Sheriff’s deputy busts 3 on drug charges in shopping center parking lot GILFORD — Two young Alton men and another from Pittsfield are facing drugrelated charges after a deputy sheriff on Thursday observed what he considered suspicious behavior in the parking lot of a shopping center here.

Brent Stranger, 20, and Jacob Ridener, 22 of Alton and Chad Belleville, 28, of Pittsfield were arrested Thursday afternoon about 3 p.m. while they were at Paugus Bay Plaza on Lake Street.

N.J. dog survives gas chamber; now up for adoption

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Unnamed and unwanted, the young beagle mix was left anonymously in a drop box outside an Alabama pound. His life was supposed to end in a gas chamber.

Instead, the young stray emerged frightened but unscathed, wagging his tail. Now, he’s being hailed as a miracle dog, given the name Daniel after the biblical figure who survived the lion’s den.

And he has a fresh start in New Jersey, where a rescue group hopes to find him a good home.

Only three animals have survived the gas chamber at the Animal Control facility in Florence, Ala., in the past 12 years. “Maybe God just had a better plan for this one,” said city spokesman Phil Stevenson.

Daniel’s tail never stopped wagging as he stepped off a plane at a New Jersey airport, where he was flown Wednesday by the nonprofit Eleventh Hour Rescue group and see DOG page 11

White to be color du jour in New England this weekend N. H. told to expect 5 to 10 inches of snow

HEBRON, Conn. (AP) — Steve Hoffman had expected to sell a lot of fall fertilizer this weekend at his hardware store in Hebron but instead spent Friday moving bags of ice melting pellets.

A storm moving up the East Coast was expected to combine with a cold air mass and dump anywhere from a dusting of snow to about 10 inches Saturday in parts of the Northeast.

“We’re stocked up and we’ve already sold a few shovels,” Hoffman said. “We actually had one guy come in and buy a roof rake.”

National Weather Service meteorologist Bill Simpson said the rake probably won’t be needed, but October snowfall records could be broken in parts of southern New England, especially at higher elevations.

The October record for southern New England is 7.5 inches in Worcester in 1979.

CONCORD (AP) — The first major winter storm of the season could dump 5 to 10 inches of snow in New Hampshire.

State emergency management officials are warning residents and visitors to take precautions at home and on the road

during Saturday’s storm. The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches for much of the state. Heavy snow is expected along with high winds.

Officials say the state’s utilities are planning for power outages on the coast.

The most snow will likely hit the Massachusetts Berkshires, the Litchfield Hills in northwestern Connecticut, southwestern New Hampshire and the southern Green Mountains. Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy warned residents that they could lose power.

The storm could bring more than 6 inches of snow to parts of Maine beginning Saturday night. Parts of southern Vermont

could receive more than a foot of wet snow Saturday into Sunday.

In Pennsylvania, 6 to 10 inches could fall at higher elevations, including the Laurel Highlands in the southwestern part of the state and the Pocono Mountains in the northeastern part. Philadelphia and Pittsburgh could see a coating. see SNOW page 14

NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors took a shot at the nation’s largest and arguably most powerful law enforcement union Friday, slapping criminal charges on 13 members after a lengthy probe into the longtime but under-the-table practice of making parking tickets disappear for friends and family.

The charges against the New York Police Department officers, two sergeants and a lieutenant were announced just three days after the embarrassing arrests of five police officers in a separate gun-running sting.

On Friday, hundreds of members of the

Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association came to support the officers, some in suits, others in dressed in jeans and sweatshirts, clogging the street near the Bronx courthouse, filling the hallways near the arraignment room and applauding in court after the officers left.

Patrick Lynch, president of the union, which has nearly 23,000 members, said ticket fixing was sanctioned at the highest levels of the department, and he vowed that when the dust settled, they’d prove it.

“Taking care of your family, taking care of your friends is not a crime,” he said. “To

take a courtesy and turn it into a crime is wrong.”

The officers pleaded not guilty to charges including misconduct, grand larceny and obstructing governmental administration.

The case was touched off when authorities investigating a potentially crooked cop overheard talk of fixing tickets.

Earlier this week, federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought conspiracy and other charges against five current and three former officers alleging they were part of a gun-running ring. In two other recent see NYC POLICE page 14

Engineer evacuated from South Pole recovering well from stroke

BALTIMORE (AP) — The engineer evacuated from a South Pole research station is recovering well from her stroke, her doctor said Friday.

Renee-Nicole Douceur, who traveled to Johns Hopkins Hospital this week for treatment, had a minor to moderate stroke, but tests did not find any tumors, according to Dr. Paul Nyquist. She is regaining her vision, and her speech is improving.

“Overall, I think she’s going to make a full recovery and that’s attributed to her, and the fact she’s trying so hard, which is a key thing in recovery,” Nyquist said. “She did a lot of her recovery on her own. She sought out ways to challenge her vision and get input from physicians outside the continent.

She did very well.”

Douceur was evacuated two months after she began experiencing vision, language and memory problems while working as station manager at the National Science Foundation’s South Pole research station. The 58-year-old nuclear engineer from Seabrook, N.H., was coordinating an emergency air drop at the station when all of a sudden her vision faltered, she said.

“I knew something went wrong when I couldn’t see half the paperwork in front of me,” she said. “Half the computer screen was missing. It was instantaneous.”

Despite being stuck at the South Pole during the eight-month winter period when there are just 49 people at the station and there aren’t regular flights, she wasn’t afraid.

“I wasn’t scared at all,” she said. “My personality is to try to stay cool. I never expected adversity.”

American incomes flat but we’re spending more

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans are making a little more money and spending a lot more.

Under normal circumstances, that would be a troubling sign for the economy. But a closer look at some new government figures suggests another possibility: People are saving less money because they’re earning next to nothing in interest.

Saving is already difficult because of more expensive gas and food. It’s even tougher because of the lower returns — the flip side of super-low interest rates that the Federal Reserve has kept in place since 2008 to help the economy.

Critics say the Fed is punishing those who play by the rules — those careful enough to set aside money for savings or people who built up a nest egg and are living on fixed incomes that depend on interest.

Americans spent 0.6 percent more in September,

three times the increase from the previous month, the government said Friday. Spending was especially strong on durable goods — things like cars, appliances and electronics.

At the same time, what they earned was mostly flat. Pay increased 0.3 percent, and overall income just 0.1 percent. After deducting taxes and adjusting for inflation, income fell for a third straight month.

So to make up the difference, many have cut back on savings. The savings rate fell to its lowest level since December 2007, the first month of the recession — and right about the time the Fed started its dramatic series of interest-rate cuts.

Considering how little you can get for parking your money at a bank, it hasn’t been a tough choice.

Defense witness asserts Michael Jackson caused own death

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Attorneys for Michael Jackson’s doctor dropped the bombshell Friday they’ve been hinting at for months — an expert opinion accusing the legendary singer of causing his own death.

Dr. Paul White, the defense team’s star scientific witness, said Jackson injected himself with a dose of propofol after an initial dose by Dr. Conrad Murray wore off. He also calculated that Jackson gave himself another sedative, lorazepam, by taking pills after an infusion of that drug and others by Murray failed to put him to sleep.

That combination of drugs could have had “lethal

consequences,” the researcher said.

White showed jurors a series of charts and simulations he created in the past two days to support the defense theory. He also did a courtroom demonstration of how the milky white anesthetic propofol could have entered Jackson’s veins in the small dose that Murray claimed he gave the insomniac star.

White said he accepted Murray’s statement to police that he administered only 25 milligrams of propofol after a night-long struggle to get Jackson to sleep with infusions of other sedatives.

“How long would that (propofol) have had an effect see JACKSON page 9

Conquest of the West; demography is destiny On Oct. 31, the U.N. Population Fund marks the arrival of the 7-billionth person on Earth and raises the population estimate for the planet at mid-century to 9.3-billion people. There is a possibility, says the United Nations, that, by century’s end, world population may reach 15-billion. What does this mean for Western civilization?

It may not matter, except to identify who inherits the estate. For while world population is exploding, Western peoples are dying. Not a single European nation, except Muslim Albania, has a birth rate that will enable it to replace its present population.

By mid-century, Western man will be down to 12-percent of world population. By century’s end, he will be a tiny fraction, roughly equal to the white population of Rhodesia when Robert Mugabe came to power.

The demographic winter of the West has set in.

Between now and 2050, Russia, a nation of roughly 140-million, down from nearly 150-million at the breakup of the Soviet Union, is on schedule to lose an additional 24-million people.

“Hypermortality” is a word demographers use in discussing Russia.

Germany is to lose 8-million of her 82-million people. Ukraine has lost 6-million people since liberation in 1991 and will lose another 10-million by 2050. The population of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, 8-million in 1990, will by mid-century have fallen by 30-percent to 5.7-million.

Britain, however, is to add 12-million. But since emigration from Britain is bleeding the population and the birth rate of her native-born has been below zero population growth for 35 years, the U.N. has to be factoring in immigration from the old colonies in the Caribbean, the Middle East, the sub-Sahara and South Asia.

With the median age of European nations rising toward 50 and above, and a growing share of the population over 65, the continent is going to need millions of young immigrants to maintain the labor force and cope with seniors and elderly in retirement centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes.

Where will they come from? Continents and countries with population surges and surpluses.

By 2050, Africa’s population will double from 1-billion to 2-billion people. Where today the six most populous Islamic nations — Indonesia, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nigeria and Turkey — have a combined population of 885-million, by 2050 their populations will have increased by 475-million to 1.36-billion.

Of the 48 fastest-growing countries in the world, 28 are majority Muslim or have Muslim populations of more than one-third of the national popula-

tion. And since it is the Muslim nations of North Africa and the Middle East that are closest to Europe, with easiest access to the continent, Muslims will likely furnish most of the multitudes who are coming.

What will this mean for Europe?

Religious and racial conflict.

On Sept. 11, 2001, after the twin towers fell and Germany expressed her anguish and solidarity with America, a strange event occurred.

In the Turkish districts of Berlin, bottle rockets were fired all night in celebration.

In the banlieues around Paris and other French cities, Arab riots, assaults on police and mass arson of vehicles regularly occur. This summer in London, the immigrant enclaves exploded and poured out into the city night after night. Angela Merkel of Germany, seconded by David Cameron of Britain and Nicolas Sarkozy of France, declared multiculturalism had “utterly failed.”

What is the future of Europe?

What is the future of Western man?

Houari Boumedienne, Algerian revolutionary and president of his country, predicted it at the United Nations in 1975.

“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere of this planet to burst into the Northern one. But not as friends. Because they will come in to conquer, and they will conquer by populating it with their children. Victory will come to us from the wombs of our women.” Boumedienne’s words were spoken just as European and Western birth rates plunged below ZPG. What, then, is the future?

A Russia with not one-tenth China’s population will not hold on to a continental nation twice China’s size.

Already the Russian Far East is being invaded by Chinese crossing the Amur and Ussuri rivers to work, even as Mexicans cross the Rio Grande to reoccupy lands torn away from their ancestors in 1836 and 1848.

What is the future of the West?

China will retrieve all the lands lost to Russia in the 19th century and slices of Russia that China never owned. Mexicans and Hispanics will dominate from the Floridas to the American Southwest the lands Spain and Mexico lost to the United States in the 19th century.

Africans, whose lands were colonized and exploited by Europeans, and Muslims and Arabs, whose ancestors were turned back at Poitiers and Vienna, will succeed in the final conquest of Europe.

Demography is destiny.

LETTERS I’m unalterably opposed to forming an adjunct union at PSU To the editor, I have been an adjunct in the College of Business Administration at Plymouth State University since 2003. Prior thereto, I had a 30 year career as a corporation lawyer in Connecticut and Illinois. My reasons for joining the faculty at PSU were to share my real world business experiences with graduate and undergraduate students to provide an insight that might assist them with their plans and careers.

I have been a member of the Adjunct Group at PSU since its organization about three years ago. I personally know the present and past leaders of the group. They are dedicated and sincere teachers and I support their efforts to increase the visibility and appreciation of the contribution that adjuncts make to the educational mission at PSU. That being said, I am unalterably opposed to forming a union. Over the past three years, our group has had an ongoing dialog with the provost and one of our members has been appointed to the Faculty Welfare Committee. In difficult economic times, we have made progress on more equitable pay scales. Now, the group leaders want to abandon first hand negotiations and discussions and place their fate in the hands of a union, SEIU 1984, a potentially divisive and adversarial action.

The union will speak for the members of the bargaining unit, including those philosophically opposed to the union’s

policies. The union will collect dues, in the range of 1.25-percent of compensation for members and a lesser amount for non members as a fee. Since the governor vetoed the “Right to Work” bill passed by the Legislature last summer, those adjuncts not desiring union representation will nonetheless be forced to contribute parts of their earnings to the union. In its efforts to organize adjuncts, members of SEIU 1984 visited adjuncts at their residences last summer, mostly unannounced and with an assertive manner. Many found this conduct offensive and outrageous. This union is also the one behind civil disobedience and organized mayhem in Wisconsin and Ohio, attempting to undermine state efforts to adjust budgets and state employees’ contributions to their pensions and health care costs. Accordingly, I choose to speak for myself, and not through a union advocate.

I realize that pay scales at USNH campuses are generally low, but that is a choice each adjunct makes and I doubt that unionization will significantly alter that fact and economic realities.

One last point. Mr. Kitch’s article in Friday’s Sun states that the formation of a collective bargaining unit will be decided by a simple majority of the eligible adjuncts. More accurately, the vote is the majority of eligible votes cast. It is thus incumbent on every PSU adjunct to vote his or her preference.

Moose photo complainers are out of touch with rural reality To the editor, It’s amazing how far we have deviated from our core values and traditions that have built this great country. Some are even appalled, ashamed or disturbed by a picture of something that has been a long tradition and a great heritage. I applaud The Sun for posting a picture of the season, “the hunting season” that is.

Wild game was not only a subsistence staple of early settlers, but the fur of beaver pelts were used like money selling and trading for provisions. The abundant natural resources, freedom, hard work and ingenuity was what our country was built on.

The people who complain of seeing a photo of a dead animal have lost touch

with reality. Some people seem to have desensitized themselves to think all of our food comes only from nice neat packages from a clean grocery isle.

The big slaughter houses take care of the messy side for the more sensitive common folk of today. These same sensitive folk slide into their leather seat, slip on there leather slippers, belt, shoes or what have you, while eating a nice steak without ever having a second thought of where it actually came from. We’ve desensitized ourselves by having other people do the dirty work for us.

I like seeing reminders of our heritage especially when its on the front page of a local newspaper. This counsee next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 29, 2011 — Page 5

LETTERS Progressives tell us the benefits of globalization outweigh costs To the editor, People are correctly dissatisfied about the state of the economy. Most do not understand why the economy is doing so badly. They know inflation is growing faster than incomes. They know that the unemployment rate was 7.6-percent when the current administration took office and it is 9.1-percent now. There is a lot of dissatisfaction. The questions are: What needs to happen; when we are going to take that action; and how long will it take to turn this train bound for oblivion around?

The manifestations are cries for higher taxes for the rich, a loathing of financiers, and rage against government which eclipses the first two combined. So far the protests are small and muddled but the sentiment runs deep and it is growing.

Donkeys and elephants would do well to take a break from fund raising and get a grip on the mood growing in the country.

Progressives, donkeys and elephants alike, are guilty of promising more than can be delivered. Some one is going to have to tell people the truth. Sooner would be better than later. Continuing to slow the rate of growth of spending is simply not going to feed the bull dog. We are spending 50-percent more than we are taking in. That just does not work personally. It does not work for cities and towns. It does not work for counties. It will not work long nationally either.

What we need is non-progressive leadership. We need someone strong enough to say what we do not want to hear but what we need to understand. There are many grievances but that is true in good times and bad. We cannot be distracted by the noise. There are important issues before us. Carping will fix none of them. We need a leader with an economic understanding and the ability to articulate why we need to take some pretty foul tasting medicine.

Neither the donkey model of social democracy and free markets nor the elephant model of regulated capitalism has produced anything since World War II that has proven to be anything but progressive schlock. They are two ways of saying the same thing. The donkeys social democracy promised voters benefits that society cannot now and truth be told never could afford. The elephant model claimed that capitalism would create prosperity. The sad truth is that the regulatory excesses have prevented capitalism from functioning. Instead we have been treated to a series of debtfueled asset bubbles and an economy that was rigged in favor of political elite who took all the proceeds in the good times and then left everybody else holding the bag.

Populist anger needs to be directed. It should be focused against progressives.

Progressives are about power and control.

They care nothing about ideology, political party or national allegiance. They will wear any coat that gets them into a position of control. They have a coordinated agenda that aims at getting power and keeping power at all costs. They will regulate what you eat, what you drink, where you can go, whether you can have a weapon, how much medical care is appropriate for you, what the educational requirements for you should be. They will spare no effort in protecting you against yourself. Beware the progressive.

Beware of anyone who wants to do something for you that you would not pay to do for your self. What are taxes but the government telling you how much of your income you can keep? What is the difference between a free man who can make no decisions for himself and a slave?

Beware the progressive.

There are two things we need to do starting today. The first is to get the economy moving. A credible strategy to solve the situation would be a huge start. More generally, focus on policies that boost economic growth. We need to admit our past hubris and raise the retirement age.

We need to fix the tax code in a way that makes economic sense. We need to allow failed companies to be devoured by their creditors not add layers of regulation and support. There is no such thing as too big to fail.

The second is to tell the truth. We need to understand what went wrong. The biggest danger is that legitimate criticisms of the excesses of finance risk turning into an unwarranted assault on those in charge of well run organizations. It is worth remembering that the epi-centre of the 2008 disaster was American property, which was a government created bubble which we still have not fixed. For all the financiers’ faults the huge hole in our governments’ finances stems less from bank bail-outs than from politicians spending too much in the boom and making promises to do with pensions and health care they never could keep. Look behind much of the current misery from high food prices to the lack of jobs and it has less to do with the market functions of the economy and more to do with state interference.

Progressives have a mantra, global integration. They will tell you that globalization has its costs. It will put ever more pressure on the skilled as well as unskilled. But by any measure the benefits enormously outweigh those costs.

They will assure you that in virtually all the ways to create jobs come from opening up economies. Progressives have been in power since the Teddy Roosevelt. How’s it working for you?

Vote early, vote often.

from preceding page try was founded on our God-given freedoms which includes what we view. You can freely choose not to look at a picture that at first glance you do not like. You are also free to disagree with it, but in this country we are free to print it as well. If you don’t like it, don’t look. Political correctness goes too far when we cannot even highlight a once a year tradition that is thousands of years old. As I see it the PC police of the past decades have ruined

this nation and turned many into whimpering fools and sensationalists.

This may not have been a photo city folk are used to seeing in a paper so let this be a lesson to those who are new to the area or not yet acclimated to the rural zones of New England.

These are the sights you may encounter here in the country so get used to it, but if it’s too much for you maybe you should move back to the city.

LETTERS N.H.’s reimbursement rates for Medicaid are lowest in the country To the editor, What can I say? What can anyone say? The shocking and sorrowful news that LRGHealthcare has been forced to close most of its primary care offices to Medicaid patients had two immediate effects. One was of speechlessness and then outrage at the government forces that caused this action.

Most times I react immediately and respond with a letter to the editor, but I felt a waiting period was necessary to see what the fallout would be and see if on reflection I had some different view. You know what? Most times your immediate thoughts are the right ones or the ones you believe and you are only expressing honestly your reaction.

First, your thoughts and sympathy go out to all those who will be affected.

They are the most important. Second, your thoughts and sympathy must go out to LRGH, which has struggled with losses for years to maintain these systems. Third, we must review the political process on both the federal and state level that is REALLY responsible for this crisis.

Over the past two years, I have written articles on the increasing danger of health care coverage and the need for all of us to do our part in preventing just what has happened. I pointed out the shortage of doctors, estimated now at a little over 50,000 but headed to 150,000. This recent action will probably double that number. I quoted national rates that doctors were not accepting new Medicare patients at about a 30-percent rate and new Medicaid patients at about a 50-percent rate. This was two years ago, and now we here in the Lakes Region are seeing what the continual cutting of reimbursements to the hospitals and doctors has done.

On top of cutting reimbursements, hospitals are now subject to a Medicaid Enhancement Tax (MET), which is currently 5.5-percent of net revenues.

This will mean most hospitals would pay more in taxes than they receive in payments from the state for taking care of Medicaid patients. Remember when the state cuts funds, the feds cut the same amount, so the state has effectively doubled our cuts.

In the past, hospitals have passed this loss of revenue along to the privately insured to make up the difference. This could only go on so long. The insurance companies by continually raising rates to the private sector find that employers can no longer afford to carry their employees or find it necessary to cut their workforce.

There has been a loss of 1,000 health care jobs with 100 at LRGH’s facilities. Of course, this puts more people out there without insurance and increases the Medicaid numbers.

In an editorial in the Concord Monitor, Friday, October 28th, they place the responsibility on the state, noting that N.H. reimburses hospitals less than any other state for caring for the poor.

To its credit, LRGH is reaching out to those Medicaid patients by referring them to four locations that will still take on these patients, mainly because they are in a situation that reimburses them more than LRGH receives for the same services. However, as their patient load increases, they too will be facing problems with overhead, enough doctors and equipment. However, LRGH will still receive ALL patients to the ER. When you think of the long lines and waiting periods in the ER this means everyone suffers, not just the Medicaid patient.

Our state reps and senators must go back to the table and rescind their cuts. To say “everyone was cut” is not a valid reason. A building can be cut and no physical harm is done. To cut medical services to everyone is harming humanity.

Councilor Brenda Baer Ward 4 - Laconia

I really appreciated Gary Torressen’s point of view on civility To the editor, In today’s (Oct. 27) Sun I read a letter that was so positive on the subject of discourse that I cannot hold back on expressing, for publication, my appreciation for the positive “spin” the author put on the matter. More importantly is the author’s view on how to conduct discourse respectfully.

What has troubled me, greatly, over the years that I have been reading the letters published in The Sun is the incivility of those who disagree with the author of a previously published letter.

It’s always a sure bet that when Leo Sandy puts out a liberal piece in The Sun, the following days will have letters taking heavy differences of opinion with Sandy. I welcome to read the other side. What bothers me is that those who have another view do not express it civilly. They attack Sandy personally and label him un-American for expressing views opposite to their own.

It has gotten to the point that I recognize the four or five ultra-conservatives who are sure-bets to attack Sandy and

once I note their names at the bottom of the letter, I don’t read the letter due to what I know will be vehement personal attacks. They might have legitimate and valid points that I should consider, but I never learn them because the writers already have a track record of too much vilification of the author with whom they disagree. I’m looking for the arguments, not the character assassination.

Therefore, it was such a pleasure to read the letter from Gary Torressen’s letter. I really appreciated his point that “It is okay to disagree with someone, but when one resorts to name calling, you just lost all real credibility to your argument and points.” I really applauded when the author concluded “So if you disagree with me, Stand Firm! (Just do it respectfully!)”

“Respectfully,” I wish I had said it so well.

But now I get the chance to second the motion, Bob Longabaugh Alton Bay

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, October 29, 2011 — Page 7

LETTERS Someone like Eric Cantor has no idea what it is like to be poor To the editor, I read your letter today, Mr. Ewing, where you defined what Tea Party members are. And although I do agree with some of what you would like to see change I was a little concerned that your letter offered no solutions for the many people cuts will hurt in order to achieve those goals. I am not singling you out because I have not read a letter yet from Tea Party members offering solutions either. No Republican have offered solutions either.

To be perfectly honest I find it hard to believe that the Tea Party is made up of many poor or low-income people because these people certainly aren’t going to be excited to be a part of the group that is bent set on taking what little they have away from them. It seems to me that the attitude, when it comes to taking away food, medical care, etc., is one of “too bad, figure it out. Not my problem.”

I have yet to hear one person in the Tea Party or Republican Party offer a solution to these people while the changes you speak of are attained.

What good is offering a solution to a goal if you haven’t figured out how to do it without destroying poor Americans. What I liked about your letter is that you did no name calling and insulted no one just merely explained Tea Party views.

In the last two days this very paper has carried articles about the people on Medicaid in Laconia who no longer will be cared for by their doctors, some of which they have been with for years. We know this was caused by the cuts to the Medicaid program made in Concord. A prime example of the “trickle down effect”. It has become evident these cuts, which will affect food benefits, medical benefits and cash benefits for those who need this help, are considered the acceptable way to deal with the economy.

But what gets me is that these people who want to do these cuts won’t even consider making the already wealthy and corporations pay their fair share and continue to give them tax breaks.

This cut to Medicaid benefits causing people to have to find new doctors will affect many people in this area.

Although I would not have called Eric Cantor a “heartless scumbag”, I would agree that he is heartless but I understand that is because he has no clue what it is to be poor and obviously has no idea how the programs he wants to cut actually work and help people. He and many of his colleagues have never even talked to poor people and I am certain have never stood in the St. Vincent dePaul

Food Pantry line waiting to get a few bags of food. I am also sure they have never had to choose between buying a prescription or food or paying the rent and other bills. It is hard to fathom these problems when you know nothing about them or what causes people to end up like this. People have lost jobs, had extensive expensive medical problems that have wiped out their savings. Problem not created by them.

They don’t choose to be poor. Contrary to what some think, people don’t want to be poor. People don’t choose to live out of their cars because they couldn’t pay their rent and got evicted. People don’t choose to be homeless or sick.

But people like Cantor don’t take the time to talk with these people and learn what caused them to be where they are. Mr. Cantor and others don’t care. These poor people usually don’t vote and certainly don’t contribute to campaigns. They spend their days just trying to figure out how to stay alive.

This is a prime example of “class warfare” — an attitude that the poor and low-income don’t matter.

I am sure that many members of the Tea Party do not like to see this happening to those who need help. But what I’d like to know is if they have a solution to assist these people so that balancing the budget doesn’t rest solely on the backs of the low-income, poor and elderly. Have people forgotten the wealthy are wealthy because of all the poor working class who worked/toiled for them and were responsible for the products that led to their wealth? They didn’t get wealthy on their own.

I am among the fortunate ones. This will not affect me. Nor do I have to worry about my living conditions. I worked for years in programs which assisted the poor and low-income and I know first hand what they face daily. I know the decisions they have to make. I listened to them. I cared.

Someone like Eric Cantor has no idea what he is talking about or what it is to be poor and he, and many others, have made some stupid and hurtful statements. Perhaps they should go talk to the person sleeping in the park or in a car or stand in a line to get some food. Perhaps they should go to the local emergency room and sit for hours waiting for someone to take care of them because they are sick and have no primary care physician. Then he might have a clearer idea.

I will end this by asking one last question. Why is the almighty dollar more important then a person’s well being?

CONSUMERS from page 3 their savings,” said Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst with market research firm The NPD Group. “The propensity is to spend.”

The annual yield on six-month certificates of deposit was unchanged this week at 0.23 percent, according to Bankrate.com. Five years ago, it was 3.62 percent. If you put your money in the six-month CD today, you’d make about enough to buy a burger.

Paul Ashworth, chief U.S. economist at Capital Economics, said the trend could mean more spending by Ameri-

spending — along with improvement in the depressed housing market — to get the economy going again.

Ashworth said his firm is not too concerned with the decline in savings because it partly represents “a sharp decline in debt servicing costs.” In other words, low interest rates mean it’s cheaper to borrow money.

The Fed began cutting interest rates four years ago at the start of the financial crisis. The rate cuts took the federal funds rate, the key for shortterm interest rates, from 5.25 percent down to near zero, where they have

LACONIA from page one Director Dhanna Saunders, City Clerk Mary Reynolds and School Superintendent Bob Champlin.

The team set four major goals: enhancing the appearance of the city, encouraging economic development, safeguarding the lakes and water quality and addressing social, demographic and economic challenges. Specific objectives accompanied each of the four goals and the different department heads indicated how their departments could contribute to pursuing them.

Steps will taken to improve the gateways to the city — Routes 3 and 106 from Belmont and Route 3 from Meredith — as well as major intersections, like Normandin Square, by encouraging private landlords to spruce up and maintain their properties.

At the same time, a plan for maintaining municipal properties, including sidewalks and roadways, will be developed, making use of seasonal employees. For instance, the schedules for collecting trash and street sweeping at The Weirs will be adjusted to ensure the area is clean for the better part of every day. An outreach program will be designed to encourage absentee landlords to improve and main-

tain their properties.

Economic development initiatives include compiling an inventory of public and private properties suited for redevelopment that qualify for tax credits or other incentives and market them through private realtors and state agencies. A manual to assist businesses in navigating the planning, permitting and licensing processes is being prepared.

When the process began the group identified the string of lakes as the city’s most valuable natural asset. The plan calls for measures to identify sources of bacteria in order to prevent the closure of swimming beaches during the summer months.

To manage the spread of exotic aquatic weeds, particularly milfoil, the Conservation Commission will partner with the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services to assess the lakes and control the milfoil. A plan will be developed to protect the municipal drinking water supply by enforcing appropriate land use regulations in the Paugus Bay watershed.

Substance abuse, economic opportunity and an aging population were identified as major challenges see next page

Purse snatching victim describes what happened LACONIA — The elderly woman whose purse was snatched just after she finished with a downtown medical appointment on Wednesday afternoon sought yesterday to clarify details of her traumatic encounter.

Police have arrested Patricia A. Kennett, 28, and Andrew D. Rouse, 25, in connection with the theft.

Neither has a current address.

The woman told The Daily Sun that she had just exited the HealthLink building and was sitting in her car with the engine running when a woman approached and indicated she wished to speak with her. The victim, whose identity is being kept private, said she rolled her window down part way and heard the woman ask for a ride to the Landmark Inn, which is just a couple of hundred yards away.

“I asked her if she was alone,” she said, and she replied with a waive of her hand that “he’s over there.”

The woman says she never saw the man allegedly involved in the robbery.

Before she knew it, the woman who had approached her reached through the open window

and grabbed the victim’s purse, which was resting in her lap. A struggle over the pocketbook ensued but the strap that was still over her shoulder broke and the assailant gained control.

The theft, she said, took place shortly after noon, not at the 2 p.m. hour previously reported.

A man who works in the HealthLink building, whose identify is also being withheld heard the victims cries for help and ended up chasing a man and a woman down Main Street. At one point he confronted the couple and they dropped the woman’s wallet and fled. He then pointed police in the direction the suspects were headed and presumably provided physical descriptions.

Kennett and Rouse were taken into custody a short time later.

During the chase the victim was resting on a bench near The Soda Shoppe. She said a number of people assisted in retrieving the scattered contents of her pocketbook for her and she was very grateful for the assistance.

JACKSON from page 3 on Mr. Jackson?” asked defense attorney J. Michael Flanagan.

“If you’re talking effect on the central nervous system, 10 to 15 minutes max,” White said.

He then said Jackson could have injected himself with another 25 milligrams during the time Murray has said he left the singer’s room.

“So you think it was self-injected propofol between 11:30 and 12?” asked Flanagan. “In my opinion, yes,” White said.

The witness, one of the early researchers of the anesthetic, contradicted testimony by Dr. Steven Shafer, his longtime colleague and collaborator. Shafer earlier testified Jackson would have been groggy from all the medications he was administered during the night and could not have given himself the drug in the two minutes Murray said he was gone.

“He can’t give himself an injection if he’s asleep,” Shafer told jurors last week. He called the defense theory of self-administration “crazy.”

White’s testimony belied no animosity between the two experts, who have worked together for 30 years. Although White was called out by the judge one day for making derogatory comments to a TV reporter about the prosecution case, White was respectful and soft spoken on the witness stand.

When Flanagan made a mistake and called him “Dr. Shafer” a few times, White said, “I’m honored.”

The prosecution asked for more time to study the computer program White used before cross-examining him. Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor granted the request, saying he too was baffled by the complicated simulations of Jackson’s fatal dose. He recessed court early and gave prosecutors the weekend to catch up before questioning White on Monday.

The surprise disclosure of White’s new theory caused a disruption of the court schedule, and the judge had worried aloud that jurors, who expected the trial to be over this week, were being inconvenienced. But the seven men and five women appeared engaged in the testimony and offered no complaints when the judge apologized for the delay.

Prosecutors could call Shafer back during their rebuttal case to answer White’s assertions.

Among the key issues is how White calculated that a large residue of propofol in Jackson’s body could have come from the small dose that Murray says he administered. Shafer assumed Murray had lied, and he estimated Jackson actually was given 1,000 milligrams of the drug by Murray, who he said left the bottle running into an IV tube under the pull of gravity.

from preceding page facing the city. Police Chief Chris Adams assured the team that substance abuse and the crime associated with it are high priorities for the department, which is regularly represented at the monthly meeting of the recently formed coalition against drugs.

To foster opportunity, the group agreed to explore the propsect of providing incentives, like reduced taxes, to employers who expanded their payrolls and marketing the city as desirable place to do business.

A program aimed at first-time homebuyers featuring property tax abatements was suggested as a means of attracting young families to the city.

The three sessions and final plan fulfilled a goal set by Seymour during his first campaign for mayor two years ago.

BELMONT — Although the technology of the modern world makes it increasingly possible to communicate with people around the world and to learn about distant locations, there’s still no substitute for traveling to an unknown place and living among its inhabitants. That’s why Belmont High School has maintained an exchange program with a school in Moissac, France.

Belmont families have been hosting 18 students from Moissac, who are departing today after spending two weeks here.

The French students, equivalent in age to juniors and seniors at Belmont High School, have traveled to Boston, Concord, Manchester and the seacoast, and have come to the High School, where they’ve been studying, in English, sociology, biology, physical education and U.S. History. They’ve also taken the opportunity to study the culture of the school and Belmont relative to what they know in Moissac, where they’ve studied English since they were about 11 years old.

Charlotte Delord said she and her schoolmates were motivated to come to Belmont “to know a new culture, a new country .”

“And to get out of our town,” added Christopher Grand.

Celia Germanetto was looking forward to the opportunity to improve her English skills. She also found, “the people are very nice.”

ANNUAL HOLIDAY FAIR

For Liliana Rodrigues Pinto, the experience has been “amazing,” and she agreed with Germanetto, noting that they’ve felt welcomed and accepted at their host homes and at school. “The people are curious to get to know us.”

“The school here is nice, it is very free. It is a different culture,” said Delord. Her compatriots agreed that the atmosphere in Belmont High School is more permissive, less strict, than what they were used to.

Students here, they reported, are allowed to talk to one another during class, eat or drink whenever they like, it seems, activities which are not permitted at their school. “Here, they eat all day,” said Rodrigues Pinto.

Edith Singlard said she was surprised by the lax rules at the school, as well as the scale of life she found. “All is bigger in America,” she said, whether it’s cars, roads or the size of beverage containers.

Delord was struck by the natural beauty of the area.

“We don’t have lakes... In Moissac, we have trees but no woods.” She was also surprised to find how enthusiastically Americans celebrate Halloween, a holiday only observed by young children in France.

Shirley Fried is looking forward to sharing all the photos she’s taken with her family and telling them about what she’s seen. “It’s beautiful and I want to come back here.”

The exchange has been an enlightening experience for the Belmont students hosting the Continental visitors. “It’s a lot of fun, we do a lot together,” see next page

BUST from page one report from the office of Sheriff Criag H. Wiggon, Deputy Justin Blanchete noticed what appeared to be drug-related activity in and around a vehicle being driven by Stranger. He approached the three men and reported he noticed drug paraphernalia, including a hypodermic needle and cocaine in the possession of one of the other two men. Additional drugs and paraphernalia, including marijuana and a pipe were later located in the possession of the other two.

Stranger was charged with transporting a controlled drug and Ridener was charged with possession of a controlled drug. Both were processed and released on

personal recognizance bail and are due to appear in 4th Circuit Court in Laconia on December 1.

Belleville was charged with providing a fictitious name and obstructing governmental administration (both misdemeanors) and possession of narcotic drugs (a felony). He was also held on an outstanding warrant for failing to appear in court on a previous disobeying an officer charge.

Belleville refused bail and was arraigned on Friday. He was returned to the Belknap County Jail is lieu of $250 cash bail.

Gilford Police Sergeant James Leach and Sheriff’s Department Sergeant Michael McCarn assisted Blanchette at the scene.

DOG from page 2 placed with volunteer Jill Pavlik until he can be adopted.

“He’s absolutely fabulous,” Pavlik, a hairdresser who works and lives in northern New Jersey, said Friday. “He walked in the house like he had always lived there. He’s very sweet, happy and outgoing.”

Linda Schiller, the shelter’s founder and president, said the facility has already received about 100 applications from people around the country seeking to adopt Daniel. About half said they weren’t interested in adopting another dog if the 20-pound Daniel wasn’t available.

“Maybe we’ll get a cosmetic surgeon to make all our dogs look like Daniel,” Schiller said jokingly. She added that Daniel, while thin, hadn’t shown any residual effects of his ordeal.

No one is sure why Daniel was the lone survivor.

“It may be that his breathing was shallow because of a cold or something,” Stevenson said.

He said the gas chamber is a stainless-steel box roughly the size of a pickup truck bed, and dogs are put into the chamber about seven or eight at a time.

A computer-controlled pump slowly feeds carbon monoxide into the chamber once it’s sealed, and an operator presses a button.

Normally, the animals just go “to sleep slowly. It’s like the cases you hear about where people are overcome by carbon monoxide in their home and just never wake up,” he said.

from preceding page Kayla Tibbetts said about the student she’s hosting.

“We’re kind of best friends now.”

“At first, it was a little awkward,” said Claire Spaulding, one of the few hosts who is paired with a student of opposite gender. They’ve bonded, though, because despite the language barrier, “luckily we have the same sense of humor.”

Madeline Callahan said hosting has “been wicked fun.” The hosts have added the word “wicked” and the phrase “cool story, bro” to the visitors’ vocabularies. “I didn’t expect us to have so many similarities, we have so much in common.”

Later this school year, Moissac will reciprocate the hospitality when a group of local students get a taste of life in France.

TOGETHER from page one One of the most prominent successes was that of the Got Lunch! program launched last summer in Laconia in response to news stories that two-thirds of the city’s students qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches.

“We had 74-percent of the students at one school who were eligible,” said Laconia Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin, who said that many people pulled together to organize a system in which a bag of groceries were delivered every week during the summer for some 354 children from the city.

Nearly $30,000 was raised in that effort, which involved some 73 volunteers who bagged and delivered the groceries.

Next summer the students who receive those lunches will also be receiving books, enabling them to expand their reading skills over the summer.

John Walker, who helped initiate the program, which was modeled on one Paula Gile, associate minister of the First Congregational Church was familiar with in Colchester, Vt., proved so successful that other communities across the Lakes Region are looking at setting up one of their own.

Clare Persson, who works with a group Stand Up 4 a Drug Free Laconia, described how her daughter, a high school freshman had told her that class members were reluctant to have an anti-drug message on their homecoming float due to concerns that they

tantly agreed to put it on the float. They ended up winning the prize for the best float in the parade.

That really empowered them and gave them confidence about being able to speak out,’’ said Persson.

Tammy Levesque, who is the director of the Laconia Senior Center and an advocate for Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL), said that a Cabin Fever event held on the night of a full moon last February brought together young and old and provided a unique learning and sharing experience for hundreds of people.

She said the WOW Trail is another example of people pulling together and said that volunteers are still being sought to paint murals.

And she broke into tears as she described how she has witnessed the plight of senior citizens by riding along with Meals on Wheels drivers, saying “there are so many seniors without the food and clothing that they need,’’ and urged action to assist them.

A mentoring project that will link young children with caring adults is making progress according to Joyce Selig, who said that program is almost at the point where it can launch. The project is receiving a real boost from David Lynch of the Appalachian Mountain Teen Project, who will be providing free training for the next several months to people involved in mentoring.

Sandra McLaughlin, who recently retired as principal of Holderness Central School, said that she is very interested in the mentoring and volunteered to work with it.

Peter Benson of the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation, said that what is happening in Laconia is very heartening.

“New Hampshire works because of dialogue. I’ve seen places where the cultural fabric is completely torn apart. What you’re doing here is what weaves a community together,’’ said Benson.

New owner moves ‘Mini Mount’ to Gilford, where restoration work is in order

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — The Mini Mount, a seaworthy replica of the M/S Mount Washington, made the trip from Center Harbor to Gilford atop a truck drawn trailer yesterday where it was met by its new owner, Doug Smith, and placed in its new home, Dave’s Motorboat Shoppe.

Built to 1/5 scale by Jack Miller of Wolfeboro, who devoted more than seven years to the project, the Mini Mount plied the lake for nearly a decade before it was taken out of the water in 2008. The ship is 56-feet long and 7-feet abeam with a flat bottomed steel hull and superstructure of marine plywood.

The Mini Mount is powered by two Crusader 350 V-8 engines turning twin propellers and equipped with a bow thruster. The horn at the bow is tuned to the pitch of its larger counterpart and the registration number on the bow — “NHooo2 MT” — is just one digit higher than the M/S Mount Washington.

With the captain at the helm, the Mini Mount accommodates nine passengers. However, Miller was also fond of cruising with a bevy of Barbie dolls, all of whom came with the ship.

The Mini Mount was offered on Craig’s List

by Mount Washington Cruises without a specific asking price, but was rumored to carry a price tag of $25,000. Smith purchased the ship for an undisclosed amount.

Denis Finnerty of Mount Washington Cruises said that the company acquired the Mini Mount expecting to add it to their fleet as a novelty. However, he said that because the ship was built without certified drawings, it could not be insured for commercial use.

Smith, a man of few but telling words, said “it was tearing my heart out to see it falling apart.” After a spell under cover at Irwin Marine, the Mini Mount was stored alongside the M/S Mount Washington at Center Harbor. “I don’t really have plans for it,” he continued. “I saw it on the lake in its heyday, thought it was a marvel of what Jack Miller created and just wanted to rescue it.”

“I was astounded when I first saw it,” said Smith, who is retired after a career in the automobile busi-

ness. “And I still am.”

Smith’s friend and neighbor Tim Lacey, who he introduced as his “vice admiral,” said that since learning the ship had been purchased a number of people have volunteered to assist with its restoration. Much of the paint is peeled or cracked and some of the wooden trim has rotted from exposure

NYC POLICE from page 2 unrelated federal cases, one officer was charged with arresting a black man without cause and using a racial slur to describe the suspect, and another with using a law enforcement database to try to trump up charges against an innocent man.

“It’s not the best time for the department,” said longtime police historian Thomas Reppetto. “Does it rise to the level of the great scandals that have occurred in the past? No. Ticket fixing is not on the same level as drug dealing.”

Still, he said, it was wrong and union officials shouldn’t be trying to pretend it’s OK. Bronx residents had similar reactions as many stopped to watch the commotion outside courtroom, with some calling the officers crooks.

“It’s a double standard. If a cop doesn’t have to pay a ticket, then why do I?” said resident Terril Strod.

Among those charged were Jennara Cobb, an internal affairs bureau lieutenant who pleaded not guilty to charges she leaked information to union officials about the probe. As a result of her meeting, word spread through the union and members started to alter the way they fixed tickets, prosecutor Jonathan Ortiz said.

“The investigation was significantly compromised because of her actions,” he said.

Her attorney, Philip Karasyk, said she denied the allegations and had been unfairly singled out. She was released on bail.

“That wiretap was leaking like a sieve,” he said.

The majority of those arrested were delegates and union members. Among those charged were union officials Joseph Anthony, 46; Michael Hernandez, 35; and Brian McGuckin, 44. They are police officers but work full time for the union.

“This has been laid on the shoulders of police officers, but when the dust settles and we have our day in court, it will be clear that this is part of the NYPD at all levels,” Lynch said. from preceding page suggestions about where to store the ship before Smith reached an agreement with Dave Ewing, who will level a spot at his boatyard where the Mini Mount can be sheltered in a garage tent.

While Smith is intent on restoring Miller’s creation, Lacey is just as eager to sail in her. “She doesn’t come with an owner’s manual,” Ewing reminded him.

Just Good!

The charges evolved from a 2009 internal affairs probe of Jose Ramos, a 40th Precinct officer who also owned a barber shop and was suspected of allowing a friend to deal drugs out of it. Prosecutors said he transported drugs in uniform.

“He sold his shield, he violated his oath,” Assistant District Attorney Omer Wiceyk said.

Wiceyk said Ramos was recorded as saying he “stopped caring about the law a long time ago.”

Ramos pleaded not guilty to drug and other charges.

His attorney, John Sandleitner, said the charges were ridiculous. His client was held on $500,000 bail. Cobb posted bail and the others were released.

The conversation overheard on the Ramos wiretap led to more recordings that produced evidence of additional officers having similar conversations.

Ramos’ supervisor, Jacob G. Solorzano, 41, was charged with misconduct. Sgt. Marc Manara, 39, Officer Ruben Peralta, 45, Officer Jeffrey Regan, 37 and Officer Christopher Scott, 41, all of the 48th Precinct, were charged with covering up an assault for an acquaintance. Some of the charges also overlap to include ticket fixing.

Five civilians were charged, including Ramos’ wife.

Aside from those officers charged criminally, dozens more could face internal charges. In one disciplinary case already decided earlier this year, a former union financial secretary in the Bronx admitted administrative misconduct charges and was docked 40 days of vacation and suspended for five days.

There are generally three ways the citations are fixed: They are voided by a ranking official, a copy is ripped up before it reaches court or the officer doesn’t appear on the day of the summons.

SNOW from page 2 “This is very, very unusual,” said John LaCorte, a National Weather Service meteorologist in State College, Pa. “It has all the look and feel of a classic midwinter nor’easter. It’s going to be very dangerous.”

The last major widespread snowstorm in Pennsylvania this early was in 1972, LaCorte said.

In New England, the first measurable snow usually falls in early December, and normal highs for late October are in the mid-50s.

“This is just wrong,” said Dee Lund of East Hampton, who was at a Glastonbury garage getting four new tires put on her car before a weekend road trip to New Hampshire.

Lund said that after last winter’s record snowfall, which left a 12-foot snow bank outside her house, she’d been hoping for a reprieve.

Newfound District task Elva Piehn receives community service award force forums start Nov. 7 BRISTOL — The Newfound Area School District has announced that it has scheduled two dates for public forums to share information that has been the subject of District Task Forces.

The forums will occur on November 7 and December 7 both from 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. in the auditorium at Newfound Regional High School.

The District Data Comparison Task Force was commissioned by the School Board Chair to compare financial and performance data from several districts across the state. Chaired by Board Vice Chair Louis Lieto (Groton), the task force is also comprised of School Board member Vincent Paul Migliore (Bridgewater), Budget Committee member Rich Kirby (Hebron) and Business Administrator Daniel Rossner.

The District Healthcare Task Force was established by the School Board in response to an advisory Warrant Article (by Petition) for the purpose of exploring various options including self insurance and/or a zero co-pay option for the Health Plans to be offered to employees of the district. Chaired

by Board Vice Chair Louis Lieto (Groton), the task force is also comprised of School Board member Vincent Paul Migliore (Bridgewater), and Business Administrator Daniel Rossner.

After spending several months gathering and organizing data from districts with student populations and general characteristics close to Newfound, their next step is to present the raw data with the goal of engendering conversations with the public in an open forum.

All members of the community are invited to attend these forums, join the discussion, offer thoughts, ask questions, or just listen.

Ray Burton receives award named in his honor Free program with NH author Helen Brody on November 6 BRISTOL — The Minot-Sleeper Library will welcome New Hampshire cookbook author and food features writer Helen Brody on Sunday, November 6 at 1 p.m. as part of its Fall Author Luncheon Series.

The event will be held at the Bristol Masonic Hall next door to the library.

Brody’s 2004 book, “New Hampshire: From Farm to Kitchen” pulls together a comprehensive look at New Hampshire’s rich store of gastronomic treasures by profiling some of the Granite State’s most important working farms.

Quick and easy recipes, using each farm’s raw ingredients, make the direct and often overlooked connection between the farmer who grows the food and the cook who prepares it. The book also offers menus for traditional events around the state and a resource section that will allow readers and cooks to locate farms and their products.

Brody’s current project is the New Hampshire Farms Network, a website that profile local farms with a spotlight on the roles women play to make them successful.

Also in attendance will be the owners of the Longhaul Farm. Located in Holderness, the Longhaul Farm offers a Farm Stand and Café open during the months of June-September, where they sell a variety of locally grown and organic products including meat, cheese, veggies and jams. The farm also hosts rehearsal dinners, weddings, retreats, reunions, private parties, and workshops at their Pavilion in the Woods.

They can be found online at longhaulfarm.com This program is free and includes a light lunch.

Space is limited. To reserve a spot call 744-3352 or email librarian@townofbristolnh.org.

PLYMOUTH — State Senator Jeanie Forrester, on behalf of the Grafton County Republican Committee, presented District 1 Executive Councilor Ray Burton with the inaugural Raymond S. Burton Community Service Award at the committee’s Columbus Day Dinner.

“To have an award named after oneself is a tremendous honor and to have it given to me by Senator Forrester is of great joy and delight.” said Burton. “The duty of public service is to represent all constituents and do what is best on their behalf and that is exactly what I have and will continue to do as District 1 Executive Councilor and Grafton County Commissioner.”

Burton accepted the award in front of a packed house at the Common Man Restaurant in Plymouth.

The Raymond S. Burton Award will be presented to a public servant every year and will be awarded to such an individual who follows the dedicated public service example Burton has provided for nearly 30 years to the residents of New Hampshire.

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis tempting to stay in the dark about certain matters of finance. Just because you confront reality doesn’t mean you will automatically know the right action to take. But your odds will certainly be increased.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Family and friends will let down their guard around you, as they can trust you to bring harmony to their world. In this way, you contribute to world peace.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You may have to bribe yourself in order to get yourself to complete a certain tedious task. Whatever works. But definitely follow through with whatever treats and rewards you promise yourself along the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Appearances are important to you, though you must be careful not to judge a scene -- or a person, for that matter -- merely on looks. There is much going on under the surface, especially these days.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You won’t wake up feeling like you’re “in the zone.” That is a state you must cultivate, and cultivated it you will. You’ll repeat an action until you’ve mastered it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 29).

You’ll embark on a challenging journey with no guarantee of success and will love where it takes you. December brings a personal triumph. In January, you’ll learn to use new tools to get what you want. You’ll enjoy your role in a close-knit group in March. February shows you investing and making quick money. Gemini and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 49, 10 and 15.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Discussions about money will serve to point out the complexities of a relationship.

The dollars and cents are not the real issue; the effort that goes into making them is.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Trust your own creative spirit. If you don’t, you cannot inspire others to be creative. Sometimes you feel tapped out of ideas, but more will come later, after you’ve rested and done a little exploring.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Some will lead you to believe that you should protect yourself. Consider that your own good karma may be the best protection you could have right now. When in doubt, just give.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Maneuvering by your instincts, you’ll have to differentiate between your hunches and your fears. These messages land differently in your body. Listen to your body.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You need your freedom, and this extends to matters of finance. Your commitments to others may create a financial limitation that you didn’t expect. You might rethink your financial plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll listen more than talk. After you’ve heard what your colleagues, friends and loved ones have to say, you’ll see the world as it is and not as you wish it would be.

This point of view will empower you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Reading is favored. Follow your interest, and you’ll fill in some holes of knowledge you were missing. With this little bit of learning, you will understand what you need to do for maximum efficiency.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It is

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to “George” for more than 20 years. For most of this time, there has been tension (to put it mildly) between my husband and my mother. He rubs her the wrong way, she snipes at him, and he snipes back. I’ve had several conversations with them over the years, asking them to be more tolerant of each other, if only for my sake. That works for a while, but eventually, they return to their old ways.

What is bizarre is that my mother is normally a lovely, compassionate, considerate and caring person. She is a totally different person with George. I admit that my husband can be strong-willed and obstinate at times, but he has never deserved the treatment my mother gives him.

I try to see Mom separately in order to avoid the drama of their interactions, but there are certain family events and holidays when I would prefer not to choose between them.

And it never fails that if I convince George to attend a family function, something is said that starts the sniping again.

Short of giving them joint counseling sessions for Christmas, what can I do? -- Caught in the Middle and Hate It Dear Caught: Your mother may be jealous of your husband. This occasionally can happen with some parents when a child marries, and if you call it to her attention, she will consider the possibility. But it’s just as likely that your husband’s personality simply irritates her to no end. You cannot control how other people behave or whether they like each other. You can ignore them, see them separately or remove yourself when the sniping becomes too annoying. We recommend a combination of the three, as needed.

Dear Annie: I am a 17-year-old male and a senior in high school. Lately, I’ve been feeling more depressed than usual.

At first, I thought it was the stress of starting school again, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I did a little research

online, and I do have some signs that I might be clinically depressed.

I do not know what to do. Should I just ignore it? I mean, I’ve had it for a while already, and I don’t have any thoughts of suicide or harming myself. I do not want to tell my parents. They don’t need any more stress, and I’m pretty sure my dad would just tell me to “suck it up.” Please help. -Stressed Out Dear Stressed: Your parents should know about your depression, but if you cannot talk to them about it, please discuss it with your school counselor, a favorite teacher or one of your friend’s parents. If you have a checkup scheduled, talk to your doctor. It is normal to feel down in the dumps occasionally, especially when there are external reasons. But if the feeling persists, it may require some type of intervention. Please don’t wait until you are too stressed to cope.

Dear Annie: Although my husband and I are only in our early 60s, we, too, feel the pain of being ignored by our adult children and can identify all too well with “Glendora, Calif.”

We understand their busy schedules, but they never call just to say hello or ask how we are. We have rare opportunities to see them -- annual birthday parties for the grandchildren and weekend sporting events during the school years.

The sad thing is that we have done nothing to deserve this. We were always attentive to our sons and fail to see why we get this shameful treatment. I never ignored my parents, who both passed away last year. I always greeted them with a hug and a kiss, as well as an inquiry as to their wellbeing.

Years ago, our son said that the worst thing in life is regret.

He may find that out for himself someday. -- California

Lakes Region Real Estate Market Report / Roy Sanborn

A dead listing When I answered the phone, I could barely make out the faint voice on the other end of the line. The woman, almost whispering, said her name was Liz and that she’d like to see my new listing on Elm Street. It’s a charming, older Victorian that has been drawing lots of attention because of the low price. I asked her if she could come into the office to talk about exactly what she was looking for as this home really needs work. She whispered again that she would meet me at the home at 6 that night. I started to ask if she had a pre-approval letter, but she was gone. I didn’t even get her cell phone number. That’s the way it goes with buyers today. They’re always in a rush and never want to give anyone any information! It’s the new way of home buying in this Internet age. Real estate agents are used to this, but it doesn’t make our job any easier.

I pulled into the driveway of the home slightly before six. I like to get to showings early to turn on all the lights, open the curtains, and make sure everything is okay before the buyer arrives. But it’s getting dark earlier now and the windows were pretty dirty so I left the curtains shut. I entered the front

door and went into the living room and started clicking light switches. This home has been vacant for a while but is still full of old dusty, ragged furniture. The place doesn’t really show that well, but it is an estate sale so people understand. In fact, some people get excited about buying the furniture, more so than the home. It’s amazing how the mixture of clutter and nice old antiques can distract buyers from what they are really there to look at. That musty, moldy smell doesn’t help much either.

As I flicked on the kitchen light there was a loud pop and all the lights went out. The electrical system in this place must need some work. Even though the house has been upgraded with circuit breakers it still has old knob and tube wiring so this is definitely not a home for FHA financing. I went out to the shed that connects to the large barn at the rear of the home. Luckily, the breaker box is in there instead of down in the dark and dungy wet basement. I didn’t think to bring a flashlight. It was still pretty dark though and I stepped through the door and got a face full of cob webs. Something scurried off across the see next page

SCARY NEW PRICE!! from preceding page ceiling. Probably squirrels? They probably have been eating the wiring. Just something else for the home inspector to pick up on. I reached out to where I remembered the breaker box to be, fumbled with the door, and started flicking breakers in hopes of finding the right one. I got lucky about the ninth try as I could see the kitchen light up beyond the shed door.

I pulled the door open to go back into the kitchen and immediately jumped backward. The hair stood up on the back of my neck, startled by the sight of the old woman standing there not two feet from the door. “You surprised me,” I said, “I didn’t hear you come in.” She didn’t respond and just looked at me blankly.

Kind of sadly. She was dressed in a flowing nightgown. She took several steps backward, slowly into the light, and I could see her clearer now. Actually, I could see right through her. Real estate agents, over time, learn to see which buyers are real and which ones are not.

This buyer was clearly not a real buyer, not real at all. She was clearly an apparition. A ghost of buyers past? “Are you Liz?” I asked, “Are you looking to buy

this house?” She raised her right hand and in it was a piece of paper which she tossed at me. Picking it up, I could see it was an old deed from 1927. “Look at the name,” she whispered in the voice I recognized from the phone call. The name of the deed was Elizabeth Borden which I quickly recognized at the name of our dearly departed former owner.

“Get out now!” she whispered, “Get out now!” I did, quickly. Could she be THAT Lizzy Borden? She can turn the lights off herself.

That’s it, I’m done with this one. Not only do I have to disclose that this place has bad wiring, a wet basement, peeling paint, and that it is infested with rodents, I also find it my duty to tell the buyers that I have seen my deceased client! This home is one of those dreaded “Dead Listings!” That’s a real Nightmare on Elm Street. Boo-tiful, just plain boo-tiful! Happy Halloween…

Not to be denied Cardinals win game 7 & take World Series from Rangers ST. LOUIS (AP) — Pushed to the brink, the St. Louis Cardinals saved themselves. A frantic rush to reach the postseason on the final day. A nifty pair of comebacks in the playoffs. Two

desperate rallies in Game 6.

Turns out these Cardinals were merely gearing up for a gigantic celebration. The Cardinals won a remarkable World Series they weren’t even

supposed to reach, beating the Texas Rangers 6-2 in Game 7 on Friday night with another key hit by hometown star David Freese and six gutty innings from Chris Carpenter.

“This whole ride, this team deserves this,” said Freese, who added the Series MVP award to his trophy as the NL championship MVP. “This organization is top notch. ... This is definitely a dream come true,” Freese said. “This is why you keep battling. ... I’m so glad to be a part of this.”

A day after an epic Game 6 that saw them twice within one strike of elimination before winning 10-9 in the 11th inning, the Cardinals captured their 11th World Series crown.

And following a whole fall on the edge, including a surge from 10½ games down in the wild-card race, Tony La Russa’s team didn’t dare mess with Texas, or any more drama in baseball’s first World Series Game 7 since the Angels beat Giants in 2002.

Freese’s two-run double tied it in the first and good-luck charm Allen Craig hit a go-ahead homer in the third.

Picked by La Russa earlier in the day to start on short rest, Carpenter and the tireless St. Louis bullpen closed it out.

“Studio 23”

“I wish everybody in the country could get to know these guys,” Craig said. “It’s unbelievable. I’m just glad to be a part of it.”

No Rally Squirrel needed on this night, either. Fireworks and confetti rang out at Busch Stadium when Jason Motte retired David Murphy on a fly ball to end it.

“We just kept playing,” Cardinals star Lance Berkman said.

So, did he enjoy this exhilarating matchup?

“Fun may not be the right word, but it’s fun now,” he said.

The Cardinals were loose from the very beginning.

“We were all in the clubhouse and we were a loose bunch of guys,” Motte said. “We were in there hanging out, dancing around, had music playing.

We were all like that’s the way we win and that’s how we play the best and we came out we were able to do it today. It’s just amazing.”

This marked the ninth straight time the home team had won Game 7 in the World Series. The wild-card Cardinals held that advantage over the AL West champions because the NL won the All-Star game.
