Dem. Hosmer raising far more money than either Republican in Senate 7 race

LACONIA — According to financial reports filed by the Republican candidates for the New Hampshire Senate in District 7 with the New Hampshire Secretary of State this week, Bill Grimm of Franklin has raised three times as much as Joshua Youseff of Laconia, his opponent in the primary election on September 11, though both sums were modest when see SENaTE 7 page 12 The Roy family, joined here by former Laconia High School football coach Jim Fitzgerald, have long been champions of athletics in Laconia and are excited about the campaign to bring a new athletic facility to the school.

Roy family, pretty much synonymous with Laconia football, gets behind new athletic complex project at the high school

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — In the 1976, when Bob Roy was looking for a new place to call home, he stumbled upon Laconia while driving through the region. First attracted by the area’s natural beauty, the father of three boys made up his mind when he learned about the strength of the school system and its robust support of athletics.

With the addition of the family to the

school community, former Laconia High School football coach Jim Fitzgerald attested, came three “outstanding” athletes. But that was only the beginning.

Starting with Bob, and continued by sons Mark, Rod and James, the Roys established and continued a family tradition of supporting and serving their community, especially its athletic programs, through coaching, fundraising and volunteering for various boards and commissions. So,

when the district announced its $1-million fundraising campaign, which will result in the creation of a state-of-the-art athletic facility to be enjoyed by nearly all LHS athletes, not just football players, the Roy family was all ears.

The proposed athletic facility upgrade is planned to coincide with an already-begun reconstruction of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center and a renovation see rOyS page 11

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A New Hampshire man has been arrested on federal child pornography charges, one of 72 people charged in connection with an international network involved in the distribution of graphic images and video of children.

Authorities said 38-year-old William Davis of Bristol was arrested Thursday on a warrant issued by the U.S. Attorney’s office in Louisiana on charges of conspiracy to distribute child pornography and conspiracy to advertise the distribution of it.

Prosecutors say Davis participated in a network called Dreamboard. People have been charged with participating in an international, members-only Internet club created to trade tens of thousands of images and videos of sexually abused children.

Authorities say Davis is one of 56 people arrested in the United States in connection with the distribution ring.

Theater shooting suspect had been banned from college CENTENNIAL, Colorado (AP) — The former graduate student accused in a deadly mass shooting at a movie theater had failed a key exam six weeks before the rampage, made threats and was banned from his college, prosecutors said Thursday.

University of Colorado Denver spokeswoman Jacque Montgomery later disputed that James Holmes was banned from campus but confirmed that a criminal background check was done on him

before the July 20 attack.

She said a court gag order prevented her from discussing who requested the check, who performed it, and who saw the results.

Montgomery’s statement was believed to be the first explicit public confirmation that a check had been done on Holmes’ background before the shootings.

Montgomery did say that campus Police Chief Doug Abraham was referring to that background check when he said at a July

23 news conference that Holmes had only a minor infraction on his record.

She said Holmes’ access to restricted areas on campus was canceled because he left his program in June, not because of threats.

Prosecutors made their new claims Thursday against Holmes in their effort to persuade a judge to allow them access to 100 pages of education records subpoenaed from the university, where Holmes had see COLORADO page 15

DENVER (AP) — Claiming health care bragging rights, Mitt Romney said Thursday his plan to provide health insurance to everyone in Massachusetts was superior to the one it inspired, President Barack Obama’s much-debated national law.

“My health care plan I put in place in my state has everyone insured, but we didn’t go out and raise taxes on people and have a unelected board tell people what kind of health care they can have,” Romney said in an interview with CBS’ Denver affiliate, KCNC.

The law signed by Romney in 2006 sought to expand health care but did not guarantee coverage for all. Romney and Massachusetts lawmakers decided that rather than reinvent the entire health care system, they would instead close a series of holes, allowing the vast majority of residents to keep their existing plans.

Obama’s law basically followed the same outline — a private insurance system with an expanded government safety net. But there are some important differences.

The federal law is national, and most of its important provisions are binding even in states that oppose it. Romney’s law was a state effort that enjoyed support from both political parties, and the Republican candidate argues that health care reform should remain a state prerogative.

Obama’s law cut Medicare payments to hospitals, insurers and other service providers. As a state law, Romney’s plan had no effect on Medicare. see ROMNEY page 17

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Navy SEAL who wrote an account of the raid that killed Osama bin Laden under a pseudonym was identified Thursday as Matt Bissonnette, who retired from the Navy last summer.

Bissonnette was first identified by Fox News. One current and one former U.S.

military official confirmed the name, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss military personnel matters.

The book, “No Easy Day,” is scheduled to be released Sept. 11, with the author listed under the pseudonym of Mark Owen.

Penguin Group (USA)’s Dutton imprint, the publisher, asked news organizations Thursday to withhold his identity.

“Sharing the true story of his personal experience in ‘No Easy Day’ is a courageous act in the face of obvious risks to see SEAL page 12

Much of Kevin Smith’s campaign funds coming from dozens of LLCs with same Massachusetts address

CONCORD (AP) — Dozens of small businesses at the same addresses account for almost half of the money raised by Republican Kevin Smith for his campaign for New Hampshire governor.

Campaign finance reports submitted by Smith show he raised more than $93,000 from limited liability companies, commonly referred to as LLCs, with similar names from one Westborough, Mass., address. LLCs in other locations, many sharing an address, account for more than $50,000 in additional contributions to Smith’s campaign.

“There are various companies that choose to contribute to the campaign. We’re happy to get that support,” Smith spokesman Jamie Burnett said Thursday.

He said he did not know if the LLCs had one or more owners, but he pointed out the practice of accepting contributions from LLCs with similar names sharing addresses is legal under New Hampshire law.

Former GOP Gov. Craig Benson was among Smith’s contributors, as were three businesses at the same address. Smith was on Benson’s staff.

On Wednesday, Smith reported raising $324,000 toward his campaign.

Smith’s primary rival, Ovide Lamontagne, also reported contributions from LLCs, but most were from individual companies. Lamontagne did receive $43,000 of the $1.2 million he reported raising from seven LLCs owned by real estate company Brady Sullivan, all listed at the same Manchester address.

“We are pleased that Ovide has received support from over 2,000 unique donors, with 88 percent of our funds raised coming from voters here in the Granite State,” spokesman Tom Cronin said. He said grassroots support among individual donors will be critical to Lamontagne’s success. see SMITH page 16

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 24, 2012— Page 3

Some Sanbornton residents skeptical town should take the lead in trying to reduce phosphorous in lake SANBORNTON — About 10 people attended the first of two informational hearings about a draft report regarding the Black Brook Watershed last Friday and some of them were leery of the town moving forward with any project that only addresses a fraction of the water that flows into Lake Winnisquam.

The draft report prepared the state Department of Environmental Services and presented by Black Brook Watershed Coordinator Don Foudriat recommends tweaking 30 small areas of the 30,000 acre watershed area to lower the phosphorous going into the lake via Black Brook by five percent.

Lowering phosphorous would help reduce the milfoil in the lake. Lowering storm runoff would help reduce the amount of silt in Black Brook, hopefully to levels that would encourage the smelts to return.

“If we’re participating in ours and no one else does, how do we benefit,” asked Ann Glines who said she is a real estate appraiser and understands how poor water quality can effect property values.

“Is it so wrong to start in Sanbonton?” Foudriat asked, telling the audience that he knows “at some point we’ll have to address the whole thing.”

According to the study, the Black Brook Watershed is responsible for 10-percent of the water that flows into Lake Winnisquam. Foudriat said that 70-percent of the water that flows into the lake comes from the Winnisquam River in Laconia, whose main source is Lake Winnipesaukee.

Laconia, Meredith, Belmont and Tilton are the other communities that have watersheds directly on Lake Winnisquam.

A watershed is defined as a large area that, due to topography or the shape of the land, acts like a funnel and directs all water to a single outlet. The draft engineering report is very technical and laden with information about chemistry and engineering.

The draft study recommends one major adjustment to the Black Brook watershed — the addi-

tion of a box culvert on Black Brook Road and it is already being done with money made available through the federal stimulus program.

Foudriat estimates the balance of the work will cost between $600,000 to $650,000 and he has asked the town to set up some process by which he and others working on the funding can apply for federal grants.

Some of the other suggestions made during last Fridays’ presentation include tasking the planning and zoning department to come up with suggestions as to how people can better manage their own properties to prevent storm water runoff from rooftops and driveways from entering Black Brook.

Town Planner Bob Ward said the draft report has been submitted to the Planning Board but it has not been reviewed by them although he expects it will be on the agenda for the next meeting.

Ward said any new regulations would effect future development in the 30,000-acre watershed that is now mostly forested land.

“It’s a $900,000 price tag,” said Curt McGee. “Are you going to ask Meredith for a quarter of it.”

“Everything we have planned is for Sanbornton,” Ward responded.

Foudriat expanded on Ward’s answer by saying that part of the outreach program to which the town agreed is to go to the other communities and present the findings of the final report.

Sharon Dugan said she is concerned with more regulations. “Onerous regulation can be an undue burden,” she said. “I’m not comfortable with talk of regulations on landowners.”

Ward said he foresees no change in the town’s zoning ordinances but rather in site-plan development that would only effect be new development proposed in the watershed.

The second of the two sessions is tonight at the Old Town Hall beginning at 7 p.m.

For pro-lifers who truly walk the walk, circumstances behind a pregnancy shouldn’t matter The political convulsion over Missouri Republican Todd Akin’s bizarre talk of “legitimate rape” highlights an issue that the GOP had buried in its campaign.

While the U.S. senatorial candidate’s grasp of reproductive science is shockingly lacking — he said real rape victims rarely get pregnant — his position that abortions be banned with no exception for rape happens to be in the new Republican Party platform. It is a stance that most Americans, including most registered Republicans, disagree with and probably didn’t know was an official party position.

Now they do.

Meanwhile, Republican leaders can’t avoid the truth that Akin’s call to do away with the rape exception is a principled “pro-life” position. If you believe that the cell cluster created when a sperm fertilizes an egg is a full a human being, then it shouldn’t matter whether it was made through marital love or a violent crime. So holding that rape victims shouldn’t be forced to have the child of their tormenters is a cop-out. When Missouri Right to Life says it supports Akin’s “defense of the life of an innocent unborn child conceived by rape,” it is being consistent.

I believe that abortions should be easy to obtain early in a pregnancy and progressively harder to get as time goes on. The issue isn’t when life begins, but when “personhood” begins. Sperm, unfertilized eggs and fingernails are all life and human. The point of development at which the fertilized egg should be considered a full-fledged person is determined by theology or philosophy, not science. But those who say a day-old embryo is as much a person as a 3-year-old must explain why we freeze embryos and not toddlers. They should explain why fertility clinics are allowed to throw out many thousands of unused embryos every year.

On the matter of pregnancies caused by rape, even staunch foes of abortion may leave a bit of weasel room. Like Akin, Republicans in

the Indiana House opposed an exception for rape on the basis that women wanting an abortion would lie about having been forced. Indiana State Rep. Eric Turner called it a “giant loophole.” If Turner was implying that abortions would be permissible if a rape could be fully proved, he too was not being coherent. For those who truly walk the walk, the circumstances behind the conception should not matter.

We who support a basic right to abortion don’t have to engage in complex arguments over how a woman got pregnant. We don’t have to distinguish between forcible rape, date rape or false claims of rape. We don’t have to get into whether the man drugged the woman before sex — or she drugged herself — or whether a woman wrongly assumed she was at the point in her menstrual cycle when she couldn’t get pregnant. We don’t have to consider that a couple in a fit of passion got careless. Not having to know these things is ironically something we have in common with uncompromising opponents of abortion.

In an ideal world, anyone who isn’t ready for parenthood would take the necessary precautions. That’s not the world we live in. I don’t think 15-year-olds should have to become single mothers in the ninth grade.

In recent years, Republicans have moved their “pro-life” disapprovals perilously close to birth control. I buy Akin’s explanation that he misspoke when he put the word “legitimate” in front of “rape.” But that kind of slip reminds one of the party’s obsession with women’s sexuality in general.

Republican leaders intent on making the election about the economy don’t want to get into this discussion, but here it is.

(A member of the Providence Journal editorial board, Froma Harrop writes a nationally syndicated column from that city. She has written for such diverse publications as The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar and Institutional Investor.)

LETTERS Obama running campaign same way he runs country, in the red To the editor, Jon Hoyt of Bridgewater makes some attacks on Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan in a recent letter. In the first paragraph he states “the Democrats are not nice people, just ask bin Laden”, which I assume is supposed to be his attempt at being a comedian. It didn’t work Jon. You are using satire to try and make it appear that the Republicans are outright mean and the Democrats do nothing wrong. I suppose you think Harry Reid spouting lies from the Senate floor was being nice?

In my opinion Harry Reid committed a felony in the fact that it is a crime for a legislator to make accusations from the congressional podium without having evidence in hand.

If he had Romney’s tax returns to prove his claim he committed another felony since it is also a crime to have the tax returns of another person unless received them from that person or a properly issued warrant, which he had neither.

You tell a blatant lie when you say “of course they have tried to keep the unemployment levels high by filibustering all those job bills.” A child can see through this lie with just a few minutes of research. The Republican-led House of Representatives have passed over 30 jobs bills and budgets that are dying on Harry Reid’s desk since he won’t allow a debate or vote on them. In fact Harry has committed another felony since Congress is required by law to pass a federal budget

by April 30 of each year. The House has done so but Harry hasn’t allowed a budget to be voted on in four years.

You put a lot of effort in made-up facts trying to make Romney and Ryan look bad and the only positive thing you have to say about Obama is that he got bin Laden. You overlook the fact that Obama had the chance to take out bin Laden three times and was talked out of it by Biden and that Biden was upset with Obama when he did give the go ahead. Don’t believe me ask Valerie Jarrett, Obama’s closest adviser.

You don’t mention the fact that Obama is running his campaign the same way he is running the country, spending more money than is taken in. This is called a deficit and it was made official yesterday that Obama has run over $1-trillion deficit each year he has been in office. Didn’t he promise to cut the deficit in half in his first term?

You don’t mention that Obama is attacking Romney and Ryan over Medicare when he is the one that raided over $700-billion from the Medicare program to support ObamaCare. Did you know that in Title IV of the ObamaCare legislation is a section that specifically authorizes and requires the Secretary of Health and Human Services to “Eliminate Coverage of Certain Preventive Services” in Medicare and to “Establish Coverage of Certain Preventive Services” in Medicaid. This specifically takes from the old and gives to the young. This is who you support?

LETTERS People aren’t born to commit crimes — inmates are made To the editor, I urge you to evaluate what your view of the life of a prison inmate may look like. In the media, prison is portrayed as a place to solely go when you are punished for a crime.

No rehabilitation occurs, nor does any opportunity to advance and become a productive member of society upon release. Prison can be a rehabilitate environment for many inmates if they are given the change to heal from past wrongs or learn new ways to live that they may not have known.

I had a great opportunity to spend service learning time within the state prison system, and I can say with certainty that we can do better by both inmates and communities by making prisons an environment where rehabilitation is the focus, rather than the punishment. Recent statistics support and need for rehabilitation: as many as 56-percent of state prison inmates in the United States have a mental

health problem. Nearly 57-percent of female inmates and 20-percent of male inmates have a history of being victimized by abuse and 92-percent of state prison inmates in New Hampshire were under the influence of drugs or alcohol when they committed their crime.

People are not born waiting to commit crimes — inmates are made.

With proper rehabilitation, they will go back out into society better people who are less driven to commit crimes. Think about how much better the community would be if with significantly less fear of offenders being released from prison as rehabilitated people. Rehabilitation is a necessary step to safer communities as a whole and offenders being offered the opportunity to learn a more holistic way of coping with life’s challenges will go a long way toward a safe society.

Ryan Aquilina Northfield

Romeny & Ryan look at weather change through blinders To the editor, No matter what your belief is, something is happening with our weather and there are those that feel we should just ignore it and it will correct itself. But what happens if we do ignore it and it doesn’t correct itself.

The air gets so bad we can’t breath, ice melts and the seas rise. If the air gets that bad we really won’t have to worry about anything else. Clean air is the basis of everything that grows and lives. What would we do without it? Nothing. We have to be careful of how we live, what we use for energy and how we dispose of our trash.

The last issue is fairly easy — RECYCLE — dispose of legally (whatever you’re disposing) and just use your heads. When in doubt just ask.

Our energy needs are diverse but we are lucky as we have or can get lots

of oil, coal, solar, electric, wind power and other sources that haven’t been discovered yet. I don’t like nuclear because of the disposal and safety problems. Chernobyl, after 26 years, is still not inhabitable. Yup, a rarity but it does happen and we don’t need those problems. So, like it or not these are issues that we have to deal with now and in the future.

Politicians like Romney and Ryan look at this through blinders while filling their wallets with big oil money.

They will NEVER look at alternatives to oil, at least not until they run out of off shore banking accounts to hide their money. Obama will look at all sources of energy and invest where we can. Sometimes it might not work but that is no reason to give up.

chase and maintain tools and equipment. Then you need to purchase material to build and repair things.

Now you need to charge for that material and charge a fair wage to feed your kids and pay for your insurance, maintain your equipment and keep a roof over your head. You know, normal everyday “running a business.”

The business of maintaining N.H. is no different. There needs to be a balance, maintaining and growing a business does not come without income, period. We do have a revenue problem and prudent spending comes with running a business.

There have been suggestions that we (the town) ask our legislators to intervene with this ever growing infrastructure issue. Those very legislators (whom we are supposed to ask to pass legislation to give us money for road repair) created the environment that we are now in.

If we could remove some of the divisiveness and legislators could work together, just like employees in a business do, then maybe the state could come up with some common sense pragmatic solutions to running the business of N.H. I also feel that during elections incumbents and candidates have an obligation to the electorate. Whether it be to explain their voting record on critical issues or offer new ideas or plans of accomplishment for the betterment of our state and communities.

No legislator (with the exception of Ray Burton!) will be in office forever and when it comes to electing new ones maybe if the voters pay more attention to what someone truly stands for and what is most important for all of us, we may be in a better place. Just my opinion and not everyone will agree and that is the beauty of this great country.

Picking Our Own Super Sweet Corn

To the editor, This week at our Meredith Board of Selectman’s meeting an interesting and troubling conversation transpired during the managers report.

I am speaking about several unnumbered state maintained roads in Meredith in poor condition with no means to repair them. That would not be such an odd conversation but the dialogue has me bewildered.

There was talk about asking our legislators to file legislation or do something to get funding to repair these roads.

There was talk about the fact that we, the town cannot pay for these repairs and the fact that the state has no money. One would have to agree but I will make a point. When I ran for the House in the last election I remember specifically stating that the answer is not to slash the state budget and everything that it supports. I remember specifically stating that this drastic slashing would cause downshifting and that the municipalities would have to increase taxes because of this downshifting. We are seeing the beginning of the results of the slashing and downshifting.

I vow to maintain a non-partisan approach to being a selectman for Meredith as I feel that is the right thing to do and necessary to work for all of my constituents but the answer here is not to cut, cut and cut. It simply does not work that way. Current legislators pledged to cut the budget and that they did. Now we are seeing the results, poor and rapidly deteriorating infrastructure and loss of vital services.

I have owned a business for many years. Shocking as it may seem to some, in order to sustain a business, you need income, you need to “make money” and you will have overhead.

To the editor, I have the unique perspective of being a recently graduated high school student who is deeply concerned about this election and what it means for my educational future. Having done my research like the good schoolboy that I am, I can say with great trepidation that under a Romney administration the U.S. will fall further behind in international rankings while the rest of the world will continue to develop a skilled workforce.

Now, to all of those Romney supporters who are going to brand me as a naive, idealistic kid, why don’t you take a minute and acknowledge the facts that have led me to this state of uneasiness.

Romney’s $- trillion tax plan and massive increase in military spending mean that any deficit reduction will fall heavily on investments critical to middle-class security, including education. Romney supports the extreme House Republican budget — written by his running mate, Congressman Paul Ryan — that could cut education by 20-percent. These cuts could impact students at every stage of education in New Hampshire by cutting 600 kids from Head Start, slashing K-12 and

lion in New Hampshire, and slashing Pell Grant scholarships by $1,000 for 22,000 students. Try explaining those numbers to your kids at dinner time.

For those of you who like to see results of failed leadership instead of looking into the unpredictable future, consider this: when Mitt Romney was governor of Massachusetts, the state’s schools took the second largest percentage cuts in the country, and as a result, college costs skyrocketed while he was in office.

So, now you’ve seen the results. Do you really want to witness what will happen under a Romney-Ryan administration?

I know I don’t. I will continue my support for President Obama, because he has introduced new college tax credits for 39,000 students and larger Pell Grant scholarships for 22,000 students, in addition to making affordable loans available to 38,000 students just in New Hampshire alone. I’d rather have a president who believes that college can be made affordable through hard work, and not by simply “shopping around” like Gov. Romney proposes. The choice is clear. VOTE OBAMA! Your children will thank you later.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 24, 2012 — Page 7

LETTERS One obvious problem with Medicare is that only wages are taxed To the editor: Now that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney, has chosen his running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, optimists are looking for serious debate on the future of Medicare. There is not a snowball’s chance in a microwave any presidential aspirant will put real solutions on the proverbial table. (By way of definition, a “real solution” preserves the system and pays for itself.)

The reason is the usual. Politicians of all ilk depend on the American moneyed class for their continued existence.

They can neither speak ill of the basic inequalities built into federal taxation nor consider cost controls that may infringe profits. Consequently, politicians snipe at one another — it distracts the electorate from seeing their deficiencies in courage and substance — as they promote schemes that kick the can or bleed the powerless and shelter the powerful. The sole source of revenue for Medicare is a specifically designated payroll tax — 2.9-percent on wages. Employees and employers each pay half (1.45-percent). Self-employed people pay it all.

One obvious problem is only wages are taxed. No other source of income contributes revenue to Medicare.

That protects big bucks. For instance, according to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, personal income for all Americans in June was $13.4-trillion.

Of that, $6.9-trillion (51-percent) came from wages. In other words, there is a

potential to double Medicare revenue from personal income alone without raising tax rates one iota.

While not all personal income is appropriate for taxing, numerous personal sources bear examination.

For instance, taxing rental income and returns on assets ($2.1-trillion a month) would increase Medicare revenues 30-percent.

On the spending side, the key is reducing health care costs. That was the stated purpose of health care reform, but after all the sellouts and compromises, the Affordable Care Act (i.e., ObamaCare) fell far short of its original goal.

It is a shame. Strategies to reduce costs immediately as well as strategies to apply continual downward pressures on rising costs exist if only politicians cared more about their country than themselves.

An obvious starting place is to speed up the process to bring generic drugs to market once a name-brand patent has expired. Generics often sell for 10 or 15-percent of their name-brand equivalents and produce identical biomedical effects.

While 85 and 90-percent reductions in a health care cost are impressive, price negotiation is the real game changer.

Current federal law forbids Medicare — the largest payer of prescription drug costs — from negotiating with drug companies. Moreover, federal law prevents Medicare from paying for cheaper imported drugs.

Repeal of those laws holds significant

potential to reduce health care costs.

Drugs in Western Europe and Canada sell for a fraction of what they cost in the United States. Often drugs made in a same factory sell in Europe or Canada for 20 to 50-percent of what they sell for in America.

There are many reasons pharmaceutical manufactures sell for less in foreign markets. Underpinning many of those reasons is the realization among manufacturers there are no price constraints in America. If they cannot hit profit targets in Sweden or Germany, they can cover the shortfall in the U.S. Negotiating for price would not only reduce Medicare costs, it would reduce costs in the private sector.

Private insurers would reduce their cost by pegging their payments to the Medicare-negotiated rates.

Consequently, negotiating with the behemoth that is Medicare scares the stuffing out of pharmaceutical executives. They fight it tooth and nail by rewarding politicians supporting the status quo, withholding support from detractors and attacking them with extraordinary financial resources.

The good graces of the pharmaceutical industry are understandably important to politicians. Pharmaceuticals rival big oil in both cash on hand and income flow from profits. Presidential aspirants know the perils and act accordingly.

It is not just drugs. Private insurers (and all consumers) would benefit immensely if Medicare reduced or eliminated payments for unnecessary or ineffective procedures and prac-

tices. This could happen if federal law allowed (or, even better, encouraged) Medicare to insist medical professionals practice “evidenced-based care.”

With evidence-based care, there has to be evidence (i.e., some reason to believe) a test can be useful and a procedure or practice can improve things.

To most folks, this seems like a minimal standard if insurers, especially Medicare, are paying for it. “Fee for service,” however, is the current standard. If medical practitioners order it, Medicare and private insurers pay for it.

Research into the success or failure (i.e., the outcomes) of practices and procedures as well as research into the cost-effectiveness of alternative practices and procedures would also reduce costs. Medical care providers could apply — and the medical profession would probably require them to apply — effectiveness and outcomes research findings in their practices.

Of course, outcomes and cost-effectiveness research requires upfront financial commitment before it can reduce costs down the road. Politicians, being election-to-election people, tend to withhold or minimize funding. They cite counterproductive findings and failed hypotheses knowing there have been and will continue to be many.

In the final analysis, however, doing what works should be cheaper than doing everything that is available or the fad of the moment. Besides, facts should trump assumption in medical decision making, especially if public money is paying for it.

To the editor, The Republican Party has a hidden agenda — it has a history of making women second class citizens. As far back as possibly 1978, the Republican Party National Platform has made no exception for rape, incest or life of the mother in their plank regarding abortion. Congressman Todd Akin of Missouri stands in a long line of Republican who quote crazy science to justify an absolute prohibition against termination of a pregnancy. Their reasoning (if it can be called reason) is this — if a women conceives in a rape then she really wanted to have sex because a female body is programmed to reject the rapist’s sperm if the rape is a “legitimate rape.” How outrageous!

We have a large group of old, white Republican men who are afraid of women. They are a calloused, insensitive group to be making laws regarding women’s bodies. The extreme right wing of the Republican Party have rejected any thing resembling moderate, willing to compromise in order to govern in the best interests of our country. The leadership has caved in to this extreme craziness.

Veep candidate Congressman Paul Ryan has joined Congressman Akin to sponsor a bill that slices and dices

the term “rape.” Now they introduce the term “forced rape.” Our President Obama has it right — “rape is rape.”

Males can never completely understand the fear and trauma of rape that accompanies the threat and/or the actual assault of one’s body.

The Republican Party is against any law that allows women to control their own health care and reproductive capacity. Candidate Willard Romney has said that he would reject any federal funds for Planned Parenthood, an organization that provides breast cancer screenings for hundreds of thousands of women. It provides family planning so women can be a viable part of our economy — they can choose if and when they will have a family — they can choose to pursue a career. The Affordable Care Act incorporates this same freedom to choose.

The U.S. Senate tried uncessfully to pass the Blunt amendment that would give employers the option of deciding if women employees would be covered for birth control prescriptions.

It is imperative that every woman and every caring man vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden on November 6th.

Burton ready & resourceful & solves problems for constituents To the editor, New Hampshire has five Executive Council districts. Each has one representative. These five approve, or not, all appointments and certain contracts made by the governor. For instance, judge, commissioner of state departments (Safety, Health, Environment, etc.). Also all large contracts, i.e. buildings, highways, etc. come before the Council.

Our District Once Councilor is Ray Burton. We have elected him 17 times.

Why? Ray is ready and resourceful

and solves problems by making the contacts needed. Ray connects us to the appropriate local, county, state, or federal person or agency. He always follows through and was always a great help to me. We need to re-elect him! Please plan to vote at the primary on September 11. REMEMBER, when you vote for Ray and your other choices for office, you will make sure they will be on the November ballot.

LETTERS I do know who Jeanie Forrester is and what she stands for To the editor, Hey Bob Lamb. Let’s get with it!

The primary is only a few weeks away and who are you? What do your stand for? Every vote in the New Hampshire Senate is very important to me.

We have one of the smallest state senates in the nation. How can I trust you voting in my behalf unless I know you? I consider myself blessed to live here. I am grateful for the wisdom of the past that has made our state a coveted place to live, work, visit and raise a family but times are changing and critical decisions are looming on the state and local level.

How much fight do you have in you to stand up for the values I feel are important? Will you buckle to the lobbyists and crumble to political pressure? How much time have you spent in Concord? Do you really know what that “climate” is like there? These are critical economic times.

Our state educational system needs to be built-up and not shortchanged. The future of New Hampshire, the one our children and grandchildren would like to call home, rests with those we put into office today. Will our children be able to afford to live here? Will their educational opportunities qualify them to be the leaders of tomorrow.... knowledgeable and principled leaders dedicated to preserving the qualities of life that we enjoy here today? Of course, if our elected officials fail to make responsible decisions now, our children won’t have that chance.

Specifically, where do you stand on educational funding? How would you attract and retain the most qualified and skilled teachers to New Hampshire? Many state secondary roads are crumbling due to deferred maintenance... what do you propose we do to protect our infrastructure from further decay? Do you support the Affordable Health Care plan? Do

you support expanding Medicaid in New Hampshire? Do you believe New Hampshire needs a broad-based tax system and, if so, what would it entail? On your website you very briefly highlight your thoughts on education, health and the economy but there is nothing there about specific legislation you would introduce to effect positive change or how it would be funded. I challenge you to come up with an action plan!

Without a reason to vote for you, Bob, I have to look at the record. Senator Forrester’s is out there for all to see. She keeps in touch with her constituents and regularly up-dates in her e-newsletter informing everyone of her stand on impending legislation while always seeking input from them. Contrary to a letter recently submitted by Elizabeth McNeil, Senator Forrester does have an issues section on her website. While I can’t support Senator Forrester’s every vote, I do know who she is and what she stands for. I know she stands for the qualities of life that I cherish most... those values that make New Hampshire what it is. I know she is independent minded, knowledgeable and well informed on the issues. She is energetic, strong-willed and determined to make a difference. Her record speaks for itself.

She hasn’t been and, if re-elected, won’t be “pushed around” in Concord. Can I be as confident of you?

So... spell it out Bob... answer my questions ... take up my challenge.

Your website highlights five major news stories... all limited to your battle over debates and forums, times and places! Give us a break! How you decide to provide us with the information we need to make an informed decision in September is irrelevant.

Ed Touhey Meredith

Parents use to do whatever was necessary to support their families To the editor, My heart goes out to the poor, the elderly whose plans and savings have been ravaged by inflation or unexpected expenses, the handicapped who cannot provide for themselves, and workers who struggle to support their families, working long hours and perhaps multiple jobs.

A recent Associated Press article identifies a different set of “poor”, a set for which I have less sympathy. The article was in “The Citizen of Laconia” on August 15, page A5, titled, “Some below poverty line don’t qualify for Medicaid.”

The article talks about the level of income where a person or a family no longer qualifies for Medicaid. The article wants us to feel sorry for a family with a mother, unemployed father and child with an income of $15,000, which is above the level that allows them to qualify for Medicaid (in their home state). The article pulls at our heartstrings as we don’t want anyone to not get medical care or be unable to afford their medicine.

But, of course, they do get medical care and the mother was prescribed blood pressure medicine which Walmart probably sells for $4 per month.

The $15,000 family income (not including whatever “welfare” benefits they get) comes from the mother’s 20 hour per week job. One wonders why

per week, either at her current or another job? One wonders why the father isn’t working at whatever job he can get to support his family ... like millions of other fathers?

Before all our current “welfare” programs were established, Mothers and fathers did whatever it took to support their families without living off the hard work of others. Many Americans, like me, typically work (or worked) an average of 50 to 60 hours per week to support their families.

Working couples often include two 40 hour per week workers.

If this husband and wife both worked full time at the wife’s rate, they would generate $60,000, which is above the average American family income. This income would turn them from poor to independence and even contributors.

But, perhaps the $15,000 plus the “welfare” benefits make life comfortable enough that it is not worth the effort to work full time. If this is the case, these programs must be changed.

It seems to me that the American people put Medicaid and other “welfare” type programs in place for people who can’t support themselves, not for people who could, but don’t wish to put forth the effort to, support themselves.

Laconia School Board members Stacie Sirois, Mal Murray and Chris Guilmett went to the roof of Laconia High School with Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin on a tour of the construction project at the school. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)

School Board gets tour of LHS construction project

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

The tour began with a look from the first floor of the high school down upon the recently poured footings for a 32,000-square-foot, $6.1-million addition which will house, as part of the Huot Regional Technical Education Center, a restaurant and the culinary arts program as well as health science, multi media and information technology classes.

Champlin said that $500,000 had been saved on the project by leaving space between the existing high school building and the addition and that eventually high school construction classes would be able to build a covered walkway connecting the buildings.

Next was the former music department office which has now become the technology center for the School District and where dozens of new computers were waiting to be unpacked and then the office and studio of Lakes Region Public Access television (LRPA), which was designed by high school students

in collaboration with the directors and staff of the LRPA. The space, remodeled by students supervised by staff, now has a separate entrance, yet connect to the high school on the entry floor level.

They also got to see the new band rooms and art rooms and passed through the gymnasium, still piled high with furniture and equipment which was moved there, with the aid of students, so that reconstruction of other parts of the school could take place during the summer months. ‘’We ‘ve been able to get a lot of work done with our own crew over the last several weeks,’’ Champlin told the school board members.

Board member Mal Murray said that one of the best things that happened during the project was the decision to run all of the new electrical wiring through conduits on the roof which enabled the lines to be dropped down through the ceilings instead of having to rewire each and every room. ‘’That saved see next page

from preceding page thousands of hours,’’ said Murray, who was also greatly enthused by the changes made to the preengineering, manufacturing and automotive sections of the Huot Center.

Champlin said that the automobile program has five new state of the art lifts and that the plumbing and heating program is being moved next to the building trades program, where a large wall is being removed in order to allow building trades students to build pre-fab homes and have the ability to move them out of the building once they are completed.

He said that one of the first projects for both building trades and plumbing and heating will be the construction of a concession stand for the new Bank of New Hampshire Stadium. The building will also house restrooms.

The tour next went to the basement area of the high school, where four brand new energy-efficient boilers have been installed which take up only oneROYS from page one of the High School. The $16.8-million project will include a 32,000-square-foot addition to the high school and new science labs.

To reach the campaign’s $1 million goal, the district is asking for donations of many sizes. Several local businesses have contributed in the tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars.

For example, the facility will be known as Bank of New Hampshire Stadium in honor of that institution’s $250,000 gift. For those who don’t own a large company, though, there are more modest ways for graduates, families or fans to participate in the project — and have their participation permanently commemorated.

Plans for the new field include a walkway from a parking lot behind the school. For donations starting at $125, supporters of the project can have their name or a short message inscribed on a four by eight inch brick lining the walkway. Eight by eight pavers can be sponsored for $250. For a $1,000 donation, a square foot granite paver can be inscribed with a message or even an image.

Those who wish to make a contribution through Paypal or by a credit card can do so through a website set up by the district. Go to laconiaschools.org and click on the “LHS Athletic Field Capital Campaign” link to do so. For those who purchase a granite paver, or make an equal or larger donation, the

They next went to the roof of the high school, where all of the roofs are being redone and covered with rubber membranes, which have a white surface and reflect rather than retain heat.

Champlin pointed out the two rooftop air conditioning units, which he said are not part of the project but may be replaced if enough money is saved in other areas.

At Tuesday’s school board meeting Champlin outlined his theme for city schools during the coming year as ‘’Schools Can’t Do It Alone’’, citing a book of the same name by former businessman Jamie Vollmer, who has taken the lead in promoting educational change across the country through building community support for public schools. Citing the success of last year’s ‘’Teach Like a Champion’’ theme, Champlin said he hoped to help ‘’create the great conversation’’ which helps build community trust and support. district is making available the option to spread the contribution over several years. For information on such an arrangement, email lhscapitalcampaign@ laconiaschools.org or call the district at 524-5710.

For the Roys, the capital campaign is an effort well worth their investment. “Speaking as president of the youth football organization, what we’ve tried to do with (high school football) Coach Kozens is start a system that goes from the bottom all the way to the top,” said Rod. However, with a natural grass field, the careful alignment of coaching and philosophies could be undermined by a string of rainy days, when practices would be canceled for fear of ruining the playing surface. That concern will be a thing of the past when the new field, featuring the same ultra-durable artificial grass played on by the New England Patriots, is in place. The field can host practices for several sports all week long and still be in pristine condition for game nights. “That will be a huge benefit to us.”

Not only will the field accommodate more practices, noted Mark, it will also make possible the hosting of tournaments. “With that field, we might be hosting a championship game or regionals,” he said. A regional youth football tournament would attract players, and their families, from all over New England. Such an event would raise funds for the football organization, as well as the region in gensee next page

PLYMOUTH — The busiest day of the year for Plymouth State University and surrounding communities arrives on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Nearly 2300 students will converge on campus, with the busiest time from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Traffic in the towns of Plymouth and Holderness will be heaviest at that time.

PSU Move-In allows students to quickly and efficiently fill the university’s eight residence halls with the help of staff, students and families.

University, Holderness and Plymouth police, residence hall staff and building workers will also help incoming students park, unload and move their belongings. PSU athletic teams will

also pitch in to help their classmates move in and get settled. All cars will be allowed 15 minutes to unload near the residence halls and then will be directed to park in the visitor lot next to the Ice Arena or the PE Center Visitor Parking Lot — both are located on Route 175-A across the bridge.

By Monday evening, it is expected that more than 80-percent of the students will have been moved in to their on-campus residences. The remainder will arrive on Tuesday before the first full day of classes start Wednesday, September 5.

Go to http://www.plymouth.edu/ office/residential-life/move-in-2012/ to view a campus map with the preferred routes of travel for those moving students in.

SENATE 7 from page one compared to the money raised by the Democrat waiting the winner in November.

Grimm collected $9,680 for 20 contributors and spent $2,2487, leaving him with a balance of $7,192. Youseff raised $2,970 from a dozen donors, spent $1,845 and has $1,124 in hand.

Grimm loaned his campaign $1,000, increasing his outstanding debt to his campaign to $3,343. A trustee of LRGHealthcare, he received $550 in contributions from four senior officials of the non-profit corporation as well as two $1,000 donations from individuals.

Youseff received $1,000 from Patricia Humphrey of Concord and $400 from Barbara Aichinger of Gilford, who together accounted for almost

half of all the funds he raised.

Meanwhile, Andrew Hosmer of Laconia, the lone Democratic candidate, has raised $41,440 from some 150 donors, spent $12,800 and has a balance of $28,639. The general manager of the AutoServ dealership in Tilton, he received $1,000 from the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association PAC along with another $4,250 from eight different dealerships. He also garnered financial support from unions representing public employees, including firefighters, teachers and state employees.

Senate District 7 consists of Laconia, Belmont and Gilford in Belknap County and Andover, Boscawen, Canterbury, Franklin, Northfield, Salisbury and Webster in Merrimack County.

SEAL from page 2 his personal security,” Dutton spokeswoman Christine Ball said in a statement. “That personal security is the sole reason the book is being published under a pseudonym.”

Bissonnette also changed the names of the other SEALs in the account, the publisher says.

Efforts to locate Bissonnette for comment were unsuccessful.

Special Operations Command spokesman Col. Tim Nye said the retired SEAL could be endangered by being identified, which could also expose those active-duty SEALs the author worked with in the killing of bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan last year.

The book and the author’s name come out amid debate over the possible damage to U.S. national security

by leaks in the media about top secret operations.

Yet the book also comes at a time when special operations forces are prominently featured in the media as never before, even as the elite organizations demand secrecy.

A rash of new books trumpet special operators’ exploits. For example, “American Sniper,” a best-seller by recently retired SEAL Chris Kyle, details his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009.

A handful of special operations advocacy groups have sprung up decrying leaks, but they identify themselves by name as former members of some of the elite units, in an online campaign video that slams President Barack Obama for releasing details of the bin Laden raid.

Perspectives: Pt. IV of VI

UNH student Nathaniel Colp, also equipped with a level, measures a depression laced with cracks in the surface of Bisson Avenue in course of collecting data on the condition of virtually every street in Laconia. (Laconia Daily Sun photo/Michael Kitch)

STREETS from page one Craig Borgeson, who supervised Colp’s work said that he prepared “on his own time and picked everything up very quickly.”

“I started in the office,” Colp said, “with a map of the city.” Using the major roads as dividing lines, he broke the city into manageable blocks. Starting in the south end, he worked in a circle to capture the densest sections of downtown then turned north to Lakeport before completing the circuit in The Weirs.

In the field, Colp used a measuring wheel to divide each street into segments of 300 feet and 100 feet, which he marked with spray paint. “People were always asking what was going to happen to their street,” he said. Then, using the segments he randomly sampled 25-percent of each street. Colp said it was important to evaluate both good and bad sections of each road street to ensure the a balanced set of data.

Moynihan emphasized that having one person in the field collecting the information ensured an optimal measure of objectivity and consistency in the data.

Sampling consisted of analyzing and rating 19 “distresses,” each catalogued and by a standard manual. The distresses include bumps, sags, ruts, cracking, depressions and potholes. Cracks may be

transverse, or crossing the roadway, longitudinal, or paralleling the roadway, or “alligator,” or a dense web of cracking anywhere on the surface. The edge of the roadway may also be failing. Another distress, found on slopes, is called slipping, usually a half moon indentation where warm asphalt has moved under the weight of a heavy vehicle. Patches, where utilities have been installed or repaired, also count as distresses.

Colp recorded the distresses in a notebook, rating the severity of each low, medium or high then on returning to the office entered the data he collected into a a road management program called Micro Paver, which will assign a “pavement condition index (PCI) to each road.

The PCI is combined with several other factors, such as whether the road is a primary artery, secondary route, or neighborhood street or serves as a route to a hospital or school, effectively ranking streets according to the volume of traffic they carry and their importance in the road network.

Once the data base is complete, the program will score the condition of each street and generate a “Road Repair Priority List” as well as recommend see STREETS page 15 Family Owned and Operated Since 1946

Done Right The First Time!

Last week we discussed some thoughts I had regarding declining State and Federal budgets. The negative prevailing situation in our economy, coupled with higher taxes and less revenues going into State Coffers, is impacting pension benefits to public employees and retirees. Changes must begin with individuals paying more attention to available retirement options and taking charge of their own financial futures. “If retirement planning is to be, it will be, in part, up to me.” Furthermore, if it is up to me, then I need greater certainty because I (we) cannot afford to get whacked like the 2008-2009 severe bear market with up to 57% declines in Retirement Accounts nationally.

Insured Retirement Solution Many “Baby Boomers” today are looking for Contractual Guarantees similar to the ones found in Employer defined benefit plans. The objective is to “shore up” needed monies to help pay costs associated with retiring. Sustainability is key; because regardless of how long elderly Americans live, they are increasingly interested in insured retirement solutions. Although there has been a disdain for annuities (mostly through an uninformed public) that provide contractual guarantees, systematic withdrawal plans or tactics using target dates often take on an arbitrary approach of projecting the income stream that will be needed for say, 20 years. For those 65 year olds who are looking for an income solution for a set period of time, these options may be suitable. The “Reality” is no one knows how long they will live.

Solution What is being missed is the insured retirement solution based on annuities that allow people to create their own form of a defined benefit pension plan using their own assets. Insurance companies “pool risk” and it can be risks of all types like Life Insurance, Homeowner Insurance, etc.

Retirement Insurers are in a unique position to pool overall longevity and financial risk and are thus able to give those insured the opportunity to guarantee a “Stream of Income” that can last throughout retirement and that is even if they live beyond age 100. Insurance companies are unique in that they can contractually make these guarantees. Mutual Funds and Brokerage Firms cannot do this. In fact, it’s a big No-No to use any form of guarantee when connected to their investment offerings. Although banks offer FDIC – insured products that guarantee a rate of return, they cannot offer ways of guaranteeing a “Stream of Income” for life. The concept of Pooled Risk can be explained as follows: when an owner purchases an automobile for $50,000 with no insurance, he or she would be on the hook for $50,000 if totaled. If two people take on the risk, each will pay $25,000 if one car is lost. Spreading that risk among 10 drivers reduces the risk to $5,000, and if 20 drivers pool their risk then each driver is on the hook for $2,500. The concept of pooling risk to protect retirement is similar and is simply spreading the risk of possibly exhausting personal savings before the end of life among all policy holders. Next week we will exam what every retiree fears: “out-living their retirement assets.”

Judge orders Huard’s bail kept at $10k

By Gail OBer

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Judge Jim Carroll ruled earlier this week that the former Gilford man who allegedly threatened to shoot a city police detective and the city prosecutor will remain in jail on $10,000 cash bail.

In a bail hearing held last week, an attorney for Bernard O. Huard, 54, now of Franklin, told Carroll that his client had diabetic problems and the night he made his alleged threats he was suffering from mental instability due to low blood sugar.

Despite hearing the reasons behind his actions, Carroll said that he found “the bail amount was adequately, properly and prudently established in response to circumstances by which the court found probable cause.”

“The court found then and finds now that the defendant presents a danger to himself and, in particular, to others when considering the state’s affidavit...,” Carroll wrote.

The state’s affidavits said not only

did Huard call the Laconia Cardiology medical practice and tell one of its employees he was going to kill Det. Kevin Butler and Prosecutor Jim Sawyer but when Gilford and Laconia Police arrested him at a friend’s house on Liscomb Circle in Gilford, they said he had a 40-round loaded magazine that fit an AK-47 automatic weapon and was in Gilford to find a gun.

Huard allegedly reiterated his threats in front of three police officers, including Laconia Police Capt. William Clary, while they were guarding him at the hospital.

Affidavits said Huard told Clary he didn’t care if he was making threats against he life of a police officer in front of three other police officers and that Butler “deserved a bullet in the head.”

Gilford Police Prosecutor Eric Bredbury is handling the case against Huard, who is charged with four counts of misdemeanor criminal threatening and one count of resisting arrest.

Huard is represented by Public Defender John Bresau.

Senate 2 candidates pretty even; much of Lamb’s money coming from out-of-state MEREDITH — The race for the New Hampshire Senate in District 2 between incumbent Republican Jeanie Forrester of Meredith and her Democratic challenger Bob Lamb of Holderness promises to be relatively costly, judging by financial statements filed with the New Hampshire Secretary of State this week.

Forrester reported receipts of $18,705 since June, which together with her prior balance of $49,185, brought her total contributions to $67,890. With expenditures of $18,849, she has cash on hand of $49,040. Among her nearly 100 listed contributors, all but 10 are New

Hampshire residents and only five donated as much as $1,000.

After raising $73,791 and spending $16,675, Lamb was left with a balance of $57,116. Some $35,000, nearly half of the total receipts he reported, were received from 16 individuals living outside New Hampshire who contributed $1,000 or more apiece.

Senate District 2 includes five towns in Belknap County — Center Harbor, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton and Tilton — together with 19 towns in Grafton County and three towns in Merrimack County.

STREETS from page 13 options for road repairs and estimate their cost.

Moynihan said that Colp’s work, the “inventory and condition survey,” represents the last component the department required to begin prioritizing and scheduling improvements to city streets in the years ahead. Apart from the major roads, where traffic control would have been required to ensure Colp’s safety, he said “we have all the data necessary to generate an updated proposed roadway repair priority list.”

Moynihan said that as improvements are made they will be incorporated into the database Colp collected, which he anticipated would have a useful life of at least five and perhaps 10 years.

Despite working outdoors in uncommon heat, Colp said that he enjoyed his job, which provided him with both a thorough command of the geography of the city and a running start on the remainder of civil engineering program at UNH.

COLORADO from page 2 been a neuroscience doctoral candidate.

The university turned over the documents last week, but Holmes’ lawyers moved to keep them sealed.

Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson told the judge that Holmes was stockpiling ammunition, body armor and explosives at his apartment and at the university while he was flunking out. Gaining access to the records, she argued, would establish motive by showing what Holmes hoped to accomplish at CU and the “dissatisfaction with what occurred in his life that led to this.”

The judge said he would rule in time for the next hearing in the case,

scheduled for Aug. 30.

Holmes is charged with killing 12 people and wounding 58 in the shooting during a midnight showing of the latest Batman movie. He has not issued a plea and remains held without bail.

The prosecutors’ account presented a sharply different picture of Holmes’ departure from CU from that provided by university officials in the days after the shooting.

Pearson did not elaborate on the nature of the threats during the hearing, nor did she disclose the source of the information. But she said that professors had urged Holmes to get into another profession and that his research had been deteriorating.

SMITH from page one Most contributions to the campaigns for Democratic gubernatorial candidates Maggie Hassan and Jackie Cilley were from individuals, some donations as small as $3.

“Maggie’s campaign has attracted over 3,100 individual donors and 1,331 new donors since our last filing June 19,” spokesman Will Craig said. He noted that 64 percent gave $100 or less.

Two years ago, GOP gubernatorial nominee John Stephen collected nearly $100,000 from a series of LLCs traced to the same Massachusetts address.

Like Smith, he collected money from other LLCs with the same address in other locations.

Stephen lost to Democratic incumbent John Lynch.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 24, 2012— Page 17

ROMNEY from page 2 Romney’s law has led to about 400,000 Massachusetts residents gaining coverage, state officials say. More than 98 percent of state residents are covered. Obama’s law has already led to coverage for more than 2.5 million young adults on their parents’ plans. If all of its provisions go into effect, more than 30 million uninsured people will be covered.

The Massachusetts law requires residents to have insurance, with certain exemptions.

Those who can show they earn too much to qualify for the state’s subsidized health care plan, but not enough to afford even the least expensive nonsubsidized plan, are not required to pay the so-called “individual mandate” penalty.

The Supreme Court ruled that Obama’s individual mandate constitutional — as a tax. It, too, has exemptions for financial hardship, religious beliefs, and membership in an American Indian tribe.

The law Romney signed also created an unelected board — known as the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority Board — which oversees an independent state agency that decides what level of insurance complies with the state law.

The agency can also exempt people whose financial hardships prevent them from enrolling in health insurance.

Since Obama’s plan was modeled on Romney’s, some conservatives remain wary of the former Massachusetts governor. Some GOP activists were angered when a Romney spokeswoman touted the Massachusetts plan on Fox News earlier this month.

In Thursday’s interview, one of a series the presumptive Republican presidential nominee gave local broadcast outlets in swing states, Romney was asked how he’d appeal to women voters on health care and other issues. The Obama campaign has been pounding Romney for his stances on birth control, abortion and other women’s issues.

Romney replied by talking about how he’d improve the economy and education. Then he shifted to health care, saying it was “a big issue.”

Romney also laughed off concerns that a hurricane could disrupt the Republican National Convention in Tampa next week. “The winds of change are coming,” he said, “so we’re looking forward to it.”

Angels edge Red Sox 14-13 to complete sweep BOSTON (AP) — Kendrys Morales led off Los Angeles’ two-run 10th inning with a solo homer, and the Angels completed a three-game sweep of Boston by outlasting the Red Sox 14-13 on Thursday night.

The Red Sox wasted a 6-0 lead then rallied from deficits of 8-7 in the sixth and 12-11 in the ninth. But closer Alfredo Aceves struggled after Boston was one out away from victory in the ninth. Aceves (2-8) gave up five runs and six hits in one inning, and the Red Sox lost for the 11th time in 15 games.

Ernesto Frieri (2-0) got the win after giving up a tying solo homer in the ninth to Cody Ross, his 19th of the season, and an RBI single in the 10th to Dustin Pedroia, who drove in five runs.

Frieri was charged with a blown save, but secured the win when he struck out Adrian Gonzalez to end the 4-hour, 34-minute game.

With the score tied at 12, Morales jumped on an 0-1 pitch from Aceves for his 16th homer — just over

the low right field fence. Erick Aybar followed with a single, knocking out Aceves. Vernon Wells hit an RBI double off Craig Breslow for the final run.

The Angels, who were swept in four games by Tampa Bay before coming to Boston, remained five games behind the Rays and closed to within 3 1-2 of Baltimore in the race for the AL’s two wild-card spots.

The Red Sox took an 11-9 lead in the eighth on RBI singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedroia, but the Angels rallied in the ninth and regained the lead with Wells’ eighth homer and two-out, run-scoring singles by Torii Hunter and Mark Trumbo.

Angels starter C.J. Wilson, 0-5 in his last 11 starts, struggled again.

The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first on a double

by Pedroia and an RBI single by Gonzalez. They made it 6-0 in the second on run-scoring singles by Scott Podsednik and Ellsbury and Pedroia’s 11th homer, a three-run shot.

Sheriff candidate apologizes for deadly force to prevent abortion remark

MANCHESTER (AP) — A New Hampshire businessman running for Hillsborough County sheriff has apologized for his statement that he would not rule out the use of deadly force to halt an abortion from taking place.

Republican Frank Szabo of Goffstown had said he believes elective abortions, while legal, are not lawful and that he would arrest any doctor who performs them.

When asked recently if he would use deadly force to prevent abortions, he said the sheriff should do “everything in their power” to prevent the abortion from happening. On Thursday, he retracted his comments, saying he let his passionate stance against abortion “get the better of me.” He said he would not use lethal force against an abortion doctor.

Szabo said he admits arresting doctors for performing abortions was a bad example of a larger point he was trying to convey, which is that the county sheriff’s job is to enforce the law of the land

as spelled out in the state and federal constitutions.

“With government’s increasing encroachment on citizens’ natural rights, particularly their right to own and control their own property, the abortion doctor example was really a poor choice to prove a point about the sheriff’s potential role as a constitutional officer,” Szabo said.

Szabo is one of four candidates running for county sheriff in the district that includes Manchester.

Democratic party leadership had called on Republicans candidates to denounce Szabo’s stance before he issued the apology.

“It’s outrageous to hear a candidate for a law enforcement office express utter disregard for the law,” Democratic gubernatorial candidate Maggie Hassan said in a statement Thursday following Szabo’s apology. “All citizens of New Hampshire should condemn Frank Szabo’s violent threats and call on him to end his candidacy.”

David M. DeFosses, 61 BRATTLEBORO, Vermont — David Michael DeFosses, 61, a resident of Brattleboro, VT for over 15 years died Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center following a period of failing health. Family members were at his side. David was born in Franklin, NH, March 19, 1951, son of the late Victor and Doris (Thayer) DeFosses. He was raised in Franklin and Laconia, NH. A graduate from Laconia High School, David went on to the New Hampshire Technical Institute in Concord, graduating with a degree in business. He was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis as a child. He was very courageous and did not let his physical ability stop him from achieving so much in his life. He loved to bowl, play rummy and ride his scooter.

David wrote short stories and poetry that he shared with his family. He was an avid follower of the NASA Space Program and kept a very detailed collection of all space launch missions since it began in 1961. Those with David on his first trip to the Christa McAuliffe Planetarium in Concord remem-

ber the complete awe he experienced that day and how his face lit up. He had a brilliant mind and a huge heart. David loved his friends and his family dearly and was an inspiration by all who knew him. He will never be forgotten by them.

In addition to his parents he was predeceased by his sister, Maria DeFosses.

His family includes his wife of 15 years, Beverly (Ryder) DeFosses of Brattleboro and her children, Jimmy Merithew and his wife Laura, and daughter, Linda Prentice, grandchildren, Krystal, Paul, Jamie and Michael; his brother, Philip DeFosses and his wife Linda of Franklin, NH; numerous nieces and nephews and an aunt, Violet Brelsford of CT.

LACONIA — The 11th Laconia Multicultural Festival (LMF) is a day long festival that honors and celebrates the growing diversity in the Lakes Region. Besides free entertainment and food which aroma and appearance one cannot resist, the day offers social services, arts, crafts, exhibits, animals, children’s activities, henna tattoos, from a multitude cultures around the world.

Tasting Nepali, Spanish, Italian, Greek, Jewish, Chinese, Indian, Egyptian and food from many other parts of the world will be available starting at 10 a.m.

Classical Indian dance by award-winning Neha Parikh originally from Bombay, India, will be an opportunity to learn that the movements of classical Indian dance are “highly stylized”. Not only hands and feet but facial gestures too have to be timed precisely to the complexities of classical Indian music.

The costumes and personal adornments are equally important parts of the tradition and are rich in color and texture. Neha is a very talented dancer who specialized in two styles – Bharata Natyam and Mohini Attam.

The Granite State Zoo will bring the zoo to downtown Laconia. Sponsored by Laconia Kiwanis, the zoo is a real treat for children as well as adults to see, touch, hear about animals and get answers on their questions.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis instead of trying to run from them. Even if what your parents gave you was negligible or negative, you’ll be more powerful if you can accept that and build from there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

Sometimes you fall into relationships so automatically that you completely forget that you can pick your friends.

Try it anew today. You’re a different person, and it just may turn out better for you this time around.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your scene could use some new color.

Notice what your eye is attracted to, and investigate. This metaphor can be applied to each of your senses to sparkle up your immediate environs.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You were given a handful of elements to use in your formation of a project. You mold them into something that’s all yours and utterly different from that from which they came.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s something to be gained from an identity crisis, and you’re the proof.

If you momentarily forget who you are, the answer is closer to your childhood idea of yourself than it is to anything after.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 24).

Many will follow your lead this year, and luckily for them, you’ll lead with an exuberant celebration of life. You’ll pursue education in September and wind up with sharp skills. October brings a new influence, and a lucrative project follows. Love and its many forms will be your favorite pastime in December and throughout 2013. Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 2, 12, 32 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Put something great on the schedule for next week instead of doing it now. If you forestall your reward, you’ll have the added pleasure of thinking about how wonderful it will be to finally indulge.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Discretion is important to you. You will have the confidence to learn something new once you are reasonably sure that your errors will not be pointed out for all to see.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For those who have access to a library or the Internet, education is free. Having the will and motivation to study is a rare gift, though, a gift that you possess and will make the most of.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your imitation of someone is not deliberate and may not even be conscious. But suddenly you’ll notice that you have lifted a manner of expression, and you’ll decide what it means.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you could give your past self a good talking to, what would you say? Once you answer that question, accept a visit from your future self, and listen to all the wisdom this being has to impart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your job appears to be very similar to the job you were doing yesterday. To prevent boredom, inject some creativity into it.

If you don’t attempt some kind of spice or twist, this job is hardly worth doing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You said what needed to be said, but no one was listening. So say it again. Often people need to hear the same message seven times or more before they understand its call to action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Embrace your parental influences

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Friday, August 24, 2012— Page 23

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: Our 21-year-old daughter has had weight issues for years. “Barbara” weighs 80 pounds more than she should. I cannot remember a time when Barbara’s weight wasn’t a big deal to my husband. His mother also puts in her two cents with regular comments to Barbara concerning her diet. So do other family members. I find their obsession with her weight nauseating. I know they are concerned about Barbara’s health, but I believe they are expressing it the wrong way.

My daughter is beautiful and creative and has a huge heart.

I offer healthy food choices in the house and make balanced meals when she is home. She has seen a doctor and has information on proper nutrition. We have offered to pay for gym memberships and diet programs, which she has declined. We bought her a bicycle, which she rides, and I have invited her to go on walks with me. She always starts with a real effort and then stops. I believe her family should accept her as she is. I have become the buffer, trying to be encouraging and positive while filtering out the harshness of others. I have told my husband that Barbara must make lifestyle changes herself, and that his comments and pressure tactics have a negative effect. But he can’t help himself. He is frustrated that he cannot control his daughter’s size and that I won’t go along with his approach. It is causing stress in our marriage. Please help.

-- In the Middle Dear Middle: You should remove yourself from the equation altogether. Barbara is an adult, and not only are her choices her own, but so are the consequences. Instead of protecting her, advise her on how to handle her relatives’ negative comments, and then let her do it. Tell your husband you will no longer be involved in his issues with Barbara, and when he brings up her weight, simply reply, “Yes, dear,” and then ignore him.

Dear Annie: I received permanent custody of my cousin’s 14-month-old son because of his mother ’s neglect. The boy is now 4.

He has called me “Mommy” from the beginning. I refer to his bio mom by her first name. However, when we are at family gatherings, she insists on calling herself “Mommy.” She gets in his face and says, “Who am I? What’s my name?” And then he looks at me, totally confused.

My cousin and her family are struggling with the fact that I am the only mommy he knows. I will tell him the truth when I feel he is mature enough. But shouldn’t they have more respect for me and not confuse him? -- Mommy that Matters Dear Mommy: Whether or not they respect you, they should respect the child and not do things that will confuse and disturb him. Still, you cannot control what these relatives do, so we recommend you inform your son about his origins in an appropriate manner as soon as possible. He needs to understand that this woman is his biological mother, but she was unable to take care of him and you wanted him very much, and you both love him deeply. Talk to your pediatrician about the best way to handle this, and perhaps get a referral to a family therapist.

Dear Annie: This is in response to “Crying in Ohio,” whose husband of 46 years told her she is terribly obese.

My father suffered from dementia in his later years. We were all hurt and confused by the mean-spirited comments he made, but after his diagnosis, we realized those remarks were the first sign of the disease.

If this behavior is out of the norm, she should take her husband to a doctor and find out whether there is a medical cause. There may be medication to help, and she won’t waste precious years being angry with him for something he can’t control. -- Omaha

New Hampshire Boat Museum Board Member, Jeannie Lewis says, “Mr. Wilder is a dynamic speaker who provides great insight into the hiking and scenic beauty of the Belknap Range. Attendees will be highly interested in this speaker’s presentation.”

Andy Grammer, who began his career as a street performer on the Santa Monica strip, rounds out this trio. He is known for his vibrant pop/ rock and soul mix with a free-flowing vocal delivery.

In addition to private patient rooms, renovations include a new endoscopy suite at LRGH, updating medical imaging equipment at FRH and LRGH, and an expansion of the LRGH Emergency Department to accommodate the growing needs of the community.

“LRGHealthcare is extremely grateful to the Trustees of the Cogswell Benevolent Trust for their leadership-level gift and we are one step closer to reaching our goal of making these renovations a reality,” states LRGHealthcare President and CEO Tom Clairmont.

To date, $3.2 million has been committed to the Capital Campaign. The organization needs to raise a minimum of $4 million for these renovations. For more information about the campaign, visit www.lrgh.org.

Generously Sponsored by

CONCORD — Concord’s Capital Mineral Club is holding its 49th Annual Gem, Mlineral and Jewelry Festival at the Concord Arena on August 25-26.

The show is open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Saturday, August 25 and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sunday.

Admission is $5 for adults and children over 12. Children 12 and under, with a parent, are admitted free - and are given a free mineral specimen.

Admission ticket stubs are drawn hourly to determine the recipients of gift certificates redeemable with vendors at the show.

Over the years, this festival has expanded from its beginnings as a small specialty event for dedicated mineral collectors to become one of the largest such shows in the Northeast.

Visitors will find an amazing variety

of treasures from the earth, some for display only, but many for purchase.

There are spectacular-looking mineral specimens and beautifully preserved small fossils, as well as unusual pieces of interest mostly to specialists. And there are plenty of geodes, a favorite of children, that when cracked open reveal remarkable crystals inside a plain-looking rock.

There are gem-quality minerals of all sorts: some virtually straight from the earth and some polished; some turned into interesting and lovely pieces of jewelry and some carved into charming mineral animals, and some turned into béautiful faceted gems.

The Capital Mineral Club is a non-profit organization dedicated to education about earth sciences, and provides scholarships and grants to students and researchers.
