BELMONT — Police arrested a former Lowell, Mass. man who’s life has twice been portrayed in movies for allegedly stealing a man’s debit card from the Planet Fitness locker room and trying to use it in Shaw’s supermarket. Both stores in are in the Belknap Mall on Rte. 3. Gary M. “Boo Boo” Guiffrida is charged with three misdemeanor counts of receiv-
ing stolen property, one count of default or breach of bail, and two counts of fraudulent use of a credit card. Police affidavits filed in circuit court said Giuffrida, 58, of 339 High St. 1st Floor, Lowell, Mass. took a male victim’s credit card on Sunday evening. The man notified the Belmont Police when he realized it was gone. When the victim called his bank to report it stolen he learned someone had attempted to use it in Shaw’s. The victim
said he saw one man in the locker room and described him as a white male about 6-feet tall, between 55 and 60 who weighed 225230 pounds. When police interviewed two Shaw’s employees they were told the man was “sketchy looking” and missing his two front teeth. She said he had tried to purchase alcohol and cigarettes but didn’t know the PIN and the transaction failed. see BOO BOO page 8

A vision of downtown as the Riverside Loop BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Seeking to “change the conversation,” John Moriarity has festooned the windows of 600 Main Street with renderings of a vision of downtown recast as “Riverside Loop,” explaining “I want to replace the downtown brand of ‘for sale, for lease, for rent’ with an image of what can happen.” Moriarity is one of the four partners of Lakes Region Acquisitions, LLC, the group that purchased and renovated the former Sundial Shop building in 2010, which but for two inherited tenants — The Galleria and Edward Jones Invest-

The Rutland Herald reported that Senior Trooper Gary Salvastore of the Vermont State Police said that when interviewed at the hospital, Mason explained that he pulled to the side of U.S. Route 5 when his Dodge 3500 truck ran out of gas. A passerby drove him to Mike’s Mobil Station where he filled a small container with gas. He said that as he was pouring the gas into the tank a car “squared up to him” and accelerated toward him.

Documentary suggests Fla. death row inmate had hand in O.J. Simpson murders
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — A documentary says a Florida death-row inmate might have been involved in the murder of O.J. Simpson’s exwife and her friend, a claim being criticized by one victim’s family and being looked at skeptically by a detective and a prosecutor who dealt with the convict. The Investigation Discovery show, “My Brother the Serial Killer,” will air Wednesday. The film is a look at Glen Rogers, a carnival worker whom Florida jurors convicted in 1997 of killing a woman in a Tampa motel room. Rogers, who is now 50, was also convicted of murder in California and is a suspect in homicides in Mississippi, Louisiana and Kentucky — and possibly several other states. Most of his victims were women he had met in bars while drifting across the country. All of his victims were stabbed to death. With blazing blue eyes, a scraggly beard and see OJ page 7

Former Sen. Warren Rudman dies at 82 CONCORD (AP) — Colleagues knew former Sen. Warren B. Rudman for his abrupt manner, but they trusted his expertise. On one matter in particular, though, he wished people would have listened to him: that the U.S. was vulnerable to a major terrorist attack. Rudman left the Senate in the early 1990s but later led a commission that predicted the danger of terrorism on American soil just months before the attacks of Sept. 11 and called for the creation of a Department of Homeland Security.
“No one seemed to take it seriously, and no one in the media seemed to care,” Rudman said in 2007. “The report went into a dustbin in the White House.” Rudman, who also co-authored a groundbreaking budget balancing law and championed ethics, died just before midnight Monday at a Washington, D.C., hospital of complications from lymphoma, said Bob Stevenson, a longtime friend and spokesman. Rep. Charlie Bass of New Hampshire didn’t serve with him, but looked up to Rudman, who died Monday.
“He’d say, ‘Vote the tough way,’ and he’d say, ‘Don’t let people push you around,’” Bass recalled. “’If you know what’s right, vote the way that’s right, and if you’re forceful and persuasive and sure of yourself, people will support you even if they don’t agree with you.’” President Barack Obama pointed to Rudman’s early advocacy for fiscal responsibility in mourning the passing of “one of our country’s great public servants.” “And as we work together to address the see RUDMAN page 9
JERUSALEM (AP) — A diplomatic push to end Israel’s nearly weeklong offensive in the Gaza Strip gained momentum Tuesday, with Egypt’s president predicting that airstrikes would soon end, the U.S. secretary of state racing to the region and Israel’s prime minister saying his country would be a “willing partner” to a cease-fire with the Islamic militant group Hamas. As international diplomats worked to
cement a deal, senior Hamas officials said some sticking points remained even as relentless airstrikes and rocket attacks between the two sides continued. The Israeli death toll rose to five with the deaths Tuesday of an Israeli soldier and a civilian contractor. More than 130 Palestinians have been killed. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton held a late-night meeting with
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after rushing to the region from Cambodia, where she had accompanied President Barack Obama on a visit. “The goal must be a durable outcome that promotes regional stability and advances the security and legitimate aspirations of Israelis and Palestinians alike,” she said at a news conference with Netanyahu. see ISRAEL page 9
LONDON (AP) — The Church of England’s governing body blocked a move Tuesday to permit women to serve as bishops in a vote so close it failed to settle the question of female leadership and likely condemned the institution to years more
debate on the issue. The General Synod’s daylong debate ended with the rejection of a compromise that was intended to unify the faithful despite differing views on whether women should be allowed in the hierarchy. But
backers failed to gain the necessary majority by six votes. “There is no victory in the coming days,” said Rev. Angus MacLeay. “It is a train crash.” The defeat was a setback for Archbishop see ANGLICANS page 5

Pat Buchanan
Mitt wasn’t all wrong about ‘gifts’ “What the president’s campaign did was focus on certain members of his base coalition, give them extraordinary financial gifts from the government and then work very aggressively to turn them out to vote, and that strategy worked.” Thus did political analyst Mitt Romney identify the cause of his defeat in a call to disconsolate contributors. Republicans piled on. “Completely unhelpful,” Gov. Bobby Jindal told Wolf Blitzer. We don’t advance the “debate by insulting folks.” “A terrible thing to say,” Chris Christie told Joe Scarborough. “You can’t expect to be the leader of all the people and be divisive.” Oh. Was not Abe Lincoln at least mildly “divisive”? Did not FDR insult Wall Street folks by calling them “money changers in the temple of our civilization”? Was Ronald Reagan a uniter not a divider when he said, “Let the bloodbath begin!” and mocked “welfare queens”? And Harry Truman, did he not insult and divide — and win? “I just think it’s nuts,” Newt Gingrich told ABC’s Martha Raddatz of Romney’s remark, kicking him again in an Austin TV interview: “Gov. Romney’s analysis ... is insulting and profoundly wrong. ... We didn’t lose Asian-Americans because they got any gifts. He did worse with Asian-Americans than he did with Latinos. This is the hardest-working and most successful ethnic group in America, okay, they ain’t into gifts.” Now, Newt does have a point. What explains the GOP wipeout among Asian-Americans? Folks of Korean, Chinese and Japanese descent have a legendary work ethic, are academic overachievers, and are possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit. They should be natural Republicans. But Mitt also has a point. Consider America’s largest, fastestgrowing minority. Hispanics constituted 10 percent of the electorate, up from 7.5 in 2008. But Mitt got only 27 percent of that, the lowest of any Republican presidential candidate. This, we are told, was because of Mitt’s comment about “self-deportation” and GOP support for a border fence and sanctions on employers who hire illegals. If only we embrace the Dream Act and provide a path to citizenship — amnesty — the GOP’s problem is solved. The Republican capacity for selfdelusion is truly awesome. Set aside the idealized Hispanic of the Republican consultants’ vision. What does the real Hispanic community look like today? Let us consider only native-born Hispanics, U.S. citizens. According to Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies, which analyzed Census Bureau statistics from 2012: — More than one in five Hispanic
citizens lives in poverty. — One in four Hispanic-American men 25 to 55 is out of work. — More than half of all Hispanic women 25-55 are unmarried. — Half of all Hispanic households with children are headed by an unmarried woman, and 55 percent depend on welfare programs. These numbers do not improve with time, as they did with the Irish, Italian, Polish, Jewish and German immigrants who poured into the United States between 1890 and 1920. Third-generation Hispanics do worse than second-generation Hispanics in all the above categories. This is a huge community being sucked into the morass of a mammoth welfare state. Consider a typical Hispanic household with children. It is headed by an unmarried women who receives food stamps and public housing or rent supplements to feed and house her children. Her kids are educated free from Head Start to K-12 and fed by school breakfast and lunch programs. Should they graduate high school, Pell Grants and student loans are there for college. For cash, mom gets welfare checks. If she takes a job, she will receive an earned income tax credit to supplement her income. If she loses her job, she can get 99 weeks of unemployment checks. For health care, there is Medicaid and ObamaCare. And like 45 percent of all Hispanic households, she has no federal income tax liability. Why should this woman vote for a party that will cut taxes she does not pay, but reduce benefits she does receive? Rename Romney’s gifts “government services,” writes Aaron Blake citing a Washington Post poll, and one discovers that 67 percent of Latinos favor “a larger government with more services.” These are big government people. And why should they not be? According to Heather Mac Donald, writing in National Review, a 2011 survey found that California Hispanics by four to one objected more to the GOP on class-warfare grounds — the party “favors only the rich,” Republicans are “selfish” — than to the GOP stand on immigration. Writes Mac Donald: California’s Hispanics will likely prove more decisive in passing Proposition 30, to raise state income taxes to 13.3 percent, the highest level in the nation, than to Obama’s victory. Nor is this unusual. Populist programs to stick it to the rich have always had an appeal south of the border. There are 50 million Hispanics in America today. California is lost to the GOP. Nevada and Colorado are slipping away. Arizona and Texas are next up on the block. With the U.S. Hispanic population in 2050 projected to reach 130 million, the acolytes of Karl Rove have their work cut out for them.
LETTERS Obama offers path to economic stability for 100% of Americans To the editor, Since the election, Mr. Romney has been making statements that he lost because “certain special-interest groups” who voted for the Democrats were given “big gifts.” He went on call them “takers” who got financial gifts that included Pell Grant Loans for college students, ObamaCare, Medicare, and food stamps. There is nothing new about Romney’s libertarian ideas. Anyone who watched the “The Dust Bowl” by Ken Burns on PBS saw an example of the federal government trying to help a segment of its citizens survive at a time of unspeakable natural disaster. Through the AAA or Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, President Roosevelt attempted to balance supply and demand for farm commodities so that prices would support a decent purchasing power for farmers. The Ken Burns documentary did not point it out, but many business leaders, and those who hated Roosevelt, contended that the Constitution did not give the federal government any power over agriculture. These “patriotic conservatives” thought it was up to the insolvent states of the Dust Bowl to solve their own problems. They were also against the idea of taxing the food
processing industry to pay for farm subsidies. In the U.S. vs. Butler, the Republican-dominated Supreme Court agreed and declared the AAA unconstitutional. Fortunately, in 1938, the Congress rewrote the legislation to overcome the court’s objections. Many politicians, including some Republicans have distanced themselves from Romney’s comments. Unfortunately, no such criticism of these remarks has come from the Tea Party, the business community or right-wing media. This silence speaks volumes about an unpatriotic and dangerous political philosophy that has become ingrained in many of our citizens. This reactionary view of labeling those who benefit from government as “takers” also fits into a larger condemnation of federal efforts that help the poor, the retired, the ill, college students, women and even veterans. The voters were correct in choosing President Obama’s path to economic stability for 100 percent of the American people. He has been working, without much Republican help, to get this nation out of a world-wide slowdown that was caused by the financial meltdown of 2008-09. Nick Vazzana Sandwich
Gilford Rotary Christmas tree lot will be across the street this year To the editor, The Gilford Rotary Christmas Tree Sale starts on Friday, November 30. This year we will be located across Lake Shore Road from Hannaford supermarket, in the parking lot of the former P.S.N.H. building which is located next to Gilford Well Co.

LETTERS Over 75 people were involved in keeping Wyatt Park growing To the editor, Many thanks and congratulations are due to the officers and members of the Wyatt Park Association. Monday night, the Parks Commission approved the conceptual plan of this group that has worked hard and long to put this plan in action and at the same time do so with the approval of 99 percent of the neighborhood. Special thanks must go to Hedi Bright, secretary of the association for her research and development of this
plan, along with Parks Director Kevin Dunleavy. The other members and officers like Sally Perrino, President, Mary Reynolds, Johna Morrien, and Nancy Merrill have worked long and hard to bring this to fruition. Because of their actions and hard work, they have brought together over 75 people and sponsors who will be involved in keeping this park growing and a place for all who wish to use it, young and old.

ANGLICANS from page 2 of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, who retires at the end of December, and his successor, Bishop Justin Welby. Both had strongly endorsed a proposed compromise that would have respected the decision of those who objected to the ordination of women bishops. Instead of ending decades of debate on the issue in the church, the narrow defeat opens the church, which has around 80 million members worldwide, to further years of internal discussions. It also forms an uncomfortable backdrop to the start of Welby’s leadership. He is due to be enthroned in March. Passage of legislation to allow women to serve as bishops must be approved by two-thirds majorities in the synod’s three houses: bishops, priests and laity. Some took heart in the fact that both the bishops and the clergy voted overwhelmingly in favor. But among the laity, the vote fell
short, with 132-74. “This leaves us with a problem,” said Bishop Graham James of Norwich. “Forty-two out of 44 dioceses approved the legislation and more than three-quarters of members of diocesan synods voted in favor. “There will be many who wonder why the General Synod expressed its mind so differently,” James added. Rev. Rachel Weir, leader of Women and the Church, said the group was “absolutely devastated.” “Obviously this will be an enormous blow to clergy women, it’s awful for their morale — but it’s a disaster for the Church of England.” Despite the vote, several bishops noted that a woman, Queen Elizabeth II, is the church’s supreme governor. It has been 36 years since the General Synod declared it had no fundamental objection to ordaining women as priests, and 18 years since the first women were ordained.
Belmont BudCom takes part-time fire inspector position out of 2013 budget By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — The Budget Committee voted last night to eliminate the part-time fire inspector position from the Fire Department’s 2013 budget. It was budgeted for $13,200. Budcom member Sue Harris supported adding the position but the remaining members voted against it. The 15-hour per week position was recommended by selectmen by a 2-to-1 vote. This is the third year Fire Chief David Parenti has requested the position. However, in August, selectmen voted to allow him to hire a part-time fire inspector using about $8,000 from a line item in the building inspector’s budget for a part-time building inspector that was not filled in 2012. Overall, the Fire Department budget request was up about 5 percent, from $1,399,844 in 2012 to $1,7472,446 in 2013, with the majority of the increases coming from retirement contributions, contractual agreements, health insurance and fuel. Selectmen made it clear at the time that the pat-time fire inspector position was temporary and part-time and would need to pass Budget Committee muster to be made permanent. Parenti said the new part-time inspector has completed nearly all of the propane inspections and is now working on places of assembly. The position will remain filled until the end of the year.
When asked who performed the inspections before the part-time fire inspector, Parenti said they were done by either one certified lieutenant, the deputy fire chief or himself. The problem, he said, was a business or a homeowner would schedule an inspection and, if the Fire Department went on a call, the inspection would have to be postponed. Selectman Ruth Mooney, who represents the selectmen on the Budget Committee, said the board, in part, voted to fill the part-time position because they were told the inspecting lieutenant had been injured in an offduty accident and was out of work. He has since returned to work. In other action, the Budget Committee also voted unanimously to give the deputy chief a one-percent raise as opposed to the two-percent raise requested by Parenti and recommended by selectmen. All town employees are getting a one-percent raise in 2013 with no step increases. Parenti justified the raise by doing an examination of the surrounding area’s deputy fire chiefs who perform the same duties and said his was underpaid. The Budget Committee wanted both the chief and the deputy chief to understand that the move was not meant to be personal and was not a reflection on how either of them did their jobs but was driven purely by its desire to keep the tax burden as low as possible.

LACONIA — Two young men who are attending U.S. military academies spoke to members of an AP History Class at Laconia High School Tuesday morning and said their acclaimed colleges offer challenges and real life experiences that are unobtainable in any other institutions of higher learning. West Point Cadet Ken Webber, a 2009 graduate of Gilford High School, is a junior at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y., where he is majoring in computer science and a member of the Alpine Ski Team. He said that while the education is free there’s no such thing as a summer off and that he spent his last two summers in rigorous field training exercises. By contrast Ward Scott III of Plymouth, a midshipman at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, now in his second year, said that he spent a month last summer aboard a French naval vessel. ‘’You get to see incredible parts of the world,’’ said Scott, who is an English major and belongs to the men’s glee club at the Naval Academy and is also a member of the handball team. Both noted that the number of women students at both service academies is increasing and has gone to about 24 percent in recent years. When Scott introduced himself he was keenly aware of football rivalries between Laconia and Plymouth and said that while he lived in Plymouth he didn’t play football there, instead attending the Groton School in Connecticut, where he was captain of that private school’s football team. He said that his father is a retired
Marine Corps veteran and that his older brother, Carl, is a Naval Academy graduate who has served two tours of duty with the Marines in Afghanistan. He has another brother, Alexander, who is a junior at the Naval Academy. Scott said that midshipmen start out at the bottom of the totem pole and work their way up. ‘’When you start out it’s pretty rough, but some day I plan on leading Marines in combat’’ said Scott, who told students that Naval Academy graduates have a choice of becoming an officer in either the Navy or Marines. Webber is the son of Kurt Webber, a member of the Gilford School Board and a West Point graduate who is the New Hampshire State Coordinator for U.S. Military Academy admissions, and is the fourth Kenneth E. Webber in his family to attend West Point. He is the named after his greatgrandfather, Class of 1923, grandfather, Class of 1948 and uncle, Class of 1974. His brother, Kris, graduated from West Point in 2010 and is now an infantry officer in the 10th Mountain Division and will be deployed to Afghanistan in January. He said that his brother has traveled extensively around the world, even meeting the Dali Lama during his travels. Webber also spoke at Gilford and Inter-Lakes high schools yesterday and visited schools in the Concord area Monday. He is an Eagle Scout and is on the staff of the Cadet Scoutmasters Council that runs the West Point camporee every spring, which is the largest annual scouting event in the country.
Lost man calls for help as darkness falls on Mount Major, gets a ride down ALTON — A man was assisted off Mount Major yesterday evening after he strayed from the Yellow Trail and became lost in the woods during his descent. Deputy Fire Chief Richard Brown said the man was about 100 yards off the trail when he realized both his cell phone and his flashlight battery were fading. He couldn’t see the trail because it was too dark. He called emergency with the remaining power he had on his cell phone and Brown said one member of the Department of Fish and Game and two mem-
bers of the Alton Fire Department got the six-by-six off road vehicle and drove up the trail using cell phone coordinates provided by 9-1-1 . Brown said firefighters were able to call out to the man who followed their voices. He accepted a ride down the trail and left in his car. Brown said the man used good judgment by calling when he did rather than trying to find his own way out in the dark knowing that his flashlight and cell phone were fading. — Gail Ober
OJ from page 2 long, blond hair, Rogers was arrested in November 1995, near Waco, Ky., after a nationwide manhunt for the so-called “Cross-Country Killer” and a 100 mph chase. Rogers, who is from Hamilton, Ohio, met Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994 when he was living in Southern California, his family says in the documentary. A criminal profiler in the film says he received paintings by Rogers with clues possibly linking him to the 1994 murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman. The profiler says that Rogers sent him a painting of the murder weapon used in the slayings. “I believe that Glen believes he killed them,” said Anthony Meoli, an Atlanta criminal profiler who has
received more than 1,000 letters from Rogers and has interviewed him in prison. Simpson was accused in those killings but the so-called “trial of the century” in Los Angeles ended with his acquittal in 1995. Simpson never testified at the criminal trial, but memorably demonstrated in court that a glove found near the slaying scene did not fit his hand. He testified at length in a wrongful-death trial that led a Los Angeles civil court jury in 1997 to find him liable for damages in the case. Simpson is serving a prison sentence in Nevada after being convicted in 2008 of leading five men, including two with guns, in a September 2007 confrontation with two sports memorabilia dealers and a middleman at a Las Vegas casino-hotel.

DOWNTOWN from page one “idea,” which he developed in tandem with Russ Poirer of Nash Realty in Meredith. It consists of designating two loops, one within the other. Beacon Street East and Beacon Street West, ringing the downtown core, would form the outer, or “blue,” loop. The inner, or “yellow,” loop would follow Veteran’s Square, where it would be tangential to the outer loop, to Pleasant Street and up Main Street. Each street describing the two loops would be painted with chevrons, blue on the outer loop and yellow on the inner loop, to guide motorists around and through downtown. At the foot of Main Street, as near as possible to the junction with Union Avenue, as well as at the intersection of Main Street and Church Street decorative arches carrying signage over the roadway would welcome visitors to “Riverside Loop.” Moriarity explained that his intent is fourfold: to simplify navigation, establish a brand, build a destination and create a community. The project, he believes, could be undertaken at minimal cost without funding from property taxpayers. The result, he said, would signal potential, convey opportunity and promise action. The loop, Moriarity said, would delineate a zone for what he called “a bona
Furthermore, what he calls the “Riverside Loop” lies within both a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) district and Economic Revitalization Zone (ERZ). Tax increment financing allows municipalities to define TIF districts, then apply a portion of the future tax revenues that accrue from the increase in assessed value generated by new construction, expansion or renovation of property in the district to either provide funds or service borrowings for public improvements within it. Firms investing capital and expanding employment within ERZs may qualify for credits against their liability for state business taxes. “We have begun a smoldering discussion about economic development,” Moriarity said, adding that the Main Street Initiative seeks to establish partnerships with the Belknap County Economic Development Council, the city’s Planning Development and other organizations. The next step, said Moriarity, is to determine “what will attract people downtown.” He said that although he has some ideas about what could serve as that magnet, but for the moment prefers to keep them to himself. Meanwhile, he has prepared a power point presentation, which he has presented to local civic organizations and hopes

ISRAEL from page 2 Netanyahu said Israel would welcome a diplomatic solution to the crisis but threatened further military activity, saying he was ready to take “whatever action” is necessary. Top Hamas officials in Cairo, where cease-fire talks were being held, said no deal had been reached as of late Tuesday. “Most likely the deal will be struck tomorrow. Israel has not responded to some demands which delayed the deal,” Hamas official Izzat Risheq said. Israeli officials said only that “intensive efforts” were under way to end the fighting. Israeli media quoted Defense Minister Ehud Barak as telling a closed meeting that Israel wanted a 24-hour test period of no rocket fire to see if Hamas could enforce a truce. In what appeared to be a last-minute burst of heavy fire, Israeli tanks and gunboats shelled targets late Tuesday, and an airstrike killed two brothers riding on a motorcycle. The men weren’t identified. Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi, perhaps the most important interlocutor between Hamas, which rules the Palestinian territory, and the Israelis, said the negotiations between the two sides would yield “positive results” during the coming hours. Israel demands an end to rocket fire from Gaza and a halt to weapons smuggling into Gaza through tunnels under the border with Egypt. It also wants international guarantees that Hamas will not rearm or use Egypt’s Sinai region, which abuts both Gaza and southern Israel, to attack Israelis. Hamas wants Israel to halt all attacks on Gaza and lift tight restrictions on trade and movement in and out of the territory that have been in place since Hamas seized Gaza by force in 2007. Israel has rejected such demands in the past. In Brussels, a senior official of the European Union’s foreign service said a cease-fire would include an end of Israeli airstrikes and targeted killings in Gaza, the opening of Gaza crossing points and an end to rocket attacks on Israel. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. Violence raged on as the talks continued. An airstrike late Tuesday killed two journalists who work for the Hamas TV station, Al-Aqsa, according to a statement from the channel. The men were in a car hit by an airstrike, Gaza health official Ashraf alKidra said. Israel claims that many Hamas journalists are involved in militant activities. Earlier this week it targeted the station’s offices, saying it served as a Hamas communications post.

RUDMAN from page 2 fiscal challenges of our time, leaders on both sides of the aisle would be well served to follow Warren’s example of common-sense bipartisanship,” Obama said in a statement Tuesday. Stevenson acknowledged Rudman could be abrupt, but said his peers respected him because he did his homework and was true to his word. “He was a bulldog in the Senate. He set the standard for independence,” he said. The feisty New Hampshire Republican went to the Senate in 1981 with a reputation as a tough prosecutor, and was called on by Senate leaders and presidents of both parties to tackle tough assignments. He is perhaps best known from his Senate years as co-sponsor of the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings budget-cutting law. He left the Senate in 1993, saying
the law never reached its potential because Congress and presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush played politics instead of insisting on spending cuts. “People are willing to risk their lives for their country in times of war,” he said at the time. “They ought to be able to risk an election in a time of economic trouble.” Rudman “always had the national good in mind,” said former U.S. Sen. Ernest “Fritz” Hollings. “He wasn’t extreme one way or the other, except for the good of the country,” said Hollings from his South Carolina office. “He was balanced. That’s what we need.” In 2001, before the 9/11 attacks, he co-authored a report on national security with former Sen. Gary see next page

from preceding page Hart of Colorado that said a major terrorist attack on American soil was likely within 25 years. It was revived after the Sept. 11 attacks, and one suggestion, forming Homeland Security, was adopted. Six years later, Rudman said the sprawling department wasn’t functioning well and the country would be hit again. “It is not a question, I’m sorry to tell you, of ‘if.’ It’s a question of ‘when,’” Rudman said. A former New Hampshire attorney general, Rudman was named chairman of the Senate Ethics Committee in 1985, a sensitive job that many colleagues avoided. Throughout his Senate career, Rudman was cited for his work on the Defense Appropriations subcommittee, where he supported a strong national defense but opposed expensive, high-tech weaponry. The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act was approved in 1985. It was designed to end federal deficits by 1991 and required automatic spending cuts if annual deficit targets were missed. Congress rolled back the timetable each year, and the 1991 budget that was supposed to be balanced carried the second-highest deficit in history. In 1995, 10 years after the law went on the books, Rudman lamented what could have been. “Had we stuck to that plan, had the Congress not failed to follow it through — in fact, had presidents not failed to follow through — we would not be where we are today,” Rudman said. He said balancing the budget would require making wealthy retirees pay more of their medical costs, slowing the growth of discretionary spending, cutting waste in some agencies and eliminating unnecessary agencies. He continued the fight after leaving the Senate. He and former Democratic Sen. Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts founded the Concord Coalition, which campaigns for a balanced budget. During the biggest scandal of the Reagan years, Rudman, an outspoken member of the Senate’s Iran-Contra Committee, said key administration officials had showed “pervasive dishonesty” and disdain for the law by selling weapons to Nicaraguan rebels. During the 1987 hearings, he lectured Marine Lt. Col. Oliver L. North, the operation’s key figure, about helping to hide the sale from Congress for fear it would have been rejected. “The American people have the
constitutional right to be wrong,” he told North. “And what Ronald Reagan thinks or Oliver North thinks or what I think or what anybody else thinks makes not a whit.” Rudman also served on the committee that investigated the “Keating Five,” senators with ties to the savings and loan debacle in 1991. The committee found California Democrat Alan Cranston had improperly aided former savings and loan executive Charles Keating Jr. When Cranston said he did only what others did, Rudman called the defense “arrogant, unrepentant and a smear on this institution.” He was born May 18, 1930, in Boston, graduated from Syracuse University in 1952 and got his law degree from Boston College in 1960. In six years as state attorney general, beginning in 1970, Rudman established consumer protection and environmental divisions. As a private citizen after leaving office, he founded and led the Citizens Alliance Against Casinos in 1977, to keep casino gambling out of New Hampshire. With no experience in elective politics, Rudman arrived in the Senate by winning an 11-candidate primary in 1980, then defeating Democratic incumbent John Durkin. After Rudman left the Senate in 1993, President Bill Clinton appointed him vice chairman of the influential President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He also led or was a member of investigative teams or federal commissions that looked into: — An $11 billion accounting failure scandal at Fannie Mae, the mortgage company. — Allegations that major dealers on the Nasdaq stock market colluded to fix prices. — Violence between Israel and Palestinians. — Ailments affecting veterans of the first Gulf War. The panel drew criticism from veterans’ groups by concluding that stress was the most likely cause of some illnesses suffered by thousands of veterans, not exposure to chemical warfare or smoke and dust from depleted uranium ammunition. Memorial services are planned in New Hampshire and Washington, though arrangements are incomplete, Stevenson said. The Washington service will be Nov. 29 with a location yet to be determined.

Mason is well-known in Meredith where he is remembered for generously giving his time and talent to the reconstruction of Indian Island at the head of Meredith Bay. Mason described the car as a mid-
sized black sedan, perhaps a Honda or Nissan. Police believe the front windshield, hood and passenger window of the car were damaged by the collision. Vermont State Police are seeking assistance from the public in locating the vehicle and have encouraged the driver, who is facing possible criminal charges, to surrender to police. Anyone with information about the incident that could lead to finding the vehicle or identifying its driver should contact the Vermont State Police at the Royalton barracks, 802-234-9933.
OB/GYNs back sale of overthe-counter birth control pills
WASHINGTON (AP) — No prescription or doctor’s exam needed: The nation’s largest group of obstetricians and gynecologists says birth control pills should be sold over the counter, like condoms. Tuesday’s surprise opinion from these gatekeepers of contraception could boost longtime efforts by women’s advocates to make the pill more accessible. But no one expects the pill to be sold without a prescription any time soon: A company would have to seek government permission first, and it’s not clear if any are considering it. Plus there are big questions about what such a move would mean for many women’s wallets if it were no longer covered by insurance. Still, momentum may be building. Already, anyone 17 or older doesn’t need to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill — a higherdose version of regular birth control that can prevent pregnancy if taken shortly after unprotected sex. Earlier this year, the Food and Drug Administration held a meeting to gather ideas about how to sell regular oral contraceptives without a prescription, too. Now the influential American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is declaring it’s safe to sell the pill that way. Wait, why would doctors who make money from women’s yearly visits for a birth-control prescription advocate giving that up? Half of the nation’s pregnancies every year are unintended, a rate that hasn’t changed in 20 years — and easier access to birth control pills could help, said Dr. Kavita Nanda, an OB/GYN who co-authored the opinion for the doctors group. “It’s unfortunate that in this country where we have all these contracep-
tive methods available, unintended pregnancy is still a major public health problem,” said Nanda, a scientist with the North Carolina nonprofit FHI 360, formerly known as Family Health International. Many women have trouble affording a doctor’s visit, or getting an appointment in time when their pills are running low — which can lead to skipped doses, Nanda added. If the pill didn’t require a prescription, women could “pick it up in the middle of the night if they run out,” she said. “It removes those types of barriers.” Tuesday, the FDA said it was willing to meet with any company interested in making the pill nonprescription, to discuss what if any studies would be needed. Then there’s the price question. The Obama administration’s new health care law requires FDA-approved contraceptives to be available without copays for women enrolled in most workplace health plans. If the pill were sold without a prescription, it wouldn’t be covered under that provision, just as condoms aren’t, said Health and Human Services spokesman Tait Sye. ACOG’s opinion, published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, says any move toward making the pill nonprescription should address that cost issue. Not all women are eligible for the free birth control provision, it noted, citing a recent survey that found young women and the uninsured pay an average of $16 per month’s supply. The doctors group made clear that: —Birth control pills are very safe. Blood clots, the main serious side effect, happen very rarely, and are a bigger threat during pregnancy and right after giving birth.

School Board & City Hall want to make sure Laconia lawmakers are prepped for 2013 session of Legislature BY ROGER AMSDEN
FOR FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — The School Board and City Council want to meet with state lawmakers from the city sometime in early December to discuss issues which will come before the next Legislature when it convenes in January. School Board member Scott Vachon said that Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin and City Manager Scott Meyers both favor holding a legislative breakfast meeting at the Huot Center in early December with local legislators, including newly-elected State Senator Andrew Hosmer and members of the city’s five member House delegation. Board member Beth Arsenault, who was elected to the Legislature in the new floterial district which includes Belmont said that the meeting should be held after December 5, when new legislators are sworn in. Among the issues which would be ripe for discussion is the restoration of funding for the CHINS (Children in Need of Supervision) program, which Champlin said was drastically cut and should be reinstated. Most juvenile delinquency and children in need of services (CHINS) petitions are processed through the N.H. district and family court system with the court determining the appropriate course of action or services that best meet the needs of the child and family. Services can range from residential, community, home based or institutional services. ‘’Funding is virtually gone. The Legislature needs to reinstate it. The program gives us a partner when there are family problems and it’s a costeffective method of dealing with situations.’’ said Champlin. Arsenault said that the lack of funding for CHINS could actually increase costs to the city, as a failure to deal with the problem at the local level could lead to costly put-of-district placements for students whose needs weren’t being met. Vachon, who provided an update on legislative activity to other board members, pointed out the impact state legislative activity can have on
local school budgets by noting out that changes in the state retirement system laws enacted in the last session, which eliminated the state’s 35 percent contribution to retirement funding, will result in a $385,000 increase in the that account in next year’s School District budget. He said the city faces the same situation and that there will be an impact of over $700,000 on the combined city and school budgets. He also said that the sequestration of federal funds that will take place if Congress doesn’t resolve the so-called “fiscal cliff” situation would result in major funding losses for federal Title I programs and special education that would total billions of dollars nationally starting in 2014 and would have a severe impact on Laconia schools. Champlin said that the School District’s health insurance rates will increase by 6.7 percent next school year, which translates into an additional $300,000 in that budget line item. But he said that since the school district switched to School Care as its insurance carrier, rate increases have slowed from 9.9 percent to 7.7 percent in the second year and 6.7 percent this year. ‘’Most insurance rate increases are in the 9-10 percent range, so this is a good number for us,’’ said Champlin, who said that the district is also looking at a consumer-directed health concept which could help reduce increases. Vachon cautioned that the district should look closely at the fine print to ensure that it still provided for health care to be delivered locally and not diverted out of the community. The board received an update from Champlin on the Huot building project and he said that the second floor of he 32,000-square-foot addition is up and that the walls and the roof will all be tightened up before the holiday break and that site work on the new athletic field is on or ahead of schedule. He also said that he capital campaign for the Huot project has reached $800,000 in financial contributions and $200,000 in in-kind contributions.
Plaistow couple suspected of burning boy, 3 PLAISTOW (AP) — Police are looking for a New Hampshire couple suspected of inflicting burns and bruises on a 3-year-old boy. Police in Plaistow received a call last week from Exeter Hospital that a child with significant head injuries was admitted there. The boy was later taken to Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth in Lebanon, where is recovering after surgery. Police said the child’s vision is impaired. Police Lt. William Baldwin said the boy’s condition is improving, but his recovery will be long and difficult. He called the child’s injuries disturbing. “We cannot fathom for the life
of us why someone could put a child through this,” he said Baldwin said the boy’s mother, 23-year-old Jessica Linscott and her boyfriend, 27-year-old Roland Dow, told police over the phone the injuries were self-inflicted, but doctors rejected that. The couple said they would go to the police on Monday, but Baldwin said that didn’t happen. Police believe someone is hiding them. Arrest warrants are out charging the couple with child endangerment and neglect. U.S. Marshals, the Rockingham County Sheriff’s Department and Newton police are helping investigators.

Moultonborough tax rate up 23¢ for 2012 MOULTONBOROUGH — The 2012 property tax rate has been set at $8.56 per thousand dollars of valuation and tax bills are anticipated to be mailed out by the end of this month. Payment will be due by January 2, 2013. This new rate represents an increase of 2.76 percent from the current rate of $8.33 per thousand with the town’s overall valuation staying roughly the same as the previous year. The town’s tax collector reminds taxpayers that in order to deduct real estate taxes from their 2012 federal income tax, the payment needs to be postmarked no later than December 31, 2012. Although Town Hall will be closed for business on that day, payments by check placed into the drop box at the entry door will also be eligible for the deduction. At its meeting of November 15, the Selectboard applied roughly $430,000 of the town’s fund balance
(rainy day fund) to lower the overall impact of the increase. The new rate, with a minor variance for rounding, breaks down as $2.20 per thousand for local schools, which is up 23 cents, $1.11 for the county tax, which is up 5 cents, $2.53 for the state education tax, which is down 1 cent, and $2.73 for the town tax which is down 4 cents. Joel Mudgett, chairman of the Selectboard said, “It is never well received when the tax rate needs to go up but I am pleased that the board was able to modestly reduce the portion of the bill for which it is responsible.” The tax bill mailing will also include the semi-annual newsletter with stories on recent upgrades of the Town’s CodeRED community notification system, expansion of the Blue Loon bus service, the town’s new year round prescription drug drop-off and other items of note.
Army vet who was pulling Texas float said ‘in shock’ MIDLAND, Texas (AP) — The driver of a parade float filled with wounded veterans and their spouses that was struck by a freight train in West Texas is an Army veteran himself who is “in shock” over the accident that killed four people, an attorney said Tuesday. Dale Andrew Hayden was driving a flatbed truck that investigators say edged across a railroad crossing despite warning signals of a fast approaching train, Hayden’s attorney, Hal Brockett said. “Words can’t express the sorrow and remorse for the people who got hurt and killed,” Brockett said in an interview. The revelation of who the driver was came as the National Transportation Safety Board conducted a sight distance test at the crash site. A train and a truck similar to those involved in the accident were driven across the site at various intervals, and the railroad crossing was activated. Four veterans were killed in the collision in Midland on Thursday. Sixteen people were injured. Investigators say the float began crossing the train tracks even though warning bells were sounding and the crossing lights were flashing. A Union Pacific train travelling at more than 60 mph ran into the truck as the occupants scrambled to jump to safety. Hayden, who has a military career spanning more than three decades, now works as a truck driver for Smith Industries, an oilfield services company.
2nd Annual
Brockett said the company placed Hayden on medical leave. Hayden is “kind of catatonic” and not ready to be interviewed, Brockett said. “He’s just very much in shock.” Doug Fletcher, a Dallas attorney representing Smith Industries, said Hayden is an Army reservist who has been driving for the company for two years and may have driven in the parade before. Hayden is undergoing “professional counseling,” Fletcher said. “He is beyond distraught.” Fletcher said the company is taking steps to protect the driver after he received “some hate emails.” No one responded to a knock on the door at a mobile home listed as Hayden’s residence Tuesday. At the NTSB sight distance test, a train pulling 10 cars rolled through the intersection, then was backed up about a half mile and driven right to the threshold of the crossing. The train wasn’t traveling at the same speed as the one that crashed Thursday. The same type of simulation was undertaken with the truck. NTSB investigators in yellow vests took photos. Reporters watched from a parking lot that still has the painted outlines of where bodies were thrown from the parade float. Midland police also are investigating the crash, but it’s not clear what, if any, criminal charges will be filed.

15-year-old Florida boy charged with fatal shooting on school bus MIAMI (AP) — A South Florida teen was charged with fatally shooting a girl in front of her younger sister and several other students while riding the bus to school Tuesday morning, Miami-Dade police said. The 15-year-old male student was taken into custody at the scene in Homestead and later charged with manslaughter and carrying a concealed firearm. The Associated Press does not identify juvenile offenders. An arrest report says the minor took a gun from his backpack and began displaying it on the bus. He then fired it once, hitting Lourdes Guzman. The 13-year-old girl was airlifted to a Miami hospital, where she died. Eight other children, including Guzman’s 7-year-old sister, were on the bus but were not harmed. Authorities took the children and the bus driver to a police station to be interviewed. Guzman attended the charter middle school Palm Glades Preparatory Academy. Her sister went to nearby Summerville Advantage Academy. Concerned parents gathered at the shooting site, which was cordoned off by crime scene tape as authorities combed the bus for evidence and gathered children’s backpacks and belongings. The shooting happened about seven minutes away from the school. Fabian Otero said he was relieved his son Christian, an eighth-grader
at Palm Glades, rode to school with his wife. He said he and his wife have been shaken by the killing and are going to discuss enrolling their son in a different school or possibly homeschooling him. “I was stunned! I was stunned!” he said. “That hits really close to home. That’s just scary.” About a dozen parents picked up their children early, said Lynn Norman-Teck, a spokeswoman for the Florida Consortium of Public Charter Schools. Many of the students had not heard about the shooting and the school did not make an announcement before classes were dismissed, but word started to trickle out as they walked outside to waiting school buses. Thirteen-year-old Eric Carillo said he was in the same class as Guzman a few years ago. “She was a good girl. She was fun,” Carillo said. Sarah Baer said she wouldn’t let her daughter walk home from school because there are rough neighborhoods a few blocks away. “I always take my daughter to and from school. This is so heartbreaking especially right before Thanksgiving,” she said. The school bus was not equipped with video surveillance equipment.
4 Calif. men charged in alleged terror plot LOS ANGELES (AP) — Three California men excited at the prospect of training in Afghanistan to become terrorists prepared, authorities say, by simulating combat with paintball rifles, wiping their Facebook profiles of any Islamic references and concocting cover stories. Just two days before they were going to board a plane bound for Istanbul — and then onto Afghanistan — FBI agents thwarted plans that officials said included killing Americans and bombing U.S. military bases overseas. The arrests last week in the U.S. and of the man said to be the ringleader, 34-year-old American Sohiel Omar Kabir, in Afghanistan was laid out in a 77-page affidavit, which included references to the group’s online video conversations and audio recordings. While authorities don’t believe there were any plans for an attack in the U.S., two of the men arrested told a confidential FBI informant they would consider American jihad, according to the court documents unsealed in federal court Monday. The arrests are the latest in a series of cases where U.S. residents were targeted to become terrorists. Last month, a Minneapolis man was convicted of helping send young men to Somalia to join the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group al-Shabab. Along with Kabir, Ralph Deleon, Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales and Arifeen David Gojali are facing charges of providing material support to terrorists. The charges can carry a maximum 15-year prison sentence upon conviction. Defense attorneys did not immedi-
ately return calls for comment. Federal investigators said Kabir met Deleon and Santana at a hookah bar and introduced them to the radical Islamist doctrine of the U.S.-born extremist cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed last year in an American airstrike in Yemen. Kabir, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Afghanistan, served in the Air Force from 2000 to 2001. He spent some time at Davis Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson, Ariz., pulling aircraft or vehicle parts from a supply store. He was administratively separated for unknown reasons and was given an honorable discharge, the military said. “It was a standard enlistment that ended early but not for reasons of misconduct,” said Air Force spokeswoman Ann Stefanek. According to the court documents, Deleon said meeting Kabir was like encountering someone from the camps run by al-Awlaki or Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid last year on his compound in Pakistan. Kabir was “basically a mujahid walking the streets of LA,” Deleon said, using the term for holy warrior, according to court documents. “He was just waiting to get his papers. And I met him at the point of his life where he was about to go.” Authorities wouldn’t say how the investigation began, but they tracked Kabir’s travels last year and flagged violent extremist messages posted online by Santana. Covert FBI agents had conversations with Santana online where he expressed his support of jihad and desire to join al-Qaida.

Federal Reserve chairman warns Congress to avoid January 1 ‘fiscal cliff’
WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Tuesday urged Congress and the Obama administration to strike a budget deal to avert tax increases and spending cuts that could trigger a recession next year. Without a deal, the measures known as the “fiscal cliff” will take effect in January. Bernanke also said Congress must raise the federal debt limit to prevent the government from defaulting on Treasurys debt. Failure to do so would impose heavy costs on the economy, he said. Bernanke said Congress also needs to reduce the federal debt over the long run to ensure economic growth and stability. Uncertainty about all these issues is likely holding back spending and investment and troubling investors, the Fed chairman said in a speech to the Economic Club of New York. Resolving the fiscal crisis would prevent a sudden and severe shock to the economy, help reduce unemployment and strengthen growth, he said. That could make the new year “a very good one for the American economy,” he said.
“A stronger economy will, in turn, reduce the deficit and contribute to achieving long-term fiscal sustainability,” Bernanke told the group. When asked during a question and answer session after the speech whether the Fed could soften the impact of the fiscal cliff, Bernanke was firm in his warning. “In the worst-case scenario where the economy goes off the broad fiscal cliff ... I don’t think the Fed has the tools to offset that,” Bernanke said. Bernanke also said the severity of the Great Recession may have reduced the U.S. economy’s potential growth rate. He didn’t say by how much or how long slower-than-normal growth might persist. Over the long run, the U.S. economy has grown an average of about 2.5 percent each year. Economists predict growth in the July-September quarter will be revised up to an annual rate of around 3 percent, above the government’s initial 2 percent estimate. But they think the economy is slowing to an annual growth rate below 2 percent in the October-December quarter — too slow to make much of a dent in unemployment. Bernanke said several factors have weighed on growth: Long-term unemployment has eroded many
workers’ skills and led some who have lost jobs to stop looking for one. Companies have spent less on machinery, computers and other goods, reducing their production capacity. Stricter lending rules and uncertainty about the economy may have discouraged would-be entrepreneurs from starting more companies, the Fed chairman said. Even assuming the economy’s potential growth has declined, Bernanke said that unemployment, now at 7.9 percent, is abnormally high. He suggested, though, that the drags on economic growth should fade as the economy heals. By the end of December, just as the fiscal cliff nears, the federal government is expected to hit its borrowing limit. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has said he will resort to the same maneuvers he used during the last debt standoff in 2011 to prevent the government from defaulting on its debt. But these maneuvers would buy only a few weeks’ time, until late February or early March, before the government would face the prospect of a first-ever debt default.

Robert Burrows, 60 NORTH HAVEN — Robert “Sonny” Burrows, 60, died unexpectedly, Friday, November 9, 2012 at Maine Medical Center in Portland. Born in Plymouth, New Hampshire, June 5, 1952, he was the son of Roxy M. Burrows. Robert attended elementary school in Center Sandwich, New Hampshire, before moving to Maine where he graduated from Kennebunk High School. Following high school, Robert began his career as a carpenter. Throughout the years, he has been self-employed and also worked on several carpentry crews. Robert was well known for his beautiful finish work. On July 30, 1999, Robert married Theresa Gove on North Haven. Robert’s greatest joy in life was spending time with his family. Camping, hunting and fishing trips were some of their favorite pastimes. He also enjoyed playing cribbage, gardening and traveling. He was most proud to have traveled to Hawaii, and was looking forward to a second trip this year. He was an avid New England sports fan, never missing a Celtics, Red Sox, Patriots or Bruins game. He took great joy in his daily ritual of an early morning walk with his dogs to Mullin’s Head, followed by a visit and cup of tea with Bud and Ruthie Thayer. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him. Predeceased by his mother and step-father, Roxy and Buster Cluff; a brother-in-law Ernest Clifford; a nephew, Gordon Carter; and cousin, Byron
Lowell, Robert is survived by his wife of 13 years, Theresa Burrows; his children, Charles Robert Lewis Burrows and his partner Chantelle Fecteau, Tammy Brown and her husband Donald, Susie Wellington, Laura Barrett and her fiancé Jason MacDonald, Geoffrey Barrett; his sisters, Ethel Clifford, Betty Sheldon and her husband Ernest; eight grandchildren, Amanda Lantagne, Ryan Lantagne, Racheal Brown, Michael Kelley, Matthew Olson, Chantel Donahue, Chayse MacDonald, Gina MacDonald; his aunt, Mary Bowler; nieces, Anita Carter, Nancy Lamarche and her partner Nick Castel, Edith Carter, Ashlee Gove, Haven Gluck; nephews, Kevin Carter and his wife Melanie, Jeffrey Lamarche, Shawn Quinlan, Wesley Gove; a cousin Peggy Day; his parents-in-law, Gene and Mary Ella Gove; and sisters-in-law Mandy Gove and Sherry Gove.

school athletes, alone, account for an estimated two million injuries, 500,000 doctor visits and 30,000 hospitalizations every year. “With sports injuries on the rise, we need to protect the youth of the area by participating in the STOP Sports Injuries campaign,” stated Dr. Alexander Hennig of Advanced Orthopaedic Specialists. “Regardless of whether the athlete is a professional, an amateur, an Olympian or a young recreational athlete, the number of sports injuries is increasing – but the escalation of injuries in kids is the most alarming,” said Dr. James Andrews, former president of the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) and STOP Sports Injuries Co-Campaign Chair. “Armed with the correct information and tools, today’s young athletes can remain healthy, play safe, and stay in the game for life.” LRGHealthcare is a not-for-profit healthcare charitable trust representing Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin Regional Hospital, and affiliated medical providers.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis may start to wonder whether the job you took on is really within your ability. No one is successful alone. Reach out and let others help you. By doing this, you are also helping them. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Whatever you do, resist doing it the way your loved ones expect you to. Follow your whims, because you have an instinct for where the interesting action is. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Sometimes you have to make up reasons to feel good before those feelgood feelings start flowing. Optimism, even of the irrational variety, is serotonin producing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Little tasks don’t take up much time, but they take up equal brain space as bigger tasks. That’s why if a task can be handled in a matter of a few minutes, you should do it as soon as you think of it. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The novelty you have pursued in the past is now making you a very interesting conversationalist. So don’t hesitate to chase a bit of frivolous fun. It can only help your future social life. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 21). Confidence is gained from trying something new. And for you, Scorpio, there are so many new things to try and people to meet while trying them. Focus on mastering a skill in January. Take a temp job at a company you lust over. Channel your passion for conquering things into action, as no Scorpio has ever gotten ahead by just sitting there. On that note, regarding romance, if you’re feeling loser-ish about your career prospects, your love targets will scatter like frat boys at last call. Aries and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 26, 5, 19 and 30
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Before you delegate a task, you have to be sure you can trust a person’s judgment. If it goes badly, you’ll be the one to blame. Ask questions. If someone doesn’t want to answer, it’s not a good sign. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Discussions among loved ones go to dicey places, but you may be surprised at how well this turns out. You’ll finally see eye-to-eye on an issue. That doesn’t mean you’ll agree, but there’s a mutual respect, and you’ll feel heard. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you could take everyone you know to lunch, you would do it today. You’re in a mood to connect with people, especially those you haven’t contacted in a long while. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not everyone wears a smile that’s backed by a joyful heart. Some smiles are bankrupt. You have compassion for the spirit-poor and do something to spread cheer to those who could use it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You won’t be expected to know all of the answers, but you will be expected to know some of them. Since you hate to be put on the spot, think about what you might be asked, and craft a response. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Social anxiety touches even the most seasoned movers and shakers from time to time. But staying home won’t help this one bit. Push yourself out the door, and join the group. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have a few surprises up your sleeve. In the interest of living fully, you’ll risk going too far. And why not? You’ve already experienced what it’s like not to go far enough. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You

Today is Wednesday, Nov. 21, the 326th day of 2012. There are 40 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 21, 1942, the Alaska Highway, also known as the Alcan Highway, was formally opened at Soldier’s Summit in the Yukon Territory. On this date: In 1789, North Carolina became the 12th state to ratify the U.S. Constitution. In 1861, Judah Benjamin, who had been acting Confederate Secretary of War, was formally named to the post. In 1912, actress and dancer Eleanor Powell was born in Springfield, Mass. In 1920, the Irish Republican Army killed 12 British intelligence officers and two auxiliary policemen in the Dublin area; British forces responded by raiding a soccer match, killing 14 civilians. In 1922, Rebecca L. Felton of Georgia was sworn in as the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate. In 1931, the Universal horror film “Frankenstein,” starring Boris Karloff as the monster and Colin Clive as his creator, was first released. In 1934, the Cole Porter musical “Anything Goes,” starring Ethel Merman as Reno Sweeney, opened on Broadway. In 1969, the Senate voted down the Supreme Court nomination of Clement F. Haynsworth, 55-45, the first such rejection since 1930. In 1973, President Richard Nixon’s attorney, J. Fred Buzhardt (buh-ZAHRDT’), revealed the existence of an 18½-minute gap in one of the White House tape recordings related to Watergate. In 1974, bombs exploded at a pair of pubs in Birmingham, England, killing 21 people. (Six suspects were convicted of the attack, but the convictions of the so-called “Birmingham Six” were overturned in 1991.) In 1980, 87 people died in a fire at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. In 1991, the U.N. Security Council chose Boutros Boutros-Ghali of Egypt to be SecretaryGeneral. One year ago: Congress’ bipartisan deficit reduction “supercommittee,” tasked with finding $1.2 trillion in cuts over a decade, failed; under the law that established the committee, inability to reach a compromise would trigger about $1 trillion in automatic spending cuts in military and domestic government programs beginning in 2013. Today’s Birthdays: Baseball Hall-of-Famer Stan Musial is 92. Actor Joseph Campanella is 85. Country singer Jean Shepard is 79. Actress Marlo Thomas is 75. Actor Rick Lenz is 73. Singer Dr. John is 72. Actress Juliet Mills is 71. Comedian-director Harold Ramis is 68. Television producer Marcy Carsey is 68. Actress Goldie Hawn is 67. Movie director Andrew Davis is 66.

Texas woman sentenced to 80 years After 2nd allegation, ‘Elmo’ after fire at day care killed four children actor resigns from Sesame Street
HOUSTON (AP) — It had been Jessica Tata’s dream to run a day care. She was soon in over her head, caring for too many kids and taking chances by leaving them alone to run errands. The young woman’s actions ultimately proved fatal: Four children died and three others were injured when a fire broke out at her home day care after she had left them alone to go shopping at a nearby Target. On Tuesday, jurors sentenced the 24-year-old woman to 80 years in prison for the death of one of the children, 16-month-old Elias Castillo. She still faces charges related to the rest of the children. “Nobody wins in this situation,” Elias’ great-grandmother, Patty Sparks, said after the sentence was announced. “My heart goes out to the Tata family and those precious mothers and fathers who lost their babies.” Tata, who was only a few years removed from her teens when she started her day care, worked alone most of the time. Investigators said the February 2011 blaze happened when a pan of oil she had left cooking on the stove ignited while she was out shopping. The same jury that decided her sentence had convicted Tata last week of one count of felony murder. The jury could have sentenced her to anywhere from five years to life in prison. Prosecutors had sought a life sentence, while defense attorneys asked only
that jurors not give her an excessive sentence. She will have to serve 30 years of her sentence before she is eligible for parole. Tata also was ordered to pay a $10,000 fine. Jurors deliberated her punishment for seven hours over two days. The former day care owner had no visible reaction after the sentence was announced. Tata’s attorneys contended she was a good person who loved children but made a terrible mistake. Prosecutors argued she was an irresponsible day care owner who had doomed the children when she left them alone. They said Tata had repeatedly left kids she was responsible for unsupervised and it was only a matter of time before her actions led to tragedy. Defense attorney Mike DeGeurin said he still believes Tata should not have been tried for murder because the deaths were an accident. “The sentence is not going to fix things. It’s not going to make anybody feel better later on. But the jury has spoken. That’s their sentence,” DeGeurin said. Tata’s family and friends, who declined to comment after the sentence was announced, had testified she had changed since her troubled teenage years, when she had pleaded guilty to arson for starting two fires at her high school on the same day.
Celebrations in the SUN
Let the entire community know about that important event in your family!
NEW YORK (AP) — Elmo puppeteer Kevin Clash resigned from “Sesame Street” on Tuesday amid allegations he sexually abused underage boys, bringing an end to a 28-year career in which he turned the furry red monster into one of the most beloved — and lucrative — characters on TV and in toy stores. “Personal matters have diverted attention away from the important work ‘Sesame Street’ is doing and I cannot allow it to go on any longer,” the 52-year-old performer said in a statement. “I am deeply sorry to be leaving and am looking forward to resolving these personal matters privately.” His departure came as a 24-year-old college student, Cecil Singleton, sued Clash for more than $5 million Tuesday, accusing the actor of engaging in sexual behavior with him when he was 15. Singleton charged that Clash made a habit of trolling gay chat lines for underage boys and meeting them for sex. It was the second such allegation in just over a week. On Nov. 12, a man in his 20s said he had sex with Clash at age 16. A day later, though, the young man recanted, saying their relationship was adult and consensual. Clash was a young puppeteer at “Sesame Street” in the mid-1980s when he was assigned a little-used puppet now known as Elmo and turned him into a star, creating his high-pitched voice and child-like personality. Clash also served as the show’s senior Muppet coordinator and Muppet captain, winning 23 daytime Emmy awards and one prime-time Emmy. In a statement, Sesame Workshop said that “the controversy surround-
ing Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want” and that Clash had concluded “he can no longer be effective in his job.” “This is a sad day for Sesame Street,” the company said. Clash did not address the new allegations. He said previously that he had an adult and consensual relationship with the first accuser. The divorced father of a grown daughter, he acknowledged that he is gay. At a news conference Tuesday, Singleton said he and Clash met on a gay chat line when he was 15, and for a two-week period, they had sexual contact but not intercourse. He said he didn’t know what Clash did for a living until he was 19 and Googled his name. “I was shocked when I found out what he did for a living,” said Singleton, a student in criminal psychology who lives in New York but would not say where he goes to school. He said he didn’t consider speaking up until he heard about last week’s accusation. “I thought I was a unique circumstance,” Singleton said. “I did not know that it was something he had done habitually.” Singleton’s lawyer, Jeff Herman, said he had been contacted by two other potential victims and expects additional legal action. Sex with a person under 17 is a felony in New York if the perpetrator is 21 or older. Elmo has been a major moneymaker for Sesame Workshop. By one estimate, Elmo toys, such as the giggling Tickle Me Elmo doll, account for one-half to two-thirds of the $75 million in annual sales the Sesame Street toy line generates for Hasbro.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Readers: Happy Thanksgiving to one and all! We hope you are fortunate enough to be spending the holiday with family and friends. We also hope you remembered those who are alone today and would love to be part of your family on this occasion. If it’s too late to include them this year, please make a note on your calendar to invite them next year. Our special thanks to those readers who are spending the day volunteering at shelters and soup kitchens. Bless you for your kind hearts and generosity of spirit.
For the arching of the earth and trees and heavens and the fruit of all three; For the wisdom of the old; For the courage of the young; For the promise of the child; For the strength that comes when needed; For this family united here today. Of those to whom much is given, much is required. May we and our children remember this. Amen.
Dear Annie: A few times in the past, you have printed a Thanksgiving Prayer. The first time I saw it, I cut it out of the paper and read it at our Thanksgiving table. It perfectly expressed what I wanted to say. Unfortunately, I misplaced the poem last year. With all of the chaos after the big meal, I think it was accidentally thrown out. Would you please print it again? This time I will be sure to put it in a very special place so I can have it to read every year. -- Grateful in Arizona
Dear Readers: Here’s one more poem, on the lighthearted side, sent in by a longtime reader. We hope you enjoy it: Twas the Night of Thanksgiving, author unknown Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn’t sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. The leftovers beckoned -- the dark meat and white, but I fought the temptation with all of my might. Tossing and turning with anticipation, the thought of a snack became infatuation. So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore. I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes, pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes. I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground. I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie. But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees... Happy Eating to all! Pass the cranberries, please!
Dear Grateful: With pleasure. Here it is: Thanksgiving Prayer We come to this table today, O Lord, humble and thankful and glad. We thank Thee first for the great miracle of life, for the exaltation of being human, for the capacity to love. We thank Thee for joys both great and simple -For wonder, dreams and hope; For the newness of each day; For laughter and song and a merry heart; For compassion waiting within to be kindled; For the forbearance of friends and the smile of a stranger;
Annie’s Snippet for Thanksgiving (credit Dick Gregory): “One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people.”

On the lam in Belize, software co. founder John McAfee starts a blog
SAN PEDRO, Belize (AP) — Software company founder John McAfee says he’s hiding in plain sight, wearing a disguise as he watches police and reporters stake out his home — and blogging about it all. In the latest twist in the highly-publicized case, McAfee has started his own blog, in which he describes life on the lam after police in Belize called him a “person of interest” in the slaying of fellow American Gregory Viant Faull and asked him to turn himself in for questioning. In phones interviews with The Associated Press, McAfee has never said where he’s hiding. But in his blog this week, he claims to have disguised himself as a grungy street peddler and a foul-mouthed German tourist, and claims he approached an Associated Press reporter outside his staked-out home on the Caribbean island of Ambergris Caye, and almost sold the reporter a wood carving. It’s hard to separate fact from fiction in the whole account, but one thing is clear — seldom has there been more detailed coverage of someone on the lam since O.J. Simpson led police on a low-speed chase in 1994, and much of that detail is being provided by McAfee himself. The Internet-savvy former tech-company founder has talked about his case with reporters via email, on cell phone calls from undisclosed locations, and now in his blog, “Who is McAfee? The official blog of John McAfee,” whose creation he announced Satur-

six inches shorter than my actual height and slowly walked up and down the beach with a pronounced limp, pushing an old single speed bicycle and peddling my wares to tourists and reporters using a broken English with a heavy Spanish accent. On my second day, while peddling small wooden carvings, I nearly sold a dolphin carving to an Associated Press reporter standing at the edge of my dock. He was pulled away from my enticement by an urgent phone call.” None of the four Associated Press reporters and cameramen who had reported from outside his home north of the town of San Pedro recalled having been approached by anyone matching that description. McAfee, 67, claims even police didn’t recognize him. “I watched the police search my residence 7 times,” he wrote. “At one point I got too close and was angrily ordered to go away. “ He claimed that other disguises included posing as a foul-mouthed German tourist spewing profanities. “On subsequent days using different disguises, I did the same general thing, one day selling tamales and burritos that I had purchased wholesale from a real vendor, on another pretending to be a drunk German tourist with a partially bandaged face and wearing speedo swimming trunks and a distasteful, oversized Hawaiian shirt.”
HP claims it’s victim of multi-billion dollar fraud
NEW YORK (AP) — Hewlett-Packard Co. said on Tuesday that it’s the victim of a multi-billion dollar fraud at the hands of a British company it bought last year that lied about its finances. HP CEO Meg Whitman said executives at Autonomy Corporation PLC “willfully” boosted the company’s figures through various accounting tricks, which convinced HP to pay $9.7 billion for the company in October 2011. Autonomy’s former CEO said HP’s allegations are false. HP is now taking an $8.8 billion charge to align Autonomy’s purchase price with what HP now says is its real value. More than $5 billion of that charge is due to false accounting, HP said. The revelation is another blow for HP, which is struggling to reinvent itself as PC and printer sales shrink. The company’s stock hit a 10-year low in morning trading. Among other things, Autonomy makes search engines that help companies find vital information stored across computer networks. Acquiring it was part of an attempt by HP to strengthen its portfolio of high-value products and services for corporations and government agencies. The deal was approved by Whitman’s predecessor, Leo Apotheker, but closed three
weeks into Whitman’s tenure as chief executive. Whitman was a member of HP’s board of directors when Apotheker initiated the Autonomy purchase. Among the tricks used at Autonomy, Whitman said: The company had been booking the sale of computers as software revenue and claiming the cost of making the machines as a marketing expense. Revenue from longterm contracts was booked up front, instead of over time. The allegations are serious, according to accounting experts. “According to GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), the overstatement of revenue under any tax code is illegal,” said Mark Williams, a finance professor at Boston University and a former bank examiner for the Federal Reserve. As a result of its alleged accounting practices, Autonomy appeared to be more profitable than it was and seemed to be growing its core software business faster than was actually the case. The moves were apparently designed to groom the company for an acquisition, Whitman said. Once HP bought the company, Autonomy’s reported revenue growth and profit margin quickly declined. Autonomy CEO Mike Lynch continued to run the company as part of HP, but Whitman forced him out on May 23 because it was not living up to expectations.

day in an interview with the AP. “Anyone who would like to read the blog and check out the references, will understand my reluctance to turn myself in,” he said, referring to his distrust of the Belizean government and particularly its Gang Suppression Unit, a quasi-military police squad. McAfee also described life on the run as “very fearful” and said it has “not been comfortable.” But in a blog post Monday, he described it in almost fanciful terms, describing how he donned a far-fetched disguise and watched as police searched his house and reporters gathered. “I darkened the skin of my face, neck and hands carefully with shoe polish and put on an LA Saints baseball cap with the brim facing backward and tufts of the front of my hair sticking out unkempt through the band,” according to the post. McAfee confirmed the authenticity of the blog in an email which he has been using to communicate with the AP. “I stuffed my cheeks with chewed bubble gum stuck to the outside of my upper and lower molars making my face appear much fatter. I darkened and browned my front teeth,” he wrote. “I wore an old, ragged long sleeve shirt. I donned an old Guatemalan style serape and toted a bag containing a variety of Guatemalan woven goods. “I adjusted my posture so that I appeared a good

NEW YORK (AP) — A former hedge fund portfolio manager was arrested Tuesday in what prosecutors are calling perhaps the most lucrative insider trading scheme of all time — an arrangement to obtain confidential, advance results of tests on an experimental Alzheimer’s drug that helped investment firms make more than $276 million. Mathew Martoma, 38, was charged in U.S. District Court in Manhattan with using the information to advise a hedge fund owner to buy shares in the companies developing the drug, then later to dump those investments and place financial bets against the companies when the tests returned disappointing results. Martoma’s trades helped reap a hefty profit from 2006 through July 2008, while he worked for CR Intrinsic Investors LLC of Stamford, Conn., an affiliate of SAC Capital Advisors, a firm owned by Steven A. Cohen, one of the nation’s wealthiest hedge fund managers. “The charges unsealed today describe cheating coming and going,” U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at a news conference. The scheme unfolded “on a scale that has no historical precedent.”
The government has been scrutinizing SAC since at least November 2010, when the FBI subpoenaed SAC and other influential hedge funds. Martoma is the fourth person associated with SAC Capital to be arrested on insider trading charges in the last four years. A request for comment from SAC was not immediately returned. The FBI said the scheme developed after Martoma met a doctor in Manhattan involved in an Alzheimer’s drug trial in October 2006. According to a criminal complaint, he later obtained confidential information related to the final results of a drug trial. Martoma’s attorney, Charles Stillman, called his client “an exceptional portfolio manager who succeeded through hard work and the dogged pursuit of information in the public domain. What happened today is only the beginning of a process that we are confident will lead to Mr. Martoma’s full exoneration.” Martoma was arrested at his home in Boca Raton, Fla., and made an initial appearance in federal court in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he was released on $5 million bail on charges of conspiracy to commit securities fraud and securities fraud. He was scheduled to return to court Monday in Manhattan.
