‘Brook plans to expand pavilion over 2,800 new seats By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — The owners of Meadowbrook U.S. Cellular Pavilion are looking to grow their operation by expanding the existing covered seating area to accommodate an additional 2,336 patrons and add 182 parking spaces. The Plan-
ning Board will review the proposal at its Monday, Sept. 17 meeting that beings a 7 p.m. in Gilford Town Hall. According to plans drawn by Steven Smith & Associates and submitted to the Gilford Planning Department on August 30, the performing arts centers also plans on reducing the amount of
lawn seating available by 836. If approved by the Planning Board, the total capacity for the U.S. Cellular Meadowbrook Pavilion will go from 6,000 to 7,500 and increase the number of parking spaces to 2,025. “The expansion is necessary not only to accommodate the shows being booked at the facil-
ity but also to allow Meadowbrook Farm, LLC to compete with other similar facilities located within their market area,” reads the proposal. Drawings show the expanded under cover seating will extend straight back from the end of the pavilion now furthest see MEadOWBrOOK page 14

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A dismal new snapshot of jobs in America shadowed the presidential campaign on Friday, testing the voter patience that will save or sink President Barack Obama’s re-election bid. Seizing on the timing, Republican Mitt Romney said Obama’s convention party had given way to quite a “hangover.” Employers added just 96,000 jobs in August, not nearly enough to seriously dent unemployment, let alone inspire confidence that the economy is getting better. Even the good news — the unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.1 percent — resulted from many job-hunters just giving up. “We’re going in the wrong direction,” Romney declared, a view echoed by a majority of Americans still reeling from a massive recession. Obama put the emphasis on a trend
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Jonathan Vilma, Scott Fujita and Will Smith are back in the NFL. For now. The suspensions of those players, plus unsigned free agent Anthony Hargrove, for their roles in New Orleans’ pay-for-pain bounty scandal were lifted Friday by a three-member appeals panel. The league reinstated them all a few minutes later. The Saints’ Smith and Fujita, now with the Cleveland Browns, probably will play

showing employers have added jobs for 30 months in a row now. He did so with a nod to public frustration. “We know it’s not good enough,” Obama said, dealing with the downbeat news mere hours after his confetti-flying Democratic National Convention. “We need to create more jobs, faster.” With 60 frenetic days left until the election, the economic report was not grim enough to alter the political narrative of a consistently tight race. Yet the attention it commanded eroded any hope of a postconvention boost for Obama. Instead, it underlined his point that economic recovery will not be “quick or easy.” No president has won re-election with unemployment over 8 percent since Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Obama has embraced that Great Depression comparison, hoping to show why he and the nation need more time.
in Sunday’s season openers. Vilma can at least rejoin teammates and coaches in New Orleans — and get paid — even if the linebacker is not yet ready to play because of knee problems. And Hargrove can start talking to NFL teams about giving him another shot, after he was cut by the Green Bay Packers. Still, there’s no telling how long the reprieve will last.

ruling is a setback for Commissioner Roger Goodell and the league. But while the decision allows the players to rejoin their teams, it does not permanently void their suspensions. NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Goodell would “make an expedited determination of the discipline imposed” for violating the league’s bounty rule. “Until that determination is made, the four players are reinstated and eligible to see NFL page 5

Their conventions behind them and their debates just ahead, Obama and Romney sprinted into the next phase of campaign, targeting eight or so toss-up states. The two men headed the same way Friday, appearing in Iowa and New Hampshire, two states with small but potentially decisive electoral prizes. The economy has added just 139,000 jobs a month this year, a slower pace than last year. It takes roughly 200,000 jobs a month to shrink unemployment. In perspective, the economy was bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs when Obama took office, but that does not comfort the jobless today. The new results only sharpened the competing and defining storylines of the election. Romney says the poor pace of job growth demands that Obama be thrown out of office, while the incumbent implores see JOBS page 15

PORTSMOUTH (AP) — New Hampshire basked in attention from both presidential campaigns Friday, with thousands turning out to see President Barack Obama in Portsmouth and more headed to Nashua in the evening for a Mitt Romney rally. “I’m sure they liked North Carolina, but we know they love New Hampshire,” Gov. John Lynch said in introducing Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, who made the outdoor history museum their first stop after wrapping up the Democratic National Convention on Thursday night in Charlotte. “New Hampshire is a key to the re-election of the president and vice president. We will again show the nation that New Hampshire knows how to pick presidents.” Speaking to about 6,000 people at Strawbery Banke, Obama said it was “not good enough” that private employers created just 96,000 jobs last month but said it will take a

Some Laconia residents will now be voting in Ward 3 who’ve always voted in Ward 1 LACONIA — As a result of the redistricting of electoral districts, the boundary between Ward 1 and Ward 3 were changed. Some residents, who since 2002 have voted in Ward 1, will now vote in Ward 3 in all elections, beginning with the primary election on Tuesday, September 11. Those now voting in Ward 3 are all the residents of Bell Hill Drive and Folsom Street, residents of the
oddly numbered side of Lewis Street and the evenly numbered side of Old North Main Street, residents of numbers 898 through 984 and numbers 967 through 1035 North Main Street and residents of numbers 355 through 421 Pleasant Street. The Ward 3 polling station is at the Laconia Middle School. Questions may be addressed to City Clerk Mary Reynolds at 527-1265.
from preceding page cuts Republicans made to the state budget over the past two years, Hassan highlighted her willingness “to consider” licensing a single “highend” casino that would add to the state’s bank account to the tune of $60 to $80-million. She also advocated restoring a 30-percent cut in the auditor workforce at the Department of Revenue Administration that would more than pay for itself by leading to the collection of $20-million more in business taxes. Hassan’s views on education funding, too, seem adrift from what voters typically hear from Democrats. While she supports the concept of targeted state aid to communities that would have to tax themselves to death to keep up with the kind of per pupil spending levels found in towns with larger tax bases, she cautions that she believes in “spending money wisely for real outcomes”. There is not necessarily a correlation between spending more money and getting better results, she added. “Throwing out more money and not caring about outcomes produces waste and carelessness.” As governor, Hassan said she would
put an emphasis on so-called workforce development, training workers for the skilled jobs that are likely to exist and then attracting companies to the state that could make good use of those workers. She conceded that this effort is already being done “in pockets” around the state but insisted the effort need be broadened to all corners. “I want to make sure educators understand (what’s needed) from businesses,” she said. At the bottom line, Hassan said he considers herself to be a pragmatic problem solver. “Citizens come together in good faith to solve their problems,” she said of her view of how public policy is made, “to move the ball forward. . . not take us back by centuries.” Hassan, 54, grew up in Lincoln, Mass. and attended Brown University and Northeastern Law School. She practiced business law for over 20 years and at one point was a house counsel at Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. Her husband is the principal at the prestigious Phillips Academy in Exeter, one of the country’s most prestigious private preparatory schools. The couple has two adult children.
NFL from page 2 play starting this weekend,” Aiello said. Vilma, who had been suspended the whole season, tweeted: “Victory is mine!!!! -stewie griffin” Added Fujita: “I’m overwhelmed with all the support. Thank you so much everyone. Can’t tell you how much it means to me.” The ruling does not affect New Orleans coach Sean Payton, suspended for the season, interim coach Joe Vitt (six games) or general manager Mickey Loomis (eight games). While the panel did not address the merits of the NFL’s bounty inves-
tigation, it found that Goodell overstepped his authority in hearing the players’ appeals of their punishments for participating in the Saints bounty program, which paid cash bonuses for hits that injured opponents. The panel’s decision states that Special Master Stephen Burbank, not Goodell, should discipline players for receiving money from a pool that paid for big plays. Goodell’s role, the panel said, should be limited to whether he can prove the players intended to injure opponents, which would fall in the category of conduct detrimental to the game.

Pat Buchanan
Godless party expels Creator The authors of the Democratic platform have inadvertently revealed to the world the sea change that has taken place in that party we once knew. For the first time — and in the longest Democratic platform in history, 26,000 words — there was not a single mention of God, the Creator, whom Thomas Jefferson himself, father of the party, proclaimed to be the author of our right to life and liberty. The convention had approved the new platform, but when a firestorm erupted, a panicked Barack Obama hastily ordered “God” reinstated. But when the amendment was offered to the convention by its chairman, Antonio Villaraigosa, the idea of restoring the name of God to the platform was hooted, jeered and booed by half the delegates on the floor, who three times howled, “No!” The omission of God is being called an oversight. But the viral reaction to returning God, even when Obama asked that it be done, testifies that this was no accident. God was deleted deliberately. This process has been under way for a decade. In the 2004 platform, there were seven references to God. In 2008, one. Like the European Union, whose Christian heritage is being excised from official documents by its secularist elite, the country led by the Democratic Party of Obama is being de-Christianized. Still, why would Democrats do something so seemingly stupid, something that will inevitably cause a backlash among believers? Answer: Millions of Democrats are themselves offended when God is included, because for them, the God of the Old and New testaments is an impediment to the progressive march of mankind. A year ago, in writing “Suicide of a Superpower,” I discovered that the number of self-identified Christians had fallen from 85-percent of the U.S. population in 1990 to 75-percent last year and that 1 in 6 Americans now disbelieve in God. Of Americans younger than 30, 1 in 4 profess no faith. Among Democrats, the figures are surely higher. Which brings us to the quandary faced by the platform writers. Why include in a statement of party beliefs a reference to God when a huge slice of that party would be deeply offended because such a reference would be the party’s formal declaration that their atheist or agnostic beliefs are wrong. Some atheists place a belief in God or Christ as the Son of God on a par with believing in Santa Claus. Others regard religion and especially fundamentalist faith as an often-destructive force because of what they believe it has produced over the centuries — intolerance, inquisitions, massacres, martyr-
doms, religious wars. Among the evils a deep belief in the God of the Torah and New Testament has produced, they argue, is the systematic persecution of homosexuals. Thus, the Democratic platform declares: “We support marriage equality and support the movement to secure equal treatment under law for same-sex couples,” while the Republican platform calls for a “Constitutional amendment defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman.” The Republican platform is clearly rooted in traditional Christian beliefs that marriage is strictly between a man and a woman and that homosexual acts are unnatural and immoral and ruinous to body and soul. Yet, as the man from Chick-fil-A discovered when he asserted those biblically based beliefs about homosexual marriage, that opinion comes close to being a hate crime in the new dispensation. To the God-fearing and God-loving, this campaign to redefine marriage to include homosexual unions is out of a George Orwell novel. But to gay rights champions, opposition to homosexuals’ right to marry and adopt is the mark of the homophobe, the hater, the bigot. There is no common ground. But if the party platforms are irreconcilable on homosexual marriage, that is equally true of their positions on life. Here is the Democratic platform: “The Democratic Party strongly and unequivocally supports Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to make decisions regarding her pregnancy, including a safe and legal abortion, regardless of ability to pay. We oppose any and all efforts to weaken that right. ... “There is no place for ... government to get in the way.” Under this plank, the father has no rights whatsoever and no role in deciding whether his unborn child lives or dies. There are no parental rights. Society cannot interfere in any way with a woman’s decision to terminate her unborn child’s life at any point in her pregnancy. This is a Democratic declaration of support for partial-birth abortion in the eighth and ninth month of pregnancy should a woman so decide, with the rest of us forced to pay for that abortion. This is a form of feminist fanaticism heretofore unseen in this republic. No platform celebrating homosexual marriage and backing a woman’s right to abort her child at any time in her pregnancy can be credibly adopted by a party that also purports to revere the God of our Founding Fathers. In truth, this Democratic Party was a godless institution long before its platform writers declared it to be so. The howlers had it right. God doesn’t belong in that platform.
LETTERS Don’t be bullied by extremists, vote for Jackie Cilly for Governor To the editor, Why should we support Jackie Cilley? The extremist that have ruled our state with an iron fist wants us to think Democrats have nothing to offer so we should vote for them because there is no better options. Well I ask the public and the citizens of our great state to reconsider that thought. We have great candidates who have much more to offer; do it for better schools, our kids deserve that. Do it for the children who have suffered abused or neglect and would have no advocate under a Smith or Ovide regime. Do it for the many families that have tied the knot so they are able to protect their families. Do it for the young people attending our great colleges, so that they continue to see our state a place they want to come study and feel welcomed not targeted. Do it for the future business that average people would consider opening if the burden of tax and property wasn’t so
heavy on them. We have to be responsible citizens and protect what we enjoy the most and that isn’t our bank accounts. That’s our freedom, everyday life, our kids, neighbors. We have to care for our elderly too what happened to the Golden Rule of taking care of thy neighbor. The day we stop caring about the well being of one another is the day we cease to exist. Stand up for what you believe in don’t let anyone bully you about what its right. Those same extremist that say they are antiregulations want to tell me and my family how to live our lives. That same group of people is trying to intimidate young people into not voting. Please vote for Jackie Cilley in the Democratic Primary for governor on September 11. This message is not paid or sponsored by any candidate it’s just a 23 year old that cares about his state. Carlos Cardona Laconia
Josh Youssef gave all the correct answers to Gun Owners of NH To the editor, My vote is for Josh Youssef for N.H. District 7 Senator. Josh is the true conservative. He appeared at a meeting of “Gun Owners of New Hampshire”, of which I am a member. We are a group which works to uphold the N.H. Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. Josh was grilled by our resident attorney on Constitutional issues. After answering a dozen questions the attorney remarked, “He was the first person to give all the correct answers.”
Josh is also positively against “Northern Pass.” It will decimate the pristine landscape of our state, provide a few jobs for Franklin N.H., where the switching station would be located, and supply electricity, for the most part, to Southern New England and New York State. His opponent, Bill Grimm, did not give a definite answer to the “Northern Pass” question at the last meeting of the Belknap County Republicans. Don Onofrio Gilford
I’ve come to know many commendable sides of Josh Youssef To the editor, I am writing this letter so the voters in District 7 are informed about the only clear choice for the Republican Senate nomination, Josh Youssef.

There are many sides to Josh Youssef, the caring, loving father to his son, the entrepreneur creating small businesses around the state and the com-
passionate conservative who knows whats best for the people of District 7 and all of New Hampshire. I urge YOU, the voters to take a stand and do what’s best for the people, economy, and quality of life here in District 7; vote Josh Youssef in the September 11th Primary. Julianne E. Griffin Laconia

LETTERS There is no doubt in my mind, Gilford needs a new fire engine
Jackie Cilley is best prepared to provide leadership as governor
To the editor, There is no doubt in my mind that the Gilford Fire-Rescue is in need of a new fire engine. We have operated with a fleet of four fire engines since 1968. Each one of those engines has different roles and responsibilities. Each has been designed to meet the needs of the community and the job that it is being asked to accomplish. We are now without one of our fire engines; 25-percent of our firefighting apparatus is out of service. After Town Meeting, in early April, we attempted to have an $11,000 repair made to that engine’s pump. This was the first time the pump was actually removed from the vehicle and its inner workings were visually inspected. We were disappointed to be advised that the damage to the pump was more severe than originally thought and more, pressing repairs were necessary. Due to the fact that the department did not have budgeted funds necessary to make the repairs; and, only after consulting with the selectmen, a responsible and well-thought decision was made to not repair the 25-year-old engine. The selectmen concurred 3-0 and the Budget Committee did as well, 8-4. And, with the support of the court, by way of granting an Emergency Town Meeting, the voters are being asked to support the purchase of a fire engine based on this new information and this new set of circumstances. We have not just “gotten by” without the engine since then. Obviously, we have a responsibility to provide a primary level of protection to our community. We have been responding to incidents day-in and day-out with one less engine and all of its equipment, water, and pumping capacity. There have been times, especially when our primary attack engine has been out of service or on another incident, that we have been without a primary attack engine; therefore, not being able to provide that primary level of protection to our community. In order to meet that responsibility, and only through their gracious and cooperative spirit, we have borrowed a fire engine from Laconia three times (days) since April. Another three times/days we were told their engine was unavailable and we were instead able to use an engine from Tilton-Northfield. And, furthermore, both the Alton and Meredith FDs have covered our station a number of times when our primary attack engine was tied up on another call. We have been very conservative and extremely careful when scheduling
To the editor, I am a physician volunteering for Jackie Cilley’s campaign for governor. Jackie is not a health care specialist, but she knows how important the health care debate is to the people of New Hampshire. That’s why she has already formed, and asked me to lead, a health care policy advisory team, which includes doctors and nurses, and specialists in the insurance industry, health care law, hospital administration and employer and union benefits. We even have an expert on “RomneyCare” from Massachusetts. Based on our discussions and my own experience of over 30 years in health care, I believe there are two primary ways a governor can lead on health care: by holding an effective conversation on federal/state initiatives, such as the Affordable Care Act and the evolution/reform of Medicare and Medicaid, and by supporting the innovation and partnerships that are
maintenance and training. We cannot just “put this truck out of service” without consequences. We have adjusted our mutual aid response tables. This period of time has been difficult and unusual for the department. In short, we have been providing a decreased level of service and we have been relying on other departments to provide basic services in our stead. When we borrowed fire apparatus, we actually went to their stations and picked up their engines. We then had to bring them to Gilford, equip them with our equipment and then provide training to our personnel so that they were somewhat familiar and comfortable in that piece of apparatus. When our engine was back in service, we stripped the loaner, fueled it, and delivered it back to its station Doing this was a last ditch effort to provide basic service to our community and was poor risk management, at best. And, we will be doing it again, soon, due to the need to inspect and repair our current primary attack engine. We certainly cannot adequately protect the town with only two engines... I feel that the leaders of both the department and the town have presented a solid plan for replacing our oldest engine. It is financially responsible and affordable. The first year’s lease payment will be made within the confines of a proposed level-funded 2013 Fire Department budget (coming on the heels of a 2012 budget that was 3.6-percent lower than that of 2011!). We are much busier today than we were in 1988. Reducing the workload of our current first due attack engine will prolong its serviceable life and reduce the likelihood of major refurbishments. This truck will not just sit in the basement, idle until pressed into service. Past incident data reveals that an engine filling this role will respond to 60-120 incident per year. Our hazards are more numerous and more challenging than they ever have been. We need asafe, dependable, and reliable fire engine. It is my professional opinion that we should replace our 1987 Ranger Pumper with a new EOne Attack Engine, as proposed. This engine will allow us to continue to provide the high level of quality emergency services the Town of Gilford has become accustomed to. We appreciate your continued support and it is an honor to serve you. Please vote on 9/11. It is an important day for all of us. Chief Stephen Carrier Gilford Fire-Rescue
Ovide Lamontagne brings the best package for people of NH To the editor, The undersigned have spent much time talking with the candidates for governor and have come to the conclusion that Ovide Lamontagne brings the best “package” to the table for the people of N.H. We were especially interested in reviewing the candidates in the name of those that can’t vote..... the school children. We are confident that the skills and experience he exhibits will help us (parents and lawmakers) address the changes that are needed to give our children the best opportunity for success. His
support of legislation that promotes school choice where students can go to the schools that fits them best and not only the schools in their zip code, is indicative of his commitment to educational excellence and sense of fairness for all. Rep. Gregory Hill - Education Committee Northfield Rep. Kathleen Laer-Rago- Clerk, Education Committee Franklin Rep. Rick Ladd - Education Committee Haverhill
already improving health care service delivery in our state. I also believe Jackie Cilley is the candidate best positioned and equipped to provide this leadership. As a fundamental principle, Jackie Cilley believes that our state will make its best decisions on complex subjects only through open conversations with everyone affected having a seat at the table. From her academic and business experience, Jackie understands transformation and recognizes the power of creativity and innovation to bring it about. Jackie Cilley is already prepared to use the leadership of the governor’s office to highlight as best practices what is already working very well in health care delivery in our state. This is why I support Jackie Cilley for governor, and hope you will join me in voting for her on September 11. Martin D. Merry, M.D Laconia
The need to replace Engine 4 is crucial for protection of Gilford To the editor, An open letter to Gilford residents: At the polls Tuesday, Sept. 11th there will be a special ballot regarding the effort to replace 25-year-old Engine 4. This ballot opportunity was approved by Superior Court Justice McHugh after agreeing with the need for an emergency town vote to replace this truck. This proposal to replace Engine 4 with the lease/purchase on an E-ONE attack pumper has been unanimously supported by the Board of Selectmen, Capital Improvement Committee, Board of Fire Engineers, and endorsement of the Budget Com-
mittee, 8-4. The current (out of service) condition of Engine 4 is not due to neglect by firefighters or our mechanics. It has been scheduled to be replaced for sometime. The need for replacement of this engine is crucial to the firefighting capabilities and protection of our town. Please vote to approve the replacement of Engine 4. P.S. Passage of this article will cost the average homeowner $7.50 per year. Gilford Board of Fire Engineers William Akerley, Phillip Brouillard, Don Spear
Cormier can offer truth and leadership for Republican issues To the editor, Jane Cormier is a State Representative Candidate for District 8 in the communities of Alton, Barnstead, and Gilmanton. As music educators for over 20 years. Jane has been dedicated to bringing beautiful music to the Lakes Region. Now. she looks forward to bringing a truthful voice to the Statehouse as your state representative in Concord. Jane and I have been disheartened to watch the past four year voting record of her opponent, Peter Bolster. While he calls himself a Reagan Conservative, his voting record is anything but. Jane can be counted on to support the N.H. Republican platform while being acces-
sible to the constituents of District 8. She will work tirelessly to pass Rightto-Work and will not vote to bring any new taxes or fees to N.H.. Her N.H. constitutional beliefs will never take a back seat when voting on legislation at the Statehouse. You can COUNT on that! We may not have a big union backing us (we have accepted NO contributions for this campaign). But, Jane CAN offer truth and leadership for Republican issues in Concord. We ask for your vote for Jane Cormier for District 8 in Belknap County on Sept. 11. Carlos “Mr. M” Martinez Alton
I’ve made up my mind, I’ll be voting for Ovide Lamontagne To the editor, In a few days it will be Primary Election Day in New Hampshire. Every two years Americans citizens engage in a “quiet revolution,” as we elect our leaders without gunfire and blood shed. This unique experience is not enjoyed by citizens of many other countries. Most Americans have a particular interest in government. Some want us to not to wage war. Some want lower taxes. Others want less restrictions on business. Still others want more money for schools, the list goes on and on. Generally a person will vote for the candidate who expresses
a position that match their own on the topic or topics that most concerns them. I have made up my mind, I’ve listened to Ovide Lamontagne express his concerns about our state government and he is the candidate for governor who plans to act, not just on one, but on many of those things that concern me, so I urge my all friends and neighbors to vote for Ovide, along with me. In any case do not stay home on election day, too many men and women have died protecting your right to vote. Elliot Finn Meredith

LETTERS I will not hesitate to advocate for interests of Gilford & Meredith
Kevin Smith is best qualified to lead NH to economic growth
To the editor, My name is Lisa DiMartino and I am a candidate for N.H. State Representative, for the towns of Gilford and Meredith. Now that the summer season is coming to a close and our children have started a new school year, it is time for all of us to become more engaged with the important upcoming elections. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I decided to run for state representative because I am concerned about the current political climate in Concord. I want to make sure that N.H. is moving in the right direction and is meeting the needs of N.H. citizens. Putting people first has always been, and will continue to be my top priority if elected. I have lived in the Lakes Region for many years with my family and love the quality of life here. I currently live in Gilford, and was a Children’s Librarian at the Gilford Public Library where I enjoyed interacting with our children and the community. Throughout the years, I have been active in the community and my family and I have enjoyed and appreciated the natural beauty and activities that the Lakes Region has to offer. Although new to running for elected office, I spend much time at the N.H. Statehouse as an advocate, and was a legislative liaison and family-tofamily coordinator for Lakes Region Community Services for several years. Also, I currently serve on the N.H. Governor’s Commission on Disability, the N.H. Medical Care Advisory Committee, the N.H. Coalition of Caring Committee and the Brain Injury Association Legislative Group, among others. My journey advocating for those in need started 17 years ago when my son was born with a rare genetic syndrome and Autism. So where do I stand on the issues and what are my priorities? As I mentioned earlier, I will always put people first
To the editor, September 11 is just around the corner and we as voters will have the opportunity to put forth the best candidate for governor. We have a choice. In this most important election year we have the chance to make some real progress towards reapplying the values and principles of our Founding Fathers. Over the past several years, I have had the privilege of working with and observing the behavior and records of both Republican gubernatorial candidates. While neither candidate is perfect, there are distinct qualities that stand out. Kevin Smith has demonstrated his ability to lead in a variety of situations in the private non-profit
over politics. I am for quality education, a strong area economy with job growth, fiscal responsibility with priority spending, and efficient and effective government. I believe in quality community services and protecting the rights of women. I am also a strong supporter of local businesses, tourism and protecting our beautiful environment. I want to bring back a common sense approach to government that works for all. If elected, I will bring my advocacy and interpersonal skills to Concord to help facilitate a spirit of cooperation. I will promote open and civil discussion about the challenges facing N.H. I believe that elected officials must be able to work together, find common ground and reach sensible solutions to the challenges facing us now and into the future. That said, I was born and raised in Brooklyn, N.Y. and have faced many challenges in my own life. When necessary, I will not hesitate to defend my convictions and advocate fearlessly for the best interests of the citizens of Gilford and Meredith. It is important that you have a strong, committed and sensible voice in Concord. It would be my honor and privilege to represent you in that capacity. Over the next couple of months leading up to the elections, I will be as engaged as possible and will be attending community meetings and forums, knocking on doors and introducing myself to as many of you as I can. But most importantly, I will be listening to you and the concerns you have about Gilford, Meredith and N.H. Your vote is your voice, and is one of the most important rights you have as a citizen. I respect that and hope to earn your support and vote the old fashion way, by committing to passionately work on your behalf and promising to put the best interest of you and your family ahead of politics. You deserve no less! Thank you for your consideration. Lisa DiMartino Gilford
Ian Raymond is enthusiastic, knowledgeable & well-prepared To the editor, Please join me in voting for Ian Raymond in the Primary on Sept. 11, 2012. I had the privilege of serving on the Sanbornton Energy Committee with Ian Raymond for several years and have never known anyone more fit for public service. Ian was the chairman of the committee and was always very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and wellprepared for our meetings. But what impressed me most about Ian was the countless hours he spent trying to convince taxpayers and the school board to support the construction of a biomass plant at Winnisquam Regional High School. Against great odds and
very staunch opposition, the plant was finally built and has saved taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars in heating costs, and will save millions of dollars in its lifespan. Without any doubt, if it were not for Ian Raymond’s perseverance and dedication to the public good, the biomass plant would never have been built. These traits will help Ian serve our communities and the State of N.H. very well when he is elected in November to be our representative. Again, please join me for voting for Ian Raymond both now and in November. Jeffrey M. Burns Sanbornton
Ovide Lamontagne can bring people together & get things done To the editor, Ovide Lamontagne, candidate for the Republican nomination for governor, is uniquely qualified to assume the governorship of the State of New Hampshire. He is no stranger to issues facing the people of New Hampshire in such areas as public education and public health. He served successfully as chair of the state Board of Education, and provided legal guidance in the successful merger
of Manchester’s two hospitals into Catholic Medical Center. His ability to bring people together “to get things done”, is well established. We urge you to vote on Tuesday, September 11, and to cast your vote for Obide Lamontagne as Republican nominee for governor. Richard P. Brouillard & Philip A. Brouillard Laconia/Gilford
world and in government. Kevin has shown his ability to set a vision and to grow Cornerstone Policy Research from a struggling organization to one with a substantial operating budget. He has worked with many government and private organizations to develop programs to benefit the residents in the Department of Juvenile Justice. A strong family man, I believe Kevin is best qualified to lead the State of New Hampshire in growth in business and economically while being financial responsible to her citizens. Therefore, I am pleased to endorse Kevin Smith for governor. Karen Testerman Franklin
Jane Cormier reflects values of New Hampshire’s Republicans To the editor, This September voters in Belknap County District 8 have a clear choice to make regarding who they would like to have represent them in the N.H. State Legislature. In the Republican primary you have Jane Cormier, a conservative who will fight for and support our state’s ability to balance our budget. Jane knows just as you and I do, it is a recipe for disaster to spend more than you have. Jane is a pro 2nd Amendment, pro Constitution, fiscal conservative that will support N.H. first. Your other choice in this primary is Peter Bolster, known for his record of voting against our state and federal Constitutions as well as the Republican platform. Peter has received an “F” from the Republican Liberty Caucus, managed an abysmal rating of 55-percent from the House Republican Alliance and his anti-gun voting record earned him a “D-”rating from
Gun Owner’s of N.H. Peter has voted against Right-to-Work legislation that would give union members the choice to either opt out or join a union. Peter has also voted against N.H. applying for a waiver to opt out of ObamaCare. Peter does support using your tax dollars to fund Planned Parenthood and has voted against your ability to retain control of your own children’s health, education and welfare. Clearly, Mr. Bolster is more in line with Democratic voters and has not been and would not represent your voice for his Republican constituents in Belknap County. You have an opportunity this September to vote for a candidate who reflects your values, New Hampshire values, in Jane Cormier. I urge you to support Jane Cormier, Republican candidate in Belknap County District 8. Jerry DeLemus, former chairman Granite State Liberty PAC Rochester
Grimm will be a spending hawk as State Senator for District 7 To the editor, My conservative friends throughout the Lakes Region will remember my work on the tax caps that are now in place in Laconia, Dover, Rochester, and Manchester. I traveled to each of these communities and testified before the N.H. Legislature over several years, speaking on behalf of sensible restraint on property taxes. During those years, another conservative Republican was working diligently on the issues of education and health care. Bill Grimm opened the first Charter School in N.H. history and has worked hard to contain costs at LRGHealthcare. As the new
District 7 State Senator, Bill Grimm will be a Spending Hawk who will bring the same drive and innovation to state government. Bill Grimm and his son Pete both graduated from Annapolis and honorably served in the U.S. Navy. Pete served in Iraq four times and was injured there. Bill Grimm will serve with distinction and determination in your State Senate. Bill Grimm has been endorsed by Congressman Bass and Senator John McCain. Please support him on September 11. Mayor Ken Merrifield Franklin
It would be a mistake to nominate Josh Youssef on Sept. 11 To the editor, I am a firm believer that we need a strong justice system to protect the citizens of New Hampshire. Which is why I became very concerned when I read information about Senate District 7 candidate Josh Youssef. In an Internet interview he claimed that he wanted to decriminalize many things; this included the running of a stop sign as long as there were no victims. He has also been in front of the House Redress and Grievance Committee to file complaints against three judges, two marital masters and a guardian
ad-litem for allegedly mishandling his divorce case. While I understand the family court system is not perfect, is it reasonable to think that all these people could have wronged him? If you believe in the sanctity of our legal process it would be a mistake to nominate Josh Youssef in the Republican Primary on September 11. This is one of the many reason I support Bill Grimm in the September 11th primary. Sheriff Scott Hilliard Merrimack County Northfield

LETTERS Neil Young continues baseless attacks on Bill Grimm at all costs To the editor, Niel Young is at it again. He is following the senate candidate he endorsed, Josh Youssef, into a baseless witch hunt to attack his opponent Bill Grimm. The simple fact is that a clerical error at the Secretary of State led to one page of Bill Grimm’s finance report not being published online. Josh or Niel could have easily confirmed this mistake by one simple phone call to Concord. How do I know this? I am Bill Grimm’s treasurer and I ensured that all campaign finances were filed properly. Niel claims that Bill is bad at math, but unfortunately it is he and Mr. Youssef who don’t know how to count properly. Otherwise they would realize that Bill’s expenditures posted
online started on Page 2. Page 1 which include Craig Benson’s donation was not posted due to this clerical error. You would think Niel has been in the media long enough to know to check his sources. Instead he and other Youssef supporters continue to attack Bill Grimm at all costs. Even if it means manufacturing false allegations. What does this say about Youssef’s character in propagating such falsehoods and attempting to mislead the public? Are these kind of tactics becoming of a senate candidate? I don’t think so. I hope District 7 voters will make the right choice on Tuesday. Vote for Bill Grimm in the September 11th Republican Primary. David Liberatore, Fiscal Agent Bill Grimm for Senate District 7 Gilford
We did as taxpayers asked and created a balanced budget To the editor, This letter is in response to an letter that was published on August 24 titled “Meredith road issues the result of budget slashing in Concord”. I believe that it is very important to keep an honest dialogue with the voters, and for this reason it is important to set the record straight and shed some light on some of the inaccuracies that were made. When I was first elected in 2010 the state was facing some pretty dark financial times. We were looking at a nearly $900-million structural deficit that had been created during the previous four years of Democrat control in which over 100 new taxes and fees were created or raised and the budget had grown by nearly 25-percent, from $9.1-billion to $11.4-billion. The constant use of one-time federal stimulus money and budgeting gimmicks helped to create this structural deficit that was so outrageous, that if this current legislature had kept spending at the same rate as the Democrats and raised taxes as the Democrats had, each man, women and child would have owed the state an additional $750 in taxes. In other words, each family of four would have seen their taxes increased by an additional $3,000 to pay for the ongoing spending plans. Taxpayers had enough of the rampant and irresponsible spending though. Unlike the author of the previous letter who believed then and still believes now, that this state has a “revenue” problem, we knew that this state really has a “spending” problem. As a Legislature, we did as the taxpayers asked and created a balanced budget that eliminated over 40 taxes and fees and enacted no new laws that
raised or created taxes. This budget contained absolutely no downshifting and we made sure that every municipality received the same amount as they had previously received. In fact, we rejected over $150-million in downshifting costs that were proposed in Gov. Lynch’s budget. We knew that the taxpayers simply could not afford anymore bloated government, so we were tasked to make the tough decisions that many of our families have done during these difficult economic times. During the rest of the legislature session we continued to keep to our promises to the voters by helping to improve our business climate, allowing for greater school choice opportunities for underprivileged students, passing a voter ID law and helping to enhance the states 10 year transportation improvement plan. Now in 2012, the state is beginning to emerge from the dark financial times we were once in. Our realistic budget projections have brought us to within 1-percent of actual, and for the first time in many years the Legislature is not frantically looking to make up for lost money. During the last two years we have kept our promises, but we still understand that there is more to do. Now is not the time to retreat to the old philosophy of more and more taxes on the backs of our citizens just to solve the previous author’s so called “revenue problem”. I look forward to earning your vote again on Sept 11th and November 6th and hope to get back to work on behalf of the voters of Gilford and Meredith in our efforts to make this state as great as it can be. Rep. Colette Worsman Meredith
I’ve found Representative Hill to be man of integrity & honor To the editor, Having served as a legislator for Merrimack County-District 2 Franklin/Hill for the past two years I have met and worked with many legislators. As a member of the House Education Committee I have had the privilege of working with Representative Greg Hill of Northfield. I have found Representative Hill to be a man of integrity and honor who is also a strong advocate for parents
and their child’s education. He was a co-sponsor of the school choice act (aka the Tax Education Credit). Greg is all about supporting families looking for an opportunity for their children outside the four walls of public education, as well as, an advocate for low taxes and lower spending. He is currently chairing the sub-committee on pension reform and is working to ensure its viability for current and see next page

LETTERS I’m running for re-election to address state’s pension system
Delaying purchase of new engine handicaps Gilford Fire Dept.
To the editor, I am running for re-election to represent Northfield and Ward 3 Franklin in the state Legislature. Last term, I joined the efforts of my fellow fiscal conservatives, putting the state back onto solid financial ground and rolling back the 25-percent increase in state spending and the 100 different tax increases the Democrats placed on all of us. (Remember the good times we had paying the LLC tax, the campground tax and, who could forget, the automobile registration surcharge three years ago?) With strong Republican leadership we also successfully erased their $800-million deficit created by overspending in slow economic times. While some may argue that worthy projects did not see funding increases in this budget, I’m sure you’ve noticed we have yet to experience the promised “blood running in the streets” from the reduced spending. Please ask yourself if you have even noticed the reduction of almost 1 billion dollars in state spending. The job isn’t finished however. My focus is to correct our ailing state pension system next. Across the coun-
To the editor, To the voters of Gilford: Much has been discussed regarding the proposal to acquire a new fire truck to replace our 1987 Ranger attack engine (Engine #4). While I and my fellow selectmen initially favored the purchase during our budget preparation session in late 2011, we all were convinced by two well meaning taxpayers that Engine #4 could be repaired for less than $20,000, saving the taxpayers a tidy sum and hopefully deferring the purchase for three years. Hindsight being 20/20, we now know that the repairs will cost more than $75,000 with no guarantee that we will extend the life of a 25-year-old truck. The time has come to vote YES on the warrant article for the new fire truck (September 11th Primary Day voting). The fire chief has reviewed a number of used trucks to replace Engine 4 in an interim capacity. None of them meet the requirements of a replacement vehicle; especially the engine power needed to carry the load up Schoolhouse Hill Road, Cherry Valley Road, Belknap Mountain Road, Liberty Hill Road, and through Gunstock Acres. Comments have been made by a few that we should just wait until Town Meeting in March 2013 to act on this. However, waiting does not change the impact on taxes in 2013; a YES vote on September 11th will the same tax impact (delivery is eight months after an affirmative vote) as a March vote.
try, we see cities declaring bankruptcy and at the heart is usually their pension obligations. Here in N.H., we haven’t reached that dire stage but we easily could if the situation is not addressed quickly. So while the state financial picture is in jeopardy, my concern is also for the ordinary N.H. taxpayer because under the current system, we taxpayers assume all the risk. If (or when) we have another stock market downturn we taxpayers make up for the losses to the pension plan. In these times, when most taxpayers can’t afford to save for their own retirement this comes as a double shock. Thus far, my experience in the retirement plan world has been useful and I would like to continue until the job is done. I need to point out the new plan will be used only by future state employees but the redesign will also strengthen the current pension system for our current workers and retirees creating more peace of mind. As I said, more is left to do and with your help we will succeed. I will appreciate your vote and your help keeping the ship of state on course. Rep. Gregory Hill Northfield
Bill Grimm only cares about Franklin and is a dismal choice To the editor, In a recent letter, a gentleman from outside the district claimed to “not understand Neil Young’s claim that Bill Grimm is a Franklin only candidate for Senate District 7” I would like to clarify this point for him. I first met Bill at the Belknap GOP Committee meeting at Top of the Town in Belmont. Unfortunately, Josh Youssef had a prior commitment to his 8-year-old son and therefore could not attend (to answer another of Racicot’s questions). Mr. Grimm and Mr. Neil Young (acting as Mr. Youssef’s surrogate) were asked for their positions on Northern Pass. Mr. Youssef opposes Northern Pass, correctly, as the project would grant the government a dangerous precedent (use of eminent
domain to give to a private corporation) and would burden most N.H. communities. Mr. Grimm favors it regardless of the high cost to Laconia, Belmont, Gilford, Northfield, Anover, Boscawen, Canterbury, Salisbury and Webster, because it will bring temporary unionized jobs to Franklin for six months. Another indicator may be that Mr. Grimm has refused to appear with Youssef outside of Franklin, to discuss the issues. Mr. Grimm only cares about Franklin, which makes him a dismal choice to represent the 10 towns of District 7, and I hope citizens of the other nine towns remember this on Sept. 11th.

I believe what God’s word says about homosexual marriage To the editor, Come on people, this is America, and the last time I looked at my dollar I read “In God We Trust”, the God of Heaven and Earth and the Father of our Lord, and Saviour, Jesus Christ. God made man (Adam) and woman (Eve) and they produced children. Homosexual same sex marriage produces nothing, period. homosexuality is a disgrace to manhood and womanhood, a real marriage is made in heaven and lasts a life time and our children are our greatest blessings. Sex is a wonderful God-given experience, but only between a man and woman, not between Adam and Steve, or Jill and Jane. The vast majority of Americans are against same sex marriage, thank God for strong men like Dan Caty, of Chick-Fil-A who warns us about risking divine retribution. I believe what God’s word says about
homosexuality. They try to change the truth of God into a life and God gave them up to vile affections, for women, did change the natural into something against nature, and likewise men, left the natural use of the woman, and lusted after men they became reprobates. (Rom 1:22-32) Listen folks, stand for that which is right in the eyes of God, and for a president who believes marriage is between a man and a woman and the Lord will bless our nation. This is not a hate letter by no means, Jesus died for all people including homosexuals, if we ask him to save us, he will and you can be set free and enjoy a normal holy relationship, even get married and have a wonderful family.

In the meantime, we are handicapping our Fire Department and borrowing apparatus from neighboring towns provided they don’t have an emergency of their own. Further aiding the tax impact aspect, the $56,000 Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) loan payment was completed in 2012; the new truck payment is to be approximately $50,000 per year, allowing the town to keep the fire department capital equipment tax burden level. The Selectboard (3-0) and the Budget Committee have both voted in favor of the purchase being made at this time. The judge who reviewed our petition to hold a special vote also concurred, noting that putting any more money into a 25-year-old vehicle was fiscally irresponsible. Each day we delay this purchase and run with just one attack engine brings us one day closer to a possible serious emergency, risking life and property. As a resident of Gilford, I urge you all to get out and vote on September 11th. There will be two ballots that day, one for the state and county primary and one for the fire engine. You need not be party affiliated to vote on the fire engine; registered independents are urged to make every effort to vote (Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the Middle School). It’s time to put rhetoric and bickering aside and pass this warrant article. Selectman Kevin Hayes Gilford
Feather hair extensions are cruelly harvested from roosters To the editor, Feather hair extensions are all the fashionable rage today. How are the feathers really obtained? Are they gathered from feathers that just “fall off” the bird? The answer is “no”. Hair extension feathers are obtained from roosters who are raised for this purpose only and are caged in filthy misery. The largest supplier of feathers for extensions is based in Colorado. Each rooster has available only 5-6 tail feathers that can be sold for extensions, sometimes non. Therefore, up to 1,500 roosters may be killed by this farm each week for the fashion industry. After the feathers have been plucked, the dead roosters are then trashed like garbage. “They aren’t good for anything else”, brags the company’s president, demonstrating the cruelty and waste of the feather business. The roosters are not killed humanely. To keep blood off the feathers the farms asphyxiate their birds with carbon dioxide, a terribly painful death, as the suffocate in terror. The birds panic as they realize that they cannot breathe. Each inhalation to
try to get oxygen expels the poisonous gas from their lungs which tightest the strangulation. Even though the companies claim that the roosters are killed painlessly, it is simply not possible to obtain millions of feathers for the feather trade humanely. Actually, some feathers may be picked from live birds, causing incredible pain. What can you do to stop this cruel trade? First, don’t buy feather extensions. Politely inform an establishment selling the extensions on anyone wearing them about the waste of life and suffering endured by the roosters. Education fashion and teen magazine editors, or store managers to not promote and sell this product of misery. Point our that there are many beautiful, feather free fabrics, beads, and other hair ornaments that you can purchase or even make yourself that don’t come from abused birds.

Judge rules Youssef has 15 days to argue why his financial records from divorce case shouldn’t be made public By Gail OBer
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
LACONIA — Despite the intervention of a Concord Monitor reporter, a local judge ruled yesterday the voting public will not have access to the financial records of Senate District 7 Republican candidate Josh Youssef before Tuesday’s primary. Fourth Circuit Court Judge Jim Carroll ruled that Youssef would have 15 days for his lawyer to file a motion explaining his objection to a request from both Annemarie Timmons and Youssef’s wife that his financial affidavits be unsealed. Carroll recognized Timmons’s right as a reporter to make the request but said electoral timing “cannot be allow the diminish the procedural protections to parties in the present litigation...” Youssef’s financial records have been at the heart of on ongoing and acrimonious child support dispute with his exwife. The issue has been made public in
area newspapers because his ex-wife and her lawyers have been providing information to the media and encouraging its publication. Bethany Youssef and her lawyer have argued the protracted battle over the appropriate level of his child support and repeated rulings of a marital master and two separate judges against Youssef were the reason he chose to run for public office in the first place and in the process she has been vilified. The lawyer did not send a copy of the above information or Carroll’s ruling to the Daily Sun. A copy was obtained independently yesterday. In an interview earlier this week, Youssef said he would not say anything negative about his ex-wife only to say that he “had moved on” and he wished she would too. Youssef is challenged by Franklin Republican Bill Grimm in Tuesday’s Republican Primary election.

Grimm has raised $12,180 & Youssef $2,970; both are far behind Hosmer CONCORD — According to the last reports of receipts and expenditures filed before next Tuesday’s primary election, Joshua Yousef of Laconia, who is vying with Bill Grimm of Franklin for the Republican nomination in Senate District 7, raised nothing in the past two weeks while his opponent collected $2,450. Yousef reported raising $2,970 since he began his campaign and spending $1,845, only $188 after his last report on August 22, leaving him with a balance of $936. Meanwhile, Grimm raised $2,450, increasing his total to $12,180. Since his last report he has spent $7,211, bringing his total expenditures to $9,699 and leaving him $2,431 in hand. Former governor Craig Benson has been Grimm’s largest donor with a contribution of $1,000 in his own name and another $2,000 from a company he owns. As a trustee of LRGHealthcare, he has received contri-
butions from the corporation’s executives as well as several physicians. The winner of the GOP primary will face Democrat Andrew Hosmer of Laconia in the general election. Hosmer raised $7,475 during the two-week reporting period, raising his total to $48,955. At the same time he spent $7,716, increasing his total expenditures to date to $20,516 and leaving him with a balance of $28,438. Hosmer received $1,500 from the Evroks Corporation, bridge builders of Winnisquam, and $1,000 contributions from Thomas Bullock of Amoskeag Distributors of Manchester, the New Hampshire Democratic Party and Senate Democratic Caucus along with $500 from Gary Hirshberg, president of Stonyfield Yogurt. Senate District 7 consists of the cities of Laconia and Franklin and towns of Andover, Belmont, Boscawen, Canterbury, Gilford, Northfield, Salisbury and Webster.

2 Belmont men need write-in votes on Tuesday to represent GOP in House race on November ballot By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
BELMONT — Although no candidates for the town’s two seats in the New Hampshire House of Representatives will appear on the Republican ballot in Tuesday’s primary election, two Republicans — Charles “Chuck” Fink and Michael Sylvia — have mounted write-in campaigns in hopes of earning places on the general election ballot in November. When the filing period closed in June, no Republican candidates could be found to challenge Democrats George Condodemetraky and Ron Cormier, apparently ensuring their election in November. However, last month first Fink and then Sylvia agreed urge voters to write in their names on the primary ballot. By polling a minimum of 35 write-in votes — and more than any other write-in candidate — in the primary on Tuesday, they would appear as Republican candidates on the general election ballot. “I’m pro-choice,” quipped Fink, a chiropractor who described himself as a lifelong Republican. There’s no choice on the ballot. If I weren’t doing this,” he continued, “I wouldn’t have anybody to vote for.” “I simply hate seeing anyone run unopposed,” said Sylvia, who moved to New Hampshire from Rhode Island two years ago as part of the Free State Project, which he described as an effort by libertarians to settle in the state “to reinforce traditional New Hampshire values.” Fink said that spurring economic growth is the “number one priority.” He expressed his support for the work of the Republican majority in the last legislative session, particularly the balancing of the state budget. While Fink does not count himself a member of the Tea Party, he said that he shared many of its views, especially its respect for the constitution, and is “sympathetic” to its policies. from preceding page adding that transparency, spending, and long-term planning are three of the solutions. Grimm has been accused by some of his opponents supporters of not taking “the pledge” — or a promised never to vote in favor of a broad-based sales or income tax. “I have agreed to take the pledge,” he said. By means of explanation, he said he does not believe the pledge is the “Holy Grail” of fiscal responsibility. “Spending is the big problem,” he said. He was also asked to clarify some confusion about his views of the local property tax caps in place in Franklin and Laconia. “We have a tax cap in Franklin and it works pretty well,” he said. “But I’m not suggesting we take the tax cap to the state.” Grimm supports the Northern Pass project. He said the enhanced availability of clean energy to

A longtime supporter of Ron Paul, Sylvia considers himself a consistent libertarian, who is uncomfortable with those aspects of the GOP agenda, like restricting abortion and forbidding medical marijuana, that infringe the freedom of individuals. He believes in shrinking the size and reach of government. If elected, he said that his goal would be to achieve a high rating from the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance, a self-described nonpartisan coalition working to enhance individual freedom. While Fink has placed yard signs around the town, Sylvia said that his campaigning has been limited to speaking with voters. Both candidates will be at the polling station on Tuesday. “People will know who we are by election time,” Sylvia said. New England will lower energy costs in the long run in New Hampshire. “It clearly has a huge benefit to the Franklin tax base,” he said but said he is firm that eminent domain should not be used by the utility companies to acquire the land and its use would be a dealbreaker for him. He also wanted to clear up some misconceptions about a $1,000 campaign donation from former Gov. Craig Benson. He said he listed the donation from Benson on the first page of his financial filing with the Secretary of State as well as two $1,000 donations from Benson’s Collingsworth Company — one for the primary and one for the general election should he prevail over Josh Youssef. see next page

Earthquakes kill at least 80 people in mountainous southwest portion of China BEIJING (AP) — Twin earthquakes and a spate of aftershocks struck southwestern China on Friday, toppling thousands of houses and sending boulders cascading across roads. At least 80 people were killed and hundreds injured in the remote mountainous area, and more than 100,000 residents were evacuated. from preceding page “We have to hold over $1,000 for the general election and it is in a separate account,” he said.

Damage was preventing rescuers from reaching outlying towns, and communications were disrupted after the midday quakes hit along the borders of Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, a region of small farms and mines where some of China’s poorest people live. The first magnitude-5.6 quake struck just before 11:30 a.m. and was followed by an equally strong quake shortly after noon, joined by dozens of aftershocks. Though of moderate strength, the quakes
were shallow, which often causes more damage. Hardest hit was Yiliang County, where all but one of the deaths occurred, according to the Yunnan provincial government’s official website. Another 730 people in the area were injured, the state-run Xinhua News Agency said. Yiliang’s high population density, flimsy building construction and landslideprone hillsides were blamed for the relatively high death toll.

CAMPAIGNS from page 2 “long tough journey” to recover from the recession. His comments came as the government said unemployment fell to 8.1 percent from 8.3 percent in July, largely because more people stopped looking for work. “We’re going in the wrong direction,” Romney, the GOP nominee, said earlier. His campaign released a television ad in New Hampshire questioning whether the state is better off under Obama’s leadership.
Obama echoed many of the points of his convention speech, telling supporters he needs four more years in office to finish what he started, from bringing troops home to sending more young people to college, and to further implement his vision for the nation. “Ours is a fight for that basic bargain that built the largest middle class and strongest economy the world has ever known: the promise that hard work will pay off, that responsibility will be rewarded, that everyone gets a fair shot, everybody’s doing their fair share, everybody’s playing by the same rules from Wall Street to Main Street to Washington, D.C.,” he said.

JOBS from page 2 voters to compare the candidates’ economic visions and see why only his would help the middle class. If the jobs numbers did hang over Obama, he did not show it, smiling and waving during rallies in Portsmouth, N.H., and Iowa City, Iowa. In both cities he returned to the themes of his convention speech, poking fun again at Romney while shrinking his competitor’s economic theory to one idea. “Tax cuts. Tax cuts. Cut some more regulations. Oh, and more tax cuts,” Obama told the thousands who packed the grounds at Portsmouth’s Strawbery Banke Museum. “Tax cuts when times are good. Tax cuts when times are bad. Tax cuts to help you lose a few extra pounds. Tax cuts to help you improve your
love life. It’ll cure anything.” Romney was biting as well. On repeated occasions Friday, he challenged Obama’s competency, lumping together the jobs report and Obama’s prime-time convention address. “There was nothing in the speech that gives confidence that the president knows what he’s doing when it comes to jobs,” Romney told Fox News. It was a rejoinder to Thursday night, when Obama stood before a cheering crowd and essentially put the candidates on different levels. “The times have changed, and so have I,” Obama said. “I’m no longer just a candidate.

MEREDITH — Reports of campaign receipts and expenditures filed yesterday show Democrat Robert Lamb continuing to outpace Republican Jeannie Forrester in the fundraising stakes in Senate District 2. Neither Forrester, who is seeking a second term, nor Lamb have a primary opponent on Sept. 11. In the two week since the last report Lamb collected $3,470, bringing his total to $77,261. During the same period he spent $2,284, which brought his total expenditures since the campaign began to $18,959, leaving him with $58,302. While contributions of $1,000 or more from 16 individuals living in other states represented nearly half of Lamb’s earlier contributions, all but five of his donors in
the latest reporting period were New Hampshire residents. An in kind donation in the name of wife Maureen accounted for almost a third of his recent contributions. Forrester reported receipts of $2,214, which raised her total to $70,104, of which she has spent $19,738, but only $889 in the last two weeks, leaving a balance of $50,365. Tom Bullock of Amoskeag Distributors donated $1,000 to her campaign, matching his contribution to Democrat Andrew Hosmer, who is running for the Senate seat in District 7. District 2 includes five towns in Belknap County — Center Harbor, Meredith, New Hampton, Sanbornton and Tilton — 19 towns in Grafton County and 3 towns in Merrimack County.

Joe Biden and their wives as well. One of the longest days of his campaign would take him from North Carolina to New Hampshire to Iowa and ultimately Florida, where he begins a bus tour on Saturday. The monthly jobs snapshot came out even before organizers in Charlotte had finished clearing away the convention. “If last night was the party,” Romney said in a statement, “this morning is the hangover.” Romney’s campaign also unveiled a battery of TV ads in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia. The themes of the ads are tailored to the economic concerns within those states, from growing debt to potential defense cuts to collapsing home values. The gloomy reaction to job growth came in part because it fell even below the expectations that economists had for August. On top of that, hourly pay fell, the job totals for July and June were reduced, and the number of people in the work force dropped to its lowest level in 31 years. “This is not even close to what a recovery looks like,” Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan told CNBC. Obama aides said they came out of their convention with momentum and small but consistent leads in the decisive states. With each passing week of little movement in the polls, the campaign attention is turning to what’s left: voter mobilization drives and October’s three presidential debates.

Father & son fugitives from Laconia arrested by U.S. Marshals in Maine CONCORD — The U.S. Marshals New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force arrested a father and son Thursday afternoon, both for bail jumping. Edward Janak, 38, formerly of Laconia, has been on the run since he left the state to avoid facing his jail sentence for original charges stemming from an assault in 2007. Brandon Janak, 18, also of Laconia recently fled the area after failing to appear for his jail sentence after his conviction for possession of narcotics. Both were wanted by the Belknap County Sheriff’s Office for bail jumping and located in Brewer, Maine. The U.S. Marshals New Hampshire Joint Fugitive Task Force and the Maine Violent Offender Task Force, including members from the Belknap
County Sheriff’s Office, Deputy U.S. Marshals, and Brewer (ME) Police Department converged on an apartment in Brewer, where Edward Janak had been residing. Edward Janak was arrested without incident, and Brandon Janak was located hiding in a rear hallway of the building after realizing he could not escape. Both Janak’s were transported to the Penobscot County jail in Maine for processing and holding pending fugitive from justice hearings. The U.S. Marshal Fugitive Task Force and the Belknap County Sheriff’s Office is continuing its investigation into who has aided the Janak’s in their attempt to flee from justice. Additional charges are possible.
GARDEN from page one help from the Belknap County Conservation District and Prescott Farm Environmental Education Center, was planted along the front of the high school building and in the courtyard near the main entrance. Cared for throughout the summer by Levesque and a staff person from Prescott Farm, the garden now boasts herbs, tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, beans, peas, potatoes and sunflowers. It has also benefited, at various times, from the labors of students in the Jobs for America’s Graduates program, and from members of the UNH Cooperative Extension’s Master Gardener program. Yesterday, a group of students saw, and tasted, what fruits those labors wraught. After the harvest, they planned to turn the tomatoes into salsa, make jars of dilly beans, and pickle the cucumbers. “I’m kind of excited to see what they taste like,” said Sarah Dragon, who hadn’t picked vegetables since she was “a little kid.” Dragon was picking alongside Gillian Gorse, who expected the vegetables to taste similar to what can be purchased at a supermarket. Dragon disagreed: “I think it’s going to taste better because
they’re going to be fresh.” Katherine Mitchell, whose mother has always kept a garden, thought growing one’s own produce was about more than just freshness. “It’s a feelgood experience. You’re accomplishing a task from start to finish, and then you get to eat it.” Despite his inexperience in gardening, Jacob Olisky took quickly to the task. “I found a ginormous pepper,” he exclaimed. About gardening, he said, “It was pretty interesting. I learned what ripe means.” On a teacher’s suggestion, Olisky plucked a ripe cherry tomato and found it wasn’t like the fruit sold at supermarkets. “It was good, it was a little sweet. I’m used to regular-tasting tomatoes,” he said. For Lisa Morin, coordinator of the Belknap County Conservation District, seeing the students harvest the produce underlined her organization’s motivation for funding the project. “We feel it’s vitally important for school-age children to understand the connection between agriculture and the food they eat.” Especially considering the class’s culinary plans, she said, “It’s a way to get kids to be connected through the whole process.”

www.beansandgreensfarm.com Work has begun on razing the Wide Open Saloon building at the Weirs that was gutted by fire almost two years ago. (Roger Amsden/for The Laconia Daily Sun)
SALOON from page one Court-Laconia Division last year the city could demolish the building and bill the owners for the cost of the work. However, he doubted it would be necessary to invoke the court order. After the fire, the charred remains of the building stood for nearly two years, its demolition stalled by several strands of litigation. Baldi appealed a court order, sought by the city to demolish it, pursued a claim against Lloyds of London, her insurance carrier, and sued the New Hampshire State Fire Marshall for withholding information about the fire. At the same time, the firm that installed the alarm and sprinkler systems sued Baldi for failing to pay for the work. As early as May of last year other business owners at the Weirs urged the City Council to take steps to hasten the demolition of the building, which they described as an eyesore casting a pall over the resort community that placed its hotels, cottages, restaurants and attractions at a disadvantage. Myers said that the city settled with Baldi, noting
that both parties agreed not to seek attorney’s fees and court costs from the other. The New Hampshire Supreme Court rejected Baldi’s claim against the fire marshal while the outcome of the remaining suits is unclear. Planning Director Shanna Saunders said yesterday that once the demolition is complete, the owners of the property will have one year to make a good faith effort, which could amount to filing a site plan or pulling a building permit, to rebuild on the same footprint, without being bound by changes in the zoning ordinance enacted since the original building was constructed. Baldi could not be reached to comment about future plans for the property. Just Good! Food

Liberty Tax Service is registering students for income tax preparation courses starting Sept. 24 LACONIA — Liberty Tax Service is registering students for Fall Income Tax Preparation courses which will start on September 24, at Laconia High School, through the Laconia Adult Education Program. The nine-week class is open to the public, with no experience required to register for the basic class. The curriculum is designed to cover the fundamentals of basic income tax preparation. Classes include help for entry level and seasoned preparers facing new regulations. Tax schools, long a training ground for industry employees, now face the challenge of preparing their students for increased IRS tax preparer regulation. Liberty Tax has enhanced its income tax preparation course to include a focus on IRS registration and accreditation requirements. The company’s tax schools and other trainings have incorporated steps to assist its tax school students who are interested
in becoming professional tax preparers and obtaining a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN) from the IRS. With a tax preparer certification process in place since 2007, Liberty Tax Service took a proactive approach toward internal professional standardization by creating its own innovative three-tier skill certification examination for its preparers. “Now is a great time to start the process of learning tax preparation, and follow the steps of the certification process as the IRS phases in the new requirements. The tax school training method has been a natural fit for those of any age eager to acquire news skills, earn extra income and explore an industry new to them,” remarked John Hewitt, CEO and founder of Liberty Tax Service. Call Laconia Adult Education @ 524-5712 to register and secure a class seat.

Moulton Farm’s corn maze officially opens today for 12th season MEREDITH — People are getting lost in Meredith and they are happy about it according to John Moulton of Moulton Farm. “People still enjoy getting lost in a corn maze despite the fascination with GPS devices and smart phones,” says Moulton when speaking about the Meredith farm’s four acre corn maze. Officially opening on Saturday, September 8, it is the 12th year the farm has planted and created a disorienting corn maze for people to enjoy. Creating the maze actually begins months before the opening with the careful preparation The designer of Moulton Farm’s 2012 corn maze is Wesley Thomas, who started working at the farm in and planting as each 1999 while in high school. The grand opening of the 2012 maze is on Saturday, September 8. (Courtesy row of corn represents a photo) line on a piece of graph says with a mischievous smile. “This year I did a three paper. Since the first maze opened in 2000, the prodimensional tractor design with more of labyrinth feel cess has become more complex. Wesley Thomas, who – lots of dead ends, repeats and overlapping paths.” has been working at the farm since 1999 when he Once the design is drawn, Thomas and coworkers head was in high school, is now responsible for planting, into the four acre field with a large weed whacker, the designing and creating the maze. Two intensive days of work and 20 pieces of graph paper taped together go into creating the maze design on paper. “When I design the maze I think of two things: how it will look from the air and how to make it challenging for our visitors,” Thomas explains. “Last year we wanted the maze to spell out ‘no farms, no food’ so it limited what I could do. This year will be different,” he

graphed design, and patience. With the corn less than a foot high, each corn stalk must be counted before one is cut. “It’s counting the corn stalks that lets us know where we are on the design and in the field. If we count wrong, it’s definitely an “oops” moment,” he laughs. “I’ve been designing the mazes for the past five years and this is the first year that we’ve cut the design perfectly.” It usually takes two or three people about two days to cut the maze. Once the maze is cut, there is still work to do. As the corn grows to 12 to 15 feet high, tractors are used to prepare the paths within the maze for walking. Admission to the corn maze is $5 per person with a special $3 rate for each child 6 and under. The special rate for young children also includes access to a mini maze designed for little explorers. The last admission is one hour before the farm closes to allow explorers to enjoy getting lost and playing the trivia game that is part of the maze. To see a picture of this year’s maze visit moultonfarm.com/corn-maze. Pictures of past corn mazes can be found on the farm’s Facebook page at Facebook.com/MoultonFarm. Moulton Farm is located at 18 Quarry Road off Route 25 in Meredith. The farm practices sustainable agriculture and is dedicated to providing the highest quality fruits and vegetables while preserving its rich soil for future generations. In addition to growing its own produce, the farm offers pumpkins, fall decorating supplies, Cider Bellies fresh cider donuts, baked goods and a quality selection of cheeses, meats, and other items from northern New England producers.

Get Fuzzy
By Holiday Mathis SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You may have a natural stress reaction to a situation that is indeed stressful by nature. But you’ll push through it -- and be better because of it, too. The extra energy will quicken your mind. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Avoid magnifying the meaning of an interaction in a negative or positive way. Both distortions can hurt. Keep it as close to reality as you can by maintaining a distant perspective. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Since any number of good things are likely to happen to you today, it is futile to focus too intently on achieving one specific outcome. Let go and trust that the universe is on your side. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have a way of stirring up curiosity and capturing the imagination of those around you. Be a responsible driver and transport those imaginations somewhere beautiful. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Pacing will be key to making yourself a fixture in a certain situation. If you move too fast, you’ll break the spell. If you move too slowly, the rest of the party will move on without you. Match the pace around you, and you’re golden. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 8). You’ll connect with people, and because of you, they will feel acknowledged and loved. This gift you have will lead to a new job in the next 10 weeks. October sparks adventure. You’ll close a deal in December. The new year focuses you. You and a loved one will champion a cause in February. Aries and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 21, 24, 18 and 40.
TUNDRA
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Repeating what a friend says may seem harmless, but that’s not what time will prove. It’s tantamount to someone reading aloud from your journal in public. Uncomfortable thought? Mum’s the word. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The more you talk about your personal reasons for wanting to accomplish something the more support you’ll get. People feel your heart, and it opens up something inside their own. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Even though you are mostly satisfied with the way things are going, there are still a few behaviors and characteristics you would like to change in yourself. You’ll be inspired to take the first step. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your inklings turn out to be true, though your suspicions will prove unfounded. Knowing the difference between the two is crucial to navigating your next move. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will hear of the marvels of distant lands, and today brings the beginning of radiant dreams. Someday you will know such places and propagate your own travel tales. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). People don’t appreciate learning about the details that you give up voluntarily without an ounce of resistance. They want to work for the information, so make a game of it. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There’s a reason you’re drawn to the stranger with head tattoos or the girl whose dog is wearing a tiara. You’ve met enough serious people to last a lifetime, and you’re ready for interesting interactions.

Page 22 — THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Saturday, September 8, 2012
––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Saturday, Sept. 8, the 252nd day of 2012. There are 114 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 8, 1892, an early version of “The Pledge of Allegiance,” written by Francis Bellamy, appeared in “The Youth’s Companion.” On this date: In 1504, Michelangelo’s towering marble statue of David was unveiled to the public in Florence, Italy. In 1565, a Spanish expedition established the first permanent European settlement in North America at present-day St. Augustine, Florida. In 1761, Britain’s King George III married Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, just a few hours after meeting her for the first time. In 1900, Galveston, Texas, was struck by a hurricane that killed an estimated 8,000 people. In 1921, Margaret Gorman, 16, of Washington, D.C., was crowned the first “Miss America” in Atlantic City, N.J. In 1935, Sen. Huey P. Long, D-La., was shot and mortally wounded inside the Louisiana State Capitol; he died two days later. (The assailant was identified as Dr. Carl Weiss, who was gunned down by Long’s bodyguards.) In 1941, the 900-day Siege of Leningrad by German forces began during World War II. In 1951, a peace treaty with Japan was signed by 49 nations in San Francisco. In 1971, the John F. Kennedy Memorial Center for the Performing Arts made its official debut in Washington, D.C., with a performance of Leonard Bernstein’s (BUHRN’-stynz) “Mass.” In 1974, President Gerald R. Ford granted an unconditional pardon to former President Richard Nixon. In 1987, former Democratic presidential candidate Gary Hart admitted during an interview on ABC’s “Nightline” that he had committed adultery, and said he had no plans to resume his White House bid. In 1994, a USAir Boeing 737 crashed into a ravine as it was approaching Pittsburgh International Airport, killing all 132 people on board. One year ago: Addressing a joint session of Congress, President Barack Obama challenged a reluctant Congress to urgently pass a larger-thanexpected $450 billion jobs plan to “jolt an economy that has stalled.” Ten oil workers were forced to abandon a crippled 94-foot research vessel in the Gulf of Mexico and pile into a life raft during Tropical Storm Nate; by the time rescuers arrived three days after, three of the men had died, and a fourth died later at a hospital. Today’s Birthdays: Comedian Sid Caesar is 90. Ventriloquist Willie Tyler is 72. Actor Alan Feinstein is 71. Pop singer Sal Valentino is 70. Author Ann Beattie is 65. Cajun singer Zachary Richard is 62. Musician Will Lee is 60. Actress Heather Thomas is 55. Singer Aimee Mann is 52. Pop musician David Steele is 52. Actor Thomas Kretschmann is 50. Rhythm-and-blues singer Marc Gordon is 48. Gospel singer Darlene Zschech is 47. Alternative country singer Neko Case is 42. TV personality Brooke Burke-Charvet is 41. Actor Martin Freeman is 41. Actor Henry Thomas is 41. Actor David Arquette is 41. Rock musician Richard Hughes (Keane) is 37. Actor Larenz Tate is 37. Actor Nathan Corddry is 35. Rhythm-and-blues singer Pink is 33. Actor Jonathan Taylor Thomas is 31.

ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I had to respond to the letter from “Seeing Red About Blue,” whose son is in a wheelchair. She often finds the striped area next to the handicapped parking spot occupied, blocking safe passage back into her van. I have a motorcycle. I used to park in those blue-striped areas because they were a perfect fit for my bike. I had a feeling they might not be OK to park in, but I had no idea what they were for and didn’t see any harm in leaving my bike there. One day a woman approached me and actually explained that parking my motorcycle in the striped spot made it difficult for someone in a wheelchair to safely access their car, because I was blocking the route. Annie, I should have known better. I didn’t realize I was causing undue hardship, and I immediately apologized and moved my bike into another spot. I will never again park in those striped areas. I appreciated being put in my place. -Found a New Spot To Park Dear Found: Thank you for taking responsibility for doing the wrong thing and then correcting it. We hope other readers will make the same effort. Read on for more: From Chicago: I appreciated all the information in that letter. I never knew what those striped areas in parking lots were for. I honestly thought they were for emergency vehicles. I never thought they were there to help with ramps, walkers, wheelchairs, etc. I am very glad that your writer explained the purpose. Education is power. Thank you. I am now enlightened. Los Angeles: I believe there is an easy solution for drivers who park in the striped lane between handicapped parking spots, preventing a side exit for handicapped passengers. These lanes should also have a posted sign that says, “No
Parking, Handicapped Access Lane,” complete with corresponding fines. Usually, those signs are only placed in front of the actual parking spot and not the striped area next to it. Wisconsin: I am handicapped and often see people parked in handicapped spaces when they have neither a handicapped license plate or placard. I have begun to leave notes on those people’s cars saying, “You are not handicapped. You should not be in this space.” It also might help to back into the space so that the striped area next to the ramp cannot be blocked by another car. Michigan: I, too, have a side-loading wheelchair van and have also been “parked in” by people choosing to use the striped area. I’ve also seen small cars with handicapped placards parked in van-designated areas. And it’s exceptionally common for people to leave their shopping carts in those striped areas. My husband purchased a small orange cone and printed RAMP on it in large black letters. He attached a 6-foot rope to it and tied the other end to the front passenger seat of the van. When we park, we pull the cone out and place it in the adjoining space. And do call the police next time there is a car parked in the striped area. When I did this, they didn’t tow the car, but they did write a ticket. If we make this an issue, the police will enforce the law. Baton Rouge: How about utilizing two plastic pylons (easily purchased at an athletic equipment outlet)? Affix long pieces of bright tape to each pylon, and attach the other end to a magnet. Attach the magnets to your vehicle, and leave the pylons (with the tape attached) to the amount of space needed for your ramp. The entire package can be rolled up and placed inside the car for reuse when you’re done.
