County will submit ‘bare bones’ budget that increases tax by 4%

BY MICHAEL KITCH

of

LACONIA, N.H.

LACONIA — After making a second round of cuts on Monday, the Belknap County Commission will recommend a budget of $26,570,997 for 2014 when it meets this morning. The budget represents

an increase appropriations of $182,030 or 0.7 percent and an increase in the amount to be raised by property taxes of $555,892 or 4 percent.

“We chopped like hell,” said Commissioner John Thomas of Belmont, who chairs the commission. “This is pretty much a

bare bones budget. We did all we could without laying people off and we will do anything not to lay people off in this economy. “ But, anticipating another uphill struggle to win approval of the budget from the Belknap County Convention, Thomas said “nothing will be enough for them.”

The total appropriation recommended by the commission is $3.2 million, or 10.6 percent, less than in 2008, while the amount to be raised by taxes is $173,450, or 1.2 percent, more than in 2008.

French officials want to punish clients of prostitutes

PARIS (AP) — France’s government is pushing one of Europe’s toughest laws against prostitution and sex trafficking, and other countries are watching closely. Advocates hope that a draft French law going to parliament Wednesday will help change long-held attitudes toward the world’s oldest profession — by punishing the customer and protecting the prostitute.

The bill, however, is facing resistance in a country with a libertine reputation and a Mediterranean macho streak, and has prompted petitions defending those who buy sex. Signatories include screen icon Catherine Deneuve — who played a prostitute in the cult film “Belle de Jour” — and crooner Charles Aznavour.

Prostitution is currently legal in France, but brothels, pimping and soliciting in public are illegal.

The bill has prompted debate about sex and sexism in France, where former International Monetary Fund chief see FRANCE page 10

Deadline extended for Anthem policy renewals in N.H. CONCORD (AP) — New Hampshire residents with individual insurance policies through Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield now have until mid-December to renew policies deemed substandard under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul law.

Anthem recently notified 22,000 customers that their plans were being cancelled, but could be renewed for another year. The original deadline for renewal was Nov. 15, but it has been pushed back twice, and now

is Dec. 16.

In the face of public uproar, Obama said earlier this month that consumers could renew their policies for one year as long as both their insurer and state regulators were willing. Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny gave the green-light on Monday and said consumers should contact their insurers for more information.

“Consumers should keep in mind, however, that federal financial assistance is only available for those buying coverage

through the federal healthcare.gov website,” he said.

Anthem is the dominant player in New Hampshire’s individual health care market and the only company selling policies through the new online markets created by the new law.

“The implementation of the Affordable Care Act and open enrollment is an extraordinary opportunity for the uninsured and those who struggle to afford coverage, and see INSURANCE page 3

WASHINGTON (AP) — Days after China asserted greater military control over a swath of the East China Sea to bolster claims to a cluster of disputed islands, the U.S. defied the move Tuesday as it flew two B-52 bombers through the area.

The U.S. said what it described as a training mission was not flown to respond to China’s latest military maneuver, yet the dramatic flights made clear that the U.S. will not recognize the new territorial claims that

Beijing laid out over the weekend.

The two unarmed U.S. B-52 bombers took off from their home base in Guam and flew through China’s newly designated air defense zone, then returned to base, U.S. officials said. The bombers were in the zone for less than an hour, thundering across the Pacific skies during midday there, the officials said, adding that the aircraft encountered no problems.

While the U.S. insisted the training mis-

sion was long-planned, it came just days after China issued a map and a new set of rules governing the zone, which includes a cluster of islands that are controlled by Japan but claimed by Beijing.

U.S. officials would not publicly acknowledge the flights on Tuesday, but State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said China’s move appeared to be an attempt to change the status quo in the East China Sea. see CHINA page 11

Search for new Gilford police chief starts with call for volunteers to serve on committee GILFORD — Selectmen are asking for volunteer residents to serve on a committee to help select the next town police chief.

The search committee will be tasked with reviewing applications, selecting candidates for interviews and making recommendations on finalists for a process that will commence in January of 2014.

Town Administrator Scott Dunn said yesterday that the vast majority of the decisions, discussions, and interviews made by panelists will be in nonpublic sessions under the provisions of RSA 91-A:3,

INSURANCE from page 2 it is transformational for our industry,” Anthem spokesman Chris Dugan said Tuesday. “While all other carriers have chosen to sit out the launch of the exchanges in New Hampshire, Anthem has been, and will continue to be, an essential player.”

The HealthCare.gov website serving 36 states, including New Hampshire, froze up the day it launched, and several states running their own sites have also experienced technology troubles. Fewer than 27,000 people were able to sign up during October in the federally-administered states, and another 79,000 in state-run programs.

Given the problems with the website, Sevigny also has extended New Hampshire’s high risk insurance pool, which serves 2,750 residents. It was scheduled to shut down Dec. 31, but will remain until alternatives are fully available through healthcare.gov, Sevigny said last week.

or the N.H. Right-to-Know law.

The need for a full-time permanent police chief was triggered by last week’s resignation of former Chief Kevin Keenan.

Keenan was placed on a paid administrative leave on August 29 and in the weeks immediately following his leave, Lt. James Leach has been acting chief.

Lt. Kris Kelley has been acting deputy chief.

The Police Department employs 17 full-time sworn officers and two part-time officers. Both the selectmen and the Budget Committee have given IRS from page 2

“This proposed guidance is a first critical step toward creating clear-cut definitions of political activity by tax-exempt social welfare organizations,” said Mark Mazur, treasury assistant secretary for tax policy. “We are committed to getting this right before issuing final guidance that may affect a broad group of organizations. It will take time to work through the regulatory process and carefully consider all public feedback as we strive to ensure that the standards for tax-exemption are clear and can be applied consistently.”

Organized under section 501(c)(4) of the tax code, such groups are able to raise millions of dollars to influence elections. But they can also be smallscale tea party groups, many of which say they were harassed by the IRS after seeking tax exempt status.

Selectmen have also given the nod to a $1.2 million addition to the existing police station at Town Hall, although the Budget Committee has yet to vote on it. There is an presentation to the Budget Committee by the architect on January 9 at 6 p.m.

Dave Camp, R-Mich., was skeptical of the administration’s move.

“There continues to be an ongoing investigation, with many documents yet to be uncovered, into how the IRS systematically targeted and abused conservative-leaning groups,” he said. “This smacks of the administration trying to shut down potential critics.”

The 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court decision lifted the limits on donations by labor unions and companies to 501(c)(4) groups, allowing Crossroads, the largest of them, to raise large sums outside the limits that apply to candidates’ campaigns and traditional party committees.

“Enormous abuses have taken place under the current rules, which have allowed groups largely devoted to campaign activities to operate as nonprofit groups in order to keep secret the donors funding their campaign activities,” said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, which advocates limits on money in politics.

The greatness of Obamacare During the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act, it’s been hard to defend the law, much less to call it “great.” But great it is — for the American economy and for the American people, rich ones included.

The program has already succeeded in one of its key backbreaking missions: to curb the exploding costs of health care. The president’s Council of Economic Advisers issued a report this month containing lots of good news on that front. Since Obamacare was passed in 2010, the growth in health care spending has slowed to the lowest rate on record for any three-year period since 1965. “If half the recent slowdown in spending can be sustained,” the report says, “health care spending a decade from now will be about $1,400 per person lower than if growth returned to its 20002007 trend.”

The authors further note that the benefit will go to workers in the form of fatter paychecks and to taxpayers as federal and state governments cut projected spending on health care. Another plus would be more jobs as employers feel less burdened by the cost of covering their workers.

What about the recession? One may reasonably ask whether the economic downturn was responsible for cutting the growth rates of medical spending. Yes, but not by much, the authors respond. They note that the slowdown has persisted well beyond the end of the recession.

Very importantly, it also applied to Medicare, a government program whose elderly beneficiaries are more insulated from a weak job market.

And the growth in prices for health services (different from total spending) has eased significantly.

Here’s how the health care reforms did it: — They reduced the overpayments to private insurers’ Medicare Advantage plans and the price increases for providers.

— They’re promoting new payment models, whereby medical providers are being financially rewarded for giving good care in an efficient manner. Under the old setup, providers could enhance their incomes by pumping up the volume

of visits, tests and other services.

The reforms encourage the growth of “accountable care organizations.”

The more efficiently these groups of medical providers operate the more money they get to keep.

— Hospitals with high readmission rates are penalized. This is also a quality issue for Medicare beneficiaries, who are often discharged with inadequate planning for posthospital care. Under a perverse set of incentives, hospitals were making more money when elderly patients returned. The taxpayers, of course, picked up the bills.

— Changes in Medicare should spill over into the private sector, generating even more savings.

Medicare’s payment structure is often the starting point in negotiations between private insurers and medical providers.

What about the rich? All this conservative talk about Obamacare’s “redistributing” wealth to the less well-off ignores this reality: Every time medical spending rises, so do the taxes (of those who pay income tax) and the premiums for those who buy their own coverage. I mean, who do you think has been paying for all those uninsured people showing up at expensive hospital emergency rooms for free care?

For those worried about federal deficits, here are some encouraging numbers, courtesy of the Affordable Care Act: The Congressional Budget Office recently cut its projected Medicare and Medicaid spending in 2020 by $147 billion. It expects the reforms overall to reduce the deficit by more than $100 billion from 2013 to 2022.

All this great stuff has been obscured by the bungled launch of the federal government’s HealthCare. gov website. Once it is up and running, the conversation should turn in a more positive direction. Those who read the advisers’ report won’t have to wait that long. Google “Council of Economic Advisers” for a copy.

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

In polarized country, it’s hard to get something like health care done To The Daily Sun, When President Obama was campaigning in 2008, the top priority of the voters was health care. Then the economy crashed, and Obama got elected, and had to deal with that.

Then, the Democrats were in charge, and managed to pass the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act before the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in 2010.

In a polarized country, it’s hard to get something like health care done.

Different people hate it for opposing reasons. Now ‘ACA’ is law, and the ‘loyal opposition’ can’t stop demonizing ‘Obamacare’, and have little to offer as an alternative.

LETTERS We are back to the me & mine concept to the exclusion of the needy To The Daily Sun, As a rule I like to stay above the fray as far as letters to the editor is concerned. I do, however, read both sides of the rancorous debates that rage in The Laconia Sun. I will now try to give both sides some instruction and advice.

The word humane has a variety of connotations. It implies membership in the so called human race. That membership requires us, as humans, to have compassion and a certain amount of benevolence toward others of our race. To make that work, you have to recognize that there is only one human race.

What do all members have in common? We are all born, live and die.

As a result, we must seek to stay alive until its time for us to die. Our first need is for sustenance which is or should be provided by our parents. That is not always possible for a number of reasons. So we, as the human race, must or should care for the needy members.

The question that begs an answer is: who or how many of us are to shoulder that caring responsibility? Other than food, what other needs do each of us have. In nature, it is the survival of the fittest. At some point in our evolution, humans stepped away from that concept and became able to love and care for those beyond their immediate offspring family. They formed religious codes and laws of governance.

Relationships took on national characteristics. As the circle grew, so did the potential conflicts.

And now, we find that we have come

full circle. We are back to the me and mine concept to the exclusion of the needy. Some of us go on the attack.

Many times it occurs within the family unit itself. Drifting apart is a natural occurrence as children grow older and achieve independence. That is the natural way of families. Rejection is not the natural way.

What I see in the letters to The Sun is position taking and posturing. I also see denigration of others and their views. Vicious ill will and malicious attacks have become common in the letters. Both are detrimental to settling issues between two sides that should be seeking the best solution.

Solution of conflicts requires compromise and a commitment to make that compromise be fair to all.

So, what is the “common good?” I submit that the regular writers are of average intelligence and most of them are humane. Rather than ranting and raving about the oppositions point of view, pick a topic and offer your solution. Maybe the editor could publish the topic of the week or month and invite solution letters. At the end of the month or what ever period of time seems appropriate, all those who have submitted could vote on the best solution as submitted. After the letter writers have had a chance to rank the solution letters the general public could be given a chance to weigh in on line to give the writers a chance to find out how much appeal their ideas have.

We must wrest ourselves from the purveyors of war and violence To The Daily Sun, The first and most successful way to drain the federal coffers is to continue to invent stories about terrorist threats from Middle-Eastern countries. Consider: these small impoverished countries cannot straighten out their own messes to be a real menace to anyone. War, that we have sustained for 12 years, is based upon phony information we are fed year after year. It has all the markings of what happened in Nazi Germany by a man named Goebbels, who told the Germans that Poland was a threat, leading to an invasion and subjection of the Poland people and the start of

World War 2.

Do you realize the amount of precious lives we have committed, the money we have spent, the time, technology and resources that have we wasted killing men, women and children who are considered expendable by the military? (Whose armed soldiers carry out their orders, as they are expected to do.) These soldiers have given dedicated and honorable service only to be misused and corrupted by deceitful politicians in Washington.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 27, 2013 — Page 5

LETTERS Large measure of extra caution needed if you’re going to fry a turkey To The Daily Sun, Over the past decade there has been a new trend for cooking turkeys — the turkey fryer. The traditional method of cooking a turkey could take hours; a turkey fryer can complete the job in less than an hour. Unfortunately, every year deep fat fryers are responsible for around 1,000 fires, resulting in five deaths and 60 injuries.

As the fryers become more common, the fires and deaths will continue to increase. Because of the risks attributed to turkey fryers, Underwriters Laboratories will not certify any fryer with their trusted UL mark and many safety organizations warn against their use. The majority of reported incidents occurred while the oil was being heated, prior to adding the turkey. For this reason, it is very important consumers monitor the temperature of the oil closely. If any smoke at all is noticed coming from a heating pot of oil, the burner should be turned off immediately because the oil is overheated. A flash fire can occur very quickly at this point.

Should you choose to fry turkeys follow these safety guidelines: — Turkey fryers are not meant to be used indoors.

— Keep the fryer in FULL VIEW while burner is on.

— Do not let children get anywhere near the fryer.

— Place the fryer in an open area AWAY from all walls, fences, or other structures.

— Never use IN, ON, or UNDER a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or any structure that can catch fire.

— Raise and lower food SLOWLY to reduce splatter and avoid burns.

— COVER bare skin when adding or removing food.

— Check the oil temperature frequently.

— If oil begins to smoke, immediately turn gas supply OFF. — If a fire occurs, immediately call 911.

— DO NOT extinguish fire with water.

Follow these guidelines as you prepare to use a turkey fryer: — Make sure there is at least two feet of space between the liquid propane tank and fryer burner.

— Place the liquid propane gas tank and fryer so that any wind blows the heat of the fryer away from the gas tank.

— Center the pot over the burner on the cooker.

— Completely thaw (USDA says 24 hours for every 4 to 5 pounds) and dry turkey before cooking. Partially frozen and/or wet turkeys can produce excessive hot oil splatter when added to the oil.

— Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to determine the proper amount of oil to add. If those are not available: — Place turkey in pot — Fill with water until the turkey is covered by about 1/2 inch of water — Remove and dry turkey — Mark water level. Dump water, dry the pot, and fill with oil to the marked level.

Remember you are heating combustible oil to a very high temperature.

There could easily be several gallons of oil in the fryer. If this ignites it will create a very serious fire and produce huge amounts of thick black smoke.

I dealt with one of these fires about 15 years ago. It wasn’t a Thanksgiving turkey, however the resulting fire destroyed the home’s kitchen and left major damage to the rest of the home.

Chief Ken Erickson Laconia Fire Department

Misdemeanor & Felony Representation

To The Daily Sun, Can the fall of Obamacare heal progressive “magical thinking” and restore common sense and sanity within the Democratic Party? I know, a rhetorical question. A couple definitions of magical thinking include: “belief that an object, action or circumstance is unrelated to a course of events”. “Irrational belief that one can bring about a circumstance or event by thinking about it or wishing for it”. Denying that liberal policies over the years have caused far more harm than good is the demented step sister of paternal progressivism. Believing that good intentions are all that is needed to bring about positive change is the evil uncle of liberal progressive policies. Both are necessary for the Democrat Party to continue to believe they are the only ones on the right path for the betterment of mankind despite massive history to the contrary. Both concepts are necessary for liberal, elitist, central planners (Democrats and establishment Republicans) to believe they are so much smarter than us and thus must control the lives of we, “the great unwashed”, in order to save us from ourselves.

President Obama is not the sole proprietor of this belief, but he is the current leader of our great republic who is running the country based on those beliefs. He is also a disciple of Saul Alinsky, admirer of Lucifer and author of “Rules for Radicals”. He was taught the principles of “overwhelming the system” while at Columbia University under the tutelage of American sociologists, Richard Andrew Cloward and Francis Fox Piven. He has learned how to “boil the frog slowly” in order to bring about a massive government takeover of the private sector. Obamacare is just the latest and greatest assault on our freedom, attempting to consume fully one sixth of our economy.

It would appear that his own arrogance, aloofness and admitted laziness has caused the water to come to a boil a little too quickly. It would appear that his disdain for having almost no one with business experience as part of his administration, has caused the frog to leap to safety at the last moment. It would appear that President Obama’s entourage of deceptive yes men and women has caused the temperature of national discourse to rise to a quick boil with respect to his attempt to nationalize health care. Daniel Hannan, member of the European Parliament has a new book, “Inventing Freedom”, which implores America to avoid abandoning individual rights, private property, the rule of law and the institutions

of representative government. Europe continues down that socialist path on the road to serfdom. Our president ignores that reality because ironically, it does not fit his manifest mission to transform this country into a European socialist state.

Why does the president not act far more outraged at the failure of the ACA rollout? Why is he not far more embarrassed about his advisors not keeping him abreast of his signature achievement? How can he tell the nation, with a straight face, that he just didn’t know the website was not ready to be rolled out? Why have heads not rolled out of his administration? How can he seriously intone he didn’t realize buying health insurance was so complicated?

Well, we are now finding out that in some cases he was kept in the dark about his future legacy. We are also finding out that he has purposely changed, obfuscated, “incorrectly promised” and even lied about folks being able to keep their coverage. The conclusion is that his administration is either incompetent or deliberately overwhelming the system in order to bring about fundamental change, including a 100 percent government run, single-payer health care system.

Witness the latest revelation where the law has a provision to subsidize insurance companies with our tax payer funds. For those companies who can’t make enough profit under the “Affordable Care Act”.

I think Obamacare is a progressive disease which has now been exposed for the delusional fraud that it is.

Every day there is a new revelation exposing the grandiosity of socialism in all it’s destructive, redistributionist ways. Now the cries of “racism” begin anew. Sorry, it is too late, even with the addition of Oprah Winfrey to the desperate, name calling fray.

The emperor has no clothes. The so called new clothes of “hope and change” are but ragged old socialism threads laid bare for all to see. The child, today embodied as the young and healthy, are shouting it out loud to the world. The mainstream media has been dragged into the light, kicking and screaming at least temporarily, while shading their eyes from the nakedness of Obamacare. Let us hope that modern day liberal progressivism has been set back for decades.

That gives us the best chance to bring back “exceptionalism” into the lexicon of this country and to bring back the American dream for all citizens.

To The Daily Sun, A small group of elected officials in Congress is currently leading the effort to find common ground on a budget proposal to avoid a repeat of the federal government shutdown and prevent sequestration in the coming years. Those are goals many Americans support. But how we get there could have devastating effects right here in New Hampshire.

Among the proposals under consideration is an extension of the three-

year federal employee pay freeze and a cut in take-home pay for federal employees through an increase in federal retirement contributions. If the committee is unable to agree on a path forward, then more furloughs of vital federal workers are almost sure to occur.

Many people think that federal employees are concentrated in the Washington, D.C. area, but the truth of the matter is that over 85 percent see next page

LETTERS People without insurance are your neighbors & their family members To The Daily Sun, As a long-time entrepreneur and business owner, I would like to ask the Senate Republicans in Concord why they continue to block the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act. The substantial effect of the $2.5 billion (not million) in additional federal aid through the program would provide a critical economic boost to fund new health-related jobs and businesses that serve the state’s health care industry.

It’s a “win-win” for the recipients of the program, the state and the small businesses that have been paying these employees’ health insurance.

58,000 New Hampshire residents are expected to take advantage of this new program by 2020.

Who are these recipients? To name a few, they are the workers who serve you meals in fast-food restaurants, work in the mall’s shops, fix your car, cut your hair and provide in-home services for seniors and people with disabilities. They are your neighbors and their family members you come into contact every day in communities across New Hampshire. They work, but their incomes are below $15,400 a year for a single person and $32,000 for a family of four. The burden to provide insurance will no longer fall just upon their small business employers.

The federal government would pay 100 percent of the coverage cost of the Medicaid expansion for the first three years beginning in 2014, ratcheting down to 90 percent of the coverage cost in the 7th year and thereafter.

The program is expected to bring more than $2.5 billion in federal investment into New Hampshire with the state providing about $18.4 million in administrative costs over the first seven years, which is less than 1 percent of the overall cost of expansion.

The state could also choose to drop out of the program at any time.

Despite the fact that the Chamber of Commerce has come out in favor of Medicare expansion, as well as the state’s health care professionals, there are still Republican state senators who are against expansion. They are not sure why they’re against it but they know it’s part of Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act. In most of the very conservative states, Republican governors have refused Medicaid expansion despite the fact they have the highest rates of residents without health insurance coverage. None of these leaders has shown any concern for their people who are uninsured or denied coverage because of illness. Actually, they want to repeal the Affordable Care Act itself and let insurers go back to cancelling policies at the first sign of a shadow on an x-ray. This leads me to a question for the Republicans in the state Senate “Would you rather cling to an outmoded political ideology that let your neighbors and their family members receive vital health care coverage?”

Hopefully, no one is that heartless.

from preceding page live and work outside D.C. The federal government is one of our state’s largest employers. So when you cut the paychecks of New Hampshire’s middle-class federal employees, you’re also harming our state’s economy and local businesses.

I urge New Hampshire’s Members

of Congress to reject these proposals, which would take millions of dollars away from our local economy next year and weaken our federal workforce for years to come.

With no attractive options open, Newfound will stay the course on school configuration

By Thomas P. Caldwell FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BRISTOL — Concerns about decreasing student populations and the state of some school buildings prompted the Newfound Area School Board to consider reconfiguring the educational structure of the district. Following a report from the superintendent on Monday evening, members concluded that the current class grouping is appropriate, unless the downward census continues over the next few years.

Board Chair Vincent Paul Migliore of Bridgewater said the board’s request that Superintendent Stacy Buckley look into reconfiguring the school district came about because the trend of falling student populations is showing no sign of leveling off and because his town had asked the board to look into what cost savings might be realized by consolidating some of the schools.

As the first of the superintendent’s goals for the 2013-2014 academic year, Buckley, in her first year on the job, made a comprehensive investigation into the history of the seven-town district and the capacity of its schools. She looked at current enrollment and utilization of space at the schools, and how shifting the configurations would affect the various buildings and the delivery of education.

Specifically, she looked at having all of the elementary schools provide kindergarten through Grade 8 or kindergarten through Grade 6, or returning to a from preceding page Canada. In addition, The Philip Pemberton Band was also the 1st Western band to play in the former capital of China, Xi’an on a two week tour broadcast to half a billion people throughout Asia.

Chris Vachon, guitarist, is a true multi-talent. His prowess as a guitar slinger is well documented, and his strengths as a producer and songwriter grow from album to album. He produced the band’s six most recent albums — There Goes the Neighbor-

K-4, 5-8, and 9-12 structure; or even doing a total reconfiguration that would group all pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students together at the Danbury school, grades 1-3 at Bristol Elementary, and grades 4-5 at the Bridgewater-Hebron Village School, keeping the higher grades where they are.

Included in her analysis was the possible closing of another outlying school, as the district finally succeeded in doing with the Alexandria Village School after many attempts and plenty of push-back from residents in that town. When the Newfound Area School District had formed, part the agreement was that none of the small, outlying schools would close without the residents of that town supporting it. The only school to close prior to Alexandria’s was the Bridgewater Hill school in the early years of the Newfound District.

One by one, Buckley described the pros and cons of each option, with the cons outweighing the pros.

She concluded that it was not feasible to adopt a K-6 or K-8 option because it would create the need for additional staff members while adversely affecting the district’s ability to provide for unified arts and athletics and, in the case of K-6, the loss of foreign languages and algebra. There also would be additional costs to align the curriculum between schools and update the libraries at the schools, as well as creating scheduling problems with more lunch periods to fit in to accommodate all the students.

hood (1998), Watch You When You Go (2001), Live at Wolf Trap (2002) the Grammy nominated That’s Right! (2003), and Standing Room Only (2004) and Raisin’ A Ruckus (2008) after co-producing all of Roomful’s other albums recorded in the ‘90s. Chris’ songs — such as “Turn It On! Turn It Up!,” “Running Out of Time,” “She’ll Be So Fine,” “Blue, Blue World,” and “Dynamite”, have become firm favorites, bringing many new fans into the Roomful fold.

The superintendent acknowledged that the 4-4-4 arrangement the district originally had when it built the new high school “can work” but she said many parents object to having fifth graders interacting with eighth graders. Making that move would potentially allow the district to close the Danbury and New Hampton elementary schools, but with additional costs in transportation.

Transportation was the only reason for objection to her “radical” option of grouping the students by grade at different schools, Pre-K and K, 1-3, and 4-5.

Jeff Levesque of Groton said that would be the perfect option, once the district can teleport students from their homes to the distant schools they would be attending.

Buckley said that, if the board wanted to pursue one of the options, she would recommend setting up a committee to study it in greater detail.

“If cost is a factor, would it be more cost-effective to close Bristol Elementary School, the New Hampton Community School, Newfound Memorial Middle School, and Danbury Elementary School, and build a new school?” she posited.

Her final suggestion, to create a facilities committee to look into issues of space, utilization, and the need for maintenance on the district’s buildings, was the one the board took to heart after accepting her report. Ruby Hill of Danbury made the motion to establish a standing facilities committee to do longrange planning, and the motion passed unanimously.

Migliore asked the superintendent to make a recommendation on the structure of the committee. Buckley had said it would be helpful to have members of the community as well as staff and board members taking part.

In ending her presentation, Buckley raised the question of whether it would be better for her spend her time looking at curriculum, instruction, and assessment, rather than restructuring the district.

Aligning curriculum, she said, was the most presssee next page

COUNTY from page one mission pared nearly $2.5 million from the appropriations requested by county departments to reach a budget of $27,0113,237 and this week trimmed another $442,240 to limit the increase to less than 1 percent. The commissioners decided to forego creating three new positions in the Department of Corrections at a cost of $227,000 and eliminated two vacant positions at the county nursing home to spare another $108,500. The replacement of windows at the Belknap County Superior Court at $60,000 and two compressors for the HVAC system at the county complex at $16,000 were shelved. The information technology budget was cut by $15,000 and the maintenance budget by $10,000 while foregoing two television sets for the nursing home saved $2,000. from preceding page ing issue among the staff who are concerned about students arriving in seventh grade from the various schools with different levels of skills and different “vocabularies”.

Throughout her talk, Buckley stressed that she looks at the system as being one district, rather than seven towns. While each town has its own character, and should preserve that character, she said that, educationally, it is important for all students to receive the same education.

“Everyone, both staff and students, should have a good space to work and learn,” she said.

Although he ultimately voted for the facilities committee, Lloyd Belbin of Bristol said he felt the school district should look at acquiring land for new buildings before going ahead with a facilities committee. “We can go on for years with what we’ve got,” he said.

Migliore repeated a recommendation he has been

Thomas said the commission will recommend spending $100,000 for a surveillance system at the county complex, which is the only significant capital project left in the budget.

The budget includes a 1.6-percent cost-of-living raise and three-percent “step” increase for eligible employees. The commissioners also funded bonuses for unused sick days and length of service as well as the increase in the employer share of health insurance premiums, all of which are contractual obligations prescribed by the collective bargaining agreement negotiated with the union representing county employees. The convention struck funding for both bonuses and increased health insurance premiums from the 2013 budget, but the commission paid the bills anyway by shuffling monies within departmaking at the last few meetings, that the community view the DVD “Community and Consequences” which is on the district website. It describes the problem of young people leaving the state for employment elsewhere, partly because of a lack of affordable housing here. That has created many problems for communities and school districts, accounting — along with the trend toward home schooling — for the decreases in student populations in the public schools.

He noted that, while the trend looks to continue for some time, it could change with some school districts looking to split up and align with other districts. The Hill School District has been making overtures for some time about withdrawing from School Administrative Unit 18 and tuitioning its students to Bristol. On the other hand, Migliore noted that there had been a move by Danbury at town meeting to withdraw from Newfound and join another district, which would reduce revenues for the district.

mental budgets.

“Now this will be convention’s budget and their responsibility,” said Thomas. “We have given them a bare bones budget to pay for what we thought the county needed.”

FRANCE from page 2 Dominique Strauss-Kahn is facing charges of aggravated pimping. He denies wrongdoing, though his lawyer has defended Strauss-Kahn’s free-wheeling sex life.

It has also called attention to the evolution of the sex business, as the number of foreign prostitutes, especially from Asia and eastern Europe, has soared in recent years.

The proposed law would introduce a 1,500-euro ($2,000) fine —rising to 3,000-euro at the second offense— for the clients of prostitutes. They could also be forced to attend classes aimed at highlighting the harms of prostitution.

The bill aims to decriminalize the estimated 40,000 prostitutes in France, by scrapping a 2003 law that bans soliciting on the streets, and making it easier for foreign prostitutes to remain legally in France if they enter a process to get out of prostitution. One of the bill’s authors, Maud Olivier, says it’s about “getting rid the consequence of unequal and archaic relationships between men and women.”

Other countries such as Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, where brothels are legal, are especially interested in the French experience.

“If France moves, that could be the turning point for other European countries,” said Gregoire Thery, secretary-general of the Mouvement du Nid, an organization which says it helps 5,000 prostitutes in France each year.

The proposed law —written by a group of lawmakers from both right and left and backed by the Socialist government— follows the example of Sweden, which passed similar legislation in 1999.

Kevin Halligan picked to be grand marshall of annual Laconia Holiday Parade on Saturday LACONIA — Husband, father, athlete, coach, farmer and entrepreneur, Kevin Haligan will join the ranks of those honored to lead the Laconia Downtown Holiday Parade this Saturday, Nov. 30 beginning at 11 a.m.

Halligan is a friendly bear of a man who seems like he could throw a great party and then be the life of it. He is well known to many in Laconia (“I think I know everybody — well, 80 percent of the town”) as the owner-operator of Local Eatery in Veterans Square and the Laconia Village Bakery on Main St., and also for coaching Laconia Youth Basketball.

Halligan is still unsure of his mode of parade transport. “I might walk, use an antique car, ride a sleigh — but I’d love to drive a beefed-up go-kart, since I want to get one anyway.” Whatever way he goes, he will be accompanied by his wife Gillian and their four children: daughters Sierra (age 9), Devyn (8), Savanah (3), and son Jamison (1).

“They don’t exactly know what grand marshal means. But I told them we’d be up at the front of it, and they’re excited. My girls were in the parade with Lakes Region Gymnastics two years ago, and they were supposed to be in it again this year with the Girl Scouts. But now they have to ride with dad!”

Kevin himself has often watched the parade but never before been in it. “I’ m just not a public figure.

But it’s exciting, cool. It’ll be fun.”

Halligan played football at Laconia High School — linebacker and tight end — and the team he captained at LHS won the 1999 championship. He also coached football at Gilford High.

The Local Eatery will be part of the Holiday Parade happenings. From eight to noon on Parade Day, he’ll be serving a Farm Breakfast. It’s also a fundraiser to provide vouchers to the disadvantaged to buy local. ‘’They need more funding for the program. And I want to do that each month so people can have a good breakfast” says Halligan.

The parade will feature high school bands, floats and marchers. It starts out at Wyatt Park in the South End and will head up through the city’s downtown area to Veterans Square. All downtown businesses will be open throughout the day.

The traditional lighting of the city’s tree in Veterans Park will follow the parade.

The parade is sponsored by the Lakes Region Chamber of Commerce, the Laconia Main Street Initiative, the Bank of New Hampshire, Franklin Savings Bank, the Soda Shoppe and The Laconia Daily Sun.

CHINA from page 2 “This will raise regional tensions and increase the risk of miscalculation, confrontation and accidents,” she told reporters.

China said Saturday that all aircraft entering the new air defense zone must notify Chinese authorities and are subject to emergency military measures if they do not identify themselves or obey Beijing’s orders. U.S. officials, however, said they have received no reaction to the bomber flights from the Chinese.

The bomber mission underscores Washington’s immediate rejection of China’s new rules. The U.S., which has hundreds of military aircraft based in the region, has said it has zero intention of complying.

Japan likewise has called the zone invalid, unenforceable and dangerous, while Taiwan and South Korea, both close to the U.S., also rejected it.

White House spokesman Josh Earnest would not specifically comment Tuesday on the military flights. “It continues to be our view that the policy announced by the Chinese over weekend is unnecessarily inflammatory and has a destabilizing impact on the region,” he told reporters traveling with Obama in Los Angeles.

The U.S. mission took place between about midnight Monday and 3 a.m. EST, said the officials, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak by name about the flights. The flights were first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Belmont chief will wait a year to ask for new fire truck

By Gail OBer

BELMONT — Fire Chief Dave Parenti said Monday the department won’t be asking selectmen for the money to buy a fire truck at the 2014 Town Meeting.

He also said, and Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin confirmed, that selectmen agreed with Parenti at their meeting on November 18 that the town wouldn’t refurbish Engine 2 — the oldest attack engine in the department’s fleet.

Selectmen made their recommendations after two separate viability assessments done within the past month on the 1997 Pierce ES460 is that it is not in the best financial interests of the town to refurbish it.

The work would have have cost the town as much as $200,000.

Parenti said the Fire Department will be able to keep Engine 2 — which is its third response engine

as well as the one that moves up to second when one of the other two is out of service or at a call — on the road and working using money from the regular annual maintenance budget.

He said some issues like spots of rust that have eaten through the body as well as some critical exhaust problems will be repaired. He said the brakes are “okay” for right now.

Parenti said the critical repairs will be done in part this year but mainly from the maintenance line for 2014.

He said when the capital improvement budget talks begin in late summer of 2014, he will recommend purchasing a new fire engine at that time.

The earliest he said a warrant article could go to voters is 2015 and there is about nine months of time needed to build a fire engine should voters approve it, meaning the earliest the department could have a new engine in service would be late 2015 or early 2016.

CHOKE from page one them that March objected to the videos Riley was watching because he felt they were “gory and cruel.”

Riley told police March came at him and swung his fists at him. He said March said he was going to knock out Riley and “then I’m going to get a knife and kill you.”

His story was that March got him on his back and Riley put his legs and arms around March and was squeezing him. He alleged told police he was able to secure him and “squeezed his neck for about thirty seconds” and that March “fake passed out.”

Riley claims he let go and March picked up a pen and tried to stab him but stabbed the couch instead.

The two allegedly kept wrestling until Riley said he got March’s neck between his legs and squeezed his arteries for what he said was about ten minutes.

Riley told police he smelled “flatulence” and March started convulsing. Riley allegedly said “Oh my God, I think I’ve killed him” and got water and dumped it on March in an attempt to revive him.

A third male who lives in the house told police that Riley had previously placed him in three separate choke holds about two days before the homicide.

The unidentified male said he had trouble breathing and started to panic. The same male also said that on Sunday, June 9, he allegedly heard Riley talking on his cell phone and that he seemed agitated and was yelling.

An unidentified woman who also lives in the house told police that Riley came upstairs and started screaming her name and saying that March was “out cold.” she said she ran downstairs and called 911.

The woman also said that Riley was pacing back and forth saying “What am I going to do?” She told state police that when police arrived and took Riley out to the porch to speak with him, he turned to her and said, “I guess I’m going to prison for murder.”

The same woman also said she, Riley and March would smoke marijuana “on a nightly basis” however she had not smoked any on June 9 and had not seen either Riley or March smoke pot that night.

The lead state police investigator said Riley allegedly demonstrated various choke holds to an officer and told him he had practiced them often. He allegedly told police he had held his friends in choke holds during horseplay and had once choked his mother who needed to be hospitalized as a result.

He also said Riley told him he understood that he could “choke someone out” by placing pressure on his or her arteries.

Riley was indicted by a grand jury earlier this month on two counts of second-degree homicide — one that he recklessly caused March’s death and one that he negligently caused March’s death. They are different theories of the same crime.

According to Genesis Behavior Health Executive Director Maggie Pritchard, who was interviewed in June, 24 McGrath Street is one of two support homes the agency owns in Laconia.

She said a “support home” differs from a “group home” in that a “support home” provides homes for people who might become homeless and have some kind of emotional or mental disability. A “support home” has programs but no 24-hour supervision. A “group home,” said Pritchard, has 24-hour supervision.

Life cant wait for computer problems. No longer are computers simply a hobby item in our lives. computers have evolved into an integral part of our daily existence helping us with research, managing family photo albums, and helping us communicate by email with friends and business associates all over the country and beyond. Unfortunately computers do fail.

And they tend to fail when they are needed the most. NO LONGER CAN LIFE WAIT FOR COMPUTER PROBLEMS - and simply replacing your computer is not always a good option.

Your computer can often times be repaired for significantly less money than replacing it - and we can save the data that makes your personal computer “personal!” Bring your computer to our 397 Union Avenue location in Laconia by 12 o’clock noon, and we will have it repaired and ready for you the same day!

Susan Stearns, Board President, said “With the addition of their leadership, we are well-prepared to meet the challenges facing the community mental health system in New Hampshire.”

Genesis Behavioral Health honored two community leaders for their commitment to mental health.

Each year, the Helen Holbrook Leadership and Service Award is presented to an individual who leads by example and gives of themselves to strengthen the cause of mental health in the Lakes Region.

This year’s recipient was Ellen Wolff, RN, MS, who serves as the Chief Nursing Officer and Senior VicePresident of Patient Care Services at LRGHealthcare. Ms. Wolff was instrumental in advocating for and establishing the Designated Receiving Facility at Franklin Regional Hospital and has been a partner in ensuring a continuum of care for people with mental illness.

“It’s an honor to receive an award named after Helen Holbrook, one of our community’s true leaders,” noted Ms. Wolff, “I will continue to be a champion for mental health and look forward to a continued partnership between LRGHealthcare and Genesis Behavioral Health.”

Genesis Behavioral Health also recognizes an individual who promotes increased awareness, sensitivity, understanding and acceptance of mental health issues in the Lakes Region with the Dr. George “Pete” Harris Community Service Award.

This award, named after the physician who founded Genesis Behavioral Health, was presented to Deb Naro, Executive Director of CADY, Inc. and a former State Representative.

Ms. Naro is an advocate for mental health and substance abuse, and her work helps local youth make safe and healthy choices by partnering with schools, parents, youth, and communities to prevent and reduce youth alcohol, tobacco and other drug use. “The Harris award is very meaningful and personally significant because my heart is dedicated to community,” stated Ms. Naro, “I believe the most effective solutions come from the grassroots, and the award represents this ideal.”

“It is my pleasure to have the opportunity to work with these two women, both of whom have done so much for their community and for mental health,” said Maggie Pritchard, Executive Director of Genesis Behavioral Health, “Their energy, leadership, and perseverance are an asset to the Lakes Region, and our organization is fortunate to have them as advocates and friends.”

Attendees participated in the last night of bidding for Genesis Behavioral Health’s 3rd Annual Mental Illness Awareness Auction, which raised over $8,500 to support programs and services for people living with – and recovering from – mental illness.

“The auction isn’t possible without the generosity of our community,” said Kristen Welch, Director of Development & Communications, “We are grateful to Bank of New Hampshire, 98.3 LNH, WEMJ, The Hawk, Northway Bank, and The Standard for serving as sponsors for this event, to the many businesses and individuals who donated items and services, and to the bidders. We look forward to another successful auction in 2014.”

Genesis Behavioral Health is designated by the State of New Hampshire as the community mental health center serving Belknap and southern Grafton Counties. A private, non-profit organization, Genesis serves over 3,000 individuals each year. For more information or to schedule an appointment, call 524-1100.

DIVER-ASSISTED SUCTION HARVESTER (DASH) UNIT OFFERED FOR SALE OR LEASE

The Joint Milfoil Board of the Towns of Moultonborough, Tuftonboro, and Wolfeboro (the Board) is now accepting proposals from parties interested in buying a Diver Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH) unit or, in the alternative, leasing the unit for the 2014 season of May 1 through October 30. All proposals, accompanied by a deposit of $500.00 payable by bank or cashier’ s check, must be received by 2 p.m. on December 19, 2013 in the Offices of the Wolfeboro Town Manager, Mr. David Owen, P.O. Box 629, 84 South Main Street, Wolfeboro, NH 03894 at which time they will publicly be opened and read aloud. Any proposal received after that date and time will be returned unopened.

The DASH is a converted 1994 24’ Godfrey Pontoon Boat, with trailer, with an 70 HP Evinrude motor, and an associated inventory of related equipment. It was fully outfitted in 2011 with a 23 hp/4 cycle suction/pump engine and a surface supply air system. It has been successfully operated for 3 seasons as a Diver-Assisted Suction Harvester (DASH) unit to combat the spread of invasive aquatic plants. This DASH unit is available for public inspection in Tuftonboro, NH by appointment only. The minimum acceptable proposal for the sale of this asset is $10,000. There is no minimum acceptable proposal for the lease period.

Proposals must be on a form provided by the Board which also contains additional instructions. A detailed package with information on the items to be sold, the conditions thereof, and the proposal form, is available at www.wolfeboronh.us (click on RFPS and Bids) or in the Town Manager’ s offices during normal business hours.

Each submitted proposal should be in a sealed envelope marked, Joint Milfoil Board Sale/Lease of DASH unit, with the due date clearly marked. If mailed, the proposal submission should be in a similarly marked separate sealed envelope to protect against the actual proposal being opened in error.

Any questions with respect to this invitation, or requests to view the DASH unit must be directed to the Chairman of the Joint Milfoil Board, Mr. Bill Marcussen, at 603-544-2650 no later than 2:00 p.m. on December 12, 2013.

The addendums will be posted on the Wolfeboro web site no later than 4:00 p.m. on December 13, 2013.

The Board reserves the right to reject any and all proposals, and waive any minor or non-material informalities, if deemed to be in its best interests.

International Film Series showing ‘Not One Less’

LACONIA — The Laconia Human Relations Committee in cooperation with the Laconia Public Library presents Not One Less, Monday, December 2 at 6:20 p.m. This is another in the International Film Series shown monthly at the Laconia Public Library.

Set in the People’s Republic of China during the 1990s, Wei, a thirteen year-old girl, is called upon to substitute for a village teacher for one month.

The teacher has an emergency in his family and has been given a one month leave. His only instructions to Wei are to have the students copy certain pages out of a master copy book each day. She is told that she will not be paid if she loses even one student. At 13 with only a primary school education, she is, to say the least, inexperienced to handle a large class of elementary school boys and girls. Two students, in particular, cause her grief. Her persistence and resourcefulness create an amazing adventure.

The film casts only amateur actors whose real-life names and occupations resembled those of characters they play in the film. Wei is amazing in her role.

In the 90s, primary education reform had become one of the top priorities in the People’s Republic of China. About 160 million Chinese people had missed all or part of their education due to the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and early 70s. By 1993, it was clear that much of the country was making little progress on implementing compulsory education, so the 1993–2000 seven-year education plan focused on getting children into school and keeping them there. One of the major challenges educators faced was the large number of rural schoolchildren dropping out to pursue work.

The director, Zhang Yimou’s, filmed the movie on location in Hebei province involving hidden cameras and natural lighting. He worked closely with government censors during production of the film. Though pressed not to show China as too backward or too poor, it gives a realistic view of rural China today.

The film won the Venice Film Festival’s Golden Lion Award and several others.

Keep this in mind as you work. The joy may not exactly overflow, and yet you’ll look back and feel satisfied, even completely so.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t like to base your emotional tone on external forces, but sometimes it just can’t be helped.

Being around someone you adore will make you happy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 27). Your habit of thinking ahead will give you a competitive edge when you need it. You’ll apply your sharp mind to debate and politics. When it comes to love, though, you don’t hold back or play it like a game. You’re all heart, and the love you give comes right back to you. 2014 will be one of your most romantic years. Libra and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 40, 44, 25 and 16.

by Chad Carpenter

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You create an experience for anyone who is getting to know you. It’s not that you’re trying to put on a show or make an impression, but it’s what happens naturally when you do what you feel compelled to do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don’t need to know how just yet. Just know that you can succeed, and you will. Much good will comes because you believe on a deep level that this is true.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There may be a misunderstanding among friends. You’re not going to view this the same way tomorrow, so don’t make any big public statements about it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Love who you are now. You will always be developing into someone new, but it’s wrong to save up all of your love for that person. Act now. Give yourself what you need. You deserve it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Today is best played conservatively. Many of the risks aren’t worth taking. Use your head and don’t be impulsive. If there’s no prize, don’t compete. If there’s nothing to win by battling, don’t fight.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You know your perspective is realistic when you recognize that things have a beginning, middle and end. An unrealistic perspective is one that only sees one part of this cycle.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What some people consider a crisis is just an average day in the life of others. Your stellar attitude allows you to objectively decide what to get excited or upset about and what to laugh at, too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You are tempted to do good deeds with humility so as not to draw too much attention to yourself.

This is a bad idea, though. The world needs to see people doing admirable and helpful things, because others will follow suit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may have a difficult time persuading people directly, so try other strategies. For instance, present a number of baffling alternatives that

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 27, 2013— Page 27

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Wednesday, Nov. 27, the 331st day of 2013. There are 34 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 27, 1978, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone (mahs-KOH’-nee) and City Supervisor Harvey Milk, a gay-rights activist, were shot to death inside City Hall by former supervisor Dan White.

On this date: In 1701, astronomer Anders Celsius, inventor of the Celsius temperature scale, was born in Uppsala, Sweden.

In 1901, the U.S. Army War College was established in Washington, D.C. In 1910, the Pennsylvania Railroad began regularly serving New York’s Pennsylvania Station.

In 1942, during World War II, the French navy at Toulon (too-LOHN’) scuttled its ships and submarines to keep them out of the hands of German troops.

In 1953, playwright Eugene O’Neill died in Boston at age 65.

In 1962, the first Boeing 727 was rolled out at the company’s Renton Plant.

In 1970, Pope Paul VI, visiting the Philippines, was slightly wounded at the Manila airport by a dagger-wielding Bolivian painter disguised as a priest.

In 1973, the Senate voted 92-3 to confirm Gerald R. Ford as vice president, succeeding Spiro T. Agnew, who’d resigned.

In 1983, 181 people were killed when a Colombian Avianca Airlines Boeing 747 crashed near Madrid’s Barajas airport.

In 1989, a bomb blamed on drug traffickers destroyed a Colombian Avianca Boeing 727, killing all 107 people on board and three people on the ground.

In 1999, Northern Ireland’s biggest party, the Ulster Unionists, cleared the way for the speedy formation of an unprecedented Protestant-Catholic administration.

In 2009, Tiger Woods crashed his SUV outside his Florida mansion, sparking widespread attention to reports of marital infidelity.

Ten years ago: President Bush flew to Iraq under extraordinary secrecy and security to spend Thanksgiving with U.S. troops and thank them for “defending the American people from danger.”

Five years ago: Indian commandoes fought to wrest control of two luxury hotels and a Jewish center from militants, a day after a chain of attacks across Mumbai. Iraq’s parliament approved a pact requiring all U.S. troops to be out of the country by Jan. 1, 2012.

One year ago: Consumer confidence reached its highest level in nearly five years, with the help of rising home values, more hiring and lower gas prices. U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice met privately with three Republican senators who had indicated they would block her possible nomination to be secretary of state; they said afterward that they were even more troubled by her initial explanation of the attack that killed four Americans in Benghazi, Libya.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Wednesday, November 27, 2013— Page 29

ANNIE’S MAILBOX

Dear Annie: My supervisor rarely states his desires clearly.

But if I take the initiative or ask him to clarify, he makes me feel like an idiot. He is condescending and highly critical of most people. He also is a nonstop gossip. He has portrayed me to others as racist, womanizing and incompetent.

He has control over my payable time and my vacation requests. He has the ear of management and lives in the same neighborhood as many of my co-workers. I fear that bringing any of this up for discussion will create a level of retaliation far worse than the existing reality. Any suggestions? -- Kansas Dear Kansas: First, examine your own behavior to see whether there is cause for such rumors to take hold, and if so, correct it. Still, it is no excuse for your supervisor to spread gossip. He also seems ineffectual as a leader, because he does not make his wishes clear and stifles attempts by employees to clarify. Normally, these would be issues to document and then discuss with human resources or the supervisor’s boss.

However, if you worry that doing so will create more problems, you have two choices: Either conduct yourself in a way that is beyond reproach and do your best to put up with it, or start looking for another job.

Dear Annie: I love your column and hope you can clear something up for me. What is the correct thing to do when sending a sympathy card?

It seems that most death notices these days suggest donating to a favorite charity “in lieu of flowers.” But is it OK just to send a card? Should money always be enclosed? My friend says yes, but I had never heard of this. Is this a religious custom or popular in certain parts of our country? I get a different answer every time I ask someone. -- Casper, Wyo. Dear Casper: A sympathy card is always appropriate, and

no, you do not have to enclose money. If the bereaved is struggling financially, it is a kindness to send something to help defray funeral costs, but it is absolutely not mandatory. A donation to a charitable organization is a suggestion and also not required. The point is to express your condolences. Anything beyond that is up to you.

Dear Annie: I read the letter from “Doing It Myself,” who is perplexed about how best to care for her aging mother who has mild dementia. It is not always beneficial to keep the parent in his or her own home.

My 86-year-old mother quickly became unstable once she was widowed. She totaled the car in a bad accident, started berating neighborhood children for being loud and lied to a police officer about a friend who came to visit. She also gave lots of money to every charity that asked.

All of those people who offered help at Dad’s funeral faded away. Mom was alone and unable to voice her fear. She thought she was supposed to stay in the house she built with my father. I nearly lost my mind, my business and my health trying to keep her at home. Over the objections of my out-ofstate siblings, I moved her into a continuing care facility that provides for rehab, skilled care and assisted living.

She went kicking and screaming, but eventually apologized for making it so hard on me. She has tons of new friends and is happy and active. Everyone who works there loves her, and she knows it. Two weeks after she moved in, she said, “I wish I’d moved here three years ago.” I do, too. -- W. Dear W.: A lot of folks have found that the company and care at a retirement or assisted-living facility is quite enjoyable once they have made the adjustment.

To all our Jewish readers: Happy Chanukah!

According to LRCS Executive Director Christine Santaniello, Uncorked is well on its way to becoming a community tradition. “Uncorked brought together people from the Lakes Region community, businesses and nonprofit sectors to connect with friends and associates while supporting the Agency. There are lots of enthusiastic people looking forward to Uncorked 2014.” The date for Lakes Region Uncorked 2014 has already been scheduled for November 1.

“Launching a signature event like Uncorked can be a little scary for any organization,” said Director of Development and Public Relations Joanne Piper Lang. “But we couldn’t have asked for a better result.

Uncorked was indeed a special celebration of the Lakes Region. The locally-crafted wines, mead, ciders and beers showcased at Uncorked are some of the best you will find anywhere in the country. We’ve received lots of very positive feedback. Everyone had a fabulous time learning how wines are made, appreciating how to taste the products while sampling delicious food.”

Lakes Region Uncorked, featured 15 local producers of wine, mead, cider and beer, introducing guests to many high-quality, hand made products. People filled the Historic Belknap Mill as more than 170 tickets to the event were issued. The event also featured a well known NH wine educator and a silent auction with items donated by local businesses and artisans.

Tours of the Mill were provided by docents and guests enjoyed the Mill’s newly opened art gallery.

Because of the generous support of the event’s Title Sponsor - Bank of New Hampshire and corporate sponsors – Curt’s Caterers of Gilford, Franklin Savings Bank, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, E & S Insurance and LPL Financial -- all ticket sales benefit the individuals, children and families of all ages who receive supports and services from LRCS.
