Muskrats offer Terry Francona skipper position in Laconia Former Red Sox manager would have to take $4-million pay cut but burrito deal offered as sweetener

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Less than 24 hours after Terry Francona parted company with the Boston Red Sox, he was offered a contract to manage the Laconia Muskrats of the New England Collegiate Baseball League during the 2012 season.

Noah Crane, vice-president

and general manager of the Muskrats, said yesterday that he faxed the contract to Francona’s agent, Pat Rooney of SFX Baseball of Northwood, Illinois on Saturday. Rooney did not return telephone calls yesterday.

Crane offered a salary of $6,000 for the 10 week season, along with reimbursement for

travel expenses, lodging with a host family, a personal parking space, membership at the Laconia Athletic & Swim Club, a 25-percent discount at Burrito Me and 25 tokens at Funspot.

In return Francona would be responsible for managing the team on the field, overseeing players and coaches, hosting the Muskrats Baseball Camp,

maintaining the playing field, making personal appearances and other duties assigned by the general manager.

Crane said that should Francona accept the offer Matt Allison, who skippered the Muskrats to the NECBL Eastern Division Championship this season would be assigned see FRaNCONa page 9

A good-sized contingent of family and friends gathered in the foyer of the Gilford Town Hall on Monday evening to watch Kevin Keenan take the oath of office as the town’s new police chief. Town Clerk Denise Gonyer (right) administered the oath. Also on hand was the Board of Selectmen that appointed Keenan to replace John Markland.

Selectmen Gus Benavides and Kevin Hayes can been seen here between Keenan and Jonyer. Board Chairman John O’Brien is out of view. Keenan has been on the force for 17 years and most recently was deputy chief. Daughters Mackenzie, Carolyn and Emma had the honor of pinning the new hardware on their dad’s uniform.

Man who killed home invader questioning his own competency to testify

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Massachusetts man who was the victim of an armed robbery attempt in Meredith last summer told his lawyer he doesn’t remember anything that happened to him that evening.

not appear in the courtroom but is known to be in the area.

“Quite frankly, there may have to be a competency review,” Temple told Judge James O’Neill.

The state has argued that Rivera, the alleged victim of Michael Noucas and the late Robert Hart, is a key witness in its case against Noucas.

(Noucas has been referred to as Carpenter-Noucas in previous news accounts and

is indicted under that name, but has indicated he wishes only to be referred to as Noucas.)

Noucas’s trial could start as early as this afternoon depending on the status of a jury that is deciding a different case in the morning.

Noucas is charged with two counts of armed robbery and one count of burglary for accompanying Hart while the two men see RIVeRa page 8

Paraplegic skipper lauded for saving lives off coast of Maine

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A paraplegic skipper is being credited with actions that helped save the lives of all but one friend on his pleasure fishing boat as it took on water in rough seas off Maine.

The 24-foot boat, Job Site 2, swamped and rolled upside down Friday while anchored about 5 miles off Kennebunkport during a day of fishing for bluefin tuna.

The outcome could have been worse if skipper Nicholas Masi III, of Biddeford, hadn’t calmly told the three other men on board to don survival suits and issued a mayday with precise coordinates, Maine Marine Patrol Sgt. Rob Beal said.

Moments after Masi radioed a distress call, the boat rolled over in 4- to 5-foot seas and 63-degree water, with few other boats nearby.

“If he hadn’t kept his head and radioed a distress call, it’s hard to say how long all four see SKIPPER page 12

Italian appeals court sets Amanda Knox free PERUGIA, Italy (AP) — Amanda Knox left prison Monday, a free woman for the first time in four years, after an Italian appeals court threw out the young American’s murder conviction in the sexual assault and stabbing death of her British roommate.

Knox, 24, collapsed in tears after the verdict was read, her lawyers draping their arms around her in support. Her codefendant and former boyfriend, Italian Raffaele Sollecito, also was cleared of kill-

ing 21-year-old Meredith Kercher in 2007.

“We’re thankful that Amanda’s nightmare is over,” her younger sister, Deanna Knox, told reporters outside the courthouse. “She suffered for four years for a crime she did not commit.”

The eight-member jury acquitted both Knox and Sollecito of murder after a courtordered review of the DNA evidence cast serious doubts over the main DNA evidence linking the two to the crime.

While the court won’t release its reasons

for clearing the two for weeks, the discrediting of the DNA evidence was believed to have been the fatal blow to the prosecution’s case in the absence of a clear motive.

The jury had two options to acquit: determining there wasn’t enough evidence to uphold the conviction or that the pair simply didn’t commit the crime. The jury determined the latter, clearing Knox and Sollecito completely.

Even if prosecutors appeal the acquittal to see KNOX page 14

NEW YORK (AP) — Protests against Wall Street spread across the country Monday as demonstrators marched on Federal Reserve banks and camped out in parks from Los Angeles to Portland, Maine, in a show of anger over the wobbly economy and what they see as corporate greed.

In Manhattan, hundreds of protesters dressed as corporate zombies in white face paint lurched past the New York Stock Exchange clutching fistfuls of fake money.

In Chicago, demonstrators pounded drums in the city’s financial district. Others pitched tents or waved protest signs at passing cars in Boston, St. Louis and Kansas City, Mo. The arrests of 700 protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge over the weekend galvanized a slice of discontented America, from college students worried about their job prospects to middle-age workers who have been recently laid off.

Some protesters likened themselves to the tea party movement — but with a liberal bent — or to the Arab Spring demonstrators who brought down their rulers in the Middle East.

“I’ve felt this way for a long time. I’ve really just kind of been waiting for a movement to come along that I thought would last and have some resonation within the community,” said Steven Harris, a laid-off see PROTESTS page 12

Steinman survived until Friday. Three days later, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine.

Steinman’s wife, Claudia, said the family had planned to disclose his death Monday —

only to discover an email to his cellphone from the Nobel committee.

Friends and colleagues were stunned by his death.

S.C. GOP trumps Florida by moving primary up COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina Republicans will hold their first-in-the-South presidential primary on Jan. 21 to trump Florida’s rule-breaking jump ahead in the party’s calendar.

State GOP Chairman Chad Connelly made the announcement Monday. It caps days of speculation about how the state party would respond to Florida’s decision to hold its primary on Jan. 31.

South Carolina has been poised to hold its primary in late February.

Florida’s early date breaks Republican National Committee rules and would cause the state to lose half its delegates to next summer’s national convention.

South Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada and Iowa have been conferring on how to deal with Florida’s move.

South Carolina’s move will likely make the 2012 primary calendar look a lot like 2008, with Iowa’s caucuses just days into the year.

CONWAY, N.H. (AP) — Authorities say the body of a 31-year-old New Hampshire man has been recovered from the Swift River in Conway.

New Hampshire Fish and Game says the drowning victim had been visiting the White Mountain National Forest with his wife and friends Sunday and stopped near the river’s Lower Falls in Albany. It was raining,

and the man slipped and fell into the river, washing downstream by the fast-moving water.

Authorities searched into the evening but had to stop when it got dark. Search efforts resumed Monday morning, and the victim’s body was recovered Monday afternoon.The victim’s name will be released after other relatives are notified.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court began its new term Monday by weighing who gets to object when a state makes Medicaid cuts — and soon is likely to plunge into a far bigger health dispute.

That’s the challenge to President Barack Obama’s historic health care overhaul.

For now, patients and providers are squaring off against California and the Obama administration to argue they should have the right to sue in federal court when a state cuts its payment rates in the Medicaid program for poor Americans. The state and federal governments argue the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, not a federal judge, gets to make the call.

There was no consensus apparent among the justices.

Before opening-day arguments began, the court rejected more than 1,800 appeals that had piled up during the justices’ three-month summer break, including one from California jail officials who forced a Muslim woman to remove her head scarf and another from fried-chicken giant KFC Corp. objecting to taxes it has to pay in Iowa.

Chief Justice John Roberts also congratulated Antonin Scalia on 25 years on the court, noting that Scalia listened to his first argument as a justice on the first Monday in October in 1986. “The place has not been the same since,” Roberts said.

The term opened with high anticipation because the justices seem likely to take up the health care overhaul now that both the administration and opponents of the law have filed Supreme Court appeals.

The justices could decide as early as mid-November whether to hear the case, a timetable that probably would mean a high court hearing in the spring and a decision by late June.

Monday’s case does not directly implicate the overhaul, although the expansion of Medicaid is a key element in the law’s aim of extending coverage to more than 30 million Americans who are now without health insurance. Medicaid costs are shared by the federal and state governments.

Faced with large budget deficits, the California legislature passed a law reducing Medicaid reimbursement rates by up to 10 percent. The Medicaid law says states have to maintain reimbursement rates that are sufficient to get providers to take part.

States must submit proposed rate reductions to the federal Health and Human Services Department but the law is silent about whether private parties can go to court to keep payments from going down.

In this case, California put the some of the lower rates in effect before submitting them to HHS. Multiple lawsuits followed, and federal courts in California stepped in to block the new rates.

Teaching as a subversive activity Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner wrote “Teaching as a subversive activity” in 1969 and the following is an excerpt from that book: What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that Washington never told a lie, I learned that soldiers seldom die, I learned that everybody’s free, That’s what the teacher said to me, And that’s what I learned in school today, That’s what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that policemen are my friends, I learned that justice never ends, I learned that murderers die for their crimes, Even if we make a mistake sometimes, And that’s what I learned in school today, That’s what I learned in school.

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

I learned our government must be strong, It’s always right and never wrong, Our leaders are the finest men, And we elect them again and again, And that’s what I learned in school today, That’s what I learned in school What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

What did you learn in school today, Dear little boy of mine?

I learned that war is not so bad, I learned about the great ones we have had, We fought in Germany and in France, And someday I might get my chance, And that’s what I learned in school today, That’s what I learned in school Postman and Weingartner used this example to make a case for subversive teaching. While this quote is not flattering to education, we have come quite a way since it was written, especially at the elementary school level. Schools today are increasing their efforts to counter fear, hate, prejudice and violence.

Good education provides what students need but not always what students, parents and society may want. When schools provide what constituents need but might not want, that is called subversion. For example, when marketers try to convince young people to smoke, drink,

have sex and buy certain products that will make them more popular, schools teach them media literacy, substance abuse prevention, abstinence and safe sex all of which could be viewed as subversive. When parents teach children to be racist or homophobic, schools become subversive by teaching tolerance and cultural diversity. When society stresses conformity to authority and schools teach critical thinking, that’s also subversive. When the media teach that violence is acceptable, schools teach nonviolence, conflict resolution and peace education – all subversive. When children believe the U.S. is better than all other countries, and schools teach that we are all citizens of planet earth, that’s subversive. When children believe that the environment was intended for our domination of it, and they are taught ecoliteracy and ecojustice in schools, that is subversive. When children believe that competition is all important, and we teach them cooperative learning, that is subversive. Schools are under great external pressure by those people who see education limited to pledging allegiance, taking standardized tests, memorizing disconnected facts and indoctrinating for cultural correctness. Subversive teachers, on the other hand, want to produce informed citizens who can care about others, think for themselves, solve problems and follow ethical principles.

The word subversive has many meanings one of which is “Seeking or intended to subvert an established system or institution”. Subversives, as they are viewed in the spirit of this column, include critically thinking teachers, human rights workers, social justice seekers and peace advocates. The purpose of subversion in education is to advance the human condition by producing intelligent, thinking, caring, creative, ethical, imaginative, competent citizens who can solve the problems of society in ways that create the greatest good for all.

Postman and Wiengarten noted that “one of the tenets of a democratic society is that men be allowed to think and express themselves freely on any subject, even to the point of speaking out against the idea of a democratic society. To the extent that our schools are instruments of such a society, they must develop in the young not only an awareness of this freedom but a will to exercise it, and the intellectual power and perspective to do so effectively.”

Professor James Gustave Speth, a Rhodes scholar, graduate of Yale Law School, and co-founder of the Natural Resources Defense Council , developed a list of problems in the U.S. that could be solved with more subversive see next page

LETTERS Police commissioners violating law by paying themselves stipends To the editor, This November, the voter will be deciding the makeup of the Laconia Police Commission. Individuals who run for office should know how or if they will be compensated. The Police Department appropriation includes a $3,600 salary for Police Commission.

Apparently, at some point, a salary for a commissioner appeared in the amount of $1,200.00, (3 @ $1,200.00 = $3,600.00). However, the appropriation conflicts with state law as no supportive legislative empowers local authorities to implement a “salary”.

To the contrary, N.H. state law is not ambiguous, RSA 105-C:6 Compensation. – “Police commissioners shall serve without compensation but shall be reimbursed for all actual expenses incurred in the discharge of official duties”.

Accordingly, in order for a commissioner to be compensated for any expense incurred in the discharge of official duties, a voucher must be submitted to the City’s fiscal officer and approved by the treasurer. The City Charter Section 10:03 makes no mention of a salary or expenses, nor is any dollar amounts indicated. Does habit make it legal?

The duties of a commission, as empowered by the legislature, “is to appoint such police personnel, including police officers, staff, constables and superior officers, as they deem necessary and to fix such persons’ compensation. The commissioners shall make and enforce all rules necessary for

the operation of the police force in the manner most beneficial to the public interest. The commissioners may at any time remove police personnel for just cause and after a hearing satisfying the requirements of due process, which cause shall be specified in an order of removal except that special police officers appointed and designated as such shall serve at the pleasure of the commission and may be removed for other than just cause”.

Other than those appropriations regarding personnel, the commission has no power over budget line items involving: guns, electronic or communications equipment, vehicles or buildings. (RSA 105-C:4) The duties/powers of the commission have been embellished over the years; a) the commission started to present the department’s budget to the city manager and council, a responsibility of a department head, i.e., the police chief; b) The chairman of the commission signed grant applications as the appropriating authority, a process that can only be initiated with the City Council.

It’s time government starts to comply with the laws whether they are the law maker or the enforcer.

George Dzujna will make a great city councilor for Franklin To the editor, This letter is addressed to all the City of Franklin voters in the upcoming elections for mayor, City Council and School Board on Oct 4, 2011.

From personal experience, I can tell you that George Dzujna will make a great city councilor for this fine city.

He currently volunteers countless hours of his own time from beautifying the city with flowers to teaching kids and adults the game of tennis. He was a leader in the recent improvements at Odell Park, which was rededicated last year.

George and his lovely wife, Chris, pour their hearts and souls into making Franklin a better place to live and work. Although I do not live in Franklin, I work at the hospital and got to know George and Chris as they both volunteer at the hospital gift shop. I think George Dzujna is the right choice for the Franklin City Council. Because actions speak louder than words, I will tell you George is truly a man of action.

LETTERS Here’s why people around the world are rejecting smart meters To the editor, The electric smart meter program raises concern of privacy in our homes. I believe data collection capabilities from these meters violate constitutional privacy protection. I need to feel safe and secure in my home — 4th amendment rights.

In California, 46 governments representing more than 2.5-million people have gone on record demanding a halt to smart meter installation. Our next door neighbor in Maine has an opt-out policy with their electric companies.

Why do people want to opt out? The main reason is because it is dangerous to the health and well being of our citizens. On May 31, the World Health Organization declared non-ionizing radiation of the kind emitted by smart meters, as a class 2B carcinogenic, the same category as DDT, based on cell phone brain tumors studies. The journal of neuroscience concluded that EMF hypersensitivity can occur as a bonafide environmentally inducible neurological syndrome.

Here’s why people, communities and governments around the world are rejecting smart electric meters: radio frequency interference caus-

“Supporting the Lakes Region”

ing malfunctioning of wireless equipment such as wi-fi and Netflix; RF interference malfunction of medical equipment such as pacemakers and wireless insulin pumps; RF spikes causing appliances to break; reports linking the meters to instances of fires, explosions,and surges; health effects like migraines, nausea,vomiting, muscle spasms, heart palpitations,and sleeplessness caused by intense bursts of a RF radiation that has just been classified as a possible carcinogenic — in the same category as lead, engine exhaust and DDT, as noted above; cyber security breaches; and excessive billing and interception of personal identity information.

In conclusion, it should be my choice to opt out due to health concerns, privacy, security and my need to feel safe and secure. This is the American way.

Besides I liked the analog meter. This new system in my estimation is dangerous and will eliminate jobs. Everybody should do their homework and look up dangers of Smart Meters.

Why did our N.H.-Coop not tell us about these issues?

LETTERS DDT saved more than 500-million lives during time it was used To the editor, Many have already responded to Professor Sandy’s latest column that again seemed so sorely lacking in the critical thinking that he claims as one of the hallmarks of his teachings as well as his writings. Perhaps his problem is the same one that beset Anita Dunn, President Obama’s former communications director. She sited Mother Teresa and Mao Zedong as the two philosophers she relied on most. Likewise, in Professor Sandy’s long list of those he sought truth from, were some great people and some not so great. One of the not so great, in my opinion, is Bertrand Russell. He is one creepy dude that the professor wrote about some time ago. I checked him out and wrote about him. He believed Israel was the one perpetrating wanton violence and not the Palestinians. Also said, “I would never die for my beliefs because I might be wrong”.

If he were still alive, I’m guessing he wouldn’t embrace Tea Party types.

Here’s another good one from ole Bert, “Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons”.

Yesirree, no “Live Free or Die” in this atheist, pacifier’s blood.

Today, I checked out another person on the professor’s list. Rachel Carson, because I knew she was involved in getting the environmental movement started. Her 1962 book, “Silent Spring” was one of the major motivating forces that prompted the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban DDT in 1972. Yes, DDT can cause harm to the environment if used recklessly. It’s overuse did cause harm to some birds back then, though it didn’t kill as many birds as are being mutilated by the environmentally friendly wind turbines of the 21st century. U.S. National Academy of Sciences estimated that DDT saved more than 500-million lives during the time it was widely used. According to the World Health Organization, worldwide malaria infects 300-million people. About one million die of malaria each year. Most of the victims are in Africa and most are children.

Spraying a house with DDT costs about $1.44 per year while alternatives cost five, 10 or even 20 times

as much. Tragically, too costly for most poor, third world countries. The ban on DDT by environmental lobby groups has caused the death of millions of people in places like Sri Lanka to this very day. Apparently birds and shrubs are higher on the preservation scale than poor people to the “gang of green”. Dr. Charles Wurster, an opponent of DDT reportedly said, “People are the cause of all the problems. We have too many of them. We need to get rid of some of them, and this (referring to malaria deaths) is as good a way as any”. A statement that would likely be enthusiastically endorsed by Margaret Sanger and John Holdren, President Obama’s “science czar” since they weren’t too fond of having the planet “overpopulated” with “undesirables”.

Dr. Walter E. Williams has been very perplexed regarding the Congressional Black Caucus and the NAACP. He remarks, “ They profess concern over the plight of poor people around the world while at the same time accepting or promoting DDT bans and the needless suffering and death that follow.

Mosquito-borne malaria not only has devastating health effects but stifles economic growth”. Is it a coincidence that stifling economic growth seems to be one of the primary outcomes of the environmental movement and modern day liberalism that continues to adversely affect the livelihood and well being of people everywhere?

I can only hope against hope that Professor Sandy will expound on his “critical thinking” regarding his inclusion of Rachel Carson on his list of esteemed people he holds in high regard. I know the professor cares deeply for the plight of the poor and the much maligned minority populations. It would logically follow that Rachel Carson should be high on his list of despicable people for the millions of deaths to those populations that she has been indirectly responsible for. I am truly sorry Professor Sandy. Though I try to keep an open mind and comprehend your columns, this one yet again left me with my mouth wide open and confused like the confounded AFLAC duck.

Okay Alton teachers’ contract & remove demoralizing shroud To the editor, The Alton Teachers’ Association is a part of the community that values public schools and learning, despite the many obstacles to successful education. Some of these obstacles include a gridlocked political arena, profoundly limited time, and the obvious challenges of the world’s economic situation.

Another important challenge is the teacher contract for the Alton School District. This year, teachers have returned to work facing a 2-percent pay cut due to recent legislative modifications to the retirement system, although for a second year in a row there are also no pay or step increases.

This lack of a contract creates fear,

uncertainty, and hardship for our teachers. It is difficult to attract and retain quality educators when, for example, teachers in their third year of teaching are being paid as first-year teachers.

This demoralizing shroud of uncertainty has cast its pall since a successor contract failed at the ballot in March, 2010. In spite of it the educators of SAU 72 have continued to work with professionalism and integrity. We ask voters to approve the new contract for teachers. We ask Alton to support the school and to support the teachers so we may surmount the many obstacles to successful education.

Richard Brown, President The Alton Teachers’ Association

LETTERS TEA Party demands rejection of special interests, right and left To the editor, Jim Hightower’s recent column titled, “Playing politics with humanitarian aid”, (see Jim Hightower.com) is just another anti-TEA Party screed falsely attempting to link it with the Republican Party. The article can be summarized: Republicans and TEA Partiers cannot complain about Democrat wasteful and irresponsible spending which rewards Democrat supporters because Republicans similarly spend to reward Republican supporters.

The TEA Party objects, equally strenuously, to wasteful and irresponsible spending by both parties.

The TEA Party believes that politicians in Washington are only authorized to raise and spend money to pay for constitutionally authorized functions. Politicians are not authorized to tax or borrow money to reward friends or to buy political support.

Government is a terribly wasteful doing almost anything. There are no natural forces compelling efficiency or assessing value versus cost. Government bureaucracies became special interest groups which grow without the competition forcing businesses to require efficient, effective, and valuable spending.

Thus, politicians continue supporting ever more costly inefficient, ineffective, and often counter-productive programs.

E.g., despite spending hundreds of billions the Department of Energy has overseen increased, not reduced, dependence on foreign oil! We’d be better off WITHOUT a Department of Energy.

Additionally, special interest groups surround federal and state governments arguing for their interests at the expense of the taxpayer. What else explains spending millions to teach Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly?

In fact, hundreds of billions are spent against the overwhelming wishes of the American people. Given a vote, Americans would eliminate all subsidies including oil, ethanol, agriculture, alternate energy, etc., all

bailouts, all government actions picking winners and losers, all pork barrel spending, all earmarks, and all redundant, failing, low-value, and counterproductive programs. But, politicians fund these programs because special interest groups reward them for wasting hard-earned taxpayer money.

In 2010 the TEA Party worked hard to replace traditional self-interested politicians with a new kind of representative.

We fought to elect people committed to the people’s interests, to restoring our country’s greatness, and especially to restoring fiscal responsibility.

Everyone should realize that our country is in trouble. Traditional politicians keep kicking problems down the road.

The TEA Party demands that politicians ignore both leftist and rightist special interests and start addressing our country’s problems. The TEA Party opposes politicians of any party who continue the disastrous policies of the last 50 years. It will support politicians of any party who are dedicated to returning to the policies that made our country the greatest in human history: personal responsibility, small Constitutionally authorized and fiscally responsible government, the rule of law equally applied to rich and poor regardless of political influence, and opportunity for all to work for their dreams.

The TEA Party is dedicated to restoring the policies favoring life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and our country’s financial well-being. If you agree that we owe our children and subsequent generations a better future than the debt ridden one we have currently created, if President Kennedy’s words, “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” stir you, then you should join a TEA Party and become part of the effort to put our country back on the right path.

Shouldn’t Carroll Co. Republican Committee know the laws?

To the editor, N.H. has been known for a government without corruption. How sad it is to see that both of our Representatives to the U.S. Congress are on the 14 most corrupt members of Congress list as compiled by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW). Perhaps Congressmen

ernment will work for N.H. We also have recent news about the Carroll County Republican Committee. On September 19 the N.H. Attorney General’s office issued a cease and desist order for the failure to comply with N.H. election laws during the last election.

GILFORD — The School Board reviewed and accepted the time line and interview process that will lead to the next high school and elementary school principals.

Ideally, Superintendent Kent Hemingway said he would like to have the two selection committees — each comprised of a combination of students, parents, community members and a representative of the school board — ready to recommend the top two or three candidates before the third week of January.

The search for the high school principal will include Gilmanton School Board member Frank Weeks and Gilford School Board member Rae Mello-Andrews.

Gilford School Board member Paul Blandford will represent the school board on the elementary search panel.

He said he would like to put out a public request for any community members or parents who would like to serve on either selection committee this month and publicly post for the two principal positions by November.

Hemingway felt that the committee interviews should be done during the first week of January and that each committee is ready with their top two or three candidates enabling the district to preform the required background and reference checks before the third week in January.

“My goal is to have the recommendations to the school board in February,” said Hemingway.

RIVERA from page one allegedly entered a Lake Street apartment on June 6, 2010 with the intent of robbing Rivera.

Police have said Noucas allegedly had a knife and Hart had a baseball bat when they allegedly entered the apartment, but during the ensuing fight, Rivera was able to overcome both men. Hart was stabbed to death and Noucas’s throat was slashed.

Noucas survived when a third party, Julie Sallies, who has already pleaded guilty to her role in the botched robbery, drove him to the Meredith Police station and left him out front while she returned to Lake Street to try and find Hart, who was her boyfriend. from preceding page their money came from. This committee should know the election laws; it wasn’t too long ago that former Speaker of the House, Representative Gene Chandler, violated election laws.

Both former high school Principal Ken Wiswall and Elementary School Principal Jack Billings left the district at the end of the 2010-11 school year.

The high school if being run by Bob Pederson on a one-year principal’s contract while current assistant elementary school principal Kara Lamontagne is acting principal for this school year.

In other action, Lamontagne told the school board that there are three additional students enrolling this week and next in the elementary school. One student is in the first grade and two will be third graders.

The district has seen a sudden influx in elementary school students this year and reassigned a number of teacher duties in an emergency session earlier this year to accommodate a fifth kindergarten class.

With 91 students before the new enrollments, the third grade has five classes, with with at least 17 students in each class.

Chair Kurt Webber said the additions are stretching the boundaries of ideal class sizes, especially for the youngest students, but are within limits at this point.

Gilford Elementary School has 374 students — 70 kindergarteners in five classes, 55 first graders with three classes, 75 second graders with four classrooms, 91 third graders with five classes and 83 fourth graders with four classes. The number do not include the three new students.

Each month, each principal presents enrollment numbers to the School Board.

Sallies is serving a five-to-10 year sentence in the N.H. State Prison for Women for her role in the botched robbery and has been ordered to reimburse Rivera the $800 in cash stolen from him and to pay $21,593 to the Neighborhood Commonwealth Insurance for his medical bills.

The nature of Rivera’s injuries is not known.

Rivera, who lives in Brockton, Mass. did not want to return to New Hampshire to testify despite being granted a waiver of immunity from O’Neill. The County Attorney’s Office petitioned a Plymouth (Massachusetts) County Judge to compel Rivera’s appearance and he is in the Lakes Region but didn’t not enter O’Neill’s courtroom.

As to his competency to testify, O’Neill said he would do what the court system calls a “Rule 601” interview with Rivera but in a closed courtroom and only when and if Rivera is called as a witness.

Andrew Winters represents Noucas and said he, too, would like to question Rivera directly but see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 4, 2011— Page 9

M’borough petitioners ask state board to insist assessment process be more transparent

BY MICHAEL KITCH THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MOULTONBOROUGH — After the Board of Tax and Land Appeals heard the appeal of the 2010 assessment filed by more 125 residents last week, Janet Cramer, who with Rick Heath was a lead petitioner, reported that the board was “sympathetic, but it’s not clear that they will be able to do anything about it.”

The BTLA is expected to issue its report within 60 days.

The appeal, filed in February, followed two assessments in 2010 conducted by Vision Appraisal, the first in July and the second in August. The first FRANCONA from page one a position on the coaching staff and Luke Demko, the former standout at Gilford High School, would remain as pitching coach.

“We can assure Francona will have a championship team and a harmonious clubhouse,” Crane said, adding that he has filled 23 of the 28 spots on the roster for next season and expects to sign the remaining five before the month is out. Dylan Kelly, the All-Star catcher from Middle Georgia College, and Regan Flaherty, a first baseman and outfielders from Vanderbilt University, who helped lead the Muskrats to the Eastern Division crown this year, will return with hopes of repeating in 2012.

While the Chicago White Sox dragged their feet, the media was abuzz with the Muskrats’ offer. “It’s taken on a life of its own,” Crane said. ESPN, NESN and WEEI Radio, the Red Sox network, picked up the story along with a number of baseball blogs.

Francona managed the Red Sox for eight seasons and to two World Series titles. His annual salary was in the $4-million range.

CHARETTE from page one of the property south of Right Way Path, an area of approximately 75 acres that houses most of the buildings on the site. He said that the 67-acres near the Robbie Mills Sports Complex was likely destined to continue serving as a parking area for athletic events, particularly for the Laconia Muskrats during the New England Collegiate Baseball League season. Likewise, he indicated there was considerable support for leaving the 70-acres north of Right Way Path undeveloped or putting it to agricultural uses.

Earlier this year, the Legislature offered the entire property to the city for $10-million. In negotiating with the state to acquire the property, the city believes that the environmental conditions on the site, which are largely confined to the developed portion of the property, and the cost of correcting them will effect its ultimate value.

An initial environmental assessment of the site

by Credere, LLC of Westbrook, Maine indicated that there were typical but significant concerns, most of them confined to this part of the property. Soils and and groundwater are likely contaminated by petroleum products and possibly other hazardous materials and asbestos, lead paint and other contaminants are present in the buildings.

On Thursday representatives of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will tour the site with city officials in anticipation of considering the city’s application for a grant through the agency’s Brownfields Program to undertake a more thorough environmental assessment of the property. The assessment would provide the information and data required to estimate the cost of cleaning up the site.

— Michael Kitch from preceding page O’Neill refused, saying that if either the defense or the prosecution wants to ask Rivera a question regarding the competency hearing they can submit their questions to him for his consideration.

He agreed to allow Temple (Rivera’s lawyer) to be present during his interview and to be with Rivera throughout his testimony, should he be called to testify.

assessment, based on sales data drawn from the 2009 tax year, raised concerns among waterfront property owners, whose values jumped as much as 30-percent. Following meetings with the Board of Selectmen and representatives of Vision Appraisal, the second assessment, using sales data from the prior two years, produced what were considered more reasonable results, but still left some taxpayers questioning the process.

When neither the selectmen nor the appraisers could clarify how the values were calculated, the taxpayers lodged their appeal. In a PowerPoint presentation, Cramer and Heath told the BTLA that the petitioners sought a transparent, understandable and equitable assessment reflecting fair market values.

The petitioners noted that assessed values and sales prices of waterfront homes matched closely in the 2009 assessment but without any apparent

explanation diverged significantly with the initial assessment a year later.

They acknowledged that disparities in values diminished between the first assessment in July and the second in August. The first assessment, based on 98 sales, reduced the value of 4,390 parcels, or 60-percent of the total, while the second assessment, based on 166 sales, reduced the value of 4,225 parcels, or 57-percent of the total. In July, the total valuation rose one-percent and a month later it fell one-percent. Waterfront homes underwent the largest change of value from one assessment to the next — from a total increase of six -percent to three-percent.

Offering data indicating that the average selling price of single-family homes in Moultonbrough fell 20-percent between 2008 and 2009, from $558,059 to $443,785, the petitioners asked why the value of waterfront homes increased using only the 2009 see next page

Ignoring rain, volunteers help Rotarians plant 5,000 tulip bulbs in downtown park

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CANS FOR BOY SCOUT TROOP 68!

Drop of bins are located at: (Former) Old Time Walters Market D'Angelos Sandwich Shop St. Joseph Church (parking lot)

For years, our local community has been donating their aluminum cans to Troop 68.

Funds from these cans help maintain membership, purchase equipment, support outings, and so much more!

Boy Scout Troop 68, Laconia Thanks you for your continued support!

LACONIA — Some two dozen volunteers showed up despite a steady drizzle Saturday morning to lend a helping hand to a Laconia Rotary Club downtown beautification project in Stewart Park.

By late morning the willing workers, not afraid of getting their hands dirty for a good cause, had planted 5,000 tulip bulbs which will provide a spectacular spring display for the city’s downtown area for years to come.

“I like the fact that the tulips will be here for years to come,’’ said Emily Gray, 12, who volunteered along with her friend, Julia Jones, also 12, who was there with her mother, Jeanne Jones.

“I think it’s nice that we’re helping the town plant these bulbs. It’s really going to be beautiful,’’ said Julia, who said that she was excited about the project after her mother had told her about it after reading about in The Laconia Daily Sun. Another volunteer who had found out about the project through the newspaper was Gretchen Shortway, a former restaurant owner who made history in the 1990s when she became the first woman to take classes at a famous French cooking school in Paris, who brought along some goodies she had baked to help feed the workers.

“The story I read said that Belknap Landscaping was providing coffee at their tent. So I thought a little food would be nice,’’ said Shortway, dressed in jeans with a denim jacket who joked that she was about to get her “designer clothes’’ dirty by helping with the planting.

Dale Squires of Belknap Landscaping said that the bulbs were purchased by the Rotarians through Ginger WellsKay of Garden Artisans, who also

designed the plan for planting the bulbs, which had to be done carefully so as to not disturb the underground irrigation system installed during the renovation project his company completed earlier this year at Stewart Park.

The park, dedicated in 1973 and named after Paul Stewart, who chaired the Laconia Housing and Redevelopment Authority which oversaw the city’s urban renewal project, had deteriorated in recent years with it’s benches, trash receptacles, water fountain and riverside fencing all in need of repair.

The renovation included new 8-foot, multi-use walkways, comfortable strategically placed seating, new planting beds full of native plant selections along with restored turf and pruned trees.

Rotarian Gary Dionne and volunteer Ralph Sellars of Tilton, a prolific bulb plant grower, worked in the lower end of the park where a portable electric generator provided by Rotraian Warren Clement enabled them to use an electric powered auger drill to create holes for planting hundred of bulbs.

Abe Dadian, another Rotarian, used a battery-powered drill but had to replace the auger after it twisted and broke.

Other volunteers, like Randy Bullerwell, Judy Nelson, Bob Sawyer and Debbie Frawley-Drake, relied on conventional garden tools for digging six inches into the ground, the depth needed to ensure that the bulbs won’t be pushed to the surface by frost.

Clement said that he was pleased to see so many volunteers turn out on a rainy day and help out with the project.

“That little rain didn’t hurt us a bit.

There was a good show of community spirit despite the elements. When people see it next spring they’re going to be glad they did it,’’ said Clement.

Moultonborough lands Dover’s city planner MOULTONBOROUGH — A Milton man had been appointed town planner by the Selectboard.

Bruce W. Woodruff has left his position as city planner/zoning administrator in Dover. His first day in Moultonborough was Monday.

The search process lasted several months, with applications coming in from across the region and country.

Woodruff previously served in Dover for almost 22 years and, prior to that as assistant town engineer and subsequently zoning administrator for Hudson.

He earned his Bachelor’s degree with honors from Franklin Pierce University. He was trained in civil engineering through the U.S. Air Force.

In accepting the position, Mr. Woodruff said, “I am dedicating myself to listening and learning to find out exactly what the community wants for its future so the proper framework of land use regulations and policies may be crafted that can safeguard what Moultonborough is while solving any existing and future issues and problems.”

Joel R. Mudgett, chairman of the Selectboard congratulated the screening panel on its efforts and said, “Of our several finalists, Mr. Woodruff clearly excelled in his understanding of the character and needs of our town and how to use his planning skills to help preserve that character while addressing today’s issues. We look forward to benefiting from his extensive training and experience.”

The initial applications were screened by a seven member panel representing town land use boards, and area planners and managers. Finalists went through a rigorous one day final interview with key staff, participating in a mock site assessment conducted by a professional planner retained by the town, and a presentation and an interview with the Selectboard. In addition an extensive reference check was undertaken.

David Holden, formerly the city planner in Portsmouth, has been serving as interim planner as the town awaited its new hire to be named.

N.H. Safe Boaters group now headed by M’borough man CONCORD — Moultonborough resident John Harrington has been tapped to succeed Scott Verdonck as president of the grassroots boating organization Safe Boaters of New Hampshire.

Harrington has decades of boating experience on New Hampshire’s inland and coastal waterways and is a strong supporter of boater education. He has spent years instructing young boaters on the proper way to handle a vessel in his role as a scoutmaster, passing along to the next generation the joys of boating along with the knowledge and expertise that he himself learned as a scout.

Harrington is also a member of the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron where he is qualified to conduct Vessel Safety Checks on recreational boats to help the owner of each vessel be assured he or she has the proper and functioning safety equipment on board. He is also president of the Moultonborough Snowmobile Club.

Harrington takes over as president of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire at a time when austerity is the key word in Concord and he will continue to work with other boating safety organizations, the Marine Patrol, legislators and others to ensure that safety on New Hampshire’s waterways is not compromised.

Safe Boaters of New Hampshire took the lead in,

first, fighting the enactment of speed limits on Lake Winnipesaukee and, then, pushing for a more lenient speed limit on “The Broads” section of the lake. Both efforts were ultimately unsuccessful but observers credit the organization with being a political force to be reckoned with when it comes to lake use issues.

Verdonck, who has been president of Safe Boaters of New Hampshire since its founding in 2009, will continue to have a key role in the organization. He has been named political director and spokesman for the organization, utilizing his experience in Concord to help ensure that safe boating in New Hampshire does not fall victim to overzealous budget cutting.

Bob Flannery of Alton takes over as vice president of the organization. He has grown up around boats and on the water and he is an experienced sailor and power boater spending years boating up and down the East Coast and in the Caribbean. He is also a member of the Lakes Region Sail and Power Squadron as well as a trustee at the NH Boat Museum in Wolfeboro.

Chris Hazel takes over as the secretary and Jason Pridham continues in his role as treasurer.

“With this new leadership team in place Safe Boaters of New Hampshire has positioned itself to continue to advocate for boater safety through education and effective legislation,” said Verdonck.

Daily Sun apologizes for headline error under quilt exhibit photo A poorly-typed headline that ran in Saturday’s edition read: “Huge Alzheimer’s exhibit feared at Belknap Mill Quilters show.” The writer’s intention was to announce that the impressive exhibit

would be “featured”, not feared, at the 34th Annual Belknap Mill Quilter’s Guild Show, which was held October 1 and 2 at the Lake Opechee Conference Center. We apologize to Guild members for the error.

SKIPPER from page 2 individuals would have been in the water,” Beal said. “You can only speculate from there.”

Masi, 45, said he did what he had to to keep people alive but it’s not much consolation with the death of his good friend Douglas Isenberg, who died at the scene. The two had been close friends since second grade, Masi said.

“I hear they’re calling me a hero, but my best friend is gone,” he said.

Masi has used a wheelchair since he was paralyzed four years ago in an accident while working as a house builder.

On Friday, he and three friends from Biddeford took his Grady-White boat to a fishing spot where they anchored for a few hours on a beautiful fall day.

Around 3 p.m., the wind and seas kicked up, and the boat started taking on water.

The boat’s anchor line got tangled in the propeller, and the battery then went dead, preventing Masi from driving the boat to safety, he said.

That’s when he instructed the others to put on their survival suits before getting on the radio and transmitting a distress call with his situation and location.

Masi didn’t have time to put on his survival suit before the boat went under, putting on only a life jacket.

Once the boat rolled over, Masi told his friends to stay together, stay close to the boat and use a cooler to help keep them afloat, said Daricus Hunter, who was on board.

“I’m alive because of one of my best friends,” Hunter said.

Besides the Coast Guard, the mayday was heard by people on board a power yacht about 5 miles away. The Lady Erica, built by Sabre Yachts, was on its maiden voyage after launching earlier Friday.

Sabre Yachts CEO Aaron Crawford and his wife were on board with the owners, a man and woman from Maryland, and a fifth person.

They altered course and headed toward the Job Site 2, finding the boat at the coordinates that Masi had given on the mayday, presumably because it was anchored, Crawford said.

When the Lady Erica arrived, two of the men were in the water with Masi, and a fourth was on the hull.

The people on the Lady Erica threw out a line with a buoy to Masi and one of the other men and pulled them on board. When they threw the line back out to Isenberg, Crawford could see he wasn’t responsive.

“I yelled to him, but when he didn’t respond I dove in,” Crawford said.

When he brought Isenberg back to the boat, attempts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.

Masi said the last thing the 47-year-old Isenberg did was try to push him in the water toward the Lady Erica and safety.

“I heard him saying, ‘I can’t, I can’t, I can’t, I can’t,’” Masi said. “I screamed at him and I said, ‘Douglas, we’re OK. Help is here. Pull yourself together. You’re OK.’” A lobster boat named Miss Konduct plucked the fourth man from the hull as the Coast Guard arrived on the scene. Masi’s boat was towed back to shore and is now at his home.

The Maine medical examiner’s office has not determined what caused Isenberg’s death, but Masi and Hunter said he may have had a heart attack. Isenberg’s greatest fear had been that something would happen at sea to put Masi in harm’s way, Hunter said.

Isenberg’s son, 17-year-old Joseph Isenberg, died three weeks ago of a head injury suffered in a skateboard accident. The teen lived with his mother in Ayer, Mass.

PROTESTS from page 2 truck driver in Kansas City.

Harris and about 20 other people were camped out in a park across the street from the Kansas City Federal Reserve building, their site strewn with sleeping bags, clothes and handmade signs. Some passing drivers honked in support.

The Occupy Wall Street protests started on Sept.

17 with a few dozen demonstrators who tried to pitch tents in front of the New York Stock Exchange. Since then, hundreds have set up camp in a park nearby

and have become increasingly organized, lining up medical aid and legal help and printing their own newspaper, the Occupied Wall Street Journal.

About 100 demonstrators were arrested on Sept.

24 and some were pepper-sprayed. On Saturday police arrested 700 on charges of disorderly conduct and blocking a public street as they tried to march over the Brooklyn Bridge. Police said they took five more protesters into custody on Monday, though it was unclear whether they had been charged with any crime.

Dancers Meagan Hiltz, John Francis, Annie Forts and Bev Lapham will take part in the 2nd Annual Dancing with Lakes Region Stars charity event will be held at the Inter-Lakes Community Auditorium on November 4. (Roger Amsden/for the Laconia Daily Sun)

Local partners begin rehearsing for Nov. 4’s ‘Dancing with the Lakes Region Stars’

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

MEREDITH — Teams of dancers gathered at the Meredith Bay Dance Academy on September 25 for an organizational meeting for the Second Annual Dancing With the Lakes Region Stars charity event, which will be held on Friday, Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the InterLakes Community Auditorium.

Organized by Laura Brusseau, Inter-Lakes High School social studies teacher, and Ashley May White, a dance and Zumba instructor, the initial event raised over $4,500 for the Inter-Lakes High School Habitat for Humanity Club, enabling five students to spend their February school vacation helping build a Habitat home in Denver, Colorado.

Brusseau and White sat they’re hoping for a sellout crowd for the Dancing With Stars night and have added a new twist for this event which will involve the winning team receiving half of the night’s proceeds for donation to their favorite local charity.

Among the charities the contestants will be dancing for are Keeping You Me and Memories Alive, Inter-Lakes Family Fund, Voices Against Violence, Laconia Police Department Family Fund, Got Lunch Program, Meredith Food Pantry and the Annie Up Fund.

Dancers gathered Sunday night to go over the ground rules for the competition, which include no more than 12 hours of practice time, and also received shirts donated by Body Covers of Laconia.

“We surprised a lot of people with how much money we raised at the first Dancing With the Stars,’’ said Bev Lapham of Meredith, who was a member of the winning dance team.

He runs Village Camera in Meredith and says that the event is great fun for those involved.

This time around his partner will be Annie Forts, who in 1997 with the assistance of the Moultonborough Lions Club, started the Annie Forts “Up’’ Syndrome Fund, which aids young people affected by Downs Syndrome.

Meagan Hiltz, owner of the Meredith Bay Dance Academy, was a judge at February’s event but will be dancing this time around with her fiancée, John Francis, who works at Irwin Motors in Laconia and is defensive coordinator for the Inter-Lakes High School football team.

“I couldn’t compete because I was pregnant. But now I’m really looking forward to getting out on the dance floor,’’ says Hiltz, who teaches tap, jazz, hip hop and Zumba at her dance school and also teaches at Plymouth State University and Holderness School.

White, who co-founded the Dancing With the Stars event with Brusseau, is an instructor at Lakes Region Dance in Moultonborough and a fulltime graduate student at Plymouth State University, where she’s working on a degree as a math educator.

“I’ve been dancing for 20 years.

I thought it was a great idea when Laura approached me about raising money for Habitat for Humanity with an event like this,” says White.

Brusseau, a 2004 graduate of PSU, was honored recently as part of the university’s homecoming celebration when she received the Distinguished Alumni Service Award from the Plymouth State University Alumni Association. see next page

Gilford rape suspect previously assaulted 10-year-old LACONIA (AP) — Some people in Laconia want to know why a registered sex offender was out of prison where he faces rape charges.

Michael Wayne Hilson Jr. is being held on $100,000 bail on a felony charge of aggravated felonious sexual assault.

Gilford police arrested Hilson on Thursday following an investigation into a report received on Wednesday.

He was arraigned Friday. The judge ruled that there was sufficient probable cause to sustain the allegation that Hilson raped a 35-year-old woman.

The mother of the then-10-year-old girl Hilson previously had pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting tells The Citizen that a deferred prison sentence in that case allowed Hilson to allegedly rape again.

Hilson’s lawyer retained the right to petition for a bail hearing in the future.

KNOX from page 2 Italy’s highest court, nothing in Italian law would prevent her from returning home to Seattle. An Italian lawmaker who has championed her case, Rocco Girlanda, said she was due to fly out Tuesday from Rome.

About 90 minutes after the verdict was handed down a black Mercedes carrying Knox was seen leaving the prison.

The jury upheld Knox’s conviction on a charge of slander for accusing bar owner Diya “Patrick” Lumumba of carrying out the killing. But he set the sentence at three years, meaning for time served. Knox has been in prison since Nov. 6, 2007, five days after the murder.

The Kercher family looked on grimly and a bit dazed as the verdict was read out by the judge after 11 hours of deliberations. Outside the courthouse, some of the hundreds of observers shouted, “Shame! Shame!”

“We respect the decision of the judges but we do not understand how the decision of the first trial could be so radically overturned,” the Kerchers said in a statement. “We still trust the Italian justice system and hope that the truth will eventually emerge.”

The victim’s sister, Stephanie Kercher, who was in

Perugia with her mother and brother for the verdict, lamented that Meredith “has been nearly forgotten.”

Inside the frescoed courtroom, Knox’s parents, who have regularly traveled from their home in Seattle to Perugia to visit her over the past four years, hugged their lawyers and cried with joy. Knox herself was so overwhelmed with tears that two guards tugged on her arms to escort her out of the courtroom.

One of Knox’s lawyers, Carlo della Vedova said he didn’t know when Knox would leave the country.

Knox needed to renew her passport, but it’s not clear how quickly that could be done or if the paperwork was already completed.

The trial has captivated audiences worldwide.

Knox and Sollecito, who had just begun dating, were convicted of murdering Kercher in what the lower court said began as a drug-fueled sexual assault.

Also convicted in separate proceedings was Rudy Hermann Guede, a small-time drug dealer and drifter who spent most of his life in Italy after arriving here from his native Ivory Coast. Guede was convicted in a separate fast-track procedure and saw his sentence cut to 16 years in his final appeal.

NOBEL from page 2 ment and rushed to the computer to see his name,” said Olivera J. Finn of the University of Pittsburgh.

“And this morning I saw it, and I just totally shrieked with joy,” she said. Then she heard the bad news from a friend in Singapore.

“I have been this whole morning ... out of breath like somebody punched me in the stomach,” Finn said.

Experts disagree whether Steinman’s research helped him live for 4½ years after he was diagnosed. A colleague in his lab thinks it did. The odds

of making it even a year with his type of cancer are less than 5 percent.

Nobel officials said they believed it was the first time that a laureate had died before the announcement without the committee’s knowledge.

“It is incredibly sad news,” said Nobel Foundation chairman Lars Heikensten. “We can only regret that he didn’t have the chance to receive the news he had won the Nobel Prize. Our thoughts are now with his family.”

Since 1974, the Nobel statutes don’t allow posthumous awards unless a laureate dies after the announcement but before the Dec. 10 award ceremony.

That happened in 1996 when economics winner William Vickrey died a few days after the announcement.

However, the committee said Monday that Steinman’s award would stand and that his survivors would receive his share of the $1.5 million prize.

The Canadian-born Steinman, 68, was awarded the prize along with American Bruce Beutler and French scientist Jules Hoffmann. They were honored for discoveries about the body’s disease-fighting immune system.

PLYMOUTH — The 2011 Silver Series at Plymouth State University presents singer–songwriter Lucy Kaplansky at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14 in the Smith Recital Hall.

Kaplansky started singing in Chicago bars, but barely out of high school she headed off to New York City. There she found a community of songwriters and performers including Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey and Cliff Eberhardt, and she fit right in.

With a beautiful flair for harmony, Kaplansky was a favorite singing partner and most often she found herself singing with Shawn Colvin. The New York Times easily predicted stardom for her.

Kaplansky, however, was convinced that her calling was in another direction, and left the music fast track to pursue a doctorate in psychology. Degree in hand, she worked with chronically mentally ill adults in New York, and started a private practice.

And she kept on singing, often pulled back into the studio by her friends who now had contracts with record labels. She harmonized on Colvin’s Grammywinning Steady On, on Nanci Griffith’s Lone Star State of Mind and Little Love Affairs, and on four of John Gorka’s albums. She also landed soundtrack and commercial credits.

Suddenly, Kaplansky was back in the music business full force, with an international touring schedule that helped her establish a farreaching fan base, and numerous albums to her credit. Last year she recorded a hugely successful acoustic folk album, Red Horse, with Eliza Gilkyson and Gorka.

Tickets are $30 for adults, $28 for seniors and $15 for youth at the Silver Center Box Office, 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869; or online at silver.plymouth.edu.

Science Center focusing on NH’s largest rodents HOLDERNESS — Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is hosting a very special day Sunday, October 9 from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. focusing on three of New Hampshire’s largest and most fascinating rodents; beaver, porcupine, and woodchuck.

In addition to seeing all the many animals along the Gephart Exhibit Trail, visitors will be treated to special Up Close to Animals presentations throughout the day featuring a live beaver, porcupine, and woodchuck.

Visitors will learn how beavers make dams and lodges and survive the winter under the ice by creating their very own larders. They will also find out about porcupine quills, dens and food and that the blood curdling screams that are often heard in the night are made by porcupines.

Three special nturalist-presented programs will be held at 11 a.m. (porcupine), 1 p.m. (woodchuck), and 3 p.m. (beaver). There will also be rodent themed crafts and activities like building a life-size beaver lodge from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

All of the extra animal presentations and activities are included as part of the regular trail admission. ($15/adults, $12/seniors, $10/youth). There is no charge for Science Center members and children

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis control. Awareness makes change possible.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be empowered because you achieve a level of detachment you have not been able to reach until now. You’ll monitor your own emotions. You’ll become a student of your own mind, fascinated by all you learn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Don’t waste a moment’s thought punishing yourself for what you weren’t able to do before. That was then. This is a new day, and you have fresh powers to employ.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Ask yourself constantly what you are thinking and feeling. It matters. You have been conditioned to tune out your own thoughts and emotions. You’ll now benefit from tuning back in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll change a belief because you will realize for the first time its inaccuracy. Don’t worry about replacing the belief just yet. Your open mind will lift your awareness, and the journey toward truth will be exciting.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Without awareness, you are at the mercy of a situation. That’s why you take the time to observe things and understand them.

Tonight, you’ll be moved to experiment, and you’ll get interesting results.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 4). Your stellar attitude and positive interpretation of events carry you into a new, exciting era. Business takes off in November. You go forward with great gusto, and you’ll have the momentum to succeed. December and June bring travel. Friends help you stick to health and fitness goals in April. Leo and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 39, 24, 15, 45 and 26.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have questions about so many things, and you’re eager to learn. In the right environment, you do so quickly, but the information is heavy and the distractions are numerous now, so it might take longer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The noise and activity around you may put you a bit on edge. Take measures to calm yourself. Also, there is financial luck in store for you -- perhaps in the form of insurance money, refunds or royalties.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Before you make your move, consult the other people involved. Colleagues, friends and family members will have input.

Everything will be easier for you if you take the time to get them on board first.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You may think you’re eating too much, too little or all wrong. Either way, all your thoughts about your diet are starting to annoy you. The food you eat seems to fill your thoughts more than it does your stomach.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Believe in your own good luck. You don’t need any talisman to make it so -- it’s your birthright. There are strains of good fortune in your DNA. You’ll make the most of all your opportunities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You think you could have done better, but you’re wrong. Consider the forces that were weighing on you at the time. Next time, you’ll do it differently, but for now, take peace in the knowledge that you did the best you could.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you are unaware, you are at the mercy of your behavioral patterns. But the moment you become aware, you gain

Decker to speak on Civil War general on October 11 Exposure topic for Camera Club tonight GILMANTON — The Gilmanton Community Church will host a presentation by David Decker, a local authority on the Civil War, on Tuesday, October 11 at noon in the Gilmanton Corners Church.

The program will take place immediately following the senior luncheon which will feature a menu of Hawaiian chicken, rice, green beans, carrots, rolls, beverages, and delicious desserts.

Decker will deliver a presentation on the life and career of General George Thomas, with special emphasis on his unbroken string of victories

throughout the Civil War (1861-65).

Thomas twice saved the Union Army from destruction at Stone’s River and at Chickamauga.

His crowning achievement occurred at the battle of Nashville, where he completely destroyed John Bell Hood’s army, originally 57,000 men but reduced to 3,000 men at Tupelo, Mississippi, having been chased there by Thomas for 250 miles over three weeks. The result of this battle was the end of the war in the west in December, 1864, four months before Lee surrendered at Appomatax Courthouse.

MOULTONBOROUGH — On Tuesday, October 11, at 7 p.m. the program for the Moultonborough Historical Society will be “Bob Fogg and the Weirs Seaplane Base: A Story of the Golden Age of Aviation,” presented by society member Jane Rice.

Her grandfather, Thomas E.P. Rice, was involved with the base in the 1930s, and a few old scrapbook pages that came down from her grandfather led to a major research project that has brought together

pictures and stories of old-time flying history from many sources, including lots of great old pictures of classic aircraft at the Weirs Seaplane Base during the 1920s and 1930s.

The slide show will be preceded by a potluck supper at 6 p.m. in the Moultonborough Library function room. Guests can bring a dish to share (casserole, salad, or dessert of their choice), plus their own place setting.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, October 4, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a former professional football player.

During my career as a punter, I enjoyed stints on the Oilers, Lions and Ravens and led the NFL in the yards-per-punt average three times. I was even selected to play in the 1994 Pro Bowl. Despite my success on the field, life off the field was more challenging. For years, I suffered in silence with a debilitating illness. Due to my extremely high expectations, I was constantly consumed by an “unquiet mind” and the performance anxiety that came with it. Prior to the 1997 season, after nine years in the NFL, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder Bipolar disorder, or manic depression, is an illness in which people alternate between feeling very good (“highs” or mania) and very bad (“lows” or depression). The mood swings can be quick and severe, ranging from extreme energy to deep despair. These variations are different from ordinary mood changes. Bipolar mood episodes disrupt normal life activities.

As a man, and even more so as a professional football player, I was taught to work through the pain and tough it out. But after a decade of ignoring my symptoms, the disease began to take its toll. I was spiraling out of control, feeling supercharged one week and exhausted the next. A year after my diagnosis, I left the NFL. Now, nearly 15 years later, I’ve learned to respect my illness and take it seriously. I’ve found the strength to navigate through the disorder’s gauntlet and learned that it’s not a death sentence, but actually a gift. But getting help is key.

While my story has a happy ending, I know the majority of those living with bipolar disorder and depression are not getting the help they need. October 6, 2011, is National Depression Screening Day. On this date, thousands of community organizations, colleges and military installations will host

screening events for depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety and posttraumatic stress disorder. At these screenings, one can take an anonymous assessment and receive information about local resources. I encourage anyone who thinks they or someone they know might need help to go to www.HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org to find a screening event or take an online screening.

It is imperative that people realize these mood disorders are not weaknesses or character flaws, but real illnesses that can be successfully treated. Sincerely -- Greg Montgomery Jr. Dear Greg: More than 20 million American adults suffer from depression or bipolar disorder, but many do not get the help they need because of the stigma and misinformation associated with mental illness. The screenings at HelpYourselfHelpOthers.org are completely confidential and can be enormously helpful. Thank you for letting us spread the word.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Unhappily Married to a Flirt,” whose husband of 21 years has suddenly developed the habit of ogling attractive women. To make it worse, he then asks his wife to dye her hair and get a tattoo.

My husband of almost 47 wonderful years used to do the same thing. When it first started happening, I began pointing out younger and prettier women in short shorts, tight T-shirts and tight jeans. I’d say, “Honey, check that one out.” Not long afterward, he stopped. I took the fun out of it for him. This is what women should do to have a long and happy marriage like ours. -- Used To Be Married to an Ogler, but No More Dear Used To Be: This might work for some women, and playing along could certainly alleviate a great deal of annoyance. But we worry that more than a few men would take it as an invitation for a threesome.
