GILFORD — Selectmen said last night that current Deputy Police Chief Kevin Keenan will assume the helm as chief as of Oct. 2.

The announcement, which was expected by most, came about two weeks after Chief John Markland announced his retirement.

LACONIA — LRGHealthcare has charged the Belknap County Commission with thinning the number of inmates at the county jail to escape responsibility for their medical expenses and shifting the burden of their supervision and cost of their care to the general health care system.

yesterday, Tom Clairmont, president and chief executive officer of LRGHeathcare, recalled that earlier this month Dan Ward, superintendent of the jail, told representatives of the hospital that he “would make recommendations to the county attorney” to reduce or waive bail, request early release and place inmates on electronic monitoring

medical claims. Clairmont said that he understood the practice is “expected and encouraged” by both the Belknap County Convention and County Commission.

Finding Clairmont’s allegations “pretty out of line,” Ed Philpot, chairman of the commission, said in reaction that “the bigsee INMATES page 8

New 75 mph speed limit Study predicts N.H. facing ‘silver tsunami’ puts Maine in fast lane

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) — If you drive along Interstate 95 in the nation’s far northeastern corner, “it’s trees, trees, trees” for mile after mile, says one motorist. So why not set the cruise control on 75 mph?

That’s what a lot of drivers have been doing for years, but now it’s legal on one lonesome stretch, making Maine the only state east of the Mississippi River where drivers aren’t breaking the law by driving 75 mph.

The new law authorizing the higher limit went on the books Wednesday, though it actually takes effect when new signs replace the old 65 mph ones next Tuesday.

The trees, bogs, potato fields and mountain vistas all might look a little blurrier at 75 mph, but drivers also will burn more fuel and risk more destructive accidents. Residents had asked for the change, saying no one obeyed the limit anyway, and their widespread disregard for the current limit hastened the bill’s passage.

“Up here, we’re isolated,” said Rick Castonguay, a real estate broker in Presque Isle. “Going down that stretch of the interstate, it’s pretty straight. It’s trees, trees, trees. You can literally sit on that road, set your cruise control and watch the trees go by.”

The new 75 mph zone covers an approximately 110-mile stretch of road between Old Town, which is a few miles north of Bangor, and Houlton.

The higher limit sets Maine apart from other eastern states, none of which lets drivers go that fast.

About a dozen western states have 75 mph limits along rural interstates, and Texas even allows 85 mph on some segments, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The change came fast and quietly in Maine. Freshman state Rep. Alexander Willette said people kept bringing it up when he went door-to-door campaigning last year in his district, which is north of the speedier highway. Willette, a Republican, says he dealt with other legislative priorities but submitted the bill late in the session “in an effort not to break a promise” to his constituents.

It turned out that the state Transportation Department already had done studies showing the change was justified, and the bill whisked through the State House.

Transportation Department spokesman Mark Latti said the department bases its limits on the speed at which 85 percent of motorists travel, and highway surveys showed that percentage were going 74-75 mph along the northern I-95 stretch.

CONCORD (AP) — A think tank is predicting a “silver tsunami” in the next decade as baby boomers begin to reach age 65 in large numbers in New Hampshire and shift more health care costs to public programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

The New Hampshire Center for Public Policy Studies issued a report Wednesday titled “Coming in 2020: New Hampshire’s ‘Silver Tsunami.’” It predicts the age shift will peak in the next decade and by 2030, nearly 500,000 residents — almost one-third of the population — will be over age 65. Currently, nearly 14 percent of state residents are over 65.

“An aging population will require a different mix of social, health, housing and other services than the current population mix now demands. The full impact of this change remains to be seen,” the study concludes.

Steve Norton, the center’s executive director, said the aging population will put financial pressure on the state as more elderly people are enrolled in Medicaid, the state-federal health program for the poor.

He said the state is currently focusing on reducing costs by implementing a managed care system for acute care Medicaid recipients, but should begin to look long-term at how to deal with the elderly receiving care at home and in nursing homes.

The aging population has the potential “to break the bank for the state budget and its management of the Medicaid program,” he said.

House Speaker William O’Brien said the 2010 Census shows more young people are leaving the state, making it important for the Legislature to enact pro-jobs laws. He said that includes promoting see SILVER page 13

WASHINGTON (AP) — Raising prospects for a major election-year ruling, the Obama administration launched its Supreme Court defense of its landmark health care overhaul Wednesday, appealing what it called a “fundamentally flawed” appeals court decision that declared the law’s central provision unconstitutional.

Destined from the start for a high court showdown, the health care law affecting virtually every American seems sure to figure prominently in President Barack Obama’s campaign for re-election next year. Republican contenders are already assailing it in virtually every debate and speech.

The administration formally appealed a ruling by the federal appeals court in Atlanta that struck down the law’s core requirement that individuals buy health

insurance or pay a penalty beginning in 2014.

At the same time, however, the winners in that appellate case, 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business, also asked for high court review Wednesday, saying the entire law, and not just the individual insurance mandate, should be struck down.

The Supreme Court almost always weighs in when a lower court has struck down all or part of a federal law, to say nothing of one that aims to extend insurance coverage to more than 30 million Americans.

The bigger question had been the timing. The administration’s filing makes it more likely that the case will be heard and decided in the term that begins next week. see APPEAL page 14

WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal health officials said Wednesday more illnesses and possibly more deaths may be linked to an outbreak of listeria in cantaloupe in coming weeks.

So far, the outbreak has caused at least 72 illnesses — including up to 16 deaths — in 18 states, making it the deadliest food outbreak in the United States in more than a decade.

The heads of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration said consumers who have cantaloupes produced by

Jensen Farms in Colorado should throw them out.

If they are not sure where the fruit is from, they shouldn’t eat it.

Neither the government nor Jensen Farms has supplied a list of retailers who may have sold the fruit. Officials say consumers should ask retailers about the origins of their cantaloupe. If they still aren’t sure, they should get rid of it.

“If it’s not Jensen Farms, it’s OK to eat,” said Thomas Frieden, director of the CDC. “But if you see CANTALOUPE page 9

GOP still looking The Republicans’ presidential debate sponsored by Fox News and Google gave primary voters and caucus-goers at least one good reason to reject every candidate on the stage. The interesting question now is whether someone else will enter the race — at just about the same point in the election cycle in which Bill Clinton entered the Democratic race in 1991.

The spotlight was hottest on Rick Perry, the frontrunner in national polls since he announced his candidacy in Charleston, S.C., on Aug. 13, the same day that Michele Bachmann won the straw poll in Ames, Iowa.

Perry’s problem was not just that he punted on the tough question of how to respond to a terrorist takeover of nucleararmed Pakistan. Even the smooth-talking Mitt Romney might have had trouble with that nightmare scenario. And Perry was right to cite our informal alliance with India as a source of leverage.

The problem was that Perry was couldn’t respond cogently to utterly predictable questions and was unable to articulate his pre-scripted criticisms of Romney. A case can certainly be made that Romney has flip-flopped on issues. But Perry failed to make it.

Perry defended his order requiring HPV vaccinations by citing his talks with a woman with cervical cancer — but they took place only after his order. He failed to fend off attacks on his criticisms of Social Security in his book “Fed Up!,” saying he was only endorsing the longtime exemption from the program for state and local public employees.

He failed to explain why Texas, with its large legal and illegal immigrant and young populations, has a high percentage of people without health insurance.

He was eloquent in defending Texas’s in-state college tuition for children of illegal aliens, but his stand is hugely unpopular with Republicans outside Texas. And he failed to point out that it helped him win a respectable 38 percent from Latino voters in the 2010 election.

Mitt Romney clearly benefited from his greater experience over the years and his superior preparation in recent weeks. But he also benefited from the fact that no one challenged him convincingly on claims that he is unlikely to be able to sustain. He sloughed off Perry’s accurate charge that he supported the Obama administration’s Race to the Top education program — a defen-

sible position, but not a popular one for Republicans.

Romney repeated now what has been his standard defense of his Massachusetts health care program. But someday someone is going to nail him on his insistence that its individual mandate to buy insurance covers only 8-percent of the population. It actually applies to everyone. He avoided Perry’s claim that he deleted defenses of the program from the paperback edition of his book. He won’t be able to deftly dodge that forever.

If Romney overtakes Perry in the polls — a likely possibility after the Texan’s stumbling performance — he will likely become the pinata for the rest of the field, a role he figured to play before Perry entered the race.

None of the other seven candidates on the stage made a convincing case for advancing to the top tier. The closest was Rick Santorum, who was eloquent and knowledgeable on foreign policy. But his answer on gays in the military was cringe-inducing for people on all sides of the issue.

Michele Bachmann refused to back down from her statement relaying the claim of a woman who approached her saying that the HPV vaccine caused retardation in her child. Bachmann has made headway by championing the instincts of ordinary hardworking citizens over the supposed wisdom of experts. But on vaccinations the experts are right.

Pundits are fixated on designating a frontrunner, but the polls in this race — witness Romney’s rise and fall and Perry’s rise — have all the solidity of cotton candy. Bachmann’s numbers peaked in July, Herman Cain’s in June, Ron Paul’s and Newt Gingrich’s in May — and not at high levels. Santorum’s haven’t peaked at all.

Could another candidate give a better performance than Perry and deliver more sustainable responses than Romney? To judge from their performances in various public and private venues the answer is yes for Mitch Daniels, Paul Ryan and Chris Christie.

Each has taken himself out of the race.

Each still has time to get in. Most voters are ready to reject Barack Obama. But not necessarily for one of those on the stage Thursday night.

LETTERS Liberals can’t evidence Tea Party racism? Here’s some examples To the editor, Steve Earle is misguided. It DOES make sense if we go green; the sooner the better. Since the 1970s there have been many developments but bought lawmakers have obstructed progress.

We hear of American exceptionalism but when dreamers decide to tackle green energy, the right snubs them.

The town of Tocco da Casauria in Italy produces more energy with wind turbines than it uses and profits off the extra energy they sell to the grid. The small Italian village of Varese is also self-sufficient and created 140 jobs in the town of 2400. Gussing, Austria is a town of 27,000 that went from poverty to prosperity when it went green.

Towns and cities all over Europe are adopting similar strategies.

In 2008, tornadoes destroyed Greensburg, Kansas. They decided rebuild green. Hometurbines.com states: “From a solar and wind-powered arts center — to the wind farm that supplies all of the town’s residential electricity, Greensburg became a model of green living and architecture that will keep the town sustainable for generations to come.” As Green becomes the norm, the costs drop.

On jobs, Steve claims “been there done that”. If he’s talking about the Bush administration, there was a net gain of no jobs and the biggest market crash since ‘29. Republican economics failed miserably. Although the stimulus is attacked by every corner of the right, four independent analysis companies disagree on Jobs saved/ created: CBO: 1.3-3.6M; HS/Global Insight: 2.45M; Macroeconomic Advisers: 2.3M; Moody’s: 2.5M. Economists at Moody’s claim the president’s latest jobs bill will bring about 1.9-million new jobs.

Mr. Earle might take special elections seriously but I don’t. Two longtime GOP seats in upstate N.Y. fell to Democrats recently. Progressives don’t believe “valuable things come free and easy”, as Steve alleges. He says we have no compassion for the poor. Progressives aren’t the sociopaths yelling “let them die!”, or blaming someone for their unfortunate circumstances. We believe in a safety net, not social Darwinism. Mr. Earle

abolitionists, anti-suffragists, and segregationists did, too.

Fox lies! On May 2nd, 2011, Hannity lied, by saying President Obama giving the go ahead to capture and kill Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan it was, “Almost the opposite of what candidate Obama said he would do.”

Candidate Obama made clear in the presidential debate, “I understand that President Musharraf has his own challenges. But let me make this clear: There are terrorists holed up in those mountains who murdered 3,000 Americans. They are plotting to strike again. It was a terrible mistake to fail to act when we had a chance to take out an al Qaeda leadership meeting in 2005. If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will.” In August, Hannity said “he would never question President Obama’s patriotism”, yet on April 17, 2009, Hannity had asked, “Is there anything that Obama likes about this country?” If I had the space, I have much more.

Mr. Earle says liberals can’t evidence tea party racism. Here’s examples of signs I saved that demonstrate bigotry. “OBAMA IS A DESTRUCTIVE UNPATRIOTIC BLACK MUSLIM”.

“OBAMA HALF BREED MUSLIM”.

“OBAMANOMICS — MONKEY SEE MONKEY SPEND” “OBAMA IS HALF WHITE HALF FOREIGN....”.

“BACK TO KENYA”. “OBAMA OUR FOREFATHERS WERE CHRISTIAN YOURS WERE FROM KENYA. THAT EXPLAINS A LOT ABOUT YOU”. “HEY HUSSEIN QUIT ‘DIXIE CHICKIN’ OUR NATION. GO BACK TO KENYA”. “BEWARE OF DOG”.

“GO TRASH YOUR FATHER’S CRAPPY COUNTRY. DON’T TRASH MY FATHER’S GREAT COUNTRY...”.

“THE ZOO HAS AN AFRICAN LION AND THE WHITE HOUSE HAS A LYIN’ AFRICAN”. “UNDOCUMENTED WORKER”. “Barack HUSSEIN Obama JIHAD 08” “OBAMA IS A BLACK FUTURE”. “IMPEACH THE KENYAN”. Links to supporting pages will be below the internet version of this letter.

Please join firefighters in supporting shelter for homeless vets To the editor, Each spring and fall, the members of the Gilford Fire-Rescue Department request citizens of the Greater Lakes Region join us in donating good used clothing from our closets and bureaus to the homeless New Hampshire Veterans. Today there are over 600 known homeless veterans, the majority in the City of Manchester, living an existence in the swamps, sewer drains, under bridges in boxes — just about anywhere they can escape the elements.

And yes, some of these soldiers are the same ones you see being welcomed back home at the airports on Channel 9 news after honorably serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Nationally, at this time, there are 250,000 Veteran’s without homes. According to Liberty House Director Bill Zarakotas, many are in this situation due to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and the inability of the veteran’s and their families to grapple with the change that comes with PTSD. This, coupled with the employment situation across American, has created this concern.

Mr. Zarakotas received a grant from the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development. However, the Veterans Administration will not provide Liberty House with any assistance, stating that their operation here in N.H. is insignificant. However “insignificant” this “Mom & Pop” operation is, the Veterans Administration phones Liberty House when a homeless Veteran comes to them for aid. Mr. Zarakotas proudly reports that Liberty House is Vets helping Vets, stating, “It’s not a business, it’s a brotherhood.” Without the 60-percent of private monetary donations, this safe haven would close. All donations are expended for food, fuel and electricity.

Mr. Zarakotas wants Lakes Region residents to know that what we are doing by donating is not insignificant.

They critically depend on our support.

Liberty House has veterans who come to New Hampshire from as far away as Montana. When asked why they would travel to the Northeast, he stated that the word spreads that Liberty Houses’ success rate in acclimating veterans back into the community is high. Seven or eight out of 10 veterans who go through Liberty House leave as independent, selfsufficient, healthy citizens. Incoming veterans must pass an initial alcohol and drug test and be prepared for random screenings. No one is turned away. “We take care of them the best we can,” states Mr. Zarakotas.

Liberty House also assist “nonveteran drop ins” with food, clothing toiletries, medical needs and psychological counseling.

Cold weather is coming and these veterans need our help. We are again requesting residents of the Greater Lakes Region area to please consider donating your unwanted articles of warm clothing, boots, shoes, socks, sweaters, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, scarves, coats along with blankets, and backpacks. I am grateful for those kind folks who throughout the year also package toiletry items. These large Ziploc bags hold new items such as socks, toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, wash cloths, soap, deodorant, razors, Chap Stick, hand cream, sunscreen and handkerchiefs. Liberty House also needs non-perishable foods.

Our goal is to deliver our collection to Liberty House in Manchester by October 4th, 2011. You may call us at 527-4758 for more information. Our donation drop off location is Gilford Fire-Rescue 39 Cherry Valley Road, Gilford. Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity to our New Hampshire Veterans.

Incarceration rate is evidence our education system is inadequate To the editor, An open letter to the Task Force for an Adequate Education: My name is Robert Kingsbury, Representative from Laconia. I am a newly appointed member to the Task Force for an Adequate Education. The coming meeting on September 29 will be my first.

I fully agree with the Supreme Court that education in New Hampshire is not adequate, but since my views are quite different from those reported in the minutes of earlier meetings, I feel it is appropriate to mention my views to you before we meet next Thursday.

I first bumped into an overview of things educational with the publication of a book, circa 1947, “THE SABER TOOTH TIGER CURRICULUM” authored by Dr. Benjamin, dean of the College of Education of the University of Maryland when I was a student at that university. Some of his comments some 64 years ago on education apply to the current educational problems in New Hampshire.

In 1947, schools taught boxing.

Since that time, the schools have eliminated boxing, and along with boxing, schools eliminated the very impor-

with the result that today, without the protection of those rules, women are viciously and repeatedly attacked, to the point where there are headlines in the newspapers about men attacking women (Saber Tooth Tiger Curriculum?) on a frequent basis. In my opinion even one such incident is evidence of an inadequate education, Additionally, nationwide, there are 50-percent more high school graduates in prison than there were 64 years ago. Having 50-percent more high school grads in prison is a measure of a failure of education. If schools wanted to keep high school grads out of prison then one way would be to copy the program adopted by the U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet, “Blue Jacket Program”. That there are that many high school students in prison, is, in itself, evidence that our educational system is performing way below an “adequate” level.

Newspapers frequently report that our society has about a 50-percent rate of divorce. If true, then the schools “sex education” program is a 50-percent failure, and a 50-percent failure rate is far too high for something as important to children having see next page

To the editor, Conservative writers ask liberals and progressives to “wake up and smell the coffee.” Others have warned us not to “drink the Kool Aid,” an obvious reference to the mass cult suicide at Jonestown, Guyana. Perhaps some conservatives should wake up and smell the cyanide in the “Texas Tea” now brewing in the GOP. Texas Governor Rick Perry is a likely GOP nominee for president. I could write about Governor Perry’s folksy populism. I might even mention his disbelief in modern science and his pandering to religious fanatics.

Or, I could note his cynical tendency to constantly revise himself.

Instead, I will concentrate on just one of his concrete proposals: abolishing the independent authority of the federal judiciary, a very dangerous idea. Unless he has conveniently changed his pubic position very recently, Mr. Perry favors a Constitutional amendment that would allow a two-thirds vote of Congress to override any Supreme Court decision. Actually, the odds are slim. Historically, amending the Constitution is difficult. It has only happened 27 times. Still, the proposal is disturbing.

Granted, we sometimes do not like Supreme Court decisions. Many progressives do not like decisions that give corporations the rights of a “person.” Obviously, Governor Perry does not like the court’s more liberal

decisions and so attacks the principal of having an independent judicial branch. Federal judges do not, as many conservatives assert, “legislate.” The courts make sure that laws passed by Congress and enforced by the executive branch or those of the states do not violate the Constitution.

Constitutional Founder James Madison stressed that government should be divided into three co-equal but separate branches: executive, legislative, and judicial A system of “checks and balances” keeps these branches in rough equilibrium. To allow Congress to nullify a Supreme Court decision would be giving Congress too much control over the judiciary. It would be naïve to believe that our courts are not in some sense “political” but Perry’s proposal would make them even more so.

Madison also believed that the “majority” could be as tyrannical as a single despot. While majority rule through elected representatives certainly is one of the foundations of our republic, so is the principle that a majority may not trample on the rights of a minority. To prevent this is one of the main duties of our federal courts. The Supreme Court rules on the basis of law and the Constitution to make sure the other branches of government — and even “we the people” — do not abuse power.

Thanks for helping make Mullen Golf Tourney a great success To the editor, The Laconia Police Relief Association would like to thank all those that helped make the 11th. annual Thomas Mullen Golf Tournament a huge success. It was one of our largest tournaments to date. The hole and tee sponsors helped make the event very profitable. Half of the proceeds will be given directly to DARE to help fund this year’s program. A very special thank you to Paugus Bay Marina and Tilton Auto Serve for sponsoring the hole-in-one prizes and to MB Tractor for being our Silver Sponsor.

Thank you also to The Laconia Country Club’s Dan Wilkins and his staff for allowing us to use this top notch golf course each year. The course as always was in outstanding condition.

The Mullen Family continue to be big supporters of the tournament, which the Laconia Police Relief Association is much appreciative of.

Again, thank you to the community for their continued support of this fundraiser in such difficult economic times.

I’d do the same if my goal was to protect the banks & politicians To the editor, The Federal Reserve has announced what is called operation twist. This is what I see the Fed doing and why.

With operation twist, the Fed is taking 30-day to 2-year paper bought with funds created by QE1&2 that are maturing and “redeploying” these funds, buying 5 to 30-year treasuries in an attempt to force 5 to 30-year rates even lower. With reduced purchases of 30-day to 2-year treasuries by the Fed, those rates will rise from near zero to more realistic open market levels of 0.25-percent to potenfrom preceding page married parents.

The Fed’s objective is to lock in a “fixed rate” on the national debt longer term for record amounts of U.S. debt the Treasury currently needs to sell at historically low rates, essentially cutting the debt service cost for the 5-year to 30-year debt. At the same time the U.S. dollar is devaluing, which further reduces the national debt in constant dollars; the long-term trend for the dollar has been down for nearly 10 years. Should the dollar rally hard for any reason the Fed will create more dollars to pressure the dollar lower and keep inflation engaged.

The Fed/Treasury goal is to lower the debt service cost and the national debt in constant dollars simultaneously. From the trillions of dollars already “created”, inflation has engaged, as the prices of goods and services go up so does tax revenue, 2011 inflation now is running at see next page

LETTERS Obama is now a desperate politician, a danger to our fiscal health To the editor, My dog creates more “shovel ready” jobs than Barack Obama will in his lifetime. The only people who can effectively allocate risk capital to create genuine, long lasting employment in America are in the private sector.

The evidence is overwhelming; every program government runs/manages is in shambles, is bankrupt or headed for bankruptcy from the post office to Social Security. Politicians are in fact” lousy” business people. Why? Because every key decision they make is forced through a prism of politics rather than one based on logic and common sense. Solid business decisions must have at their origin a fear of loss. Politicians have no such fear of loss for the trillions they propose spending except for that of their own job. Digging 10 foot holes in the morning and filling them in the afternoon is a successful jobs program to Barack Obama if it improves his election chances.

The 2012 election for president will come down to about a half dozen states that flip flop. Amazingly, the rest have already been painted in as red or blue with a high degree of certainty .The handful that will determine our next president would include Penn., Ohio, Florida, and N.H. If Obama could drop $100 bills from helicopters 24 hours a day to buy voters in those states the copters would already be in the air. Do you think Barack Obama cares two craps about the cost of such an action if it assured him the election?

Barack Obama is now a desperate politician. There is nothing any more dangerous to America’s fiscal health than a politician who believes his job is in great danger. Obama is right about

that, his job is in danger. In current head-to-head polls against Romney he is a loser 49 to 47-percent, all while his job approval ratings tank to below 40-percent in some states. America is deep economic malaise caused by governments single move that turned banks, and Wall Street into a global casino selling “kryptonite” sub prime debt backed by millions of pooled mortgages from people who could not afford a CHICKEN COUP, let alone a home.

The Democrats had screamed for decades about how the poor were being discriminated in the housing market.

Mean bankers demanding 20-percent down payments were keeping the less fortunate in rented apartments.

Government finally “FOLDED” on it’s rules permitting no income and no job home loans and the Fed lowered interest rates to the lowest level in decades to bankroll the biggest “housing crap shoot’ in history from which we have yet to recover. It illustrates so perfectly the danger in even ONE democratic idea, embraced by “big government” implemented under the yells of altruism.

Stand by for democratic WRECKING BALL number two, named Obamacare. Wait and see what that does for us all. Health care across this nation will be severely rationed, costs will NOT be contained and the endless stream of new cures that have extended longevity over recent decades will dry to a trickle as profits shrink and taxes rise. I will take any and all bets from any one that this they will not be the outcome and the less fortunate will still be ill served.

from preceding page 4-percent, see Bureau of Labor and Statistics to confirm, true inflation is running closer to 12-percent.

The next step I believe will be the Fed and Treasury will crush the 5 to 30-year, selling these instruments, creating downward momentum which will escalate as central banks, primary dealers, funds and individual investors try to cut loses. To give you an idea of the downside risk of holding a 10 year Treasury should rates rise by 3.00-percent or return to where they should be at 4.86-percent, the 10 years price would fall by 23-percent, allowing the Fed or Treasury to buy back the same $100,000 10 year sold for $77,000.

As 5 to 30-year rates rise, short term rates as well, the Fed works to

contain inflation and to slow further U.S. dollar devaluation. The end result will be: They’ve cut the debt service cost in half and locked it in longer term “fixed” financing for the debt. They’ve increased tax revenue through inflation and further reduced the national debt in constant dollars. The Fed and the Treasury will be able to buy back these issues at discounted prices using dollars that are worth less and created out of thin air with keypunch entries further reducing the national debt.

I’d do the same thing if my objective was to protect the banks and politicians not their customers or constituents. The Fed is private, set up by bankers for the benefit and protection of bankers.

‘Tolerance & Inclusion’ forums in Laconia intended to avert ‘uncivil’ discourse; public participation welcomed

BY ADAM DRAPCHO LACONIA — The forums on Tuesday and Wednesday night were scheduled months in advance of the appearance of hateful graffiti last week in Concord.

However, the hand-scrawled, xenophobic rants left on the homes of political refugees in that city, said forum organizers, serve as a case-in-point as to why it is important for Laconia to discuss how those with different backgrounds are viewed and treated within the community.

The two forums, each preceded by a community meal, will feature presenters Lecia Brooks and Michele Marsh Garcia of the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights organization. They were invited by the Laconia Human Rights Committee, a citysponsored committee that includes representatives from schools, police, social service agencies and which includes the Refugee Connections Committee.

Carol Pierce, a member of the Human Rights Committee, said the group became concerned about the apparent assassination attempt in January of Gabrielle Giffords, a U.S. Senator representing Arizona. If something like that could happen in Arizona, it could happen in New Hampshire, said Pierce. She felt that the tone of public discourse could incite violence. “With all the uncivil, intolerant discussions happening in New Hampshire, we thought maybe we could do something,” she said.

By inviting the speakers, Pierce explained, the committee hoped to begin a discussion that would result in greater inclusion of city residents, especially those who don’t fit the prototypical Laconia mold. Presently, in her view, some of the unconventional residents are merely tolerated. “We don’t want to get stuck on tolerance, we want to move to inclusiveness.”

“There’s a big gap between tolerance and inclusion,” she continued. “How we read democracy, how we feel about democracy and its inclusion part is something we need to talk about.”

Instead of waiting for something like the Concord graffiti incident to occur, Laconia Police Chief Chris Adams said “this is more of a pro-active” event, designed to “gauge the feeling of the community.”

The pair from the Southern Poverty Law Center will be in town on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 4 and 5. Brooks and Garcia will work with middle school and high school students and staff during the daytime hours. On each of the two evenings, members of the public will be invited to a 6 p.m. supper followed by a presentation.

On Tuesday, the dinner and presentation will take place at the Laconia Middle School. The discussion will begin at 7 p.m. and will be titled “Promoting Respectful Schools.” Day care and activities will be provided for children.

Middle School Principal Jim McCollum said the philosophy of the Southern Poverty Law Center aligns well with the current anti-bullying campaign at the school. “Our schools are a microcosm of the community... We’re excited to be working with such an outstanding organization.”

Wednesday evening’s public dinner and presentation will be held at Lakes Region Community College’s cafeteria. Dinner will be served at 6 p.m., with the presentation scheduled for 6:30 to 8:30. This presentation, titled “The State of Hate and Intolerance in America,” will delve deeper into the topic than appropriate for the middle school venue and will lay groundwork for further discussion.

Organizers stressed that the evening events are open to any and all members of the community – including those that may disagree with the premise that divisive, uncivil discourse could lead to acts of violence. “Everybody’s welcome,” said Adams.

“That’s a part of it, just to get a group of people to talk about it.”

By the conclusion of the Wednesday night event, said Pierce, a means for furthering the discussion will be explained. “We plan to have ongoing conversations from this,” she said.

INMATES from page one gest problem is to receive this letter in this tone without ever having a conversation. Of course, there is no such policy,” he insisted.

Clairmont called the policy “unethical” and said that “to arbitrarily release an inmate early or temporarily to avoid the responsibility of their medical

expenses, simply takes advantage of a legal loophole. Your action,” he continued “places our health care system at risk.”

Furthermore, Clairmont charged “the county places our community at great risk” by petitioning the court for the early release of inmates. He cited see next page

Gilford High Class of 2008 provided seed money for new garden courtyard

BY ADAM DRAPCHO THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

GILFORD — It was three years ago that the Gilford High School Class of 2008 left a gift to the newly-formed Environmental Club. The gift was a few thousand dollars to be spent creating a “green space” in the courtyard outside of the cafeteria. On Wednesday, the courtyard, which has developed into an attractive, mature garden of flowering bushes and shrubs, was formally dedicated to the class whose gift made the improvement possible.

Present at the ceremony was Laurie Sanborn, a member of the Class of 2008. “We just wanted to leave something that would last and that other people would enjoy,” she said. Seniors are permitted to eat their lunch in the courtyard.

Prior to the class’s gift and the environmental club’s work, the area featured a dirt lot adorned with outcroppings of crabgrass. Today, the courtyard bears a healthy lawn and carefully maintained

perennial garden.

The Environmental Club was founded four years ago. It’s responsible for creating the school’s recycling program, which now recycles enough material to fill an eight-yard dumpster every two weeks.

Starting a recycling program and planting a garden are two different things, and club president Sarah Anderson said the success of the project couldn’t have been possible without help. “We didn’t know what to do with plants,” she said.

Fortunately, help was found in abundance at the Belknap Landscape Company, said club adviser

Polly Rouhan. The Gilford-based company provided countless dollars of in-kind donations, including but not limited to: guidance, instruction, labor, equipment, plants and yard upon yard of bark mulch.

As part of the ceremony, Sanborn unveiled a plaque dedicating the courtyard to her class. The plaque features one of the club’s favored quotes, attributed to Mohandas Ghandi: “Be the change you want to see in the world.”

Rouhan closed the ceremony by saying, “I hope that you continue to be agents of positive change as you continue in your lives.”

CANTALOUPE from page 2 can’t confirm it’s not Jensen Farms, then it’s best to throw it out.”

Jensen Farms of Holly, Colo. says it shipped cantaloupes to 25 states, though the FDA has said it

may be more, and illnesses have been discovered in several states that were not on the shipping list.

A spokeswoman for Jensen Farms said the company’s product is often sold and resold, so they do not always know where it went.

from preceding page the recent case of David Halterman.

In August, Halterman was being held on cash only bail awaiting a hearing on charges he violated the terms of his probation and fraudulent use of a credit card. While in jail he made two trips to Lakes Region General Hospital. On August 12, his attorney asked the court to release him on personal recognizance bail with an electronic monitoring bracelet, noting that “staff from the Belknap County House of Corrections has informed within counsel that Mr. Halterman suffered from a stroke and may require medical attention.”

The attorney told the court that Halterman sought an evaluation from a neurologist in Manchester and any necessary subsequent care.

The county attorney did not object to his release, which the court granted on August 12. On September 9, Halterman removed the bracelet and fled the state only to be arrested in New Jersey four days later.

Clairmont acknowledged that the case ended favorably, but not without placing costs on the taxpayers and posing risks to the community. “This entire case could and should have been avoided,” he wrote, “if you did not establish the policy to avoid inmate medical expenses. It is time to own your responsibility,” he declared.

Philpot acknowledged that “we do the very best we can to manage the county’s expenses in the best interests of our taxpayers, but the superintendent of corrections and the county attorney would not to do anything to jeopardize the public or place anyone, including inmates, at risk.” He insisted that neither the county convention nor the county commission have encouraged, let alone directed, either the superintendent of corrections or the county attorney to ease bail conditions or recommend early release to escape the cost of medical care for inmates.

“I don’t even know what policy he is talking about,” insisted Philpot.

Philpot repeated that county officials are charged with managing the costs of incarceration, including medical expenses. “We’re constantly looking at ways to do that,” he said. But, he explained that “inmates are reclassified for all sorts of reasons” and stressed that while shifting their medical expenses from the county to the hospital might be a consequence of reclassification it was the cause.

“The county must care for inmates under certain circumstances and the hospital must care for inmates under certain circumstances,” Philpot said.

“I’m sorry the cost sometimes falls on the hospital, but there’s no free lunch.”

Philpot said that commissioners received Clairmont’s letter yesterday. He anticipated the issue would be on the agenda at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the commission on Wednesday, October 5.

LRGHeathcare is aggressively seeking to control its costs in anticipation of foregoing operating revenues and incurring tax liabilities amounting to $9-million as the result of changes in the Medicaid program made by the Legislature.

Job fair? No, let’s have a fair for people who might be in a position to create new jobs

By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — A larger than expected turnout for a business resource fair held at the Margate Resort Wednesday has organizers set to hit the repeat button for next year.

“We’re looking at making this an annual event. We had over 100 people turn out, many who registered during the last couple of days,” said Karmen Gifford of the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, which along with the Belknap County Economic Development Council organized the event.

She said that the fair was an outgrowth of an idea from First District Congressman’s Frank Guinta’s office, which wanted to take part in an event which would be seen as helping to stimulate the local economy.

“Originally it was proposed as a jobs fair, but employers didn’t like the idea of taking part in an event like that when they really had no jobs to offer.

So we decided to feature the resources available to small and start-up businesses which are creating jobs,” said Gifford.

Guinta was the keynote speaker and said that people should be optimistic about the economy

“despite the issues we face nationally.”

“You, not Washington, will create jobs” said Guinta, who said that getting people back to work and consumer confidence are the keys to to an economic recovery.

He said that predictability when it comes to tax policy, regulatory policy and access to capital are important elements that businesses need in order to start hiring new workers.

Guinta observed that with interest rates at historic lows it is a good time to start new businesses or expand existing ones.

Following his brief remarks, break-out workshops were held, one concentrating on translating business ideas into income and the other on the options available for obtaining the financing needed for growing small businesses.

Ryan Barton of Mainstay Technologies in Laconia, one of the workshop speakers, said that he grew up in an entrepreneurial environment and started a couple of businesses before specializing in the information technology field.

EPA officials will tour state school property

By Michael Kitch THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

LACONIA — Accompanied by municipal officials, representatives of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will tour the site of the former Laconia State School next week in anticipation of considering the city’s application for a grant to undertake an environmental assessment of the property.

Planning Director Shanna Saunders said yesterday that the city applied to the EPA’s so-called Brownfields Program, designed to fund assessments and remediation of contaminated sites, but was denied a grant this year for lack of sufficient funding. However, Alan Peterson, Brownfields Project Officer in the EPA’s Boston office, encouraged the city to reapply, expecting that funds would be available in the next federal fiscal year, which begins in October. At the same time, he asked to visit the property.

Saunders said that Peterson and two of his colleagues will tour the property on Thursday, October 6, beginning at 10 a.m. They will be joined by Saunders, City Councilor Matt Lahey (Ward 2), who chaired the commission convened by the Legislature to consider the future of the property and initiated the effort by the city to acquire, Kimon Koulet, executive director of the Lakes Region Planning Commission, City Manager Scott Myers and perhaps others.

The site consists of three tax parcels. The largest, consisting of 212-acres with frontage on North Main Street (Route 106) and Meredith Center Road, houses approximately 26 buildings and five accessory structures. The other two lots, a 7.5-acre parcel at the junction of Meredith Center Road and Lane from preceding page employees and that gives him a great deal of personal satisfaction “to build something I really enjoy.”

Barton said that welcoming new challenges is a big part of starting a business and keeping it vital.

“If I’m not being stretched every day, something is going wrong.’’

Cindi Ingalls, who is starting a pet resort in Center Harbor, joked that her life “is going to the dogs’’ and said that taking advantage of the assistance available from the local SCORE chapter was a key to obtaining the financing she needed to start her business.

“I couldn’t have approached a bank without their help and insight,’’ said Ingalls, who said that developing a realistic business plan is a must for those who want to obtain financing.

She said that being tenacious and “doing everything you can to make it happen” is an important part of the mentality needed to start your own business.

Leslie Sturgeon, founder of Women Inspiring

Road and a 10.4-acre parcel bounded by North Main Street and Old North Main Street, are both vacant. The largest parcel has an assessed value of $23.3-million. The 10.4-acre parcel is assessed at $241,700 and the 7.5-acre parcel at $125,600.

An initial assessment of the site by Credere, LLC of Westbrook, Maine indicated that there were typical but significant environmental concerns, most of them confined to the some 75-acres where virtually all the buildings stand. Soils and and groundwater are likely contaminated by petroleum products and possibly other hazardous materials and asbestos, lead paint and other contaminants are present in the buildings. Credere reported that a thorough investigation, estimated to cost from $200,000 to $300,000, was required to determine what remedial action would be necessary.

A grant from the Brownfields Program would fund a more extensive environmental assessment, which would provide the information and data required to estimate the cost of cleaning up the site.

Earlier this year, the Legislature offered the property to the city for $10-million. The state, as the owner of the property, is not eligible for the Brownfields Program. In negotiating with the state to acquire the property, the city believes that the environmental conditions on the site and the cost of correcting them will effect its ultimate value.

The city commissioned an appraisal by Russ Thibeault of Applied Economic Research. He appraised 137 acres north of Right Way Path, which bisects the main parcel, but not the remaining 75 acres housing most of the buildings.

Following the breakout sessions those attending reconvened for a marketing and promotion session at which Nicole Hogan of Creative Marketing Guru and Allen Voivoid of Epiphanies Inc. described how new social media such as Facebook and Twitter are changing the ways in which businesses market themselves.

Hogan urged business owners to understand their own business and know its target audience before creating a marketing plan and then to measure everything after that to see if the plan is working, Voivoid said that people who market through the web and Facebook must continually create new content in order to encourage interaction and that social media can be the most effective marketing tool for businesses that know how to use it well.

Texas mom to plead guilty to killing young son in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — A Texas woman accused of killing her 6-year-old son in New Hampshire and disposing of his body in rural Maine will plead guilty to killing him, court officials said.

Forty-two-year-old Julianne McCrery will plead guilty to second-degree murder in the death of her son, Camden Hughes.

Her lawyers did not immediately return messages left by The Associated Press. McCrery pleaded not guilty in May and has since waived all other court appearances.

A Rockingham Superior Court clerk confirmed McCrery has filed a notice of intent to plead guilty and will be sentenced to 45 years to life in prison. No date has been set for her to formally enter her plea.

The discovery of Camden’s body under a blanket on a dirt road in South Berwick, Maine, on May 14 launched a nationwide effort to identify him. Even as that effort was under way, McCrery called his Irving, Texas, elementary school daily to report him absent.

Camden died of asphyxiation, according to a medical examiner. He and his mother had stayed in a New Hampshire motel the weekend his body was discovered.

Texas public records show that McCrery was

arrested at least twice on prostitution charges and once for possession with intent to distribute drugs.

In 2009, she was sentenced to one year in prison for a misdemeanor conviction of prostitution. In 2004, she was sentenced to three years of probation for a felony conviction of possession of a controlled substance.

Law enforcement authorities and friends have portrayed McCrery as a loving but troubled mother whose mood swings often prompted her to take lengthy road trips. It was on one of those trips, New Hampshire prosecutors say, that McCrery killed her son at a Hampton, N.H., motel. His body was found just over the border in Maine.

McCrery was arrested at a Chelmsford, Mass., rest stop on May 17 after being spotted by a trucker.

A lawyer who represented her at a brief court appearance in Massachusetts has said he got the impression from McCrery that her intent was to take her son’s life and then kill herself.

“I believe she was there to bring both herself and her son to heaven,” attorney George Murphy said in May. “She told me, ‘I love my son very much. I know where he is. He’s in heaven, and I want to go there as soon as possible.’”

GPD from page one ganized the department.

He began his career with the N.H. Marine Patrol in 1989 and became a full-time municipal police officer with Alton in 1993.

In 1994, he joined the Gilford Police and worked his way through the ranks serving as a patrol officer, DARE officer, detective, detective sergeant and now deputy chief.

Keenan said the challenges he faces as chief are the same as those faced by all police chiefs and department heads — maintaining the highest levels of service, standards and public safety within a municipal budget.

He said selectmen will not fill the deputy chief’s position and with Markland’s retirement, the department will operate with 16 and not 17 certified police officers.

Keenan said he will likely restructure his depart-

ment internally to accommodate the elimination of the deputy chief position.

HUD from page one Attorney General Michael Delaney Office.

“I knew people were coming to the office and looking at their files,” Saunders said.

On Tuesday, Delaney filed for a injunction in Belknap County Superior Court against Brady Sullivan, asking them to stop selling new homes in Paugus Woods and to make the corrections identified by the state fire marshal who also oversees modular construction.

The suit also asks that people with unresolved complaints be allowed to contract for their own repairs, if they want, and have Brady Sullivan pay for them.

Saunders said the Villa at Paugus Woods was originally approved by the city planning board in 2006 as a cluster subdivision for a U.S. Department of Housing Urban Development-supported middleincome, single-family manufactured homes.

“I think when this was approved these had HUD stamped on it,” she said, noting that manufactured housing backed by federally-backed loans comes built to HUD standards and doesn’t required local inspections except for site work, like roads, drainage and the sewer systems and hookups to services like electricity, water and sewage.

Speaking on background, a local builder said HUD-approved projects are generally overseen by independent contract inspectors and if the city participated it would be with an outside contractor inspector paid for by the builder.

“HUD is government funded and everything is built to their codes and specs,” he said. “The things come in boxes with all the electrical and plumbing already done.”

Former city contract code enforcement officer Jim VanValkenburgh explained the process in an e-mail to The Daily Sun yesterday.

He said modular home ares engineered and built in factories and the design engineers and subcontractors are the ones responsible for design defects.

They are transported by trailers and erected by cranes on foundations designed by the engineers.

“Each modular house also has a manufacturer’s sticker number with an identification number on the outside usually mounted on a door jamb,” he said.

“This means it was acceptable to our department of safety,” he said adding the N.H. Department of Safety has the oversight because modulars homes and manufactured homes, unlike conventional “stickbuilt” homes are delivered over the highways.

He said under modular housing laws, the manufacturer, developer, and engineers are responsible for the final product sold to the comsumer.

As for the role of the municipal government in modular housing developments, he said that role is to perform the inspections of and see next page from preceding page $1,063,200. The report notes that if an equivalent land value of $6,100 per acre were applied to the remaining 75 acres, discarding the value of the buildings, the total value of the main parcel would approach $1.5-million, slightly less than the $1.7-million assessed land value carried by the city and far less than $10-million price set by the Legislature..

Florida poised to set GOP primary for Jan. 31 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida is poised to hold its presidential primary on Jan. 31, a move that likely would mean an earlier start to the GOP nominating contests than what the national Republican Party had planned.

House Speaker Dean Cannon on Wednesday said that was the likely date for the Florida primary as the state works to ensure that it votes right behind the four that are the first to traditionally hold presidential primaries or caucuses — Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina.

The Republican said scheduling the primary for the last day of January would make Florida a major player in deciding the GOP nominee without jumping in front of those four states. He said Florida’s hand was forced by other states that have moved up their dates, including Missouri, which has set its primary for Feb. 7.

“It’s not a done deal,” Cannon said in a telephone interview. He noted that the tentative date could change if states other than the first four try to jump

or match Florida.

Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina have promised to protect their early voting status by moving their contests to earlier in the year if needed.

South Carolina Republican Party chairman Chad Connelly, who has sole authority to set a date, plans to hold a news conference Thursday. He said “it’s likely” he will announce a date for South Carolina’s primary. Georgia’s secretary of state also has scheduled an announcement for Thursday.

“We’re going to be the first in the South primary,” Connelly said.

Cannon said he has been consulting with Republican Party officials and the offices of Florida Senate President Mike Haridopolos, R-Merritt Island, and Republican Gov. Rick Scott.

Haridopolos believes a Jan. 31 primary would accomplish the goal of giving Florida a pivotal role in the selection of the next Republican presidential nominee, said his spokeswoman, Lyndsey Cruley.

from preceding page approve what is on the house site, including foundations, electrical service, drainage, plumbing connections and the like but that everything is designed by the modular housing engineers and built by subcontractors according to design specifications.

In the case of Paugus Woods, Vanvalkenburgh said that in at least five of the original complaints, the fault was “not a defective foundation, but a design problem.”

He also said Brady Sullivan corrected the defects in five original complaints and the most common error was the fault of the design engineer.

He said the as the contracted code enforcement

officer, all inspections were made as mandated by Laconia’s adopted International Residential Code of 2006 and that he does not agree with the allegations in Delaney’s lawsuit that says life-safety issues are compromised.

“I would not sign a certificate of occupancy without it meeting the minimum code standards of the residential building code,” he wrote.

In a statement reported by the Associated Press, Arthur Sullivan of Brady Sullivan said his company has done nothing wrong and that his company has cooperated with the state. He said all of the homes met inspection standards when sold.

SILVER from page 2 a low-tax, limited-regulation business environment to make the state more competitive.

“While this report assumes that one in three New Hampshire residents will be above the age of 65, we feel by creating a positive business environment it will bring young people to New Hampshire and we have begun that process this term,” said O’Brien.

O’Brien also said the Legislature is looking at a comprehensive managed care program for Medicaid recipients.

Norton said the cost shifts in health care will force health care providers to negotiate higher costs with private insurance companies since Medicare and Medicaid payments do not cover their costs. He said those higher private premium costs will fall on a shrinking population of workers as businesses decide how much they can afford and how much they will pass onto workers.

“There will be more pressure on the private

market to pay and at the same time there will be a smaller market (of workers),” said Norton.

The study also said more of residents’ disposable income will be spent on health care services instead of goods as the percentage of the population ages. Norton said that means the state’s economy will be more sensitive to increases in health care than it is now.

Populations will age differently in different parts of the state, Norton said. The population in Coos County is aging in place, meaning there is little migration of young people into the county. On the other hand, Carroll County is aging because people are retiring there to enjoy its amenities, he said.

Norton said a key to the balance between young and old is how many people aged 30-50 move into the state. That in-migration has declined recently, possibly due to the recession, he said.

Norton said the study is intended to encourage policymakers to begin discussing the issue now and not in 10 years when it becomes a crisis.

Orioles rally in 9th to beat Boston 4-3; Rays beat Yankees 8-7 in 12 innings BALTIMORE (AP) — The Boston Red Sox completed their September collapse in horrific and historic fashion, falling out of the playoff chase by allowing two ninth-inning runs in a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.

The Red Sox held a nine-game lead in the AL wildcard race after Sept. 3, but a 7-19 swoon left them tied with Tampa Bay entering the final day of the regular season.

Only minutes after this game ended, the Rays completed their comeback from a 7-0 deficit with an 8-7 win over the New York Yankees in 12 innings.

Even if Tampa Bay lost, the Red Sox faced the prospect of a quick turnaround following a long night at Camden Yards that included a rain delay of 1 hour, 26 minutes in the middle of the seventh inning. When the rain came, Tampa Bay trailed 7-0.

By the time play resumed, the Rays and Yankees were tied at 7 heading into the 10th inning.

The Orioles won the game in the ninth against Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon (4-1), who struck out the first two batters before giving up a double to Chris Davis. Nolan Reimold followed with a double to score pinch-runner Kyle Hudson, and Robert Andino completed the comeback with a single to left that Carl Crawford couldn’t glove.

Boston became the first team to miss the postsea-

son after leading by as many as nine games for a playoff spot entering September, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Dustin Pedroia homered for the Red Sox, who went through the entire month of September without winning consecutive games.

Pitching on three days’ rest, Jon Lester limited the last-place Orioles to two runs and four hits over six gritty innings. But it wasn’t enough to prevent the Red Sox from absorbing one final blow.

Boston had several chances to pad a 3-2 lead it took in the fifth inning but was never able to complete the task.

After Pedroia hit a solo homer off Alfredo Simon in the fifth, the Orioles got the potential tying run to third base in the bottom half and in the sixth before Lester worked out of trouble.

In the seventh, Boston’s David Ortiz was thrown out trying to stretch a single, and with two outs rookie catcher Ryan Lavanway bounced into a fielder’s choice.

Lavanway, who homered twice in an 8-7 win Tuesday, went 0 for 5 and stranded nine runners.

The Red Sox blew another chance to increase the lead in the eighth when Marco Scutaro took off from first base on a double by Crawford. But Scutaro stutter-stepped before getting to third and was out at the plate.

CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire public health officials say they are concerned about a surge in the number of wild mushroom poisonings in the state.

The state Department of Health and Human Services says the number of emergency room visits attributed to eating wild mushrooms has jumped from eight in 2009, to 11 in 2010 to 31 this year.

Eighteen of those have come this month.

Director Dr. Jose Montero says wild mushroom

poisonings are usually limited to children and young adults, but he says officials are now seeing people of all ages showing up in hospitals.

He says people should be careful because many toxic mushrooms look like the safe ones, and there is an abundance of mushrooms because of the recent wet weather.

Symptoms including abdominal pain, vomiting, fever and diarrhea.

APPEAL from page 2 Repeating arguments it has made in courts across the country in response to many challenges to the law, the administration said Congress was well within its constitutional power to enact the insurance requirement.

Disagreeing with that, the 26 states and business group said in their filings that the justices should act before the 2012 presidential election because of uncertainty over costs and requirements.

On the issue of timing, their cause got an unexpected boost from retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, who said voters would be better off if they knew the law’s fate law before casting

their ballots next year.

The 91-year-old Stevens said in an Associated Press interview that the justices would not shy away from deciding the case in the middle of a presidential campaign and would be doing the country a service. “It would be better to have that known about than be speculated as a part of the political argument,” Stevens said in his Supreme Court office overlooking the Capitol.

Though the Atlanta appeals court struck down the individual insurance requirement, it upheld the rest of the law. The states and the business group say that would still impose huge new costs.

Julie’s story one of many inspirations for Sunday’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk-a-thon LACONIA — In June of 2007, Julie Ziraldo went for her annual mammogram and a lump on her chest wall was discovered. A biopsy was taken and it was diagnosed as stage 4 breast cancer. She was a wife and mother of two daughters. She was also the sister of John Malm, vice president of Relationship Banking & Financial Services at Meredith Village Savings Bank.

“Up until that time, I saw several women I know become diagnosed and survive breast cancer,” said Malm. “I know that the process of chemo and radiation was going to be difficult, but I just figured she would survive like all others that I knew, like my sister-in-law, who was diagnosed six to seven years prior,” he continued. Malm had donated to the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer annual fundraiser in previous years, in support of the many women who are survivors of the disease. What he didn’t know yet was what these people had to go through to survive breast cancer and that once a survivor didn’t mean always a survivor — there was always the risk that it could return.

Julie followed up her diagnosis with a lumpectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. She was then given a clean bill of health — a reason to celebrate. She, too, had become a survivor of breast cancer.

But, at her first six-month check-up, after being declared cancer-free, she was experiencing back pain and a tumor was discovered not only in her spine, but also in her liver. She was diagnosed with terminal metastasized breast cancer, meaning that it had spread into other areas of her body. She began radiation and chemotherapy again in an attempt to slow the process and to keep any tumors from developing any further.

“Still, she didn’t lose her sense of humor and zest for life,” Malm remarked. In 2008, she decided to create a “bucket list” — a short list of things that she still wanted to accomplish. One of her goals was to take a family vacation. Although tired and weak from cancer treatments, Julie, along with her husband and daughters, went to Italy and had a great time together. They created wonderful memories that will last with her two daughters.

Early in 2009, two years after her first diagnosis, a tumor was found in Julie’s brain. This was her greatest fear. Over the next several months, she underwent gamma knife radiosurgery twice on her brain and a spinal surgery in an attempt to relieve the pressure on her spinal cord, in addition to continuing chemo and radiation therapies. The cancer was aggressive and new tumors kept appearing. In Oct/Nov of 2009, she was taken off of all conventional treatments — they just weren’t working anyCondo Assoc., Mobile Home Parks House Lots, Land Clearing, Island Work Big or Small We Cut Them All!

more as her existing tumors continued to grow and new tumors presented themselves in her spine, liver, brain and lungs.

At this point, with conventional treatments being exhausted, Julie wasn’t sure how long she was going to survive, but her determination to keep fighting the disease didn’t waiver and she had set herself a goal to see her youngest daughter graduate from high school. At the time, her youngest was a junior.

Julie made the decision to participate in several phase one clinical trials. A phase one clinical trial’s primary goal is to assess a drug’s safety as it is introduced for the first time in humans. She knew that these trials would not save her, but felt that this would be her way to help others with breast cancer.

If she couldn’t save her own life, maybe she could help to save others.

In October of 2008, Malm decided to help the cause in his own way by participating for the first time in the Making Strides annual walk. He did it in dedication and support of his sister and all that she was going through. Sharing Julie’s story on the Making Strides website, Malm raised a significant amount of money for the cause in each of the years thereafter.

In 2010, the experimental treatments took their toll on Julie. She was removed from the trials as she experienced seizures and other side effects. Eventually Julie lost her mobility, her speech was slurred, and tumors were continuing to develop in her brain and spine. Later that year, the decision was made to stop treatments all together. While doctors were reluctant to provide a specific time frame for survival, Julie had formed a personal bond with one of her nurses who felt compelled to answer the question that so many would not. According to that nurse, Julie would likely not finish out the year. see next page Auto Boats Health

from preceding page In November of 2010, a month after Malm participated in his 3rd annual Making Strides walk, he went to visit his sister. It was right before Thanksgiving. They shared some quality time together. Within a week of that visit, Julie lost her fight with breast cancer on November 19, 2010. Julie was 49 years old and is survived by her husband Jim, two daughters Alison ages 20 and Katie 17, and her parents and two siblings, not to mention many friends. She died peacefully in her home with family by her side.

This is not an easy story to share, but one that needs to be told. Not everyone becomes a long-time survivor of breast cancer. Julie was unable to reach her goal of seeing her youngest daughter graduate high school, but she did contribute to our larger goal of helping to find a cure for this terrible disease. It is a story of strength and perseverance. Julie may have lost her battle, but she did what she could to support those who are survivors, as well as those who are yet to be diag-

nosed. Breast cancer affects one in eight women in America today.

On Sunday, Oct. 2, the Greater Lakes Region Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, will take place in Laconia. Thousands of people will raise money and walk miles for the cause. Most will know of someone that has had, or currently has, breast cancer. Many will be survivors — and have a reason to celebrate their survivorship. You may see them walking — men, women and children — many adorned in pink. And when you do, remember Julie’s story. Remember the survivors. And remember how important it is to help find a cure for breast cancer.

If you want to support the Greater Lakes Region Making Strides Against Breast Cancer event or start a team or walk in the event, you can go to www. cancer.org/stridesonline or contact Ginny Witkin by email at vwitkin@ lrgh.org or by phone at 527-2940 or contact Rae Mello-Andrews at rmelloandrews@lrgh.org.

Lynn Elkinton honored quilter at annual quilting show Oct. 1-2

LACONIA — Accomplished fiber artist Lynn Elkinton of Gilford will be this year’s Honored Quilter at the annual Belknap Mill Quilter’s Guild Show Oct. 1 and 2 at the Conference Center at Lake Opechee Inn & Spa. A New Hampshire resident since 1977, Elkinton grew up in northern New Jersey surrounded by women who sewed and did handwork, absorbing their interest.

She defines Fiber Art as anything to do with sewing, a needle and thread, felting, quilting, collage, anything stitched or enhanced with stitching.

Her first project was a king-sized Log Cabin quilt she made for her waterbed 25 years ago. She had her first quilting lesson about 1989, when as a young mother of two she enrolled at a beginners class in the Adult Education Program taught by Hariette Bourdon, guild member.

“I love it, absolutely love it,” said Elkinton.

Although she has no favorites, she has since employed the foundation of design, drafting, sewing and quilting skills to progress from the appreciation of traditional quilting to contemporary and modern designs.

She continuously builds on these skills, seeking improvement through workshops, classes and lectures all over the country. She designs her own quilts, not relying on patterns, using classacquired techniques in their creation.

Quilted note cards, wall hangings, and quilt art are among her projects.

A member of the Belknap Mill Quilter’s Guild for more than 20 years, she is a member of the Fiber Divas, a small

“Anyone who comes to the show will get their fingers itching,” she said, positive that they will want to start a quilting project of their own. Lynn resides in Gilford with her husband, Dick, describing their household as including “a very old Dachshund and two bad cats who love fabric and thread almost as much she does.”

She will be set up all day Saturday and Sunday at the show, which will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m both days.

DAILY CROSSWORD TRIBUNE MEDIA SERVICES

by Paul Gilligan

by Darby Conley

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You have a different level of awareness and therefore will not follow the same path as those around you. You’ll do your own thing and find your own way of avoiding pitfalls and potholes.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21).

There is a wide spectrum of choices available to you, but they are not all so readily seen. You won’t really understand your options until you’ve experienced a few of them, so dive in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Your sacred wish will be mysteriously granted. If you asked 10 people why the practice of sacred wishing works, you would get 10 different answers, and all of them would be, in a way, true.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your DNA does dictate some aspects of your life, though perhaps not as many as you thought. You’ll embrace your physical gifts and find a way to frame your limitations that makes them seem like assets.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will be generous with your time and your creativity. This generosity is attractive to many, and you’ll have to be careful about whom you let into your life so as not to be taken advantage of.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 29).

Your professional life will be invigorated, and you will take pleasure in finding new ways to be useful to others when you are not working. You’ll receive unexpected gifts and money now through October. In 2011, creative projects are instrumental to a healing process. Romance is featured in April.

Aries and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 25, 38 and 10.

Get Fuzzy

By Holiday Mathis you.

TUNDRA

ARIES (March 21-April 19). People will follow and learn from you. You are someone people want to be like. You will effortlessly provide quality education and responsible recreation. It’s just who you are.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a network of friends, but you are not dependent on them and do not feel the need to be in constant contact with them. Because you are your own person, you have more to give your friends.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’ll chuckle wisely and walk with the shamans. Maybe you’ll get caught up in the race again or return to other kinds of silliness tomorrow. But for now, you’re peacefully “over” it all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re on a roll, and the momentum will continue to build as long as you don’t interrupt it. You stay focused on what’s going great in your life, and the great happenings just keep coming.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You are helpful by nature to such a degree that you can hardly hold back your help from anyone who appears to need it.

You should be careful not to assume people are in need, though. Ask to be sure.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know that your life has a purpose, but you’re not always sure exactly what that purpose is and how you could manifest it to the greatest effect. You’ll get some clarity on the matter today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Keep marching forward. Don’t tiptoe, and don’t run. The best approach will be steady, temperate, measured and determined. If you are working with a team, they easily will fall in step with

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Thursday, Sept. 29, the 272nd day of 2011. There are 93 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 29, 1789, the U.S. War Department established a regular army with a strength of several hundred men.

On this date: In 1829, London’s reorganized police force, which became known as Scotland Yard, went on duty.

In 1907, the foundation stone was laid for the Washington National Cathedral, which wasn’t fully completed until this date in 1990.

In 1918, Allied forces began their decisive breakthrough of the Hindenburg Line during World War I. In 1938, British, French, German and Italian leaders concluded the Munich Agreement, which was aimed at appeasing Adolf Hitler by allowing Nazi annexation of Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland.

In 1957, the New York Giants played their last game at the Polo Grounds, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates, 9-1. (The Giants moved to San Francisco.)

In 1982, Extra-Strength Tylenol capsules laced with cyanide claimed the first of seven victims in the Chicago area. (To date, the case remains unsolved.)

In 1986, the Soviet Union released Nicholas Daniloff, an American journalist confined on spying charges.

In 2005, John G. Roberts Jr. was sworn in as the nation’s 17th chief justice after winning Senate confirmation.

One year ago: Anti-austerity protests erupted across Europe; Greek doctors and railway employees walked off the job, Spanish workers shut down trains and buses, and one man rammed a cement truck into the Irish parliament to protest the country’s enormous bank bailouts.

Today’s Birthdays: Actress Lizabeth Scott is 89. Actor Steve Forrest is 86.

Actress Anita Ekberg is 80. Writer-director Robert Benton is 79. Singer Jerry Lee Lewis is 76. Actor Ian McShane is 69. Jazz musician Jean-Luc Ponty is 69. Actress Patricia Hodge is 65.

The organization is currently in need of more volunteers. To receive a volunteer application, sign up for the class, or for more information, call the Center Harbor, Meredith, and Moultonborough Community Caregivers office at 253-9275.

GILFORD — The Gunstock Mountain Historic Preservation Society will be hosting an open house at the ski jumps located at Gunstock Mountain Resort on Saturday, October 1, from 10 a.m. until noon.

Members from the society’s board of directors will be on hand to explain the organization’s efforts to preserve the jumps and to answer questions that the public may have about the use and history of these structures. Gunstock’s largest jump will celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2012.

“We feel it is important for the public to be able to ask questions and to be able to view the jumps before winter when they are covered with snow,” explained Carol Anderson, president of the preservation society. “We’ve also discovered that quite a few people don’t even realize that there are ski jumps at Gunstock, and for those who do, many don’t know the

wonderful history connected to them,” she added.

Also on hand will be board members, Bernie Dion and Lisa Kling, both knowledgeable in the sport of ski jumping. Kling’s son was a top ski jumper while in high school and learned to jump at Gunstock.

Dion has spent his entire lifetime being involved in ski jumping, went to the 1960 Winter Olympics representing this country in the sport, and for decades was an FIS jumping official and judge.

A rain date is scheduled for Saturday, October 22.

The preservation society was founded in 2009 in order to work on the restoration of the largest ski jump located at Gunstock. Since then, the organization’s mission expanded to include the restoration of all four jumps and the preservation of all of Gunstock’s history and the ski history of Belknap County.

For more information about this event or GMHPS, please visit historicgunstock.org or call: 737-4360.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 29, 2011— Page 21

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: I have been married to “George” for 11 years. In the past two, George and I have had sex only three times. Lately, when I go to kiss him, he turns away.

I have asked George if there is someone else or if he has a medical issue, but he denies both. I’ve been told I am quite attractive, but he seems interested only in the financial stability I provide. I am so frustrated. The only thing keeping me here is that I am taking classes at a local college and am close to finishing. I would like to save my marriage, but can’t do it by myself. Am I wasting my time? I don’t get the impression that George even likes me, let alone loves me. -- Need an Outsider’s Insight Dear Need: If George thinks he has a medical problem, he should be willing to see a doctor -- and you should encourage him to do so. If he were having an affair or if he were gay, however, he might not tell you. Get some counseling and figure out whether it is worth staying in this loveless marriage.

Dear Annie: My sister is getting married next spring.

My husband and I are excited for her, but we live in the Midwest, and they are getting married in Hawaii.

My husband and I don’t make much money. We’ve been saving for three years to go to Hawaii on our anniversary in January. We would prefer to go on our own vacation rather than deplete our savings in order to attend my sister’s wedding. To be fair, it didn’t cost my sister a dime to attend my wedding, and even she has admitted that she was a lousy maid of honor -- rude and demanding.

Now my sister is furious that we are not planning to attend. She has demanded that I put my student loans into forbearance, get a second job, go without my husband, or

that we use our vacation funds.

I feel that if she wants to have a destination wedding, great, but she can’t expect people to spend that kind of money, and she has no right to dictate how others choose to spend their money. She has been quite nasty to me and is badmouthing us to our friends and family. Am I wrong not to spend our money for her wedding? -- Frustrated with Finances Dear Frustrated: We will admit that your sister sounds like a selfish spoiled brat, but we also believe one should make every effort to attend major family events. You already have the money saved up to go to Hawaii. Why not combine your vacation with her wedding? After the rest of the guests go home (or before they arrive), you and your husband can enjoy the trip you planned, even if it is not on the exact day you wanted. This is what family members do when they love each other (although your sister certainly doesn’t make it easy).

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Suffering Soon-toBe Ex,” whose wife left him after he made the incredible blunder of saying he wished he’d found his wife’s sister first.

A few years ago, my co-worker made a huge mistake during a business conference call. The very next day, he wrote on the white board in his office, “Think fast. Talk slow.”

I thought you might want to pass this sage advice along to your readers. We were able to save the client. I hope “Soon” is as fortunate. -- Slow Talker Dear Slow: We hope so, too. Thanks for the excellent words to live by.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Thursday, September 29, 2011— Page 23

October looks to be busy month for Gilmanton Community Church GILMANTON — October will be another active month at the Gilmanton Community Church with activities scheduled for people of all ages.

Sunday School starts at the Iron Works Church on October 2 with a new “Hands-On Curriculum” for all children. Classes will begin at 10 a.m. Classes for

GILFORD — Barbara and Guy Contois of the Sticks & Stones Farm in Center Barnstead raise more than rabbits; they raise gardens vertically, hanging horizontally, without soil in PVC pipes filled with rich mineral solutions in water– the hydroponic way.

They believe growing up to as many as 120 plants per pipe and without weeds using an Indonesian fiber in a controlled environment produces a yield in five acres equal to 20 acres planted in a conventional method. And the stones? That’s Guy’s wintertime hobby of turning stones into one-of-a-kind sculptures.

Barbara Contois will introduce Opechee Garden Club members to this method of growing vegetables, fruits and herbs in limited spaces at their meeting Monday, October 3, 1 p.m. at the Gilford Community Church on Potter Hill Road. Members are encouraged to bring guests and spouses.

Co-Chairs Gail Dyer and Lynne DeVivo and hostesses Esther Kratochvil, Jeannie Malone, Jane Rollins, Helen Sycovaris, Glennie McBride, Edythe Adams, Marie Austin, Sandy Morey, Sharon Hickey, MaureenBienarz-Pond, Audris Clark, Nancy Fuchs, Becky Gage, Marlene Gordon, Sharon Tyler and Iris Whitehorn will meet, greet and provide refreshments.

Members who plan to attend a workshop on building a Fairy House October 20, 10 a.m. -1 p.m. at the Gilford Public Library are reminded to gather materials – twigs, moss, bark, pine cones, acorns, feathers, and other gifts of nature. Tickets for the “Home for the Holidays” house tour on December 3 and 4 will be available and members may reserve their green wreathes.

The Opechee Garden Club meets the first Monday of each month at 1 p.m. at the Gilford Community Church and welcomes new members. Call 293-7357 or visit opecheegardenclub.com
