Rising county jail population raises concerns on number of levels By michAel Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Dan Ward, superintendent of the Belknap County Corrections Department, told the county commission last week that as the mercury falls the number of inmates rises and already the

jail is “well above capacity.”

Ward said that the inmate population of every correctional facility he has worked in increases with the onset of cold weather. “It’s traditional,” he said, “every jail sees a spike in the winter.

The county jail, Ward said,

has 36 individual cells, or secure units with one bed, which are always full. Another 93 beds, for a total of 129, are distributed among communal rooms housing groups of inmates.

“We have 113 inmates today,” Ward said, “and that is the lowest number in a week.” He

said that the population consistently ranges between 115 and 117. As the court metes out longer sentences, he said that a larger share of the available beds is occupied by inmates serving them.

July-like weather = record attendance at ‘fay-ah’

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANDWICH — Three consecutive days of sunny July weather in October would have been too good for organizers of the Sandwich Fair to even ask for, yet that’s exactly what they got this weekend. As a result, the fair, which traces its history

as far back as the 1880s and has been a three-day affair since 1988, saw what is believed to be a record level of attendance.

Jon Burrows, ground manager for the fair, said on Monday afternoon that more than 32,000 paying customers — a figure which doesn’t include children younger than eight — had bought tickets on Sat-

Same Paper…Same Price

urday and Sunday, setting a record for those two days.

In between crises that demand his attention, Burrows spends the fair standing at a main junction on the fairgrounds.

He estimated Monday’s traffic to be nearly as high as Saturday and Sunday. If that see FaIR page 11

Woman gives birth hours after running in Chicago Marathon

CHICAGO (AP) — Amber Miller felt contractions just minutes after crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon. A few hours later, the suburban Chicago woman — who slogged her way through 26.2 miles while nearly 39 weeks pregnant — delivered a healthy baby girl.

“For me, it wasn’t anything out of the ordinary. I was running up until that point anyway,” Miller told The Associated Press in an interview from the hospital where she was recovering Monday.

“I am crazy about running.”

Sunday’s marathon was the eighth for the 27-year-old, who has been running for more than a dozen years. She found out she was pregnant with her second child days after signing up for the Chicago race and decided to play it by ear on whether or not she would run.

When the baby hadn’t been born by Sunday, see BIRTH page 12

U.S. stocks soar on pledges to help European banks NEW YORK (AP) — Just last week, a bear market seemed inevitable. Since then stocks have surged four out of the past five days, bringing the S&P 500 index up 8.7 percent.

The latest jump came Monday after the leaders of France and Germany pledged to come up with a far-reaching solution to the region’s debt crisis by the end of the month.

The Dow Jones industrial average soared 330 points, its biggest one-day gain since Aug. 11. It has gained 7.3 percent

over the past five days. Bank of America Corp. jumped 6.4 percent, the most of the 30 stocks in the Dow. Sharp turnarounds in the market have become increasingly common. Starting in early August, the market entered a phase of extreme volatility as Europe’s debt crisis intensified and fears of another U.S. recession emerged. Last Tuesday, the S&P 500 traded 20 percent below its recent peak in April. Had it closed at or below that level, it would have met the definition of a bear market.

Instead, the S&P began a rally that continued through Monday. The gains were extraordinarily broad; only 5 stocks in the S&P 500 index fell, and ten stocks rose for every one that fell on the New York Stock Exchange.

As in many recent days, a good part of the increase came at the final minutes of trading. The Dow rose 100 points in the last half-hour.

Analysts said the sudden moves aren’t see STOCKS page 9

MARATHON, Fla. (AP) — Four hours into a family fishing trip, rough waves flipped a 22-foot boat off the Florida Keys, tossing eight people overboard. Seven of them, including a 4-year-old girl, survived by clinging to their capsized vessel and a small blue cooler for almost 20 hours, suffering exhaustion, jellyfish stings and hypothermia.

A 79-year-old woman, the matriarch of the group, was missing and presumed drowned.

“When the will to live kicks in, human beings can do amazing things,” Coast Guard Petty Officer Nick Ameen said. x Those rescued were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The family left Layton in the Middle Keys around 8 a.m. Saturday to fish in less-than-ideal conditions. It was raining, seas topped 7 feet and winds were whipping up to 38 mph. After they anchored 3½ miles off the island chain, two waves hit suddenly, capsizing the vessel.

The women grabbed the girl and the 2½-foot cooler. One of the men tried to rescue his mother, but she slipped through his grasp and disappeared into the water.

Almost immediately, the two groups — the three women and girl and three men — drifted apart.

Nearly a day later, they were rescued when a commercial fisherman spotted the men Sunday morning and alerted the Coast Guard, which found the women and see RESCUE page 13

PRINCETON, N.J. (AP) — Christopher Sims and Thomas Sargent have no simple solutions to the global economic crisis. But the work that won them the Nobel Prize in economics Monday is guiding central bankers and policymakers in their search

Pat Buchanan

Unable to raise taxes a dime, GOP will slash defense WASHINGTON, D.C. — Observing the correlation of forces in this city and the intensity of conviction in the base of each party, the outcome of the ongoing fiscal fight between Barack Obama and the Tea Party Republicans seems preordained.

Deadlock. There will be no big jobs-for-taxes deal. The can will be kicked down the road into the next administration.

A second truth is emerging. When the cutting comes, as it shall, the Pentagon will be first to ascend the scaffold.

Why so? Consider.

The Republican House cannot agree to tax increases without risking retribution from the base and repudiation by its presidential candidates. All have pledged to oppose even a dollar in tax hikes for 10 dollars in spending cuts.

For his part, Obama has refused to lay out any significant cuts in the big Democratic entitlement programs of Social Security and Medicare.

As for the hundreds of billions in Great Society spending for Medicaid, food stamps, Head Start, earned income tax credits, aid to education, Pell grants and housing subsidies, neither Harry Reid’s Senate nor Obama, in trouble with his African-American base, will permit significant cuts. That leaves two large items of a budget approaching $4-trillion: interest on the debt, which must be paid, and national defense.

Pentagon chief Leon Panetta can see the writing on the wall. Defense is already scheduled for $350-billion in cuts over the decade. If the super-committee fails to come up with $1.2-trillion in specified new cuts, an automatic slicer chops another $600-billion from defense.

House Armed Services Committee Chair Buck McKeon has issued an analysis of what that would mean: a U.S. Army and Marine Corps reduction of 150,000 troops, retirement of two carrier battle groups, loss of one-third of Air Force fighter planes and a “hollow force” unable to meet America’s commitments.

Also on the chopping block would be the Navy and Marine Corps versions of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.

If the super-committee trigger has to be pulled, says Panetta, “we’d be shooting ourselves in the head.”

That half defense-half domestic formula for automatic budget cuts was programmed into the slicer to force Republicans to put tax hikes on the table. They will refuse. For tax hikes would do more damage to the party than the slicing would the Pentagon.

Thus America approaches her moment of truth. Thanks to the irresponsibility of both parties, of the Bush as well as Obama administrations, we are facing unavoidable and painful choices.

We are going to have to reduce the benefits and raise the age of eligibil-

ity for Social Security and Medicare.

Cut and cap Great Society programs.

Downsize the military, close bases and transfer to allies responsibility for their own defense. Or we are going to have to raise taxes — and not just on millionaires and billionaires, but Middle America.

And if our leaders cannot impose these sacrifices, the markets will, as we see in Europe, where the day of reckoning is at hand. Ours is next.

But if defense cuts are unavoidable, where should they come? What should our future defense posture be? Which principles should apply?

Clearly, the first principle should be that the United States must retain a sufficiency, indeed, a surplus of power to defend all of its vital interests and vital allies, though the defense of those allies must be first and foremost their own responsibility. They have to replace U.S. troops as first responders.

During the Cold War, America was committed to go to war on behalf of a dozen NATO nations from Norway to Turkey. Eastern Europe under Moscow’s boot was not considered vital. Thus we resisted the Berlin Blockade, but peacefully. We did nothing to rescue the Hungarian revolution in 1956, or the Prague Spring in 1968, or the Polish Solidarity movement in 1981, when all three were crushed.

Now that the Red Army has gone home, Eastern Europe is free, and the Soviet Union no longer exists, what is the argument for maintaining U.S. Air Force, Army and naval bases and thousands of U.S. troops in Europe? Close the bases, and bring the troops home.

The same with South Korea and Japan. Now that Mao is dead and gone and China is capitalist, Seoul and Tokyo trade more with Beijing than they do with us.

South Korea has 40 times the economy and twice the population of North Korea. Japan’s economy is almost as large as China’s. Why cannot these two powerful and prosperous nations provide the troops, planes, ships and missiles to defend themselves? We can sell them whatever they need. Why is their defense still our responsibility?

In the Persian Gulf we have a strategic interest: oil. But the oilrich nations of the region have an even greater interest in selling their oil than we do in buying it. For, without oil sales, the Gulf has little the world needs or wants.

Let the world look out for itself for a while. Time to start looking out for America and Americans first. For if we don’t, who will?

LETTERS I used to get flu shots without ever questioning doctor’s advice To the editor, The cold and flu season is upon us.

Doctors, nurses, big government, Big Pharma and the mainstream media condescendingly decide for us that we should get that flu shot without creating any fuss. Dr. William Campbell Douglass II wonders why the following three questions that could save our lives, are not asked of those doctors who we have put our faith and trust in: (1) What are my options; (2) What are the possible benefits and risks of those options; (3) How likely are the benefits and risks of each option to occur? If you’re too intimidated by your primary care physicians to question their recommendations, then perhaps it is time to look elsewhere. I am not sure why citizens who balk at the government forcing them to wear seat belts, readily allow said government to inject dangerous chemicals into their body without asking any of the above questions.

Public health authorities and medical experts continue to assure us that vaccinations are our best defense against infections despite mounting evidence to the contrary. According to Dr. Russell Blaylock, a board certified neurosurgeon, giving children 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 daily is a great way to ward off ear infections and strengthen one’s immune system against colds and flu viruses. Fact: Children in the United States receive more vaccinations than in any other country in the world. Fact: An increasing number of scientists are becoming increasingly concerned that this policy is having a devastating effect on children’s immune systems. Fact: In the year 2002, the total number of flu and pneumonia deaths reported were 65,984. Out of those deaths, only 753 were from the flu or 1.1-percent of the total. Fact: There is no proof that flu shots protect against the flu. Fact: The flu shot is most often useless for adults and offers little if any protection for the elderly. Fact: non one knows how dangerous the flu shot is because it has never been properly studied for long term side effects. Side effects that are grossly under reported.

Few people know that pharma-

ceutical companies have been given immunity from prosecution for many of the devastating side effects of the flu vaccine including Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a debilitating and life threatening disease that attacks the peripheral nervous system that can cause paralysis and even death.

This liability protection is primarily because vaccinations are considered “experimental” and because their use is for “public emergencies”. Few people even know about the fact that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tracks the incidences of children who were damaged by flu shots which are grossly under represented since the FDA reports that doctors only report about one in ten vaccine injuries.

I used to get flu shots without questioning my doctor. My chiropractor and therapeutic massage person advised me to educate myself about the pros and cons regarding flu shots.

I did and have decided for myself that the risks outweigh any very questionable benefits. I strongly urge all of you to do the same. Please check out the National Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and get armed with the information to have an intelligent discussion with your doctor. The other option is to get injected with substances including: chicken embryos, sodium deoxycholate, mercury (thimerosal), formaldehyde, beta propiolactone, MSG and polyethylene glycol-p-isooctylphenyl ether. Then say a prayer that it actually offers you some protection while avoiding the many potential side effects. I take a whole food vitamin/mineral supplement, fish oil (krill oil is one of the best with no after taste), a probiotic, extra Vitamin C and of course 2,000 IU of Vitamin D3 (not D2) and skip the shot. Chiropractic adjustments and therapeutic massage by a trained body worker can also do wonders for your immune system. Remember, “forewarned is forearmed”. I wish you all a safe and healthy winter season.

in the several slices of Swiss cheese line up with each other.

As it is with boating accidents, so it could be with personal relationships, could it not ? Boats have charts that show where the rocks are, could not the professionals in the personal relationship business not also produce charts that might do a better job of showing where the rocks are than the charts we now have for guiding us through the several decisions involved in developing a personal relationship ?

If more of society were looking at the same set of charts, maybe there might be fewer personal relationships that unnecessarily end up “on the rocks”, might there not?

Could not those who are in the business of advising people about lifestyles, could they not treat broken relationships as being produced by a series of faulty decisions and identify the half dozen or so weaknesses that one needs to avoid in order to reduce the possibility of making the decisions that unnecessarily result in a broken relationship ?

Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia

SepT. 15 - OcT. 25 HelP fINd a cure.

To the editor, For the last 50 years, or more our nation has seen an major epidemic of broken relationships, with no-one yet having “put a finger” on what might be the causes of this epidemic. For example, news articles tell us that about 50-percent of marriages end in divorces. The question is why are half of the adults in our nation making such poor choices for a marriage partner, and why do half of the marriages in our nation end upon the “rocks” ?

Dr. Joshua Tofield, MD, wrote an article about accidents at sea, on pages 43 and 44 of the Nov/Dec 2011 issue of the magazine “Ocean Navigator”.

Dr Tofield wrote that negative events, such as when a boat ends up on the rocks, rarely stem from a single decision. He mentioned the “Swiss Cheese Theory” where reaching a decision can be compared to going through the holes in a number of slices of Swiss cheese set on end. The holes in the Swiss cheese represent the various weaknesses in the particular decision making system. However a negative result only occurs when all of the weaknesses align, or when all the

swept the elections in 2010. Our numbers continue to grow as more and more Americans become aware of how our elected officials have led us into a $14-trillion dollars of debt.

If the fact that the Koch brothers donated money to “The Americans for Prosperity,” helped in any way to alert our American citizens to the economic disaster we are facing, we owe them a world of thanks. The American people have become too complacent over the years. We have been going about our own lives, thinking that our government would take care of us. Well, now we know we have to pay more attention. We have to be the watchdogs over the politicians we elect and make sure they do the job we elected them to do. This is what the “Tea Party” is all about.

The Koch brothers are great philanthropists who donate billions to a variety of great organizations and causes, some liberal, some conservative. If they want to donate to our cause to fight for government responsibility, we the people will accept a check anytime.

Just as billionaire George Soros, donated over a million dollars to the progressive lefts’ organization, “Move on Org”, he has also donated too many worthy organizations and causes.

One can’t help but wonder if he donated to the making of this film.

It cannot however, be denied that his past has been tainted with many shady charges such as, being known as “the man who broke the bank of England”, and in 2002, a French court found him guilty of inside trading and fined him $2.3-million.

Maybe this film maker from Australia would consider producing a film about the “network of shadow groups” funded by billionaire George Soros.

There are many to choose from.

PINKcArd

To the editor, On Thursday, October 6, the Northern Grafton County Democrats ran a film at the Colonial Theater, in Bethlehem, titled “The Billionaires Tea Party.” It was produced by an Australian filmmaker, who is obviously trying to undermine the Tea Party by claiming that “the Tea Party is one of the greatest feats of propaganda ever seen and that behind this movement lays a highly coordinated network of shadow groups, funded by the likes of billionaire ideologues Charles and David Koch.”

A group of our local Tea Party members, including myself, attended the showing. Talk about propaganda! This Australian film has it all wrong.

Some say the Tea Party was started in 2007 by Ron Paul supporters, who on the 234th anniversary of the original “Boston Tea Party” protested in cities across the country. It proceeded to grow from there and in September 2009, hundreds of thousands of American citizens joined in one of the largest and most peaceful demonstrations that our capital has ever seen. American citizens of all ages, all nationalities, and all walks of life, from all 50 states, scraped together enough money to make the trip to Washing ton to protest against the careless government policies that were leading our country into financial disaster. I know because my husband and I were there, on four different occasions. This march was supported by various organizations who realized they needed to make the average American citizens aware of just how far out of control our government had become.

We demanded less spending, less taxes and smaller government. We let our politicians know that we elected them to serve “we the people,” not their own personal agenda to get re-elected.We know our voices were heard and are still being heard! We

To the editor, On Saturday, August 27, in honor and memory of Roger Ballantyne, we held Roger’s 3rdannual “Roger’s Ride For A Cure”. The ride was done in the spirit of Roger’s commitment to family, friends and the community.

Hurricane Irene did play havoc in our plans, therefore we scrambled to change our days from Sunday to Saturday for the ride and thankfully the ride on Saturday went beautifully. We gathered for coffee and pastries, the ride beginning at 10 a.m. sharp to the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery where on our short break we visited their Meditation Park where all the military branches are represented including the Marine Corp memorial where Roger’s memorial is located. It is a must see for those who have not visited our Veterans Cemetery. Our Ride ended with a pig roast.

We sold T-shirts, 50/50 raffle tickets and we had many visitors who came to join in our festivities and to donate towards the ride. Our 50/50 raffle winner Doug Bartlett of Laconia donated most of his winnings towards the ride!

On behalf of the Ballantyne/Roy Family we have many friends, family and businesses to thank for their contribution for a successful ride. Our long time neighbors and friends, Tom & Linda Peary, Darcy Peary, Chris & Steve Fay and Carolyn Muller, George & Donna Davison, Bob & Denise Joyal, Carol & Tobias Anderson-Paddock and Abraham and Lynn Dadian, Carrie Chandler and coworkers Frederick Brierly and Matt Rockwell.

I am grateful to Dick Breton and Bob Hamel for their leadership in securing a wonderful job for the safety of all the riders. Thank you for all our riders for their contributions along with Laconia Kiwanians and the many people whom personally donated their time, money and commitment to our ride.

Toyota Ford Lincoln Scion & Hyundai for the use of the facilities, Kevin Halligan of Laconia Village Bakery for coffee, pastries and a pig roast, Roger’s former employer Citizens Bank for their contributions towards the T-shirts, Sarah Gray of Body Covers Body Screen for their design and contribution of the T-shirts, Don and Jeff Flanders of Byse Agency Incorporated for their cycle kick stand plates, Moe Martineau, owner of Trustworthy Hardware, for the use of their electronic board to notify people of the change in date due to the Hurricane.

I am and continue to be in awe and thankful of the remarkable people in my life and in our wonderful community for their unconditional support.

Thankfully we did collect $3,719 in spite of Hurricane Irene. The grand total over the last three years earned was $12,045. The monies will be shared with LRGHealthcare to whom Roger contributed many years of service as a member of the Board of Trustees and the Kidney Cancer Association, a very helpful resource for Roger as he battled kidney cancer and for me as a caregiver.

I have been torn in my decision for our ride in 2011 to be the final ride. It is not for the fact the memory of Roger is lesseningn or for the good of the community is less important. I believe it is the right choice. We are healing and continue to find joy for we have much to be grateful for in our lives. It will be important for me to know our children in some way will continue our lessons in life to “pay it forward”.

Roger quoted to me many a time “Elizabeth, life is not a dress rehearsal” as is noted on the T-shirts. We will continue on his legacy by our example in our day to day lives.

For those of you wanting to know more of the ride and the benefactors, visit them on line: www.rogersrideforacure.com and visit us on Facebook. www.lrgh.org www.kca.com On behalf of the Ballantyne/Roy Family thank you all so very much!

New housing construction is essentially over for next 5 years To the editor, Future prospects for the housing market are not promising. There were around 3.6-million houses were on the market in July. That number of houses is the equivalent to 9.4-months of demand. Such as it may be, that is an improvement. It is down from a peak of 12.5-months a year ago. It is still much higher than what would be expected in a normal housing market.

There are more than 4-million seriously delinquent mortgage loans (90+ days delinquent or in foreclosure), which is about 3-million more than in a normal market. Most of those homes will be coming onto the market. Residential new construction has been moribund because of the high level of excess supply.

A rebound in property prices looks unlikely. The bulk of the price correction is now over. The housing market

will stabilize in the second half of 2011 or maybe the first half of 2012. This still means that balance-sheet repair will have to come from a prolonged period of spending restraint. That means new construction is essentially over for the next five years.

Having the federal government controlling the housing market by control of lending has created an opportunity to improve. Pumping up lending for housing has led to artificial stimulation of the economy. It led to lowering underwriters’ requirements of the qualifications necessary for home ownership. It has led to increased defaults. Many families have been subjected to unnecessary pain for political gain.

Vote early, vote often.

LETTERS New basketball league will tip off on Dec. 4 - teams wanted To the editor, Hello all. A few weeks back The Sun ran an article about the Lakes Region Basketball League. I just wanted to follow up with more details and info regarding this league.

Games will be played at the Gilford Youth Center on Sunday-Friday (not Tuesday) starting anywhere from 7 to 8:30. We are accepting between six and 10 teams. The league fee of $1,050 per team covers a league issued reversible jersey with number, trophy for champion, 18 games, new equipment, but most important, 2 NHIAA certified officials refereeing each and every game. The same organization that refs every high school state playoff and championship will be officiating the games in our league.

A full schedule is already set, statistics will be recorded for all 18 games and the double elimination playoffs held at seasons end. This is a highly organized, exceptional league, unlike

any other in our great states adult sports history. We are fortunate and lucky the GYC has agreed to host and run this league.

There has been very few teams calling interested or signing up since our story ran, and as a non-profit, it is difficult to advertise outside of local news coverage. The final day to submit your team/roster is November 11. League dues are not required until Dec 3, with our first game tipping off on Dec 4.

If you, a friend, relative, or sports crazed acquaintance is interested in participating and would like to sign up or just get more info, a brochure and sign-up form can be found and printed at www.gilfordyouthcenter. com. you can also contact the GYC Director of Activities, Scott Hodson at 603-393-2581.

Again, sign-up deadline is Nov. 11.

Hope to see you on the court.

If that constitutes treason, every U.S. president has been guilty To the editor, An open letter to Rep. Harry Accornero: Sir, your letters calling for our president to be charged with treason are again an insult to the intelligence of American voters. Your charges would refer to any of our presidents of the past and probably future unless our elected officials, like you, start doing something positive instead of pointing fingers.

The border issues have been a problem since that area belonged to Mexico, the Treasury also prints money to replace old and damaged money — is that okay? Foreign oil also is a prob-

lem so do you stand behind the “green and solar” movements? Since you are in a position to do something positive for our state and country, instead of the finger pointing why don’t you start now? You have only been in office for a little while and seem to becoming a mouth piece for the tea party or obstruction movement. Your charges of treason are very serious but with your explanations for these charges you would have to charge all our past office holders. How’s a charge of “incite to riot” sound to you?

SANDWICH — Members of the Torsey family have been showing milking shorthorns from Breezy Ridge Farm in New Hampton at the Sandwich Fair ever since 1966. And that tradition continued this year despite the death in early September of family patriarch Ken Torsey, who was 80, and to whom this year’s Sandwich Fair program was dedicated.

Torsey’s daughter Sherry Boynton, says that her son, David, who returned to New Hampshire after serving a tour of duty in Iraq in August, and her nephew, Stephen Uhlman, 20, a junior at the University of New Hampshire, decided to help their 78-yearold grandmother, Patricia, show her cattle at both the Deerfield and Sandwich fairs this fall in order to keep the family tradition alive.

“I was only nine when I showed cattle here for the first time,’’ said Boynton, who said that she hopes that her granddaughter, 13-month-old Madison, will some day be showing cattle from the Torsey farm at the fair.

She said that her son David was nine when he started showing cattle at the fair but the family farm hasn’t had a entry in 4-H competition since her nephew Stephen’s last year of eligibility for the 4-H show, although he has continued to show cattle in the open show.

Boynton said her father had driven all five members of the family to northern Maine in his pickup truck to find a milking shorthorn 45 years ago because there were none in New Hampshire at that time. “He put the calf in a burlap

bag on the floor of the pickup truck for the ride back home,” she recalls.

That was the start of a family tradition which continued through the years, not only at Sandwich but also at the Belknap County and Plymouth fairs.

She said that her son and nephew also continued the tradition of putting on a hand milking demonstration at the fair, drawing a large crowd of onlookers.

At that first show that Boynton took part in there were no barns for the cattle, just a post with hitches along with heavy duty barbed wire and a small booth for the judges. Thirsty cattle had to be led to a stream running through the fairgrounds to get a drink of water.

Today water is available on every corner and a large number of barns have been raised to shelter not only cattle, but sheep, goats, pigs, draft horses and other animals. And the fair, once a one-day affair, has grown to three days.

And it is poised, thanks to the warm weekend weather with temperatures in the mid-80s, to possibly set a new attendance record.

“We had a record crowd for a Saturday with 15,650 people. And Sunday was even better with 16,500 people, just a few hundred fewer than our best Sunday ever,” said Dan Peaslee, Sandwich Fair president.

By noon the Squam Lakes Road parking lot was full, indicating that at least 8,000 people would show up for the day, pushing the total to well over 40,000 for the weekend.

Fair officials said Monday afternoon that they wouldn’t have a final tally until sometime Tuesday morning.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 11, 2011— Page 9

TAX BILL from page one erties has three current land use bills outstanding as of July 18, 2011.

When land is in “current use”, meaning the land is developable but maintained in its present conservation/agricultural state, it can be assessed for tax purposes at a fraction — say 10-percent — of its potential “highest and best use” value. By the provisions of New Hampshire state law, when land comes out of current use for some kind of development, a land use change tax is assessed and payable within 30 days to the municipality. The tax is 10-percent of its new value.

In the case of the Villas at Paugus Woods, city assessors said the last of the land in current use came into productive use as of May of this year but the bill has yet to be paid.

Brady Sullivan, the developers of the approved 93 modular home site lot, has recently come under fire by the Office of the Attorney General for allegedly not repairing structural defects in some of the homes that have been built and are now occupied. To date, 42 homes have been completed.

Laconia city officials said they have been meeting with officials of Brady Sullivan and representatives of the Office of the Attorney General, and the N.H. State Fire Marshal to try and correct the deficiencies. In addition, the city, at Brady Sullivan’s

expense, has hired an independent building inspector, the J.H. Turner Group, to work with the developer to correct the alleged defects.

Brady Sullivan owns the 47-acre parcel on White Oaks Road, homeowners do not. The property value, according to the city’s on-line tax assessor, is $1.412-million and city assessors office said last week the July 2011 property tax bill is paid.

In addition, each homeowner is assessed a $25,000 amenity value or “land lease site value” that covers the assessed value of the permanent foundation upon which each home is built. According to the land use office, this number was determined when the buildings were sold and used to make up the difference between the actual value of the building on the lot and the sales price.

As an example, one of the homes on Sarasota Lane is assessed for $156,800 and was purchased on Sept.

28, 2010 for $150,800. The building or home has an assessed value of $131,800, the value of the land lease is $25,000.

In addition, Brady Sullivan pays on an additional assessment of $1.412-million, which is the assessed value of all 93 building sites.

As for the request for an injunction against more sales and an order to repair all the existing alleged defects, the Belknap County Superior Court has set a date of Nov. 3 to hear testimony.

STOCKS from page 2 likely to dissipate any time soon.

“It’s probably going to continue to be a volatile period as people try to work things out and get some sense of where we’re heading in the future,” said Brian Lazorishak, a portfolio manager at Charlottesville, Va.based firm Chase Investment Council. “That volatility gets exacerbated by people trying to jump on positive news and negative news before anyone else.”

“The more we can put our arms around the problem with a little more detail, the better, and time frames usually help,” said Michael Sansoterra, a portfolio manager at Silvant Capital Management in Atlanta.

The Dow rose 330.06 points, or 3 percent, to close at 11,433.18. That’s the highest the index has been since Sept. 16.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 39.43 or 3.4 percent, to 1,194.89.

The Nasdaq composite index rose 86.70, or 3.4 percent, to 2,566.05.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy said Sunday they would finalize a comprehensive response to the debt crisis by the end of the month, including a plan to make sure European banks have adequate capital. Investors have been worried that European leaders weren’t moving quickly enough to contain the fallout from a default by Greece’s government.

European markets rose and the euro strengthened against the dollar. Investors were also relieved that troubled Franco-Belgian bank Dexia would be partially nationalized.

ASHLAND — John DeGennaro became fascinated by archaeology when he was a boy and looked through his mother’s college textbooks. Now a student at the University of New Hampshire, he’s had the chance to get his hands dirty by helping to excavate and identify shards of old ceramics, metal and glass in a field in Belize. The materials, he later learned, had belonged to an American who, fearing prosecution for his involvement in the Civil War, had fled to the Central American country more than a century ago.

“When it came time to go to college, I went back to that desire to be an archaeologist,” said DeGennaro, a member of Plymouth High School’s Class of 2010.

After a year of studying anthropology out of textbooks and lecture halls, DeGennaro jumped at the chance to, through the university’s Research Experience and Apprenticeship Program, participate in research pursued as part of the Belize River East Archaeology project, led by UNH Assistant Professor Eleanor Harrison-Buck.

DeGennaro spent six weeks in Belize this summer and earned eight credits, the equivalent of two classes.

Perhaps more important, he experienced first-hand what it’s like to do something he had previously only imagined. And he can’t wait to do it again.

Working with senior researcher Adam Kaeding, DeGennaro helped excavate a site where a farmer’s plow had turned up fragments of materials from a previous era. The remnants were initially thought to have been left behind from the colonial period. However, through their research, they found that the items had been left behind by someone more recent: Colin J. McRae. McRae had been an Alabaman who served as a fiscal agent for the Confederate Army during the U.S. Civil War, soliciting financial assistance from governments in Europe while the war proceeded.

When the war ended, McRae feared he would be prosecuted for his wartime actions, so he moved to British Honduras, now Belize, where he lived, operating a plantation and mercantile business, until his death in 1877.

DeGennaro knows that now, but when he first arrived in Belize all he and the researchers he was working with knew was that there was a field with

fragments of ceramics, metal, glass and clay pipe.

“It was really great, a really awesome experience to learn how archaeology was done,” he said, noting that although he had spent a year studying the science, “It was quite a different thing to actually do it...

It’s physically intense. The hot sun all day, it’s a lot of work.” He learned there’s a lot of sweat involved in archaeology, a study that requires its practitioners to be handy with a pick and shovel. “You also have to be really careful,” he added, and when items are discovered they have to be treated with the greatest sensitivity to their age and the secrets they can tell.

Because the items were discovered in an agricultural field which had been plowed many times, the artifacts were distributed sporadically throughout the soil. He and others dug buckets full of soil and then sifted them through a screen to find anything worth examining. Once they determined the type and age of the items – they suspect the site was a type of store – DeGennaro assisted with archival research, learning from land maps that the property they were excavating had been owned by McRae. The experience was intriguing for DeGennaro. “It’s like hunting, it was really interesting to look throuhg the archives, to know really nothing about the site at all... It kind of felt like a mystery, it felt really great, it was fun, like being a kid again.” DeGennaro see next page

from preceding page and the researchers he was working with were pursuing something known as historical archaeology, in which excavation is paired with archival research to paint a picture of the past.

“That’s something I really like about this type of archaeology,” he said.

Since returning from the trip, DeGennaro has continued to research McRae in preparation for a written

report. He feels he has learned a lot about the Confederate agent as well as himself.

“This experience was absolutely amazing – not only did it open my mind more to the possibility of being an actual archaeologist, I had the time of my life. It was so much fun,” he said. “I found out how much I enjoy this type of research.”

JAIL from page one tences represent more than half the beds at the jail. “The number being incarcerated simply outnumber those being released,” he said.

Including inmates housed in other county jails and on work release, where they reside at home and are monitored by electronic bracelets, Ward’s department supervises a total of 139 inmates.

Ward explained that the greatest challenge posed by the space limitations is separating prisoners. “We must separate minimum and maximum security inmates as well as codefendants charged in the same crime and victims from perpetrators,” he said. With relatively few single cells and most inmates housed communally, the capacity to segregate prisoners is limited.

Ward said that the gymnasium is serving as a housing unit with a dozen inmates, a number he expects to double soon. Although the lack of indoor recreation space does not pose a significant problem in the warmer months, he said it does become a concern when the weather cools and inmates spend less time outdoors.

The rising numbers also strain the department budget. “We budgeted for an average daily population of 90,” Ward said. He calculated that with the prices of meals, which run $6.30 per inmate per day, an average of daily population of 110 costs another $126 a day, which amounts to almost $46,000 a year in food alone.

Finally, Ward said that as the inmate numbers grow, there are not sufficient hours in the day to handle visitations.

FAIR from page one estimate proves correct once all the tickets are counted, total attendance will set a record. More than any other factor, Burrows said the sunny and unseasonably warm weather is the reason why.

“I can remember having a warm day, but not three summer days like this,” he said, recalling years when it has snowed on fairgoers and years when rain was so heavy they had to close early.

Jack Keough, who runs Dan’s Fried Dough, has been selling his crispy confection at the Sandwich Fair since 1969, and he agreed that the 2011 fair will be one to remember. “This year it’s been pretty good,” he said.

Fair food is the Burlington, Vermontbased Keough family business. Jack’s son and grandson were each running their own vendor carts at the fair, contributing pizza and deep-fried Oreos to the myriad other indulgent offerings. Keough, though, sticks to the fried dough, which he said has remained the same since he started. Available toppings have become more gourmet, though, such as a maple-apple-chocolate topping he’s recently added.

Taylor Guibord, a five-year old from Bedford, instinctively reached for the classic topping, powdered sugar, after receiving from Keough her very first fried dough. Guibord carefully held the paper plate, which could barely hold the bubbling, golden disc of still-hot-fromthe-fyer dough, as she shook the container of powdered sugar over her treat.

Guibord was brought to the fair by her mother, Becky, who said she has been coming to the fair nearly every year since she was a child. She watched her daughter’s first taste of fried dough. Taylor reported, “It kind of tastes like sugar.”

“We’ve got a customer now for the next 20 years,” a smiling Keough observed. He goes to fairs throughout the summer and said he recognizes familiar faces that return, year after year for his fried dough.

Keough said the Sandwich Fair continues to draw attendants for various reasons. Some come for the hyper stimulation of the midway, others for the working steer competitions or tractor pulls. He speculated that some might come just for the fried dough.

His vantage point provides a view of the exhibit barns. “There’s always a line to get into the rabbits.”

Weather aside, setting a new mark for attendance tells organizers they’ve been doing something right in their efforts to preserve the family-friendly, fun experience of the fair, adding events such as a ladies’ skillet toss and a lumberjack competition while continuing to celebrate agriculture, especially local 4-H clubs. The record also means something else for the nonprofit organization that runs the fair, said Burrows: “Revenue.” Because so many tickets were sold, the Sandwich Fair Association will be better able to fund annual maintenance of the fair grounds and buildings and may even consider new construction, he said.

from preceding page Still, Sims said, “I think the methods that I have used and Tom has developed are central to finding our way out of this mess. ... I think they point a way to try to unravel why our serious problems develop, and new research using these methods may help us lead us out of it.”

Sargent and Sims have been friends since the 1960s, when both were Harvard graduate students. They later taught at the same time at the University of Minnesota. This semester, they are teaching a graduatelevel macroeconomics course together at Princeton.

Their awards extend Americans’ dominance in the Nobel economics category. Thirteen of the 15 most recent winners of the prize in economics have been Americans.

Robert Lucas, a University of Chicago economist who won the Nobel in 1995, said the work of Sargent and Sims is timely now that policymakers are debating whether to do something to stimulate the U.S. economy.

“We want to know what happens if we do it, what happens if we don’t, what are the long-term consequences,” he said. Sargent and Sims “got their hands dirty, using data, trying to forecast, trying to see what works, what doesn’t.”

In its citation, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Sargent showed how statistical models could help analyze how households and companies adjust their expectations as conditions and policies shift.

Using such models, for example, Sargent argued in 1981 that public expectations were crucial to combating high inflation. At the time, many economists assumed it would take many months, even years, of high interest rates to reduce inflation.

But Sargent argued that inflation could be tamed

much faster if central banks acted decisively to dispel public expectations that prices would continue to rise rapidly.

That’s basically what happened shortly afterward: Paul Volcker, then the Federal Reserve chairman, shattered inflation expectations by raising rates sharply and quickly. Expectations of inflation, it turned out, were even more important than inflation itself in shaping economic behavior.

Economists are at a disadvantage compared with researchers in many other fields. They can’t experiment on economies the way scientists experiment with laboratory rats or chemicals.

“We’ve got to glean it from the information that’s out there,” said Art Rolnick, former director of research at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

Before Sims and Sargent, many economists had underestimated the complexity with which businesses and people respond to economic events and government actions. The two showed how hard it is to predict public responses to policy changes.

“People form their own ideas about what’s going to happen independently of what the economists say is going to happen,” said David Warsh, an author who writes the blog Economic Principles.

Sims reached the surprising conclusion that interest-rate changes engineered by the Fed and other central banks typically have less effect on the economy than previously thought. On the other hand, policies that involve taxes and spending tend to play a bigger role than many economists had assumed.

“They’ve really been giants in the field,” Rolnick said. “The fundamental insights they had over the years radically affected the way we thought about policy at the Fed.”

BIRTH from page 2 she got clearance from her doctor to run half. She completed it with a with a half-run half-walk approach, drinking lots of fluids and eating a lot along the way. She finished in 6:25:50, much slower than her usual marathon time, but still content.

“Lots of people were cheering me on: ‘Go pregnant lady!’” she said. “I was expecting some negative comments. I don’t remember anything.”

It was not Miller’s first marathon while pregnant.

In May, the Westchester woman ran the Wisconsin Marathon in 4:23:07 while 17 weeks pregnant with her daughter. In 2009, she ran the Indianapolis Marathon in 4:30:27 while she was 18 weeks pregnant with her son Caleb, who’s 1.

Elite runners have trained while pregnant, but doctors say Miller is a rarity. She was 38 weeks and five days pregnant. Full-term is typically defined as 40 weeks.

Marathon world-record holder Paula Radcliffe ran 14 miles a day while pregnant and resumed training weeks after the birth of her first child. She won the New York City Marathon in 2007 just 10 months after delivery. American marathoner Kara Goucher, who gave birth to her son last year, also trained while pregnant, running 80 miles a week at times.

“It’s probably the rare woman who is in good enough shape to run a marathon while pregnant.

It’s probably the exception more than the rule,” said Dr. Priya Rajan, an assistant professor in obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago.

Medical guidelines generally say that if a woman was a runner and healthy before she got pregnant, running during pregnancy is fine. Doctors even recommend exercise for low-risk pregnancies. However, medical experts agree that pregnancy is not the time to begin any exercise endeavors, such as starting marathon training for the first time. For pregnant runners, close monitoring by a doctor is recommended.

Miller who was looking forward to getting rest, said she the only effects she felt from the marathon, which she finished around 3:30 p.m., were blisters on her feet. She was just happy to see her daughter June, who was born at 10:29 p.m. at 7 pounds, 13 ounces with no complications.

If she had to do the whole day over?

“Definitely again,” she said. “It’ll be a story to remember.”

RESCUE from page 2 the blue cooler several miles away in the warm waters.

The women said the boat turned over so quickly that there wasn’t time to grab life jackets for anyone except the child, said Kendra Graves, a seaman with the Coast Guard.

Florida law requires children 6 or under on a boat 26 feet or less to wear a life jacket if the boat is moving. If the craft is anchored or docked, they don’t have to wear a life vest.

As the weather improved Sunday, fishing boat captain David Jensen headed out with customers to catch live bait. Off in the distance, he saw a large object floating in the water.

As he turned the boat to get closer look, he saw a man waving. At first, he said, he thought there was only one person holding on to the sunken boat, its bow protruding just a few feet out of the water. When he got closer, he realized there were three men.

“I tried to get them to swim to the boat, but they said they didn’t know how to swim,” Jensen said.

“Then I had the mate throw them life jackets. One guy put on the life jacket and swam to the boat. The

other two guys wouldn’t get off the boat. ... They said they didn’t know how to swim.”

One of Jensen’s customers jumped in and swam over. He tied the boats together, and helped the other two men, one at a time, back to Jensen’s boat.

“They were exhausted. One guy overnight had lost his mother,” Jensen said. “He was very visibly upset, which was a little tough because he was the one who spoke the best English.”

Zaida San Jurjo Gonzalez died. Her son, Jorge Alejo Gonzalez, survived along with his wife, Tomasa Torres, the elderly woman’s daughter, Elena G. Gonzalez, and her boyfriend, Juglar Riveras.

Also rescued were Jorge and Elena Gonzalez’s uncle, Jose Miguel De Armas, his wife, Yunisleidy Lima Tejada, and their 4-year-old daughter, Fabiana De Armas Lima. All are from South Florida. The other survivors’ ages ranged from 30 to 62.

After the men were found shortly before 9 a.m., the fishermen called the Coast Guard, who found the women. They men were hanging on to the floating cooler and started waving and yelling for help when they saw the Coast Guard boat.

Rangers up 2-0 after walk-off grand slam by Cruz ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Nelson Cruz hit the first game-ending grand slam in postseason history, lifting the Texas Rangers over the Detroit Tigers 7-3 in 11 innings Monday for a 2-0 lead in the AL championship series.

Cruz doubled early, then hit a tying home run in the seventh inning. His second homer of the game was a high drive to left field off Ryan Perry with nobody out in the 11th, and came after a misplay in the Detroit outfield loaded the bases.

“It was amazing,” Cruz said. “First two pitches, I was too aggressive. I hit the ball — foul ball, foul ball. So after that, I told myself just slow down and try to hit a fly ball to the outfield.”

Cruz, hit on the wrist by a pitch in the ninth, connected for the fourth grand slam in the playoffs this year. Ryan Roberts and Paul Goldschmidt of Arizona and Robinson Cano of the Yankees also hit them.

STATS LLC confirmed that Cruz’s shot was the first slam to end a postseason game — with a postscript. Robin Ventura sent a tiebreaking drive over the fence to finish a New York Mets victory against

Atlanta in the 1999 NLCS, but was swarmed by teammates between first and second.

Ventura never made it around the bases and was officially credited with a single. His 15th-inning drive for a 4-3 Mets win in Game 5 came to be known as “the grand slam-single.”

The Tigers and Rangers both blew bases-loaded chances in the ninth. Texas shortstop Elvis Andrus made a juggling, over-the-shoulder catch in shallow center field on a flare by Victor Martinez, cradling the ball against his chest to end the inning. Andrus and Texas part-owner Nolan Ryan each flashed a sheepish smile.

In the Texas ninth, Detroit first baseman Miguel Cabrera started and ended a nifty double play on Mitch Moreland’s sharp grounder. David Murphy hit a flyball to shallow left for the first out, keeping the bases loaded.

Texas relievers combined for 8 1-3 scoreless innings, starting the string shortly after Ryan Raburn’s three-run homer off starter Derek Holland put the Tigers ahead 3-2 in the third.

Open reception for LaRoche paintings at PSU is tonight

PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth State University Department of Art will present Gaetano LaRoche: Painting as Art Oct. 11–Dec. 10 at the Silver Center for the Arts. An opening reception will be held October 11 from 4–6 p.m. at the Silver Center.

A painter, printmaker and artist-educator, LaRoche lives and works in New York City. The art he creates reflects on nature and the beauty of the natural world and demonstrates his reverence for the subject. Much of his work is nonobjective, with a responsive interpretation of color and form. In these works, his inspiration for colors, textures and space comes from the color of the sky or water, the depth of a field or forest or the texture of a tree or flower.

LaRoche earned a bachelor of fine arts degree from The Cooper Union in New York, and a master’s degree in art education from Rhode Island College.

He has studied printmaking at the Robert Blackburn

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Staying balanced requires flexibility. Your level of grace depends on just how quickly you can make adjustments. It takes the right combination of strength and fluidity to dance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There are times when you feel like you’re just pretending to be yourself.

Usually, this state reflects a change in your identity that you haven’t quite caught up with yet.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

A situation is causing you more worry than you had anticipated. It’s nobody’s fault that you feel the way you do. However, you are the only one who can move yourself into a new emotional tone.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You like so many things about your life these days. One of the things you like most is that you recognize your own power to change. You have the courage to create the next scene.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your extremely high expectations sometimes benefit you, though these expectations may cause you and others more stress than they’re worth. Bring it down a few notches. You’ll be happier -- everyone will.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). Your active pursuit of a new goal will release an inner well of strength in you. Family dynamics improve in November. You’ll pick up a fun new habit or interest in December. It is so impressive the way you remain focused through conflict in January, and you will be promoted to a position of leadership. Sagittarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 39 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re still not sure whether to attend an upcoming event. Sure, your friends will be there -- and so will your “frenemies.” You may be worried about how to bridge the divide. The whole thing seems like a lot of work.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Once you give someone a special place in your heart, you’re not likely to get the space back. It will be like a tenant who never leaves -- and maybe he or she is so solid that you don’t ever want that tenant to go.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is always something inconvenient about morality. Yet, if you really believe in the rightness or wrongness of an action, there will certainly be consequences for following through with it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When it comes down to presenting ideas, you’ll have the winning delivery. Whether it’s about where to go for lunch or how to invest money, your way of stating things will heavily influence others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). This is a day to follow your own interests. Talk to people who stir your curiosity, and take pictures of the things you find beautiful. As you honor your preferences and inclinations, everything falls in line.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will be excited to go further into an area of study. You sense that what you know already is just the tip of the iceberg.

There is much more to this than meets the eye.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The pretty things you want also happen to be expensive. Can you address practical matters such as your budget and still uphold your aesthetic ideals? If anyone can, it’s you.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 11, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My wife and I have been married for 23 years.

We recently separated due to our 18-year-old son’s anger management issues and my wife’s sick parents. She moved out nine months ago to take care of them.

Well, her parents died, and my son moved in with one of his friends. My wife’s brothers are doing everything they can to cut her out of the estate and throw my son in jail (he has a felony on his record). Now my wife wants me back, but quite frankly, I do not want her back. I have moved on with my life and don’t want the headaches that she and my son have brought me for the past three years.

My attorneys have advised me to divorce, and my wife says they should be disbarred. Any advice? -- Mr. Soon-to-Be Ex Dear Mr.: We realize your life has been difficult and unpleasant for three years, but still, you seem awfully eager to throw in the towel rather than explore what’s left now that the major headaches have been mostly resolved. This is an opportunity to see if you and your wife still love each other and could make a good life together. Emotional exhaustion can interfere with your decision. Please get some counseling, with or without your wife. Make sure you are not tossing away the future good with the lousy past. A 23-year marriage deserves that much.

Dear Annie: Two years ago, my family moved to the east coast. I am active in the community -- volunteering at my children’s elementary school and our church -- and I also have a part-time job. My kids have made many friends and are doing well. The problem is their parents.

Both my husband’s family and mine live in the Midwest, so making connections with people here is very important to us. We have had a couple of parties at our house in an effort to get to know people in our neighborhood. But no one ever

invites us to their house or their parties. I meet lots of great people through my job, but only on a professional level. I’ve met parents through my kids’ school and sports, but no real friendships have developed.

We recently joined a social group (I’m volunteering to help run it), and that has helped somewhat. But so far, only one family in our neighborhood has made any effort to get to know us better. The only parties I am invited to are the ones where I’m expected to buy something.

I like to think we are fun to be around since we have a lot of friends back home. Am I expecting too much, too soon? -- Sad in the Suburbs Dear Sad: We commend your efforts, but making new friends can be hard these days. Pick one couple in your neighborhood and invite them over. Do the same with a couple at school, church and perhaps one from work. See what you have in common, and try to build on that. You also could join a local club, choir, political organization, book club, community theater, art or photography group and see if that garners you some friends with shared interests. Several of our readers have suggested meetup.com, and you might give that a try as well. Good luck.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Sick of the Shrew,” whose bitter sister-in-law, “Elaine,” spreads lies within the family. She and I could compare relatives all day.

After a particularly troubling visit with one relative, my husband found “narcissistic personality disorder” on the Internet. The best suggestion was to limit the time spent with the poisonous person. That seems obvious, but it was a revelation to us.

My husband is still involved with this relative as needed, but the information we gained and the decreased exposure has really improved our family life. -- Hope This Helps

Business community greets new Laconia teachers with welcome bags

Roommate Wanted LACONIA 2-roomates wanted clean, quiet, sober environment.

All inclusive, must see, will go fast. $120/week. 455-2014

For the past three years the Belknap Independent Business Alliance (BIBA) has partnered with the Laconia Main Street Alliance and the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce to present new teachers in local schools with a welcome bag. The bag contains an introduction to local groups, gifts, and offers from BIBA member businesses. BIBA co-founded Sue Bullerwell says, “It’s been a lovely collaboration. Last year, teachers received everything from a freshly-baked cookie to locally-roasted coffee with matching mugs, sterling silver earrings, coupons, a complimentary BIBA loyalty program card and more. The school superintendent’s office distributes the gifts on orientation day. “The ‘welcome packet’ approach has been used in other Independent Alliance Communities but we like the special effort demonstration by our local BIBA members — to reach those whose words and actions will influence many people for years to come,” said Bullerwell. In the photo above, Bullerwell and her husband, Randy, of All My Life Jewelers and Karmen Gifford of the Chamber of Commerce are shown with some of the welcome bags that were prepared this year.

MVSB donates $5k to courtyard project MEREDITH — Meredith Village Savings Bank (MVSB) has donated $5,000 to support “Courtyard on Main,” a Greater Meredith Program project designed to enhance a portion of Main Street in downtown Meredith Village.

The bank recently presented a check to members of the Greater Meredith Program (GMP) to support the initiative, which includes the construction of a new 200-foot walkway in an existing passageway between Main Street and the parking lot of the Inn and Spa at Mills Falls. Spearheaded by the GMP’s Main Street Design Committee, the project also includes new lampposts to improve lighting, the addition of bench seating, and the installation of a directional sign “with a New England flavor” to be placed at

The project is expected to be completed later this fall.

“We’re so thankful to Meredith Village Savings Bank for helping us make improvements that will contribute to the beauty and economic vitality of our village,” said Bonnie Ireland, executive director of the Greater Meredith Program. “This project will allow greater access for visitors traveling between shops and parking areas, as well as creating a safer and more peaceful environment for people who may be walking through the area at night.”

The Greater Meredith Program (GMP) is a non-profit community economic development organization dedicated to enhancing economic vitality, historical and cultural heritage, and
