate the fact that there is a healthy option available for those who choose to seek help for the root cause of their illness rather than symptom management. Or as Anneliese Lemay aptly put it in her recent letter, “most medical doctors would’ve prescribed an unnecessary pill to put a band-aid over the underlying cause”.

Now comes the “party crasher” in the form of our favorite allopathic allosaurus, who appears to have morphed into a “crank curmudgeon”. Perhaps Mirno Pasquali recently emerged from the depths of Paugus Bay and has a little water on the brain. Cranial Waterloggus I believe is the medical term. Anyway, that is the best explanation I have for his patronizing and ill mannered attack on the two fine practitioners of Crossroads Chiropractic. I was their grateful patient for years and I am now a very satisfied and healthy patient of Awakening Chiropractic.

No lower back spasms for over four years. A return of some of the lost neck curvature resulting from decades of physical stress and a lack of chiropractic adjustments. A return to optimal nerve function and increased flexibility. These are just some of the positive results of chiropractic care for me. Decades of pain medications, soft neck stabilizers and lost work productivity and bed rest did not improve my back and neck issues. I was slowly becoming more stiff and immobile while my gastrointestinal tract was becoming compromised by the band-aid drugs I had been given.

This all affected my emotional state so I was prescribed anti-depressants and anxiety medications which I maintained for three years. They helped a little, but I had little energy and brain fog. It has now been four years since I consumed that toxic mixture of drugs

resulted in a declining quality of life. I have remained drug free and vigorous since 2009.

Awakening Chiropractic and Crossroads Chiropractic are both competent and caring wellness centers. They offer a variety of health inspiring workshops, ably assisted by some of the most cheerful, upbeat, well adjusted staff this side of Disneyland. If Mr. Pasquali did not have such a calcified, closed mind on this subject, I would encourage him to just hang out at either of these venues.

For me, they represent an atmosphere of natural euphoria, filled with humor, education and of course those health promoting adjustments.

Happily, I have the health and proper frame of mind to withstand the nattering nabobs of negativity that literally jump off the pages of Mr. Pasquali’s latest “party crashing letter of condescension”. I feel very sorry for PA Pasquali, paragon of petulance, arrogance and all things cynical.

We chiropractic warriors are optimistic about the future of alternative/natural/complementary/integrative health care. Primary care practitioners have begun informing their patients about the benefits of Vitamin D supplementation, especially during the winter months. They have begun to inform their patients about taking probiotics when consuming antibiotics. The importance of having a proper balance of DHA/EPA fish oils has begun to enter their sphere of knowledge. They now often recommend a whole food multivitamin for their patients. I am confident that soon they will inform their patients that Coenzyme Q10 is a must for anyone taking statin drugs, since they drastically deplete the bodily stores of this heart healthy/heart saving oily, vitamin like substance.

So from this writer comes a heartfelt, from the Lakes Region treetops, shout out of congratulations to all the wonderful chiropractors and the marvelous life force maximizing benefits they provide to all their patients. And for the ahem, esteemed lakes region physician’s assistant, God bless your pea picking little heart. I’m sure you mean well. Must be some subluxational interference that is causing your cognitive dissonance.

NOTICE Applications desired for GUNSTOCK AREA COMMISSIONER

Is plan to have Obamacare collapse into single-payer system?

To The Daily Sun, I seldom find reason to disagree with letters from Tony Boutin, yet I was prompted to write regarding his reflections on Obamacare. I may have misjudged the president. Perhaps he is too clever by half. Perhaps Obamacare is working precisely as he intended.

It was forced through Congress by measures that I consider bribery. It is being implemented despite a large majority of the populace and many of its original supporting institutions crying for caution.

Obamacare will be installed, sort of, just enough to demonstrate its total failure. Once the medical profession has been disrupted beyond repair, government will be the only one who can save the day. The obvious answer? A single-payer system run by the government, just like the Education Department, the Energy Department, et al. I believe that this was the president’s underlying intent.

Once this happens he can save Social

Security and Medicare. Just put actuaries in charge of dispensing health care, so that medical decisions may be subjected to cost benefit analysis.

I fully expect that the elderly and the seriously incapacitated will seldom be found worth perpetuating. Let nature take its natural course — death. That will reduce the cost of health care and ease the financial pressure on Social Security and Medicare.

I remember a televised debate some years ago regarding Canada’s single payer system. A proponent of the system cited a poll that showed 85 percent of the population was highly satisfied with the system. The opponent responded, “The other 15 percent are sick.”

This president may be touted by the mainstream media as the most transformative president in U.S. history. I fear!

Congratulations to Alton for rejecting Common Core Standards To The Daily Sun, According to this article in your newspaper, the Alton School Board has rejected the Common Core Standards.

We congratulate them for absolutely doing the right thing. Here’s why.

This is the kind of thing that is being pushed via “Common Core”: http://www.mvsd-ib.org/ib/2013/09/17/ common-core-teacher-workshoptitles-all-un-all-of-the-time/ It’s all about U.N. goals, global government, reinterpreting (and therefore subverting) the Constitution, praising Muslim “heroes”, and spreading social justice, encouraging presenters from groups such as the FEDERAL RESERVE. Yes, you read that right, the muchmaligned private bank known as the FED is now giving teachers the tools to poison your children’s minds with this communist nonsense. We’ve seen other lessons where the CFR also came in to teach foreign policy via the IB program, but nothing as blatant as this.

You will need to take a chill pill

before you read the scathing article that is linked within the article from the website of the Parents of Merrimack Valley, who are now suffering under “IB” indoctrination.

It’s all about using your children to create socialist “activists” — turning them into political mules for the global government, as it were. It is SHAMEFUL that anyone would allow this to go on in our public schools. And you thought you could trust your administrators and teachers?

The article highlights a mere few of the course descriptions as examples of what tripe is being forced on our children all over the country, as we said, even without the “IB” (U.N.) program.

When you read the rest, your blood should boil.

It’s time to vote out every single school board member that allows this stuff in our schools.

Your silence means complicity.

Thank you Alton.

Now Through September 30th

Many Walmart employees are eligible for Medicaid & food stamps To The Daily Sun, Nick Vazzana’s letter regarding low wages was spot on. It is just amazing what has happened to American workers since the 1980s. I remember making $9 an hour running a lathe 30 years ago and I still see jobs starting around that or a hair more. Nick mentioned McDonald’s but the chief offender is Walmart.

Walmart makes government all the fatter. Casino capitalists don’t know or don’t want you to know that every Walmart in America costs the people

about a million government dollars from social programs that these same casino capitalists want to destroy.

Because of the low wages Walmart pays, the majority are eligible for Medicaid, food stamps, WIC, rent help and more. Because Walmart refuses to pay a decent wage, YOU pay it for them. That is capitalism? Throwing the worker onto the dole machine? Helping people in need shouldn’t be due to greedy parsimonious corporations.

All Day Every Day!

To The Daily Sun, The Arts in New Hampshire would be nothing without the summer playhouses (i.e. Winnipesaukee, Streetcar Company), live performance centers and film theaters that once dotted the landscape in the Granite State in their heyday. Fortunately for us, the Lakes Regions’ towns and New Hampshire in general have many performing arts theaters, some of which remain today, thanks to kind-hearted owners/ donors, philanthropists and “patron lovers of the arts.” One merely needs to look at the town history in Plymouth, Lebanon, Keene, Manchester, Concord, Franklin, Portsmouth and Bethlehem for starters. They have taken the initiative and followthrough to restore the historic structures of old that once fostered the performing arts in the earliest days of New Hampshire’s grandeur and socialization.

I will revisit my hometown of Pittsfield, Mass in November for a performance of Gordon Lightfoot at the newly renovated Colonial Theatre that was for decades an uncomely faux-fronted art and painters supply store called Miller’s. My children and I attend the shows in Keene, Lebanon, Plymouth and Concord, N.H., these days, where one cannot help but look up at the chandeliers in each one and admire the elaborate and intricate ceiling art and brilliant colors before the performances begin. The “full house lighting” entices you to focus on and appreciate the ambiance of the magnificence Capitol Center as if it was being dedicated for the first time each time one visited for the St. Paul’s School Nutcracker performances of the past.

There are various “Colonial Theaters” around the country, many of which remain dormant and dark to this day. They are ubiquitous. They were not merely “theaters” as we think of in cinema, but stage performance venues for live shows with noted acts.

In Franklin, N.H., the efforts of many advocates have resulted in a magnificent hall that harbors an array of musical performances from folk to dance to plays and fundraiser/benefit shows. I have had the privilege of performing there (guitar/vocal) in the past for a local annual talent show designed to raise money to replace the balcony seats and an egress to meet the local safety codes. Volunteers did it. They accomplished that based on a show I just attended there in 2013.

I must say that the acoustics of the room were the best offerings I had ever played in, in years. But the little city of Franklin did it! Yes, Franklin!

Today, that same Franklin Opera House (FOH) thrives with local support and has attracted, with renewed vigor, a downtown crowd and an “local lakes area patron following”. Once harboring the police station’s needs in the “green room”, the newly renovated facility now resounds with music, applause and laughter with comfortable seating and sellout crowds.

Kudos to a caring Franklin, N.H. Local restaurants grew and thrive around the theater, especially on performance nights, pre and post shows.

Even Tilton’s eateries benefit.

In Laconia, on Main Street, there is a “Colonial history” as well, its mar-

quee and interior longing for the name and the sounds of live music, theatrical plays, summer-stock “On Golden Pond” performances, an opera or a Hal Holbrook “Mark Twain Tonight” impersonation. The same level of performers at the Flying Monkey (and at the Silver Center) in Plymouth could be at The Colonial — economy boosters. Congrats to Alex Ray for his insight and success to date in Plymouth with The Flying Monkey – a gamble that paid off for a noted restaurateur who was hesitant about going for live shows! He succeeded.

The Colonial Theater is more than a memory; it’s a building asking for compassion, love and revitalization.

It begs to be the next Capitol Center for the Arts and downtown Laconia needs to embrace it to survive financially and culturally. With historic theater restorations come supportive restaurants, cafes, bars and nightlife.

That alone fosters new patrons and revenue for downtown merchants and the city, like spokes radiating from the hub of a wheel or a symbiotic relationship like ants on a peony plant. The peony may never flower without the ant that helps the bloom. We are the ants and the theater is the flower!

The Laconia Colonial Theater was once referred to, in 1915, as “one of handsomest play-houses in New England.” Benjamin Piscopo built the theater in 1913-1914 and it accommodated 1,400 people in comfortable seats of a renaissance era. Main Street and Canal Street stores did not flourish until the theater was opened, a feat that could happen again if desired and supported by the masses.

Canal Street was merely a conduit between Beacon and Main back then.

The famed Perley Canal (#10) runs beneath part of the famed theater, for back then it was a planned aqueous diversion from the Winnipesaukee River to the Laconia Street Car Co. buildings, now a vibrant condo complex that ultimately saved those historic structures and bricks from the wrecking ball.

One historical reference cites that the stage at The Colonial was used for recitals, meetings, high school graduations and cooking classes. It operated for 86 years, fostering entertainment in center city. It harbored movies, vaudeville shows, the music of John Phillip Sousa and most notably, the “world premiere” of the movie, “Return to Peyton Place” in 1961, based on the novel by a local author, Grace Metalious. The world premiere, not just the U.S. premiere. Circus performances traversed the stage as well.

Elephants they say!

In 1952, The Colonial Theater was host to the premiere of the Greater Laconia Home Cooking School series.

Miss Madeline D. Linehan, a Julia Child or Rachel Ray of sorts (because of her apparent captivating personality), taught the virtues of homemaking and cooking that attracted a dedicated following of ladies to the auspicious stage venue.

From 1980 to 2000 we know that the theater operated as a movie theater, finally subdivided into five removable sections like a Cinema 8 appealing to see next page

GIGUEREAUTO.NET The Lakes Region’s #1 Truck, Auto & Powersport Dealer! from preceding page the diversity of films offered and moviegoers’ desires to have a cinema selection for both adults and children locally. In 2003, a New Durham couple tried valiantly to revive it as a movie theater/pizzeria. (I moved to the Lakes Region in 1999).

That moment in 2003 was inspiring to all of us, especially when the marquee was re-lit, as if on Broadway. The lights dimmed and died shortly thereafter for movies alone could not sustain it.

“Live shows” were needed! And still are!

Sadly, that was probably not what the theater cried out for ... it probably “screamed in silence” for live performances, the same shows that we attended each year for the Frates Creative Arts Center annual dance recitals for my daughter, but relegated to a Gilford Middle School auditorium venue. Broadway North’s dance recitals/performances were placed in Gilford as well when if fact they both might have been “Colonial potential” and held “in Laconia” along with high school concerts/choral presentations by Debbie Gibson.

Frates’s studios are on Canal St., a few steps away — advocates of the live arts to this day.

What resulted from the segmented cinema renovation was the partial elimination of the Colonial’s historic interior, plush seating and the ability to stage live stage shows with noted acts of interest, both national and local acts. Live performances (on stage) died in the 1960s, history tells us. One theater patron remembers beautiful, glowing purple nightlights, and another friend of mine remembers, as a child, a “Raggedy Ann and Andy” performance with live, over-sized, costumed actors who accompanied a cinematic film presentation with the same characters. The stage engaged the patrons and the elegant lobby beckoned you in!

Long hidden or gone today in the theater are the cranberry-colored drapes/curtains and gold-leaf stage front moldings and the “stage right and left” balcony seating for side views of live shows, never mind the warmth and “ambiance” as depicted in a 1914 colored postcard I found that made me wanderlust back to the days of Laconia’s passion for the “live” arts.

With the passing of the Laconia opera houses, the Colonial remains one of the last bastions of the “arts” that can still be saved to this day. If Franklin, N.H., could achieve it, Laconia can take pride in knowing that this city can do the same with a larger population of residents, some 17,000.

The last revitalization of the downtown was in the mid-to-late 1960s; the same urban renewal project that razed critical historic buildings that older residents and I personally wished were still preserved today for posterity. Ancient postcards on a Weirs Website don’t suffice and historic photos in a Warren Huse history book don’t appease us. Community action does!

The Colonial art deco marquee now hangs(ominously and threateningly over people) in desperation, with missing or burned out bulbs.

Delivery trucks uncaringly park nearby or occasionally brush the ornate edges, causing the handtooled metal filigree and molding to tear open in ragged fashion unbecoming and insulting to its rich heritage. A haphazard aluminum shield, poorly constructed, covers the ornate art.

How sad is it that no one will champion the efforts to save the Colonial! No specific plan seems to be in order even after consultants were hired and meetings were held with residents passionate in saving her — some 200 at the first meeting. Don’t tell me it

is not feasible — 8 to 9 other towns did it!

Rhetoric rains prevalent (something must be done you say!), but actions are nonexistent, yet the downtown cries out for business and patrons — the patrons a “new Colonial” would foster and grow. In the next 2013 mayoral or official election in November, pick the person(s) who supports her renovation.

Ask them what they will do to save the theater and revitalize the downtown. If they say nothing positive, don’t vote for them! Hold them and the City Council accountable. Apathy is a disease and it’s rampant.

It is “music and the arts” that attract the locals and Lakes Region visitors (year-round); those desiring a vibrant nightlife and community atmosphere in summer and winter. With few exceptions, there is little of either in the city’s heart today. The cure to what ails the “arts” is standing right before our eyes at 615 Main. Save the Colonial and light the marquee brightly before it can no longer be saved and lit. It is Lakes Region history and relegated to limbo, but should be the priority and responsibility of all of us and this city’s management to resurrect its soul before the heartbeat subsides. A transfusion is needed. Think about what “you” can do personally to help save her, and the downtown.

Whether seated at the piano or standing before an orchestra, baton in hand, Vladimir Svoysky’s approach to music is pure passion – a passion born from his formative years in his native Russia.

Johann Sebastian Bach’s genius produced some of the most beautiful music of all time. The results have been both lesson and inspiration to musicians for more than three centuries. Bach himself put it this way, “There is nothing so remarkable about it; one only need hit the right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.”

With a little assistance from Svoysky hitting the right keys at the right time, the result is an intriguing all-Bach concert performance.

LETTERS Only 1 part of Voting Rights Act was found to be no longer relevant To The Daily Sun, This is in response to Bernadette Loesch’s letter in the September 12 Sun: Bernadette, I have to say I find your take on the GOP’s motivations in regards to voter rights to be interesting, if misguided and uninformed. Your take on the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down one provision within the Voting Rights Act as a repeal of voting rights laws and protections is paranoid at best. Either you didn’t understand Section 4 of the Voting Rights Act, the Supreme Court decision, or both. This is something I have addressed below, but first let us go over the points you brought up in your letter in the order you presented them: 1. “We are witnessing many, many states cut back on the number of days for registering to vote.” Really, which states? Even with the so-called ‘Motor-Voter’ laws out there that allow registering to vote on the day of the election? As long as the person registering to vote can prove they live where they say the live — the same criteria required for ‘regular’ voter registration — then how is this a problem?

2. “Requiring a valid I.D. in order to vote.” Everyone should be concerned with voting and maintaining the legitimacy of elections at local, state and national level. When ineligible people can vote with impunity it puts the entire electoral process into question. Those ineligible to vote include non-citizens, convicted felons (unless they’ve had their voting rights restored by the court), non-residents voting in districts where they do not reside, and those voting using absentee ballots that aren’t theirs. Having to show an ID to prove you are who you say you are is a means of ensuring the legitimacy of the process. Valid IDs are NOT difficult to obtain despite claims to the contrary. Remember, you already have to have them to cash checks, receive government benefits, apply for credit, register to vote, and a whole host of other activities that no one seems to find burdensome.

3. “Many voter district lines have been redrawn (better known as Gerrymandering) in order to assure that a particular senator or representative doesn’t have a snowballs chance in hell of having an honest race with real competition from the other party.” This has been going on since 1812. Every 10 years district lines are redrawn to reflect the change in population as defined by the census. If you think it is only Republicans Gerrymandering, you are sorely deluded. Democrats are just as good, if not better, at redrawing district lines to benefit their party while locking out the opposition. In fact it was Democrat Elbridge Gerry, governor of Massachusetts, who redistricted Massachusetts to benefit his party. This is where the term Gerrymander comes from.

4. “Some states cutting back on ‘Vote by Mail’.” No, states aren’t cutting back on absentee balloting (the so-called ‘vote by mail’). Where did you got this idea, out of thin air? What states are trying to do is to improve the system. There are two problems involved with absentee voting at pres-

voters: fraudulent ballots obtained by using someone else’s name; and absentee ballots not being sent in a timely fashion, which prevents them from being filled out and returned by the due date. This last one has been a problem for a long time and particularly for members of our armed services, denying them their constitutional rights, the very same rights they are protecting.

5. “Assigning ‘Poll Watchers’ to make sure that only people qualified to vote are able to cast their ballot.” You act as if this is something new. It is not. It has been around for a very long time, is not a partisan device, and is used in places where voting fraud has been a problem. In some cases poll watchers have been court-appointed in districts where rampant fraud and voter intimidation has affected elections. (Philadelphia’s 20th Ward during the 2012 election is but one recent example.)

Let me ask you the following, Bernadette: If voter ID is such a bad thing, then why do a large majority of the American people (75 percent) support it? This is according to a Washington Post poll run back in early August. (You can look it up yourself.)

You accuse the GOP of “trying to eliminate as many voters as they can”, yet all they really want to do is reduce the number of ineligible voters from committing voting fraud. How is that a bad thing?

The five things you listed as “evidence” of “borderline voter fraud on a massive level” are indicative of your ignorance of history as they have not been a GOP-only issue by any means.

They are not evidence of any wrongdoing by either party.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I must address your mistaken belief that the U.S. Supreme Court has gutted the Voting Rights Act. Only one part – Section 4 – was found to be no longer relevant and unconstitutional. It required only some states — not ALL states — to put forth to the Department of Justice any proposed changes to their election laws.

Why should such a provision pertain to only a few states and not the rest?

Back when the Voting Rights Act was passed (1964) some states had laws that made it difficult, if not impossible for black Americans to vote. The states listed in Section 4 were sanctioned in order to make sure that any changes in their election laws did not disfranchise eligible voters for any reason, and particularly race. Those states now have some of the highest voter turnout rates for minorities in the nation. So why did they still have to submit changes to election laws to the DOJ? That was the argument brought before the Supreme Court in Shelby County, Alabama v. Holder, Attorney General. This is 2013. Stop acting like we’re still stuck in 1963 and that Jim Crow still holds sway in the South. Or do you have so little faith that we’ve somehow managed to move past that part of our history and that minority voters will once again be locked out of the voting booth? If you do, then the problem is with you and not the rest of the nation, and certainly not the GOP. Dale Channing Eddy

TV show to focus on Belmont man who planned to blow up JFK in 1960 Last evening at the Belmont Public Library, Polly Murphy, Belmont Library Trustee Chair Mary Louise Charnley, and Assistant N.H. Department of Safety Commissioner Earl Sweeney discuss the story of Richard Pavlick — a former Belmont resident who might have have been the first American suicide bomber. In 1960 Pavlick stalked and nearly blew up President-Elect John Fitzgerald Kennedy while he was attending church in West Palm Beach, Florida. Murphy’s late husband, Tom, was the Belmont Postmaster at the time and he alerted the Secret Service and the FBI to Pavlick’s intentions. At the time, Sweeney was a volunteer sergeant with the Belmont Police Department.

The Murphy and Pavlick story is being featured on the Smithsonian Channel in an episode slated to appear on November 17 at 8 p.m. The episode was filmed in July at the Belmont Public Library. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Gail Ober)

Selectmen okay $3,400 project to stem erosion of Gilford town beach

BY GAIL OBER

GILFORD — Selectmen approved spending $3,400 last week for part of the Gilford Beach restoration project that will be spent on building a barrier to help prevent further beach erosion. Much of the beach is now down to hard-pack.

Parks and Recreation Director Herb Greene said the support will be on the left side of the beach as one faces the water.

The barrier is part of a project approved by selectmen in February to address the erosion issue. Greene said once completed it should cost about total about $11,315.

While the initial estimate was around $7,600, Greene said yesterday the previous estimate was before they decided to build the support, which will help prevent further damage.

Greene said Certified Erosion Control will install the support with the assistance of Belknap Landscaping Company, which handled all the state permitting, including a dredge-andfill permit from the N.H. Department of Environmental Service. He said the

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers agreed with the project.

Greene said yesterday that the goal is to finish the support before winter.

Next spring, he said, the town will spread about 13,500-square-feet of new beach sand.

When the project was discussed in February by selectmen, Greene explained that there hadn’t been any significant erosion control work done to the beach in at least seven years — the amount of time Greene had been the Parks and Recreation director.

He said that since 2005 there have been three “100-year” storms, including one in October of 2005 that dumped 20 inches of rain in parts of New Hampshire.

He said Gilford Beach also sees a great deal of wind erosion from Lake Winnipesaukee. The wind blows the sand into the trees, where it is mostly unrecoverable.

In March, voters supported adding $15,000 to the Recreation Facilities Capital Reserve Fund. Some of the money was spent resurfacing tennis courts.

SYRIA from page 2 rorist groups for using chemical weapons and said Russia has evidence supporting his position.

“We have evidence that the terrorist group has used sarin gas,” Assad said, adding that the evidence had been turned over to Russia.

“Second, the Russian satellite, since the beginning of these allegations at the 21st of August — they said that they have information, through their satellite, that the rocket (was) launched from another area. So why ... ignore this point of view?”

The interview was conducted Tuesday in the Syrian capital of Damascus by former Ohio Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich, a Fox News contributor, and Fox News Channel Senior Correspondent Greg Palkot.

The attack precipitated the crisis over Syria’s chemical weapons. The U.S. threatened a military strike against Syria, which led to a plan negotiated by Moscow and Washington under which the Assad regime is to abandon its chemical weapons stockpile.

A U.N. report released Monday confirmed that chemical weapons were used in the attack but did not ascribe blame.

The United States, Britain and

France cited evidence in the report to declare Assad’s government responsible. Russia called the report “onesided” and says it has “serious reason to suggest that this was a provocation” by the rebels fighting the Assad regime in Syria’s civil war.

Assad agreed, saying the scenario of the attack depicted in the report was unrealistic.

“So, the whole story doesn’t even hold together,” Assad said. “It’s not realistic.

So, no, we didn’t. In one word, we didn’t use any chemical weapons in Ghouta, because if you want to use it, you would harm your troops, you would have harmed the tens of thousands of civilians in Syria, in Damascus.”

The report, however, provided data that suggested the chemical-loaded rockets that hit two Damascus suburbs were fired from the northwest, indicating they came from nearby mountains where the Syrian military is known to have major bases.

Mount Qassioun, which overlooks Damascus, is home to one of Assad’s three residences and is widely used by elite forces to shell suburbs of the capital. The powerful Republican Guard and army’s Fourth Division, headed by Assad’s younger brother, Maher, has bases there.

Police say smashed windshield that was never fixed eventually led to arrest of alleged Gilmanton burglars

By Gail OBer

GILMANTON — One of the men charged with burglarizing a home in Gilmanton and removing all of the copper piping is also facing a charge of having unauthorized control of a handgun in Laconia.

According to court records, Christopher Poire, 25, who is formerly of Charles Street in Laconia, allegedly had the stolen weapon on May 2. He failed to appear in Belknap County Superior Court on September 11 and is scheduled to appear in that court tomorrow.

Poire is one of two men who is facing three counts of burglary for unlawfully entering a home at 1231 Province Road or Route 107 on three days in late August.

Also charged is Greg McGonigle, of Catamount Road in Pittsfield. McGonigle is also charged with one felony count of criminal mischief.

According to affidavits obtained from the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division, the two were apprehended by Gilmanton Police on Tuesday night after a investigation that was triggered when, on August 31, one of the theft victim’s neighbors tried to stop a car he believed was making a suspicious number of visits to the unoccupied home. The neighbor smashed the car’s windshield with a baseball bat as

it passed.

A week later, a Belmont Police officer noticed a car with a broken windshield on Union Avenue in Laconia and followed it to Academy Street, where it parked in front of a law office.

The driver of the car said he didn’t know anything about the burglaries and that Poire had let him use the car. The driver allegedly told the officer he had been told the car had been used in a “robbery” in Gilmanton.

The car was registered to McGonigle’s ex-wife and she told police that she never used it. She agreed to speak to police in the Pittsfield Police Department. She also showed police some text messages from McGonigle that said he was driving the car when the victim’s neighbor broke the windshield with a bat.

Both McGonigle’s agreed to a search of the car and police alleged they found five guitars and some antique items consistent with those reported stolen from the victim.

Police also traced some of the stolen items to various pawn shops in the Concord area and a scrap dealer identified McGonigle’s red truck that was allegedly used to remove the stolen copper.

Fourth Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll ordered both men held on $10,000 personal recognizance bail and $1,000 cash-only.

WARD 5 from page one Hall and asked for a copy of the results. Gammon, who along with his wife, cast write-in votes for Tardif for city council was troubled to discover no write-in votes were recorded and Tardif would not appear on the general election ballot.

Reynolds said that since the results were certified and the ballots sealed, the only way to address the situation would be for Tardif to request, in writing, a recount by the close of business on the first Friday after the election. Alternatively, she explained to Gammon that five registered voters could petition the New Hampshire Secretary of State to conduct a recount before the second Friday after the election or, failing that, petition the Superior Court to order a recount.

This week Gammon and Tardif requested and received a computer print-out of the election results, which showed three-write-in votes for the city council seat in Ward 5. Subsequently, Gammon received

a call from a voter, who said that she also cast a write-in ballot for Tardif.

Reynolds explained that the ballots are sealed before they leave the polling station and cannot be opened except in accordance with the statutes governing recounts. Without recounting the ballots there is no way of confirming the number of write-in votes that were cast or the identity of those whose names were in.

Tardif said yesterday that he understands the dilemma facing the clerk and expects five registered voters to petition the Secretary of State for a recount before the week is out. He said that Gammon is determined to ensure that his vote, along with those of any others who cast write-in ballots, are counted.

Asked if he will run against Hamel in the general election if a recount awards him a place on the ballot, Tardif replied “that’s a hard question. I’m not going to put my foot in my mouth until I’ve seen the ballots.”

FED from page 2 released its statement at the end of its two-day policy meeting. The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 147 points, or 1 percent.

The Fed’s decision to maintain the pace of its purchases raised hopes for lower rates on bonds and consumer and business loans. Bond yields sank. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.71 percent from 2.85 percent, the biggest one-day drop in nearly two years.

Since May, when Bernanke first signaled that the Fed could reduce its bond purchases this year, average rates on long-term fixed mortgages have climbed

more than a full percentage point to near two-year highs. The average on the 30-year mortgage is at 4.57 percent, according to Freddie Mac. There are signs that higher mortgage rates have made it harder for people to afford homes at a time when the rebound in the housing market has been a key pillar for the economy.

The Fed lowered its economic growth forecasts slightly for this year and next year. It predicts that the economy will grow just 2 percent to 2.3 percent this year, down from its forecast in June of 2.3 percent to 2.6 percent.

You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel LUCKY?’

Lucky Sanborn, 11 Months

Votes needed to win national online contest MOULTONBOROUGH — Jennifer Clifford, a pastry chef with Magic Foods Restaurant Group, is among six cooks in the northeast region vying for a place in the finals of the “Next Top Product” competition staged by U.S. Food Service, the second largest distributor of foodstuffs to the restaurant industry in the country.

When judges chose Clifford’s recipe for Silky Mascarpone Cheesecake with Chocolate Hazelnut Topping and Candied Hazelnuts from among 70 entries in the Boston region, she advanced to the next round against competitors from all six New England states, as well as New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.

“It’s a big deal,” Clifford said. “It’s going to put us on the map.”

The winner of the eight regional competitions, all selected by a popular vote conducted online, will travel to the Las Vegas where another panel of judges will pick the national winner.

Clifford urged all those who have enjoyed her deserts at the O Steak & Seafood in Laconia and Concord and the Canoe Restaurant & Tavern

in Center Harbor to cast a vote for her cheesecake on either the website (USFOODS.COM/NTP) or Facebook page of U.S. Food Service.

During her sophomore year at Moultonborough Academy, where she described herself as an enthusiastic athlete, Clifford spent a day shadowing the woman she calls “the master,” Donna Love, who with husband Mike owned and operated Love’s Quay Restaurant in Wolfeboro. “After one day she offered me a job,” said Clifford.

“As soon as I got my driver’s license I started work.” Clifford spent a decade with the Loves, including her last two years of high school, and in 2010 joined Magic Foods.

Clifford said that she developed the mascarpone cheesecake seeking to add a new twist to the traditional Italian cheesecake. It consists of a sugar cookie crust with mascarpone filling and chocolate hazelnut topping. She has her sights set on the finals in Las Vegas, where the winner will receive a $5,000 cash prize and their product will be distributed throughout the country. In addition, her employer will be awarded $15,000 to invest in improvements to its restaurants.

BUS/TRAIN from page 2 down the track,” Trepanier said.

But the driver didn’t slow down, said Rebecca Guilbeault, who was on the bus with her 1-year-old son.

“I don’t know if the bus driver blacked out,” she said. “I’ve seen a few people dead, someone ripped in half.”

Another passenger, Gregory Mech, said the train crossing has about a 90-degree bend and he didn’t think the driver saw that the signals were flashing and the barrier was down.

“The bus actually hit the train dead on,” Mech told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. “I could see that there were bodies on the train tracks. It was horrible.”

Passenger Romi Gupta, a 40-yearold office worker headed to her job in downtown Ottawa, boarded what she called the “overfull” bus at its last stop

before the crash.

“The driver was OK. I got in a minute before and I said hello to him and he was fine,” said Gupta.

Moments later, she looked out the window and saw the train headed straight for the bus.

“The bus was too fast, he could not put the brakes on,” she said. “It was crazy. People were flying. I saw limbs.”

Transit union president Craig Watson identified the driver killed in the crash as 45-year-old Dave Woodard. He said had been with the bus company for about 10 years.

Peyman Shamsi, a friend of Woodard who had started with OC Transpo 10 years ago, said he was “one of the nicest guys” at the bus company.

“I’m surprised because he was a safe driver,” Shamsi said. see next page

Driver strikes pole on Church Street LACONIA— A stretch of Church Street was closed to traffic for about half-an-hour Tuesday after a car struck a utility pole near the Genesis Behavorial Health building shortly before 7:30 p.m.

The driver, Rozanna Bushnell, 31, of Laconia, who was alone in the vehicle,

was transported to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Her car suffered severe frontend damage and air bags deployed.

Sergeant Al Graton of the Laconia Police said that Bushnell was not impaired, nor did excessive speed contribute to the accident.

HEROIN from page one had been incarcerated for two years in the Belknap County House of Corrections while awaiting trial, had maintained his innocence. He was represented by attorney Mark Sisti.

Earlier this week, and after the jury was picked for his trial for selling heroin — death resulting, Sisti learned that the Laconia Police were investigating a different person who had allegedly admitted on his Facebook page that he was the one who injected Denty with the heroin that killed her.

Sisti argued that the prosecution knew about the investigation seven weeks before Gonzalez’s trial but never told him there was potentially exculpatory evidence or a different theory of her death.

The prosecution dropped the charge for sales of heroin — death resulting, and decided to continue prosecuting him for only for sales of heroin. When one of the key witnesses against him, Karen Mekkelson, asked to be immunized for her role in Denty’s death, the prosecution’s case apparently unraveled.

Yesterday, the state made a verbal motion to change the day of the sale from March 30, 2011 to May 11, 2011.

Sisti argued that the change would indicate an entirely different crime and Belknap County Superior Court Judge James O’Neill agreed.

The prosecution dropped the final charge against Gonzalez and, as of yesterday afternoon, he was no longer in jail.

Gonzalez first became known to the public in 2011 when 22-year-old Denty was found dead of a heroin overdose by her neighbors on April 1. They said they heard Denty’s twoyear-old son crying inside their apartment and, when she didn’t respond to their knocks, instructed him on how to unlock the door.

Laconia Police investigated her death and arrested Mekkelson, 29, Stephen Marando, 43 and Amanda

Kelly, 31. All were charged with some role in supplying Denty with the heroin and all three pleaded guilty to drug-related charges. They are serving or have served sentences in the N.H. State Prison or the Belknap County House of Corrections.

Mekkelson has now filed a motion with the court asking that her conviction be set aside because she believes she was represented by “ineffective counsel” at the time she agreed to plead guilty.

The police said their investigation of the trio led them to a fourth person — Gonzalez — who was arrested by police in the parking lot at Vista Supermarket on September 1, 2011. He was charged with and later indicted on one count of sales of heroin — death resulting, and one count of sales of heroin. If he had been convicted, he faced the possibility of life in prison.

In an different case, Gonzales was indicted by a Belknap County grand jury for selling heroin on August 23, 2011 to a Laconia woman who was facing two counts of robbery in Gilford but who was working for Laconia Police in exchange for some consideration on the robbery charges.

Gonzalez’s first trial for selling heroin to the confidential informant began in October of 2012 and ended in a mistrial three days later after the jury foreman spoke with Judge James O’Neill in his chambers.

The second trial for allegedly selling heroin to the confidential informant lasted two days and ended with a notguilty finding after the jury deliberated for about an hour.

During the time he spent waiting in the Belknap County House of Corrections — he was being held in lieu of $100,000 cash-only bail — Gonzalez was involved in an altercation with two male prisoners. He agreed to plead guilty to assault on prisoners and was sentenced to time served.

from preceding page Woodard, who leaves behind a wife and teenage stepdaughter, had celebrated his birthday just the day before the accident, Shamsi said.

“It is a tragic morning in the nation’s capital,” Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said in a statement.

The bus was on a dedicated transit line that runs parallel to a busy commuter artery just outside the suburban train station of Fallowfield. The Transportation Safety Board said the train was traveling at a reduced speed because it was nearing a station and because of the crossing.

Via Rail crossings have long been a concern, according to the national Transportation Safety Board’s lead investigator, Glen Pilon, who said retrieving the black box recording was a priority to determine what went wrong.

“Our team will take the time

required to determine what happened.

This could take several months,” said Jean Laporte, the Transit Safety Board’s chief operating officer.

Canada has seen 257 accidents involving passenger trains colliding with vehicles at level crossings over the last decade, the safety board said Wednesday.

Trains striking cars or trucks at rail crossings occur “with unfortunate frequency,” said Grady Cothen, a former senior safety official with the U.S. Federal Railroad Administration.

Driver distraction or fatigue and poorly designed intersections all can be factors, he said.

In the U.S., buses are required to stop before proceeding through a railroad crossing, even if crossing gates are up and there is no signal indicating a train is coming, Cothen said.

CONCORD (AP) — A majority of a special panel voiced support Wednesday for expanding Medicaid to poor adults in New Hampshire but the details of what an expanded program would look like remain to be resolved.

The panel agreed New Hampshire would benefit from accepting $2.4 billion in federal funding over seven years beginning Jan. 1 under the federal health care overhaul law. Six of the nine members said New Hampshire should capture the federal money to provide health insurance to an estimated 49,000 poor adults.

It was equally clear that the group would like to find a way to rely on private insurance for as much as possible.

Panel Chairman James Varnum said New Hampshire can’t fund a program on its own.

“We need to partner with the federal government,” he said.

State Sen. Andy Sanborn, R-Bedford, remained skeptical.

“This commission has an obligation to prove to the people of New Hampshire if we do that that the money is well spent,” he said.

The group did not make any final decisions, and support for recommending that lawmakers expand Medicaid still depends on what the expansion would look like.

Some, like state Sen. Nancy Stiles, suggested expanding an existing program where the state pays an employee’s costs to remain on an employer’s private insurance plan. Stiles said she’d like that to be the first option instead of enrolling people into the existing Medicaid program.

Other could get coverage through government-subsidized private insurance in a new insurance marketplace being estab-

lished under the federal health care overhaul law, she said. Medicaid should be the last resort, she said.

Several also liked the idea of adopting a requirement that the program be reviewed either after a set number of years or if the federal government reneged on funding levels. Some thought the expansion should automatically be repealed if the federal government broke its promise.

The commission was established as a compromise in the budget debate.

Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan and the Democratic-led House wanted to authorize Medicaid expansion in the budget bill, but the Republican-led Senate insisted on establishing a commission to study the issue first.

The panel faces an Oct. 15 deadline to report to the Legislature.

States can choose to expand Medicaid as part of the new federal law, which would be implemented starting Jan. 1. That’s when an estimated $2.4 billion in federal funding the state would get over seven years would kick in. If New Hampshire were to expand the program, the federal government would pick up the full cost for the first three years and 90 percent over the long haul. States can withdraw from covering adults at any time.

New Hampshire’s current Medicaid program covers low-income children, parents with nondisabled children under 18, pregnant women, senior citizens and people with disabilities. The expansion would add anyone under age 65 who earns up to 138 percent of federal poverty guidelines, which is about $15,000 for a single adult.

Anthem officials explains realities of Obamacare insurance network to senators CONCORD (AP) — Less than two weeks before enrollment begins, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Hampshire continues to face questions and criticism about its limited provider network for those purchasing individual health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act. The new network will include 74 percent of the state’s primary care providers, 85 percent of specialists and 16 of the state’s 26 acute-care hospitals. And while concerns about access to care are magnified by the fact that no other company will be offering plans, Anthem can neither change nor fully correct for that, Anthem president Lisa Guertin told state senators Wednesday.

“What we’ve done as one insurer in the marketplace is create an offering that we really believe represents the best value and the best balance of access and affordability,” she said. “All a business like ours can do is seek to understand what the majority of consumers will be interested in and want and prioritize, and then develop something we believe best meets those needs.”

The main driver in selecting providers was geography, Guertin said.

When several senators complained that no Sullivan County hospitals are included in the network, she explained that the decisions were based on distances between consumers and hospitals, not on city or county

borders. More than 90 percent of the plans’ potential customers live within 20 miles of a network hospital, she said, though under the law, that distance could’ve been twice as far and still considered adequate.

Alvin Felgar, president of Rochester’s Frisbie Memorial Hospital, told Guertin it wasn’t fair that his hospital wasn’t even approached.

“This is a slap in the face to me,” he said. “I have to explain to the public why my hospital wasn’t chosen, when we do everything the state has asked.”

He and others questioned why Anthem didn’t give all hospitals a chance to participate. Guertin said doing so would’ve made it impossible to keep premiums low because the network hospitals agreed to reimbursement rate concessions in exchange for the promise of a certain volume of patients, she said.

Without those concessions, premiums would about 30 percent lower than they would otherwise, she said.

“Disruption is hard, change is hard, but one of the things I always get back to is: New Hampshire has the secondhighest insurance premiums in the country,” she said. “If we’re not willing to live with some disruption and some change, we’re never going to be able to improve that.”

TILTON TRAILER RENTAL Cutting the ribbon opening on Wednesday the newest addition to Lakes Region Community College’s Laconia campus are CCSNH Chancellor Ross Gittell, LRCC President Scott Kalicki, nursing program student Nicole Soucy, fire science student Tom Newman, CCSNH Trustee Chairman Paul Holloway, and LRCC Vice President Tom Goulette. (Alan MacRae/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

LRCC from page one pleted at a cost $6.4 million.

“There were lots of shoulders we stood on to get this building built,” said Scott Kalicki, president of LRCC, expressing his appreciation to Tom Clairmont, president and CEO of LRGHealthcare and Carmen Lorentz, executive director of the Belknap Economic Development Council for assisting with designing and equipping the nursing complex.

Ross Gittell, chancellor of the Community College System of New Hampshire agreed “it takes a partnership,” stressing that “everything we’re doing here is for our students.” He said that the college is playing a major role in developing the skilled workforce required to attract and retain businesses in the Lakes Region.

“This college changes people’s lives,” declared Paul Holloway, who chairs the Board of Trustees of the Community College System, “by offering opportunity and providing self-worth.” Turning to several elected officials at the ceremony, he asked for their “increased support,” adding “that means dollars.”

Tom Goulette, vice-president of LRCC, called the new space “a fantastic shot in the arm for our college.” The nursing program, which has operated in

a few rooms of the academic building, has moved to the lower floor of the new building. It features a skills laboratory with eight beds, outfitted as though they were in a hospital and occupied by “high fidelity” mannikins, whose vital signs and medical conditions can be manipulated with the touch of a finger to simulate a variety of scenarios. There will be sufficient space and equipment to enroll 32 students in the two-year nursing program each year.

The science suite consists of two rooms for biological sciences and one each for physics and chemistry.

The fire science program, the most popular offering on campus, has both a sprinklered training laboratory for controlled burns and a classroom. A multipurpose room with seating capacity for 140 people can be configured to provide a variety settings, including an auditorium.

Kalicki expects to be cutting another ribbon in the near future. He said that the 2013-2014 state budget includes $3.25-million for construction of a new building to house the automotive program at the college and design the renovation of the space it will vacate to accommodate the culinary arts program, which is now housed at Canterbury Shaker Village.

from preceding page choice of private health plans resembling what workers at major companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs they might qualify for.

Anthem will offer 11 plans across three so-called metal levels. Two will be gold plans with lower deductibles and higher monthly premiums, three will be silver plans and five will be bronze plans with higher deductibles and lower monthly premiums. It also will offer one catastrophic coverage plan that is available only to people under age 30.

Registration open for Poetry Out Loud program CONCORD — Registration is open for New Hampshire high schools wishing to participate in the 20132014 New Hampshire Poetry Out Loud program.

The deadline to register is November 1, 2013 and is limited to 40 high schools. Home-schooled students are also welcome to join through their local school or by creating a regional group.

Poetry Out Loud is a nationwide contest sponsored by the National Endowment of the Arts in partnership with the Poetry Foundation. The program encourages youth to learn about the beauty and power of language through memorization and performance of great poems. Participation in the program helps students master public speaking skills, build self-confidence and learn about their literary heritage.

Students in the Poetry Out Loud program are invited to select several poems to memorize and recite from an anthology, compiled by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Poetry Foundation, that represents the breadth of great poetry. Contestants are judged on several criteria, including physical presence, voice and articulation, dramatic appropriateness, level of complexity, evidence of understanding and overall performance.

Poetry Out Loud curriculum materials include the online poetry anthology, a comprehensive teacher’s guide, a DVD of national finals performances, lesson

plans, and promotional and media guides. Aspects of the program align with the new Common Core educational standards and therefore allow educators to tie into broad educational objectives.

In New Hampshire, the competitions begin at the high school level. Champions represent their high school at regional competitions; those winners participate in the state championship, which will be held in March 2014. The program provides support for the champions from each state travel to Washington, D.C., to compete in the National Finals, where a total of $50,000 in awards and school stipends is awarded.

Funds for Poetry Out Loud are provided by the National Endowment for the Arts to state arts agencies around the country. The N.H. State Council on the Arts manages New Hampshire’s program in partnership with the New Hampshire Writers’ Project. Other partners include the Poetry Society of New Hampshire, the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and the Frost Place.

Record turnout expected for Tanger Fit for a Cure 5K TILTON — The Fifth Annual Tanger Fit for a Cure 5K Run/Walk presented by AutoServ will be held Sunday, September 22 starting at 8:30 a.m. at Tanger Outlets.

A record 750 participants have already registered for the 5K and more are anticipated Sunday. Proceeds from this event will benefit breast cancer awareness initiatives/women’s imaging technology at LRGHealthcare.

Registration will take place from 7-8 a.m. Prior to the 8 a.m. start there will be a brief speaking cere-

mony featuring Tanger General Manager Eric Proulx; LRGHealthcare President & CEO Tom Clairmont; LRGHealthcare SVP of Administrative & Facilities Services Suzanne Stiles; and special guest speaker Pamela Ryan -- a 44-year old local resident who is undergoing treatment at LRGH (a Dana Farber-affiliated clinical trial) for recently diagnosed breast cancer.

The 5K will go off promptly at 8:30. The event will also offer educational booths, vendors, and a large pink ribbon for survivors and participants to sign.

PLYMOUTH — Acoustic Guitar Magazine listed David Wilcox as among the best of a brilliant crop of singersongwriters to emerge in the late 80s when the magazine awarded him a silver award in the singer/songwriter category. Wilcox will bring his smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, creative open tunings and light blues inflections to the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts at 8 p.m. Friday, David Wilcox (Courtesy photo) September 27.

Wilcox said in an interview with Mountain Xpress, “The song has to offer something universal. I want songs that people can understand the first time ... I write songs with layers in them so they stay interesting over the years.”

Wilcox is a poet and storyteller, “with a voice reminiscent of James Taylor and a husky breathiness more reminiscent of Nick Drake,” according to Acoustic Guitar. He has recorded 17 albums in a career marked by personal revelation, wildly loyal fans, and artists such as k. d. lang covering his songs. He has been featured five times in Performing Songwriter magazine.

Reflecting on more than 20 years of record making and touring extensively around the U.S. and internationally Wilcox says, “Music still stretches out before me like the head-lights of a car into the night.

It’s way beyond where I am, but it shows where I’m going. I used to think that my goal was to catch up, but now I’m grateful that the music is always going to be way out in front to inspire me.”

Tickets for David Wilcox’s performance at PSU are $35 for adults, $33 for seniors and $20 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869. Tickets are also available online at silver.plymouth.edu.

Children wishing to audition should familiarize themselves with the story and parents should come knowing children’s schedule conflicts for the audition sheet.

Pointless Forest presents Wharf Rats at Pitman’s Freight Room Saturday

Pointless Forests Presents: The Wharf Rats at Pitman’s Freight Room on September 21, with special guests, The Sweetbloods.

LACONIA — The creative minds that brought burlesque to Downtown Laconia are back together.

But this time, instead of sketch comedy and dance numbers, it’s a series of concerts featuring music by local musicians and songwriters.

Pitman’s Freight Room and The Pointless Forest, producers of the popular “Burlesque Night Live!” series, kick off its new “Pointless Forest Presents” series by featuring two groups of musicians that have been playing around the Lakes Region for many years. On Saturday, September 21, at 7:30 p.m., the husband-and-wife acoustic duo “The Sweetbloods” take the stage to start off the evening.

Phil and Janet Sanguedolce of Meredith blend their voices and acoustic guitars in a magical way that is reminiscent of the ‘60-s folk music heyday, but with an idiosyncratic set list featuring more modern and offbeat material.

After their set, the folk/rock/jam band “Wharf Rats” take over with two sets, featuring originals and obscure covers from the ‘60s and ‘70s, that are arranged and performed in a way that is equal parts eclectic and electric. Formed early last year and based in Lakeport, the Wharf Rats play a number of originals by singer/ songwriter (and Rats frontman) Peter Brunette, as well an ambitious selection of “traditional” folk/rock songs by artists such as the Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Van Morrison.

The two guitars, Brunette’s acoustic-electric Taka-

mine and the classic Stratocaster sound of Gilmanton’s Leighton Thomas’, rhythmically blend and ethereally twist through the numbers, while the rock solid drumming of Dennis McCarthy (Meredith) and extended bass figures of Kyle Nickerson (a resident of Gilford, and a regular fixture as a solo performer at Mame’s in Meredith) drive the polyrhythmic beat.

United Way Day of Caring in Lakes Region this Friday LACONIA — Granite United Way’s Central region will hold their annual day long service event, Day of Caring, on Friday, September 17.

The Day of Caring sponsor is AFL-Noyes of Belmont and a kickoff event will be held Friday at 8 a.m. at the St. André Bessette Gym, also known as Sacred Heart Parish Hall, at 31 Gilford Avenue, Laconia.

“Day of Caring continues to be one of our favorite days of the year,” said Patrick Tufts, President and CEO of Granite United Way, which merged with Lakes Region United Way in January 2013. “Mobilizing hundreds of volunteers for dozens of projects makes everyone feel great about the event. We are fortunate to have so many wonderful partners in this area and we look forward to helping our non-profit partners mark some things off of their ‘wish list.’ “ Volunteers throughout the region will be painting, office work, cleaning, organizing and everything imaginable at dozens of non-profits in the Laconia/ Plymouth/Tamworth areas on Friday.

Trio Veritas performing at Plymouth State University on Sunday afternoon PLYMOUTH — The Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance at Plymouth State University will present Trio Veritas at 1 p.m. Sunday, September 22 in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center for the Arts.

Joining Professor of Music Dan Perkins will be Ella Marie Gray, violin; Rodger Ellsworth, viola and Leo Eguchi, cello. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 40 represents turmoil. Shostakovich composed this sonata in 1934, just prior to the censure of music by Soviet authorities. This was also a period of emotional turmoil in the composer’s life, as he had fallen in love with a young student.

Their love affair resulted in a brief divorce from his wife, Nina. It was in August, during their period of separation, that Shostakovich wrote this cello sonata, completing it in a few weeks, according to Perkins.

Dvorak’s Quartet for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 87, speaks to beauty. “The quartet is an example of lush, post-romantic writing with soaring, singable themes,” Perkins says.

Dan Perkins is professor of music and director of choral activities at Plymouth State University where he was awarded the first Stevens-Bristow Distinguished Professorship. Perkins is music director of the New Hampshire Master Chorale and Chamber Orchestra, the Manchester Choral Soci-

ety and the New Hampshire Friendship Chorus. A former Fulbright scholar to Finland, he has been principal guest conductor of the Vietnam National Opera and Ballet, conductor of the Hanover Chamber Orchestra/Camerata New England, and interim conductor of the Dartmouth Handel Society.

Roger Ellsworth is on faculty in the Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance where he teaches string methods. He also teaches at St. Paul’s School and Concord Community Music School. Ellsworth is a native of Washington, D.C., and a graduate of the New School of Music and the North Carolina School of the Arts. He has had a distinguished career as a violist with some of the leading orchestras in the Washington, D.C., and San Francisco areas.

Ella Marie Gray has been a member of the New Hampshire Music Festival since 1982 where she has performed as a soloist and concertmaster. She is also

a member of the Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra and an artist-in-residence at the Santa Barbara Chamber Music Festival.

Leo Eguchi can be heard with Xanthos, a contemporary music ensemble in residence at Boston University. He is a founding member of the (fully collaborative) Kalistos Chamber Orchestra, assistant principal of the conductor-less Camerata New England, principal of the New Bedford Symphony, and a member of the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, the New Hampshire Music Festival and the Portland Symphony. He has made frequent appearances with the Boston Pops Esplanade, Rhode Island Philharmonic and Boston Lyric Opera Orchestras Tickets for Trio Veritas are $14 for adults, $13 for seniors and $11 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, (603) 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

Over 1 million Americans may have intolerance for gluten, a common ingredient in more foods than people may realize. Gluten is a protein found in all wheat, rye, barley, and oat products. The only medically acceptable treatment for gluten intolerance and Celiac Disease is to eliminate all gluten from the diet. Many people with other conditions may also benefit from a gluten and wheat-free diet, including Attention Deficit Disorder, Multiple Sclerosis, Lactose Intolerance, Autism, chronic fatigue, indigestion and malnutrition.

Wheat allergy is an abnormal immune system reaction to one or more proteins found in wheat. Allergy to wheat is one of the more common food allergies in children. Avoiding wheat is the primary treatment for wheat allergy. Wheat allergy is different from a disorder known as Celiac Disease, an immune system reaction that causes inflammation in the small intestines when a person eats any food containing gluten, one type of protein found in wheat.

So many people are discovering or being diagnosed with intolerance to wheat and gluten products.

Many of life’s culinary enjoyments are eliminated from their daily diet. People can learn to live without some of these things by replacing them with Wheat/ see next page

Meredith Library celebrates Banned Books Week 2013 MEREDITH — Did you know that since the year 2000, there have been 5,450 official attempts to remove books from school and public libraries across the United States? Over the past year alone, there were over 450 attempts in the U.S. to control what books and information you and your family have access to.

From classics like “To Kill a Mockingbird” and “The Great Gatsby,” to contemporary favorites like “Harry Potter” and “Captain Underpants,” few titles have been immune to the effects of attempted censorship.

The Meredith Public Library’s mission statement and core values lay out how the library and its staff are here “to provide fair and equal access for all... to knowledge in various media formats.” And it was with similar intent that Banned Books Week was founded in 1982, when public libraries, along with educators and book sellers from all over the country, began uniting during the final week of September to mount informative displays and host free-speech events in order to raise awareness for censorship in our country, both attempted and successful. Banned Books Week serves as a reminder for all Americans

that reading is not something that we should take for granted, and that censorship in any form is a dangerous act along the edge of a slippery slope.

This year, the Meredith Public Library is excited to have a variety of programs planned for Banned Books Week 2013, which takes place over the week of September 22-28.

The library will be kicking off the week by hosting a “Read-Out!” on Tuesday, September 24 from 3-4 p.m., when the public is invited to come in and read a passage from their favorite banned or challenged book. If you’d like, we’ll even be equipped to record your reading, and then upload it to the Banned Books Week Virtual Read-Out page on Youtube.com, where your video might get posted alongside anticensorship messages from authors like Judy Bloom, James Patterson, and Lauren Myracle.

Patrons of all ages are invited to participate in Banned Books Week events at the Meredith Public Library. More information on these and many other library events can be found on our website at Meredithlibrary.org, or by calling 279-4303.

Alternative process photographic images on display at New Hampton School, artist reception September 27 NEW HAMPTON — New Hampton School’s Galletly Gallery is featuring photographic images in alternative process by Northwood artist Scott Bulger now through October 12.

The public is invited to a reception for the artist on Friday, September 27, from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

In “Memento Mori”, or “Remember you will die”, Bulger’s large scale photographic images ask us to remember that we will all someday cease to exist, as will everything around us. “In examining our mortality and our uncertainties, and confronting them, hopefully our fear can be replaced with understanding. We exist for but a blink of an eye. The world is not about us, we are about the world.”

Bulger’s previous work has been displayed in many exhibits, published in text books, won numerous awards, and is included in many private collections.

In 2001, “A Portrait of the Yucatan “, a collection of photographs from Mexico was published. His second book, “Khronikos” was published in July, 2010.

Scott currently teaches “Photo I” and “Photo II” as an adjunct professor at NHTI, Concord Community College, and has previously taught “Introduction to Photoshop”. Before joining the faculty at NHTI, he taught “Black and White Darkroom” and “Introduction to Digital Photography” at Kimball-Jenkins School of Art in Concord.

The Galletly Gallery is located on the second floor of New Hampton School’s Moore Center. The gallery is open to the public Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. from preceding page Gluten-free ingredients and still enjoy pasta, pizza and crepes.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Finally, you’ll spend time with a comfortable person you so enjoy. It’s refreshing that you don’t have to jump through hoops or pretend to be who you’re not to get somewhere with this person.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Social niceties come easily to you, but you don’t always choose to use them. In today’s case, you sense it will be more effective to bluntly say what you mean.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You certainly don’t need validation now, and yet it’s still thrilling to hear favorable comments. The person who recognizes your uniqueness will also steal your heart.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 19). As levelheaded as you are, you still believe you can create an existence that’s entirely different from the one that surrounds you now -- and you’re right! The lucky place you land in October is just the beginning. Your concentrated, organized effort will continue through 2014.

By July, the transformation is complete. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 24, 12, 8, 6 and 26.

Today’s Birthdays: Author Roger Angell is 93. TV host James Lipton (“Inside the Actors Studio”) is 87. Actress Rosemary Harris is 86. Actor Adam West is 85. Singersongwriter Paul Williams is 73. Singer Bill Medley is 73. Singer Freda Payne is 71.

Actor Randolph Mantooth is 68. Rock singermusician Lol Creme is 66. Actor Jeremy Irons is 65. Actress Twiggy Lawson is 64. TV personality Joan Lunden is 63. Singer-producer Daniel Lanois is 62. Actor Scott Colomby is 61. Singer-actor Rex Smith is 58. Actor Kevin Hooks is 55. Actress Carolyn McCormick is 54. Country singer Jeff Bates is 50. Country singer Trisha Yearwood is 49. Actress-comedian Cheri Oteri is 48. Actress Sanaa Lathan is 42. Actress Stephanie J. Block is 41. Rock singer A. Jay Popoff is 40. Comedian and TV talk show host Jimmy Fallon is 39. TV personality Carter Oosterhouse is 37. Rock musician Ryan Dusick is 36. Actor Columbus Short is 31. Actor Kevin Zegers is 29. Actress Danielle Panabaker is 26.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). When it’s not going your way, you may feel like sulking, panicking, throwing a tantrum or making an impulsive move, but you don’t because you’re not a child. Your restraint will be rewarded.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Insecurity is only a habit, and habits can be broken. If you feel worry creeping in, have a talk with yourself. Confidence is also a habit, and you’ll fall right into it in tonight’s social setting.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As for that thing that was bothering you yesterday, today you’ll be feeling a lot smarter about things and more aware of the entire spectrum of possible solutions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Control is an illusion, not a solution to life’s problems.

Needing, craving and seeking control are all things that people do when they lack a deepseated confidence. You’re so attractive when you go the other direction.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You don’t have to know what you’re looking for to find a stellar deal. The best part is that when you stumble upon greatness, you recognize it and seize the opportunities therein.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll have the urge to create order, so follow through.

Taking the time to organize your world will bring stress levels down for you and for everyone you interact with from now through the weekend.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Beware of people who feel the need to describe themselves to you. You’ll come to your own conclusion about who someone is by the actions that person takes. Stories and preferences also provide good clues.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Spending time with children, creative people, entertainers and others who lack inhibition will inspire you to freely shed a few layers of self-consciousness and have fun.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have that “wow” factor now, and people will want to hear more about what’s going on in your life and business. Take numbers so you can follow up later when you have more time.

Yesterday’s Answer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 19, 2013— Page 25

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 19, the 262nd day of 2013. There are 103 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 19, 1982, the smiley emoticon was invented as Carnegie Mellon University professor Scott E. Fahlman proposed punctuating humorously intended computer messages by employing a colon followed by a hyphen and a parenthesis as a horizontal “smiley face.” :-) On this date: In 1777, the first Battle of Saratoga was fought during the Revolutionary War; although the British forces succeeded in driving out the American troops, the Americans prevailed in a second battle the following month.

In 1796, President George Washington’s farewell address was published.

In 1881, the 20th president of the United States, James A. Garfield, died 2 1/2 months after being shot by Charles Guiteau; Chester Alan Arthur became president.

In 1934, Bruno Hauptmann was arrested in New York and charged with the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. In 1945, Nazi radio propagandist William Joyce, known as “Lord Haw-Haw,” was convicted of treason and sentenced to death by a British court.

In 1957, the United States conducted its first contained underground nuclear test, code-named Rainier, in the Nevada desert.

In 1959, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev, visiting Los Angeles, reacted angrily upon being told that, for security reasons, he wouldn’t get to visit Disneyland.

In 1960, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, in New York to visit the United Nations, angrily checked out of the Shelburne Hotel in a dispute with the management; Castro ended up staying at the Hotel Theresa in Harlem.

In 1961, Barney and Betty Hill, a New Hampshire couple driving home from vacation, experienced what they later claimed under hypnosis was a short-term abduction by extraterrestrials.

In 1962, the Western TV series “The Virginian” debuted on NBC. In 1970, the situation comedy “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” debuted on CBS-TV. In 1985, the Mexico City area was struck by a devastating earthquake that killed at least 9,500 people.

Five years ago: Struggling to stave off financial catastrophe, the Bush administration laid out a radical bailout plan calling for a takeover of a half-trillion dollars or more in worthless mortgages and other bad debt held by tottering institutions.

Relieved investors sent stocks soaring on Wall Street and around the globe.

One year ago: Members of Congress presented the Congressional Gold Medal to Myanmar democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi (ahng sahn soo chee) in a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda. The Justice Department’s internal watchdog found fault with the agency’s handling of a gun-trafficking probe in Arizona that resulted in hundreds of weapons turning up at crime scenes in the U.S. and Mexico. The inspector general’s report referred more than a dozen people for possible disciplinary action for their roles in Operation Fast and Furious.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I’m dating a divorced man with five children, two of whom still live with their parents in a shared-custody arrangement. The divorce was very bitter, and she put him into bankruptcy. She is a spendaholic and not a pleasant person to be around, always making herself the wronged party.

We put up with her at all functions that include the kids -- school sports, birthdays and things like that. But now she insists on inviting herself to functions with my boyfriend’s extended family.

When is it appropriate to tell her, “Stop inviting yourself.

You are divorced from this family”? After all, my boyfriend is never invited to her family functions. Neither of us wants her at these events, but my boyfriend is afraid that if he says anything to her, it will hurt the kids.

I am so tired of all her involvement. How can we bond with his family as a couple if she’s always there? I’m having a hard time with this. I think he needs to tell her to knock it off. They are divorced. That means they are no longer a couple. She has her own boyfriend, by the way, although she doesn’t do much with him. -- B.H. Dear B.H.: We caution you not to make demands on your boyfriend, because it puts you between him and his children, which is not a good place to be. Instead, discuss the situation calmly. If he is determined to allow his ex to attend family functions (and his family doesn’t throw her out), let it be. At some point, those children will be out of the house, and he will worry less about how this affects them. Your decision is how long you are willing to graciously tolerate this situation.

Dear Annie: Please explain the difference between a woman who is the victim of verbal abuse and one whose behavior

is so annoying that her husband can’t help criticizing her.

My husband has been yelling at me and putting me down for 50 years, but when he’s not angry, he can be quite loving.

He says the proof that his bad moods are my fault is that he isn’t angry when I’m not around. I tell him that my friends and family never pick on me, and he says that’s because they’re as nutty as I am.

I’ve always believed I could control the way my husband treats me if I just tried harder, but as soon as I open my mouth, he’s on my case. If I remain silent, he accuses me of pouting.

I feel as if I can’t win, no matter what I do. I want to change, but don’t know how. -- Tired of Being the Whipping Girl Dear Tired: The signs of verbal abuse include: a spouse who calls you names; who is critical, sarcastic or mocking in an effort to humiliate or embarrass you; who yells or swears at you; who uses threats to intimidate you; who blames you for his behavior; who dismisses your feelings. From your letter, we easily see three or four of those signs. We don’t know what you want to do about this after 50 years, but we strongly recommend counseling -- for you, if not for both of you together. You’ve put up with this abuse much too long.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “N.D. Rose,” the 73-yearold who thought learning new computer skills was too difficult. Next month, I will be 89 years old, and if I didn’t have my computer, I’d be lost. There is only so much knitting one can do.

I use email, place online orders, do most of my banking and bill paying, watch some streaming programs, plus spend a few minutes a day on Facebook keeping in touch with friends from as far back as grade school. -- Never Too Old To Learn

bring this important program to the Lakes Region.

“As a Pediatrician safety education is a very important focus. If we can make the public aware of how dangerous distracted driving is, we can save lives,” explains Petterson. “No conversation is worth losing your life, or taking the life of another. Let your voicemail pick up your call, or pull over to talk. We hope Jennifer Smith’s message will resonate to help keep everyone safe on the road.”

“The evening with Jennifer Smith will be an opportunity to open a dialogue on talking and texting while driving,” states Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams.

“Distracted driving is a national epidemic that kills thousands each year. Our hope is to educate our friends and neighbors, encouraging them to hang up and drive, in order to save lives on our roadways.”

For more information on the Hang Up & Drive presentation please call the Office of Public Relations & Marketing at LRGHealthcare at 527-2895 or visit www.jennifersmith-distracteddriving.com.
