BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Alerted by a cell phone call, police rushed to 227 Eastman Shore Road at 11:15 a.m. yesterday where they interrupted a break-in and arrested four men on charges of burglary.

Tyler Ford, 18, of 21 Sunshine Drive, Belmont was charged with burglary and second degree assault, both class B felonies.

Ford refused bail and was taken to Belknap County Jail pending see HOME page 12

NEW HAMPTON – Long-time New Hampton School trustee Herman Hassinger and his wife Doris died in a smallplane crash yesterday on Route 93, south of Concord, yesterday afternoon while on their way to a quarterly Board of Trustee meeting.

Hassinger was a retired architect who designed many of the buildings on the prep school’s campus. A trustee since 1978, he was the longest serving member of the board. He and his wife were both 83.

“He was incredibly generous with his time and thoughtful of the student experi-

ence at New Hampton,” said Peter Galletly, the Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Hassinger’s daughter Elizabeth and his son John are both graduates of New Hampton School.

New Hampshire Herman Hassinger State Police said the (New Hampton School photo) Hassingers were flying between the Boire Field in Nashua and the Laconia Airport when their plane went down. Federal officials are investigat-

ing the cause of the crash. (See story on page 2.)

Head of School Andrew Menke described Hassinger as a wonderful presence and a consistent voice who was instrumental in the school’s International Baccalaureate Program.

A Philadelphia native, Hassinger was the president of Herman Hassinger Architects in Moorestown, New Jersey before his retirement to Block Island, R.I. He was the lead architect on several buildings at the New Hampton School including Alumni Hall and the Academic Research Center. He was a member and past presisee HASSINGER page 10

NEW YORK (AP) — A city police officer was charged Thursday with leading a ghoulish double life by using a law enforcement database and fetish chat rooms to dream up a plot to torture women and then cook and eat their body parts.

Gilberto Valle left a trail of emails, instant messages and computer files detailing the bizarre cannibalism scheme, according to a criminal complaint, which identified two women as Victim 1 and Victim 2.

He catalogued at least 100 women on his computer, federal investigators said, but there was no information that anyone was harmed.

One document found on his computer was titled “Abducting and Cooking (Victim 1): A Blueprint,” according to the complaint. The file also had the woman’s birth date and other personal information and a list of “materials needed” — a car, chloroform and rope.

Forecasters warn East Coast about possible ‘Frankenstorm’ And if they meet Tuesday morning around New York or New Jersey, as forecasters predict, they could create a big wet mess that settles over the nation’s most heavily populated corridor and reaches as far inland as Ohio.

With experts expecting at least $1 billion in damage, the people who will have to clean it up aren’t waiting.

Utilities are lining up out-of-state work crews and canceling employees’ days off to deal with the power outages. From county

WASHINGTON (AP) — All the spare parts appear to be coming together to create what forecasters are calling “Frankenstorm,” a monster combination of high wind, heavy rain, extreme tides and maybe snow that could cause havoc along the East Coast just before Halloween next week.

Hurricane Sandy, having blown through Haiti and Cuba on Thursday, continues to barrel north. A wintry storm is chugging across from the West. And frigid air is streaming south from Canada.

disaster chiefs to the federal government, emergency officials are warning the public to be prepared. And President Barack Obama was briefed aboard Air Force One. “It’s looking like a very serious storm that could be historic,” said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the forecasting service Weather Underground. “Mother Nature is not saying ‘trick-or-treat.’ It’s just going to give tricks.”

Investigation of deadly plane crash on I-93 in Hookset just beginning HOOKSETT — Investigators were trying to decipher what happened in the hours leading up to a deadly plane crash on I-93 North on Thursday.

The plane took off from Boire Field, in Nashua and was en route to Laconia.

According to State Police Lt. Chris Wagner, the crash was reported at 1:10

p.m. and both occupants were dead on arrival. The deceased were 83-year-old Herman Hassinger and his wife, Doris Hassinger, 83, both of Block Island, Rhode Island.

The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed that single-engine beach craft was en route to Laconia. Wagner said that the preliminary investigation revealed that the plane was flying south over Inter-

state 93 when it is believed that the craft’s wing struck a steel light pole adjacent to the highway, causing it to nosedive.

The plane struck the pavement and crashed into the guardrail and came to a rest, Wagner said. It is unknown as to why the plane was flying so low as to hit the pole. The wreck, which had some pieces flung beyond the guardrail, was visible from the highway.

“We’re very fortunate that the plane didn’t ... strike any of the vehicles driving see PLANE CRASH page 11

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — In a stirring tribute Thursday to former Sen. George McGovern, Vice President Joe Biden hailed the one-time presidential nominee as the “father of the modern Democratic Party” for his forceful stand against the Vietnam

War and for helping open the party to more women, young people and minorities.

Biden’s 25-minute reflection capped a day of remembrance to the South Dakota icon, who carried his anti-war sentiment to his party’s nomination in a 1972 race he

would lose in a historic landslide to Republican President Richard Nixon.

Despite the loss, Biden said McGovern summoned public restlessness with the war and helped bring about its end before see McGOVERN page 13

Small towns told planning, patience & persistence key to economic prosperity

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

HOLDERNESS — Economic development requires planning, patience and persistence and an appreciation of where market forces are taking the economy.

That was the prescription delivered by business developers Rusty McLear of the Inns & Spa at Mill Falls, Meredith, Barry Gaw of Riveredge Marina in Ashland, George Bald, commissioner of the N.H. Department of Resources & Economic Development, and Walter Johnson, Holderness town administrator, to a large crowd which turned out for an economic development forum at the Holderness Town Hall Thursday morning.

The men about their experiences and answered questions at the forum after Plymouth State University President Sara Jayne Steen, keynote speaker, discussed the importance of public-private partnerships the university is involved in which help further its mission, which she said includes economic development as well as education and cultural enrichment.

She said the university is engaged in a number of programs designed to strengthen the area economy, including the Center for Rural Partnerships, which works in communities across northern New Hampshire to develop innovative solutions for North Country communities.

Steen said the Small Business Institute has helped develop business plans for 200 businesses in the area while providing real world learning experi-

was an outgrowth of the town’s efforts to redevelop itself. ‘’We’re a mill town that needs economic development,’’ said Branscombe, playfully noting that Ashland had broken off from Holderness 144 years ago and that today many in town wish it was known as West Holderness and sharing in the prosperity that PSU is bringing to that town.

LHS drama students’ new play was written by someone they know well, their teacher

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “Letters From My Father,” the next play to be produced by Laconia High School Theatre Arts, tells the story of an adult woman who is at a crisis in her life, both personally and professionfrom preceding page help guide future development. ‘’It is incumbent on smaller communities without a large planning infrastructure to develop a written business plan or a master plan,’’ said McLear, noting that the master plan developed by Meredith in 1982 ‘’became the guide for the project that I built at Mills Falls.’’

McLear also said that private-public partnerships are critical for successful development, citing his experience in Claremont where he and his partner Alex Ray were able to work with the city in order to develop downtown properties.

He said that Claremont’s leadership showed political will despite being faced with many naysayers and was able to complete $10 million in infrastructure projects which made his projects there possible and which, despite a slow economy, are doing better than projected.

Barry Gaw of Riveredge Marina in Ashland said that it is important for a community to align its regulatory agencies with end users in the market so that the development process becomes easy and understandable. ‘’With that kind of certainty developers know how to

ally, when she loses her father to Alzheimer’s. It’s a drama that poses unusually challenging emotional themes for the actors, who have had a steady diet of comedies and musicals for the past two years.

Director Bernie Campbell hopes the show is a success, partly because he’s the play’s author.

assess risk and can deal with it,’’ said Gaw, who said that his company is reworking a townhouse development in order to make it a better fit for the community and that eventually the project will constitute 22 percent of the assessed valuation of the town.

DRED Commissioner George Bald, who will retire later this month, said that patience is required in implementing an economic development plan, noting that it took 25 years before the state was able to acquire the Miters’ Ski Area and make it part of the state-owned Cannon Mountain Ski Area.

He said that it was important to develop and maintain good relationships between state agencies and private entities, such as the state’s utilities, which drew a rebuke from once audience member, Martha Richard’s, who was critical of Public Service Company of N.H. for the Northern Pass project.

Bald, who sits on the Site Review Committee which is considering the proposal, said he would not comment on the project. But he did say that it was important to maintain good relations with those who are key players in providing an infrastructure for economic development.

“Letters From My Father” will be produced Nov. 8, 9 and 10 at 7 p.m. each night. Rehearsals have been underway for more than a month, and Campbell said the experience has been both “exhilerating and terrifying.”

“It’s exhilerating to watch it come to life,” he said.

Laconia students have produced two of his one-act plays before, but this will be the first time he’s seen a full-length play of his own creation brought to the stage. “The kids are the real stars, it’s really fun to see them take characters I wrote and bring them to life,” he said.

“It’s also terrifying. What if no one likes it, what if it fails? I’ll feel like I’ve let the kids down by giving them a bum script.”

In the play, “Maggie,” played by junior Brittney Pond, returns home for the funeral of her father, played in flashbacks by senior Josh Rawson. With help from a childhood friend, played by sophomore Reese Miles, “Maggie” discovers a box of letters, addressed to her, that her father had written. Also featured in the cast are freshman Iisa Humphries, junior Dennis Zecevic, junior John Hammond, senior Gwen Huot, freshman Taylor Gagne and junior Zina LaBrie.

As Campbell explained, the germ for “Letters” began several years ago, as a four-paragraph response to a writing prompt sent to him by a friend.

He’s been developing the concept over the years, and finally found the right time to bring it to stage.

About the father in the play, he said, “How does someone who’s losing their memory convey things see LHS page 10

Voters see an alternative with presidential stature Back in May, I wrote a column laying out possible scenarios for the 2012 campaign different from the conventional wisdom that it would be a long, hard slog through a fixed list of target states like the race in 2004. I thought alternatives were possible because partisan preferences in the half dozen years before 2004 were very stable, while partisan preferences over the last half dozen years have been anything but.

Now, after Mitt Romney’s big victory in the Oct. 3 debate and his solid performances in the Oct. 16 and 22 debates, there is evidence that two of my alternative scenarios may be unfolding.

The list of target states has certainly not been fixed. Barack Obama’s campaign spent huge sums on anti-Romney ads to create a firewall in three states that the president won narrowly in 2008 — Florida, Ohio and Virginia. But post-debate polling shows Romney ahead in Florida and tied in Virginia.

National Journal’s Major Garrett reported last week that Obama strategist David Plouffe omitted Florida and Virginia in a list of key states but mentioned Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire and Nevada.

Obama carried the latter three by 10, 10 and 12 points in 2008.

So much for the firewall. In addition, polling shows Romney ahead in Colorado, which Obama carried by 9 points last time, and the race closing in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan, which Obama carried by 14, 10 and 16 points.

That tends to validate my alternative scenario that Mitt Romney would fare much better in affluent suburbs than Republican nominees since 1992, running more like George Bush did in 1988. The only way Pennsylvania and Michigan can be close is if Obama’s support in affluent Philadelphia and Detroit suburbs has melted away.

This also helps explain why Romney still narrowly trails in Ohio polls. Affluent suburban counties cast about one-quarter of the votes in Pennsylvania and Michigan but only one-eighth in Ohio.

A pro-Romney affluent swing is confirmed by the internals of some national polls. The 2008 exit poll showed Obama narrowly carrying voters with incomes over $75,000.

Post-debate Pew Research and Battleground polls have shown affluent suburbanite Romney carrying them by statistically significant margins.

In particular, college-educated women seem to have swung toward Romney since Oct. He surely had them in mind in the foreign policy debate when he kept emphasizing

his hopes for peace and pledged no more wars like Iraq and Afghanistan.

My other alternative scenario was based on the 1980 election, when vast numbers of voters switched from Jimmy Carter to Ronald Reagan after their single debate one week before the election. In that debate, the challenger showed he had presidential stature and the incumbent president seemed petulant and small-minded.

We saw an even more vivid contrast between challenger and incumbent in the Oct. 3 debate. In the next two debates, Obama was definitely more focused and aggressive. But Romney held his own, and post-Oct. 16 polling showed him improving his standing even though many debate watchers thought Obama won on points.

What we may be seeing, as we drink from the fire hose of multiple poll results pouring in, is a slow motion 1980.

The Gallup tracking poll, whose procedure for designating likely voters makes it very susceptible to shifts in the balance of enthusiasm, has been showing Romney ahead by 5 to 7 points. That suggests that since the Oct. 3 debate Republicans have been consistently more motivated to vote than at least temporarily disheartened Democrats.

That’s a factor to keep in mind while assessing polls in old or new target states. Some have samples more Democratic in party identification than in the exit poll in 2008, when Democrats were enthused and Republicans downcast.

The usual caveats are in order.

Exogenous events could affect opinion (Libya seems to have hurt Obama). The Obama ground game is formidable. Voters that switched to Romney could switch back again.

And if there is a larger reservoir of potentially changeable voters than in 2004, there was an even larger reservoir back in 1980, when Carter attracted white Southerners who now are firmly in Romney’s column.

Mechanical analogies can be misleading. Just because Romney has gained ground since Oct. 3 does not guarantee that he will gain more.

But also keep in mind that Romney gained not just from style but from fundamentals. Most voters dislike Obama’s domestic policies and are dissatisfied with the sluggish economy. And now they seem to believe they have an alternative with presidential stature.

LETTERS Stewart part of narrow minded bunch who don’t care what voter’s want To the editor, Beware Gilford! We have a sniper in town! He’s in the form of Mr. Terry Stewart, who, evidently, was hired by some folks from one of our political parties to snipe a story relative to the upcoming election. It’s really too bad that this can happen — especially when he has not been present at any meetings in Gilford for years. Since he’s not around, he must get his news from, guess who, the folks that hired him to be that sniper. And, Mr. Stewart is the same past Budget Committee member that was not in attendance for a specific discussion but barged in at the end and voted for his position only and, evidently, thought he knew better than the voters. It’s also a shame that the folks involved are that concerned about a loss that they have to hire a sniper. Actually, it’s very much like the national election process as when you don’t have anything to run on, attack your opponent!

While I firmly believe in free speech, it’s shameful that Mr. Stewart can make so many erroneous statements.

Making up stories about voting records is amazing — especially without the facts. Where Mr. Stewart and Mr. Leandro “found out” that I switched from being a registered Democrat is especially troubling — I thought our voting procedures were confidential!

But, as in the rest of his snipes, Mr. Stewart, and whoever gave him that incorrect information, got that wrong as well. I’ve been a registered Independent for over 40 years and plan to vote as an independent as I don’t want to be aligned with the extremist/ polarizing positions set forth by these two gentlemen. My job, as an elected official, is to represent the voters of

my town and vote as their representative! It has been, and is my intention, to listen to the voters and keep our town services at an expected level while keeping our spending levels down creating a flat budget — as I have done during my entire time as a selectman.

However, interestingly enough, Mr. Stewart has made several of my points for me. It sounds like he would like to be a “one note Charlie” and stick to a losing agenda of several narrow minded residents of Gilford that have one direction and don’t really care what the voters want. In a recent election, these folks had several items and people on the ballot and lost just about all of their positions and people. Evidently, they did not “stick their finger in the wind”, as they were soundly defeated by the voters of Gilford that want a safe and prosperous town. Not one of them even registered to run for the opening on the Board of Selectman where I won a second term with about 90 percent of the votes.

So, as I mentioned, look out for our town sniper as he takes pot shots from afar and spins facts and positions.

Watch as Mr. Stewart makes up information and expects the people of Gilford to buy into these “positions”. Sir, if you can’t personally make meetings in the town and have to get information, some that may be illegal, please stop making up stories. If you psychologically have a need to be involved, get personally involved and stop sniping from your hotel room in some far off city.

I’m an independent thinking conservative, listening to the voters of Gilford.

Rep. Harry Accornero listens to us because he is one of us To the editor, Just a quick “note” to help share my own view and opinion with my neighbors, friends and other citizens about the value we have in one of our state representatives, Harry Accornero of Laconia who is running for re-election.

Harry CARES about the people & services in THIS community! Why shouldn’t he? He IS one of us! He listens & stands FOR us and with us. I encourage you to vote for his re-election on November 6th.

LETTERS Forrester keeps taking credit for forums at which she was a guest

A shame Vet Emergency Clinic has been forced to close its doors

To the editor, Here we go again! In Don Jutton’s letter in The Sun, October 24th, he mentions that Jeanie Forrester is hosting an economic development forum today in Grafton County. That is what she would like people to believe, but it is simply not the case.

Like so many other public events that Jeanie has tried to take credit for, this forum was scheduled by the participants; N.H. Department of Resources and Economic Development and the Town of Holderness among them. She will not be on the panel or speaking to the audience, she simply got an invitation to attend like other candidates running for office.

Does Jeanie not understand that being invited to attend or be a participant in an event does not mean you get to act as if it’s your party? Jeanie has done the same thing numerous times over the past few months and it’s getting pretty obvious why. Recently in the paper, Jeanie announced to her constituents that she would be speaking at public forums at the Lakes Region Partnership for Public Health, the Belknap County Economic Development Council and the NH Timber Owners Association: again, all invitations she has received, but nothing she had the slightest role in planning or organizing.

What Jeanie fails to mention in

To the editor, This communiqué goes out to all the people who live and work in the Lakes Region. It is with great sadness that I inform you of the demise of an organization that has been of great service to all the surrounding towns here in Central N.H..

The Winnipesauke Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Meredith has been forced to close it’s doors do to the economy and the unwillingness of the banking system to work with those in desperate need. This group of doctors and technicians has for several years worked tirelessly to provide the pinnacle of veterinary service not just to the loving pet owner, but also with many police, military and special needs programs as well. Before WVEC became a part of the Lakes Region community the only emergency vet services avail-

all her glowing descriptions of these events is that all the other candidates for public office have been invited too!

That is a huge distinction between the impression she is attempting to pull off that she is the organizer and the main attraction at these forums.

I find it amazing that anyone, especially a state senator, would continually take credit for events that they have nothing to do with, other than attending. This has happened repeatedly with Jeanie Forrester, whether it is her ad saying, “join me” at the forum hosted by the builders recently in Meredith or the Voter ID information sessions held in various towns by the Secretary of State. She is misrepresenting the job she is doing and giving the impression, as Don Jutton states, of “investing her time doing something,” when she is merely attending an event that someone else has spent the time, energy, and manpower to plan, schedule, and host.

Senate District 2 voters deserve a more forth-right candidate willing to take questions in a public forum shared by her opponent. One can not help wonder what Senator Forrester is afraid of having to acknowledge to her constituents regarding her voting record these past two years.

We need county commissioner who puts needs ahead of wants To the editor, I agree that Ed Philpot is a good guy.

However, as a school board member he never met a tax increase he could not embrace. As a county commissioner, he has assumed a leadership role which usually ends up costing the taxpayers money that we do not have. I am looking for a county commissioner who will put needs ahead of wants, who has real life experience in running a business, dealing with many employees, government regulations, and has felt the pain of this uncertain economy for several years.

David DeVoy from Sanbornton is that person. He and his wife have a bond with the county. They own a

home, they have three locations for their business within Belknap County — employing people and paying taxes!

I have found Dave to be one of the good guys.

David DeVoy has served four years on active duty and almost 26 years in the reserve components. He is people friendly, and will work hard for the people of Belknap County. On Nov. 6, let’s begin to bring some fiscal sanity, and business experience to Belknap County.

Please join me and many residents from Laconia, Sanbornton, and New Hampton who are supporting Dave DeVoy. Niel Young Laconia

It’s nonsense to think the family is building block of our society?

To the editor, I would like to thank Nate and Betty Ann Abbott for introducing me to your readers in their letter to the editor as a candidate for House District 5. They are correct in stating that I am conservative and in favor of small government, and fiscal responsibility, that I am pro-family and pro-life. I’m glad to know that they are aware of my position, in spite of the fact that we’ve never met or spoken.

I’m a bit confused as to why they think these positions are nonsense. It is my understanding that the framers of our country intended for government to be small and non intrusive in people’s freedoms. And the mere fact that the United States credit R=rating has been down graded twice now tells

me that I am not the only one who is concerned about the governments fiscal irresponsibility. As for being profamily, I do favor and encourage traditional family structures and values.

The family is the basic building block of society. Without families who give birth to children and nurture and raise those children our society will cease to exist. And since when is it nonsense to act in defense of those who cannot defend themselves? I believe it is honorable to defend a friend or loved one in a coma, autistic children, the mentally challenged, abused animals and yes even unborn children.

I would agree with Nate and Betty Ann, lets be careful about whom we elect!

Stephen Holmes Alton

able were in Concord or Portsmouth.

Both are highly qualified but, it is a very long drive when minutes may mean the survival of your beloved pet.

On a personal level, we have become very close to the staff at WVEC. This team of devoted, caring people have given us many, many more years to enjoy with our four legged family members. If we here in Central N.H. ever get the opportunity to have another service like this in this area I would strongly urge all in need of emergency medical care for your non-human family members to please, please support it.

To Dr. Jonna Fulton and all your staff we extend our love, prayers and thanks for enriching not just our pets lives but ours as well. You all will be deeply missed.

Simard laying low, hoping Republicans will sweep him into office To the editor, The GOP’s anticipating a landslide rejection of the president and his party on November 6th. Republicans are campaigning in earnest.

But Paul Simard, candidate for state representative from Grafton county, is laying low, hoping that he’ll be swept into office with all the other folks with an “R” after their name.

We’ve heard of “log cabin” and “rock-ribbed” Republicans, but Mr. Simard represents a particular brand of do-nothing politician. Maybe Mr. Simard’s “R” means he “rides” the coattails of others.

I’ll bet that, just like 2010, he’s figuring that after voting for president, governor and congressional representatives, loyal Republicans will just keep on picking GOP candidates.

One thing’s for sure: you won’t see

Mr. Simard campaigning vigorously on his record of success. It takes longer to snap two fingers than it does to recount his accomplishments. Take it from the voters of Bristol, who know him best; after 13 years on the Budget Committee, culminating in his rise to the vicechairmanship, his hometown voters sent him packing at the first opportunity. Their disapproval of Simard’s leadership on the Budget Committee was unambiguous. Among a numerous field, he was runner-up to dead last.

I urge conservative, independent minded people to reflect on what Mr. Simard’s done (or hasn’t done) with our trust over the last two years, and vote accordingly.

It’s time for the “R” after Paul Simard’s name to stand for “rejected.”

Ruth Gulick is prepared to be an effective lawmaker in Concord To the editor, I urge voters in New Hampton and Center Harbor to vote for Ruth Gulick for State Representative on November 6.

She is running as a Democrat, but is not a “hard liner.” She will listen to other points of view and vote for a reasonable compromise. She is a

retired lawyer, and will come to the House already familiar with points of law that will enable her to be an effective legislator. Once elected, she will be available to listen to your concerns, and act on them.

LETTERS This is last chance to save our wonderful country; vote from heart

Adult mentors needed to form relationships with LMS students

To the editor, How in good conscience can any American possibly consider voting for Barack Obama or feel sorry for him?

Have all our forefathers who died for our freedom died in vain? Are you so sure about this man and who he really is, where he came from, his parents, his mentors, his friends, his religious beliefs, his actions and job performance as president? Once elected and before being sworn into office Obama said: “You will know who I am by the people I surround myself with”. Are you sure what road he wants to take this country down? Is it a road that will celebrate our constitutional freedoms or is it a road that takes away our liberty, ignores the Constitution and will enslave us. Like VP, Joe Biden said: “Put us all back in chains”.

Are you really that positive? Do your homework before you vote... this country, with four more years of Barack O’Bama and his administration, will never, never be the same!

For instance, did you know about the “voting machines” made in Barcelona, Spain, manufactured by a company called Seytl? Guess who owns this company... billionaire, George Soros, a huge contributor to Obama’s campaign, who has used his immense influence to help reconfigure the political landscapes of several countries around the world, in some cases, top-

To the editor, The Mentoring Together Program at Laconia Middle School began with a community initiative through Better Together. A Citizen Advisory Council was developed, and a mission and vision statement was created. The commitment to get this program off the page and into practice came from the leadership of Sandy McLaughlin, she helped establish the first year of Mentoring Together, during the 2011 2012 school year. Mentoring Together united 11 mentors and mentees.

Our goal was to jump start the program in late October. This will allow all interested parents and mentors to complete the required steps. If you are interested in becoming a mentor, you may complete an application on line or stop into the office at SAU#30, 39 Harvard St. Laconia. If you have any questions contact me at Laconia Middle School. Mentors are positive role models that offer friendship and support to the mentees academically and socially. They will commit to meet one hour each week and maintain that commitment for a full year at the school.

This year I will be serving as the Mentoring Coordinator to oversee the program. Mentoring Together at Laconia Middle School will be kicking off their second year officially on October 23, in collaboration with the Laconia

pling regimes that had held the reins of government for years, even decades.

Did you also know that with “ObamaCare” your mother, father, grandparent had a stroke/brain bleed and are over 70 yrs old and on government supported health care (Medicare) and you visited an emergency room, you only get “Comfort Care” — in other words, a death sentence. NO advanced neurosurgical care has been issued by HHS. Those ethics panels? NOT one single doctor or medical person is on this panel; they are making your life and death decisions.

Obama is throwing our seniors under the bus to cut costs. Many doctors are considering getting out of the medical field because of the cut to their fees for Medicare patients. Want FREE health care? Great, good luck finding a doctor who will be there to serve you. Some of you have Canadian relatives, call them and ask them before you cast you vote for this guy. . . try waiting months with a painful condition that will more than likely get worse or spread . . . ask why do Canadian Doctors come here?

NO JOKE. . . do your HOMEWORK before you VOTE. This is a “LAST CHANCE” to save this beautiful country which right now belongs to US, “We the people”. DON’T VOTE PARTY, VOTE WITH YOUR HEART for the sake of future generations!

Youssef can get government out of the way of business growth To the editor, This November 6, many of us will go to the polls to decide who is the best choice to represent us. In State Senate District 7, the best choice by far is Josh Youssef.

Josh was born and raised in Laconia, and started his own business here in 2003. Since then, his company has grown to a state-wide operation

which promotes entrepreneurship and creates jobs. He has the private sector expertise and know-how to get the government out of the way and encourage business growth, which leads to a profitable economy. I hope you will join me in voting Josh Youssef for N.H. Senate on November 6th.

I’m largely a character voter & Andrew Hosmer fits the bill To the editor, This letter is not addressed to people who vote ideologically either on the left or right. This letter is written in the belief that the majority of people are open to honest dialogue and will approach problems looking for practical non-ideological solutions and vote for practical and nonideological candidates.

Andrew Hosmer is running for State Senate in District 7, seeking to represent Laconia and nine area communities. I have known Andrew for several years. Despite all the extreme rhetoric of political campaigns, Andrew is that most prized of candidates, a genuine moderate, a good man, a person of integrity, what you see is what you get.

No surprises. He is a gentleman. He

treats others with respect. He is very bright and an effective businessman.

He is a good family man. He possesses the character traits of decency, honesty and common sense that most of us desire in our elected officials, irrespective of party affiliation. Andrew has lived his life well. He understands the meaning of treating other fairly.

Andrew and I do not agree on every issue, but I am not a single issue voter.

I am largely a character voter. Andrew passes the character test with flying colors. I trust his judgment.

Andrew Hosmer would be an effective state senator. Please consider voting for him.

Philip T. McLaughlin Laconia

Great manufacturing companies will be drawn by Right to Work To the editor, While New Hampshire under a Democratic governor and Republican Legislature has given us a 5.7 unemployment rate, the fact is that a Democratic governor/Legislator will not cure what it is that will bring real good JOBS to our state, so that our children do no have to leave to earn a descent living — that is we do need to become a Right To Work state.

To attract companies like Boeing and Caterpillar, who just found new homes, we must elect as many Right To Work candidates as possible, plus a Republican governor, so that the legislation will not be vetoed, like Governor Lynch did.

By vetoing the Right To Work law, Governor Lynch satisfied the union bosses, but left our children no option but to leave our state to seek good manufacturing jobs.

You might recall that the unions

istration, that our government sued Boeing for building a factory, in the United Sates of America, since it was built in a Right To Work state.

New Hampshire has it all for major manufacturing employers to move here, a deep water port, Pease Trade Center, Manchester Airport, great worker ethics (that’s why we have the low unemployment rate) no sales tax and a great place to bring up children.

However, number one to keep our children here by attracting great manufacturing companies is to adopting the Right To Work.

There is no Democrat, that I know of, who will support this, so take that into consideration when voting.

New Hampshire doesn’t get on the short list of possible places to create JOBS, without it and that is sad!

LETTERS Kevin Leandro will protect your money, your freedom & your future

I’m a Republican who will vote for Andrew Hosmer for State Senate

To the editor, I am looking forward to the election on November 6. Not only for the presidential aspect but also for Gilford. This election year Gilford is combined with Meredith for four representatives to the Legislature. While Gilford has one Republican running, Meredith has three. A candidate whom I will be supporting to represent Gilford and Meredith is Kevin Leandro. Kevin serves on the Gilford Budget Committee and as many of us know, works diligently to assure taxpayers their money is spent wisely. Kevin’s common sense approach of accountability in town government will be an asset when serving in the legislature. He has a keen interest in making certain the state fulfills its obligation to funding education and of equal importance, its commitment to the handicap and disabled.

He also advocates for lowering business taxes in an effort to retain existing

To the editor, I’ve voted Republican in every election and I plan to vote for Mitt Romney in the upcoming presidential election. However, I will cast my vote for Democrat Andrew Hosmer for State Senate in District 7.

As a Republican I understand that it takes money to run an effective and influential campaign. I will vote for Andrew because he has gained the endorsements of long standing Republican leaning organizations. He has been endorsed by The National Federation of Independent Business. The Business and Industry Association, New Hampshire Association of Realtors, Home Builders and Remodelers Association and The Association of General Contractors have all supported his candidacy. These endorsements are

businesses and attracting new ones. Furthermore, he sees a need in developing a comprehensive plan for new energy resources and looks forward to working with the state’s transportation and energy bureau, in developing long-range goals.

These are not new ideas but merely fresh ideas. Ideas that will move N.H. forward!

On November 6th, do not let fear and emotion overcome logic. Let us vision a sound and stable economic environment for the state and vote for Kevin and the three Republicans from Meredith. Remember, the Democrats running for the same office have no vision for the future but more of the same they left us with three years ago — higher fees more taxes and hundreds of millions in deficit spending.

In my opinion, Kevin will protect your Money, your Freedom and the Economic Future of your Families.

George Hurt Gilford

Cast one of your 4 votes for independent candidate John O’Brien To the editor, John T. O’Brien is running as an INDEPENDENT candidate for State Representative in order to represent the Gilford-Meredith area. John believes that as an INDEPENDENT candidate, with no bias towards either Democrats or Republicans, he will be able to use his strong leadership skills to bring both sides together on various issues.

Considering the tight budget constraints that New Hampshire goes through yearly, John will brings a strong business background to the table. He served for 30 years in upper management at the 3M Company. After an early retirement, John decided to re-enter the workforce and became general manager for a twentyseven dentist, 150 plus employee, five location dental practice.

John served two terms as vice chairman of the Budget Committee and is into his second term on the Board of

Selectman. He has served the community on a number of boards and committees including the Belknap County Economic Development Council and the Laconia Airport Authority. He is also a trustee for the Gunstock Acres Common Property Trust.

We have known John and his wife Brenda for many years. John is an honest straightforward, no-nonsense individual who can be trusted with your vote. He will do an excellent job of representing the voice and will of his constituents.

On November 6th, election day, you will be asked to vote for four candidates for State Representative to represent the Meredith-Gilford area. We ask that you consider casting ONE of your four votes for John T. O’Brien, INDEPENDENT candidate for State Representative.

Richard & Ann Montminy Gilford

indicative of Andrew’s ability to reach across the aisle and work with diverse groups. In this politically divisive environment it’s important we send leaders to Concord that will reach out to solve the issues that face our communities and our state.

I have witnessed how Andrew operates his businesses and political campaign with fiscal responsibility ensuring maximum return on investment. I, for one, like to know my investments will yield a positive return. I believe a vote for Andrew Hosmer is not only a winning investment but a wise investment for our communities and for New Hampshire’s future.

I beg & plead with pregnant mothers, please don’t kill your babies To the editor, A woman’s choice to become pregnant or not is clear enough. Pregnancy is a personal choice, and the way to get pregnant or prevent pregnancy is well known.

But once a woman is pregnant, she has a baby living in her womb, a child. Why doesn’t the pro-choice movement realize that pregnancy equals a baby? Why do pro-choicers advocate giving a woman the choice to end a pregnancy with death, the murder of the baby?

In no other case does anyone have freedom to choose murder. Killing an unhappy spouse is against the law.

One can’t simply murder a problem parent. Murder is wrong and evil in every case and situation, even in the case of an innocent, unborn baby.

To abort an infant in the womb is to kill it. I beg and plead with pregnant moms, don’t kill your babies.

Harry Mitchell Laconia

Let’s put someone forward thinking in that seat — Beth Arsenault To the editor, It may have to be Independents in Belknap County House District 9 who establish this new seat, split between Laconia and Belmont, as one grounded in traditional common sense. Beth Arsenault is the Democrat on the ballot, while Harry Accornero is the Republican. Arsenault wants restoration of those radical cuts made to our university and community college systems, and our hospitals. Accornero favors budget cuts, looser gun laws, restrictions on women’s reproductive freedom, repeal of gay marriage.

Clearly, here is an opportunity to give a Statehouse seat to someone forward-looking, by voting for Beth Arsenault.

New Hampshire also has an advantage if it can be hospitable, another word for livable! For that, also vote for Bob Lamb, Rich Leonard, and Andrew Hosmer in Senate Districts 2, 6, and 7, Belknap County voters! For someone who will walk the middle road, at the top of the state ticket choose Maggie Hassan.

FRANKENSTORM from page 2 Administration forecaster Jim Cisco, who coined the nickname Frankenstorm, said: “We don’t have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting.”

Government forecasters said there is a 90 percent chance — up from 60 percent two days earlier — that the East will get pounded starting Sunday and stretching past Halloween on Wednesday. Things are expected to get messier once Sandy, a very late hurricane in what has been a remarkably quiet season, comes ashore, probably in New Jersey.

Coastal areas from Florida to Maine will feel some effects, but the storm is expected to vent the worst of its fury on New Jersey and the New York City area, which could see around 5 inches of rain and galeforce winds close to 40 mph. Eastern Ohio, southwestern Pennsylvania, western Virginia and the HASSINGER from page one dent of the American Institute of Architects and the Block Island Historic District.

Nashua Airport Authority Trustee Chair and former Mayor Don Davidson told the Nashua Telegram that Hassinger often maintained his plane in Nashua. Two years ago, said Davidson, Hassinger noticed a problem with his landing gear while approaching the airport on Block Island and diverted the plane to Nashua when he “bellied” on to Boire Field, skidding about 700 feet before stopping.

Davidson told the Telegraph that he thought Hassinger must have had some kind of mechanical failure because he was flying so low. He said he thought he may have been trying to land on the Interstate, which is common in the western part of the country.

Neither he and his wife were seriously injured in the 2010 landing.

Shenandoah Mountains could get snow.

And the storm will take its time leaving. The weather may not start clearing in the mid-Atlantic until the day after Halloween and Nov. 2 in the upper Northeast, Cisco said.

“It’s almost a weeklong, five-day, six-day event,” he said from a NOAA forecast center in College Park, Md. “It’s going to be a widespread, serious storm.”

It is likely to hit during a full moon, when tides are near their highest, increasing the risk of coastal flooding. And because many trees still have their leaves, they are more likely to topple in the event of wind and snow, meaning there could be widespread power outages lasting to Election Day. Eastern states that saw blackouts that lasted for days after last year’s freak Halloween snowstorm and Hurricane Irene in late August 2011 are already pressuring power companies to be more ready this time.

Asked if he expected utilities to be more prepared, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick responded: “They’d better be.”

Jersey Central Power & Light, which was criticized for its response to Irene, notified employees to be ready for extended shifts. In Pennsylvania, PPL Corp. spokesman Michael Wood said, “We’re in a much better place this year.”

Some have compared the tempest to the so-called Perfect Storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, but that one didn’t hit as populated an area. Nor is this one like last year’s Halloween storm, which was merely an early snowfall.

“The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I’m thinking a billion,” Masters said.

“Yeah, it will be worse.”

As it made its way across the Caribbean, Sandy was blamed for at least four deaths in Haiti and Jamaica.

PLAY from page 5 that they want to be remembered? They write it down.” And the daughter, “Maggie,” “She’s lost her anchor and she’s looking, she’s seeking. She finds answers in the letters, and in ‘David’.”

Despite the weight of the subject matter, Campbell said the play has its lighter moments and ends on an uplifting note. He’s found the play to be an opportunity for his actors to show their breadth of talent, that they can breathe life to a drama as well as a musical or comedy.

“I can’t say enough about the kids, they’re working really hard,” said Campbell. Many of the actors are able to relate to the subject matter due to events in

their personal lives, said Campbell, and they bring an emotional charge to their characters. “That really gives a punch to their performance.”

How does he think the production is developing?

“I’m pleased, I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ll panic next week.”

Tickets for the performance, which will be sold at the door, cost $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Campbell advised audience members to arrive a few minutes early, as the construction project at the high school has complicated parking. “It’s our biggest worry that people will stay away because of the lack of parking. Please don’t. Just plan for some extra time to find a space,” said Campbell.

Killed in the crash were Herman and Doris Hassinger of Rhode Island, who were on their way to New Hampton for a meeting of the Board of Trustees of New Hampton School.

PLANE CRASH from page one on the road at that time,” he said.

Wagner, of Troop B, noted that I-93 is a busy highway and in his 18 years on the force, he has never dealt with an airplane crashing on a major route.

According to Wagner, Herman Hassinger was ejected from the plane andhis body was found approximately 20 to 30 yards from the craft. Doris Hassinger was still inside the cockpit when police and emergency personnel arrived. Wagner couldn’t confirm who was flying the craft as of late Thursday afternoon.

“We’re going to do an in-depth study into the time prior to their departure and we’ll dig into the past to really figure out what happened here,” he said.

In addition to state police, their accident reconstruction team and Hooksett firefighters, FAA and Bureau of Aeronautic officials were on-site investigating. Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board were en route early Thursday evening. The FBI also showed up and were only on scene for a brief time before leaving. Wager said it was standard protocol that the FBI joined the scene.

After police removed the blue tarp

covering the plane some time after 4 p.m., the grey craft sporting red and black stripes running along its length, was facing west. The nose was smashed into the guardrail and the passenger door was ripped off. The corresponding seat was leaning forward, as the front part on the plane was bent at less than a 90-degree angle. Throughout the afternoon, police scoured the small wooded area at the bottom of the culvert beyond the crash site to look for debris and other evidence.

The state Department of Transportation was working with the FAA to remove the aircraft from the shoulder of the highway early Thursday evening. A tow crew was on-site trying to figure out the best way to move the plane and transport it to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport where it would be stored in a hanger.

“They’re removing a portion of the guardrail so we can keep the aircraft intact as much as possible as to not compromise the investigation,” Wagner said.

He noted that part of the fuselage and engine were trapped underneath the guardrail, and added that signifisee next page

PLOT from page 2 as long as possible,” Valle allegedly wrote in one exchange in July, the complaint says.

In other online conversations, investigators said, Valle talked about the mechanics of fitting the woman’s body into an oven (her legs would have to be bent), said he could make chloroform at home to knock a woman out and discussed how “tasty” one woman looked.

“Her days are numbered,” he wrote, according to the complaint.

The woman told the FBI she knew Valle and met him for lunch in July, but that’s as far as it went.

The officer’s estranged wife had alerted New York authorities to his chilling online activity, triggering the investigation that led to his arrest by the FBI from preceding page cant damage had been done to the plane. Wagner said the right front wing had been removed, the engine area was exposed and the propeller had come off. Plane and flight parts were also in the area of the crash.

The left two northbound lanes of I-93 were shut down while police and aviation officials investigated the scene Thursday afternoon and into the evening.

Wagner said traffic was backed up only for a brief period of time immediately after the crash.

The lieutenant noted that one witness had come forward to provide information to police to assist in their investigation. He said he wasn’t releasing the name of the witness.

“It is official information that will help us narrow down what happened,” Wagner said.

Updates will be reported after additional information is released.

on Wednesday, a law enforcement official said. The official was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing case and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

Valle, 28, was to appear in federal court in Manhattan on Thursday afternoon to face charges of kidnapping conspiracy and unauthorized use of law enforcement records. The name of his attorney was not immediately available, and no one answered the door to his home in a quiet, middle-class Queens neighborhood.

A search of Valle’s computer found he had created records of at least 100 women with their names, addresses and photos, the complaint says. Some of the information came from his unauthorized use of a law enforcement database, authorities said. He claimed, according to the complaint, that he knew many of them.

“The allegations in the complaint really need no

description from us,” said Mary E. Galligan, acting head of the FBI’s New York office. “They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle’s own words and actions were shocking.”

There was no immediate response to a message left with the NYPD on Thursday.

The complaint alleges that in February, Valle negotiated to kidnap another woman — Victim 2 — for someone else, writing, “$5,000 and she’s all yours.”

He told the buyer he was aspiring to be a professional kidnapper, authorities said.

“I think I would rather not get involved in the rape,” according to the complaint. “You paid for her.

She is all yours, and I don’t want to be tempted the next time I abduct a girl.”

It says he added: “I will really get off on knocking her out, tying up her hands and bare feet and gagging her. Then she will be stuffed into a large piece of luggage and wheeled out to my van.”

Captain William Clary, said that three men were in the residence when the four men, who were all known to them, forced their way into the home. One of the victims suffered injuries to his face and head, allegedly at the hand of Ford.

The first officer to reach the address was able to detain a car seeking to leave the scene. Clary said that police obtained a search warrant for the vehicle, which would be searched for items allegedly taken from the residence.

Luther lauds team behind ‘Register of the Year’ award

By Michael Kitch LACONIA — Barbara Luther, the Belknap County Register of Deeds, was named “Register of the Year” by the New Hampshire Association of Counties at its annual conference held in North Conway last week.

“I want to share this award with my staff,” Luther said yesterday. “I could not do what I do without them. We are a team. They stand beside me. We take out coffee breaks together,” she continued, “and solve solve the world’s problems. We’ve gotten each other through some real crises.”

Luther joined the Registry in 1985. In 2008, following the retirement of Rachel Normandin, who spent the last 18 of her 38 years at the Registry as the Register, Luther was chosen by the Belknap County Convention to complete her term. In November Luther was elected to the first of her two terms as Register.

In 1985, the Register was Bill Wheeler, who became the last man to hold the position when he retired in 1990. “We had a summer intern once and

he integrated just fine. It was a fun experience for all of us,* Luther recalled.,”Occasionally someone will come in and ask ‘are there any men working here?’” she said. “We tell them that ‘we ladies can handle everything just fine, thank you very much.’”

Luther pointed out that the revenue collected by the Registry pays the operating budget of the office, which this year is $175,000, and returns money to the county general fund, $455,000 so far this year.

She said that while there has been a small increase in the number of transactions recorded by Registry, the flow of revenue has not kept pace because property values remain relatively low. In a robust market, when sales volume and property value are high, annual revenue tops $1 million.

Luther said that technology marks the most significant change in the operation of the Registry.

“Documents are on-line within 15 minutes of being filed at the counter,” she said. “We scan everything right away and update every 15 minutes. We have a great vendor.”

McGOVERN from page 2 “so much more blood and so much more treasure would have been wasted.”

“The war would never have ended when it did. It would never have ended how it did,” Biden said, his voice rising as he turned his body toward McGovern’s daughters. “Your father gave courage to people who didn’t have the courage to speak up to finally stand up. Your father stood there and took all of that beating.”

A larger funeral service for McGovern, who died Sunday at age 90, is set for Friday.

The Thursday evening ceremony featured heartfelt tributes by McGovern family members, longtime

friends and political loyalists. The crowd of hundreds sat hushed as snippets of McGovern’s acceptance speech from the 1972 Democratic National Convention crackled on a church loudspeaker. “We are entering a new period of important and hopeful change in America,” came the echo from the past.

Mourners from near and far spent the afternoon filing past a flag-draped coffin, many drawing attention to his lifelong efforts to fight global hunger.

Biden, who served in the Senate with McGovern in the 1970s, led a cast of dignitaries. But many of those who showed up early at the First United Methodist Church were friends, neighbors, constituents or admirers of McGovern.

Laconia Rotary Club members Keith Hall (left) and John Moriarty speak with candidate for governor Ovide Lamontagne of Manchester following the Republicans talk at the Belknap Mill in Laconia on Thursday. (Alan MacRae/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

Lamontagne tells Laconia Rotarians he will be an nonpartisan governor of his native state

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — “I will check my party label at the Statehouse door,” declared Ovide Lamontagne, Republican candidate for governor speaking to the Rotary Club yesterday at the Belknap Mill. “Partisanship has no place in the governor’s office in New Hampshire.”

This is Lamontagne’s fourth bid for high office. In 1992, fresh from a stint as legal counsel to the state Senate, he sought the Republican nomination in the 1st Congressional District as a champion of a balanced budget, but lost to Bill Zeliff. Four years later, running as a social conservative, he upset Zeliff to win the GOP gubernatorial primary, but trailed Democrat Jeanne Shaheen by 17 points in the general election. In the Republican primary for the

United States State in 2010, he drew support from the Tea Party movement to overcome being outspent by a factor of five and finished within some 1,600 votes of Kelly Ayotte, the winner in the field of four.

With the wind from his close-run Senate race at his back and his conservative credentials above reproach, the Manchester attorney has made renewing economic growth the overriding theme of his second bid for the governorship. “I’m not running on the social issues,” he insisted. “The governor of New Hampshire can’t do anything about Roe v. Wade.”

To the Rotarians he touted his experience in the business world, which includes serving as chairman of the board at St. Mary’s Bank of Manchester, general counsel to Catholic Medical Center and shareholder of Devine, Millimet & Branch, one of the see next page

Selectmen asking for $350k in repairs to Gilford Town Hall GILFORD — Selectmen have approved a warrant article that will ask voters to authorize $350,000 for some repairs to the Town Hall.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said Tuesday the money will come from the $4 million surplus fund balance (rainy day fund) and would not directly effect the amount of money the town needs to raise through taxes in 2013.

“This project would fix the roof and fix the heat loss through the roof,” said Dunn.

Like the fire station, Gilford Town Hall has had some issues with ice damming and leaks.

He said the money would re-insulate the building,

fix the drainage around the building, and replace the sidewalks that will be ripped up to fix the drainage.

Dunn said the project would not include the expansion of the Police Department and would not repair or replace the climate controls throughout the building — two projects he said will need to be addressed in the future.

He said the town has some rough architectural plans but no building specifications are done.

He said the $350,000 will appear as a separate warrant article at the annual Town Meeting and needs a simple majority to pass because no longterm debt in involved.

Concern over electrical odor closes Belmont Mill for the day

BELMONT — Fire officials closed the Belmont Mill for the day yesterday morning after detecting a strong electrical odor throughout the bottom two floors.

Fire Chief David Parenti said just after firefighters reached the mill an alarm also sounded at the nearby St. Joseph’s Church.

Parenti said Public Service of New Hampshire “dropped a leg” and both buildings had lost half of their power. He said full power returned while firefighters were there but didn’t know if the power failure and the two alarms were related.

Parenti said they didn’t find any fire or smoke but, because of the strong odor, he closed the building for the remainder of the day while a electrician and representatives from PSNH investigated.

Parenti said there is a daycare center, the Belmont Senior Center, the culinary arts program from the Lakes Region Community College and doctors’ offices in the mill.

He said he expected the mill to completely reopen today.

Giants use small ball to win 2-0 &take 2 game series lead

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Long ball one night, a Giant dose of small ball the next.

Two wins in two games and suddenly San Francisco doesn’t need to dig itself out of a postseason hole for a change.

Madison Bumgarner shut down the Detroit Tigers for seven innings, then the Giants took advantage of a bunt that stayed fair to eke out the go-ahead run in a 2-0 win Thursday night for a 2-0 edge in the World Series.

Gregor Blanco’s single trickled to a stop inches fair on the infield dirt, setting up Brandon Crawford’s

run-scoring double-play grounder in the seventh.

Hunter Pence added a sacrifice fly in the eighth, and that was plenty for these masters of the October comeback.

“It definitely feels a whole lot better than having our backs against the wall,” Bumgarner said. “But you can’t relax. We’ve got to keep pushing.”

Game 3 will be Saturday night in Detroit and for once, the Giants aren’t playing from behind. They overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat Cincinnati in the bestof-five division series and escaped a 3-1 hole against St. Louis in the NLCS.

from preceding page largest law firms in the state. “I’m a business owner and a business lawyer,” he said, noting that he has won endorsements from the National Federation of Independent Businesses, which counts 1,700 members in New Hampshire, as well as a number of trade associations.

Lamontagne stressed his “Prosperity Agenda,” which includes simplifying and reducing business taxes, adding incentives to expand employment and increase investment and sparing more business from taxation. He said that he would require an “economic impact analysis” accompany any pro-

posed rule or regulation and create the position of “business advocate” in the governor’s office to broker relations between firms and departments and agencies. He said that he would personally recruit businesses to locate in the state and convene a business advisory group to provide direction for public policy.

Lamontagne repeated his pledge to veto a personal income or general sales tax several times, once remarking that opposition to broad-based taxes was in his DNA. Likewise, he promised to balance the budget without raising taxes. “High taxes kill jobs,” he said. “This election is about jobs, jobs, jobs.”

Sermon, film and discussion planned on Muslim women’s head coverings LACONIA — Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy will present the sermon: “The Veil and Other Costumes and Customs” at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia on Sunday, October 28 at 10 a.m.

Rev. Dr. M’ellen Kennedy is a Unitarian Universalist minister and a Sufi minister.

MEREDITH — In 1892 Lizzie Borden, a 32 year old single woman, was officially charged with the murder of her father and stepmother in Fall River, Massachusetts. The events that followed the murder would stir the curiosity of people across the nation.

After four official criminal proceedings, Lizzie Borden was acquitted of the murder. The case is a mystery that has inspired documentaries, television movies, plays, musicals, poems, a scholarly journal, and law school case

studies.

A presentation by Annette M. Holba designed to review the facts and explore evidence that some suggest point to Lizzie’s guilt and others say exonerate her will be held at the Meredith Public Library on October 30 from 6:30-8 p.m.

The event is sponsored by the NH Humanities Council and the Friends of the Meredith Library. There is no charge for this lecture and refreshments will be served.

3rd Annual Tee Off for Ta Tas tournament raises Trick or Eat event on $2000 for Making Strides against Breast Cancer Saturday raises funds for Got Lunch! Inter-Lakes

LACONIA — The 3rd Annual Tee Off for Ta Tas Golf Tournament and Tapas Tasting held at Jade Trace Golf and Tavern 27 in Laconia raised $2,000 for the Making Strides for Breast Cancer walking team assembled by James LaBrie, son of Sheila LaBrie, a 12 year breast cancer survivor. James LaBrie is a junior chef at Tavern 27.

The event drew in excess of 50 participants, including golfers and food lovers, there to support the cause, play golf and enjoy a 9 course sampling of tapas and drink pairings presented by Tavern 27. Participants also had the opportunity to create Sheila LaBrie’s Wall of Hope display by sharing their reason for participating in the event on her board.

“Even with the impending bad weather, the majority of the teams that registered showed up to play with great enthusiasm,” stated Ray Simanson, the tournament organizer. “Witnessing this tournament was a dream come true. From the moment I stepped foot on this property I wanted to bring this place back to life in the hopes that it would become an asset to the community once again. The success of this event in raising money to support the efforts of finding a cure for breast cancer proved to me that it could be done. This is just the beginning.”

The tournament drew broad support from the community, which generously pledged over $50,000 in Hole In One Prizes to make the event a success. Tournament sponsors included: Laconia Village Bakery, Galleria Salon, LaBelle’s Shoe Repair, Looney Bin, MC Cycle and Sport, Trustworthy Hardware, The Ballard House Inn ,The Local Eatery, Belknap Tire Co., Werner Mazda, Meadowbrook US Cellular Pavilion, Ian Raymond Photography, Mountain Washington Cruises, Burrito Me, Patrick’s Pub and Eatery, Waukewan Golf Club, Reed Heath Coldwell Banker Agent, Jim Hildreth, The Laconia Daily Sun, Jade Trace Golf and Tavern 27.

St. Joseph’s Church Food bank donations sought at Shepherd’s Hut event hosting Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday GILFORD — Shepherd’s Hut Market at Ramblin’ Vewe Sheep Farm, at 637 Morrill St. is having a Halloween celebration Oct. 31 from 3-5 p.m. to which guests are invited to bring donations for our local food banks – Common Pantry and St. Vincent DePaul.

Shepherd’s Hut Market’s owner Joyce Keyser points out that “the food banks are in great need of a continual supply of non-perishable food, diapers, paper goods, detergent, personal care items, etc.”

“Last year we had a small turnout due to a rather

large snow storm,” she says, “but we still were able to donate something to the food banks. This year I hope that everyone will stop by for a few minutes with a donation and enjoy some time as part of their Halloween enjoyment.”

In return for a donation, people will have the chance to show off your costumes (not required though), and enjoy some cider and treats. There will be treats for the kiddies and visitors may also take a look at all the new lambs on the farm.

BELMONT — St. Joseph’s Church in Belmont will host an American Red Cross blood drive on Tuesday, October 30, from noon to 5 p.m. The New Hampshire Blood Services must collect 270 pints of blood daily in order to meet patient needs. Blood is used for surgery, accidents, chemotherapy, kidney dialysis and many other critical services.

For more information about giving blood or to schedule an appointment, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767).

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be drawn to efforts that will increase your physical strength and require a more deliberate style of action. Ultimately, you are striving to gain greater control over your domain.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

A delicious feeling of accomplishment results from the handling of simple things. There’s something oddly comforting in the kind of task that might fall under the category of “busywork.”

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Someone hungers for the kind of emotional nourishment that you may hesitate to give. You don’t want to set up a dynamic that will be unpleasant to continue later.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll be reminded that what you want is really important and not only to you.

You’ll appreciate the way loved ones honor your requests, especially if they happen to bring a reverent quality of attention to the task at hand.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20 Even the happiest of circumstances require you to process your reaction. It could take the better part of the day. Should you have seen this coming? Next time you’ll know the signs.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 26). A financial bonus in the next three weeks will allow you to take an exciting risk.

November brings solutions to tactical problems, the most brilliant of which emerge from your subconscious mind during sleep or meditation. In December, there’s something new about the way you integrate your talents into your work. Aries and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 13, 32, 17 and 38.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can spot irritable people at a distance.

If you can’t avoid them altogether, you’ll take care not to arouse antagonism on any level. You’ll be all smiles and relaxation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your self-sufficiency is important to you and apparently to others around you. Do they want you strong just so they can lean on you emotionally? It may seem that way today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The world has often been improved through happy accidents. You’ll experience one such felicitous mistake today. The trick is in spotting the good that comes of it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can always be proud of what you did out of love, loyalty and a highly developed sense of responsibility. Even if the outcome is not what you expected, your intentions resonate beautifully.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Emotional reserve is warranted. True friends do not fill their own selfish needs at your expense, but emotional vampires do.

Resist the devious charms of known offenders.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you don’t quite feel like your abundantly optimistic self, it may be that there’s a dynamic in your life that is siphoning off your energy. Once you handle this drain, you’ll return to your usual brightness.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Bad timing is one of the biggest obstacles to progress, but it can easily be conquered by careful attention to detail.

Your observations will put you inside the present moment where all cases of bad timing are remedied.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Friday, Oct. 26, the 300th day of 2012.

There are 66 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 26, 1942, Japanese planes badly damaged the aircraft carrier USS Hornet in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands during World War II. (The Hornet sank early the next morning; the battle itself ended in a tactical victory for Japan, but ultimately a strategic win for the Allies.)

On this date: In 1774, the First Continental Congress adjourned in Philadelphia.

In 1825, the Erie Canal opened in upstate New York, connecting Lake Erie and the Hudson River.

In 1861, the legendary Pony Express officially ceased operations, giving way to the transcontinental telegraph. (The last run of the Pony Express was completed the following month.)

In 1881, the “Gunfight at the O.K. Corral” took place in Tombstone, Ariz.

In 1902, women’s rights pioneer Elizabeth Cady Stanton died in New York at age 86.

In 1921, the Chicago Theatre, billed as “the Wonder Theatre of the World,” first opened.

In 1949, President Harry S. Truman signed a measure raising the minimum wage from 40 to 75 cents an hour.

In 1958, Pan American Airways flew its first Boeing 707 jetliner from New York to Paris in 8 hours and 41 minutes.

In 1962, the thriller “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?,” starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, had its premiere in New York.

In 1972, national security adviser Henry Kissinger declared, “Peace is at hand” in Vietnam.

Aviation innovator Igor Sikorsky died in Easton, Conn., at age 83.

In 1979, South Korean President Park Chunghee was shot to death during a dinner party along with his chief bodyguard by the head of the Korean Central Intelligence Agency, Kim Jae-kyu, who was later executed.

In 1982, the medical drama “St. Elsewhere” premiered on NBC. One year ago: President Barack Obama recalled his struggles with student loan debt as he unveiled a plan at the University of Colorado Denver that could give millions of young people some relief on their payments. In a verdict that disappointed pro-democracy activists, two Egyptian policemen who beat a man to death were convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter and given a relatively light sentence in a case that helped spark Egypt’s uprising.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, October 26, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Eleven years ago, we moved halfway across the country in order to live close to my husband’s family. For years, we heard about all the things they would do with our kids if only we lived nearer. My parents were still busy raising my four younger siblings and weren’t really interested in being grandparents, so all these promises sounded wonderful.

It didn’t take long after we moved to discover that my inlaws were all talk. When we announced that we were pregnant with our fourth child, my mother-in-law said, “Well, don’t expect me to babysit four kids.” I had to bite my tongue to keep from retorting, “Why would I? You never babysit the three we already have.” My mother-in-law always sounds like I’m holding a gun to her head when I ask whether she might have some time to see the kids.

My children are growing up. They are completely self-sufficient and well behaved. They clean up after themselves and take care of one another. I’ve always tried to cast my in-laws in the best possible light, even though they spend less time with my children than my parents who live 1,500 miles away.

But the kids are catching on.

Should I continue making excuses for my in-laws? Is it OK to tell my kids honestly why they never get invited to their house? Is there any way to express myself to my in-laws so it will open their eyes about what they are missing? So far, calling my mother-in-law on her behavior has only resulted in a guilt trip and crocodile tears.

It breaks my heart that my children have no relationship with these grandparents. But more than that, I’m having a hard time not resenting them for all the broken promises. -Fran in Frisco Dear Fran: We don’t know why your in-laws switched gears. Perhaps being with all those children was more ef-

fort than they expected. But don’t badmouth them to your kids even if they deserve it. When your children ask why they don’t see their grandparents, simply say, “It’s just the way they are.” And please stop asking your in-laws to spend time with the kids. Instead, invite them to whatever occasions merit their presence, and let them see for themselves what they are reaping.

Dear Annie: You’ve mentioned that men with low sex drives should be tested for low testosterone. I’m curious how many men are willing to address the problem with medication.

My guy was tested, and his testosterone was very low. He was given a prescription, but said it was too expensive. A call to the doctor produced a less expensive prescription, but he didn’t fill that one, either, because it was a “hormone,” and he thinks all hormones are dangerous.

We have since split up. No sex drive is one thing, but the accompanying negative personality issues made me want to hide in my own house. -- Alone Dear Alone: Low testosterone can also be responsible for depression and other mood disorders. It’s too bad your guy was unwilling to try the prescription. It may have helped him enormously. A discussion with his doctor about hormones would have been useful.

Dear Annie: I disagree with your answer to “Home Alone,” whose boyfriend travels on business for months at a time.

When he’s home, he spends weekdays with her but wants to spend weekends with his family or friends. You said, “You’ll have to revisit this issue if you marry and have children.”

I would hope the issue would be totally resolved before even thinking of getting married. He doesn’t even make a good boyfriend. That relationship spells disaster. -- Texas

Ashland Healthy Eating Active Living Coalition hosts free community dinner

ASHLAND — The Ashland Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) Coalition will host a free community dinner and forum on Thursday, November 1, at the Ashland Booster Club, 99 Main Street in Ashland.

The Ashland HEAL Coalition invites all members of the Ashland community to attend and share ideas to help identify opportunities for immediate and longterm improvements in the town. The dinner will start at 5:30 p.m. with the forum to follow from 6-8 p.m.

The Ashland HEAL Coalition is a partnership representing a cross-section of the Ashland community including local government, businesses, health care providers, schools, and residents. Its goal is to make immediate and long-term improvements in the community to promote good health and quality

of life for its residents.

“We are so pleased with the initial enthusiasm from the community around the healthy eating and active living initiative,” said Town Administrator, Paul Branscombe. “While a core group of us have been meeting to form the HEAL community coalition and assess opportunities for our town, to make it work we need to hear from our community members, including residents and business owners, about whatthey want and need in order to create a healthier, more vibrant community.”

The Ashland HEAL Coalition is one of four communities that recently received a two-year grant from Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH, one of New Hampshire’s leading organizations support-

ing healthy community initiatives.

HEAL NH will facilitate the Community Forum, and is working with Nashua, Laconia and Berlin to conduct similar forums in those communities. Bike paths, sidewalks, nature trails, and farmers markets are just a few examples of municipal strategies that may be considereddepending on the feedback community members provide to the Coalition during the forum.

More information about the Ashland HEAL Coalition and the Community Forum can be found at http://www.ashland.nh.gov. To RSVP for the event, contact Fran Newton at fanewton@roadrunner.com or call (603) 573-5330. Free dinner and childcare will be provided.
