Former local police dot list of state’s top 500 pensioners

BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

CONCORD — Three former area police chiefs, two former Laconia Police supervisors and a former officer of the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid are included in the recently released list of the 500 top-most earners in the New Hampshire Retirement System.

Leading the local list is retired Alton Police Chief Philip Smith whose annual pension was $90,443 in 2010. Smith began his career in law enforcement

in Salem as a patrolman. He was promoted to sergeant and then lieutenant in 2001. In 2007 Smith became the Alton Police Chief retiring in October of 2009.

Smith is but one of a handful of retired state, local and/or county employees whose names and pension amounts were released to the public as the result of a N.H. Supreme court ruling issued on Nov. 3 that upheld a Hillsborough County Judge’s decision that the information is public under RSA see PENSIONS page 12

Italy’s borrowing rates skyrocket; Monti government scrambles to reassure investors

ROME (AP) — A week into his new job, Premier Mario Monti is running out of time to reassure nervous investors that his government has a strategy to deal with Italy’s crippling debts.

The nation’s borrowing rates skyrocketed Friday after a grim set of bond auctions, with a new auction looming Tuesday. Another borrowing debacle could ratchet up fears that Italy has entered a debt spiral driving it toward bankruptcy and the 17-nation eurozone into its most acute crisis yet.

Monti’s government of so-called “technocrats” is battling to convince investors that it has a successful strategy to reduce the country’s 1.9 trillion ($2.6 trillion) debt. But Friday’s dismal bond auction results for the eurozone’s third largest economy temporarily battered Europe’s stock markets.

The auction outcome also is likely to fuel calls for European Union officials to do more to jump-start economic growth and the European Central Bank to use more firepower to cool down a rapidly escalating debt crisis.

“We still haven’t found a response that reassures investors,” said Jose Manuel Barroso, head of the European Commission. “As long as we’re unable to do that, we’ll have very serious problems and discussions in Europe.” He spoke during a visit to Portugal, which, like eurozone members Greece and Ireland, has taken an EU bailout to avoid bankruptcy.

Stephen Lewis, an analyst at Monument Securities, agreed with that outlook.

“The signs are that the euro will need a highly skilled financial engineer at the controls if it is to withstand the strains it is likely to face in the five remaining weeks of this year,” he said.

Driving market fears is the knowledge that Italy is too big for Europe to bail out.

Given the size of its debts — Italy must refinance 200 billion by the end of April alone — the government is depending on investors for money. But when borrowing rates get too high that can fuel a potentially devastating debt spiral which could bankrupt the country. see ITALY page 9

2 more bodies found in Ohio that could be men lured to their deaths by Craigslist ad COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The discoveries of two new bodies could bring to three the death toll from a Craigslist ad that police say lured victims into a lethal robbery scheme.

A body found Friday in a shallow grave near a mall in Akron may be that of a missing man who answered the ad, the FBI said. And a sheriff in a rural county said later in the day that the body of a white male without identification was found in a shallow grave about 90 miles away.

The FBI is working on the supposition that the body found near the Rolling Acres shopping mall in Akron may be that of 47-year-old Timothy Kern, who hasn’t been seen in more than a week, agency spokeswoman Vicki Anderson said.

“Do we think it might be? Maybe,” Anderson said.

“He’s missing. We haven’t been able to find him. It could possibly be, but we just don’t know that yet.”

Anderson declined to specify how authorities discovered the body.

Kern, of Massillon, answered the same ad for a farm hand that authorities say led to the shooting death of Norfolk, Va., resident David Pauley, 51, in a rural area of Nobel County 90 miles south of Akron.

A South Carolina man reported answering the ad and being shot Nov. 6 but escaping.

Noble County Sheriff Steve Hannum is under a judge’s gag order and can’t comment on the case, but the title of his emailed announcement late Friday see CRAIGSLIST page 14

CIA issue rare request for aid for fallen agent’s family

WASHINGTON (AP) — CIA officers are asking people to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of the first American killed in the Afghan war by donating to help the children of their fellow fallen.

Since the death in 2001 of CIA officer Mike Spann, a total of 23 stars have been added to the wall at the CIA’s Langley, Va., headquarters that honors CIA operatives lost. Many were killed in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The clandestine world rarely breaks its silence, especially when it comes to family, but the CIA Officers Memorial Foundation notes about 56 children of those killed in the line of duty will need educational support over the next 17 years.

Spann was part of a small group of CIA paramilitary officers who went into Afghanistan just 16 days after the al-Qaida attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. Less than two months later, the CIA along with U.S. Special Forces Green Berets and a massive aerial bombing campaign helped Afghan militias drive out the ruling Taliban.

Spann was killed when hundreds of Taliban and al-Qaida prisoners, guarded by just a handful of Afghans, tried to escape from a fortress jail in Mazar-e-Sharif in northern Afghanistan.

Spann is survived by his wife, Shannon, a retired CIA officer, and three children.

Egypt’s military under pressure from protests & U.S. CAIRO (AP) — The U.S. increased pressure Friday on Egypt’s military rulers to hand over power to civilian leaders, and the generals turned to a Mubarakera politician to head a new government in a move that failed to satisfy the more than 100,000 protesters who jammed Tahrir Square in the biggest rally yet this week.

The demonstrators rejected the appointment of Kamal el-Ganzouri as prime minister, breaking into chants of “Illegitimate! Illegitimate!” and setting up a showdown between the two sides only three days before key parliamentary elections.

The size of the rally and the resilience of protesters in the face of the violence used by security forces in this week’s deadly street battles have won back for the movement much of the strength it projected

during the 18-day uprising that ousted President Hosni Mubarak in February.

Showing the sort of resolve from the earliest days of the Arab Spring, the protesters say they will not leave the iconic square until the military rulers led

by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi step down and a civilian presidential council is formed to run the country until a new leader is elected.

“They stole our January revolution because we did not agree on who should represent us,” said activist Sedeeqah Abu Seadah. “We shouted ‘erhal’ (leave) but did not shout the name of the person we want.”

The military’s appointment of el-Ganzouri, its apology for the death of protesters and a series of partial concessions in the past two days suggest that see EGYPT page 14

Former N.Y. Times columnist Tom Wicker dies at 85 MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Tom Wicker, the former New York Times political reporter and columnist whose career soared following his acclaimed coverage of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, died Friday at his home in Rochester, Vt. He was 85.

Wicker died after an apparent heart attack Friday morning, his wife Pamela said.

“He’d been ill with things that come from being 85,” she said. “He died in his bedroom looking out at the countryside that he loved.”

Wicker grew up in poverty in Hamlet, N.C., and wanted to be a novelist, but pursued journalism when his early books didn’t catch fire. He worked

at weekly and daily newspapers in North Carolina before winning a spot as a political correspondent in the Times’ Washington bureau in 1960.

Three years later, he was the only Times reporter to be traveling with Kennedy when the president was shot in Dallas.

Gay Talese, author of the major history of The New York Times, wrote of Wicker’s coverage: “It was a remarkable achievement in reporting and writing, in collecting facts out of confusion, in reconstructing the most deranged day in his life, the despair and bitterness and disbelief, and then getting on a telephone to New York and dictating the story in a voice that only rarely cracked with emotion.”

challenge. The second was that she and Mike had gone for many years without taking a vacation together because they couldn’t find a place to board their dogs that was acceptable to their standards.

The idea to start an up-scale boarding facility came to Cindi a couple of years ago when she was on a business trip to Wales and she met a woman who owned the Royal Pet Resort in State College, Penn. “I see next page

from preceding page just said, I wish you were in New Hampshire,” Cindi recalls. “She looked at me and said, ‘Just open a pet resort.’ It was an epiphany, it was an ‘a-ha moment’.”

Over the next couple of years, the Ingalls, who live in the Lakes Region, researched the local market for posh pet resorts. They spoke with local veterinarians and pet store owners, who told them that there were many others like them, who were uncomfortable leaving their pampered pets in conventional kennels. They received particular help from Mary Blain, owner of the Mountain View Pet Resort in Canaan. “Mary let us roll up our sleeves and work right next to her,” Cindi said.

With the demand for the service established, expertise gleaned from Blain, and financing from Meredith Village Savings Bank and the Belknap County Economic Development Council, the Ingalls were able in September to purchase a property on Daniel Webster Highway, just north of Meredith village, and begin renovating the land and buildings to offer the highest quality of pet boarding in the region.

Lakes Region Pet Resort offers boarding for dogs and cats for when their owners are out of town, as well as “doggie day care” for owners who don’t want to leave their dogs home alone while they’re at work or running errands. The resort will also offer training session with locally-known experts.

The facilities on the property, which include a farmhouse with attached carriage house as well as a large barn, have been renovated to include 21 “suites” for medium and large dogs and 10 rooms for small dogs and cats. There is also a fenced-in play area, which is critical to the Ingalls’ boarding philosophy. “It’s activity-based,” said Cindi. “Dogs get out and play, they get one-on-one attention.”

Katie Dunn, the daytime supervisor, overlooks playtime and will allow dogs who get along to romp together in the dog run. Cindi said the business had several doggie day care clients waiting for their opening day. After a week of operation, she said their day care dogs, most were just growing out of their puppy stage, spent so much time playing that they went home tuckered out.

Cindi said the resort will be run with strict standards. There won’t be more than six dogs playing per human supervisor. Dog and cat “suites” will be kept clean, and dogs won’t be sent home dirty. At least one human will be present on site every hour of the day and night. “This is a very serious business for me,” said Cindi. “This is run as professionally as I can... We take it very seriously that dogs are safe.”

All dogs boarded at the resort have to be neutered or spayed and must be up-to-date on their shots.

Owners must supply the resort with food for their animals. No dogs with aggression issues will be accepted. She strongly recommends that, prior to leaving the animal for an extended period of time, owners bring their dog to a “transition day” during which the dog spends a short amount of time at the kennel before the owner returns. This is intended to minimize the trauma or abandonment a dog experience during its first kennel stay.

As might be expected, boarding fees at Lakes Region Pet Resort are moderately higher than at conventional kennels. Cindi expects there will be many clients who won’t have a problem with paying the premium. “The customers that we have are people looking for the very best care for their dogs,” she said. “Dogs today are not what you hook up to a doghouse in the back yard.

They’re part of the family.”

Dunn decided to set an artificially low capacity ceiling of eight dogs so they could see how things went.

They will accept a dozen dogs over Christmas and will expand their capacity as they feel appropriate.

Response from owners seems to underscore the market research they performed prior to opening, as they have had far more inquiries than they are yet able to satisfy. “We’re full to the level that we’re comfortable with,” Cindi said. “I knew we would be successful, I never thought we’d get the calls we did for Thanksgiving. I was shocked.”

Lakes Region Pet Resort will pick up and deliver dogs within a 15-mile radius. Owners who want to treat their dogs can pay an additional fee for their pet to stay in a home setting or to receive a massage.

Cindi plans to offer training seminars and classes in the near future.

Before opening their new business, the Ingalls couldn’t find a boarding facility suitable enough for them to take a vacation. Ironically, the creation of such a place is now keeping them too busy to take time off. However, Cindi said she has no regrets. “It’s been going great, it’s so much fun,” she said. “It’s like a dream come true.”

Froma Harrop

Being thankful, past & present (Note to Readers: The following Thanksgiving-related column by Froma Harrop was originally published in 2002.)

Thanksgiving is the most American of holidays. But there is something almost un-American about it. It is a day opposed to striving, to getting more. Time to stop adding up the numbers on the scorecard of life. We freeze in place, look at our situation and give thanks for whatever is there.

The Wall Street Journal once featured some sob stories about failed dot-com entrepreneurs. People still in their 20s and 30s spoke painfully of their disappointments. They had planned to make many millions on their Internet startups. But the bottom fell out of the dot-com market before they could pile up the first seven figures.

The would-be tycoons discussed the sacrifices they had made in their quest for New Economy gold.

One 29-year-old had accepted a job at an Internet firm that paid “only” $80,000 a year. His businessschool classmates were averaging $120,000 at traditional firms. Some talked of working outrageously long hours. Eighty hours a week was common. When their dot-com closed its doors, they had no personal life to go back to.

These young people could have used some Thanksgiving spirit.

Thanksgiving is a full-glass holiday. It is not a time to bemoan what one could have had. To be healthy, educated and living in America is to have one’s cup running over.

Our culture does not encourage contentment with what we already possess. This is the land of the upgrade. One can always do better, be it with house or spouse. When money is the measurement, the competitive struggle can never end without acknowledging some kind of defeat. Everyone other than Bill Gates has someone who is ahead.

Messages in the media continually tweak Americans’ innate sense of inadequacy. Our folk hero, after all, is the college dropout who sells his Internet company for half a billion by the age of 24. How is a middle-aged guy making $38,000 a year supposed to feel about that?

Some messages even push us to compete against family members.

A few years ago, an investment company ran a magazine advertisement showing a young woman sitting pensively on a front porch.

“Your grandfather did better than his father,” it read.

“Your father did better than his

father. Are you prepared to carry on the tradition?”

Note the use of the respectable word “tradition.” This serves as a cover for what is really a call for intergenerational competition. The needle in the neck is the suggestion that failure to amass more wealth than Dad is a smudge on the family’s honor.

Such thinking would have been wholly foreign to the Pilgrims who celebrated the “First Thanksgiving.” The events leading up to that dinner help us understand the original meaning of the observance.

The Pilgrims were Puritans who had seceded from the Church of England. Their motive in coming to the North American woods was to worship as they chose. Their ship, the Mayflower, landed at what was to become Plymouth, Mass., on Dec. 16, 1620.

Mid-December is an awful time to start setting up shop in the New England wilderness. Disease immediately carried off more than half of the 102 colonists. They were buried on Coles Hill, right across the street from Plymouth Rock. (Scholars now believe that the Mayflower really did land there.) Without the help of friendly Indians, the colony would have vanished by spring.

In 1625, the colony’s governor, William Bradford, wrote that the Pilgrims “never felt the sweetness of the country till this year.” But that didn’t stop them from giving thanks four years earlier.

The “First Thanksgiving” was held in the autumn of 1621. The purpose was not to celebrate the good life, but to celebrate their staying alive. The Wampanoag Indians shared in the feast.

By the 1830s, America was already a bustling land of fortunebuilding and otherwise improving one’s material lot. Intellectuals of the day looked back nostalgically at the Puritan concern with unworldly matters. Ralph Waldo Emerson, for one, spoke of their religious orientation as “an antidote to the spirit of commerce and economy.”

Thanksgiving is a throwback to that misty past. It requires a Zenlike acceptance of the present. Gratitude is the order of the day. And there’s no need for a thing more.

LETTERS Refurbishing Engine 4 wouldn’t be wise move for Town of Gilford To the editor, I’m writing today to express my strong opposition to the possibility of refurbishing Gilford Fire/Rescue’s Engine 4, as opposed to replacing it, as reported in the November 19 edition of The Sun. As much as I applaud the Budget Committee’s desire to limit town expenditures in efforts to be fiscally responsible and to keep our taxes as low as possible, I am convinced that spending more than $130,000 to refurbish a 26-year-old piece of equipment is, as the saying goes, “throwing good money after bad.”

I also need to express support for Kevin Leandro and Pat LaBonte, and respect their opinions that refurbishing Engine 4 is a wise move for Gilford. While I am aware that extensive refurbishing occurs in the truck and equipment areas, this is usually done when replacement parts and technologies are still relative. In the case of Engine 4, this is simply not the case.

As president of a small chain of heavyduty truck dealerships and a former firefighter, I have a unique perspective of this situation.

Engine 4 was built by Ranger Fire Apparatus, which ceased operations more than 20 years ago. A “Google” search for Ranger turns up collectors’ sites. Obviously, any proprietary replacement parts for Engine 4 will have to be custom-made, or machined, if this is at all possible. The diesel engine for Engine 4 is Detroit Diesel 8V92 two-cycle, a powerhouse in its day, but also discontinued more than 20 years ago. Speaking from painful experience, replacement parts for this

engine are becoming increasingly hard to find. The engine lacks computer controls, emission equipment and is not fuel efficient. Likewise, Engine 4’s transmission is a discontinued Allison “mechanical” automatic, unlike today’s reliable, computer controlled “EVS” transmissions. Simply put, the truck may have served Gilford well, but it is a “dinosaur” and not worthy of a $130,000 refurbishment.

More than 10 years ago, when I sat on the Board of Fire Engineers, we expressed strong concerns about the viability of Engine 4. Its long life is testimony to the careful maintenance provided by Chief Carrier and Don DeCarli. However, it is time to replace the pumper. The expenditure of $441,000 is huge, but carefully planned for a year when other similar large investments are not being made. I have seen estimates of other similar pumpers exceed $500,000, so I am confident that Gilford’s specifications lack lots of “bells and whistles” which may be nice to own, but not completely necessary.

Replacing Engine 4 with a new E-One is absolutely the right thing for Gilford, its residents and its firefighter.

Today’s apparatus attend many more events than 20 years ago: medical emergencies, accidents, hazmat spills, as well as the fires themselves.

Demands on today’s apparatus are more frequent and severe than every before. Refurbishing Engine 4 is not the wise move, despite best intentions.

We must replace this pumper.

Why did county overcharge taxpayers to tune of $6 to $10 million?

To the editor, An open letter to Rep. Alida Millham, chair of Belknap County Convention: Per your recent e-mail, yes, I have questions.

First, while wages and benefits are not a part of the county budget process, the wages and benefits are a part of collective bargaining contracts which we must approve of, or disapprove of, for a four year length of contract, with the new four year contract to begin January 1, 2012 — are they not?

As you may recall, I had asked that

the collective bargaining contracts be submitted to the County Convention early enough for us to consider them before January. However the “powers that be” in the county have decided to delay submitting the new collective bargaining contracts to the County Convention until after the Legislature returns to work in January. What choices do we members of the County Convention have when we consider the new county collective bargaining agreements? Do we have any choice at all?

LETTERS Obama using Social Security number from deceased Ohio man

Loss of freedom is implicit with carrying too much debt

To the editor, Referring to the Nov. 23 front page story, Reps. Accornero, Tobin, and all their supporters, along with Orly Taitz, are all absolutely correct. Those who make false statements against them seem to have a mental problem with understanding, or maybe they’re just too lazy to do the simple research to learn the truth! WHY has Obama spent millions for lawyers to block all information about his birth? Why does Obama use a Social Security number from a deceased Ohio man, when Obama never was in Ohio? (The guy from Ohio died in Hawaii and Obama’s grandmother found the way to transfer his Social Security number to Obama, another fake way to make him a “citizen”.)

Why does the FAKE birth certificate which Obama finally “revealed” have him born in a hospital that didn’t then exist? Why does Obama honor ALL Muslim traditions, and NONE of the USA or Christian?

The answer to all those is obvious and clearly available to ALL who will just look!

To the editor, Politicians often curse the market.

They despise currency speculators and are exasperated by the bond market. Politicians believe that politics must be established in a position of primacy over the markets. Unfortunately, in the long run, the market is absolutely rational.

It has a built in mechanism for tempering irrational exuberance. Politics does not. There’s an old saying that rat like cunning beats high IQ every time. I fear we are about to test the old saying. The markets will allow any amount of freedom that you can afford.

If your currency is sound speculation is not possible. If you have no debt the bond market is simply irrelevant.

John Maynard Keynes, who was largely responsible for the plans for the post WWII monetary system, focused on limiting the imbalances that had been allowed. He understood it was about working with what you have not dreaming about what one might wish the situation to be. It is interesting to note that many similarities with the period between WWI and WWII monetarily have resurrected themselves in the last few decades.

After WWII America was a creditor nation. Keynes proposed plans were constricted. The range or activity of creditor nations was definitely and clearly restricted by political Washington DC. The Bretton Woods system came into being shortly after WWII and lasted until 1971 when the system

Obama WAS born in Kenya, a British protectorate at the time, with a well proved birth certificate. He went to Hawaii with his stepfather, and directly to Indonesia with a Kenyan passport (which was handy latter), and grew up as a Muslim. ALL of this is well recorded for ALL to see!

He was brought back to Hawaii, where false papers were made, and all gets fuzzy until he magically appears in Chicago Mafia records, promoted for senator. It all goes downhill from there.

Obama became an “organizer” for “Acorn”, bent on recruiting illegals and others to become voters, when not qualified. That was aimed at the blacks. Now his efforts are to get illegal immigrants to vote for him, even if not allowed.

I agree we can’t accuse him of treason, since he never was an American citizen. But we can accuse him of terrorist attack with his destruction of the dollar and all our credit!

Reelecting him was never the question. He MUST be impeached and FIRED long before that.

Many budcom members just want to see name in town report To the editor, The letters keep coming of complaints concerning budget committees and rightfully so. My best moment in a Gilmanton School Meeting was when I called the school budget a slush fund. I was told by the moderator that one more outburst like that and I’d be asked to leave.

The letter written on conflict of interest is true throughout New

Hampshire. I dare say that the majority of budget committee members are there only to see their name in the town report, for protection of their favorite department, or because they benefit from higher budgets passed.

If anyone knows of a town that fails my reasons listed, please submit the name of the town.

Henry Osmer Hill

from preceding page County Convention will have approximately 850 bills in the Legislature to consider. In addition we of the County Convention, unnecessarily, will have the new collective bargaining contracts to consider and the new county budget to consider, all at the same time. Also along with the Legislative Crossover Date, when all 850, more or less, House bills must be sent to the Senate. All three workloads seem to have mid-March deadlines.

Second, as for the 2012 county budget, do we have any choices at all; other than to approve it as is, or to disapprove it? If we disapprove the 2012 county budget does it not revert to the 2011 budget, which, as the attached newspaper article shows, contains some $6-million or maybe $10-million more than is needed for county spending? By the way, in this day of difficult finances, per the attached news article, even if they pay some of it back, why in 2011, did the county commissioners budget overcharge the county by some $6 or $10-million?

Last March, when we members of the County Convention passed the county budget and the resulting

MS-42 for the state DRA, we were not told that the county had used all of the 2011 tax money to repay the 2010 TAN. However, just a few days later, we new members of the Convention were shocked when we learned that all of the 2011 money had been spent and that the Executive Committee of the Convention had no choice but to approve a new TAN for $14 million so the county could pay its bills during the rest of 2011.

Since the $14-million repayment for the year 2010 TAN was not listed in the 2011 county budget, on what basis did the County Commissioners use $14-million of 2011 funds to repay the previous $14-million dollar 2010 TAN without approval of the full Convention?

At the county meeting on Monday, Nov. 14, I did ask the Convention Clerk, Representative Jeffrey St Cyr for a copy of the minutes of the meeting that approved the 2011 TAN but so far those minutes have not been supplied to me.

If we have choices on the county budget, what choices do we have ?

Rep. Robert Kingsbury Laconia

collapsed. Since then trade imbalances have ceased to be a constraint and financial markets have been induced to lend money allowing politicians to run their countries fiscal and trade accounts deeply into the red. As long as everyone pays what they owe timely the system works well. Today many nations are approaching insolvency. The music will soon stop unless something changes.

Politicians are not noted for doing the right thing. They can however be counted on to do the easy or the popular thing. Making big promises and borrowing lots of money are easy and popular. Living within the confines of a budget is hard and unpopular. The result has been decades of complacency which will hobble the nation for the foreseeable future.

It is time for America to wake up to the potential loss of freedom implicit in carrying large amounts of debt.

There is a reason for the song from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs has been modified to “I owe, I owe, it’s off to work I go…” Okay maybe that’s not exactly fair but the point is when you are beholding to no one you have only you conscience to answer to. That is the definition of freedom. If you owe more than you can easily repay you can be required to do what your creditors require of you regardless how you feel about it and that is a concern.

We may be able to continue to borrow for a while more. But our creditors are see next page

LETTERS A tribute to the young men who comprise the Lakers’ title team To the editor, Day after day, this past week, my mind kept drifting back to the InterLakes/Moultonborough championship football game played at Charles Burrows Memorial Athletic Field on Saturday, November 12, where ILMHS captured the 2011 Division VI State Championship by defeating EppingNewmarket 29-7. It was a remarkable ending of a season that, for the first time, saw Moultonborough Academy students teaming-up with Inter-Lakes High School students in a football cooperative school venture. And what a venture it was because together they completed the 2011 season with a perfect 11-0 record.

What follows is merely a simple fan’s view on how some of the players contributed to this historic state title championship win.

First, in a post-game scene, some may not have noticed the emotional game ending mid-field hug between Senior Tri-Captain Conor Donovan and Head Coach Paul Lavigne. Those who have frequented football at Burrows Field recognized this enduring hug for what it surely was: a mutual esteem embrace. Once the teary eyed Donovan finally let go of his coach, both walked silently alongside each other toward Inter-Lakes High School. Donovan didn’t look back. He only walked with his school in sight, not wanting to look back at the field that never again would see the brilliance of this great player.

As for the game itself, Donovan contributed mightily to this championship.

He had two “eye popping” touchdown runs which was standard for him, but for new fans in The Hill Gang, Donovan’s touchdown gallops had to be breathtaking as was his 200 plus yards rushing and 38 yard field goal.

Of course Conor Donovan didn’t win this state championship game all by himself. That’s not how football is played. Game heroics were also on display by an array of teammates.

Senior Nick Sindorf, a solid veteran starter, elated the home folks early with a great first quarter catch and electrifying run to fuel that “crowning moment” which was to come later in the day. Sindorf quickly showed the thousands of fans, on hand, how lethal elusiveness and speed are on the gridiron. All 11 of Epping-Newmarket’s defenders had to be impressed too because once Sindorf was spotted coming out of the backfield no one could catch him. Hence, ILMHS led 7-0. Oh, and how about his dazzling block that turned Connor Donovan’s possible 2 to 3 yard gain into a 66 yard touchdown sprint.

And what more can be said about Tanner Quinney. He has great size and great hands for the passing game as was demonstrated once again with his 2nd quarter 11 yard touchdown catch. Combining his receiving and running game, Quinney is probably the best high school fullback in the division. His mere field presence promotes inspirational team play. He is easily motivated and appears to like the idea of seeing someone standing before him he can knock down with-

us more money. The consequence will be loss of our freedoms: most importantly our freedom to choose.

Our domestic wealth on the other hand can be and will be taxed or confiscated with or without the pledge. Capital controls worked under the Bretton Woods Accords. In today’s world those same measures may no longer be effective. Technology is different. Enforcement will require different steps. But something should be done.

The progressive accumulation of debt was described by Alexander Hamilton as “perhaps the natural disease of all governments.” When the rules of fiscal discipline are violated the markets assert their own grim discipline. Those who fail to understand the lessons of history are doomed to repeat the errors of the past.

The choice is yours. Choose well.

Vote early, vote often.

Just my honest opinion.

going to shorten the leash. They are going to do it at a time most advantageous to them and least convenient for us. Someone overseas is going to demand veto power over America’s budget. They will insist we actually produce a budget. They will require balanced budgets and repayment of debt. Gone will be the days of reducing the rate of increase of spending growth and calling that deficit reduction. We will have lost our ability to control our own monetary policy. It is possible that we may lose control over fiscal policy too.

If we want a House and a Senate limited to deciding smoking bans and light bulb type we should continue support the status quo. Maybe that end result cannot be avoided. Just as the House and Senate cannot pass a meaningful law reversing gravity they cannot continue to borrow and spend without consequence. We are shortly going to find out that our politicians cannot force foreign creditors to lend

out being arrested. Quinney played this championship game the way he played all season long, by the rules and with reckless abandon.

Quarterback Mitchell Jurius threw New England Patriot Tom Brady laser-like passes whenever his ground game got bogged down. Excitement abounded on the hill whenever this junior star stepped back to throw downfield. Jurius, the engine that moves the train, made truly impressive plays throughout the afternoon.

Aside from the game, it was obvious this gifted player’s impending S.A.T. scores will likewise be impressive.

Kudos too to Mad Russian Vanya Noordergraff. Just when it appeared Epping-Newmarket had gained confidence in its running attack, the Mad Russian got even madder. Using brute force, Noordergraff charged ahead again and again and suddenly the opponent’s running game went from a gallop to a trot. Noordergraff, a defensive tackle, is almost smaller than the spelling of his name, yet he plays in what Coach Lavigne considers the biggest position in his defense. He’s a perfect example of the quote :“it’s never the size of the boy, it’s always about the size of the heart in the boy”.

Brandon Kreuger’s courage, coupled with his niftiness on “kick returns”, gave the home team a big edge in this state championship game. Comparing “special teams” ILMHS had the advantage and Kreuger’s field presence made the difference. He played fearlessly from the opening kick-off until the last second ticked off the clock. Kreuger was probably disappointed the game didn’t go into overtime so he could play more Saturday afternoon football.

Alongside Kreugerwas sidekick Nick Jepson. Jepson’s been referred to as the team’s “hidden hero” and the more I watched him in the state championship game the more I realized how appropriate the comment.

Willie True is the kind of player every conference team would love to have at their school. Whether he is darting out of the backfield, still standing, when most runners would already be down, or whether he’s vying for the weekly defensive play of the week award, one thing is certain: True is a “column of strength” to his football team. Give me an All-Star ballot, then count me in for a quick X for True.

If ILMHS’s football conference has a better center than Tri-Captain Hayden Jurius, then I haven’t seen that player for the past three years. Jurius is awesome and in every minute of play toils in the toughest neighborhood of any gridiron. After every snap, this star player duels in the most lawless part of a football field. He is always inches away from “hand to hand” combat

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING MEREDITH BOARD OF SELECTMEN Meredith Community Center 1 Circle Drive, Meredith, NH 03253 5:30 pm ACCEPTANCE AND APPROPRIATIONS OF UNANTIPATED FUNDS PER RSA 31:95-B Per RSA 31:95-b, III, the Meredith Board of Selectmen will conduct a public hearing on 12-5-2011 for the purpose of accepting and appropriating unanticipated funds in the amount of $16,483 due to the award of the JAG Grant.

where generally anything goes with the hope that seldom will anyone get caught. It takes a lot of character and genuine courage to play where this boy plays. Jurius knows what a “war zone” is all about, so if ever an overseas enemy finds its way to Meredith, let it be known now, I’m heading out to locate Hayden Jurius.

Much of what was said of Tri-Captain Jurius would also apply to TriCaptain Conor Langille. He is a two year starter that opposing teams know all about before arriving at Burrows Field. It’s no secret visiting teams design offensive schemes with Langille in mind. Their strategy centers on how they might disguise and fake plays so as to move Langille away from the main action and Saturday’s game plan was no different.

And for the 11th time this year that plan failed. Langille’s contribution to his school’s 2011 state championship was Four Star.

And how about Sander Danelovich’s crucial catch, at a most critical time on Saturday. Danelovich put everyone on the Epping-Newmarket sideline on notice that ILMHS was awake and endeared to skill and toughness. Yes, Danelovich sounded that bell early as he has on many other football weekends on the team’s march to this historic undefeated season.

It was also a good sight to see Landon Allen back in the lineup after nursing a nagging injury that kept him out of the team’s semi-final championship game vs. Newport.

I’ve heard enough of Coach Lavigne’s commentary, during the year, to know how truly valuable Allen is to ILMHS’s defensive backfield. There were a least two occasions Saturday when Epping-Newmarket wanted desperately to pass long but, because of Allen, couldn’t find a receiver open.

This pesky player runs around in the defensive backfield as if his hair is on fire and you have to love him for it.

It should be noted, however, the fact that linebacker Hunter Secord kept thumping and slithering through tough offensive linemen all game long made it a lot easier for all of his secondary teammates. Secord is one player every ILMHS defensive back should quickly get a thank you card to.

By the middle of the third quarter, it should have been obvious to The Hill Gang, concentrating on line play, that the names John Fownes, Kyle Fiske, Fred Galietta, Sean Mahoney and Austin McGuigan could play for any high school team in Manchester or Nashua. These five linemen are “big league” players whose effort and ability made “high profile” names and allowed “high profile” newspaper coverage for many of their teammates not see next page

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 26, 2011— Page 9

ITALY from page 2 Friday’s auctions showed that investors see Italian debt as increasingly risky.

The country had to pay an average yield of 7.814 percent to raise €2 billion ($2.7 billion) in two-year bills — sharply higher than the 4.628 percent it paid in the previous auction in October. And even raising €8 billion ($10.7 billion) for six months proved exorbitantly expensive, as the yield for that spiked to 6.504 percent, nearly double the 3.535 percent rate last month.

Following the grim auction news, Italy’s borrowing rates in the markets shot higher, with the 10-year yield spiking 0.34 percentage point to 7.30 percent — above the 7 percent threshold that forced other euro nations into bailouts.

Solid returns on Wall Street helped European markets recover from earlier losses Friday fueled by fears over Italy.

The EU monetary chief, Olli Rehn, also tried to reassure markets. After meeting in Rome with Monti on Friday, he emerged to praise new economic reforms that are “going in the right direction,” such as liberalizing professions, encouraging employers to hire, and making it easier for them to transfer workers.

But Rehn also said he expects more “bold measures” to follow.

Italy must adopt “a comprehensive and wideranging package of reforms to kick-start growth and offer young people not only more jobs but also better jobs,” the monetary affairs commissioner said.

Rehn was in Rome to monitor Italy’s compliance with promises to liberalize its labor market, reduce the bloated public sector and sell some state assets.

Analyst Raj Badiani, an economist at IHS Global Insight in London, said Monti must deliver more.

“I don’t think the markets have turned against Monti” and his “first stab” at promised reforms, Badiani said. “However, I argue that he will need to consider more draconian labor market reforms to reverse Italy’s woeful productivity performance since the adoption of the euro.”

Other analysts were less accommodating toward Monti, a former European Union competition commission with a reputation for taking tough stands. from preceding page only in the state championship game but throughout ILMHS’s 2011 season.

Hunter Jensen is yet another player with a vast fan club who never seems to leave the playing field.

Jenson, as he has all season long, brought the home crowd to its feet in the championship game with yet another one of his amazing acrobatic touchdown catches. He is athletically gifted and a perfect fit in Coach Lavigne’s overall game planning. Anyone focusing on him during Saturday’s title game would know that, whether it’s offense or defense, he hardly ever comes out. On the few occasions he is spotted heading to the sidelines, it’s either for a quick sip of water or to consult with an EMT. Jensen’s extended time on the playing field is a great tribute to this outstanding young player.

Junior David Donovan closed the cover on the perfect 11-0 championship year with a nifty fourth quarter “pick” of a desperate Epping-Newmarket pass. If there was any flicker of hope for the visiting team to roar back and turn the tide, it all ended with that pass ending up in Donovan’s hands. Donovan’s timely interception dispersed some of the crowd toward the American Legion concession stand. Yes, It was a banner year for ILMHS and with a record breaking crowd on hand, it was a great day too for the American Legion concession stand. Congratulations to both!

Finally, it should be noted that not everyone can play high school football. It’s a sport requiring a little bit more courage than most. In trying to recapture some of the special moments of ILMHS’s November 12th championship game, not everyone is mentioned but know that earnest congratulations is extended to every single player in uniform for your vital contributions to the team. You boys will always have my praise for donning pads and a helmet and awaiting a coach’s call to duty.

the principle of “one person, one vote” would leave many wards and most towns with more or less than a whole number of representatives. To address the issue, the amendment anticipated drawing “floterial” districts of contiguous wards or towns, which would each elect their own representative or representatives while sharing one or more representatives with the other wards or towns in the district.

Posting on NH Insider, a popular website, Vaillancourt said that he sought to strike a balance between the federal mandate and the state Constitution by ensuring that every ward or town with 3,291 people would elect a representative before being added to a floterial district. Nevertheless, he conceded that “the goal of meeting both tasks is often not possible.”

Belknap County posed a challenge for Vaillancourt, who prepared two plans with three districts — New Hampton and Center Harbor, Sanbornton and Tilton, Meredith and Gilford — common to both.

New Hampton and Center Harbor, with a combined population of 3,261 just 30 shy of the ideal, would continue to form one district with one representative. Likewise, with 2,966 people Sanbornton deviates too far below the see next page

HOUSE from page one The federal and state constitutions require that the boundaries of all federal, state and municipal electoral districts be redrawn every 10 years to comply as closely as possible with with the principle of “one person, one vote” in light of changes in population reported by the United States Census. Since the population of the state in 2010 was 1,316,470, the ideal size of each of the 400 House districts is 3,291.

This year the redistricting committee has struggled to square the federal principle of “one person, one vote” with an amendment to the state Constitution adopted in 2006. The constitution was amended in response to the redistricting plan imposed by the New Hampshire Supreme Court a decade ago, after Governor Jeanne Shaheen vetoed the plan enacted by the Legislature. The justices divided the state into large districts of multiple towns, like the current fifth district in Belknap County, consisting of Alton, Barnstead, Belmont and Gilford, which returns seven representatives.

Aimed at restoring local representation, the amendment entitles towns and wards to elect their own representative or representatives if their populations match the ideal. But, since the population is not distributed evenly,

from preceding page ideal of 3,291 while Tilton, with 3,567 people, deviates too far above it for either to elect its own representative.

Consequently, they would remain one district electing two representatives.

Vaillancourt proposes joining Meredith and Gilford, which are contiguous only by water. Meredith, with a population of 6,241, qualifies for less than the two representatives it has elected since 2002. Gilford, on the other hand, has been among four towns that together return seven House members, but with 7,126 people, warrants more than two seats on its own. Combined in one district, the two towns would each elect one representative by themselves and another two atlarge. The at-large reps could be residents of either town.

Vaillancourt’s two plans differ in their treatment of Laconia and the remaining four towns — Alton, Barnstead, Belmont and Gilmanton. Both would join Laconia and Belmont as well as Alton and Barnstead while one would add Gilmanton to the first pair and the other to the second pair.

In Laconia, the population shrank 3-percent to 15,591 during the past decade and no longer warrants the five House seats the city has enjoyed.

Moreover, none of the six wards has enough people to qualify as a separate electoral district.

The city is divided into six wards because that is called for in the City Charter. Each has its own represen-

tative on the City Council and that is their primary purpose.

Vaillancourt’s first plan would combine Laconia’s six wards with Belmont and Gilmanton in a district returning eight representatives, four from Laconia alone, two from Belmont, one from Gilmanton while the eighth would be elected at-large. To provide a greater measure of local representation, the second plan would join Laconia only with Belmont in a seven-member district. The city would be split in two, with wards 1, 2 and 6 and wards 3, 4 and 5 each electing two representatives; Belmont would also elect two representatives and together all the voters would elect a seventh.

The first plan would combine Alton and Barnstead, which would each elect one representative and together return a third. The second plan would add Gilmanton to Alton and Barnstead to create a four-member district where all the representatives would be elected at-large.

Vaillancourt’s first plan mirrors a plan offered by Representative Spec Bowers (R-Sunapee), another member of the Special Redistricting Committee. In an op-ed article, Bowers stressed that the committee sought to draw districts small in both numbers and area as the constitutional amendment prescribed, but like Vaillancourt acknowledged “it is mathematically impossible to implement that principle in every case.”

switch to Saturday seen as boost for downtown biz

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The annual Holiday Parade will step off from Wyatt Park at one o’clock today, marking the first time in many years that the event has been held on a Saturday.

The switch from a Sunday parade has downtown merchants optimistic that it’s going to be a good thing for them.

“There are going to be between 3,000 and 5,000 people watching. We’re hoping many of them will be filing into restaurants and downtown businesses after the parade has ended,’’ says Randy Bullerwell of All My Life Jewelers, a member of the Main Street Initiative, which along with the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce organizes the parade.

Warren Clement, who ran the former Sundial Shop in the downtown area for 38 years, says that he thinks switching to a Saturday parade makes a lot of sense.

“Most of the downtown businesses are closed on Sunday. This will bring a lot of people to downtown when they’re open” says Clement, who recalls that for many years the parade was held on a Saturday.

The parade will be led by a colorful group known as the Snow Shovel Brigade, whose members will be wearing mismatched winter outfits and performing intricate — if lightly rehearsed — march routines under the direction of Larry Frates of the Frates Creative Arts Center, grand marshal for this year’s parade.

PENSIONS from page one 91 A — the state’s Right-To-Know Act. The board that oversees the pension system had fought disclosure on the grounds in was trying to protect the privacy of participants.

The suit was brought in February of 2010 against the N.H. Retirement System by the Union Leader Corporation after a Right-To-Know request was answered with the amounts each pensioners earned

Frates, who said that he couldn’t visualize himself riding in a convertible and waving to the crowd, says that the Snow Shovel Brigade is the winter counterpart of the popular Lawn Chair Brigade which he organized and was a popular part of summer parades in the region for many years.

There will be three bands in this year’s parade, from Laconia, Gilford and Belmont with as many as 50 organizations and businesses marching or having their own float according to Bullerwell.

The parade will see many dancers from local dance academies taking part as well as antique cars and even a team of oxen from Ox-K Farm in Gilford.

The parade will begin at Wyatt Park, continue up Main Street, and end at the historic train station in Veteran’s Square with the lighting of the community Christmas tree.

“Santa and Mrs. Claus will be on the last float and when they arrive at the tree Santa will wave his wand and light the tree,’’ says Bullerwell.

The annual Santa Train Ride from the historic Laconia railroad station, which in past years has immediately followed the parade, will be held on Sunday.

The Santa Train will leave the train station at 1, 1:30 and 2 p.m. for a ride with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Anyone may ride the train by donating a new, unwrapped toy at the time of boarding. The event is sponsored by the Winnipesaukee Railroad, the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Fund of the Greater Lakes Region.

Other local people ranking in the top 500 are retired Laconia Police Chief Tom Oetinger, whose 2010 pension was listed at $87,999; retired Laconia Police Capt. Timothy Cavanaugh, whose 2010 pension was listed as $75,953; retired Laconia Police Lt. John MacLennan, whose 2010 pension was listed at see next page

from preceding page $64,840; retired Gilford Police Chief Evans Juris, who pension for 2010 was listed at $67,365; retired Belknap County Superior Court Clerk Dana Zucker, whose pension was listed as $66,554; retired Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Deputy Chief Richard Heinis, whose pension is listed at $65,553; retired Laconia Fire Department Lt. Michael Drake, who is listed at $66,554.40 and retired Belknap County Corrections Superintendent Richard Grenier, whose 2010 pension was listed at $60,222.

While Zucker was the highest pension earner among the region’s non-police and fire employees, the only local educator to make the top 500 was retired Gilford Elementary School Principal Michael Tocci, with a 2010 pension of $60,690.

Members who participate in the state retirement system do not pay Social Security taxes and are not eligible for Social Security benefits unless those benefits were earned either previous to or subsequent to their public service.

Since July all Group I (non police or fire) state employees pay seven percent of their salary to the retirement system while police officers pay 11.55-percent and firefighters pay 11.8-percent. The municipalities that employ them must, at this point, match the employee’s contribution at 100 percent although some state funds are available through 2012 to offset this expense.

N.H. retirement system reforms stemmed in part

because of the reaction to the news that retired Dover Police Chief William Fenniman. According to an article in the Union Leader, he was able to add $190,000 in the cash value of unused personal leave time to his final year salary, which qualified him for an annual pension of $135,878. His base salary at retirement was $114,000.

The new law dictates that retirees, depending on when an employees becomes vested in the program and his/her date of employment, cannot earn a pension that exceeds their highest year of compensation.

After his retirement, Fenniman went on to become director of the Division of Juvenile Services and earned another $98,691 annually until his resignation earlier this year.

To many, while the pensions alone are hard enough to swallow, the so-called “double dip” of many retired state, county and municipal employees was also brought to the fore by the Fenniman issue.

Of the above top 500 retirees from the Lakes Region, some are still working in N.H. government jobs. Those who stayed in law enforcement and in fire service are limited to 32 hours a week if they choose a new job that is part of the state retirement system.

Drake is the part-time fire chief for the town of New Hampton; Cavanaugh works as a part-time court security officer in Belknap County Superior Court for a daily stipend; Oetinger is an outreach coordinator for Granite State College, Juris retired see next page

CRAIGSLIST from page 2 — “second body” — implied the discovery was connected with Pauley’s death.

Neighbors where Pauley’s body was found last week and the second body was found Friday said police had been in the area and a helicopter had been overhead most of the day but the scene was quiet late in the day.

Two people from the Akron area are in custody: a high school student who has been charged with attempted murder and 52-year-old Richard Beasley, who is in jail on unrelated charges.

Beasley’s mother has said he has “a very caring heart” and she prays that newspaper reports he is a suspect are wrong.

FBI agents have contacted people to check on their well-being, FBI spokesman Harry Trombitas said Friday in an email.

One was Heather Tuttle, of Ravenna, who applied for the job Oct. 7 but never got a response. She had forgotten about the posting until an FBI agent called and left a message for her Monday.

When she called back, she was stunned at what the agent told her.

“It could have been me,” said Tuttle, 27, who has since taken work as an assistant manager at a gas station. from preceding page from the police department in July of 2005 and went on to serve as Gilford’s Town Administrator until 2008; MacLennan is a part-time police officer for the town of Bow; Heinis stayed on in a limited role at Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid until earlier this year, and Grenier works as an occasional part-time sheriff with the Belknap County Sheriff’s Department.

Grenier is also the primary volunteer bus driver for the Laconia Senior Center.

Tocci has worked as a per-diem principal since his retirment, including a stint at Alton Central School, and Zucker are employed in the private sector.

Smith’s whereabouts are not known by The Daily Sun. While many former state employees, especially those who are Group II state employees, which covers

“When the situation was explained to me, it just instantly made me sick and made me realize how lucky I am that I didn’t get a response back,” she said.

Another man who responded to the ad has said he met Beasley at a food court at a different mall in the Akron area on Oct. 10. Ron Sanson, of Stow, was told the man was looking for an older, single or divorced person to watch over a 688-acre farm in southeast Ohio — the kind of man, Sanson said, whose disappearance might not be quickly noticed.

Sanson and Kern are both divorced. So was Pauley.

Sanson, 58, said he filled out an application and talked for about 20 minutes with Beasley about a $300-a-week job overseeing a swath of land a mile from the nearest neighbor and living rent-free in a two-bedroom trailer with opportunities to hunt and fish and free access to ATVs and snowmobiles.

The farm advertised on Craigslist does not exist; the area where the bodies were found in Noble County is property owned by a coal company and often leased to hunters.

Law enforcement officials have released few details because of the gag order. Hannum, the sheriff in Noble County where Pauley and the South Carolina man were shot, previously said it was unclear how long the ad was online or whether there were other victims. police and fire, used to be able to retire after 20 years of service or upon reaching the age of 45 — most of the above pensioners worked nearly 30 years in their chosen careers and, in many cases, much longer.

The change in the law effective on July 1, 2011 now requires a maximum service of 25 years and ups the minimum retirement age to 50. A retiree must wait until he or she is 52 and 1/2 to get their entire pension.

With the most recent changes in the N.H. Retirement System, the medical subsidy benefit is capped at $375 per month per retiree and at $236 for those who are 65-years-old and Medicare eligible. New rules require those who are under 65 who participate in the state’s insurance plan to pay 12.5 percent of the premium.

EGYPT from page 3 the generals are struggling to overcome the most serious challenge to their nine-month rule, with fewer options now available to them.

Significantly adding to their predicament, the Obama administration brought its position on the crisis in Egypt closer to the protesters’ demands, urging the military to fully empower the next interim civilian government.

“We believe that Egypt’s transition to democracy must continue, with elections proceeding expeditiously, and all necessary measures taken to ensure security and prevent intimidation,” the White House said in a statement.

“Most importantly, we believe that the full transfer of power to a civilian government must take place in a just and inclusive manner that responds to the legitimate aspirations of the Egyptian people, as soon as possible,” it said.

The adjustment in the Obama administration’s approach is significant because the Egyptian military, the nation’s most powerful institution, has in the past 30 years forged close relations with successive U.S. administrations, receiving $1.3 billion annually in aid. It followed the public U.S. endorsement of the military’s original timetable for the transfer of power by late 2012 or early 2013.

The choice of el-Ganzouri, who served as prime minister under Mubarak between 1996 and 1999, deepened the anger of the protesters, already seething over the military’s perceived reluctance to dismantle the legacy of the ousted president’s 29-year rule.

Hundreds of protesters moved from Tahrir Square and began a sit-in outside the headquarters of the Cabinet, a few blocks away, vowing to prevent elGanzouri from entering. “The military council must go,” the crowd chanted, “Military men must not rule.”

The protest movement launched an attempt to unify its demands and present an alternative to el-Ganzouri. Twenty-four protest groups, including two political parties, announced they were creating their own “national salvation” government. They said it would be headed by a presidential council led

Activities of people who Stocks slip to end the roughest week since Sept recruit foreign students

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — As American universities welcome ever-greater numbers of international students, some professors and admissions counselors are questioning the motives of the very professionals who have helped attract so many foreign scholars to their campuses.

Higher education recruiters are under fire from detractors who say they put profit ahead of students’ best interests. Critics accuse them of sending thousands of unqualified applicants to the U.S. every year, sometimes allowing students to skip basic English tests and falsify applications to make a quick commission.

“The student is best served by having the widest range of information available about what might be the best fit,” said Peggy Blumenthal, an executive vice president at the not-for-profit Institute of International Education, which monitors and promotes study abroad programs.

Recruiting agents “have a very large incentive to deliver a student who may not be the best fit.”

A leading group of admissions counselors even proposed an outright ban on the use of international recruiters who are paid based on the number of students they lure to the United States.

College administrators who rely on recruiters are quick to defend them, saying they are more familiar with overseas customs and school systems.

By using recruiters, Missouri State University leaders “can focus on developing and delivering curriculum instead of going out and recruiting students and developing individual sponsors,” said David Meinert, associate dean of the university’s business school. Recruiters are “able to deliver as an intermediary something that we would have trouble delivering.”

Those efforts have contributed significantly to a sharp spike in the number of foreign students seeking an American education. A recent report by Blumenthal’s institute showed a 32 percent increase in the number of international students in the U.S. compared with a decade ago. Nearly a quarter of the students here for the 2010-11 academic year came from China.

Many others hailed from India and South Korea.

Trading volume was 1.6 billion, less than half the daily average.

Markets were battered this week as governments in Europe and the U.S. struggle to tackle their debts.

The Dow lost 248 points on Monday as a Congressional committee failed to reach a deal to cut federal budget deficits. It plunged 236 points Wednesday after investors balked at buying German government debt.

Retailers traded mixed on the Friday after Thanksgiving, the traditional start of the holiday shopping season and usually the busiest day of the year for retailers. Amazon.com Inc. dropped 3.5 percent. Wal-Mart Stores Inc. inched up 0.4 percent.

A record number of people were expected to show up at stores this weekend to take advantage of deep discounts. The National Retail Federation estimates that 152 million people will go shopping over the three days starting on Friday. That would be an increase of 10 percent from last year.

AT&T’s stock dipped less than 1 percent. The company said Thursday that it is budgeting to pay $4 billion in break-up fees if its attempted $39 billion takeover of T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom falls apart.

Advent or Apocolypse!?

NEW YORK (AP) — The worst week for the stock market in two months ended with a whimper in thin trading Friday.

The Dow Jones industrial average lost 4.8 percent this week, while the broader Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 4.7 percent. Both had their worst weeks since Sept. 23.

Major indexes wavered throughout Friday’s session, which was shortened because it’s the day after Thanksgiving. Worries about Europe’s debt crisis flared up again after Italy had to pay 7.8 percent to borrow for two years at a debt auction. It’s another sign that investors are increasingly hesitant to lend to European countries.

The euro slipped to $1.32, losing 2 percent this week against the dollar. The drop puts the euro at its lowest level since Oct. 4.

Higher interest rates on government debt of Italy, Spain and other European countries have rattled stock markets in recent weeks. When borrowing costs climb above the 7 percent threshold, it deepens investor fears about a government’s ability to manage its debts. Greece, Ireland and Portugal had to seek financial lifelines when their interest rates crossed the same mark.

The Dow fell 25.77 points, or 0.2 percent, to close at 11,231.78. Of the Dow’s 30 stocks, Chevron Corp. lost 1.6 percent Friday, the biggest drop. Travelers Cos. Inc. added 1.2 percent, the largest gain.

Lakes Region Tourism Association marks 75 years, adopts new brand

The Lakes Region Tourism Association has unveiled a new for the 75-year-old marketing organization whose primary goal is to inform, educate and excite travelers about the beauty and appeal of the region. Executive Director Amy Landers says the organization’s previous logo (left) has been updated to better suit the worldwide appeal of this unique and popular tourist destination. The new logo was designed by LTD Company of Bedford and Laconia, which also designed nine related

“icons” — lodging, attractions, dining, etc. — that will be used in a new marketing effort. The effort will include a strong emphasis on Internet and social media promotion of the region, along with traditional public relations, print and broadcast promotion. LTD created a unique “story portal” that allows LRTA members to easily communicate stories, photos and videos that will showcase the beauty and fun of the Lakes Region to the world.

Billy Corgan starts wrestling company CHICAGO (AP) — The long-standing relationship between rock music and professional wrestling has a new partner: Billy Corgan.

The Smashing Pumpkins frontman has joined with two wrestling promoter brothers to debut the first show of Resistance Pro, an indie wrestling company, on Friday at a downtown Chicago dance club. Corgan describes himself as a childhood wrestling fan who fell away from it, only to rediscover it as an adult hobby before learning about the business.

“Our vision is to try to grow talent,” Corgan said in an interview from Europe, where the Smashing Pumpkins are on tour. The Chicago-area native will miss Resistance Pro’s opening night, but co-owner and promoter Gabe Baron says a second show will be announced at the Friday event.

“We have people who are going to work for us who are pretty well known on the indie circuit,” Corgan said. “You have to start somewhere, and part of that is creating a curiosity in the audience.”

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis that will stir your soul and nourish your imagination.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Though a big project is now satisfactorily “in the can,” you still have a great deal ahead of you that needs tending.

You’ll gather up your forces and look to the future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Because you are so honest with yourself, you’ll see through the facade that people try to present and into the way they actually are. You’ll note the frailty all around and turn your tender attention where it’s needed most.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

When you are specific and unambiguous, you will get the results you seek.

Also, make it easy for others to help you. A simple question will get a simple answer. A compound question will get no answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Much is going unsaid that could complicate matters. Identify and verbalize what you need to get out of a transaction to make you consider it a success.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There will be a bit of a mystery to solve, and it will come together like a puzzle, one piece at a time. Your persistence and a willingness to experiment will be key to resolving this one.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 26).

What has been trying in the past will now be much easier for you to accomplish. Next month, you’ll be shown favor by those who are difficult to impress.

January brings important financial transactions. You’ll shift your business strategy in February. Lifestyle upgrades come in May. Gemini and Virgo people contribute generously to your life. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 4, 44 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You will maintain your solid stance at the calm center of a swirl of activity. You’ll love the show. It’s like there’s a parade going by just for your entertainment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Messages get mixed up, but that doesn’t have to stop you. A surge of creativity will help you do what traditional methods of communication will fail to accomplish.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You are sincerely invigorated by the presence of others. Be bold enough to show just how thrilled you are to interact with people, and they’ll be charmed by your enthusiasm. You will make them feel important.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You are receptive to trying new things, though you want to know that the risk will be worthwhile. You’ll take steps to avoid feeling “ripped off,” such as investigating further, reading testimonials and looking out for bad reviews.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are family members you would love to connect with more often, but life and distance stand between you. Bridging the gap is a matter of planning. Set aside some time to sort out the details of your next visit.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want a person to possess certain qualities so badly that you may see these qualities regardless of whether they really exist. There’s a chance the individual in question will grow into the role you’ve cast.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In spite of Mercury’s retrograde, you have “mad-skills” in the conversation department, and you’re determined to use them. You’ll engage in the kind of talks

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Nov. 26, the 330th day of 2011. There are 35 days left in the year.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My husband and I have a small online stock trading account. Several months ago, he mentioned that he was thinking of giving our son and daughter-in-law money to open their own stock account. I immediately told him I was against it. I then left to go to the store and thought that was the end of it.

When I arrived home, I found my husband signing a check for $25,000 to our daughter-in-law. We have no agreement that the money will be repaid or that we will be informed as to what happens to it. If I hadn’t returned home when I did, I never even would have known about it.

My husband doesn’t think he did anything wrong. How am I supposed to trust or respect him when he does things like this? Am I justified to feel resentful and betrayed? -Floored Dear Floored: Your husband should not be making unilateral decisions that affect both of you. But by telling him “no” and assuming the matter was settled, you did the same thing. It sounds like this is not so much about the money as it is about who controls it. Giving a large sum to anyone, including a child, requires the cooperation and agreement of all involved parties.

You and your husband need to stop the power plays and talk about this calmly. Admit your own part in creating the problem, and explain how hurt you were that he didn’t take your feelings into account. We don’t know if this money was a gift or a loan or how you want to handle it, but the discussion should end with the agreement that neither of you will do this again without the consent of the other.

Dear Annie: My wife and I have no children, so we try to reach out to the nieces and nephews on both sides of the family. We always make the effort to visit them when we are in their area, and for the most part, they reciprocate the love we

extend.

However, we are perplexed about the total lack of social graces of one nephew’s wife. To our knowledge, we have never given this young woman any reason to treat us in the manner she does. We dread future visits for fear one of us may be tempted to say something to her about her lack of civility. What do we do when she behaves like this again?

-- Confused in West Virginia Dear Confused: Talk to the nephew. Ask as sweetly as possible whether you have done something unintentionally offensive to his wife, because she seems to dislike you. Ask how to make the relationship better. She simply may be socially inept and covering it with what appears to be rudeness but is in reality shyness or discomfort. Give your nephew the opportunity to address it with his wife and work on it.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Daughter-in-Law in Distress,” whose husband is verbally abused by his father and sisters. This woman needs to give her husband a great big hug! His father is a mean and calculating bully who enjoys watching others, including his own grandchildren, squirm.

When I was a child, I had adult relatives who found pleasure and power in making fun of us for everything from the pimples on our faces to whether or not we could hit a ball.

Our parents taught us to be seen and not heard, so we did not respond to these thoughtless, painful remarks. Neither did our parents.

I am now 58 years old and a strong individual. To this day, however, when there is a family gathering, I am so filled with anxiety that I have difficulty breathing. I love these people, but they have no idea at what cost.

I commend this dad for protecting his children and putting them first. They are richly blessed. -- Made it Through

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, November 26, 2011— Page 27

Winni Playhouse donates prom & formal dresses to ‘Gowns for Girls’ LACONIA — the Winnipesaukee Playhouse has donated numerous prom and formal dresses to the Faith, Hope and Love Foundation, a local 501-c-3 non profit that was established in 2006 whose mission is to bring relief to children and youth suffering from hunger or homelessness and to bring them hope, through faith and love, so that they may accomplish all of their dreams.

F.H.L gives out grants and an annual college scholarship to youth in need, volunteers with local non profits and holds an annual “Gowns for Girls” event.

“Gowns for Girls” is an event open to all high school aged girls in N.H. to pick out a dress for free! With the rising costs of attending a prom and with the many different economic situations, many families cannot afford the high school tradition. Each year generous community members donate new or gently worn dresses to the young women of N.H. so they too can partake in that special night!

This school year, F.H.L will be holding

its annual dress drive in March 2012.

For more information on F.H.L please visit their website www.faithhopeandlovefoundation.org or follow them on Facebook-The Faith, Hope, and Love Foundation.

The Winnipesaukee Playhouse was very excited to help out the Faith, Hope and Love Foundation and was happy to be able to donate dresses for local girls in need. The Winnipesaukee Playhouse is a nonprofit organization that serves to develop and stage professional and community-based theatrical productions and to provide opportunities in theatre and the performing arts for the community. The Playhouse was founded in 2004 with the vision of bringing quality arts and arts education to The Lakes Region.

The theatre has become a cultural gem in the area winning both critical acclaim and becoming an important outlet for the performing arts in central New Hampshire. For more information on the play house visit http:// www.winniplayhouse.org/index.html

LRGH Nursery Guild donates $4,500 to organizations LACONIA — The Lakes Region General Hospital Nursery Guild has donated a total of $4,500 to several organizations in the Lakes Region.

Organizations that will be receiving monetary donations from the LRGH Nursery Guild are: St Vincent de Paul Food Pantry, Twin Rivers Food Pantry, LPD Family Fund, St Vincent de Paul Angel Fund, Citizen Santa Fund, St Joseph Church Food Pantry, Baby Days at the Children’s Auction and the LRGH Nursing Scholarship.

THANKS from p 23 to purchase life-saving equipment needs.

“We couldn’t be happier to donate more than $22,000 to these fire departments,” said Tom Boucher, owner and CEO of Great NH Restaurants. “These firefighters continually give back to our communities every day, and we’re proud that our guests once again are able to keep up their generous efforts.”

Since 2005, Great NH Restaurants have raised nearly $125,000 for New Hampshire-based charities and organizations through the Thanks for Giving fundraiser.
