Neighbors again express alarm over what Wyatt Park has become; behavior around basketball courts is central issue

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “It’s getting worse every day,” said Sally Perrino, whose home overlooks the basketball courts at Wyatt Park.

“They park their cars with lights on and play their music at midnight. These things go on all

night long,” she continued. “It’s not a park anymore.”

More than two dozen people, all adults almost evenly divided between local residents and municipal officials, met at the Community Center last night to begin reclaiming the park for the South End community. Billed

as a charette, the meeting was hosted by Amy Lovisek of the Parks and Recreation Department, who invited residents to identify the problems besetting the park and offer their suggestions for addressing them.

The basketball courts, or more precisely the behavior of

the element drawn to them, overshadowed the discussion.

Echoing Perrino, some neighbors complained of the noise and the litter as well as the intimidating conduct and profane language of those who regularly frequent the courts. see Wyatt ParK page 13

8 killed by gunman at California hair salon

SEAL BEACH, Calif.

(AP) — A gunman opened fire Wednesday in a busy hair salon, killing eight people and critically wounding another while leaving bodies scattered throughout the business in a normally sedate Southern California beach community.

The gunman got into a car and drove away from Salon Meritage after opening fire about 1:30 p.m. He was stopped by officers about a half-mile away and surrendered without incident while saying he had multiple weapons with him, police Sgt. Steve Bowles said.

His name and those of the victims were not immediately released.

Police were struggling to determine what prompted the shootings.

“There may be something to the motive as to a relationship with somebody in the salon, that is our assumption,” Bowles said.

Glenn Zachman, who owns a video newsgathering service, said he arrived at the scene of the arrest shortly after police and saw they had placed plastic bags over the man’s hands to preserve possee GUNMAN page 11

N.H. Primary may have to be contested in early Dec. CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire’s secretary of state on Wednesday called Dec. 6 and Dec. 13 “realistic options” for the state’s presidential primary unless Nevada backs up its caucus to Jan. 17.

The Nevada caucuses are set for Jan. 14, and Iowa has tentatively picked Jan. 3 for its leadoff caucuses. Given a New Hampshire state law requiring the primary to be held at least seven days before any similar contest, New Hampshire could vote no later than Jan. 7, but Gardner said he is unwilling to stick his state between Iowa

and Nevada if those contests remain so close together.

“We cannot allow the political process to squeeze us into a date that wedges us by just a few days between two major caucus states,” he said in a statement. “Our primary will have little meaning if states crowd into holding their events just hours after our polls have closed.”

Unlike other states in which political parties run the primaries and caucuses, New Hampshire taxpayers pay for the primary, and Gardner has the sole authority

to set the date. During the last presidential campaign, Gardner waited until Nov. 21 to set the Jan. 8 date, the earliest date ever.

On Wednesday, he said logistics are in place to have the primary either Dec. 6 or Dec. 13 if necessary.

“Candidates have been campaigning here and elsewhere for months, and it is about time we begin the next stage of the presidential nominating process,” he said.

Gardner and other defenders of New Hampshire say the country — and the see PRIMARY page 9

‘Serioius but amateurish’: Plot to kill Saudi ambassador to U.S. described WASHINGTON (AP) — The alleged Iranian plot against the Saudi ambassador to Washington was “amateur hour,” an unusually clumsy operation for Iran’s elite foreign action unit, the Quds Force, U.S. officials said Wednesday as further stranger-than-fiction details emerged of the assassination gone wrong.

The Iranians’ would-be covert operative turned to a woman he met while working as a used car dealer, hoping to find a Mexican

drug dealer-assassin, and wound up with an American informant instead, according to two U.S. law enforcement officials.

Other U.S. officials said Manssor Arbabsiar made further mistakes, including arranging a pay-off for the attack in an easily traceable way.

They attributed the missteps to Iran’s relative inexperience carrying out covert operations in the United States and Mexico.

They said the U.S. believes the planned

The miracle of iCapitalsim Here is your high-resolution teachable moment of the week: anticapitalist, anti-corporate extremists of “Occupy Wall Street” mourning Apple Inc. founder Steve Jobs without a trace of irony.

While the Kamp Alinsky Kids ditch school to moan about their massive student debt, parade around in zombie costumes and whine about evil corporations over poached Wi-Fi connections, it’s the doers and producers and wealth creators like Jobs who change the world. They are the gifted 1-percent whom the “99-percenters” mob seeks to demonize, marginalize and tax out of existence.

Inherent in the American success story of the iMac/iPhone/iPad is a powerful lesson about the fundamentals of capitalism. The “Occupiers” chant “people over profit.” They call for “caring” over “corporations.” But the pursuit of profits empowers people beyond the bounds of imagination.

I blog on an iMac. When I travel, I bring my MacBook Pro. I Tweet news links from my iPhone. My kids are learning Photoshop and GarageBand on our Macs; they use metronome, dictation, video and camera apps daily. I use the technology for business, pleasure, social networking, raising awareness of the missing, finding recipes and even tuning a ukulele.

None of the countless people involved in conceiving these products and bringing them to market “care” about me. They pursued their own self-interests. Through the spontaneous order of capitalism, they enriched themselves — and the world.

One of my favorite economics essays from which I’ve drawn bottomless inspiration is Leonard Read’s “I, Pencil.” He turned a mundane writing instrument into an elementary study of free-market capitalism. What goes for the pencil goes for any of the products Jobs introduced.

“I have a profound lesson to teach,” Read wrote in the voice of a metaphorical lead pencil. “I can teach this lesson better than can an automobile or an airplane or a mechanical dishwasher because — well, because I am seemingly so simple. Simple? Yet, not a single person on the face of this earth knows how to make me.”

Read traces the family tree of the pencil from the Oregon loggers who harvest its cedar wood, to the California millworkers who cut the wood into thin slats, to Mississippi refinery workers, to the Dutch East Indies farmers who produce an oil used to make erasers. All of these people, and many more at the periphery of the process, have

special knowledge about their life’s work in their separate corners of the earth. But none by himself has the singular knowledge or ability to give birth to a pencil. Few will ever come in contact with the others who make the production of that pencil possible. It’s not because they “care about each other” that they cooperate to deliver any one good. It’s the result of self-interest, multiplied millions of times over.

Read illuminates: “There is a fact still more astounding: The absence of a master mind, of anyone dictating or forcibly directing these countless actions which bring me into being. No trace of such a person can be found. Instead, we find the Invisible Hand at work.” This spontaneous “configuration of human energies” is repeated endlessly in our daily lives. Think of the countless and diverse people involved in producing a Slinky, jump rope or baseball, a diaper, refrigerator or Boeing 747. And, of course, an iMac, iPhone or iPad. Appreciating this voluntary configuration of human energies, Read argued, is key to possessing “an absolutely essential ingredient for freedom: a faith in free people.

Freedom is impossible without this faith.” Indeed. Without that faith, we are susceptible to the force of classwarfare mobs and the arrogance of command-and-control bureaucrats in Washington who believe the role of private American entrepreneurs, producers and wealth generators is to “grow the economy” and who “think at some point you have made enough money.”

The progressives who want to bring down “Wall Street” will snipe that Jobs was one of “theirs,” not “ours.”

He belonged to no one. He was transcendently committed to excellence and beauty and innovation.

And yes, he made gobs of money pursuing it all while benefiting hundreds of millions of people around the world whom he never met, but who shed a deep river of tears upon learning of his death this week.

From “I, Pencil” to iPhone, such is the profound, everlasting miracle of iCapitalism — a triumph of individualism over collectivism, freedom over force and markets over master planning. To borrow an old Apple slogan: It just works.

LETTERS I’m all for teaching tolerance but don’t undermine our culture To the editor, I read a very interesting report in the October 7th edition of The Sun by Roger Amsden concerning “growing intolerance and incivility”. The Laconia Human Relations Committee is working on promoting civil discourse and respect, certainly laudable goals for any community. I would just question their choice of using the Southern Poverty Law Center to promote their “Respectful Schools” initiative. I have no reason not to believe that Lecia Brooks and Michel Marsh Garcia aren’t very nice, concerned and well intentioned spokespersons for the SPLC. I was surprised and dismayed to read where Brooks reported that hate groups are on the rise nationally with over 1,000 now identified as such by the SPLC, a 50-percent increase since the year 2000.

A closer perusal of SPLC reveals that they fancy themselves as some sort of unbiased, certifying agent who have anointed themselves as the country’s foremost expert on deciding who is extremist and who isn’t.

They even have an online publication, “Hatewatch”. As far as being unbiased, SPLC founding president, Julian Bond commented on the Republican Party’s “idea of equal rights is the American flag and the Confederate swastika”. A few groups who they consider hate groups include the American Enterprise Institute, Traditional Values Coalition, Young American for Freedom of Michigan State University and The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). I don’t know how one can claim these are “hate groups” unless one has a politically correct, liberal bias. How else can you put this patriotic groups on the same list as the Klan, Aryan Nation, Neo-Nazis, Racist Skinheads, White Nationalists and Black Separatists, as one can see by viewing SPLC’s colorful “Hate Map”.

I was shocked and chagrined at the folks who were absent from this list: Al Qaeda, Hamas, Hizbullah, Islamic Jihad, Muslim Brotherhood, Abu Sayyaf, the Algerian Armed Resistance and the Islamic Society of North America. Perhaps it is because of this sort of naive, multicultural idealism that someone like Nidal Malik Hasan

could get promoted to major when he had continued to send signals that his intent was death and destruction to infidels. Thirteen deaths and 30 plus wounded later and our leaders worry about lost ground with diversity initiatives and treat him as a lone wolf operative. The SPLC believes anyone who questions the validity of the United Nations is a right wing kook.

Despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, they still view the mega mosque/cultural center Imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf as a moderate, peace loving man. They referenced Gabriel Giffords’ shooter with right wing extremists. Any groups that believe we should not give amnesty to illegal immigrants are automatically considered “hate groups” in their eyes. Perhaps the SPLC doesn’t believe that citizens living in states being bankrupted by these illegals or folks waiting to come in legally are deserving of their concern.Their disingenuousness seemingly knows no bounds.

I am all for teaching tolerance as long as it isn’t undermining our borders, language and culture. That means people should expect to enter our country legally, obey our laws and integrate into our society as millions of immigrants have done for a very long time. Prime Minister David Cameron of Great Britain, Nicholas Sarkozy of France and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany have already experienced the disintegration of their societies through inclusion and tolerance without integration. Multiculturalism has been a disaster in Europe leading to their inexorable capitulation toward radical Islam.

I do applaud the Laconia area for trying to deal effectively with bullying and intolerance. My research tells me that perhaps caution should be the watchword when enlisting the Southern Poverty Law Center to help you cultivate this process of “standing up against violence and hate”. It would appear the representatives weren’t being honest with you regarding their list of “hate groups” in New Hampshire. The Klan has ceased operating according to the Law Center’s own Mark Potok.

LETTERS I have questions & Laconia’s voter need to know your answers To the editor, I want to publicly issue an invitation to candidates for City Council in those wards where there is a contest/choice.

My radio program is available for you to give the listeners and myself the opportunity to present questions prior to the election.

Get in early, as Mark Condodemetraky has done. Call me: 5248333 or email:advocates@wezs.com to discuss the date and time. I’m on Monday through Saturday. The people of Laconia need to know if you will continue staying within the Tax Cap or lower; how much involvement the taxpayers should play in the Colonial Theater sale and renovation — and by whom? Waste disposal, Huot Center renovations, bonded indebtedness, and more. We want to know before the election. Do you have a long term

vision for our city? I do, and I want to know if you have one!

Heck, I want to know how you feel about traffic control rotaries at busy intersections in The Weirs and Main/ Court/Union/S. Main? Do you feel the parks belong to the residents of Laconia and not the P&R Commission?

Should the Board of Library Trustees and P&R Commission be elected by the voters of Laconia?

Should the taxpayers of Laconia purchase more land, i.e. Laconia Prison Property, and for what purpose?

Do you understand that as a City Councilor the City Manager works for you — and not the other way around?

Will you be open to discussing issues with your constituents — before the vote/final decision?

Fiscal policy has been acting as a drag on economic growth To the editor, The incumbent announced a new stimulus package focused on jobs?

Really, the package was focused on jobs. In response to the poor economic news, the incumbent announced a series of new stimulus measures on September 8th. The measure consists of payroll tax cuts. So how will that produce jobs? We can understand how taking in less and holding spending the same will make the debt larger but how will it create jobs?

The proposed new stimulus authorizes new infrastructure spending which will probably create as many jobs as the original stimulus created. Let’s see the unemployment rate when that stimulus was passed was 7.6-percent and now it is 9.1 -percent. 9.1-percent is bigger than 7.6-percent, right? Doesn’t that mean the first stimulus did not save or create any jobs? The math is tricky. Authorizing spending when you are running a deficit will add to the debt.

The measure provides federal support

for state and local governments. Perhaps I was not clear on the point but state and local governments have taxing authority.

They can raise their own money if their citizens feel the need. Having the federal government providing support will create no necessary jobs. What it will do is take more money out of your pocket and it will add to the debt.

Fiscal policy has been acting as a drag on economic growth and that is likely to be true through 2012 and beyond. These proposed measures were bolder than expected. It is clear they have been designed so that they receive no backing from elephants.

An unforeseen result is that even the donkeys are declining to support the measures. A clear indication the proposed package amounts to about $447-billion of wasted spending.

We need leadership. We have enough campaign issues.

Vote early, vote often.

from preceding page small band of anti-Semitic, right wing loons who were rebuked by Bishop John McCormack and the Catholic Church in 2004. Is there any real evidence that their numbers are increasing? The American Third Position Party from Ashland is also on their list. Ryan Murdough, a member, ran in the Republican primary and finished a distant 5th while the Republican Party correctly labeled him a “despicable racist”. Is there any verifiable proof that these hate groups are growing or that they have been clearly connected to an alleged rise in hate crimes and violence?

A far left group, “Think Progress” linked Mr. Murdough to the Tea Party and then were unable to come up with any real evidence to back up their ridiculous accusation. Otherwise, you can bet your diversity ethics dollars (see fund raising genius and cofounder, Morris Dees), that the Tea Party would be prominently displayed on their unbelievably biased “Hate Map”. I have read some writings of

Zudhi Jasser, Brigitte Gabriel, Nonie Darwish, Dinesh D’Sousa and Reza Kahlili (pseudonym) who are the real deal for those who actually want to know where the origin of the majority of hate, intolerance and violence is coming from in this country. From these readings, I have come to the conclusion that the vast majority of peace loving Muslims living in this country believe that all inclusive, politically correct, multiculturalism is far more of a threat to their safety than any ragtag bands of hate-filled right wing extremist groups.

The following is merely a suggestion to the Laconia Public Schools.

You might want to double check to make sure your “Respectful Schools” curriculum is being respectful in an unprejudiced, objective, inclusive way that will prevent a Major Hasan type from ever infiltrating the beautiful lakes region and potentially causing death and destruction to our precious community.

To the editor, The consensus among parents of school age children is that “there is something terribly wrong with the public school system”. Their concerns are that the system is constantly pushing for more money and control . Parents are literally being held hostage to a network of regulations that have been put in place throughout the last century.

Some history might help to give a clearer view of our dilemma: Wilhelm Maximilian Wundt was born in 1832 in Neckarau Germany.

He graduated as a medical doctor from Heidelberg and worked there as a professors assistant for 17 years and later as a professor in the field of psychology. In 1875 he moved to the University of Leipzig where he became its rector. He is known as the founder of experimental psychology .

Many students from Europe and America fell captive to the new science . After their return home as new doctors of psychology they set up their own departments in universities. They trained scores of psychologist who in turn trained others. Eventually getting involved in the field of education.

The first American student to return was G. Stanley Hall. He joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins University in 1883. And organized the university’s psychology lab in 1887. In 1889 Clark University was established in Worcester, Massachusetts. Hall was its first president. In 1892 he helped found the American Psychological Association.

Hall assisted the career of John Dewey who studied under him as a graduate student at John Hopkins.

In 1895 Dewey was invited to join the faculty of the Rockefeller-endowed University of Chicago. He headed the philosophy, teaching and psychology departments. He transformed the American education system.

Edward A. Ross, a University of Wisconsin sociologist wrote in “Social Control” in 1906, “Plans are underway to replace community, family, and church with propaganda, education, mass media…The State shakes loose from Church, reaches out to School… People are only little plastic lumps of human dough”. A theme that Hitler later adopted.

H.H. Goddard wrote in “Human Efficiency” , that government schooling was about “the perfect organization of the hive”. He went on to say standardized testing was a way to make lower classes recognize their own inferiority.

Like wearing a dunce cap it would discourage them from having ambition”.

Arnold Toynbee wrote in his “Study of History” “The original promise of education had been destroyed as soon as the school laws were passed, a destruction caused by “the possibility of turning education to account as a means of amusement for the masses” and a means of “profit for the enterprising person”.

Mass schooling’s set powerful forces in motion for fantastic profits.

Frances Fitzgerald wrote “America Revised.” He raises the puzzle of textbook alteration: “ The ideology that lies behind these texts is rather difficult to define.. It does not fit usual political patterns… the texts never indicate any line of action… authors avoid what they choose to and some of them avoid main issues… they fail to develop any original ideas…they confuse social science with science ..clouds of jargon…leave out ideas…historical names are given no character, they are cipher people.”

John Dewey wrote 83 years earlier that “learning to read in early school life seems to be a perversion“.

Edward Thorndike , another educator stated “ subjects such as arithmetic, language and history include content that is intrinsically of little value” He pioneered “animal psychology” and equated children to monkeys and chickens.

The Rockefeller foundation financed the Teachers College General Education Board. Raymond Fosdick a staffer of John D. Rockefeller stated in a memorial history about the board’s stated goal was “ social control” . Frederick Gates, who became the board’s chairman, joined with John Dewey and questioned the necessity of the three “R’s”. The future goal of Teachers College, the board wrote: “we shall not try to make…children into philosophers or men of learning, or men of science… authors, editors, poets or men of letters”.

Rockefeller’s General Education Board has done much to alter our education system. His influence through grants has swayed many in the education field. The funding of the University of Chicago gave his reputation and control an added nudge. Things gradually began to change. The education system was altered by design.

Many universities that were established in the early history of our country graduated well educated and literate people. Education results far exceeded those of today. If you were to read the Congressional Record from the 1800s it shows that they commanded the use of the English language superior to our own. Grammar was necessary to graduate. In 1910 students were learning mathematical skills that few today know little of. Is it any real wonder why we are being passed by other nations?

As an old friend would often say “ What has happened to this country, I no longer recognize it?” Many of the older generation recognizes that something is wrong while most of our younger generation hasn’t a clue?

We have gone from education to Pavlov’s dog to B.F. Skinners children — proceeded to outcome-based education, assessment testing etc. etc. From high achievers to the lowest common denominator. If it hadn’t been for the many self motivators and naturally bright youth we would surely have failed by the system designed to fail.

LETTERS We thrived for 170 years on solid foundation of U.S. Constitution To the editor, It was some time ago, though not such as is lost to memory, that a quiet moment of satisfaction was given.

Not directly or such that anyone actually spoke the words; but when nearly 20 years ago the Soviet Union collapsed there was earned the victory.

Regardless of what has been largely written, nothing can be taken from one’s own purpose and reason. Others may bray and snort at the fool they make others to be for the belief they hold to be true, and when that truth proves itself most are all to tired to ask after it. Very few remember that the Soviet Union sought to achieve a communist dominated world. Hadn’t the U.S. held off their dominance in Vietnam, giving time for China to strengthen (though perhaps not intentionally) as well as preventing it from becoming another Cuba, we certainly would be living in a different world.

The United States survived over 170 years upon the solid foundation of the federal Constitution. Changed and added to as it has been, it has been under its own rules. Somewhere along the route to the twenty-first century that all has changed. The assassinations — J. Kennedy, Malcolm X, M. L. King, R. Kennedy — then LBJ and

his immigration policy, Great Society, federal funding of education, War on Poverty, Medicare & Medicaid, Urban Renewal, gun control, space race and, just for closers, escalation of the Vietnam War, and for kickers, urban riots and riots at the 68 Democrat Convention in Chicago. A failed presidency?

Today Medicare-Medicaid cost over $1.5-trillion, more than Social Security given to us by LBJ’s predecessor, FDR. How well has the ‘War on Poverty’ succeeded. All of his socialist and central government programs given us without adherence to the federal constitution. Now another presidency is coming to its last year and a final blow to the nails in the coffin in which freedom and liberty will be buried.

There are those who choose not to vote for whatever reason. Many battles and the blood of 100s of thousands of dead and millions of wounded and yet living brave men and also women have been give to secure that right to vote. Given to secure our freedom to live our life free of a ruling class of superior minded people.

Should I live another 25 years I hope the day will find the coffin empty and liberty yet free in the land.

This is a free country and one can choose either right or left To the editor, Who is this man Veverka and why is he so mad at so many people? It’s very clear he is a left wing liberal with only scorn for right wing people. Now, Mr. Veverka, this is a free country and one can choose either right or left, and that includes both good and evil decisions.

We, as a people, have made bad decisions, but also good decisions.

The people will vote for the man, or woman, to become our next leader.

But don’t slander people (Tea Party, etc.) standing up against unions. It’s about time we have a right to work without unions. Ever see a bunch of union workers standing around a hole

in the road watching one person doing the repairs? We all have.

In spite of everything, Mr. Veverka, we are a great people. But like the Red Sox, we need to make changes.

By the way, the Amish are hard working Americans who could teach us a better life, for sure.

In closing, the only religious nuts are the Islamic nuts who destroyed the twin towers, killing 3,000 Americans, in New York City. True Americans love God and stand for the right, not wrong, choices (right or left). I’m right all the way. God bless America.

Don’t brag about helping seniors until you do something that works To the editor, There should be a law against what some companies do to seniors.

Sure, give them a free cell phone for emergencies. They have to walk at least a quarter of a mile from their apartment to get a signal to us it.

What about when they can’t walk?

That company is not doing them any favors and they should be ashamed of themselves. Giving free phones and

minutes doesn’t do a bit of good if the phones don’t work correctly. It’s like giving a dog with no teeth a bone — or giving cereal with no milk.

So don’t brag about helping the seniors until you them them something that works. Just because their hair is gray doesn’t mean their brain doesn’t work. Please remember that.

Diana G. Field Franklin

Both parties brought this on, now the American tiger is awake To the editor, The party’s over for the president, corporate greed and both Republican and Democratic parties. Hey, you people, and your predecessors, brought it on, now live with it.

The Wall Street protesters are but the beginning. Hey, the man can do as Hoover did with the bonus marchers on Washington, with arrests, clubs, tear gas, whatever, but it’s irrelevant.

He has dropped the ball and has

become history.

You might have gone on indefinitely with the plunder of the human and material wealth of this great country, had it not been that your greed exceeded common sense, and you awoke a sleeping tiger, the American people.

“Take what you will saith the devil, then pay for it.”

Alton experiencing rash of daytime burglaries, 14 in the last 70 days

By AdAm drApcho

ALTON — There have been 14 reported break-ins in Alton since August 1, Detective Todd MacDougall reported yesterday. He urged residents to lock their vehicles, the doors and windows of their homes and report anything suspicious.

Although the break-ins have occurred throughout town and not in any particular area, MacDougall said

there have been similarities among the incidents. The perpetrators have forced entry into homes, through a locked door or window, and in cases where a time of entry can be determined, it seems the break-ins have occurred during daytime hours.

Both seasonal and year-round homes have been targeted, MacDougall said, and the incidents have occurred during both weekdays and on weekends.

Items most commonly missing after the break-ins

are discovered are cash, coins and jewelry, though a small television was taken in at least one occasion.

The most recent reported break-in was October 10, MacDougall said.

“Keep an eye out for any suspicious activity or vehicles,” MacDougall said, urging residents not to hesitate reporting what they see. The Alton Police Department can be reached by calling 875-0757.

NOUCAS from page one Noucas and mother of his child, said she was asleep in her second floor bedroom when she woke to a “loud bang” above her followed by what sounded like “a ruckus.”

Yesterday began week two of Noucas’s trial. He is charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary. To date, the jury has heard from

a convicted co-conspirator, a neighbor and friend of Noucas, and a number of police officers.

David Rivera, the man who fought back and killed Hart, also took the stand last week but said he didn’t remember anything. He was staying in a third-floor room as a guest of Longvals.

She said she initially thought the television on the third floor or Rivera, who is from Brockton, Mass.

had fallen.

Longval testified she got out of bed and opened the double-doors to a dark hall and saw someone who she couldn’t identify rush by her in the dark.

When Assistant Belknap County Prosecutor Carley Ahern asked her if she saw any blood, she began weeping and said she’s “never forget the sound of blood,” describing what she heard as if something was being “squirted through a faucet.”

Longval said she heard somebody following the first person down the stairs, went into her room, locked the doors, and grabbed knife and went into her closet. She called 9-1-1.

A short time later, she said she heard a car pull into her driveway — her bedroom window faces the driveway — and heard a woman she identified as Julie Sallies screaming.

Sallies, who is serving five to 10 years in N.H. State Prison for Women for her role in the crime, testified last week that she drove Noucas, the late Robert Hart, and another woman in her car to 16 Lake St. so “the boys” could scare the “kid” who was staying in Longval’s third floor spare bedroom into giving them his money, his drugs or both.

Yesterday, Longval said she knew Sallies and didn’t like her. She described her as a “liar and a thief” who was not welcome in her home.

She also said she knew Hart, who was stabbed to death in the bedroom where Rivera was staying, and that he and Noucas were friends.

Longval also testified that she saw Sallies and Hart briefly that Friday.

The jury also learned about the relationship between Rivera and Longval and heard her story as to how he came to be staying in her spare bedroom.

Longval said she became acquainted with a man she knew as “Derek” who wanted to stay in her spare room on weekends when he came up from Massachusetts.

Rivera, she said, was introduced to her by Derek and was his cousin. Longval said she was told his name was “Raoul” and that he would spend Saturday night, June 5 to 6, 2010 in the spare bedroom.

She described him as a huge African-American man who weighed about 300 pounds.

She said she and Rivera walked to the nearby convenience store on the corner earlier Saturday afternoon and bought some junk food. Later that evening, she guessed around 7 p.m., she ordered pizza and a submarine sandwich for the two of them.

She said she took Rivera’s sandwich up to him because he was big and had a hard time climbing the stairs, noticing he was watching television or a movie on an X-Box, but she didn’t remember which one.

She said she went to bed sometime between 10 p.m. and midnight and fell asleep watching television.

Longval also testified that Noucas had been back in her life before the alleged robbery and, for the most part, they were getting along pretty well.

That Saturday she said she had seen Noucas, who was helping her neighbor Gina Provost move, but they had an argument and she had told him to leave.

She also testified he had clothes and other personal belongings in her house.

Under cross-examination, she admitted to sending him a text message on Saturday asking him to return to her house, apologizing for previously being in a bad mood and that she wanted him to return.

She testified she didn’t remember if she left the door unlocked but, after reviewing the statement she gave police, said she told them she usually locks the door but didn’t remember if she had that night.

When Ahern showed her the place in her statement see next page

from preceding page where police asked about the door she told them, “It should have been locked. I always lock my door.”

Crying on the stand, she said she was very shaken that night when police interviewed her because she had been told by Sallies that Noucas was dead and she had been detained at gunpoint and handcuffed by police. She said she didn’t really remember what she told police during her only interview with them.

(Noucas, of course, was not dead. He was seriously wounded by a knife attack and Sallies drove him to the Meredith Police Station, from where he was transferred to Lakes Region General Hospital for treatment. Sallies testified she then returned to the area of Longval’s apartment to look for Hart.)

Longval also testified yesterday she had once given Noucas a key, had taken it away after one of their arguments, but had one remade that she gave to Provost for Noucas to use.

“Do you recall telling police no one had a key?”

Ahern pressed. After defense attorney Andrew Winters’ objection was overruled, she told the jury she didn’t tell police about the key she gave Provost.

“Are you lying then or are you lying now,” Ahern asked.

“I’m not lying. Sometimes people leave things out,” she said.

In other testimony, the jury heard from N.H. homicide investigator that all together, five latex gloves and two knives that were not part of Longval’s knives in her utensil drawer or dishwasher were found in the apartment. One knife was in her bedroom and one was in her son’s bedroom, also on the third floor of her apartment.

A third knife, one identified by Sallies as one of hers from a kitchen knife set she owned, was fished from a storm drain across the street from 16 Lake Street.

Police testified there was no obvious blood on any of them.

Two white latex gloves were found by police on Hart’s hands, one was in Sallies’ car, one was in the bedroom where Hart was killed and one was in the middle of Route 3 in front of the Meredith Police station.

Two orange face masks were found in the third floor bedroom and one was found in Sallies car. One was covered in blood.

The trail resumes today at 10:30 a.m. in Belknap County Superior Court.

LPD’s Citizen Police Academy class focuses on aspects of domestic violence issue

LACONIA — The 2011 Citizen Police Academy is entering its fifth week. In recognition of “Domestic Violence Awareness” month, recruits recently heard presentations by Officer Adam Marsh and a representative of New Beginnings on the subject of domestic violence. Attendees learned the protocol that officers follow when handling a domestic violence related call and the support officers and victims receive from New Beginnings.

Meghan Noyes, executive director of the Greater Lakes Child Advocacy Center also spoke about that agency’s role in the community. The CAC works

closely with law enforcement agencies and families in the Lakes Region. Its mission is to effectively intervene on multiple levels to help end sexual and physical violence against children in our community.

Three quilts were also on display from the “Hands are Not For Hitting” project, which was initiated by the Family Violence Prevention Council. The mission of the FVPC is to promote safe and violence free living environments for children and families throughout Belknap County through education and awareness activities, and advocacy and treatment interventions.

NH PRIMARY from page 2 candidates — are well-served because the primary requires close contact with voters, not just namerecognition or advertising cash. Gardner also insists that New Hampshire has a uniquely probing and democratic political culture, of which the primary, dating to 1916, is part.

“Right now, the problem is the date of Nevada. We will respond as we need to in order to honor New Hampshire’s tradition and to keep our primary rel-

evant,” he said. “Not to so would allow us to lose an important element of American democracy forever.

New Hampshire will not let that happen.”

Gilford selectman wary but agree to switch from PSNH to Titan Energy for supply of electricity

By Gail OBer

GILFORD — Selectmen voted to try a different electricity supplier for one year in hopes of saving as much as $8,500 next year.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said Titan Energy offered the town a rate of not more than $.0757 per kilowatt hour.

“We haven’t paid less than $.08 per kilowatt hour since 2008,” said Dunn when asked by Selectman Gus Benavides if he tried to go back to Public Service of New Hampshire for a matching rate. “Their rate is their rate.”

Dunn said Titan said they would check market rates daily with an eye to buying cheaply on the spot market and possibly getting rates below the capped maximum.

Selectmen were not entirely convinced initially, asking Dunn a number of questions about provisions for contract termination if Titan doesn’t deliver as promised.

“I don’t want to walk into another FairPoint,” Benavides said referring to the attempt last year to switch the town’s telephone system that ended in complete failure and an outstanding six-figure phone bill that took Dunn better than six months to get resolved.

Chair John O’Brien wanted to make sure the town could get out of the contract if for example, “our electricity doesn’t show up for three days.”

Dunn said that part of the contract is if Titan breaks the terms it has to pay the town $.012 for the average amount of kilowatt hours left on the balance of the contract.

LACONIA — After a brief investigation, police yesterday arrested a local woman after allegedly finding counterfeit currency at her home.

Ryann Johnson, 30, of 96 Sumner Street, who was arrested on a charge of robbery stemming from an incident in January, was also charged with forgery upon the discovery of the bogus bills. She was held in Belknap County Jail in lieu of $10,000 cash bail pending her arraignment in the 4th Circuit District Court Laconia this morning.

Captain Bill Clary said that police fielded several reports of counterfeit currency circulating in the area and were in contact with agents of the United States Treasury Department. After obtaining information indicating that there could be counterfeit currency at Johnson’s residence, police sought, obtained and executed a search warrant shortly before 2 p.m. yesterday when they allegedly found several hundred dollars in what Clary described as “poor quality” counterfeit bills, most of them $20s.

IRANIAN PLOT from page 2 Hillary Rodham Clinton spoke Wednesday of a “dangerous escalation” of what the U.S. claims is an Iranian pattern of franchising terror abroad.

“We will work closely with our international partners to increase Iran’s isolation and the pressure on its government and we call upon other nations to join us in condemning this threat to international peace and security,” Clinton said at a Washington conference.

Her words strongly suggested that the U.S. wants some new action against Iran from the U.N. Security Council, which has already approved several rounds of mild to moderate sanctions on Iran over its disputed nuclear program.

Two men, including a member of Iran’s Quds Force special foreign actions unit, were charged in New York federal court Tuesday with conspiring to kill the Saudi diplomat, Adel Al-Jubeir. Justice Department officials say the men tried to hire a purported member of a Mexican drug cartel to carry out the assassination with a bomb attack while Al-Jubeir dined at his favorite restaurant.

U.S. officials believe Iran hoped that an attack of that design would be blamed on al-Qaida. That, in turn, would strike at two of Iran’s chief enemies: the U.S., constantly at odds with Iran over its nuclear aspirations, and Saudi Arabia, battling Iran in a diplomatic Cold War for influence across the Persian Gulf and Middle East.

Saudi Arabia most recently helped thwart Shiitemajority demonstrators in Bahrain, whom Iran backed, and clashed again with Iran in Syria. Iran advised Syrian leaders on how to crack down on demonstrators, while Saudi Arabia has encouraged further protests and called for the Syrian government’s ouster.

The Quds Force is tasked with extending Iranian influence through fear and violence, intimidating other countries with assassinations, terror attacks and kidnapping, the officials said.

Such plots are managed by the Quds Force’s Special External Operations Unit, and carried out by sometimes unexpected proxies, like anti-Shiite Sunni extremists, the officials said.

‘Audits’ of town buildings complete, Meredith Energy Committee will make recommendations MEREDITH — With the completion of energy audits on five municipal buildings following on the heels of similar assessments of the Community Center, Police Station and Fire Station, the Energy Committee is positioned to recommend measures for optimizing performance and managing costs.

Last month Integrated Building Energy Associates, LLC of Bradford delivered audit reports on the Town Hall, Town Hall Annex, Department of Public Works office, Public Library and water treatment plant. The work was funded by a grant awarded through a program authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In May, the New Hampshire Energy Technical Assistance and Planning Program, administered by the Lakes Region Planning Commission, completed assessments of the remaining three buildings.

The audits evaluate the envelope, mechanicals and plumbing of each building and include specific recommendations for reducing energy consumption and trimming energy costs.

Ken Colburn, chairman of the Energy Committee, said that some measures require operational changes and other capital investments, adding that because of the constraints on municipal expenditures priority will be assigned to the least costly recommendations.

After meeting with the Energy Committee, town manager Phil Warren said that departments were already pursuing some of the recommendations and that others would be considered in the course of preparing future town budgets.

Colburn stressed that apart from reducing the cost of operating municipal buildings, the audits offer an opportunity for the town to “lead by example.” He said that the Energy Committee is preparing the “Meredith Energy Handbook,” which will present specific measures, technologies and resources to enable property owners manage their energy consumption and costs. The committee anticipates that the handbook will be available before the year is out.

GUNMAN from page 2 sible gunshot residue.

He also saw a bulletproof vest on the back of a patrol car but didn’t know if the man, dressed in a button-down shirt and pants, had been wearing it.

The suspect was cooperative when officers, working from a description of the shooter, stopped him near the salon, Bowles added.

TV news video showed the man, in handcuffs, being placed in a patrol car and taken away about two-and-a-half hours after the shooting. A new white pickup truck that was believed to be his was parked on the modest residential street with its doors open.

Police responding to a report of shots fired found six people dead and

three wounded. Two of the wounded died at a hospital. The other person was listed in critical condition.

Bowles said the victims were scattered throughout the salon. One wounded person, a man, was found outside the building. It wasn’t clear if he was trying to flee when he was shot or if he was the one wounded survivor.

Police were still trying to determine the sequence of events inside the shop.

“We’re unsure at this point if he shot from the entrance and people, as they were shot, ran in seeking cover or seeking shelter, but we have fatalities throughout the salon,” Bowles told reporters at a news conference outside the business. see next page

LACONIA – Laconia Rotary Club members recently constructed four raised vegetable gardens at the Salvantion Army-run Carey House Homeless Shelter on Union Avenue.

The four raised gardens, which are 4-foot by 8-foot long and two timbers deep, will provide the residence with an opportunity to learn about gardening. In addition all of the vegetable which are grown will provide healthy fair for the dinner table at the shelter.

The idea of the garden was first proposed by Susan Lund, the director of the Carey House to Ken Sawyer, a Laconia Rotary board member. She’s an avid gardener herself and believed the residence would enjoy maintaining the gardens, giving them a feeling of being more at home.

The proposal came too late in the growing season to harvest vegetables his year, so Laconia Rotary

decided to make it a two stage project. The raised beds were constructed this fall and the Rotarians will return in the spring to assist with the planting of the vegetables.

The sturdy beds are made of weather resistant 6-inch-square timbers, and will last for decades.

Sawyer said the club would like to thank the following individuals and their businesses for their generous donations: Sally at Boulia Gorrell Lumber Company for timbers, Pat at Petal Pusher’s Farm for the rich planting soil and Jim at Taylor Rental for the use of the “Bobcat” loader.

Laconia Rotary Club hosts lunch meetings every Thursday at the Belknap Mill. Individuals interested in learning more about Rotary should contact Bill Parkinson at 737-6744.

from preceding page “From my observation, it did look like people were seeking shelter at the time,” he said.

Bowles said the salon was busy at the time, with every hair-dressing station in operation.

He didn’t know what type of weapon was used or if the man used more than one.

Salon employee Lorainne Bruielle, who wasn’t working Wednesday, told the Long Beach Press-Telegram the gunman was the husband of another employee.

N.H. House approves budget fix, with a catch

CONCORD (AP) — Lawmakers’ efforts to make a state budget revision aimed at reducing welfare spending stalled Wednesday after the House sent a bill that would make the fix back to the Senate, which isn’t planning to meet in session for the rest of this year.

The budget fix, which would save the state $8 million a year, is hung up on House Speaker William O’Brien’s insistence on tinkering with the bill.

The law change cuts welfare benefits to people who also get federal Supplemental Security Income Program checks. The SSI program helps low-income disabled adults and children, as well as low-income residents 65 and older who are not disabled.

O’Brien insisted on an amendment dealing with marital masters, who preside over family law and divorce cases, which sent the bill back to the Senate instead of to Gov. John Lynch for his signature. The House passed the amended bill 237-126; the Senate has no plans to return to Concord until January.

Lynch, O’Brien and Senate President Peter Bragdon all agree that the budget fix needs to be made.

Lynch and lawmakers counted on the $8 million in savings but did not change a law needed to achieve them when they wrote the budget for the two fiscal years that began June 30.

So far the delay has cost the state $2 million and waiting until January for the Senate to act would cost another $2 million.

The Senate passed the bill to change the law on Sept. 7.

Bragdon wrote the House a letter Sept. 28 urging the House to fix the error without adding an amendment so Lynch could sign it. Bragdon said the delay to January would cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

Because the Legislature is part-time and many senators have other jobs, Bragdon wrote, “it was extremely difficult to find a date this fall when all the senators were available to come to Concord in order to pass (the budget fix bill).”

Bragdon said the senators take “seriously the idea of a part-time citizen Legislature. We believe people should be able to serve and also work or run a business. We certainly don’t expect legislators to be in Concord all year long.”

O’Brien’s amendment is intended to end the marital master system by barring renewal or extensions of contracts for the masters.

A new circuit court system would handle family law and divorce cases, and the Judicial Branch would like to phase out marital masters as their terms expire by converting them into judges. During the budget’s development, two marital master’s contracts were renewed, angering House Republican leaders.

House Republican Leader D.J. Bettencourt of Salem argued the Judicial Branch did not honor an agreement with the House last winter to stop renewing marital master contracts and the law needed to be strengthened to make the program’s end clear.

In response to Bragdon, Bettencourt said representatives also have busy lives but more than 300 showed up Wednesday to act on bills.

WYATT PARK from page one Others spoke of a “criminal element,” “drug trafficking” and “physical threats.” .

City Councilor Brenda Baer (Ward 4) suspected that much of the trouble was caused by “outsiders” and suggested closing the basketball courts, which are open until 10 p.m., earlier in the evening and increasing the frequency of police patrols.

“It’s open too late,” agreed City Councilor Bob Hamel (Ward 5), who said the courts should open at dawn and close at dusk.

Police Chief Chris Adams readily acknowledged the problems and said that recently a sergeant, three officers, a dispatcher and a secretary have been assigned the task of addressing the criminal behavior in and around the park. He recalled that a similar initiative proved successful at Sanborn Park in Lakeport, where trafficking, fights and assaults were frequent.

“The layout of the park is just horrible,” said Tom Mitchell, whose home is adjacent to the basketball courts, which are in the southwest corner of the park bounded by Center Street and Webster Street, both lined with homes. He remarked that if the courts were in the northwest section of the small park, where the

playground is located, “we wouldn’t be here.” Mitchell was among several residents to observe that many nearby residents shunned the park.

One father said that the Lion’s Club donated playground equipment intended to make the park a destination for neighborhood families with children. “I don’t know if it’s a destination I want my kids going to now,” he said.

Jack Terrill of the Lakes Region United Way and a city council candidate in Ward 4 suggested redesigning the park. “Now you’re talking about major money,” Baer replied. “At last!” declared Perrino, who said that apart from the donated playground equipment the last improvements to the park were undertaken 35 years ago.

City Manager Scott Meyers assured residents “you’ve got quite the ear of the city,” pointing to the presence of so many city officials.

Kevin Dunleavy, director of Parks and Recreation, explained that the goal was to develop a master plan for Wyatt Park based on the preferences expressed by residents.

“A peaceful existence for the neighbors,” Mitchell insisted, “has to be number one.”

Boston Globe provides theories for Red Sox collapse; Francona was distracted by failed marriage & knee pain & clubhouse was an eating/drinking mess BOSTON (AP) — As the Boston Red Sox disintegrated in what would become the worst September collapse in baseball history, some at Fenway Park grew concerned that the pain medication Terry Francona was taking after a half-dozen procedures on his knee was affecting his ability to manage, according to a report in the Boston Globe.

In a 2,500-word, front-page article headlined, “Inside the Collapse,” the newspaper spread the blame on all sides: apathetic players eating fried chicken in the clubhouse during games; a general manager who squandered a $161 million budget on underperformers; ownership that thought players could be bought off with $300 headphones and a party on John Henry’s 164-foot yacht, “Iroquois.”

But the most salacious revelations involved Francona, who left the team after the season when his contract options were not picked up. Since then, reports have surfaced about the dysfunction in a Red Sox clubhouse that produced a 7-20 record in September to turn what had been a once comfortable lead in the playoff race into an early offseason.

According to the Globe, team sources “expressed concern that Francona’s performance may have been affected by the use of pain medication.” The sources were not identified, the article said, saying those interviewed feared for their jobs or their relationships inside the organization.

The article also said Francona was worried about his son and son-in-law, who are Marine officers serving in Iraq. At the same time, Francona was living in a hotel, separated from his wife of more than 30 years.

Responding to the allegations that he was “distracted,” Francona noted that he was dealing with the same problems during the four-month period when the team was going 80-41. Francona’s ill health was no secret — he was taken to the hospital with chest pains from Yankee Stadium in 2005 —

and he said he was taking the medication after multiple knee operations and at least five procedures to drain blood from his knee.

“It makes me angry that people say these things because I’ve busted my (butt) to be the best manager I can be,” Francona told the paper. “I wasn’t terribly successful this year, but I worked harder and spent more time at the ballpark this year than I ever did.”

Francona and second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who declined to assign blame for the collapse, were the only individuals who were willing to discuss the team’s clubhouse culture on the record. (Designated hitter David Ortiz also commented, but said, “I don’t feel like talking about it anymore.”)

Francona told the paper that he confirmed with team Dr. Larry Ronan that he did not have a problem with drug abuse.

“I went and saw the proper people and it was not an issue,” Francona said. “It never became an issue, and anybody who knew what was going on knows that.”

If Francona was distracted, he was not alone.

A hastily scheduled day-night doubleheader to avoid Hurricane Irene angered players, who complained that management cared more about the money from ticket sales than winning. Sensing the “lingering resentment,” the article said, ownership threw a players-only party on Henry’s yacht and gave each player a pair of expensive headphones.

Pitchers Josh Beckett, Clay Buchholz, John Lackey and Wakefield also appeared — in their uniforms, in front of the Green Monster — in a music video for a country song, “Hell yeah, I like beer.” Henry did not know about the appearance, he has said, and it is more troublesome when coupled with reports that Beckett, Lackey and Jon Lester were among those who would eat fried chicken, drink beer and play video games in the clubhouse during games, instead of being in the dugout with their teammates.

BOMB PLOT from page one ment warning that if the United States continues “to persist and promote the blasphemy of Muhammad and the prophets,” it risks “a great calamity ... through the hands of the mujahedeen soon.”

“If you laugh at us now, we will laugh at you later on the day of judgment,” he said.

Abdulmutallab suggested more than a year ago that he wanted to plead guilty but never did. He dropped his four-person, publicly financed defense team in favor of representing himself with help from a prominent local lawyer appointed by the court, Anthony Chambers.

In an interview, Chambers said Abdulmutallab privately renewed his interest in a guilty plea Tuesday before the start of the trial. But it did not happen immediately because the defendant was not prepared to go through the lengthy required question-and-answer session with the judge.

When the two met again Wednesday morning, Abdulmutallab was ready, Chambers said.

Prosecutors were aware of a possible plea, but there were no negotiations. Abdulmutallab had “no interest” in speaking to prosecutors, Chambers said, and was unlikely to get any benefit at this stage of the case.

Empty Bowls event raises money to feed hungry

MEREDITH — Inter-Lakes High School will host its second annual Empty Bowls Dinner in the high school cafeteria from 5:30- 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, October 16.

The basic idea for Empty Bowls is simple. Guests choose a student made ceramic bowl in which a simple meal of rice or soup is served. Participants leave with a ceramic bowl which is kept as a reminder that there are always empty bowls in the world.

In exchange for the meal and the bowl, guests give a suggested minimum donation of ten dollars and the meal’s sponsors choose hungerfighting organizations to receive the money collected. Inter-Lakes has already donated to the “Heifer Project” during a Christmas rally selling Empty Bowls T-shirts.

The proceeds from this event and shirt sales will go to local hunger charities. Area restaurants will supply a simple dinner of rice.

By Holiday Mathis tion of wanting what you have.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The so-called “higher authority” may not have the power or knowledge you believe he should have. Be careful not to project onto people qualities they do not actually possess.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Just because you accept your past and deal with the present doesn’t mean you want more of the same in the future. In fact, you’re starting to envision something entirely different.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You rise above the pettiness to which others stoop. You’ll keep the communication lines open because you recognize that it’s the smartest, most honorable and ultimately most effective thing to do.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Others share knowledge with you.

However, it doesn’t always seem at first like the gift it really is. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by too much information.

Store it away for a time when you can process it more readily.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Aspiring to images of beauty that are something other than what you look like is a bit silly considering you will always be most attractive when you embrace your most authentic self.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 13).

Your environment will change to fit the new direction your life is taking. Social fun in November and February is miraculously both luxurious and inexpensive.

December brings a financial upturn.

January brings freedom from a problem that has bothered you for years.

You’ll expand your influence in March.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Success will have more to do with your winning attitude than anything else.

You’ll express yourself in a manner that shows your intent to solve problems, not create them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Don’t try too hard to calculate every aspect of a risk. You couldn’t if you tried, and you would be wasting time and confusing the matter, as well. Use your intuition instead. If it feels right, do it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re fast arriving at your next incarnation.

Something in you wants to cling to the past. The uncertainty of “becoming” can be scary. The larger part of you realizes that this transition will be far more graceful if you throw yourself into it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will enjoy the thrill of the hunt. As it goes with these things, the idea that you will persist toward your goal until the final pounce is far more important than the prize itself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You know how to be happy, and yet you don’t always choose happiness for yourself.

It’s a matter of deciding to interpret events as beneficial to you, whether or not they seem inherently positive.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The comfort you now experience has a way of lulling you into a kind of sleepwalking state in which you walk around not noticing everything you could be noticing. Jostle yourself awake, or someone will do it for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are in an enviable position as you enjoy the life you have made for yourself. Not only do you have what you want, but you also embody the very rare condi-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Oct. 13, the 286th day of 2011. There are 79 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 13, 2010, rescuers in Chile using a missilelike escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a half-mile underground.

On this date: In A.D. 54, Roman Emperor Claudius I died, poisoned apparently at the behest of his wife, Agrippina (ag-rih-PEE’nuh).

In 1307, King Philip IV of France ordered the arrests of Knights Templar on charges of heresy.

In 1775, the United States Navy had its origins as the Continental Congress ordered the construction of a naval fleet.

In 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid during a ceremony in the District of Columbia.

In 1843, the Jewish organization B’nai B’rith (buh-NAY’ brith) was founded in New York City.

In 1845, Texas voters ratified a state constitution.

In 1944, American troops entered Aachen, Germany, during World War II. In 1974, longtime television host Ed Sullivan died in New York City at age 73.

In 1981, voters in Egypt participated in a referendum to elect Vice President Hosni Mubarak the new president, one week after the assassination of Anwar Sadat.

One year ago: U.S. authorities announced the arrests of 73 people accused of being part of a vast network of Armenian gangsters and their associates who allegedly used phantom health care clinics and other means to try to cheat Medicare out of $163 million.

Today’s Birthdays: Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is 86. Actress Melinda Dillon is 72. Singer-musician Paul Simon is 70. Actress Pamela Tiffin is 69.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, October 13, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Two of my married children have been in a feud for more than three years. It started with comments made about one of their children and has accelerated to the point where one won’t attend a family function if the other is there. Now it is spreading to my other children, who refuse to be in the same room with feuding people. It breaks my heart.

My husband and I arranged a family dinner where we suggested everyone simply forgive each other, but it didn’t work.

We have written letters and talked to our children individually. We even postponed our family reunion because so many of them weren’t going to attend and I couldn’t handle it myself.

I do not know what to do and would appreciate any suggestions. -- Nameless Dear Nameless: What a shame that your children cannot appreciate their sibling relationships enough to put this aside.

Unfortunately, such feuds can take on a life of their own, making reconciliation harder as time passes. Everyone loses. Ask if any of the children would agree to seek family counseling with you. Those who are willing could benefit, and it will help you develop better coping skills. Continue to see your children individually, and occasionally remind them of the good times they had together when they were younger. Regretfully, there is only so much you can do in such a situation.

Dear Annie: A few years back, my father, “Peter,” died after a long and awful illness. Within a year of his death, my best friend decided to adopt a dog. She told me she was naming the dog after a character in one of her favorite TV shows, “Peter.”

I was surprised by her choice, especially since it’s not a common name for a pet. It apparently didn’t occur to her that it might make me uncomfortable. At the time, I didn’t

say anything, fearing it would seem self-involved and overly sensitive of me. However, when my mother heard about the dog’s name, she was quite offended. My brother was also not happy about a dog sharing a name with a beloved family member so soon after his death.

I find that I still resent my friend’s choice. Too much time has passed for me to say anything now, but I am wondering whether we are right to be unhappy about this. Was it inappropriate for my friend to give her dog the same name as my recently deceased father? Or is this OK since she claims to be naming it after a completely different person? -- Confused Dear Confused: Did your friend address your father by his first name? If not, the connection may not have been as obvious to her as it was to you. Or you could choose to believe that she was trying to honor your dad. And of course, it’s equally possible that she is simply obtuse and insensitive. People can name their pets what they wish, and you can’t help how you feel about it. However, since this still bothers you after so many years, you may as well mention how much it upset you. We suspect she hasn’t a clue.

Dear Annie: This is for “Lonesome,” the woman who joins groups and does volunteer work, but doesn’t find any lasting friendships. It may not be her.

I have joined my share of groups and have found that many people simply are living in their own little world comprised of their family and immediate circle of friends. They feel no desire to add anyone else.

It can be hard to make friends with people whose lives are often filled with long commutes and work hours, day care, after-school activities, caring for aging family members, etc.

All you can do is keep trying. Things are not the way they used to be 20 years ago. -- Not in My Own Little World
