Inter-Lakes girls’ winless but far from defeated

BudCom squabbling labeled ‘appalling’

GILFORD — The arguing between Budget Committee members began last night before Town Administrator Scott Dunn even had a chance to present the Board of Selectmen’s recommended $11.5-million budget for 2012.

But after the 10 minute cat-fight, it was long-standing member Phyllis Corrigan who got the best of all of them.

For about 10 minutes she sat quietly, watching, like one does at a tennis match, the members one one side of the horse-shoe shaped table, snipe at members on other side.

Then, like Cold War-era Soviet Union

Premier Nikita Kruschev banging his shoe at the U.N. General Assembly, Corrigan finally put her foot down.

“This behavior of the board is appalling,” she said looking squarely at each member.

“If we can’t behave like adults, we don’t belong in the room.” see GILFORD page 11

Mass. cat with 2 faces has lived a record 12 years

WORCESTER, Mass.

(AP) — Frank and Louie the cat was born with two faces, two mouths, two noses, three eyes — and lots of doubts about his future.

Now, 12 years after Marty Stevens rescued him from being euthanized because of his condition, the exotic blue-eyed rag doll cat is not only thriving, but has also made it into the 2012 edition of Guinness World Records as the longest-surviving member of a group known as Janus cats, named for a Roman god with two faces.

“Every day is kind of a blessing; being 12 and normal life expectancy when they have this condition is one to four days,” Stevens said, stroking Frank and Louie’s soft fur as he sat on her lap purring. “So, he’s ahead of the game; every day I just thank God I still have him.”

Frank and Louie’s breeder had taken him to the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University, where Stevens was working at the see CAT page 11

Rate on 30-year mortgage falls to record low 4.01% WASHINGTON (AP) — Fixed mortgage rates have fallen to historic new lows for a fourth straight week and are likely to fall further.

The average on a 30-year fixed mortgage fell to 4.01 percent from 4.09 percent this week, Freddie Mac said Thursday. That’s the lowest rate since the mortgage buyer began keeping records in 1971. The last time long-term rates were lower was in 1951, when most long-term home loans

lasted just 20 or 25 years.

The average on a 15-year fixed mortgage, a popular refinancing option, ticked down to 3.28 percent. Economists say that’s the lowest rate ever for the loan.

Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on the 10-year Treasury note. The 10-year yield has risen this week to around 2 percent. A week ago, it touched 1.74 percent — the lowest level since the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis started keeping

daily records in 1962. As recently as July, the 10-year yield exceeded 3 percent.

Rates on mortgages could fall further after the Federal Reserve announced last week that it would take further action to try to lower long-term rates.

Still, low rates have so far done little to boost home sales or refinancing. Many wouldbe buyers or homeowners don’t have enough cash or home equity to get a new loan. see MORTGAGE page 7

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Federal agents on Thursday raided a Boeing plant that makes military helicopters in a Philadelphia suburb and charged more than three dozen people with distributing or trying to get prescription drugs, among them powerful painkillers.

The arrests were made by the FBI and the Drug Enforcement Administration at the 5,400-employee plant in Ridley Park, where workers build aircraft including the H-47 Chinook helicopter and the V-22 Osprey. The plant is part of Boeing’s Defense, Space and Security unit.

It did not appear to be an organized drug ring, but rather a “nebulous” series of independent actors, authorities said.

“These sales placed the individual abusers, as well as society at large, at risk,” said DEA agent Vito S. Guarino.

All but one of the 37 people charged were current or former Boeing employees, U.S. Attorney Zane Memeger said at a news conference. He did not know what kind of jobs they had and said he wasn’t aware of any accidents or problems involving aircraft made by the suspects.

Indictments were unsealed charging 23

people with illegal distribution of a prescription drug, federal prosecutors said.

In addition, 14 others were charged with attempted possession of the various drugs — including the painkillers fentanyl, oxycodone and others — allegedly being sold by their co-workers. Prosecutors said all but one of those charged had been arrested, but they declined to comment on the status of the 37th.

Boeing informed authorities of their suspicions about drug activity on the property after an internal investigation, company spokesman Damien Mills said in a statement.

Analysis finds ‘white’ population growing because more Hispanics identifying themselves as such WASHINGTON (AP) — In a twist to notions of race identity, new 2010 census figures show an unexpected reason behind a renewed growth in the U.S. white population: more Hispanics listing themselves as white in the once-a-decade government count.

The shift is due to recent census changes that emphasize “Hispanic” as an ethnicity, not a race. While the U.S. government first made this distinction in 1980, many Latinos continued to use the “some other race” box to establish a Hispanic identity. In a

New generation of Red Sox fans now has tragedy of its own to relive BOSTON (AP) — “Fire away,” Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein told reporters at the start of his season-ending news conference. And then, because he’s seen how things go in Boston when a team doesn’t live up to high expectations, he added, “Not literally.”

A day after the Red Sox completed an unprecedented September collapse, Epstein told reporters at a somber and largely deserted Fenway Park on Thursday that the entire organization shared the blame for blowing a nine-game lead in 25 days and promised his full effort in figuring out what went wrong.

“The bottom line is, we failed. And our owners deserve better, the fans deserve better and we have to fix it,” Epstein said. “We’re going to take a look in the mirror and see if we’re the ones to fix it.”

The Red Sox led the AL East for much of the season and held a nine-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the wild-card race on the morning of Sept. 4. But Boston went 7-20 in September to blow the lead and miss the playoffs entirely, a collapse that wasn’t complete until closer Jonathan Papelbon blew a onerun lead with one strike to go against Baltimore on Wednesday night and the Orioles won 4-3.

Just minutes later, the Rays completed their comeback from a 7-0 deficit against the New York Yankees and clinched the wild-card berth.

“A very quiet day in Boston after a terrible, terrible month for the fans. Night after night they came, they tuned in. Rain, quiet streets,” Red Sox owner John Henry wrote on Twitter. “Congratulations to the entire Tampa Bay organization on a miraculous, but well-earned passport to the postseason.”

Henry did not respond to a request for comment, and co-owner Tom Werner said he was “still absorbing last night’s collapse.” But it was not just one night of failure that doomed this team.

The Red Sox lost their first six games and opened the season 2-10, but they went a major league-best 81-42 from then through Aug. 31 to take a comfortable lead in the playoff race. As it slowly disappeared, players insisted they would pull out of the slide in time; but Epstein and manager Terry Francona both acknowledged on Thursday that they saw signs of trouble.

“A lot of things went wrong and a lot of things had to go wrong for us to blow the lead, and they did.

But I don’t think they were completely unforeseen,” Epstein said. “The bottom line is we didn’t find a way to stop the slide.”

Francona said he called a team meeting earlier in the month in Toronto — even after a 14-0 win. He did not specify what he saw, but said “normally, as a season progresses, there’s events that make you care about each other.”

“With this team, it didn’t happen as much as I wanted it to. I was frustrated about that,” he said.

“You don’t need a team that wants to go out to dinner together. But you need a team that wants to protect each other on the field and be fiercely loyal to each other on the field.”

Those problems bubbled to the surface in September, when the Red Sox failed to win consecutive games.

Boston finished 90-72, one game behind the Rays and seven behind the archrival New York Yankees; the nine-game lead was the biggest ever held in September by a team that failed to make the playoffs.

“I think we’ll be dissecting that forever,” Epstein said.

Only a handful of players appeared in the cardboard box-filled Red Sox clubhouse on Thursday afternoon, including Jonathan Papelbon and John Lackey; they did not speak to reporters. Upstairs, Epstein told reporters everything will be evaluated over the offseason, including the front office and the coaching staff.

But Epstein said he would not make a scapegoat of Francona, who led the team to World Series championships in 2004, ending the franchise’s 86-year drought, and in 2007. The front office, owners and coaches have already begun meeting to figure out what went wrong, Epstein said, and “nobody blames what happened in September on Tito.”

“That would be totally irresponsible and shortsighted,” Epstein said. “As an organization we have to look at our successes and failures, and what happened in 2011 — we take full responsibility for it.

All of us collectively look at it as a failure. I’m the general manager, so I take more responsibility than anybody.

“But I know we don’t believe in scapegoats, particularly blaming Tito for what happened in September. We all failed collectively. We’re all together in this; we’ve got to live with that. We’re not pointing fingers at any one person in particular.”

The Red Sox reportedly have 10 days to decide whether to pick up the manager’s two-year option.

Francona said he and Epstein had already approached the topic, but declined to comment on his future.

“It’s still pretty fresh,” he said, “and pretty raw.”

Epstein said the “silver lining” of the team’s collapse was that, had the Red Sox made the playoffs, it would have been easier to overlook the shortcomings of the team that played so poorly down the stretch.

No chance of that happening now.

“When you go through what we just went through,

you can’t look past anything,” Epstein said. “We have to take a hard look at every aspect of the organization — myself included.”

Among the problems Epstein took the blame for were the decisions on some high-priced free agents.

Though he didn’t call them mistakes, Epstein acknowledged that the team needs more from both Lackey, who was 12-12 with a 6.41 ERA in the second year of a five-year, $82.5 million deal, and Carl Crawford, who signed a seven-year, $142 million deal last offseason.

“The rehabilitation of John Lackey,” Epstein said, “I think it’s a big priority, for obvious reasons.”

And the same is true of Crawford, who was at or near career lows with a .255 average, 18 stolen bases, 11 homers and 56 RBIs. “Carl has taken full and very public responsibility for having a disappointing year,” Epstein said. “The next step is, what are you going to do about it.”

GOP against government spending, except when . . .

“You saw the House act,” Rep. Eric Cantor snapped to a reporter last Friday. Yeah, act like a petulant 4-year-old!

The majority leader of the GOPcontrolled House has long been a whiney ideological brat who stamps his tiny feet in peevish anger whenever he can’t get his way on legislation. In this particular incident, Cantor tried to pretend that the House had approved more federal aid for thousands of Americans who’ve been devastated by natural disasters this summer. However, he had sabotaged his own “act” by slipping a poison pill into it.

You see, “federal aid” is a fourletter word to right-wing ideologues like Eric, so for weeks he had stalled the emergency funding that hard-hit families desperately need.

Cantor and his fellow anti-government dogmatists in the House turned a straightforward humanitarian bill into their political football, insisting that any increase in funds must first be wholly paid for by cutting spending on other public needs. His ploy has become known as the “Cantor Doctrine” — budget purity first, people’s needs last.

Actually, his this-for-that demand could’ve easily been met if Cantor had agreed to cut things America definitely does not need, such as the $4-billion-a year subsidy doled out to Big Oil. But — whoa! — in Cantorworld, oil giants are gods that shower manna from heaven on Republican campaigns, so it’s blasphemy even to think of cutting that money.

Instead, Cantor went after Big Oil’s most dreaded nemesis: companies that are making fuel-efficient and clean energy vehicles. Thus, the Cantorites decreed that there’d be no more disaster relief until the federal loan program to foster development of this green industry was slashed by $1.5-billion.

This would have been a political hat trick for the GOP extremists — striking a blow for their anti-government absolutism, doing a favor for a major campaign funder and defunding an Obama-backed program that helps him with voters.

Luckily, Cantor’s nuttiness was so extreme that a bipartisan vote by 79 senators killed his political scheme — this time.

You’d think that aid for storm victims would be beyond politics. But nothing is too far out for right-wing cultists like Cantor.

Well, you might think, at least the leaders of the tea party-infused Repub-

lican Congress are consistent in their opposition to big infusions of federal dollars into the economy, right?

Absolutely! Unless you count infusions of taxpayer funds into projects favored by corporations in their districts.

For example, a favorite target of howling Republican ridicule has been President Obama’s effort to stimulate our moribund economy by making government-backed loans to job-creating, green-energy projects. In particular, they’re presently assailing a 2009 loan guarantee of $53- million that the Obamacans awarded to the failed solar-panel maker Solyndra. This loan to a financially shaky company, they wail, is proof that green energy programs are a waste and are just about politics.

GOP Senate leader Mitch McConnell recently sputtered in a rage that “the White House fast-tracked a halfbillion dollar loan to a politically connected energy firm.”

Fair enough — the Solyndra deal does stink. However, Mitch’s tirade would’ve had a lot more moral punch if it were not for Zap Motors.

In 2009, even as the Kentucky senator was loudly deriding Obama’s original stimulus program, he was quietly making not one, but two personal appeals to Obama’s energy secretary, urging that a quarterbillion-dollar loan guarantee be awarded to Zap for a clean energy plant it wanted to build in McConnell’s state. Never mind that Zap Motors had its own shaky financial record, it was (as McConnell now says of Solyndra) “a politicallyconnected energy firm.” Connected directly to him, that is. The senator’s robust support of Zap came after the corporation hired a lobbyist with close ties to Mitch, having been a frequent financial backer of the senator’s campaigns.

The moral of this Republican morality tale is that they hate government spending, except when they love it. For them, political morality is relative — decry federal largesse loudly, but when it serves your own political needs, hug it quietly ... and tightly.

LETTERS So what? A few bad apples are always hanging around any group To the editor, On Friday, Sept. 23, James Veverka referred readers to two sites to verify his assertions in his letter. First I went to the first site and it was the Daily Sun letter he had previously written with a graph on the bottom showing, sure enough,”number of oil drilling rigs in US”. Okay but I decided to dig a little deeper. Baker-Hughes wasn’t hard to find and what was apparent after only a brief look was that there are 1,991 rigs in the U.S., though not all are active producing wells. Some are exploratory wells and others inactive. Still the count is up 341 rigs from this time last year. The colored graph Mr. Veverka referred to seems not very well to scale with the very high spike for 2011. As for active producing wells there has been a net loss of 62 rigs this year. It might also to help the readers prospective to know that the high rig count was in 1981 with 4,530 rigs and the low was in 1999 with only 488. Not sure any of this last helps or hurts either writer but just thought readers might want to know.

As for the second site supposedly showing racist Tea Party signs, I went there and, well no signs. None at all, the site was dedicated to bashing Republicans featuring a couple of Republicans critical of the gay rights movement. Sure there are some but their are also Democrats who are critical of Republicans; so what? A few bad apples are always around in any group but painting everyone, left or right, as radicals and bad doesn’t cut it. This site that readers were referred to was deeply troubling in that it could

well be called a “hate” site. It painted everyone on the right the same color without the slightest attempt at any fairness or balanced look at the issues.

Guess who’s site it was? It had James Veverka’s name on it. Kind of funny how that worked out.

Regarding the illegal immigration issue, where he says President Reagan was in favor of a solution, true. He made a deal with the Democrats at the time and then they reneged on it. So how come James left that part out do you think? As for both Bush’s slur, they wanted a solution but hey, they wanted the Democrats to pass the boarder security part first. They had learned that the other side couldn’t be trusted. Another little omission by Mr. Veverka. Oh look, a pattern emerges it seems.

Progressives are getting really antsy as the president’s numbers continue to fall along with his much esteemed opinion of European socialism. I have often in the past challenged progressives to present one example of a truly successful example of a socialist nation. So far the best they could do was Sweden and Finland. Not what I’d call much to inspire America’s with and the question remains just how long will they last with the rest of Europe in trouble?

In the absence of reasonable rational arguments to support their positions those on the far left are using smears and race-baiting verbiage trying to gain traction. People are fed up with that tactic and are tuning those people out and want to hear candidates that have real solutions.

I don’t want to be told how to relate to or think about my body To the editor, I want to commend Eric Shirley for his very intelligently written letter detailing why he supports the tea party. He articulated things I feel but am not as good at describing. I agree with his statement that he is just sick of the government trying more and more to intrude into people’s lives and micromanage everything.

The new thing I’ve noticed is these government sponsored radio ads about obesity being a treatable disease and fat people should seek treat-

be told how to relate to or think about my body just because Michelle has found a way to put her nose in other people’s business that in her mind seems justifiable. The issue of weight is very complicated and very personal and most of all, it’s the implication that I’m too stupid to know how to think about my own body, that I need them to do it for me, that I resent. No, I don’t need them to do it for me.

Stay out of my face and out of my business.

LETTERS Where does all the money go that’s paid for vanity plates?

43 NYC kids were again able to enjoy a New Hampshire summer

To the editor, It is time for the ordinary citizen to start asking the questions and demanding truthful answers from those who are in charge. For instance.

You have a vanity plate on your car. It cost you $40 for the privilege of having that plate, and as long as you have that plate, it is going to cost you the same $40 a year, after year, after year.

You already have the damn plate, so why are you having to pay that $40 over and over again. So the question is. Where is that money going year after year? In Gilford alone, there could possibly be more than 400 vanity plates making that $16K a year in revenue. Someone has deep pockets? Think about it.

While I am on the subject of where does all the money go, no one has answered the question of where does all the money go that one has to pay out for building permits? Where I live, there are around 75 units. If we all decided to put up a carport, you can just use your imagination of how many permits there would have to be, so you tell me, where does all that money go?

A few weeks ago, in the Town of Gilford, someone was leaving their job and was not going to be replaced, saving the town $90K a year. If you care to remember, I told the selectboard, not to spend that savings and save it for a rainy day. Well, that rainy day is here and I think that money is dying to be spent, so since it is burning a hole in the powers to be pockets, lets put in a crosswalk from Sargent Place to the new Hannaford’s across the street. Many seniors walk to Hannaford’s now, but it is on the same side of the street as the park, so it has been a safe walk.

While you are at it, think about how if the town put in a radar photo trap in that area, it would pay for the crosswalk just by bagging the speeders

To the editor, This year, 43 New York City children found out once again just how special summer is in North Central New Hampshire. Fresh Air Fund hosts, volunteers and local supporters dedicated their time and efforts to help these inner-city youngsters experience simple summertime pleasures, including afternoons of swimming, fishing at sunset and roasting s’mores over a campfire.

None of this would be possible without Lisa Bladecki, your local Fresh Air Fund volunteer leader, who works throughout the year to make sure host families and children have the opportunity to enjoy memorable sum-

who think they are NASCAR drivers trying to beat the light at the entrance to Shaw’s. Of course, it would help greatly if those lights were synchronized and not backing traffic up as far as the bypass in the summer. Under no circumstances should a cop be out there directing traffic when correcting the lights would solve the problem.

Once again, it is time to take your hat off and go up the hill to the local CAP office where you have been asked to pay taxes to support the low income families. They just forgot to tell you the low income families were not your friends and neighbors that have paid into the system all their working lives and now cannot have the help they need because too many people in funny clothes who were sponsored by the churches were now the responsibility of American taxpayers. Like they say, it isn’t how much money has to go out to pay your medical, it is how much you brought in that make you ineligible. Something is wrong with this scenario. The government spends more than it brings in, and keeps on spending like a drunken sailor and no one questions it. In fact they keep giving themselves raises like the well is never going to dry up. Who among you is brave enough to take the plunge and start screaming NO! NO! NO! to all this nonsense?

Lastly. Can someone tell me why we are spending money to rebuild other countries to the tune of billions a year, when we can’t even rebuild ourselves?

These countries do not give a crap about Americans and it is time to shut off the spigot. The well is dry. And, why are we sending money to other countries when they are coming here in droves. We could just keep what we are giving away and apply it to the needs in this country.

mertime experiences together. I invite you to join Lisa Bladecki and the local Fresh Air Fund committee to help spread the word about the wonderful opportunity of hosting next summer.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7-million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on how you can help to continue this wonderful tradition of volunteering, please call Lisa Bladecki at 387-1870 or visit www.freshair.org.

Hempel’s Celebrate 50th Anniversary Paul (Joe) and Margaret (Meg) Hempel of Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire are celebrating 50 years of marriage today.

They were married on September 30, 1961 in a civil ceremony in Laconia, New Hampshire.

Mr. and Mrs. Hempel have three children: Paul J. Hempel, III and wife Robin of Gilmanton Iron Works; Kristina H. DuBois of Gilmanton Iron Works; and Jennifer H. Bailey and husband Shawn of Laconia New Hampshire.

They have eight grandchildren: Corrie, Meghann, Joey, and Martha Hempel; Ashley and Alexis DuBois; and Emily and Sam Johansson.

They have one great- grandchild Taylor Solomon-Hempel.

Mr. and Mrs. Hempel are residents of Gilmanton Iron Works. They have lived in the community since 1972, when they moved into their home at Skoal Farm.

A private family celebration was held for the couple on September 24, 2011. The bride’s cousin, Jim Stearns, made a surprise visit from his home in Falls Church, Virginia.

On this very special occasion, the children of Joe and Meg Hempel would like to congratulate them on their 50th Wedding Anniversary.

To the editor, I found Professor Craft‘s article concerning Governor Perry’s attitude about the courts very interesting. While I don’t agree with Gov. Perry, I have a few comments about what the professor wrote. The professor cited an example of a court decision (he) progressives didn’t like. He said the courts don’t “legislate,” and the Executive Branch “enforced” the Court’s decisions. Ahh, if that were only true. . .

I think the failing of our founders was not in what they did, or what they wrote into the Declaration of Independence, or into the Constitution, it was in their expectation that politics would not become a “profession” but that citizens would give of themselves to do their civic duty and then return back to their homes and jobs. The failing we have today is that professional congressional politicians often will “pass the buck” and let issues that should undergo the rigor of legislative debate, be handed off to the courts for their decisions. The most notable example of this is the Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade. The court found some hitherto unknown “right of privacy” in the fourteenth amendment that gave women the “right” to have an abortion. However, the fourteenth amendment clearly states that no state can deprive any person life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Even current Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who had previously served as legal counsel for the ACLU, has stated that Roe v.

Wade should never have been brought

before the courts, it was an issue that should have been legislated. So is the issue one of a “bad” court decision or is it the abrogation of responsibility by the legislative branch?

As Professor Cracraft pointed out, under the Constitution, it is the responsibility of the Executive Branch to enforce decisions of the court. This is a most serious issue, as the court itself does not have the power to enforce what it deems to be a constitutional right. When the Executive Branch gets to decide which laws or which court decisions it will or will not enforce, we have the makings of a dictatorship; court decisions only being enforced if the Executive Branch (the president) agrees with them.

An example of this is the Executive Branch (Dept. of Justice) decision to not enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, which was passed and signed into law during the Clinton Administration. So, is this an issue that should catch the attention of Congress and the courts? Or have our “professional” politicians decided to serve their current self interests once again?

Finally, Professor Cracraft commented about Gov. Perry’s “. . . pandering to religious fanatics”. That crude characterization is not worthy of one who teaches our children. As I said to another professor, you cannot prove that God doesn’t exist, any more than I can provide proof that He does . . . it’s a matter of faith. Deciding that there is no God puts your faith in “nothing”.

St. Vincint de Paul Thrift Store volunteers excited to be voted #1 To the editor, On behalf of the St. Vincent de Paul volunteers, I want to thank the “voters” of the Lakes Region who named the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store #1 in the Lakes Region in the Citizen’s “Best of the Lakes Region” contest. All of our volunteers were very excited that their hard work was recognized by the poll.

Our summer was very busy with large numbers of donated items and a very high sales volume. A great big “thank you” to all who donated clothing, furniture, household items and funds to aid our mission. All of this goes to support our various programs in this time of economic distress and high unemployment. While the revenue from the sales of these items support our financial assistance program and food pantry, we also gave away approximately $10,000 of clothing and furniture, including the victims of

fires and flooding.

Our food pantry has also been very busy in 2011 as well, giving away about 170,000 meals worth more than $430,000 to over 3,000 families and 8,000 individuals in the Lakes Region.

The Fall season also marks an especially busy time of year for our Children’s Foundation and their annual Project Pencil. This program supported our returning students with over 700 new back packs and school supplies.

We are very pleased to be a part of our great community that does so much for those who are in need. We pride ourselves on our ability to be part of this great effort with all unpaid volunteers and that all of our assistance remains local to folks in the Lakes Region. We thank everyone who has supported us in this effort throughout our last 21 years of service!

Thank you sponsors for a very successful Harvest Festival event To the editor, Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center (PFEEC) held its 2nd Annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, September 17. About 900 came and celebrated harvest time at the farm!

Horse-drawn hayrides, face painting, and barn dancing were just a few festivities that attendees were able to enjoy that day.

We would like to thank all that were able to make it, volunteered, donated and sponsored the event. Main spon-

sors included Meredith Village Savings Bank, Pike Industries and The Inn & Spa at Mill Falls. Without the support from local organizations and our Board, this event would not be possible.

MORTGAGE from page one High unemployment, scant wage gains and debt loads represent a heavy burden for many people. Others can’t qualify. Banks are insisting on higher credit scores and 20 percent down payments for first-time buyers.

This year is shaping up to be among the worst for sales of previously occupied homes in 14 years. Few are buying, even though the average rate on the 30-year fixed mortgage has fallen to around 4 percent.

A drop in mortgage rates could provide some help to the economy if more people could refinance. When people refinance at lower rates, they pay less interest on their loans and have more money to spend.

Consider a homeowner who owes $250,000 and is paying 5.09 percent on a 30-year fixed mortgage. That was the average rate being offered in January 2010. Refinancing the loan at 4.01 percent could save him or her roughly $2,000 a year.

But many homeowners with good

jobs and stable finances have already refinanced over the past year as rates have fallen. The average rate on the 30-year loan fell to new lows in November, August and again this month.

Homeowners also typically pay a few thousand dollars in closing costs when they refinance. And the low rates being offered don’t include extra fees, which many borrowers must pay to get the rates. Those fees are known as points; one point equals 1 percent of the loan amount.

The average fee for the 30-year held steady at 0.7; for the 15-year, it rose to 0.7. The average fee for both the five-year and one-year adjustable-rate loans was unchanged at 0.6 point.

To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country Monday through Wednesday of each week.

The average rate on a five-year adjustable-rate mortgage was unchanged at 3.02 percent. The average for the one-year adjustable-rate mortgage ticked up to 2.83 percent.

Deli owners hosting Saturday street party to celebrate 4 years of good business & their love for each other

By AdAm drApcho THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Four years ago, Elisa and Drew Seneca took two large steps in their lives – they got married, and two weeks later – Oct. 1, 2007 – they took ownership of the Downtown Deli. Both of those arrangements are still thriving. To celebrate their success, and to thank those whose support has kept them in business, the Senecas will throw a street party on Saturday, from 1 to 7 p.m.

The city will close the section of Pleasant Street in front of the Deli, which will allow the Senecas to set up a stage on the sidewalk, from which three local bands will play. In between their acts, local artist and magician Larry Frates will perform, entertain and demonstrate his speed-painting technique.

As part of the festivities, the deli will feature its three most popular sandwich specials – the B.L.T. Wrap, the Thankful Bird and the Raging Roast Beef – at reduced prices. Those who purchase a sandwich will receive a raffle ticket good for a chance to win a free sandwich. Drew also plans to hold a drawing for gift certificates for other downtown businesses.

The party marks four years of the Senecas’ new life together. They met while both were working at The Lodge at Belmont. Several months later, they became romantically involved, and after a six-month courtship they became engaged.

Not only were they looking for marriage, they were both also looking for a change in lifestyle. Meanwhile, Vera Green, then-owner of the Downtown Deli, was also looking to transition out of the sandwich business. She made them the proverbial “offer we couldn’t refuse,” said Drew, and he and Elisa decided they wanted to be legally united before they signed the paperwork to buy the business.

“We love Laconia, we think we’ve got the best spot in Laconia,” said Drew. Nine-tenths of their business, he noted is from patrons who walk in after working see next page

TULIPS from page one be planted about six inches deep into the soil so that they won’t be briught to the surface by winter frosts.

He says that Ginger Wells-Kay of Garden Artisans LLC arranged for the purchase of the bulbs and that Belknap Landscaping Company, which earlier this year completed an extensive renovation of Stewart Park, will be on hand to help out with planting instructions.

Dale Squires of Belknap Landscaping says that the company will set up a tent where coffee will be served starting at 9:30 a.m..

“We’ve got maps showing where the undergroud sprinkler systems lines are so that people helping out will know where the bulbs can be planted safely,” says Squires.

He said that a number of invitations have been extended to local organizations to help take part in the project, including the Gilford High School Environmental Club, Laconia High School organizations, the Winnisquam Regional Agricultural Education Center, the New Hampshire Lakes Association, the New Hampshire Landscape Association and the Lakes Region Builders Association.

At this week’s Laconia Rotary Club meeting Diane LaBrie, club president, called on members to show up with trowels and to bring along their friends to help in the planting or to simply cheer on those who are doing the planting.

Clement said that while the club has already paid for the bulbs, donations are welcome to help pay the costs.

“We don’t want any donations larger than $100.

Even a dollar helps. The idea is that it’s a community project and that small donations from a lot of people will best show that,’’ says Clement.

He noted that the Rotary has invested thousands of volunteer hours and thousands of dollars in creat-

ing Rotary Park, which is located across the Winnipesaukee River. The club built a bandstand in there in 1996 and subsequently raised $60,000 for the $210,000 park project, with the rest of the funding coming in the form of donations.

This spring Stewart Park was completely renovated

by Bellknap Landscaping in a project which included new 8-foot, multi-use walkways, comfortable strategically placed seating, planting beds full of native plant selections, restored turf and pruned trees.

The Senecas are devoted downtown merchants.

Elisa’s mother runs Affordable Alterations in the neighboring storefront. They see the downtown as a changing landscape that is on its way to another renaissance. “We can get this place cooking again – We’ve gotta beautiful little city,” Drew said.

Looking back, Drew noted that they’ve endured some trying economic times during their young careers as deli owners, conditions which have sunk many other businesses. “That’s why we thought the four year anniversary is a pretty big anniversary,” he said.

Though their new lifestyle comes with “more worries” than when they were each earning a dependable salary, Drew said, “I think we both still very much love what we do, we’re both still enamored of the fact that it’s ours.”

HISPANICS from page 2 Americans as tallied by the census, even though there was little change among non-Hispanic whites. In all, the number of people in the “white alone” category jumped by 12.1 million over the last decade to 223.6 million. Based on that definition, whites now represent 72 percent of the U.S. population and account for nearly half of the total population increase since 2000.

Broken down by state, California and Texas were home to nearly half of Hispanics who identified as white, followed by Florida and New York. Together, these four states comprised nearly two-thirds of the “white alone” population who were Hispanic. Overall, Hialeah, Fla.; Fargo, N.D.; Arvada, Colo.; Billings, Mont., and Scottsdale, Ariz., posted the highest shares in the “white alone” category, at roughly 90 percent or more.

“The white population has become more diverse as evidenced by the growth of the Hispanic white population and the multiple-race white population,” including black-white and white-Asian people, according to the 2010 census analysis released Thursday.

Some demographers say the broadened white category in 2010 could lead to a notable semantic if not cultural shift in defining race and ethnicity. Due to the impact of Hispanics, the nation’s fastest-growing group, the Census Bureau has previously estimated that whites will become the minority in the U.S. by midcentury. That is based on a definition of whites as non-Hispanic, who are now at 196.8 million.

That could change, if the common conception of white were to shift.

“What’s white in America in 1910, 2010 or even 2011 simply isn’t the same,” said Robert Lang, sociology professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, citing the many different groups of European immigrants in the early 20th century who later became known collectively as white. He notes today that could mean a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant in upstate New York or Jews and Italians in the lowest East side of Manhattan.

Predicting a similar shift for Hispanics, Lang and others noted that mixed marriages are now more common between whites and Hispanics. U.S.-born Latino children of immigrants also are more likely than their parents to identify as white. “The definition of white has always been expansive,” he said. “I could see the census in 2030 or 2040 dropping the differentiation between Hispanics and whites.”

Roderick Harrison, a Howard University sociologist and former chief of racial statistics at the Census Bureau, agreed that growing numbers of second- and third-generation Hispanics may lose some of their cultural identity as they become more assimilated in the U.S. “Some portion might indeed become, for most social purposes, ‘white,’” he said.

The latest census figures also show the number of Americans who identified themselves as partly black and partly white more than doubled to 1.8 million. For the first time, the black-white combination is the most prevalent group among multiracial Americans, making up 1 in 5 members of that subgroup. They exceed the number of multiracials who identified as being white and “some other race,” composed of mostly Hispanics, as well as white-Asians and white-American Indians.

SOCCER from page one they’ve got a good chance tonight to put a mark in their win column. The game begins at 4:30 p.m.

Though the measure of success for most teams is through victories versus losses, the Inter-Lakes team has earned the respect and admiration of at least one fan, School Board Member Carol Baggaley, who at a meeting on Tuesday gave the board an impassioned description of the team’s spirit and sportsmanship during a period when it might be tempting to adopt a negative attitude.

“If you want to know what it means to be a Laker, look at them,” she said.

Coach Steve Jordan, observing his team as they practice in preparation for tonight’s match, agreed that the team remains motivated and focused.

“They’re all here because they want to be here,” he said, noting that they show up to practice ready to work and they start each game ready to compete.

Statistics for this season’s performances aren’t very pretty. The Lakers have scored two goals over 10 games, while allowing 46 to be scored against them. However, insists senior and captain Ally Brown, “We played a lot better than those scores.”

In one game, Brown said, the score was 1 to 1 for nearly the whole game, until in the final minutes the referee awarded what she felt was a dubious penalty kick for the opposing team. In another game, against Newport, the Lakers held their opponent to a nil-nil tie through two overtime periods. She felt they could have beaten Moultonborough in their last

Jordan is the third head coach the team has had in four years. Of the 20 players on the varsity roster, nine are freshman, and because opposing schools often have a junior varsity team, those freshman are called upon to line up across girls three or four years older.

Brown doesn’t let that discourage her, though.

Rather, she’s proud of her teammates for having the temerity to take the field against older, more experienced teams. “All the girls love soccer. We’re not accepting losing, we’re not going to let that hold us back from trying next time,” she said. “If we lose a game, we put it behind us and we’re back at practice and working hard... I’m very proud of our team.”

It’s been “tough,” Brown admitted, to play for four years without a victory celebration. However, she said she knew after the first week of pre-season practice that the team was on an upward trend. The incoming freshmen were talented and willing to work, and the members all got along and supported one another. In three or four years, she predicted, the team will be a force.

Jordan agreed with Brown’s prediction, especially considering all the varsity-level playing time that the team’s freshmen are enjoying. To prevent them from being discouraged, he encourages his players to set minor goals for themselves, such as successfully containing the opposing player they’re assigned to, or executing two give-and-go plays in a game. “They’re coming out here and trying their hardest. We tell them that we expect them to learn and have fun.” If he can keep them motivated and learning, they’ll grow stronger in time for next year.

Still, Brown hopes not to have to wait that long to taste a win. “If we win, I will cry so hard because I will be so happy. I want to win,” she said.

GILFORD from page one

Murphy, when asked, declined to withdraw his motion and the committee voted it down. Leandro and David Horvath Sr. joined him in the nays.

That settled, Dunn gave everyone the news.

The selectman’s proposed budget is $11.5-million, down 1.5-percent from this year.

To reach the bottom line, Dunn said three full time positions, one each from the police, fire and public works departments, and one half-time position in the planning office will have to be cut.

“I don’t want anyone to think there won’t be consequences,” he said adding he hopes the committee doesn’t make any further reductions. “Town services will suffer.”

“With that in mind, I wish you all the best,” he said.

It’s been reported that the Police Department will not replace the deputy chief, the Fire Department will restructure in the wake of former chief John Beland’s retirement, and the public works department will also restructure because former operations manager Dustin Muzzey took a job with the county.

What’s new is that the position of the planning assistant, will be cut in half and benefits will be eliminated.

It was just three weeks ago that selectmen rescinded their decision to eliminate the planning assistant position as of September 1 when a standing-room only contingent of zoning and conservation committee members objected to the move.

The budget subcommittee meetings begin on Monday with a closer look at the proposed budget for administration. The next full Budget Committee meeting is Thursday in Town Hall at 6:30 p.m. Popcorn will not be served.

CAT from page 2 time, to be euthanized when he was just a day old.

Stevens offered to take him home, but experts told her not to get her hopes up.

Janus cats almost never survive, and most have congenital defects, including a cleft palate that makes it difficult for them to nurse and often causes them to slowly starve or get milk in their lungs and die of pneumonia. The condition is the result of a genetic defect that triggers excessive production of a certain kind of protein. But Frank and Louie did not suffer from most of the common Janus problems.

Stevens used feeding tubes to nourish him for three months, hoping that would also save him from the danger of choking on food going down two mouths.

It turned out she didn’t have to worry about him choking, because Frank and Louie used just one of his mouths to eat.

“The condition itself is very rare, and I think that the fact that this cat became an adult, a healthy adult, is remarkable,” said Dr. Armelle deLaforcade, an associate professor at Cummings and head of the emergency services section.

Colleagues at the veterinary hospital told Stevens that trying to raise Frank and Louie might not be good for him — or her.

Still, she “stood firm and stood by the cat, and I’m really glad she did because this cat really has fewer problems than many cats that have very normal anatomies,” deLaforcade said.

The reality-like T.V. show began when Skip Murphy, his video camera at the ready to get it all on tape, made a motion to ask anyone on the committee with a financial interest or an interest in the budget he or she represents to recuse themselves from voting on that issue.

Gus Benavides seconded it for discussion.

Kevin Leandro started by saying, as a subcontractor, he has a financial conflict with the roads and streets budget.

Dale Dormody said everyone in town knows his wife is the library director and, while he would not vote and never has voted on anything to do with her salary, he has been elected twice, despite what some see as a conflict, and would continue to vote on the bottom line library budget.

Rae Mello-Andrews of the School Board said she would not vote on the Fire Department budget, she is an EMT, but rejected out of hand that she would recuse herself from voting on the school budget because she’s on the school board.

“I can have a vote and I should have a vote,” she said.

As to whether or not the two members of the Budget Committee who signed on to a motion to have a Belknap County Superior Court judge rule on whether or not the School District should have a superintendent, Dormody said he really thinks that’s one for the voters to decide at the polls.

When Kevin Roy and Leandro started bickering about whether or not Roy should vote on the school budget (his wife is an elementary school teacher), Chair Dick Hickok tried to put an end to it but it was finally Corrigan who returned some civility to the room.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO REVIEW AND APPROVE THE PROPOSED SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS In accordance with RSA 675:6 & 7, the Planning Board will hold a public hearing on October 13, 2011, beginning at 7:00 pm in the Academy Building Conference Room on the adoption of the amended subdivision regulations.

Bodyguard testifies Jackson’s doc told him to get Rx vials out of sight before calling 911 LOS ANGELES (AP) — One of Michael Jackson’s bodyguards had barely stepped into the singer’s bedroom when he heard a scream.

“Daddy!” Jackson’s young daughter cried. A few feet away, the singer lay motionless in his bed, eyes slightly open. His personal doctor, Conrad Murray, was trying to revive him when he saw that Jackson’s eldest children were watching.

“Don’t let them see their dad like this,” Murray said, the first of many orders that bodyguard Alberto Alvarez testified Thursday that he heeded in the moments before paramedics arrived at Jackson’s home in June 2009.

What happened next — after Alvarez said he ushered Jackson’s eldest son and daughter from the room — is one of the key pieces of prosecutors’ involuntary manslaughter case against Murray.

According to Alvarez, Murray scooped up vials of medicine from Jackson’s nightstand and told the bodyguard to put them away. “He

said, ‘Here, put these in a bag,’” Alvarez said.

Alvarez complied. He placed an IV bag into another bag, and then Murray told him to call 911, Alvarez said On the third day of the trial, prosecutors tried to show that Murray, who has pleaded not guilty, delayed calling authorities and that he was intent on concealing signs that he had been giving the singer doses of the anesthetic propofol.

Alvarez said he thought Murray might be preparing to take the items to the hospital, but didn’t question him.

The bags never made it to the hospital, and prosecutors claim Murray repeatedly lied to emergency personnel and did not tell them he had been giving Jackson doses of the drug as a sleep aid.

If convicted, Murray, 58, could face up to four years in prison and lose his medical license.

REGION from page one ties of Belknap County and 22 others in Grafton and Carroll counties.

Between 2000 and 2010 the population grew from 123,288 to 132,169, or by 7.2-percent, more than the pace of 6.5-percent set by the state.

While the population of the entire state is aging, the Lakes Region is aging at a relatively faster pace. The number of those younger than 18 shrank 8.7-percent, from 29,214 to 26,662, the third highest percentage decrease among the nine regions, to represent a fifth of the regional population, nearly even with regions to the north and less than regions to the south.

The average age of the population reached 45.6 years, about a year above the median age for the state and the number aged 65 and older amounts to 16.6-percent of the population, a share exceeded only by the two northernmost regions — the Great North Woods and White Mountains.

Weekly wages of $681.47 and adjusted gross income (per taxpayer) of $52,897 in the Lakes Region are

20-percent and 11-percent below the state average respectively and above those only of the two northern regions.

Likewise, the 10-percent poverty rate is the third highest among the regions, exceeded only by the two regions to the north. And, only the Great North Woods and White Mountains, have a smaller portion of college graduates than the 26-percent of the Lakes Region’s population.

Despite the similarities with its northern neighbors, the Lakes Region differs in one significant respect by have the fourth highest property values, measured by dollars per acre, among the nine regions. But, the gap between the $28,886 per acre in the Lakes Region and the $82,219 in the Seacoast, which ranks behind Manchester and Nashua, merely highlights the disparity between the southern and northern parts of the state. The relatively high property values reflect the number of seasonal properties, which represent 29-percent of the of the housing inventory in the Lakes Region.

OBITUARIES

Henrietta I. Miller, 87

HOLDERNESS — Henrietta Ida Miller (aka Hank or Henny), 87 of Holderness, died Tuesday, September 27, 2011, surrounded by family at the home of her daughter after a period of failing health.

She was born in Laconia, the eleventh child of the late Marie and Albert Simoneau. A graduate of Plymouth Regional High School, Henny appreciated the academics, but really just showed up so that she could play basketball.

Starting out as a waitress in her father’s restaurant when she was a teenager, she quickly learned the trade. During her 55 years in the industry she became known as the best waitress, definitely in Plymouth, probably the world.

The only thing that Henrietta loved as much as her family was the Red Soxs, Andre Agassi, and any Plymouth State University sporting event - GO PANTHERS! She was a skilled bowler, could beat anyone at a hand of cribbage, and was considered a competitive slot machine gambler.

Her favorite Plymouth past-times included sitting in ‘the common’ with her siblings, playing Bingo,

and lunching with her friends at the Senior Center.

She was predeceased by the late great, Brandon George Miller, whom she was married to for 57 years.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). This day will feel like a whole week because its intensity is so turned up. You’ll pack twice as many people and activities into the space of 24 hours, so the day will be broken up into short bursts of your attention.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life will likely improve later, and yet it would be a shame to waste the moment anticipating better days when you could be engaged in the perfectly lovely circumstance happening right now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will help you to understand your rights and powers. For instance, without the support of customers, a business will fail. As a paying customer, you have certain rights that you should know and defend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Each person projects his or her own story onto the situation at hand. Therefore, you can safely assume that however people are reacting to you, it is not personal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You sometimes assume that what you know is common knowledge, but it really isn’t. That is why it’s important that you teach the people around you, especially if those people happen to be your children.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 30).

You’ll fix a less than ideal part of your life, and your birthday is like the shot that starts the race. Pace yourself, though -- the journey will be long, satisfying and productive provided you stay on course. Sweet nothings in your ear in October develop into life-changing decisions and relationships. Sagittarius and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 49, 2, 14, 33 and 18.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Winning begets winning. Regardless of your starting position, you can create an excellent end result if you stay focused on what’s going right instead of on what’s going wrong.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t have to push yourself to share with others, because your contributions flow effortlessly from you. It brings you such great pleasure to give that you are becoming well known for your generosity.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t forget about that whim you had last week. It is still a good idea, and it is worth investigating further, if not following through to the exciting end.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will do your part to protect, preserve, restore and manage your household. If everyone takes on as much responsibility as you do, your home life will be in tiptop shape.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll enjoy your time with loved ones. You’ve been rushing around so much that you may feel that you haven’t really seen them.

Today’s slower pace will give you a chance to openly gaze in appreciation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Today your tidbits come in the form of information and entertainment and won’t cost you much money to pick up and share. You are constantly combing the scene for something your loved ones would like.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love isn’t going to sneak into your heart and surprise you, and you won’t suddenly discover love. Love is a state that you will co-create with another person. An interesting development happens in a relationship.

world’s rich and poor. The speakers hope to inspire audiences to think about the various forms of poverty that plague societies around the world, while sharing concrete solutions.

Bigney asks what a laid-off sawmill worker from northern New England and a displaced corn farmer emigrating from El Salvador have in common? She responds that they are refugees of corporate globalization, and specifically of free trade policies like NAFTA and CAFTA, and says that “sharing stories of the lives of survivors of free trade and a corporate war economy helps build a movement of people committed to working together for a democratic and just economy.”

The Maine Fair Trade Campaign (MFTC) is a coalition of 61 labor, environmental, human rights and family farm organizations working to change the rules of the global economy through international trade policy. MFTC organizes nontraditional allies to combat corporate globalization and build a sustainable economy that values workers rights and

the environment.

Bigney travels throughout Maine, meeting with laid-off workers, primarily from the forest products industry, to add their stories to the public discourse on trade.

A reception and light refreshments follow each program. Free tickets are available at the Silver Center Box Office, 535-2787 or (800) 779-3869.

The next speaker in the series will be Judy Taylor, an artist whose commissioned mural was removed from the Maine Department of Labor by the governor for depicting Maine’s labor history, including strikes. Taylor will speak at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 24.

The Saul O Sidore Lecture Series was established at PSU in 1979 to bring a variety of speakers to the University each year to address the critical political, social and cultural issues and events of our time. All Sidore Lectures take place at 7 p.m. in the Smith Recital Hall at the Silver Center. For information contact Professor Mark Fischler, mjfischler@plymouth.edu or log on to Plymouth.edu/Sidore.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I am a 67-year-old woman who has been deeply hurt. My husband died seven years ago, and I suffered deep depression. My psychiatrist told me to meet new people, so I did. I joined an expensive dating service, which was a disaster. Then I went to dinner with a girlfriend in an upscale nightclub. A good-looking fellow asked me to dance, and we clicked immediately. He was charming, adorable and could dance. I was smitten.

Over the next two years, we traveled extensively, cooked together, went to the beach and had a lot in common. My family embraced him and was so happy for me. There were a few concerns, but they didn’t seem important. He told me he’d been addicted to alcohol and tobacco, but stopped using both 30 years ago.

Three weeks ago, he brought marijuana to my home and proceeded to smoke. I was appalled and told him to never bring it into my house again. He then proceeded to sneak it in the bathroom. He refused to quit and said if I want to see him, I’d have to go to his place. (His house is a wreck, and there is no place for me to sit.)

We had an argument, and I haven’t heard from him since.

I am shocked that the man I loved is an addict. I will never accept having a pot smoker in my life. He claims he didn’t lie about it, but I consider this a lie by omission. How could he do this after all our time together? -- Hurt in Connecticut Dear Hurt: There were probably signs during your two years together, but people in love are prone to overlook red flags, especially if they are unfamiliar with the markings.

We don’t doubt that this man enjoyed your company, but his addiction comes first, and he isn’t willing to give it up for you. We know you are hurting, but please know you also are lucky to have missed this train.

Dear Annie: I am an amateur writer and publisher of a minority newspaper. It circulates all over the U.S., so I am becoming rather famous in my ethnic community.

I often receive unsolicited newly published books in my native language. The authors ask me to write some words of praise for the book. Whenever possible, I give them the positive comments I feel they deserve.

My question is, how do I respond if the book is not well written? Do I tell the author my true feelings or give no reply at all? I know how to respond in my culture, but since I have been living in the U.S., I think I should do “as in Rome.” Please help. -- Cultural Stranger Dear Stranger: You can respond with kind words that are not exactly praise (“You have clearly worked hard on this” or “I wish you the best of luck”), or you can tell the writer that you are too inundated with material to read everything, so sorry. However, although you are “in Rome,” the people who write to you expect you to respond according to your own cultural norms, so you might want to reconsider.

Dear Annie: This is for “No Pets, Please,” whose friends and relatives insist on bringing their pets to her home.

She should not worry for one second about saying the dogs are not welcome. I am an officer in a breed club and have raised and shown dogs for years. Dogs are welcome in my home, but if they are staying overnight, I request a crate and do the same with my dogs when I visit elsewhere.

Every one of my dogs is a four-footed child, but it would never occur to me to bring a dog to someone’s home unless told he was invited. Part of being a responsible dog owner is recognizing that not everyone is as nuts as we are.

-- Owner, Handler

Unique exhibit of photos and paintings inspired by Haiti opens next week LACONIA — Elaine Morrison and Dick Smith went to Haiti after the earthquake of 2010 with a relief agency, Fish Farm Haiti. Their mission was focused on education, health care, supporting an orphanage, and raising fish for food as a natural resource for people.

During the month of October, they will display a unique show which features their art work and photography at the Busiel Room and Gallery. An open house will take place on Friday, October 7, from 5-8 p.m.

The Busiel Mill Community Room and Gallery is located on the bottom floor of the Busiel Mill, between the historic Belknap Mill and Laconia City Hall.

Listed in the United States Register of Historic Buildings the Busiel Mill was built in 1853 as a hosiery mill and was later used for the manufacture of clocks, electronic relays, and organs. In the height of Laconia urban renewal in the late 1960’s, both the Busiel Mill and its older sister, The Belknap Mill, were threatened by the
