LACONIA - A local man ran afoul of the police three times in one day for allegedly “huffing” — inhaling chemicals from aerosol cans.

Police said Keith Lemire, 38, of 153 Old Prescott Hill Road was initially placed into protective custody at 1:13 p.m.

Friday when someone called to report he was inhaling toxic chemicals from an aerosol can at his home.

Police took him into protective custody and, because of the very short-term effects of inhalants, within minutes he was sober. Inhaling chemicals from aerosol cans is a violation but must be witnessed by a police officer to merit a citation.

At 7:15 p.m. police and fire returned to 153 Prescott Hill Road and because Lemire had removed the telephone cord from the wall of his home to prevent the home owner from calling police, he was placed into protective custody for a second time and charged with a B-level misdemeanor of obstructing the reporting of a crime. see HUFFInG page 11

Police to team up with Huot Center to offer course on law enforcement careers

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — The Huot Regional Technical Education Center is looking to partner with local law enforcement and offer a senior-level class in law enforcement.

Huot Director Scott Davis, who recently graduated from the Citizen’s Police Academy, said he and retired Laconia Police Chief Mike Moyer had talked about a possible program last

spring before Moyer’s retirement and have worked together to develop a curriculum that would be acceptable to the N.H. Department of Education.

He said he had continued to develop the curriculum with work with Moyer and current Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams.

Davis told the School Board last night that the class would be taught by Moyer and Lt. Matt Canfield at the Police see POLICe CLass page 8

Back to the future: Chrysler to call Fiat-based compact the Dart

Obama sets campaign theme: middle class at stake

DETROIT (AP) — The Dodge Dart, a 1960s compact car that gearheads turned into street racers, is making a comeback.

Chrysler said Tuesday that it will use the Dart name for a new compact car based on Italian technology that it will introduce in the U.S. next year.

The Dart, which is expected to get 40 miles per gallon of gas on the highway, is an extremely important car for Chrysler Group LLC, which currently has outdated offerings in the fast-growing compact car market. Young buyers in the U.S. generally pick compacts as their first new cars, and research shows they’ll stick with a brand if they like their first vehicle.

The new car is based on the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, a compact sold in Europe, but will be wider and longer to handle Americans’ need for more space. Chrysler said in a statement that the four-door sedan will perform well and be efficient.

It’s the first car sold by Chrysler dealers that is based on Fiat underpinnings.

The Dart, due in showrooms during the first half of next year, will replace the Dodge Caliber, a slow-selling compact SUV that is based on a Spartan design from Chrysler’s lean years before bankruptcy protection. Two other compact SUVs, the Jeep Compass and Patriot, will still be sold.

The Dart also is important to Fiat because the Italian company will get another 5 percent stake in Chrysler once it starts making a car in the U.S. that gets 40 mpg. see DART page 4

OSAWATOMIE, Kan. (AP) — Declaring the American middle class in jeopardy, President Barack Obama on Tuesday outlined a populist economic vision that will drive his re-election bid, insisting the United States must reclaim its standing as a country in which everyone can prosper if provided “a fair shot and a fair share.”

While never making an overt plea for a second term, Obama’s offered his most comprehensive lines of attack against the candidates seeking to take his job, only a month before Republican voters begin choosing a presidential nominee. He also sought to inject some of the long-overshadowed hope that

energized his 2008 campaign, saying: “I believe America is on its way up.”

In small-town Osawatomie, in a high school gym where patriotic bunting lined the bleachers, Obama presented himself as the one fighting for shared sacrifice and success against those who would gut government and let people fend for themselves. He did so knowing the nation is riven over the question of whether economic opportunity for all is evaporating.

“Throughout the country, it’s sparked protests and political movements, from the tea party to the people who’ve been occupying the streets of New York and other cities,” Obama said.

“This is the defining issue of our time,” he said in echoing President Theodore Roosevelt’s famous speech here in 1910.

“This is a make-or-break moment for the middle class and all those who are fighting to get into the middle class,” Obama said. “At stake is whether this will be a country where working people can earn enough to raise a family, build a modest savings, own a home and secure their retirement.”

For Obama, saddled with a weak national economic recovery, the speech was a chance to break away from Washington’s incremental battles and see OBAMA page 8

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A 19-year-old man has filed a complaint with state police alleging he was sexually abused by Jerry Sandusky after the former coach gave him liquor on the Penn State campus in 2004, the accuser’s lawyer said Tuesday.

Charles Schmidt said the client, whom he did not identify, went to his law firm about three weeks ago, after Sandusky was charged with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period.

“He suffered one incident of abuse, to use the legal term — involuntary deviate sexual intercourse — allegedly at

the hands of Mr. Sandusky,” Schmidt said. “That occurred on the Penn State campus, we believe in the area of the football facilities.”

Sandusky’s lawyer, Joseph Amendola, said he was unfamiliar with the allegations Schmidt was making.

The new claim came the day a lawyer for another young man who accused Sandusky of sexual abuse said he expects his client and at least five other accusers to testify at a preliminary hearing next week.

The lawyer said he has information that the six young men whose testimony before a grand jury contrib-

uted to a report detailing allegations against Sandusky will be called to testify next Tuesday. The attorney spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because he said he is trying to ensure his client’s identity isn’t revealed publicly.

Sandusky is charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, and prosecutors allege he met his victims through a charity he founded in 1977 to help atrisk children, The Second Mile. Sandusky, 67, denies being a pedophile and has vowed to fight the charges.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — In Afghanistan’s first major sectarian assault since the fall of the Taliban regime a decade ago, a suicide bomber slaughtered 56 Shiite worshippers and wounded more than 160 others Tuesday outside a Shiite shrine in the capital.

The body of a woman, clutching a dead child in each arm, was sprawled along a dirt road littered with shoes, bloodstained clothing, hats and body

parts after the blast, which took place as a bombing killed four Shiites in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif.

A loudspeaker at the shrine blasted a recitation of the Quran as ambulances with loud sirens rushed in to carry away the dead and wounded. Outside a hospital in Kabul, a man sobbing with other relatives cried out “Mother! My mother!”

The Taliban condemned the attack, which was reminiscent of the wave of

sectarian bloodshed that shook Iraq during the height of the war there.

Suspicion centered on militant groups based in neighboring Pakistan where Sunni attacks on minority Shiites are common.

A man who claimed to be from Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a Pakistan-based group that has carried out attacks against Shiite Muslims, called various media see AFGHANISTAN page 4

Carroll County jail escapee who vowed revenge captured in Rochester CONCORD (AP) — A burglary suspect who escaped from a New Hampshire jail and vowed revenge on two people in Maine was caught Tuesday after five days on the lam, police said.

David Glenn Hobson was captured Tuesday evening by U.S. marshals near a grocery store in Rochester, N.H., where he’d been picked up in a vehicle by a friend, Maine state police spokesman Steve McCausland said. He did not have a gun, like authorities had suspected, and was arrested without incident, McCausland said.

“He was quickly taken into custody,” said McCausland, who said police had gotten a tip late in the afternoon.

Hobson, 33, was in custody Tuesday evening and couldn’t be reached for comment. His family has declined to talk.

Hobson escaped from an Ossipee, N.H., jail, about 35 miles away from where he was captured, on Dec. 1 by scaling a razor-wire fence in the recreation yard, authorities said. Police believed he had a gun and appeared to hold a grudge against two people with whom he once had a personal relationship.

U.S. Marshal Noel March said the two were aware of the threats and were “in a safe place.”

N.H. agrees to repay $35M in hospital aid to Uncle Sam

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire will return $35 million in Medicaid payments for failure to comply with Medicaid requirements in 2004.

The New Hampshire Attorney General’s Office Tuesday released a repayment schedule calling for quarterly payments in excess of $4 million each year over the next two fiscal years.

The funds were used in 2004 to help 26 hospitals in the state offset costs of treating their most vulnerable patients. The funds went to hospitals that serve a disproportionate share of low income or uninsured patients.

The state appealed a federal ruling that it must repay the funds and recently lost a motion for reconsideration of the adverse ruling.

The money will be repaid to the federal health department’s Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

CMS disqualified the $35 million in 2009.

Hobson, whose criminal record includes a series of burglary convictions, wasn’t going after past victims, March said before the capture.

But one of those burglary victims said she had lived in fear of Hobson since he ransacked her home several times in 2005 looking for pain medication she takes for a disability.

Hobson pleaded guilty in 2006 to more than a dozen burglaries, including one at the home of Lynne Mansur of Alfred, Maine. He went to Alfred after his escape and bought clothes there, authorities said.

Mansur told The Associated Press earlier on Tuesday that the most valuable thing Hobson stole from her was her sense of security.

“I’m scared and shaking and sleeping with all sorts of things around me,” Mansur said, adding that she keeps knives, tear gas and an air horn near her bed. “I’m really thinking I just need to leave my house, and that’s not right.”

Mansur said she had been reassured by authorities that she wasn’t one of the people Hobson was after. She was contacted by a victim advocate for the York County district attorney’s office soon after Hobson’s escape.

“It doesn’t protect me, but it makes me feel like

I’m not totally alone,” Mansur said.

March vowed earlier Tuesday that Hobson would be caught but that law enforcement officials would prefer he turn himself in so no one gets hurt.

“David Glenn Hobson is not Houdini and he’s not Whitey Bulger,” March said before the capture, referring to the famous escape artist and the notorious Boston mob boss who was on the lam for more than 16 years. “It’s important to point out this is not the manhunt of the century.”

March had implored Hobson to turn himself in to end the stress on his family “and the anxiety he is causing the community at large.”

Homes belonging to Hobson’s relatives in the greater Alfred and Sanford areas in southern Maine, about 30 miles away from where he was captured, were searched and were watched closely by law enforcement officials, Noel said. Relatives were interviewed multiple times, he said.

Hobson’s father was arrested Friday and was charged with hindering apprehension after being accused of leaving supplies for Hobson outside his Alfred home. Police said the package included food, water, medical supplies, blankets and clothing. see ESCAPE page 11

AFGHANISTAN from page 2 outlets in Pakistan to claim responsibility for the bombing in Kabul. The validity of the claim could not be determined.

Until now, the decade-long Afghan war has largely been spared sectarian violence, where civilians are targeted simply for their membership in a particular religious group. Tuesday’s attack suggests that at least some militant groups may have shifted tactics, taking aim at ethnic minorities such as the Hazara who are largely Shiite and support the Afghan government and its Western partners.

The Afghan Taliban, who are mostly ethnic Pashtuns and nearly all Sunni Muslims, had been attempting to diversify their ranks, expanding to areas outside their southern homeland, recruiting

some Tajiks and others and forging an alliance with Uzbek militants in the north in an attempt to present themselves as a national resistance movement.

Unlike some Iraqi militant groups — who consider anybody from the rival community a legitimate target — the Taliban have generally refrained from mass attacks against purely civilian targets.

They usually focus instead on the U.S.-led coalition, Afghan forces or government offices, although recently the Taliban have been responsible for a rising number of civilian deaths in smaller attacks, according to a U.N. report.

Tuesday’s powerful explosion in Kabul was the deadliest attack in the capital since July 7, 2008, when a suicide car bombing at the gates of the Indian Embassy killed more than 60 people.

DART from page one The Dart will be produced at the Chrysler assembly plant in Belvidere, Ill., where the company is investing $600 million.

Chrysler said the Dart, to be formally introduced in January at the Detroit auto show, will offer three choices for a four-cylinder engine. It has a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that also goes in the high-performance Fiat 500, a 2-liter four and a larger 2.4liter engine.

The Dart comes at a critical time for Chrysler, with strong growth projected in the compact car segment. Compacts could unseat midsize cars this year as the largest U.S. market segment for the first time in at least two decades, according to J.D. Power and Associates, a marketing information firm.

Rebecca Lindland, senior analyst for the IHS Automotive consulting firm, said growth in compacts will continue as the segment attracts young first-time buyers as well as baby boomers who are downsizing their cars.

General Motors has taken advantage of the growth with the Chevrolet Cruze, the company’s first decent small car in recent years, she said. The Cruze, which was just introduced last year, is among the top-selling compacts in the nation through November.

She said the Dart will have to be really good because competition in the segment is fierce.

“You’ve got to have your best game face,” Lindland said.

Chrysler nearly ran out of cash in 2008 and needed a $12.5 billion government bailout to survive bankruptcy protection. In exchange for management expertise and technology, the government gave Fiat SpA control of Chrysler and a 20 percent stake in the company.

Under Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne, who now leads both automakers, Chrysler repaid its government loans, and Fiat bought the government’s stock in Chrysler. The government will lose $1.3 billion of its original $12.5 billion bailout.

Fiat now controls Chrysler with a 53.3 percent stake in the company. Under a 2009 deal with the government, Fiat got a 20 percent stake after Chrysler exited bankruptcy protection. Fiat gradually raised its stake and gained a majority share in July, when it bought the U.S. Treasury’s remaining shares.

hat’s a terrifically handsome Husky puppy doing at New Hampshire Humane Society when he should be laying in the collective laps of a new family?

Stormy was born in a shelter in Alabama, not brought to the shelter, not found in the back woods and transported, Born in a kennel in a high kill shelter.

What a stressful start to life for this lovely creature.

Lucky for Stormy and his entire litter, they travelled to New Hampshire where dogs find homes every day. The granite state is a dog loving state for sure. With just a little luck and help from his friends, Stormy can find a ‘Husky savvy” home.

Folks, just take a breath and a step back before rushing to our adoption center on Meredith Center Road: ask “Can I provide the exercise this dog needs?” and “Can I continue with strong pack leadership, and lessons staff are already instituting at NHHS?” Puppy classes are required as part of Stormy’s adoption contract to ensure he continues

to blossom and flourish as a well rounded boy. Ideal home, energetic folks with older children.

Stormy hopes he’ll be home for the holidays with his own stocking full of treats to play with

on Christmas morning.

Blagojevich’s lawyer admits former governor’s guilt, asks court for leniency CHICAGO (AP) — After all his claims of innocence and facing years in prison, Rod Blagojevich let his lawyers make an admission that he has so far avoided making — that he was, in fact, guilty of public corruption.

The former Illinois governor will get a chance to do the same Wednesday, when he is scheduled to address the judge who will decide his fate.

Judge James Zagel signaled on Tuesday, however, that he may be prepared to impose a stiff prison sentence, saying he thinks Blagojevich lied when he told jurors that he never tried to sell or trade an appointment to President Barack Obama’s vacated Senate seat for campaign cash or a top job.

Throughout the first day of his two-day sentencing hearing, the impeached executive-turned-reality TV star known for his jocular personality was somber and ill-at-ease, starting down at the floor. His wife sobbed when a letter from their daughter begged Zagel not to send him to prison.

The hearing was a stark contrast to the circus atmosphere around Blagojevich’s trial on multiple counts of corruption.

The conciliatory tone came as something of a sur-

prise — just days after defense filings that, as many times before, stridently declared Blagojevich’s innocence and said that he had been duped by aides but never intended to cross any lines into illegality.

Attorney Sheldon Sorosky told Zagel that it was illegal for Blagojevich to ask for a job for himself in exchange for his naming of the replacement.

“There’s no doubt this is a crime to do this in relation to the Senate seat, we accept that,” he said. “I am just saying that does not call for a 15- to 20-year jail” term as prosecutors have requested.

Sorosky made the same argument when he talked about the other crimes for which Blagojevich was convicted — shaking down a racetrack executive and a hospital executive, as well as lying to the FBI. But he said none of Blagojevich’s actions merit the sentence recommended by prosecutors.

Blagojevich, who sat at a defense table in a dark pinstripe suit, was expected to address Zagel on Wednesday.

Legal experts have said he needs to display some remorse.

At the hearing, Blagojevich ringed his hands and pulled nervously at his fingers — pausing occasion-

Correction: Jan. 9 hearing in Belmont will also cover $1.5M sewer upgrade

The January 9 public hearing for Belmont residents is to provide information and opinions concerns the borrowing of a proposed $1.5-million to improve and or replace five of the sewer pump stations in town. The second portion of the public hearing is for residents to weigh in on how they

ally to sip on a plastic bottle of Cherry Coke.

As defense attorney Aaron Goldstein began reading a letter to the judge from his older daughter, 15-year-old Amy, the former governor suddenly seemed to fight to maintain his composer, fidgeting with a pen, biting on his lip. An attorney turned to gently pat his shoulder.

Zagel also seemed more engaged in what Goldstein was saying as he described Blagojevich — the father. Blagojevich’s wife Patti also began sobbing — tears streaming down her cheeks, then dabbing her reddened face with a tissue.

Patti Blagojevich closed her eyes tight, tears still rolling down her face, when Goldstein played a tape recording of a giddy Blagojevich calling his youngest daughter and putting on a high baby-like voice, saying — “Hey Annie!”

Zagel, who has said he’ll pronounce a sentence Wednesday, said earlier that Blagojevich was clearly the ringleader of the schemes for which he was convicted, and that he lied about his actions on the witness stand.

In comments that could signal a lengthy prison sentence, Zagel made it clear that he did not believe a suggestion made by defense attorneys that Blagojevich was duped by aides and advisers.

“There is no question from his tone of voice that he was demanding,” Zagel said of Blagojevich’s comments on phone conversations secretly recorded by the FBI. “His role as leader is clearly shown by his actions.”

And in a harsh assessment of Blagojevich’s performance on the witness stand, Zagel said the former governor was lying when he testified that he planned to appoint the state’s attorney general to Obama’s seat in a legal political deal.

Thank You

To all those that came out to Patrick’s on November 20th, to show their support

and to all those that couldn’t make it but showed your support through donations and well words, I will never be able to express just how grateful I am to all of you. Over 100 items were donated for the live and silent auction that was held that evening. The items ranged from: homemade jewelry, hats and paintings, trips, personal services, gift cards, gift baskets, services to use at local businesses--the list goes on and on. To all those that gave a little piece of themselves to help me; thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I had no expectations for that night and when the night was through I was speechless and in disbelief of the outcome. Everyone chipped in and gave so much--- if only I could find a way to repay you all… I guess just know I would do the exact same for each one of you in a heartbeat.

I

have to give special thanks to Patrick’s for allowing us to have the auction there. Without your restaurant I do not know if any of this would have been possible.

Also, your contributing a generous donation from the food sales that night was not necessary given all that you had already done but it was very appreciated!

I

have to give the biggest thank you to my Father, Randy Annis and my Stepmother, Mia Annis. Without them this would never happened. They worked so hard to make this a successful event and it ended up being more successful than anyone could have ever imagined. I love you both very much.

I

also would like to thank my Sisters, Samantha Hawkins and Lydia Bartlett for all your support and keeping the auction in order. To all my Aunts that helped get the auction organized and to my mother, Anne Bartlett and Stepfather, Andy Bartlett for being their showing your love and support.

A

nd a special thanks to my husband, David Colby for loving me more each day, for always supporting me, and always standing by my side reminding me that we will get through this together and that I will never have to fight this battle alone.

T

he success of that evening was above and beyond what anyone could have imagined. I will never forget that night and what so many people did for me. I will be forever grateful to all of you. If I could give anything back to all of you it will be that I will be the 1 out of hundreds who has and beats cancer-- I will take all of it so you guys will never have to know its misery.

O

ne day they will find a cure for Breast Cancer but until then we can never give up the fight.

Love, Amy Elizabeth Colby

Did FDR provoke Pearl Harbor?

On Dec. 8, 1941, Franklin Roosevelt took the rostrum before a joint session of Congress to ask for a declaration of war on Japan. A day earlier, at dawn, carrier-based Japanese aircraft had launched a sneak attack devastating the U.S. battle fleet at Pearl Harbor.

Said ex-President Herbert Hoover, Republican statesman of the day, “We have only one job to do now, and that is to defeat Japan.”

But to friends, he sent another message: “You and I know that this continuous putting pins in rattlesnakes finally got this country bit.”

Today, 70 years after Pearl Harbor, a remarkable secret history, written from 1943 to 1963, has come to light. It is Hoover’s explanation of what happened before, during and after the world war that may prove yet the death knell of the West. Edited by historian George Nash, “Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover’s History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath” is a searing indictment of FDR and the men around him as politicians who lied prodigiously about their desire to keep America out of war, even as they took one deliberate step after another to take us into war.

Yet the book is no polemic. The 50-page run-up to the war in the Pacific uses memoirs and documents from all sides to prove Hoover’s indictment. And perhaps the best way to show the power of this book is the way Hoover does it — chronologically, painstakingly, week by week.

Consider Japan’s situation in the summer of 1941. Bogged down in a four year war in China she could neither win nor end, having moved into French Indochina, Japan saw herself as near the end of her tether.

Inside the government was a powerful faction led by Prime Minister Prince Fumimaro Konoye that desperately did not want a war with the United States. The pro-Anglo-Saxon camp included the navy, whose officers had fought alongside the U.S. and Royal navies in World War I, while the war party was centered on the army, Gen. Hideki Tojo and Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka, a bitter anti-American.

On July 18, 1941, Konoye ousted Matsuoka, replacing him with the pro-Anglo-Saxon Adm. Teijiro Toyoda. The U.S. response: On July 25, we froze all Japanese assets in the United States, ending all exports and imports, and denying Japan the oil upon which the nation and empire depended.

Stunned, Konoye still pursued his peace policy by winning secret support from the navy and army to meet FDR on the U.S. side of the Pacific to hear and respond to U.S. demands. U.S. Ambassador Joseph Grew implored Washington not to ignore Konoye’s offer, that the prince had convinced

him an agreement could be reached on Japanese withdrawal from Indochina and South and Central China.

Out of fear of Mao’s armies and Stalin’s Russia, Tokyo wanted to hold a buffer in North China.

On Aug. 28, Japan’s ambassador in Washington presented FDR a personal letter from Konoye imploring him to meet. Tokyo begged us to keep Konoye’s offer secret, as the revelation of a Japanese prime minister’s offering to cross the Pacific to talk to an American president could imperil his government.

On Sept. 3, the Konoye letter was leaked to the Herald-Tribune.

On Sept. 6, Konoye met again at a three-hour dinner with Grew to tell him Japan now agreed with the four principles the Americans were demanding as the basis for peace.

No response.

On Sept. 29, Grew sent what Hoover describes as a “prayer” to the president not to let this chance for peace pass by.

On Sept. 30, Grew wrote Washington, “Konoye’s warship is ready waiting to take him to Honolulu, Alaska or anyplace designated by the president.”

No response. On Oct. 16, Konoye’s cabinet fell.

In November, the U.S. intercepted two new offers from Tokyo: a Plan A for an end to the China war and occupation of Indochina and, if that were rejected, a Plan B, a modus vivendi where neither side would make any new move. When presented, these, too, were rejected out of hand.

At a Nov. 25 meeting of FDR’s war council, Secretary of War Henry Stimson’s notes speak of the prevailing consensus: “The question was how we should maneuver them (the Japanese) into ... firing the first shot without allowing too much danger to ourselves.”

“We can wipe the Japanese off the map in three months,” wrote Navy Secretary Frank Knox.

As Grew had predicted, Japan, a hara-kiri nation, proved more likely to fling herself into national suicide for honor than to allow herself to be humiliated.

Out of the war that arose from the refusal to meet Prince Konoye came scores of thousands of U.S. dead, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, the fall of China to Mao Zedong, U.S. wars in Korea and Vietnam, and the rise of a new arrogant China that shows little respect for the great superpower of yesterday.

If you would know the history that made our world, spend a week with Mr. Hoover’s book.

LETTERS Rep. Tobin’s conduct in ‘birther’ protest showed lack of judgement To the editor, I have thought long and hard and slept on what I would write about an amicable exchange with Representative Bill Tobin outside the Sanbornton Historical Society Lane Tavern last Saturday during its Christmas Wreath Sale.

I approached Bill during a quiet moment when only my husband and I were there to share greetings of the season. I then asked him to explain his support of the “Birthers,” which had been documented in local papers.

Bill’s response was to refer to the public meeting of the Ballot Law Commission on November 18, to which he said “clearly, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time”. He reported that he and his wife had been in the Statehouse on that ill reputed day and went to sit in on the public hearing in the Legislative Office Building to observe what was going on. He stated that he had nothing to do with the outrage of some of his fellow representatives and that he was only seeking more information. He encouraged me to watch the video clips on You Tube to support his statements.

As Bill suggested, I went on line and saw him on two video clips watching closely but not speaking at the meeting. Further research took me from You Tube to the website of Dr. Orly Taitz (“birther Queen of California”) and into the Office of the Secretary of State. I was also able to track down

the Additional Complainants document with Bill Tobin’s signing on as a supporter of the Taitz complaint that challenges President Obama’s right to be on the 2012 ballot on the basis of having a fraudulent Social Security number and birth certificate.

Whatever the reason for Bill Tobin to put his signature on the Additional Complainant document supporting Dr. Taitz does not bode well for his constituents. Bill was elected on the basis of job creation and cutting expenditures in the budget. His behavior in this situation shows lack of judgment which has marginalized him from the Republican Party leadership which has already denounced the complaint in the strongest language and those who support it. Bill will be less effective with the decision makers in Concord at a time when all small towns need strong representation.

When we elect our public officials we can not always anticipate the events and initiatives that they will be forced to deal with at the Legislature. Consequently, its really important that we elect those with experience and good judgment that will help them make the right decisions on our behalf. In 2012, let’s make sure we all get to know our candidates and do our own “litmus” test on their judgment and understanding of their roles in Concord.

LETTERS Keynesian strategies brought us out of economic troubles 6X

Maybe we should look at curtailing our appetite for government

To the editor, The first thing that struck me in Marc Abear’s “Loss of freedom is implicit with carrying too much debt” was his statement “in the long run, the market is absolutely rational”.

To me that is like saying “in the long run humans are absolutely rational.

Neither are guaranteed. This belief is an article of faith in the religion of so-called free market. There is no such thing as a completely free market that is rational because of human nature.

Keynes criticized the Hayek/Mises economic model because it ignored the elephant in the room he called “Animal Spirits”. IT IS US! Because of human irrationality, manic speculation, mood swings, emotional instabilities, and zealous avarice, there can never be a free market without regulations of the “animal spirits”. Just as we humans need rules and regulations in a free society, so does the market which we operate with our wills. Its never “free”.

Free market solutions have never brought us out of deep recessions or depressions in a timely fashion. In the last century, the chosen method has been the Keynesian method, whether it be conservative or liberal versions of such. Furthermore, economic turmoil has usually been caused by these “animal spirits”. Industrial leaders, moneychangers and politicians sequester the nation’s wealth through corporate political methods. This is how the gulf between the rich and the poor increases. The most insidious is the corruption resulting from corporate buyouts of politicians. This truly destructive alliance creates laws and the lack of them whereby there is a massive redistribution of wealth upward to a corporate monarchy.

In the last 30 years, wages for working class families have been almost flat. while the income of the top 1-percent has grown almost 300-percent.

Back in the 1970s a CEO made about 70 times as much as his workers. Now he makes several hundred times as much. If one looks at a typical chart of the last 30-50 years you will see middle class wages are fairly stagnant but the line designating top earner’s pay looks like a steep mountain climb! If the trickled-down supply sider model worked you would see in charts a corresponding rise in the wealth of the middle class. Its absent. The reason why the wealth of the nation is being heavily redistributed to the very top is that they own the politicians who make the laws. Chart after chart provides powerful evidence that supply-

To the editor, The last night of November, the U. S. Senate, with Republican support, adopted by voice vote an amendment introduced by Oregon Democrat Jeff Merkley calling on President Obama to speed up U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. Republicans Mike Lee and Rand Paul were among 21 sponsors of that amendment. Presidential candidate Congressman Ron Paul that Wednesday night was in a packed hotel ballroom in Portsmouth. Our first three spontaneous rounds of applause came with his voicing “stop the wars” or “bring home the troops.”

He’d also start closing expensive military bases that are remnants, really, of postWWII needs. Why do we need military in Germany and Japan?

Then on Thursday night at Laconia’s Belknap Mill (standing-room-only crowd), Ron Paul said we should run foreign policy according to the Golden Rule.

He spoke against the dehumanizing term “collateral damage” when our unmanned drones and other bombs kill civilians. We should not do in other countries what we would not want done to us. On troop withdrawals from Iraq, “Romney, Gingrich (Gingrich was for it before he was against it), and other Republican candidates — not Ron Paul — slammed President Obama for withdrawing U.S. troops in compliance with President Bush’s Status of Forces Agreement. But 63-percent of Republicans told CBS that they agreed with President Obama’s decision.”

(Robert Naimin in “War-Weary Republicans Rebuke Romney on Afghanistan”) I’ve thought about Ron Paul’s plan to

Serving in Congress should be honor, not a career with pension time, exempt themselves; their golden health and pension plans are but two.

In summary, it states that “if you conducted your affairs (no pun intended) the way Congress conducts the nation’s, you would probably go to prison”.

I also agree that it makes no difference which party that you elect. They are, for the most part, not there to work for the good of the country, their first priority is to keep getting elected and ride the gravy train until there is nothing left.

The Citizen editorial of December 1 see next page

s

To the editor, I read with interest, The Citizen’s guest editorial dated November 29. I agree with it’s statement that “most members of Congress act as if they are entitled to slop at the public trough”.

It goes on to point out some examples such as the 60 Minutes report that some members appear to be using non-public information to make stock market trades. This is totally illegal for we, the unwashed masses, but apparently not so for the elite members of Congress. It goes on to point out some of the many

close some D.C. bureaucracies. Our Congress won’t fund our U. S. Dept. of Education’s pricey mandates? Stop the charade, close that bureaucracy, and let the “top” thinking on education come from our state education departments. It will work for us in N.H. I’m not so sure about Arkansas and Mississippi, for example. We may see a pendulum swing, and after a federal bureaucracy is closed, it may later be needed again, with more thoughtful commitment to it.

This year the Environmental Protection Agency tried to reinstate a sciencebased higher standard to decrease air pollution. Pres. Obama caved to pressure from industries that see that as “regulation,” so didn’t want it. We have the lower standard of Bush-Cheney days. We still have secrecy surrounding chemicals pushed into aquifers and groundwater by the fracking industry, permission for that secrecy granted by Bush-Cheney. So the EPA is an ineffective, hands-tied agency.

Let it go. It’s only 1-percent of our federal budget, compared to 60-percent for defense, war, veterans affairs and nuclear weapons, but! (One Minute for Peace at afsc.org) Once people realize we really are not protected regarding our basic water/ air needs, we may pay attention and do a better job electing policy makers.

Ron Paul in Portsmouth said, “People need to change their appetite for government,” a statement worth studying, since other of our appetites are proving unsustainable. Ron Paul may appeal successfully to both Tea Party voters and Occupy supporters, our new critics of the status quo.

s

side corporatism is a road to serfdom; a world where we all work for lower wages. The richest job creators are setting the agenda of their servants in Congress and you are paying for it in every one of your paychecks.

Let me ask a simple question. Have you become a slacker? Do you produce less and less each year? Of course not.

And have the top earner’s work ethics and productivity gone into cosmic overdrive? Of course not. Its the corporatist sleazery that has exploded.

Nothing has changed in how we all work. The reason why the data show such a discrepancy in income rise that refutes the trickle down model is that politicians are in the pay of powerful lobbyists and their corporations.

This is not a free market; its a rigged market fashioned by corporatists who consider themselves America’s Monarchy. We are all Walmart employees to the Koch Brothers! When income is adjusted for the cost of living, some of you are making LESS than you made 20 years ago. Not so for the folks who have bought the politicians and set their agendas. While the job-creator’s wealth has exploded, they seem to have forgotten to create jobs.

Contrary to Mr Abear’s claim that Keynes was constricted, the years 1945-1975 were called “The Age of Keynes”. Keynesian strategies brought us out of the economic troubles of 1945, 1948-1949, 1952-1953, 1958, and the early 1960s. The recession of 1990-1992 is another example of successful Keynesian applications.

Demand-side tax cuts, benefit extensions and jobs programs worked in every case just they did in the mid1930s. Cuts never help in hard times which leads me to this: Mr Abear wants us to employ failed strategies; he not once brings up raising revenues to lower the debt when it is the most practical method when joined with prudent cuts. As long as GOP prohibits raising revenues, rebuilding America, and other jobs programs, we will move out of these hard times at a snail’s pace — which was their plan all along. Ending the Bush tax cuts for top earners would pump a minimum of ten trillion dollars into the economy in a decade. They were supposed to expire so let ‘em!

“BUT NO!” say the politicians, “we must babysit and protect the rich at all costs because they own us! They are the job creators!” I say then, where are the jobs?

POLICE CLASS from page one Department with the assistance of other officers. It would be funded through a grant program for technical education.

In a telephone interview last night, Moyer said the program would be very similar to a very successful one in Burlington, Vt. and that he and Davis have used its curriculum as a prototype to be submitted to the DOE for approval.

Davis said many of his students have expressed a great deal of interest in either a future in law enforcement and/or the military and this program would be a prelude to either the police academy, the military, or a post-high school career path in criminal justice and law.

For the initial pilot program, Davis said he and Adams would have a vetting program similar to the one used for the Citizen’s Police Academy. In addition, the program would initially be restricted to second semester seniors who are, for the most part,

18-years-old and older.

Classes would focus on police ethics, motor vehicle and criminal code studies, U.S and N.H. Supreme Court Decisions, community policing, DWI enforcement, policing the mentally ill, domestic violence and legal studies.

Students would be able to participate at some level in crime scene investigations, witness taking procedures, processing crime scenes, firearms safety and handling, live court testimony with mock trials, and defensive tactics.

Davis said so far he has 18 students who have expressed an interest should the DOE authorize the curriculum. He also said many of the students he has spoken with come from sending districts that would not cost the city taxpayers any additional money.

He said he expects the DOE to make a decision within three weeks and hopes, with approval, the first class would begin in February.

OBAMA from page 2 his own small-scale executive actions. He offered a sweeping indictment of economic inequality and unleashed his own brand of prairie populism.

He spoke for nearly an hour to a supportive audience, reselling his ideas under the framework of “building a nation where we’re all better off.”

Billed as an important address that would put today’s economic debates in context, Obama’s speech seemed a bit like two packaged into one.

The first was that of the campaigner, full of loft and reclamation of American values. The second was the governing Obama, who recited his familiar jobs agenda, his feud with Congress over extending a Social Security tax cut, even his fight to get his consumer watchdog confirmed.

Obama tied himself to Roosevelt, the president and reformer who came to this town in eastern Kansas and called for a “square deal” for regular Americans. Roosevelt said then the fight for progress was a conflict “between the men who possess more than they have earned and the men who have earned more than they possess.”

It is a theme Obama is embracing in a mounting fight for re-election against Republicans who, regardless of the nominee, will attack his stewardship of the economy.

One of the leading contenders for the GOP nomination, Mitt Romney, ridiculed Obama for comparing himself to Roosevelt. Obama “said that he is like Teddy Roosevelt,” Romney said at a campaign event in Paradise Valley, Ariz. “And I thought, ‘In what way is he like Teddy Roosevelt?’ Teddy Roosevelt of course founded the Bull Moose Party. One of those words applies.”

Kirsten Kukowski, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, said, “Maybe instead of trying to be like other presidents, Obama should try being president.”

Obama took aim at the Republicans, saying they would only return the same structures that led to America’s economic downturn. “Their philosophy is simple: We are better off when everyone is left to fend for themselves and play by their own rules,” Obama said. “I’m here to say they are wrong.”

The president conceded that the country is in the midst of a consuming re-examination on his watch, prompting national movements against both government spending and an economy that many feel disproportionately favors the elite. from preceding page continues on with more examples of the uselessness of the current Congress, and the many that preceded it. It ends with the observation that many people are feeling angry and helpless and ready to force change.

The final question is, “change to what?”. Perhaps the power of this newspaper could start something positive by considering the following information.

This brings to mind some words of wisdom from Warren Buffett during a July 7, 2011 interview with, Becky Quick, on CNBC. He stated that he “could end the deficit in five minutes”. “You could just pass a law that anytime the deficit is more than 3-percent, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election”. Big talk and since the Congress would have to pass this law, the proverbial Snowball in Hell has a better chance of surviving.

There are some additional suggestions on the Internet for a 28th amendment to the Constitution that sound pretty good. The e-mail attributes them to Buffett, but Snopes says the origin is unknown. By now, you should know that Snopes is just a husband and wife team working out of their home, so are not actually the experts on everything that some think they are, so who knows? In a nutshell, the seven items require the members of Congress to act pretty much like the rest of us. Working for salary, no tenure, no pension. Contribute to Social Security, fund their own retirement plan, can’t vote themselves a raise, be on the same health plans as the rest of us, void all existing golden plans that they have voted for themselves, etc. You get the idea and such an amendment is not impossible. The people just have to demand it and I think that time has come.

Serving in Congress should be an honor, not a career.

New Christmas tree farm owners will continue to grow exotic varieties

BY ROGER AMSDEN FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

SANBORNTON — The new owners of Willow Pond Farm will continue its tradition of growing exotic Christmas tree species, much to the delight of the its loyal customers, who over the last 20 years have been able to choose from more than 20 varieties of trees from all over the world.

“We’re going to have the same range of trees and continue it the same way Bob did’’ says Nick Fox, who along with his wife, Denise, and two children moved into the late 18th century house at the farm on Upper Bay Road in June.

The Bob he refers to is Bob Girardin, a retired Gilford High School math teacher who has gained an international reputation as a pioneer in growing exotic Christmas trees, many with European and Oriental origins, over the last 20 years.

Drivers survive head-on collision in Gilford Two women appeared to have escaped without severe injuries after a head-on collision just east of the intersection of Cherry Valley Road (Rte. 11-A) and Intervale Road in Gilford around noon yesterday. Police have yet to identify the drivers of the two vehicles — a red Toyota Prius and silver Hyundai Elantra — both of whom were able to get out of their cars by the time emergency personnel reached the scene.

The accident is under investigation by the Gilford Police and Belknap County Accident Reconstruction Team. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/ Michael Kitch).

Fox says that he has no intention of changing what Girardin has done over the years, saying that it would be unthinkable to change the 23 acres into something else and uproot the treed. “This is entirely organic and the way it should be,” he says.

Girardin, who along with his wife, Joan, now live on their son’s property right next door, continue to be active at the farm and will be out greeting their old customers this year.

“We couldn’t have found anyone better than Nick and his family to sell the property to. I told the realtor that I’d give a year of my time to someone who was willing to learn about the farm.

ESCAPE from page 3 Behind the house, police also found discarded clothing and a receipt showing where Hobson bought a change of clothes and supplies.

Hobson stole a car in Wakefield, N.H., after escaping from jail, police said. The vehicle was found abandoned on a logging road in Alfred, and blood inside added to investigators’ suspicion that Hobson was seriously injured.

“You can clearly consider him desperate by virtue of his own actions — a very concerted effort he undertook to escape from the Carroll County House of Corrections, injuring himself in the process — coupled with his own statements he has intentions

to harm others,” March said.

Law enforcement officials wouldn’t say how they learned of Hobson’s threats except to say their concerns were based on statements he had made.

Hobson’s police record dates back to a criminal mischief conviction in 1996. He was sentenced to two days in jail.

Hobson’s brother-in-law, Richard Lane, said Tuesday that no one in the family wanted to speak to reporters.

While Hobson was loose, aircraft buzzed over the greater Sanford area, and dozens of heavily armed state troopers, deputy U.S. marshals and members of a violent-fugitive task force searched on the ground.

PENN STATE from page 2 York Times, he has said he showered and horsed around with boys but never sexually abused them.

The existence of Schmidt’s client was first reported

by WHP-TV in Harrisburg.

Schmidt told the AP that his client was 12 years old, dealing with the death of his mother and suffering emotional issues at the time of the campus incident. The lawyer said the two met through The Second Mile and his client claims Sandusky gave

him liquor while in the office on campus. The grand jury report did not allege any instances of Sandusky giving boys alcohol.

Schmidt said his law firm is conducting its own investigation into the client’s claims.

“We hope to have it wrapped up within another week. We believe him to be credible,” Schmidt said.

“Everything that we’ve been able to unearth since has corroborated what he told us, but we’ll continue to do our due diligence.”

The preliminary hearing, at which a judge would determine if prosecutors have enough evidence to take the case to trial, could last a day or more since the defense has the right to cross-examine the state’s witnesses.

The state attorney general’s office would not comment on the evidence authorities plan to offer to show probable cause the crimes occurred.

Amendola said Tuesday that a police officer witness should not be able to testify in the place of the accusers, based on evidentiary rules that pertain to hearsay.

SANTA from page one This is the second Grinch attack in the city since this Christmas season began. On Thanksgiving Day, someone stole about 20 Christmas trees from a lot on Court Street.

Police said the ornament is of great sentimental value to the family and ask that if you have any information contact city police at 524-5257 or the greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

— Gail Ober

HUFF from page one Again, within minutes he was sober and police released him at 8:30 p.m. on $1,000 personal recognizance bail. He was given a court date.

Around 10 p.m. Laconia Police got a report of a man, later identified as Lemire, who was sitting in Dunkin’ Donuts on South Main Street inhaling fumes from a aerosol can.

Police took Lemire into custody, charged him with violating the terms of his earlier release which included “no huffing.”

He refused bail and was held over the weekend in Belknap County Jail.

Lemire appeared Monday before 4th Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll who ordered him held on $5,000 cash-only bail. Carroll said the cash-only provision could be waived if Lemire is accepted into a residential treatment program.

Should Lemire post bail, he was ordered to report to city police daily and refrain from all use of alcohol or non-prescribed drugs.

Holiday Guide The Lakes Region

Christmas 2011 -- Birth of a New Tradition As the holidays approach, the giant Asian factories are kicking into high gear to provide Americans with monstrous piles of cheaply produced goods -- merchandise that has been produced at the expense of American labor.

This year will be different. This year Americans will give the gift of genuine concern for other Americans. There is no longer an excuse that, at gift giving time, nothing can be found that is produced by American hands. Yes there is!

It’s time to think outside the box, people.

Who says a gift needs to fit in a shirt box, wrapped in Chinese produced wrapping paper?

Everyone -- yes EVERYONE gets their hair cut. How about gift certificates from your local American hair salon or barber?

Gym membership? It’s appropriate for all ages who are thinking about some health improvement.

Who wouldn’t appreciate getting their car detailed? Small, American owned detail shops and car washes would love to sell you a gift certificate or a book of gift certificates.

Are you one of those extravagant givers who think nothing of plonking down the Benjamines on a Chinese made flat-screen? Perhaps that grateful gift receiver would like his driveway sealed, or lawn mowed for the summer, or Lose up to 30 pounds in 30 days

driveway plowed all winter, or games at the local golf course.

There are a bazillion owner-run restaurants -- all offering gift certificates. And, if your intended isn’t the fancy eatery sort, what about a half dozen breakfasts at the local breakfast joint.

Remember, folks this isn’t about big National chains -- this is about supporting your home town Americans with their financial lives on the line to keep their doors open.

How many people couldn’t use an oil change for their car, truck or motorcycle, done at a shop run by the American working guy?

Thinking about a heartfelt gift for mom?

Mom would LOVE the services of a local cleaning lady for a day.

My computer could use a tune-up, and I KNOW I can find some young guy who is struggling to get his repair business up and running.

OK, you were looking for something more personal. Local crafts people spin their own wool and knit them into scarves. They make jewelry, and pottery and beautiful wooden boxes.

Plan your holiday outings at local, owner operated restaurants and leave your server a nice tip. And, how about going out to see a play or ballet at your hometown theatre.

Musicians need love too, so find a venue

Honestly, people, do you REALLY need to buy another ten thousand Chinese lights for the house? When you buy a five dollar string of light, about fifty cents stays in the community. If you have those kinds of bucks to burn, leave the mailman, trash guy or babysitter a nice BIG tip.

You see, Christmas is no longer about draining American pockets so that China can build another glittering city. Christmas is now about caring about US, encouraging American small businesses to keep plugging away to follow their dreams. And, when we care about other Americans, we care about our communities, and the benefits come back to us in ways we couldn’t imagine. THIS is the new American Christmas tradition.

This is a revolution of caring about each other, and isn’t that what Christmas is about?

Volunteers help lay WOW Trail bricks

At the Elm Street entrance to the WOW Trail, a Belknap Landscape Company (BLC) jobsite, volunteers assist BLC crews with landscape enhancements. Here employees from both the Tilton and Gilford Lowes Home Improvement Centers set bricks into a patio area, donating labor on their own time. From left to right are: Matt Laduke, Laurie Hutchinson, Melanie Thibault, Bronwyn Jenna, and Mike Giovanditto, along with BLC stonemason Geoff Nixon. Not shown are Brenda Ganong, Diana Ford and Dave Libby. Many of the bricks are engraved, part of an ongoing fundraising effort. Further, the two stores combined their resources to purchase and donate over $2,000 in lumber and materials for a footbridge linking the parking lot to the new granite stairway. (Courtesy photo)

Lakes Region economic development strategy will be discussed December 15 LACONIA — The Lakes Region Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy Committee will be meeting on Thursday, December 15 at 4 p.m. in the downstairs conference room of the Belknap County Economic Development Council (BCEDC), located at One Mill Plaza.

The Strategy Committee is responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of the Lakes Region Plan for Sustainable Development, the first CEDS for the Lakes Region.

The agenda for this meeting will include a review of past projects in the

CEDS, updates of committee activities, the composition of the CEDS committee, as well as the possibility of creating an economic development district for the Lakes Region.

Funding for the CEDS has been provided, in part, from the US Economic Development Administration, the NH Office of Energy and Planning, NH Electric Co-op, and the Lakes Region Planning Commission. For additional information, contact the Lakes Region Planning Commission at 279-8171.

All CEDS meetings are open to the public.

Cookbook fundraiser aids hospital scholarship fund, patient services PLYMOUTH — Just in time for gift giving season, Speare Memorial Hospital has released its 2011 Community Cookbook, “New Classics, Old Favorites”, with recipes from medical staff, employees and volunteers at Speare. Cookbooks are $7 each and proceeds go the the SMH Scholarship Fund supporting students pursuing health careers, as well as enhancing patient services.

“The seeds of an idea for doing a cookbook were planted last spring as the annual volunteer recognition luncheon was being planned,” explains Speare’s Student and Volunteer Services Coordinator Jennifer Oldenburg. “Our theme for our celebration was volunteers are a key ingredient in the hospital’s suc-

cess. Just as a recipe won’t come out successfully if just one ingredient is missing, the Speare patient care experience depends on everyone at the hospital to meet our patients’ needs. Our 2011 cookbook is symbolic of everyone coming together, united in a common goal. Not to mention the book is full of really good recipes.”

Cookbooks can be purchased Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the front desk in the Hospital’s main lobby. Volunteer Services will also accept phone orders using a valid credit card. To order by phone contact Jen Oldenburg directly at 238-6460. For other questions or inquiries email info@spearehospital. com

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone will check in with you on a subject of great import. Don’t worry. You won’t be expected to come up with all the answers. For now, it’s enough that you are open to hearing what the questions are.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

You feel confident that you don’t have to control a relationship in order for it to move in a direction that will please you. You’ve chosen the right partners and allies so your common interests will drive the action.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

You have something important to impart. You feel that if you touch even one person with your message, it will have been worthwhile. The reality is that you’ll touch many.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are someone on whom nothing is lost.

You don’t always act on what you see.

In fact, you usually don’t feel the need.

You’ll log today’s observations and wait for the right moment to act on them.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Unexpected encounters will get you all charged up. You may run into the one who makes your heart skip a beat or the one who secretly adores you from afar.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 7).

You’ll accomplish a physical goal and take actions toward optimum health over the next 10 weeks. In May, you’ll act on something you read or hear and will be wildly successful. Look for opportunities to expand your business, enterprises and/or education in June.

The summer will make family memories. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 3, 11, 40 and 19.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Maybe you used to give your love so that you could receive love back, but now you give love just because it comes so naturally for you. It’s the easiest thing for you to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll experience a heightened, joyful feeling, and the best part is that it will be effortless to maintain. It will come over you like the sun and warm you through and through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do people choose one another, or are they meant for one another? You’re not sure if you believe in romantic destiny, but in certain moments today, it will seem plausible.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll be ultra-observant today, and exactitude will be your forte. Peruse important documents, financial statements and contracts for errors. You could catch a mistake in time to save the day.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Wherever possible, you’ll use the resources that you encounter to create opportunities.

But you won’t push. Things have to happen naturally for you to be excited about them.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll tap into an extra jolt of power and will apply it to improving your physical performance, work and/or male relationships. A father figure may have a stronger influence than usual.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll be motivated by a timeline. Make sure you also know what the rewards are for sticking to each deadline. You’re internally driven, but it also helps to have obvious external accountability and rewards.

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Dec. 7, the 341st day of 2011. There are 24 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Dec. 7, 1941, the Imperial Japanese navy launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Navy base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii as part of a plan to preempt any American military response to Japan’s planned conquest of Southeast Asian territories; the raid, which claimed some 2,400 American lives, prompted the United States to declare war against Japan the next day.

On this date: In 1787, Delaware became the first state to ratify the U.S. Constitution.

In 1796, electors chose John Adams to be the second president of the United States.

In 1808, electors chose James Madison to be the fourth president of the United States.

In 1836, Martin Van Buren was elected the eighth president of the United States.

In 1909, chemist Leo H. Baekeland received a U.S. patent for Bakelite (BAY’kuh-lyt), the first synthetic plastic.

In 1911, China abolished the requirement that men wear their hair in a queue, or ponytail.

In 1946, fire broke out at the Winecoff (WYN’-kahf) Hotel in Atlanta; the blaze killed 119 people, including hotel founder W. Frank Winecoff.

In 1972, America’s last moon mission to date was launched as Apollo 17 blasted off from Cape Canaveral.

In 1987, 43 people were killed after a gunman aboard a Pacific Southwest Airlines jetliner in California apparently opened fire on a fellow passenger, the pilots and himself, causing the plane to crash.

In 1993, gunman Colin Ferguson opened fire on a Long Island Rail Road commuter train, killing six people and wounding 19.

(Ferguson was later sentenced to a minimum of 200 years in prison.)

One year ago: Elizabeth Edwards, the estranged wife of former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, died at her home in Chapel Hill, N.C., at 61 after fighting breast cancer.

Today’s Birthdays: Actor Eli Wallach is 96. Bluegrass singer Bobby Osborne is 80.

Actress Ellen Burstyn is 79. Broadcast journalist Carole Simpson is 71. Baseball Hall of Famer Johnny Bench is 64. Actor-director-producer James Keach is 64. Country singer Gary Morris is 63. Singer-songwriter Tom Waits is 62. Basketball Hall of Famer Larry Bird is 55. Actress Priscilla Barnes is 54. Former “Tonight Show” announcer Edd Hall is 53. Rock musician Tim Butler is 53.

Actor Jeffrey Wright is 46. Actor C. Thomas Howell is 45. Producer-director Jason Winer is 39. NFL player Terrell Owens is 38. Pop singer Nicole Appleton is 36. Country singer Sunny Sweeney is 35.

PLYMOUTH — The Greater Plymouth and Greater-Franklin Bristol Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) hosted an appreciation dinner on November 30 at the Whole Village Resource Center in Plymouth to honor the hard work and dedication of their volunteers in lending support to the School Based Clinic Initiative.

Unit Directors James Richardson and Donna Quinn were joined by state and regional officials to express their thanks: Marcella Bobinsky, Section Chief NH Immunization Bureau; Curtis Metzger, NH State MRC Coordinator; Jennifer Frenette, New England Region 1 MRC Coordinator; Richard Silverberg, Managing Director of CCNTR; and Sharon Beaty, CEO Mid-State Health Center.

School based clinics were developed to increase vaccination rates among school-age children for seasonal flu vaccine. This initiative offers students an opportunity to receive a free flu vaccine during the school day, therefore parents are not missing work to take their children to the physician’s office for this service. Says Richardson, “This was the first time the regional MRC units were asked to participate in the school based clinic initiative. Doing so enabled our volunteers to work closely with the schools and our local visiting nurses association, and increase their visibility within the community.

The MRC volunteers were a key component in

allowing for over 800 students to receive a free flu vaccine. Collectively the two units provided in excess of 175 volunteers hours to support this effort. According to the web-site www.volunteeringinamerica.gov the hours volunteered are equivalent to $3750.25.

Medical Reserve Corp units, which is a federal program under the Office of the Surgeon General, are community-based, and function as a way to locally organize and utilize volunteers’ time and expertise to prepare for and respond to emergencies, as well as promote healthy living throughout the year. MRC volunteers supplement existing emergency and public health resources. MRC volunteers include medical and public health professionals such as physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, veterinarians, and epidemiologists. Many community members—interpreters, chaplains, office workers, legal advisors, and others—also fill key support positions.

As Quinn notes, these units were initiated to support and partner with the regional Public Health Networks that exist throughout the state to asses, develop and respond to public health needs and coordinate emergency preparedness at the local level . As the Greater Plymouth and Greater Franklin-Bristol Public Health Networks are the least populated, the unit directors signed a memorandum of agreement to share resources.

As a result the units have collaborated on many emergency and non-emergency requests for service.

For more information about the Greater Plymouth and Greater Franklin-Bristol Medical Reserve Corps, or how to volunteer, contact Donna Quinn at 536-4000 X 1390 or visit online at www.gfbcertmrc.com.

Fritz Wetherbee at Innisfree Bookshop Sat.

Griffin - Meredith, NH

MEREDITH — Fritz Wetherbee will be at Innisfree Bookshop from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, December 11 to tell stories, answer questions, sign books, and talk about his life growing up in New Hampshire.

His seventh book, New Hampshire Rocks, a collection of stories he has written for WMUR-TV’s New Hampshire Chronicle, has just been released.

“With this latest book I will have published 850 stories about New Hampshire,” says Wetherbee. “Two more books and I’ll have over a thousand stories.”

Wetherbee calls himself a “proud provincial”, who has spent almost all his life in the Granite State, Born in 1936, he grew up in Milford the oldest of five children.

Over the years he has worked at everything from tree climbing to being the creative director in an ad agency.

For ten years he was the host of New Hampshire Crossroads on New Hampshire Public Television. For the past eight years he has written and presented a different nightly story on New Hampshire Chronicle.

He lives with his “better half”’, Laura, in a 216-yearold home in Acworth. On his library shelves are dozens of state books plus five Emmys and a bobble-head doll which he was honored with for throwing out the first pitch at a Fisher Cats Game a couple years back.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, December 7, 2011— Page 25

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am 57 years old and divorced. I am now engaged to a woman who is 29 years my junior. “Carla” is everything I ever wanted. I never intended to fall in love with her, but I needed a friend, and there she was. She feels the same way.

Here is the problem: Even though we are engaged, Carla’s parents do not know I exist. For the past four years, she’s been trying to figure out a way to tell them about us. Her father is a minister. Both parents are of the opinion that an older man and a younger woman do not make a biblically proper couple. I have read my Bible from front to back, and nowhere does it say this.

Carla says we should elope and then she will find the right time and the right words to tell her parents. But for four years, I’ve been hearing that we will “elope this year,” and it has yet to happen. What do I do when I love a woman so much, but she doesn’t have the inner strength to disappoint her parents? -- Hurting Deeply Dear Hurting: Carla is too young for you -- not because of the age difference, but because she is immature. As daunting as it is to confront disapproving parents, someone who is truly committed to the relationship would have been willing to stand up for her choice of mate after four years and an engagement. Sorry to say, we do not have a great deal of confidence in your future together.

Dear Annie: I could have written that letter from “Sick of It,” who doesn’t want her husband to approach her for sex.

Combine post-menopausal me with my husband’s health problems and medications, and you could have a dreary sex life, except for one thing: I love my husband so much that even though sex is not as magical as it used to be, I cherish every moment of closeness we have together.

Even though I don’t always feel like it, I jump at the

chance to be intimate. Love is about the other person, not yourself. Sex should not be an obligation, but a fulfillment of the promise made by a husband and a wife. -- Bring It On Dear Bring: We wish more women would emulate your attitude, although we know it can be difficult. And too many women wrote to insist that having sex when you aren’t in the mood is akin to rape. It is NOT. Read on for more: From California: I was outraged by your answer to “Sick of It.” I have a husband 12 years my senior with heart and impotency problems. That did not stop him from wanting to play with all the bells and whistles, push all the buttons and then say, “Oops, that’s all.” Meanwhile, I was hot and bothered with no relief. Finally, I made him understand that all that groping was not welcome. True intimacy at our age comes from love and tenderness. Now we cuddle. He is sad that sex has disappeared, but love is full of compromises.

Florida: A lot of women think the lack of sex in their marriage is perfectly fine. They decide they don’t need it anymore, so their husbands don’t need it, either. I wonder how many of those women would like to have their husbands visiting prostitutes, watching porn or having affairs. Intimacy is part of marriage, and if they aren’t willing to participate, they shouldn’t get upset when the husband finds someone else.

Kentucky: I don’t get why a man insists on continuing to attempt something his body is clearly no longer up to. He gets embarrassed and frustrated. I get groped and bored. I want him to stop pestering me.

Tennessee: Historically, women were not destined to live into old age. We would have died in childbirth at some point, and our husbands would have found younger wives.

‘See for Yourself’ Toyota Camry and Prius event set for December 12

LACONIA — With its sophisticated new design, the reinvented 2012 Toyota Camry is heading north from the Kentucky factory to one of New Hampshire’s largest Toyota dealers, Irwin Toyota. In celebration, Irwin Automotive Group is hosting a “See For Yourself Event” for Toyota fans on Monday, December 12 from 5-6 p.m. at the 59 Bisson Avenue Toyota dealership.

“Since 1997, the Camry has been the best selling car in America every year but one (2001). The unveiling of the 2012 Camry is exciting news for Irwin Toyota”, commented Chris Irwin, vice president of Irwin Automotive Group.

“This will be the first chance fans will have to sit behind the wheel and check out the acclaimed upscale interior and state-of-the-art electronics and

new connectivity features. The Camry is also receiving high marks for its smoother and quieter ride, increased safety features and savings at the pumps, with 25 city and 35 highway miles per gallon ratings.”

Irwin Toyota will also be unveiling the new 44 mpg Toyota Prius v, the “v” standing for versatility. Prius fans can check out the expanded interior and reclining fold down rear seats of the 2012 design that delivers 50% more space than the original Prius.

Everyone is invited to Irwin’s “See For Yourself 2012 Event” on December 12, try their luck at winning a door prize and enjoy refreshments compliments of Irwin Automotive Group. Directions to Irwin Toyota can be found online at www.irwinzone. com or call (800) 639-6700.

Online searches help Lakes Region Gymnastics Booster club raise funds LACONIA — The Lakes Region Gymnastics Academy Boosters Club has teamed up with GoodSearch.com and GoodShop.com to raise funds through the Internet and shopping online to help children enrolled in the program to become gymnasts.

With GoodShop.com, consumers are helping their favorite causes by shopping at more than 1,600 well known retailers including Amazon, Target, Apple, Macy’s, Best Buy, Orbitz, Staples and others. The shopping experience and the prices are exactly the same as going to the retailer directly, but by going through GoodShop, up

to 30 percent of the purchase price is donated the user’s favorite cause.

In addition, for every search conducted on the Yahoo and Bing-powered GoodSearch.com search engine, approximately one penny is donated to the user’s favorite charity. Use it exactly like any other search engine, but with GoodSearch, the pennies add up quickly.

Lakes Region Gymnastics Academy Boosters Club plans on using the money raised from these programs to help pay for gymnastics meets, uniforms and other expenses.
