REGISTER OF PROBATE Paid for by Belknap Republican Committee, Barbara Luther, Treasurer

LACONIA — The Police Department earned praise yesterday for a year-long effort in the Wyatt Park area of the South End, which has enabled resi-dents there to feel that they are once again in con-trol of their own neighborhood.

‘’People feel empowered,’’ Laconia Mayor Michael Seymour told the Police Commission after it viewed a presentation of the Problem Oriented Polic-ing (POP) project in the Wyatt Park neighborhood

Mayor applauds police for Wyatt Park workwhich has been underway since last September,

Lieutenant Rich Simmons said that POP was instituted after numerous complaints from residents of the area about quality of life issues ranging from suspicions of alcohol and drug-related crime, to late night noise and rowdyism, littering and speeding and traffic violations.

He said that a team consisting of himself, Sergeant Gary Hubbard, Detective Scott Roy and Officer Michael Armstrong, started out by designating Wyatt

GILFORD — The Budget Committee approved the select-man’s recommended decrease in the town’s legal budget last night after learning the bud-geted amount for 2013 will drop by 39.3 per-cent from the amount budgeted for 2012.

The budgeted amount for 2013 is $37,000 which is a retainer for Donahue, Tucker and Ciandella of Meredith. Last year’s amount was $51,000.

Town Administra-tor Scott Dunn said the retainer is lower and he anticipates the town will need less legal services but the fee schedule is lower.

He explained that right now the town pays the Mitchell Municipal Group of Laconia $1,400 a month for unlimited phone calls. The new contract with Donahue et al is $975 monthly for six hours of infor-mation.

MOULTONBOR-OUGH — When the Lakes Region Tea Party hosted Senator Jeanie Forrester, the incumbent Republi-can seeking re-elec-tion in District 2, this week the only fire-works were sparked by the smattering of Democrats among the three dozen or so people gathered in the town library.

The meeting closed with Forrester and Tim Carter, the chair-man of the group, discussing the impor-tance of compromise. The senator told of visiting with fourth grade class at the Hebron-Bridgewater Village School. She said that she divided the class into two groups, one represent-ing the House and the other the Senate, and designated one pupil as governor. She than asked each to choose a desert. When they differed, they approached the gov-ernor, who suggested a settlement. Asked how they resolved their differences, one pupil answered “com-promise.”

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A judge ruled Thurs-day that cheerleaders at an East Texas high school can display ban-ners emblazoned with Bible verses at foot-ball games, saying the school district’s ban on the practice appears to violate the students’ free speech rights.

District Judge Steve Thomas granted an injunction requested by the Kountze High School cheerleaders allowing them to continue dis-playing religious-themed banners pending the out-come of a lawsuit, which is set to go to trial next June 24, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said. Thomas previously granted a temporary restraining order allow-ing the practice to con-tinue.

School officials barred the cheerleaders from displaying banners with religious messages such as, “If God is for us, who can be against us,” after the Freedom From Religion Founda-tion complained. The advocacy group says the messages violate the First Amendment clause barring the gov-

MANCHESTER (AP) — President Barack Obama told supporters in swing state New Hampshire Thursday that rival Mitt Romney “took another swing” and “whiffed” when asked during a debate how he’d pay for his tax cut plan.

Surrounded by brilliant fall foliage and a crowd of about 6,000 fans in Manches-ter’s Veterans Park, the president stuck to the same energized line of attack he’s taken since the debate Tuesday night. He accused Romney of failing to explain how he would pay for the cuts without adding

In Manchester, Obama says Romney whiffed tax plan questionto the deficit or shifting the tax burden to the middle class and of trying to sell voters on a “sketchy deal.”

“He took another swing at it, and he whiffed,” Obama said. “Instead of telling us how he’d pay for it, he said, ‘I’ll let you know after the election.’ And then when I asked him about it, he said, ‘I’m a business man, I know the numbers will work.’

“I’m gonna let you in on a little tip — when a politician tells you that he’s going to wait until after the election, it’s not because their plan is so good, they don’t

want to spoil the secret,” Obama said.Romney is proposing to cut all income

tax rates by 20 percent, eliminate the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax, and maintain and expand tax breaks for investment income. He says he would pay for his plan by reducing or eliminating tax deductions, exemptions and credits, but hasn’t specified which ones. His campaign cites studies by conservative academics and think tanks that say the plan will spur economic growth, generating enough addi-

LACONIA — “Who we send to Washington does matter,” Congress-man Frank Guinta told the Laconia Rotarians yesterday. Then the first term Republican, asked “who will be at the table respecting different points of view and finding common ground?”

Although fresh from debating his Democratic rival Carol Shea-Porter in a heated contest in the 1st Con-gressional District, Guinta tempered the tone of his campaign in his mid-day appearance at the Belknap Mill while acknowledging that voters face “pretty clear choices, particularly in my election.”

Rather than speaking of Republi-cans and Democrats, Guinta consis-tently referred to the House and the Senate and relied on his listeners to distinguish between the first, where Republicans enjoy a commanding majority, and the second, where Dem-ocrats hold a narrow edge. “Republi-cans and Democrats don’t hate each other,” he said of the House. “We all get along.”

A bipartisan tone to Guinta’s speech to Laconia Rotarians

Guinta said that the House has begun to take steps to reduce spend-ing and adopted bills to address the nation’s highways and ensure veter-ans’ benefits, noting that all three ini-tiatives had bipartisan support.

In response to a question, Guinta also stressed that the House was pre-pared to address the so-called “fiscal cliff”, the threat that impending tax increases approaching $500-billion and spending cuts — “sequestra-tion” — near $100-billion, evenly divided between domestic programs and defense expenditures, will tip the economy back into recession come January. He warned that the reduc-tions in defense spending would elim-inate 4,000 jobs in New Hampshire as well as jeopardize the future of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, the closure of which he said would be “a disaster.”

The House, Guinta said, voted to extend the current tax rates and to offer “a menu” of spending cuts exceed-ing $100-billion, only to be rebuffed by the Senate. He did not mention that

Today, for the fi rst time, I am offi -cially notifying the honchos of Bain Capital, Blackstone Group, Carlyle Group, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts and other big-time private equity funds that I am available. My little company, Saddle Burr Productions, can be had. For a price.

I publish this notice in response to a recent news item revealing that these fi rms have a unique and perplexing problem: They have too much money on hand. In all, they’re holding a cool trillion dollars that super-rich speculators, banks and others have entrusted to them. Private equity funds are corporate predators that borrow huge sums from these richies, using the cash to buy-out targeted corporations, dis-mantle them and sell off the parts to make a fat profi t for the investors and themselves.

However, in these iffy economic times, these fl ush funds have hesi-tated to do big takeovers, so they’ve just been sitting on all that money (which the predators refer to as “dry powder”). The problem is that, under the rules of this high-stakes casino game, the fi rms have to spend their borrowed money by a set time — or give it back. And the clock is ticking.

So, using Wall Street’s macho lingo, the big players have announced that they’re now ready to go “elephant hunting” and are prepared to fi re big bucks to bag some companies. To which I say: Fire away at Saddle Burr Productions!

OK, my company is hardly an ele-phant. But maybe it could be what the equity hucksters refer to as a “hot potato.” That’s what they call it when one fund grabs a company just to sell it to another fund, which might pass it off to yet another.

This year, equity fi rms are expected to spend more than $22 billion selling hot potatoes to each other — in part, just to move cash out the door so they don’t have to give it back.

This is what passes for good busi-ness sense in the truly screwy world of private equity. It’s just churning money, producing absolutely noth-ing — except, of course, huge fees for the churners. But if that’s the game, hey, put me in the mix.

A billion dollars sounds about right.Executives in private equity fi rms

— such as Mitt Romney of Bain Capital and Henry Kravis of Kohl-berg Kravis Roberts — tend to be peacocks who think quite highly of themselves.

Jim Hightower

Dirty little secrets of private equity profi ts

Fanning their splendid tail feath-ers, they unabashedly claim to be the ultimate free-enterprise risk-takers — worth every dime of the multimillion-dollar paychecks they award themselves each year. Excuse me, but the risks by these self-anointed “heroes of the market” are actually taken with other people’s money, not their own. That’s quite a bit short of heroic. But here’s a reve-lation that really ruffl es their feath-ers: It seems they’ve been hauling in their massive profi ts not by bold and savvy competition in the mar-ketplace, but through old-fashioned fi nancial collusion with each other.

An antitrust civil lawsuit fi led in federal court against 11 of the big-gest equity fi rms includes internal e-mails in which they agree not to compete. In 2006, for example, the head of Blackstone sent an e-mail to the co-founder of KKR: “We would much rather work with you guys than against you. Together we can be unstoppable, but in opposition we can cost each other a lot of money.” The KKR honcho happily e-mailed back a one-word response: “Agreed.”

Collusion, of course, perverts the marketplace they pretend to worship, artifi cially lowering the market price they’d otherwise pay. And they are not shy about playing this mutual backscratching game. In the 2008 takeover of the giant HCA hospital chain, KKR expressly asked its market rivals “to step down on HCA” and not bid. Agreeing to this blatantly illegal collusion, one rival wrote in an e-mail: “All we can do is do unto others as we want them to do unto us. It will pay off in the long run.”

For his part, Romney insists that any collusion by Bain occurred after he left the fi rm. “He had no role,” says a spokeswoman. Well, none besides pocketing the loot. Docu-ments from the lawsuit show that Romney clearly received millions in profi ts from deals that Bain appears to have made through its collusion in the grand game of market manip-ulation. If so, can we expect him to return those ill-gotten gains?

LETTERSConservatives need to take lesson in relevant economic history

Write to: news@laconiadailysun.com

To the editor,When a serious economic disaster

confronts our country, most Americans expect their government to act and cor-rect the situation. Ironically, an emer-gency situation also brings out those who contend the government is inca-pable of rendering any assistance and we should just let the “business market” make its own correction.

Today, on CNBC-TV I heard a number of business leaders and com-mentators say the government has no business trying to interfere in busi-ness. They contend we should have just let General Motors fail, the banks fail, and intensify the foreclosure pro-cess. They also advised, “The Euro-pean Union should let Greece, Spain, and Italy go bankrupt and the natu-ral market will sort things out.” Joe Curnan of CNBC added, “Yes, we have to cleanse the system.”

As a voter who understands the importance of business in our society, I view this philosophy as both short-sighted and suicidal. If we actually followed this thinking, it would lead to a world depression that could even surpass what happened in the 1930’s. President Herbert Hoover, when con-fronted with a crumbling economy, asserted, “Economic depression cannot be cured by legislative actions or execu-tive pronouncement. Economic wounds must be healed by the action of cells of the economic body — the producers and consumers themselves.”

Under this “do nothing” strategy, unemployment climbed to 12 million

or 25-percent of the workforce and the economy ground to a halt. Without exaggeration, people fought over food in garbage dumps and slept in rain barrels. Nonetheless, Hoover never changed his philosophy, claiming, “The diffi culties of the country demand undi-minished efforts toward economy in all government expenditures, whether national, state or local.”

Fortunately, Franklin Roosevelt was inaugurated in 1933 and in four years of massive government spending, low-ered unemployment by over 50-percent to 12-percent. Everyone was feeling that we were “out of the woods” and Roosevelt thought it was time to cut government programs and work on eliminating the debt. Guess what hap-pened? The fragile economy dropped again to 25-percent unemployment with 12 million again unemployed.

The current Federal Reserve Chair-man Ben Bernake, a Republican econo-mist in the mold of Allen Greenspan, is one of the most knowledgeable experts on the Great Depression and knows we can learn much from our past economic his-tory. But these business types on CNBC are convinced they know more about the economy. They cite economic theory emanating from conservative think tanks, MBA programs and corporate boardrooms for their views. I believe they should take a lesson in relevant economic history before they spread dangerous and destructive theories that could devastate the world economy.

New District 2 communities will get same attention from JeanieTo the editor,

Senator Jeanie Forrester has been a true breath of fresh air. She’s a leader, not a politician and she always, always follows through — giving us straight, honest answers.

Jeanie has made it her mission to know as much as she can about the new towns that are now part of Dis-trict 2 (Wilmot, Hill, Danbury, Grafton, and Tilton). She’s taken the time to visit with me to learn about the work I do. Jeanie has actively engaged law enforcement — attending legislative briefi ngs, seeking input on legislation and doing all she can to better under-

stand and represent law enforcement.She’s also visited the Merrimack County

Nursing Home, been in the local parades, held events to meet voters, and knocked on hundreds of doors in the new towns.

I have no doubt that the newest communities to District 2 will receive the same active attention that all the other communities have received from Jeanie in the last two years. I hope you will join me in supporting Jeanie as your Senator and vote for her in the November 6th election.

LETTERSYou and I won’t be asking ‘Doctor’ Dawson for medical adviceTo the editor,

It appears that that few candi-dates are interested in joining me during my radio program to intro-duce themselves to the voters and answer questions of their positions on the important issues. This Saturday Kevin Leandro and Herb Vadney will join me at 8:05 and I am expecting Bob Greemore and Colette Worsman to join me as well.

There is a “Dr.” Tom Dawson who frequently writes and is critical of conservative Republicans. When I do read a response one can hear that burning question of who and what kind of doctor he is? A Google search tells us this: “Dr. Thomas W. Dawson is a retired college professor of Fire Science from the New Hamp-shire Community Technical College in Laconia and a retired fire protec-tion consultant. He is a former state fire marshal of New Hampshire and assistant to the fire chief in Hous-

ton, Texas. Dr. Dawson completed his undergraduate and graduate work at Oklahoma State University. He and his wife, Cathy, live in Laconia in the heart of the Lakes Region of central New Hampshire in the northeastern United States. Tom is a member of the Steam Automobile Club of Amer-ica (SACA), and an active member in the Northeast Chapter of SACA, and a supporting member of the Stan-ley Museum. He is a member of the Steam Car Club of Great Britain and also a member of The Profile Auto-mobile League and the International Cadillac LaSalle Club.”

I was pleased to read two brief let-ters Wednesday from Tyler Simpson and Wayne Stottlar. Participate, no time to sit on the sidelines. America is too important to allow those who want to change it, to be the only ones talk-ing/writing.

Lakeport Freighthouse Museum will open to public on Nov. 3To the editor,

The Lakeport Community Associa-tion (LCA) added chrysanthemums by the newly-installed monument hon-oring the memory of Wanda Tibbetts on the northwest corner of Union Avenue and Elm Street in Lakeport Square. The LCA depends on their yard sales to fund most of the rehabil-itation of the Lakeport Freighthouse Museum. After their yard sale on Saturday, October 13, members were disappointed to notice that two potted mums, one cranberry and one rust col-ored, were missing.

Tibbetts, who ran her own beauty shop on Elm Street for years was one of the founders of the LCA and a beloved president. She died February 2, seven

months shy of her dream to turn a dilapidated own railroad building into a museum. After 15 years of tireless work, the LCA will open the Lakeport Freighthouse Museum, 15 Railroad Avenue (off Elm Street) to the public on Saturday, November 3, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

And once again, LCA members have decorated Torrey Park in Lakeport Square and drivers may wave back to Henrietta and her scarecrow family.

The association always welcomes new donations and new members. It meets the first and third Tuesday at 7 p.m. each month at the Lakeport Freighthouse Museum. Call 524-7683 for more information.

Jeanie Forrester is hardest working senator in a long, long timeTo the editor,

I am proud to endorse Jeanie For-rester for her re-election bid to the State Senate District 2 seat. Senator Forrester has been an outstanding representative for her constituents in the two years that she has served.

Jeanie has made it her mission to know as much as she can about the Senate District 2 area so that she can be a true servant leader. Her mission started the day she decided to run and has continued throughout her service as our senator. She has visited the county jails and nursing homes (Belknap, Grafton and now Merri-mack), and has spent extensive time learning about the mechanics of the Grafton County Drug Court. Jeanie has talked with the county attor-

neys, police chiefs and sheriffs and attended their legislative briefings. Jeanie has sat through court hearings to gain more knowledge of the judicial system. She has participated in vari-ous law enforcement ride-alongs to better understand and represent law enforcement.

Jeanie is a “hands-on” senator. Her “passion” is serving her constituents to the best of her ability. She is the hardest working senator I have met in a long, long time. Her service to our District is second to none. I encourage everyone to join me on November 6th and VOTE for JEANIE FORRESTER. Thank you!!

LETTERSLaconia’s Masonic Lodge hosting open house on SaturdayTo the editor,

Saturday, Oct. 20 will bring a state-wide open house for all Masonic Lodges in New Hampshire. As Master of the Laconia Lodge, I invite all to come tour and visit our Lodge, located at 63 Court Street, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Below is a condensed version of a paper delivered by Wayne T. Adams at the Convocation of the Maine Masonic College in Bangor on July 16, 2000 and published in “The Northern Light” Masonic magazine in August 2011:

“Looking back over more than three centuries of Freemasonry, I have come to the conclusion that Masonry’s periods of greatest expansion have occurred when two things happen: first, when Masonry speaks to the individual needs and aspirations of a large number of men; Second, when Masonry speaks to the collective needs and aspirations of society as a whole. How does Masonry speak? It speaks by doing three things: affirming

values, building relationships and strengthening communities.

There are two broad categories of values taught in Masonry. There are the components of an individual belief system: a personal philosophy which we hope to live by and pass on. Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth; the theological virtues: Faith, Hope and Charity; and what we call the cardi-nal virtues: Temperance, Fortitude, Prudence and Justice. Each one of us is a work in progress, ever striving for a quality which we can never quite

attain, ever struggling against the temptation to backslide, and ever con-fident that improvement is an aim worthy of our lifelong effort.

The second category of Masonic values are the civic virtues of equality, freedom and toleration. These values spring from the Enlightenment think-ing of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Those Masons were radical thinkers in their own time. Indeed, they were thought subversive by the political and ecclesiastical establish-ment of the time. They were so sub-versive that they took cover in an organization that professed to be nothing more than the continuation and veneration of the work ethic of the ancient and honorable guilds of stonemasons.

We reflect on these tasks – so firmly enjoined on us – and realize that they served as the founding principles not only of this fraternity but of our nation as well. It is important to remember that the United States was the first nation founded on a set of principles.

I believe there is a general aspira-tion in America to temper the extrem-ist rhetoric and to see how we can bring people together to build the kind of country we want to have. Further, I believe that any movement or organi-zation which espouses those goals is going to be attractive to people.

Our personal belief system, our lodges and our nation are always a work in progress. We have an opportu-nity to be a part of that work — affirm-ing values, building relationships and strengthening communities at a time when our country never needed those things more urgently.

Would be a shame to give Romney chance to ruin this countryTo the editor,

Mitt Romney’s only purpose appears to be the making of more money. As the election gets closer the more we find out about this selfish man. He owns a large percent of Sensata Com-pany of Freeport, IL but Bain wants to move it to China along with 175 jobs. Romney might have some say in the matter but it’s another $100,000 for Romney.

Making money is the main thing he is good at. His campaign speeches, both public and private, make him hard to analyze. He is the master of the Etch-A-Sketch. The 47-percent speech is price-

less as it shows the real Romney.He will try to exploit the Middle

East crisis just as he tried to do with the men who died there. Like the phony Ryan soup kitchen photo-op where he was caught washing clean dishes Romney will distort anything he can and to any extent he can. His views on abortion, taxes, immigration and people change daily. Now that he has most of the Bush advisors you will see him using most of the Bush poli-cies. It would be a shame to give him a chance to ruin this country.

Senator Forrester gives me hope that politicians can do goodTo the editor,

I do not usually write letters like this, but recent articles and letters I have read prompted me to respond. For the last two years I have served as selectman in the town of Tilton. Senator Forrester is not currently the representative for this district. In this time, I have seen her over and over again in Tilton — discussing her positions, offering her assistance and talking with us about our efforts to put more vitality into our downtown. I have come to know how she goes about her duties and what she does to advocate for the residents of our

towns and of this state.I would be proud to go on record as

supporting Jeanie’s bid for re-election. Although I do not agree with all of her positions, I am fully supportive of what she does for the residents of the district. She is the person who gives me hope that politicians can do good, well intentioned work for their constit-uents. I urge anyone who reads this to cast your vote for the person who has demonstrated their honesty, integrity and commitment to the people of New Hampshire. Vote for Jeanie Forrester.

LETTERS Merrill believes declining school population her biggest challenge? Keep believing Democrats are all saints & we’ll stay in this messTo the editor,

I’m compelled to respond to the letter from Lisa Merrill. She obvi-ously has her facts from a bad source and they are being repackaged to the public in a misleading fashion.

As one of the drafters of the Educa-tion Tax Credit bill, let me explain that the funding for the program comes from business donations to a non-profit schol-arship organization. It’s not magic. The business receives a tax credit for donat-ing, much the same as any individual qualifies for a tax deduction when they donate to a charity like the United Way.

Once the scholarship is granted and the student leaves their assigned public school to attend any school their parent believes may better fit their educa-tional needs, the money situation works exactly the same as currently. When-ever a student leaves the public school for any reason, the state adequacy fund-ing eventually drops. We wouldn’t want state tax dollars to be spent teaching an empty chair, correct? The same will happen when a student leaves with a scholarship EXCEPT the school district has a budget protection cap. The bill states a district can’t lose more than 1/4 of 1 percent of its total budget in state adequacy, regardless of the number of

students who leave. Ms. Merrill’s letter hinted that hundreds of children would leave her district and the school would lose millions. If hundreds want to leave her schools maybe “why?” should be her first question; but secondly, she should ask why her School Boards Associa-tion or the DOE seemingly hasn’t fully explained the cap feature to her. Can they survive with 99.75-percent of their budget teaching many less students? I suspect they can.

Finally, I am shocked, that with less than one-half of all graduating students successfully doing college preparatory work, Ms. Merrill says she feels that declining population is her “most seri-ous challenge”. REALLY? In general, the school administrators I’ve talked to tell me that it’s time all children regard-less of economic status have the same choices for education that rich people have always had. I’m continually sad-dened when I hear board members wanting to chain students to their desks in their assigned school simply to keep the flow of state money rather than accepting the possibility that the parent might know what is best for their child.

Andrew Hosmer spent $30k in primary running against no oneTo the editor,

It seems to me that if you want to see how a candidate for public office will spend public funds, take a look at the way in which they spend the money they raise during the campaign. Democrat Andrew Hosmer raised over $50,000, and spent approximately $30,000 in the primary, in which he ran unopposed. Hosmer has, at every turn, tried to use his families wealth, as well as numerous and plentiful PAC dona-tions by large unions and other special interest groups, to buy the election.

In contrast, Josh Youssef ran a hotly contested primary on a hair string budget

of less than $3,200, and won despite being outspent 4:1 by his opponent.

To directly compare Mr. Youssef and Mr. Hosmer: Youssef spent $3,200 in a hotly contested primary which he won decisively. Hosmer spent over $30,000 to run in an uncontested pri-mary. A spending ratio of nearly 10:1, with Youssef achieving much more with every dollar spent. So when candidates claim to be frugal spend-ers, check if they’ve put their money where their mouth is.

To the editor,Since everything The Daily Sun

prints, now to election day, is about the candidates, let’s see if you dare print this piece.

Because you the voter throws away your vote by voting for the party, let’s see how you explain this to your chil-dren by passing on to them higher taxation and less money in their pock-ets. Here is your history lesson, and you can check it out for yourself. . . this does not matter if you are Democrat or Republican . . . you have ALL con-tributed to this mess.

1. Our Social Security. introduced by Franklyn Roosevelt, was to be com-pletely voluntary. It’s longer volun-tary.

2. Participants (you and I) would only have to pay 1-percent of the first $1,400 of our annual income to the program. It is now 7.65-percent.

3. The money put into this program would be tax deductible. It’s no longer tax deductible.

4. The money participants put into this fund were to be used for the Social Security Retirement Fund and NO other Government program. Under Johnson (a Democrat) the money was moved to the general fund and spent.

5. The annuity payments to retirees would never be taxed as income. Under Clinton and Gore (both Democrats) up to 85-percent of our Social Security can be taxed, even though we were already taxed while we were working for this same money . . . hummm, does double dipping come to mind?

So now answer these few simple questions:

Q. Which political party took Social Security and and put it into the gen-eral fund so Congress could spend it? A. Lyndon Johnson AND the Demo-crat-controlled House and Senate.

Q. Which political party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding? A.The Democratic Party.

Q. Which political party started taxing Social Security annuities? A. The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the tie breaking deciding vote while being president of the Senate and VP of the U.S.

Q. Which political party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants? A. That’s right. Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party gave these freeloaders who never paid a cent into the program YOURS AND MY money — we had paid all our working lives into the system.

So as long as you think that the Democratic Party is a bunch of saints and keep brainwashing our youth (THAT’S WHAT HITLER DID, BY THE WAY) then we will always be in a mess. You have given up on a system of freedom for being able to think for yourselves, to having a government that does all your thinking for you. When are you going to wake up and take back the government that was supposed to be “WE THE PEOPLE”, NOT we the government? It is time for us all to tell the Congress and Senate that we the people are the boss and not them. It is time for all you little weak-kneed people to stand firm and act like the boss over these elected officials who are sitting back laughing at you won-dering just how much hell they can impose on the rest of us while they relax in the comfort of knowing they can get away with anything they want. For once in your lives know that if UNITED WE STAND we can cure this great country and be proud to be Americans, not the laughing stock of the world.

LETTERSWe’re no closer to building an Afghan nation than 10 years ago To the editor,

In a few weeks there will be a Presi-dential debate that focuses on inter-national affairs and foreign relations. On that night we shall see if the pan-elists are capable of a serious exami-nation of President Obama’s policy in Afghanistan.

Obama told us in 2008 that George Bush fought the wrong war in Iraq, and that Afghanistan was the right conflict to prosecute. I happen to believe he was correct about that, as long as he was going to fight. Time has proven that Bush’s nation building campaign was inapplicable in Iraq, a tribal society with no tradition of republican government. The old admo-nition is that you can’t teach a pig to sing; it frustrates both the pig and the teacher. Our military, the most capa-ble force on the planet at achieving martial objectives was asked to do a job incompatible with the aspirations of the people who were to be liberated. The majority Shiites in Iraq wanted the political and military ability to vanquish the Sunnis who had humili-ated them for 40 years. Understand-ably, the Shiites didn’t care a whit about representative government or 17 UN resolutions, only revenge. Their empowerment was unworthy of American military intervention.

Similar cultural and tribal factors are in play in Afghanistan. We have been in theater for over 10 years now and we are no closer to a built nation than we were when we invaded in October 2001. Afghanistan remains an unresolved engagement and Presi-dent Obama needs to answer for that.

In 2001 Afghanistan was a crucible for the incubation of Al Queda. The Taliban hosted Osama bin Laden and gave his movement refuge. When Bin laden decided to declare war against the US and attack us on September 11, 2001, Afghanistan’s utility as an encampment should have been per-manently terminated.

Initially, that is exactly how we reacted. A mixed deployment of American Special Forces teams on the ground combined with an omnipresent air cap, ubiquitous CIA presence, and invaluable assistance from friendly Northern Alliance ele-ments drove the Taliban and Al Queda out of Afghanistan in less than a hundred days. Then President Bush decided it was time to nation build. Instead of fin-ishing off the Taliban and Al Queda in Waziristan in early 2002, Bush took his eye off the enemy that had attacked us and turned his support towards enforcing U.N. decrees against Iraq. The Taliban were able to begin to regroup. By the time Obama became President, Afghanistan had become a war where allied forces were playing defense.

Obama had an opportunity to match words with actions in 2009 and fight the enemy that had killed 3,000 Americans in less than three hours in 2001. But that is not what he did as Commander in Chief. Once in power he dithered for four months over a Joint Chiefs of Staff request to surge forces and fight the Taliban. He eventually permitted a combat force increase to about half of what his gen-erals requested, while fixing a date for their withdrawal. He restricted night operations, our most effective tacti-

cal advantage over our nocturnally blind opponent, and modified rules of engagement in deference to Afghan sensibilities, not those of the allied sol-diers doing the fighting. Then he fixed a date for withdrawal of combat forces in 2014. That date was not based upon a determination the Taliban would be defeated by then, but upon an arbi-trary calendar for evacuation.

If a U.S. president is going to commit American soldiers to battle and expose them to death he owes them the oppor-tunity to win. That isn’t what is happen-ing in Afghanistan under Obama. We are currently postured for disengagement as combat forces are pulled off the battle field and sent home. We are supposedly training an army and police force, but that is on hold because of “green on blue” attacks where our soldiers are killed by the trainees. American soldiers are castled up because of the fratri-cide problem. The Taliban is resurgent. The best combat force the world has ever seen is now sitting behind sand wall revetments as a fixed target in a hostile land. That is the conscious choice of the President as he “fights” the right war. I wonder what Stone-wall Jackson, George Patton, or John Boyd would think of Obama’s strategy?

I challenge the panelists at the foreign policy debate to question the Commander in Chief about his words in 2008 and his deeds in Afghanistan to date. His policy has not matched his rhetoric. He fights about as inef-fectively as LBJ did in Vietnam. He does not fight like FDR. He has had almost four years to order our soldiers to close with the enemy and kill them where ever they may be found. Our soldiers are extremely good at this assignment, when unleashed. Obama refuses to let them do their job.

Additionally, he does not use the CIA to arrange the demise of Pakistani ISI intelligence officers who were complicit in the harboring of bin Laden and in the deaths of our citizens on 9-11. The ISI is Al Queda. Providing succor to our enemies is a casus belli, for which ISI leadership should have paid with their lives. Instead, they are allowed to enrich themselves in Lahore.

The commendable killing of Osama bin Laden and a drone campaign do not amount to fighting the right war. Obama’s words from 2008 have proven to be empty and he is respon-sible for the deaths of soldiers who are not being allowed to defeat the enemy. His policies strengthen those who have killed us. His deployment of forces and rules of engagement do not offer a winning strategy.

That the national news media is suddenly silent on the debacle in Afghanistan is a further stain on their sorry record of reporting news, or honesty in editorial comment. Their noiselessness confirms their fealty to the Democrat party, for they sud-denly muted themselves after Obama became president.

As well, there is a remarkable quiet about Obama’s war policy in the let-ters to the editor submitted to this newspaper, especially from those who were so loudly condemning the Bush administration en masse four years ago and who fawn all over Obama now in letter after letter. The local critics were chatterbox quick to cluck about

LETTERS Just how bad do things have to be for Joe Biden to be concerned? View emerging is that Obama is man of his word & Romney isn’t

To the editor,This election is a choice between

two very different visions of Amer-ica — and between candidates with two very different kinds of character. President Obama’s long-term plan promises to grow the economy from the middle class out, with jobs that will benefit our whole society, while Mitt Romney promises a quick fix for the economy by giving more tax cuts to the wealthiest, leaving the middle class with the burden of higher taxes, cuts to crucial programs like educa-tion, Social Security, and Medicare — plus a growing deficit.

A growing deficit, you say? From the Republican challenger? Yes. Let’s cut through the usual GOP posturing about more fiscal responsibility and lower national debt, and simply look at the figures. Over all of the presi-dential administrations of the past 20 years, it was Republicans Ronald Reagan (189-percent), George H.W. Bush (55-percent), and George W. Bush (115-percent) who increased the debt the most! And it was Democrats Bill Clinton (37-percent) and Barack Obama (16-percent) who increased the debt the least! Despite GOP accu-sations to the contrary, the Obama administration has actually reduced the deficit by $324-billion! So you do the math, and remember — a wise man once said, “Those who ignore his-tory are doomed to repeat it.”

Most important, let’s look carefully at the candidates’ character, and espe-cially their ability to keep promises. When Mitt Romney ran for governor of Massachusetts, just as he is doing now, he promised more jobs, lower taxes, and less debt. Here’s what his state got instead. By the time he left office, MA ranked a lowly 47th out of 50 states in job creation. Manufactur-ing jobs declined at twice the national rate. State jobs were outsourced overseas. Taxes and fees increased by $750 million per year. Long-term debt increased by more than $2.5 billion. For all his glowing promises, both in Massachusetts and now in the presidential race, Romney gives us no reason to believe he can deliver.

In direct contrast, President Obama

promised to turn around the worst reces-sion of our lifetimes (which he inherited directly from the Bush Administration) and to bring job growth back to the middle class. While he said it would not be easy or fast, during his first term he has indeed turned the tide, and he needs a second term to complete the job. He promised stronger oversight of the irre-sponsible financiers who brought about the housing crash, and with a minimum of regulatory reform, the housing market is finally on the rise again. His quick stimulus actions saved the auto industry and millions of jobs with it. He installed a consumer protection agency that has stemmed aggressive credit company practices. He cut taxes for small busi-nesses 18 times and called on Congress to prevent income tax increases on 97-per-cent of small business and family farms. The unemployment rate has dropped to 7.8-percent — its lowest level since the crash of 2008.

Obama promised health care reform, and after a bitter Congres-sional battle, we now have the Afford-able Care Act, which provides more medical benefits than ever before for middle class citizens and prevents insurance companies from dropping your coverage just when you need it most. He promised to invest in educa-tion, clean energy, and national infra-structure, and his long-term economic plan does just that. He promised to end the two expensive and unproduc-tive wars the Bush administration started in the Middle East, and our troops came home from the Iraq war in 2011, with our Afghanistan troops expected home by 2014, plus he used half of the savings on these costly wars to reduce the deficit! He promised to find and punish the terrorists who were responsible for 9/11 — which the Bush administration was not able to do — and Osama bin Laden is now dead, with the Al-Quaeda network all but defunct.

The clear view emerging from this brief history of the past few years is that President Obama is a man of his word – and Mitt Romney is not. It may seem difficult to separate facts from wishful thinking during these

with the same for every other allied soldier. If we are not going to fight to win, losing one more life of any of them is immoral. It’s even more shameful to conspire to cover it up.

Charlie GallagherGilford

from preceding page

To the editor,One wonders how much the American

people must suffer or how great a disaster must happen to our country before Vice President Biden will discuss these topics seriously. In Thursday’s debate, he acted more like a candidate for class clown than a man concerned about his country.

One wonders, if 23-million Ameri-cans who can’t find the work they need to care for their families aren’t enough to get Vice President Biden’s attention, how many have to suffer? 50,000,000? 75,000,000?

If nearly 50,000,000 people in poverty is not enough for Vice President Biden to discuss real solutions, how many poor must there be? 75,000,000? 100,000,000?

If creating more than $5 trillion in new debt for our children and grandchildren in less than four years is not enough to get the vice president to discuss balancing the budget, how much more debt would it take? $8 Trillion? $15 trillion?

If the interest cost on our debt, which exceeds 10-percent of the federal budget, is not enough to make the vice president concerned about deficit spending, what interest cost would? 20 percent? 30 per-cent? (What programs will be cut?)

If two credit rating downgrades during President Obama’s term is not enough for the vice president to be concerned, how low must our credit rating go?

Vice President Biden didn’t know that more protection was requested for our people in Libya. Perhaps he

also doesn’t know that gasoline prices, college costs, food prices, and electric-ity rates are escalating under Presi-dent Obama. Or, since VP Biden is rich, perhaps he doesn’t really care.

One wonders if Vice President Biden’s indifference reflects President Obama’s attitude. President Obama has done more fundraisers, played more golf, and been campaigning for re-election longer than previous presi-dents. President Obama skips most of his presidential daily briefings which, perhaps, explains why Americans died in Benghazi. President Obama was too busy to meet with world lead-ers, but he has time for Letterman and The View. Perhaps lack of Presi-dent Obama’s attention explains why there has been so little real progress on addressing the problems of suffer-ing Americans or of our country, on calming the Middle East, or of reduc-ing threats in a dangerous world.

Last Thursday, Vice President Biden showed that he does not take our coun-try’s problems seriously enough to be one heartbeat away from the presi-dency. Perhaps Senator Obama didn’t know Senator Biden in 2008, but keep-ing this immature person as his vice president shows how little President Obama cares about the well-being of our country should the vice president need to take over the presidency.

last weeks before the election because of all the competing ads, changing polls, and over-analyzed debates. But remember, when you look at the facts carefully and objectively, President Obama — and not Mitt Romney —

will be one who keeps his promises to the American people. Let that thought be your guide when you step into the voting booth to cast your ballot on Nov. 6.

LACONIA — A Superior Court judge said Wednesday he would not overturn the the September jury con-viction of a former pawn shop opera-tor for four counts of receiving stolen property.

Even though Judge James Barry called the state’s case against Fred Brent of Cash N Toys on Union Avenue “thin” when he agreed to allow it to go to the jury that convicted him, he upheld their decision.

Brent was convicted of buying stolen tools from Richard McNeil and, despite including those tools in his weekly list of items he listed with the Laconia Police Department, the prosecution said he should have known they were stolen because they were new.

Brent’s defense was that he fol-lowed all the rules regarding catalog-ing the things McNeil sold him, kept them on his shelves for two full weeks, as required, and including them and McNeil’s name in the police report. He also said McNeil was in the construc-tion business and had done business with him before.

He also said he warned McNeil that he would include the items in his reports to police and they would know if the items were stolen. At the time of Brent’s arrest, Lowe’s Home

Judge declines to toss guilty verdict against Laconia pawn shop owner

Improvement store in Gilford had not yet reported the theft.

Laconia Police Detective recognized McNeil’s name from the list and when they went to Brent, he gave them the items pawned on October 11 but declined to tell them about items McNeil pawned on October 12. The October 12 items were including in his next report.

The state argued that Brent should have been more forthcoming with Det. Kevin Butler when he went to the store the first time. When testify-ing, Butler said there were questions Brent could have asked McNeil that would have enlightened him to the stolen nature of the tools.

During his testimony, McNeil said he was high on durgs at the time and barely remembered the transactions.

In his denial of the motion to set aside the verdict, Barry said anyone of the above items was reason enough for a reasonable jury to determine Brent knew or should have known the items were stolen.

Brent said he is liquidating and two weeks ago the Laconia licensing board revoked his pawn shop license.

Brent said he is concentrating on caring for his sick wife and hopes to use the location to open an appliance repair shop with his son.

By Gail OBerTHE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Police charged a Union Avenue man yesterday after-noon with one felony count of posses-sion of marijuana after pulling him over in Lakeport for an inspection sticker violation.

Lt. Richard Simmons said Michael Roy Brown, 28, of 117 Union Ave. #7 had eight separate bags of marijuana and about $300 in cash in his backpack.

He said police smelled the mari-

Routine traffic stop results in pot bustjuana and Brown gave them permis-sion to search the backpack.

Simmons said the car was towed to the Laconia Police Department and police will apply for a search warrant to fully search the car today.

Brown was released on personal recognizance bail and given a court date in December. He also got a ticket for failing to have a current inspection sticker.

ernment — or a publicly funded school district, in this case — from establish-ing or endorsing a religion.

Gov. Rick Perry, who appointed Thomas, a fellow Republican, to the district court to fill a vacancy, issued a statement welcoming the ruling.

“Today’s ruling is a victory for all who cherish our inalienable right to freedom of speech and religious expression,” Perry said. “I am proud of the cheerleaders at Kountze ISD for standing firm in the knowledge of these endowed rights and their willingness to be an example in defending those rights, which a secular group has needlessly tried to take away.”

Abbott, who filed court papers seek-ing to intervene in the lawsuit on behalf of the cheerleaders, also issued

a statement commending the ruling.“Students’ ability to express their

religious views adds to the diversity of thought that has made this country so strong,” Abbott said.

Abbott argued that the Texas Edu-cation Code also states that schools must respect the rights of students to express their religious beliefs.

“It is the individual speech of the cheerleaders and not in fact the gov-ernment speaking,” David Starnes, the cheerleaders’ attorney said, according to KDFM television. “It is not just one girl or one person in the group that comes up with the quote, but it’s on a rotating basis that each girl gets to pick the quote. That is their individual voices that are being portrayed on the banner.”

tional money to pay for the tax cuts.“Today, President Obama only offered

Granite State voters more mislead-ing attacks to distract from his failed record, his reckless spending and his inability to present a discernible vision to move our country forward,” Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said.

The Tax Policy Center, a Washington research group, says in a study that the tax cuts proposed by Romney would

reduce federal tax revenues by about $5 trillion over 10 years. The study concludes that there aren’t enough tax breaks for the wealthy to make up the lost revenue, so the proposal would either add to the deficit or shift more of the tax burden onto the middle class.

It was Obama’s fifth trip this year to New Hampshire, which he won in 2008 but has been heavily contested this cycle. The latest poll — a Suffolk

MANCHESTER — The New Hampshire Preserva-tion Alliance announced its 2012 Seven to Save list this week, naming a new group of endangered historic structures that includes the Moultonborough Grange and New Durham’s 1772 Meetinghouse.

The Moultonborough Grange is owned by the Moultonborough Historical Society, with the Heri-tage Commission as leading advocates. This former tavern needs immediate funding for stabilization and a re-use plan so that it can once again play a key role in the life of the village center. For more information, contact: Cristina Ashjian, 476-8446, or cristina.ashjian@gmail.com.

New Durham’s 1772 Meetinghouse is one of only five surviving pre-Revolutionary era meetinghouses in New Hampshire. As the birthplace of the Freewill Baptist denomination, this timber framed structure was long neglected and faced possible demolition when a few committed townspeople stepped up to begin its restoration in the 1980’s. Now stabilized, it awaits full rehabilitation. For more information, contact: Cathy Allyn, 859-3322, or prosody@hotmail.com.

“Our 2012 Seven to Save list contains the kind of places that you can’t imagine your community with-out,” said Maggie Stier, field service representative for the Preservation Alliance. “Advocates for these places know that saving the past enriches the pres-ent, and today we recognize seven great opportuni-ties to transform threatened resources into vibrant community assets once again.”

Hunter Ulf, AIA, board member of the Preserva-tion Alliance and chair of the Seven to Save com-mittee, noted that “Preservation of places like these supports well-paying jobs and is part of New Hamp-shire’s authentic sense of place that helps attract

visitors and businesses.”Other properties named to the list:Exeter’s Ioka TheaterKensington’s Town HallLittleton’s Community HouseThe Vilas Bridge, WalpoleDrew Mill and Dam in Union Village, Wakefield.The 2012 Seven to Save announcement also

included a brief annual meeting of the Preservation Alliance. Jennifer Goodman, executive director of the Preservation Alliance, underlined the value of the program by noting that “of the 42 sites named to the list since 2006, we consider over half of them now out of danger and ‘saved.’” Completed reha-bilitations include the Ashland School and Pandora Mill, with strong progress being made at many others including the 70-meter ski jump at Gunstock Resort, the Langdon Meetinghouse, and Upper Vil-lage Hall in East Derry.

University/7NEWS survey conducted before Tues-day’s debate — shows him even with Romney.

“In 19 days, you get to choose between the top-down policies that got us into this mess, or the poli-cies that are getting us out,” he said. “In 19 days, you can choose to turn back the clock 50 years for immigrants, or gays or women, or you can stand up and say we’re going to move forward.”

As he has in recent days, Obama also mocked Rom-ney’s remark during the debate that as Massachusetts governor, he received “whole binders full of women” as he sought to diversify his administration. Touting his sup-port for programs that encourage young people to study

science, engineering and math, Obama said he wants young women, as well as men, to thrive in such fields.

“See, we don’t have to order up some binders to find qualified, talented, driven young women who can learn and excel in these fields right now,” he said. “And when these young women graduate, I want them to earn equal pay for equal work.”

Warming up the crowd before Obama’s appear-ance, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., also repeated that Obama “didn’t need a binder to appoint women” to high-ranking positions.

Shaheen, the first woman elected governor of New Hamp-shire and the state’s first female U.S. senator, praised Obama’s debate performance, saying, “We are back on track.”see next page

the 223 to 196 vote in the House was along parti-san lines or that the bill restored the cuts in defense spending 223 to 196 by increasing those to domes-tic programs. The Senate, he said, insists on raising marginal income tax on those earning more than $250,000 a year, which would raise approximately $70-billion in revenue.

Guinta played down that later amount, noting that the country’s annual deficit is still over $1 billion.

Guinta acknowledged that the House majority flatly refuses to raise taxes and referred to a study prepared by Ernst & Young, one of the “big four” accounting firms, for the Independent Community Bankers of America, United States Chamber of Commerce, and National Federation of Independent Businesses that claimed such a tax increase would reduce employment by 710,000 jobs and output by $200-billion.

To overcome the “fiscal cliff,” Guinta proposed deal-

ing with the tax issue and spending cuts separately. He said that the tax code should be rewritten, starting at “square one,” with simplifying the code and elimi-nating loopholes and subsidies. The House, he said will undertake reform of the tax code next year.

Answering a question about health care, Guinta shunned the term “ObamaCare” for the “Afford-able Care Act,” its proper name, in reiterating his opposition to the president’s health care plan, which he called “top-down perspective from Washington.” Instead, he favored a “targeted approach within a more competitive environment.” He proposed that the cost of health care could be reduced by introduc-ing transparent pricing of medical services, opening health insurance markets to greater competition and limiting awards in malpractice cases to reduce the practice of defensive medicine.

If, as Guinta projected, the election results in another round of divided government, finding common ground could be a stiff challenge.

for appearing outside her district. She said that she thought nothing of “crossing lines” since she believed her responsibility as a state senator is “about help-ing anyone I can.” A show of hands indicated that about two-thirds of the more than three dozen in attendance were residents of District 2, although Moultonborough itself lies in District 3.

“It’s about serving my communities,” Forrester said of her job. “All 31 of them.” She said that posts newsletters by e-mail, offers a monthly column to local newspapers and visits with selectmen of every town in the district.

In introducing the senator, Carter lauded her for

her contribution to legislation, inspired by opposi-tion to Northern Pass, that narrowly restricted exercise of the power of eminent domain by public utilities. Forrester was quick to emphasize the bill succeeded because of the efforts of many lawmakers and citizens.

In response to Northern Pass, Forrester sponsored a bill convening a commission to study establishing an underground energy corridor, using public rights-of-way to carry transmission lines and fiberoptic conduits. If re-elected, she said that she intends to pursue the work of the commission.

At the same time, Forrester said that she will introduce legislation requiring the state to prepare

a 10-year economic development plan. She said that plan would include initiatives in education, infrastruc-ture and energy as well as other factors required to foster and sustain a favorable business climate.

Opening the meeting to questions, Carter began by calling Forrester’s attention to the “Granite State Future” program. Funded by a $3.37-million grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the program aims “to develop comprehensive and coordinated regional plans in each of the state’s nine regional planning areas.”

“This is nothing but bad news for New Hamp-shire,” Carter said, explaining that the outcomes of the process would be determined by the federal gov-ernment.

“I don’t have the same take on it as you do,” For-rester replied. “The planning commissions do a lot of good things.”

However, when Carter urged her “to put the brakes on,” she agreed to consider the program more closely.

When Don Ewing prodded her about education, claiming that public education was a failure, For-rester countered “not all public schools are failing” while agreeing that parents should have a wider choice of schools for their children. She reminded Ewing that the Legislature created a scholarship program, funded by businesses in return for tax credits, to asset parents with tuition to private and parochial schools.

Paula Trombi, one of a handful of Democrats from Meredith at the meeting, apparently to keep an eye on Forrester, questioned why Forrester supported reducing the tobacco tax and the $30 surcharge on motor vehicle registrations, when funding to educa-tion, social services and highways was trimmed.

Forrester explained that the Senate opposed the reduction in the tobacco tax, but the House insisted on it, forcing the Senate to compromise in order to adopt the budget. Then she volunteered that she shared the House’s position because businesses in her district believed lowering the tax would boost sales of cigarettes and other items.

Forrester said that the proceeds from the sur-charge were not being applied to local roads and bridges but to personnel costs at the Department of Transportation. When Trombi claimed that Mer-edith Neck Road went without repair for want of funds, Forrester replied that the road has been in disrepair for years ands “nothing we did stopped that road from getting repaired.”

Not without allies, Forrester was echoed by Karen Sticht who said she was on Meredith Neck Road everyday and liked it just the way it is. “People drive slower,” she said.

PLYMOUTH — Speare Memorial Hospital says it is reaching out to patients as the number of cases con-tinues to increase in the national outbreak of fungal meningitis and infections related to a specific steroid injection produced by the New England Compounding Center (NECC); and the subsequent recall of all medi-cation made by NECC since January 2012 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)

Speare officials say the hospital did not purchase or administer any steroid injections from NECC. However, the hospital has utilized other medica-

Speare says it never used NECC’s steroid products but has utilized otherstions — one relative to pain control and the others specific to cataract surgery — that were purchased from NECC since May 21, 2012.

Speare’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Joseph Ebner says, “While none of these drugs are currently in question, we are in the process of notifying patients to whom these were administered during a recent hospital stay of their use; and to be aware of signs and symptoms related to a fungal infection. We are engaged daily with the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, the FDA and CDC, receiving updates and the latest recommendations.”

At this point in time the FDA cannot confirm or guarantee that any product produced at NECC is sterile. Therefore, Speare patients identified as having received one or more doses of a pain control medication in Labor and Delivery, in the Emergency Department, or as an inpatient, are being advised of

the signs and symptoms of a fungal infection with include fever, chills, night sweats, and just not feel-ing well overall. Pain and severe redness of the eye are symptoms to watch for in patients administered two medications during cataract surgery.

“By making patients aware of what to look for now, and asking them to contact their provider immediately if they experience any of them, will aid in a more rapid diagnosis and treatment,” says Dr. Ebner.

Patients were advided to call their medical pro-vider directly if they have questions or concerns about your own recent hospital stay or procedure at Speare. For more general information about the national outbreak of fungal meningitis, the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Ser-vices has also established an information line: (603) 271-6617.

So on Thursday, when Newsweek’s current owners announced they intended to halt print publication and expand the magazine’s Web presence, there was little surprise. But there was a good deal of nostalgia for what Smith called “the shared conversation that the

nation used to have,” when the networks, the news-weeklies and a few national newspapers reigned.

Before Newsweek, there was Time — the brain-child of Henry Luce and Briton Hadden. The first issue of the first newsweekly came out in 1923, and the formula, from the first, was to wrap up the week’s news and tie it with a bow, telling it with a singular voice.

Newsweek — or as it was originally called, News-week — came along in 1933. The founding editor was Thomas Martyn. The first foreign editor of Time, he

was British-born and had a single leg, having lost the other in World War I. His magazine sold for 10 cents and was advertised as “an indispensable com-plement to newspaper reading, because it explains, expounds, clarifies.”

The magazine struggled for four years, until it merged with another magazine, Today, lost the hyphen, and emerged under the ownership of Aver-ill Harriman and Vincent Astor, two of the country’s wealthiest men.

The modern era at Newsweek began in 1961, when it was purchased by the Washington Post Co. Benjamin Bradlee, who was Newsweek’s Washing-ton bureau chief at the time and later executive editor of the Post, helped negotiate the sale.

Edward Kosner, who worked at Newsweek from 1963 to 1979, ending as executive editor, recalled the time as a kind of golden age of the newsweeklies.

“It’s a lost world,” he said. “It’s like talking about the 19th century.

“Everybody cared about what was on the cover Monday morning. People took the magazines very, very seriously. They were important. They were influential.”

Richard M. Smith joined Newsweek for a two-week writing tryout in 1970 and stayed until 2007, rising to executive editor before retiring as president and chief

executive officer. Newsweek was always the scrappy competitor to Time, which grew to a corporate behe-moth with numerous magazines and media proper-ties and had the larger circulation; Smith said he and his colleagues preferred to think of themselves as “the noble guerrilla band, fighting the ‘panzer division on Sixth Avenue.’ We took pride in our speed and flexibil-ity and occasional irreverence.”

He recalled with pride Newsweek’s coverage of civil rights in the 1960s, the end of the Vietnam War and economic issues in the 1970s, the AIDS epi-demic in the 1980s.

Perhaps because of Time’s Luceian origins — he and his wife, Clare Boothe Luce, were major Repub-lican figures — Newsweek was often perceived as a more liberal counterweight. Its readers loved the weekly Periscope section, with its editorial cartoons and hot-off-the-presses news blurbs. Where Time only later started providing bylines for its stories, Newsweek offered star columnists like George Will, Eleanor Clift and Anna Quindlen.

Life in the newsweeklies, Stephen Smith recalls, was nothing like today’s frenetic media sprint. At the start of each week, reporters would come into work for a couple of days and think about story ideas and how to pitch them. The correspondents were far flung; the editing and fact-checking were meticulous.

“That world doesn’t exist anymore,” he said.

instituted after numerous complaints from resi-dents of the area about quality of life issues ranging from suspicions of alcohol and drug-related crime, to late night noise and rowdyism, littering and speed-ing and traffic violations.

He said that a team consisting of himself, Ser-geant Gary Hubbard, Detective Scott Roy and Officer Michael Armstrong, started out by designating Wyatt Park a “special response area,” which is patrolled three times during each of the three shifts per day.

Simmons said that officers were directed to not only come to the park during their shifts, but also to get out of their cruisers and walk the park, speaking to people who were there and and report what they had observed to the dispatcher.

‘’We also started talking to people by going door to door and asking those who witnessed suspicious or inappropriate behavior to call police’’ said Simmons.

He said that police were also involved in commu-nity meetings which were called to discuss what to do about the basketball courts there and that one addition to his team, Laconia Police Officer Peter ‘’Tony” Horan, a patrolman who lives in the neigh-borhood, spoke up forcefully at one of the meetings about what people needed to do to bring problems at the park under control.

Horan was called upon to speak and told commis-sioners that it was important ‘’to let people in the park know that we’ll be there every day’’ and that police officers made it a point to ‘’park their cars

and get out and talk to the kids and parents’’ and that people were encouraged to provide the kind of specific information that would help them detect troublemakers.

‘’Tell your friends and other people in the park that this is what we need from you,’’ said Horan.

Simmons said that police worked with the Parks and Recreation Department on issues about the basketball court and that by closing the park at 8 p.m. rather than 10 p.m. some of the problems were eliminated.

He said that police also encouraged those using the park to show a respectful attitude toward those who live there and that Sgt. Hubbard had worked with people in the area in helping design a layout of the park which would include new playground equipment and basketball courts.

‘’You’ve done a fantastic job,’’ Police Commission Chairman Warren Clement told the officers after they had finished their presentation.

Mayor Seymour said that thanks to the police effort there is a new sense of optimism and commu-nity involvement in the Wyatt Park area..

“A Wyatt Park Association is being started on an official basis. The Parks and Recreation Department is being very proactive in its efforts and Ward 4 Councilor Brenda Baer is very involved with what’s happening at the park. There’s now a community perception that people can work with their neigh-bors to make things better,’’ said Seymour.

Burrito Me feeds Sachems on eve of final home football gameReuben Bassett of Burrito Me lets captain Taylor Mears take first pick from among the 40 burritos created for a “team feed” of the Laconia High School football team on Thursday evening. The team has a tradition of eating together on the night before games and Bassett worked with parent Andrea Morin to host a meal prior to the final home game of the season. The Sachems host Kennett (Conway) tonight at 7. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Adam Drapcho)

ers, members of the family that owns and operates Gilford Well, the athletic complex’s two practice fields will have in-ground irrigation systems, and the new synthetic turf playing field will be plumbed for a water fixture, necessary to keep the turf material clean.

Ed Emond, the district’s business administrator, estimated the gift to be worth more than $30,000. “This is quite a value to us,” he said.

With the installation of the irrigation systems donated, Emond said the district can reallocate funds to other items. “We’ve got plans to do much more than resources allow,” he said.

Norm is a 1982 graduate of Laconia High School and played linebacker and tight end on the football team. Trevor, Class of ‘86, played linebacker and offensive tackle. Both went on to play in college — Norm at Bentley University and Trevor at Nichols College. Both are raising families in Gilford, where they have learned a new appreciation for the role athletics plays in a teenager’s development. “It

makes a great foundation for the kids to grow off of,” said Norm, pointing out that the synthetic play-ing surface will be durable enough for all athletes of many sports to enjoy, not just football.

Gilford Well, started by Trevor and Norm’s father 50 years ago, once employed more than 40 people. However, the company has shrunk to about 25 as a result of the recent recession and lagging housing construction. Despite trying times for the company, Trevor said affection for their alma mater drove them to give.

“A project like this is something you’re happy to see happen. As many memories as there are on this field, it’s time to upgrade,” said Trevor. “You try to give back to the community as much as you can.”

Work on the new athletic facility, which will be called Bank of New Hampshire Stadium, began this week with the felling of several trees growing on the hill behind the current football field. After the team’s final home game against Kennett (Conway) tonight,

He said the fee schedule for more than six hours a month is less than Mitchell Group if the town speaks with an associate but said it is more if the town works with a partner.

Dunn also said the town had used Donahue Tucker and Ciandella at least once in the past and was very impressed by them.

Dunn also said the firm has case and trial fees that would be above and beyond what the retainer buys but anticipates the town will have less use for legal fees in 2013.

He also said the town is no longer a party to the Liberty Hill Coal Tar suit, that is now being waged by the Department of Environmental Ser-vices verses the Algonquin — the company that the bought National Grid gas company.

Pat LaBonte asked Dunn if the town used the Local Government Center for legal advice and was

told “occasionally.”In other Budget Committee recommendation,

board members voted unanimously to eliminate the free coffee for town hall employees — saving $350.

They also voted to eliminate the $600 stipend paid to the town moderator. This will be the third year selectmen have forgone their annual stipend.

Selectman Gus Benavides said the selectmen gave up their stipend in the “spirit of shared pain.”

Members Dave Horvath, Sr. and Fred Butler ques-tioned whether it would be appropriate to eliminate the stipend when the moderator ran for the office expecting to get one.

Dunn said he had a conversation with Sandy McGonagle who he said asked him how she could refuse the stipend. Dunn said he told her to donate it to charity.

Learning this, the committee voted eight to two with Horvath abstaining to eliminate her stipend.

Durham campus and neighboring Dover with fliers bearing her photograph and description.

On Oct. 13, four days after Marriott was last heard from, police charged 29-year-old Seth Mazza-glia of Dover with killing her, even though her body has yet to be found. Prosecutors say Mazzaglia — who is charged with second-degree murder — either strangled or suffocated the 19-year-old Marriott.

Even as friends and relatives recalled her love of the ocean and its creatures on Thursday, investiga-tors continued their grim search for her body in the waters off Peirce Island in Portsmouth. Prosecutors won’t say what evidence they have to support their convictions that she is dead and that Mazzaglia

killed her.UNH chaplain Larry Brickner-Wood called Marri-

ott “a light bringer — someone who turned darkness into light, heartache into hope.”

University President Mark Huddleston told the sea of students that even though she had been at UNH only a short time, she was very much a part of the college community.

“Losing Lizzi was losing part of ourselves,” Hud-dleston said. “I take solace in seeing how we stand together in times like these.”

Student Brian Tyler — who went to high school with Marriott in Westborough, Mass., but didn’t realize she’d come to UNH until he saw the fliers — spoke of her energy and how she helped him make it through high school math.

Tyler said he feels Marriott’s spirit is still connect-ing them, bringing them together. “I feel like she’s watching over us.”

Carli Barnes — a UNH sophomore who also went to high school with Marriott — recalled how vibrant and happy Marriott was.

“When she walked into a room, everyone knew she was there,” Barnes said. “She was so happy and so loving of life.”

Bob Marriott asked students to reach out to one another and “be the light that was Lizzi.”

He also asked them to hug their parents at the next opportunity and to express their deeper feelings.

“Lizzi was a great hugger,” he said, then sobbed, “God bless you all and thank you for caring about my daughter.”

The 45-minute ceremony ended on a haunting note, with Marriott’s voice singing the lyrics to “Into the West,” an Annie Lennox song about dying.

“The ships have come to carry you home,” she sang, as many students silently wept and her father’s shoulders heaved with sobs.

DETROIT (AP) — Prince Fielder waved his arms franticly, gleefully calling off his teammates before catch-ing the final out.

From the moment Fielder signed his massive contract in January, an entire city had been waiting for a moment like this.

Max Scherzer capped a stupendous stretch for Detroit’s starting rotation, and the Tigers advanced to the World Series for the second time in seven years by beating the New York Yan-kees 8-1 Thursday for a four-game sweep of the AL championship series.

Miguel Cabrera and Jhonny Per-alta hit two-run homers in a four-run fourth inning against CC Sabathia, who was unable to prevent the Yan-kees from getting swept in a postsea-son series for the first time in 32 years.

“Yeah, we did it,” Cabrera said. “It’s an unbelievable feeling. ... Four more wins, guys. Four more wins.”

Scherzer took a no-hit bid into the sixth against a New York starting lineup that was again without Alex Rodriguez, who flied out with two on in the sixth as a pinch hitter.

Austin Jackson added a solo shot in the seventh for Detroit, and Peralta hit another homer an inning later.

The game ended with Fielder, Detroit’s $214 million acquisition, catching Jayson Nix’s popup. The Tigers spilled onto the field for a cel-ebration that began near second base

Tigers route Yankees to complete sweepand eventually moved closer to the third-base line.

General manager Dave Dombrowski hugged manager Jim Leyland — who is in the final year of his contract — while owner Mike Ilitch rubbed Ley-land’s right shoulder.

“I’ve got a great bunch,” Ilitch said. “We don’t have one hot dog in the bunch. They’re all great guys. ... The Tigers are something special.”

Detroit won its 11th American League pennant and first since 2006. The Tigers have five days off before the World Series starts Wednesday at defending champion St. Louis or 2010 winner San Francisco.

After scoring in just three of 39 innings during the series, New York heads home to face unpleasant ques-tions about its future following a postseason of awful hitting, benched stars and veterans showing the wear and tear of age. Rodriguez, the $275 million third baseman, was out of the starting lineup for the third time in the playoffs. Derek Jeter and Mariano Rivera could only watch following sea-son-ending injuries.

The Yankees hit .188 in the post-season — a record low for a team that played at least seven games — and .157 in the LCS. New York went qui-etly in the ninth inning, with the Com-erica Park crowd chanting “Sweep!” while the last three batters made out in order.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — As far as unpleasant surprises go, Google hit Wall Street with a double whammy Thursday.

The Internet search leader that prides itself of organizing the world’s information lost control of its own data when a contractor released its third-quarter earnings report more than three hours before the numbers were supposed to come out.

As if that wasn’t jarring enough, the results alarmed investors because the company’s earnings and revenue fell well below analyst projections. The disappointment triggered an 8 percent drop in Google’s stock price that erased about $20 billion in share-holder wealth.

“This is a monumental failure of epic proportions,” said Michael Rob-inson, an executive vice president for the Levick Strategic Communica-tions, which specializes in financial crisis management. “This was bad news compounded by bad process. It came out in the worst way possible.”

Google Inc. blamed printer R.R. Donnelley & Sons Co. for filing the company’s quarterly statement with the Securities and Exchange Commis-sion more than three hours ahead of schedule.

“We are fully engaged in an inves-tigation to determine how this event took place and are pursuing our first obligation, which is to serve our valued customer,” R.R. Donnelley said in a statement.

The embarrassing mix-up prompted Google CEO Larry Page to preface his review of the quarter with an apology during a conference call with analysts.

“I am sorry for the scramble ear-lier today,” Page said, still sounding

Google earnings disappoint, stock plummetshoarse from a mysterious throat ail-ment. The problem left Page unable to speak during the summer, causing him to skip Google’s second-quarter earnings call three months ago.

Page went on to paint a bright pic-ture, not only of the most recent quar-ter, but for the next few years. “Every day, I wake up and I am delighted about our opportunities to keep grow-ing,” he said.

The pep talk didn’t immediately resonate with investors.

Google’s stock initially plunged more than 9 percent after the early release of the results. Trading was then suspended to allow more time for the information to be digested. After a nearly three-hour break, investors decided the results weren’t quite as bad as they initially appeared, and the shares recovered slightly.

Even so, the stock wound up drop-ping $60.49, or 8 percent, to close at $695.

The sell-off reflects a reversal of the optimistic sentiment that had pro-pelled Google’s stock to an all-time high earlier this month. The stock had surged 27 percent in the three months before Thursday’s unsettling develop-ments.

Google earned $2.18 billion, or $6.53 per share, during the three months ending in September. That compared with net income of $2.73 billion, or $8.33 per share, last year.

The earnings would have been $9.03 per share, if not for Google’s accounting costs for employee stock compensation and the Motorola charges. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $10.63 per share, on average.

Democrats holding informational session on constitutional amendments

MEREDITH — The Meredith and Center Harbor Democratic Commit-tee will hold an informational session on Monday, October 22 from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the Meredith Community Center on two proposed constitutional amendments that will be on the NH ballot in November.

Jeff McLynch, Executive Direc-tor, from the New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute (NHFPI) will present information on the two constitutional amendments. The New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute is an indepen-dent, non-partisan organization dedi-cated to exploring, developing, and promoting public policies that foster economic opportunity and prosperity for all New Hampshire residents.

The two constitutional amendments are CACR13, the NH Income Tax

Amendment, and CACR26, relating to administration of the Supreme Court and provides that the legislature and the Chief Justice shall have concur-rent power to make rules governing the administration of all the courts of the state.

Following the presentation the meeting will continue with a “Con-versation with the Candidates” with Senate candidate Bob Lamb and House candidates Lisa DiMartino, Bill Johnson, Kate Miller and Sandy Mucci. Ruth Gulick has been invited but her availability is not yet con-firmed.

Refreshments will be served. Guests are asked to bring a non-perishable food item for donation to local food pantries. For additional information, contact Kate Miller at 279-4764.

Big Cat Coffees celebrates its customers with open house Tuesday

FRANKLIN — Big Cat Coffees will be hosting its second annual Customer Appreciation/Open House Event Tuesday, October 23 from 4-7 p.m. at their facility at 109 Industrial Park Drive in Franklin.

“Since we started our business in 1995, customers and customer service has been at the heart of what we do,” remarked Shannon Casey, CFO. “We know that none of this; our growth, our longevity, our success, would be possible without the support of our customers.”

Big Cat Coffees has been ranked as one of the fastest growing companies in NH with over 72,000 customers, a 48,000 square foot distribution facil-ity and a staff of 20.

The Customer Appreciation event will allow guests to visit and tour the facil-ity, meet the Big Cat team, and sample a

variety of products; including treats from local New Hampshire businesses such as Planet Marshmallow and Michele’s Totally Awesome Gourmet Popcorn. Additionally, the new commercial Keurig VUE Brewing System and Vue packs will be offered by Big Cat’s

Pitman’s Freight Room offering stand up comedy starting Nov. 17

LACONIA — Pitman’s Freight Room in Laconia, which is known for its jazz and music events, is stepping into the world of high level stand up comedy with its fi rst Las Vegas style Comedy night, Saturday Nov. 17 at 8 p.m.

Pitman’s is working in conjunction with Laugh Riot Productions, to bring some of the top names in New Eng-land and New York comedy to the his-toric venue located at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia.

“There really isn’t anything in the area where you can see a variety of Boston and New York based come-dians and headliners who work Las Vegas and have been seen on Comedy Central and the late night talk shows,” said Dick Mitchell, who along with his wife Connie are the owners of Pitman’s. “We think the people of the area will support this type of event.

“We want to bring in top level talent but we want to keep the ticket cost low,” added Mitchell of the $15 prices. “And a BYOB drinks policy at Pitman’s should make this a great value for our patrons.

“We’re hoping that the comedy fans in the region and those who are look-ing for a fun night out will make this a primary option for them.”

The fi rst comedy night, Nov. 17 fea-tures national touring comedian and North American star Mark Scalia along with Mitch Stinson as the main per-formers. Scalia and Stinson are both well established Boston area comedi-ans who work and have worked across the country including Las Vegas and have been seen on Comedy Central and heard on Sirius Radio.

“We have spent a lot of time been looking for the right venue in the Lakes Region,” said Smith, the Laugh Riot Productions manager and talent booker who produces shows for a dozen rooms throughout New England and fund-raisers for school, civic, and athletic organizations. “We have put on comedy fundraisers for groups throughout New England and many in New Hampshire. We think Pitman’s has tremendous potential. Pitman’s is the most unique room we have ever worked. The acous-tics are great and the ambiance is something that we have never seen in a room,” he added referring to the rustic structure, antiques, and unique seating which include couches, antique tables, and in some cases, steamer trunks for tables.

Smith said comedians who perform with Laugh Riot Productions include the top names in New England comedy such as Tony V, Joe Yannetty, Paul D’Angelo, DJ Hazard, Kenny Rogerson, Jim, Lau-letta, Scalia, Stinson, and more.

“The plan is to bring all of these comics to Pitman’s,” said Smith. “We are hoping that within a very short period of time, word will get out as to the level of comedy you will see at Pitman’s and the room will quickly become a regular stop for area comedy fans who are interested in high level comedy and a new show every month.”

Three employees at Steele Hill Resorts were honored for setting a great example for their coworkers; Sheryl Jenkerson, a house-keeper; Nancy Sapack, Activites Director, and Frank Cote, the resort’s painter. (Courtesy photo)

SANBORNTON — Three employees at Steele Hill Resorts were honored for setting a great exam-ple for their coworkers. Coming off one of the bus-iest summers on record, management sat down to choose the recipients for the Quarterly Award for Excellence.

“The frontline manag-ers take the award pro-cess very seriously,” says Bill Cutillo, the company president. “We sit back and listen as department heads discuss which team mem-bers really went above and beyond during the last quarter. The program helps us identify the employ-ees that have demonstrated a combina-tion of solid work ethic and dedication to customer service.”

This quarter three employees stood out. Sheryl Jenkersen, a relatively new housekeeper, was highly touted for her thoroughness, initiative and extreme attention to detail. “After only a few weeks, we knew Sheryl was a great find,” says Bo Rudzinsky, the Housekeeping Manager. “When Sheryl was assigned to a room it was always an exemplary job.”

Nancy Sapack, the Activities Direc-tor, was another great example for her peers. Known for her positive attitude and uncanny knack at guest satisfac-tion, multiple managers in unrelated departments cast their vote for Nancy.

“She is really a bright spot on the staff and guests love her,” says Rob Robil-lard, Director of Operations.

Frank Cote, the Resort’s resident painter, garnered sterling recommen-dations from the head of Maintenance and several other managers at the resort. “Frank is the type of guy we can point at project and know the job will get done on time and in a qual-ity fashion,” says Nick Wederski, the Head of Maintenance. “This summer he was able to repaint all the firewalls at the main resort by himself, a proj-ect that we assumed would require an entire painting crew.”

Steele Hill’s Quarterly Award for Excellence is designed to recognize and praise employees that have dem-onstrated dedication and commitment to customer service.

HOROSCOPE By Holiday Mathis

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may fi nd yourself in a constant state of management, with an endless to-do list that absorbs your time. Could you reassign some of your tasks to some-one else? Delegation equals freedom. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Cool down and relax. There is nothing to be gained from rushing around. Besides, you look more confi dent and in control when you move slowly. The world will wait for you. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll be inexplicably drawn to an odd adven-ture. This road may seem potentially unpleasant and downright diffi cult, but no matter. It’s the kind of thing you do just so you never have to do it again. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re an excellent driver, so try to steer the action where you want it to go. The same goes for conversation. Other-wise, you’ll tune out and get lost in your own thoughts, alienating the speaker. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Status mat-ters. The perceived authority of the people involved in a deal will affect how it goes down today. Whether in busi-ness or your personal life, do all you can to build your good name. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Trying to do a task perfectly robs you of the wonderful fl oating feeling of engage-ment in the same way that watching the clock prevents you from enjoying the moments. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’re an expert politician, partly because you realize that politics doesn’t only pertain to large organizations. Politics is alive in every transaction between human beings. You’ll play the game well today. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It

takes maturity to understand that much that happens in a day depends on what a person did the night before. Every action sets up the next action. Tonight’s agenda changes as you use this prin-ciple as your guide. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s much to be gained in the pro-cess of leaving. When you say good-bye to a situation, you are also saying goodbye to the person you were inside that situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll have an opportunity to publicize your cause, make your request widely known or send a message to more people than you’ve ever been able to reach before. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Sometimes all it takes is a little push to send you fl ying. This is usually true when you’ve already tested your wings and have them fully extended, just wait-ing for someone to dare you. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are not a contrarian. For you to play devil’s advocate, or to adopt any con-fl icting point of view, you have to have an excellent reason -- for instance, it’s really what you believe. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 19). The year brings a rebirth of your intel-lectual life, and you’ll be drawn to new interests, teachers and art forms. You’ll reap personal benefi ts from institutions and political and economic trends. A controlling force of the past will be eliminated in December. Loved ones celebrate a May accomplishment. Leo and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 43, 1, 23 and 15.

PROBLEMS

Today is Friday, Oct. 19, the 293rd day of 2012. There are 73 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:On Oct. 19, 1987, the stock market crashed

as the Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged 508 points, or 22.6 percent in value, to close at 1,738.74.

On this date:In 1765, the Stamp Act Congress, meeting in

New York, drew up a declaration of rights and liberties.

In 1781, British troops under Gen. Lord Corn-wallis surrendered at Yorktown, Va., as the Ameri-can Revolution neared its end.

In 1812, French forces under Napoleon Bonaparte began their retreat from Moscow.

In 1864, Confederate Gen. Jubal A. Early attacked Union forces at Cedar Creek, Va.; the Union troops were able to rally and defeat the Confederates.

In 1936, H.R. Ekins of the New York World-Telegram beat out Dorothy Kilgallen of the New York Journal and Leo Kieran of The New York Times in a round-the-world race on commercial fl ights that lasted 18½ days.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX Dear Annie: Your column is the fi rst page I turn to in the newspaper. I now have a problem and hope you can help. My boyfriend, “John,” and I have been together for fi ve years. We have a wonderful relationship. He loves my three young children, and they adore him. John also has a grown daughter, “Sarah,” whom he raised as a single father. Sarah is now 27 and has two young children from two different fa-thers. Her kids are slightly younger than mine. Sarah is resentful and jealous of the relationship John has with my children. The only time John hears from her is when she needs help, and we have given it, emotionally and fi nan-cially. We even took her in for a few months and cared for the children. Her relationships are always in turmoil. Every time Sarah contacts John, she upsets him. I listen to him vent and try to stay out of their relationship. But it hurts me to see him in pain over and over. Sarah recently mentioned that she was diagnosed with bipolar disease, but we have no idea what type of treatment (if any) she is receiving. What is the best way to handle Sarah? How do I keep my boyfriend from being hurt every time she calls? -- Concerned Girlfriend Dear Concerned: You cannot prevent John from being hurt by his daughter’s words or actions. Allowing him to vent gives him a release valve for his pain, which is probably the most helpful thing you can do right now. Sarah needs to grow up, and that takes longer for some people than for others. You also can reassure John that he’s a great guy, and that Sarah is simply having a hard time adjusting to his current situation. Her behavior is a way of seeking his undivided at-tention. You could suggest he encourage Sarah to talk to her doctor about medication and therapy. Beyond that, try to make your presence in his life an oasis of peace. Dear Annie: My boyfriend of two years assured me that my

new smart-phone plan would allow me to use all of the same services I get at home while I am traveling. So on a recent trip, I used it as I normally would. Upon returning home, I was faced with a bill for more than $200. He admits he misread the phone’s website information, but feels no obligation to pay even half of my bill. I think it would be the honorable thing to do, especially since he makes three times what I do. What do you think? -- Disappointed Dear Disappointed: Yes, it would be honorable for him to offer to pay a portion of your bill since you used it on his advice, and you can ask him. It doesn’t speak well for his character that he would hang you out to dry. But it’s your phone. You are ultimately responsible for understanding the costs involved. Consider it an expensive lesson in learning to double-check the facts. Dear Annie: Your advice to “In the Middle” was dead on. Her husband will never nag or shame their daughter into los-ing weight. I speak from experience. My late father (an un-derweight picky eater) nagged, harangued and shamed me about my weight for most of my life. Not only did it reinforce my feelings of worthlessness, but it also made me angry and motivated me to eat in secret for comfort. “Middle’s” daughter has to control her own life, regard-less of whether Dad agrees with her choices or not. I wonder why Dad has so much trouble having an overweight child. Is he really concerned for her, or is he embarrassed by her? Or maybe he is simply prejudiced against overweight women, like many people. I’m now 53 and still overweight. I’m trying to eat more healthfully, but it’s a tremendous struggle to ignore a lifetime of negativity from Dad. The less Mom supports him or argues with him the better. -- Been There, Done That

The only time John hears from her is when she needs help, and we have given it, emotionally and fi nan-cially. We even took her in for a few months and cared for the children. Her relationships are always in turmoil. Every time Sarah contacts John, she upsets him. I listen to him vent and try to stay out of their relationship. But it hurts me to see him in pain over and over. Sarah recently mentioned that she was diagnosed with bipolar disease, but we have no idea what type of treatment (if any) she is receiving. What is the best way to handle Sarah? How do I keep my boyfriend from being hurt every time she calls? -- Concerned Girlfriend Dear Concerned: You cannot prevent John from being hurt by his daughter’s words or actions. Allowing him to vent gives him a release valve for his pain, which is probably the most helpful thing you can do right now. Sarah needs to grow up, and that takes longer for some people than for others. You also can reassure John that he’s a great guy, and that Sarah is simply having a hard time adjusting to his current situation. Her behavior is a way of seeking his undivided at-tention. You could suggest he encourage Sarah to talk to her doctor about medication and therapy. Beyond that, try to make your presence in his life an oasis of peace. Dear Annie: My boyfriend of two years assured me that my

new smart-phone plan would allow me to use all of the same services I get at home while I am traveling. So on a recent trip, I used it as I normally would. Upon returning home, I was faced with a bill for more than $200. He admits he misread the phone’s website information, but feels no obligation to pay even half of my bill. I think it would be the honorable thing to do, especially since he makes three times what I do. What do you think? -- Disappointed Dear Disappointed: Yes, it would be honorable for him to offer to pay a portion of your bill since you used it on his advice, and you can ask him. It doesn’t speak well for his character that he would hang you out to dry. But it’s your phone. You are ultimately responsible for understanding the costs involved. Consider it an expensive lesson in learning to double-check the facts. Dear Annie: Your advice to “In the Middle” was dead on. Her husband will never nag or shame their daughter into los-ing weight. I speak from experience. My late father (an un-derweight picky eater) nagged, harangued and shamed me about my weight for most of my life. Not only did it reinforce my feelings of worthlessness, but it also made me angry and motivated me to eat in secret for comfort. “Middle’s” daughter has to control her own life, regard-less of whether Dad agrees with her choices or not. I wonder why Dad has so much trouble having an overweight child. Is he really concerned for her, or is he embarrassed by her? Or maybe he is simply prejudiced against overweight women, like many people. I’m now 53 and still overweight. I’m trying to eat more healthfully, but it’s a tremendous struggle to ignore a lifetime of negativity from Dad. The less Mom supports him or argues with him the better. -- Been There, Done That

New Hampshire Boat Museum honors Hank Why, names award in his honor

Joe DeChiaro receives the fi rst annual Hank Why Volunteer Award from the Boat Museum for his work on the Community Sailing Pro-gram. Joe receives his award from Hank Why. (Courtesy photo)

WOLFEBORO — The New Hampshire Boat Museum honored retiring Board Chair Hank Why at this year’s annual Volunteer Cookout on Septem-ber 27.

Over 130 museum volunteers were on hand to thank Why for his 14 years of dedicated and loyal service to the museum. Current board chair Rick Kourian presented Hank with a plaque thanking him for his impact on the museum over the years. As a lasting tribute, the museum board also renamed the Volunteer of the Year Award to the Hank Why Volunteer Award.

This award is given out each year to a museum volunteer who has shown exemplary dedication and devotion to some aspect of the museum’s operations.

Why and his family purchased their home on Wolfeboro Bay in 1968. After retiring, Why was asked to join the board during the infancy of the museum in 1999. He quickly took on further leader-ship roles by assuming the position of treasurer and then co-chair.

Like many museum members, Why has purchased and restored a number of boats. His fi rst was Hepcat, a 1930 Chris-Craft Runabout. With the assistance of George Johnson, he restored the boat to its origi-nal specifi cations. He proudly relaunched Hepcat on Winnipesaukee in 1995. Subsequent restorations by Hank include a 1947 Chris-Craft and two Lymans.

Why realized that in order to grow and prosper, the museum needed to be more than just a building con-taining beautiful boats. It needed educational out-reach programs as well. He helped launch a number of them including Boat Building, the Community Sailing program, the Race Boat Regatta, and Model Yacht Building and Sailing. He also spearheaded the building of the Museum’s Collection Storage Build-ing and continually did fundraising for the museum.

Kourian remarked “We appreciate all that Hank has done for the Boat Museum over the past 14 years. Thanks to Hank’s leadership, the Museum is on fi rm footing and poised to grow to the next level. The Board of Trustees cannot thank Hank enough

for all he has done for the museum.”After receiving his plaque, Why in turn pre-

sented the annual Hank Why Volunteer Award to Joe DeChiaro. Last year DeChiaro took over chair-ing the Community Sailing committee. He and his crew of helpers are in charge of the upkeep of the museum’s sailing fl eet. Staff from the Wolfeboro Parks and Recreation Department use the boats in their extremely popular youth and adult sailing pro-grams.

Each year, over 130 volunteers contribute count-less hours to the museum’s many programs. The annual Volunteer Cookout held at Camp Belknap is the museum’s way of saying thank you to these integral volunteers who keep the museum running.

HOLDERNESS — Squam Lakes Natural Science Center recently introduced a new otter to the River Otter Exhibit.

The new male river otter was res-cued from the 2010 Gulf oil spill off the coast of Louisiana. He was found abandoned at just two weeks old and was sent to an animal rehabilitator who specializes in river otters. The rehabilitator taught the otter to do everything from learning to swim to how to eat shellfish. In the daily course of necessary rehabilitation the otter became habituated to humans, which made him unable to be released back into the wild.

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is accredited through the Association of Zoos and Aquari-ums, a national non-profit organiza-tion dedicated to the advancement of zoos and aquariums in the areas of conservation, education, science, and recreation. AZA Accreditation assures visitors that they are sup-porting an institution dedicated to providing excellent care for animals, a great experience for visitors, and a better future for all living things. AZA Accreditation also provides a network of institutions for animal placement. When the animal rehabilitator was looking to place the river otter in a permanent location Squam Lakes Natural Science Center was able to answer the call.

The male river otter arrived in New Hampshire in September and spent a period of time quarantined for the

safety of all of the animals at the Sci-ence Center. Upon receiving a clean bill of health, he was slowly intro-duced to the River Otter Exhibit and met the existing female river otter already on exhibit.

Animal introductions can be tricky even if you know the general behavior of the species you never know how one animal will react to another until they meet face to face. The introduction of the two river otters went relatively slowly and they were able to hear and smell each other before they could see one another. It was a smooth process, with nose to nose contact following a visual introduction, then finally they met face to face.

Both river otters are currently on display at the River Otter Exhibit. The new male river otter, in particu-lar, is very interactive with people and will show off his swimming skills for visitors and go right up to the win-dows to get close to people.

“We are very happy to introduce our newest river otter to the public. He is extremely playful and so entertaining to watch and interact with,” said Iain MacLeod, Executive Director “The two otters together seem to be socializing well and interacting. It’s fun to watch them.”

Visitors can see the river otters interact during regular trail hours, 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. (last trail admis-sion at 3:30 p.m.) or during River Otter Enrichment, every Monday, Wednes-day, and Friday at 11:30 a.m. through October 31. More information can be found at www.nhnature.org.
