Polls in all 6 wards are open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
LANCASTER — A Laconia man was able to sleep in a warm bed Saturday night after his hunting companion reported he hadn’t returned by dark and a search party located him lost in the woods of this North Country town. New Hampshire Fish and Game Officers said Norman Colburn, 68, had told his friend that he would be hunting for deer near the beaver ponds near Sugar Camp Road. When he hadn’t return by 6 p.m. and the weather started getting bad, Colburn’s see LOST page 24

Police find man holding snorting straw & drugs unresponsive in Gilford El parking lot BY GAIL OBER
THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
GILFORD — Police charged two Alton residents with a variety of drug possession charges after finding the driver of their car unresponsive in the Elementary School parking lot Saturday morning. Affidavits obtained in the 4th Circuit Court, Laconia Division said Shane Mitza, 38, of Mount Major Highway is charged with one count of possession of alprazolam — an anti-anxiety drug —
and one count of possession of suboxine. He was held on $5,000 cash bail after his appearance in court yesterday. Tracy Mitza, 38, of the same address, was charged with one count of possession of alprazolam and one count of marijuana possession. She was released on personal recognizance bail and was given a court day in December. Police said they responded to a call at the Imagination Station and found Mitza see UNRESPONSIVE page 24

Rex Sox make $14M offers to Ellsbury, Napoli & Drew
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell would like to keep the World Series champions together for another run at a title. And yet he knows that’s unlikely to happen. “That was felt when we got off the duck boats, knowing this was one last chance to celebrate with a million people in the city,” Farrell said Monday, two days after the team’s victory parade and hours before the deadline to make qualifying offers to four free agents who were key to the team’s title. “Hopefully we’ll be able to retain all of them. The reality is that might not work out.” One year after a midseason and offseason overhaul that turned a last-place team into World Series champs, the Red Sox began building for 2014 on Monday by making $14.1 million qualifying offers to free agents Jacoby Ellsbury, Mike Napoli and Stephen see RED SOX page 18

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Suspended Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito sent text messages to teammate Jonathan Martin that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation said Monday. The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins and NFL haven’t disclosed the nature of the misconduct that led to Incognito’s suspension. Martin, a tackle, remained absent from practice Monday one week after he suddenly left the team. Also missing was Incog-
nito, suspended indefinitely late Sunday by Miami for his treatment of Martin. The team and NFL continued their investigation into allegations by Martin’s representatives that he was bullied, and Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said it was Miami owner Stephen Ross who asked league commissioner Roger Goodell for assistance with that probe. The NFL Players Association also planned to look into the matter. “Since April 10, 2012, when the players first came here and I was the head coach, every decision I’ve made, everything we’ve
done in this facility has been done with one thing in mind,” Philbin said Monday. “That’s to help our players and our organization reach their full potential. Any type of conduct, behavior that detracts from that objective is not acceptable and is not tolerated.” The 319-pound Incognito, a ninth-year pro, is white. The 312-pound Martin, who is in his second NFL season, is black. It’s unclear whether Dolphins coaches and management had any inkling of harassment between players before Martin see THREATS page 16
Charlie Bass won’t challenge Jeanne Shaheen for U.S. Senate seat
CONCORD (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass says he has decided not to run for U.S. Senate next year. Bass said Monday that after discussing the matter with his family, friend and colleagues, he’s decided that personal and professional responsibilities will keep him
out of the Republican primary for a chance to take on Democrat Jeanne Shaheen. The Republican field includes former state Sen. Jim Rubens of Hanover, conservative activist Karen Testerman of Franklin and Andy Martin of Manchester. Bass served six terms in the 2nd District
House seat before losing to Democrat Paul Hodes in 2006. He won the seat back in 2010 but lost it to Democrat Annie Kuster in 2012. He said he is not retiring from politics and will continue to work to support Republican candidates.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The man accused of opening fire at Los Angeles International Airport, shooting employees and terrorizing travelers, accomplished two of his goals, according to authorities: killing a Transportation Security Administration officer and showing how easy it is to get a gun into an airport. The deadly rampage left investigators to
piece together what motivated Paul Ciancia’s hatred toward the agency formed to make air travel safer after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. But the attack could ultimately lead to changes in the way airports are patrolled. Ciancia, who was shot four times by airport police, remained in critical condition Monday. He has not been scheduled
to appear in court. Any appearance will depend on when his doctors say he’s ready, FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said. The FBI said Ciancia had a handwritten letter, stating that he made the conscious decision to try to kill multiple TSA officers and “instill fear in your traitorous minds.” The unemployed motorcycle mechanic see LAX page 9

Merchant spots break-in; Tilton police make arrest 5 people held for deaths of TILTON — Police have charged a Manchester French journalists in Mali woman with burglary after she was allegedly spotted by a pawnshop employee breaking into the house across the street. Police said the employee noticed the woman around 9:30 a.m. trying all of the windows to see if one was open. The Fast Cash employee said he knew the woman trying to get into the house was not the woman who lived there and called the police, giving them the a description of the car — with the plate number — and the direction it was headed. A Tilton police officer responding to the call spotted the silver Nissan near Valvoline and tried to stop it. He said the driver went behind Valvoline before she stopped and allegedly gave him a a false name. She was identified by police as Jessie Connelly, 25, of Rochelle St. in Manchester. They said the car she was driving was not hers. Police recovered cash, some jewelry and a priceless coin with the victim’s name on it. She is also charged with disobeying an officer and driving after her license was suspended. Connelly was held on cash bail over the weekend and was schedule to appear in the 6th Circuit Court, Franklin Division yesterday afternoon.

DAKAR, Senegal (AP) — French troops who found the bodies of two slain French radio journalists in northern Mali followed footprints in the sand near the corpses to hunt their abductors, part of a search that eventually led to five arrests Monday, a Mali military official said. He added that the kidnappers’ vehicle had broken down, possibly prompting their decision to kill the captives. The director of Radio France Internationale confirmed multiple arrests had been made, although French government authorities gave no confirmations. What remained unclear was who the kidnappers were, and whether they had ties to ethnic Tuareg separatists or al-Qaida militants active in the region. The slayings of Ghislaine Dupont, 57, a senior correspondent, and Claude Verlon, 55, a production technician, stunned France and were an unheard of assault on Western journalists in Mali, where a French-led military operation this year aimed to clear out Islamic extremists who had taken over the vast north.

Website will be fixed & eyes will dry About the Obamacare website rollout: So-rry. Yes, it’s a mess. Tears of apology have flooded the streets of Washington, raising the Potomac to dangerous levels. But the federal health plan’s website will be fixed. (The state exchanges seem to have it right.) Once Americans can get inside the doors, most should appreciate their options. To use real estate parlance, Obamacare is not currently a “drive-by.” Between now and then, though, expect continued histrionics as only Washington can do them. Republicans frame the program as a disaster, and Democrats are into a defensive crouch, as they are wont to do. But when the situation resolves itself, most Americans will forget what they were mad about. Some non-website concerns do deserve a respectful explanation right away. It is true that a small percentage of people are seeing their private policies canceled. This does not affect the great majority — those covered by their employer, in Medicare or Medicaid, or with a high-quality private plan. Some may have to pay more for better coverage — or possibly not. They’d know if the damn HealthCare.gov site were functioning. Critics are correct that the president was — how shall we put it? — inaccurate in assuring the public that the Affordable Care Act would not affect people happy with their current private coverage. Point is, policies are being canceled because they don’t offer the basic coverage required under the new law. And more to the point, many who bought these policies are being cheated and don’t know it. We speak of the cheap mini-med insurance plans that, Consumer Reports writes, “may be worse than none at all.” They are often issued by big-name insurance companies, leaving buyers the impression that they have serious coverage. Sure, Fox News can dredge up lots of “victims” to insist they were happy with their substandard coverage. That’s because they haven’t had a medical crisis yet. Consumer Reports offers the example of Judith Goss of
Macomb, Mich. The 48-year-old was calmly going through life with a $65-a-month policy from Cigna’s Starbridge plan. Then she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Goss found herself facing a $30,000 hospital bill, with medical “coverage” limiting payments to $1,000 a year for outpatient treatment and $2,000 for hospital care. Frightened by the cost, the former Talbots saleswoman put off treatment until after her tumor had tripled in size. So what was Goss getting for her $780-a-year premiums? If she’d had no insurance, at least she’d have known she wasn’t covered for cancer. Depending on income, someone in her position might now qualify for subsidies to bring the premiums for good coverage way down. And yes, under Obamacare, an insurer can’t turn anyone away because of a preexisting condition. On to the other complaint: Obamacare makes those with decent incomes help the worse-off obtain health coverage. Not a terrible thing, in this opinion, but also not the full story. We who pay full freight have already been subsidizing the uninsured who show up at hospitals for “free” care. Now most everyone will have insurance. And even the wealthy may come out ahead, as the reforms force some sanity into our ludicrously wasteful health care system. For those in fine health or with high incomes, one can envision the money saved from the efficiencies eventually exceeding the cost of the subsidies. Foes and even some friends of the reforms are calling those compelled to pay more for coverage or subsidize others “losers” in Obamacare. “Loser today, winner tomorrow” may not be the most inspired rallying call. And the breakdown of the federal website sure hasn’t helped the education process. But all shall be repaired. Once the reality sinks in, eyes will dry. (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.)

The nerve of this man to stand on sacret ground in Boston given his , big government ,socialist agenda disgusts me. He has already disgraced the office he holds. The gall of this man to stand in a hall and give a speech, spinning his

LETTERS Eliminating preventive health care for cost savings is just wrong To The Daily Sun, I find it interesting when someone responds to my letter with the intent of proving me wrong but actually makes my point. Thank you Kay Anderson of Laconia for repeating the facts about Obamacare that I stated in the letter I submitted. I am sorry that you didn’t get the “tongue-in-cheek” reference that I made about the war on women. I was speaking just of Breast Cancer, which is the most common form of non-skin cancer attacking women. You mentioned the mammograms are available every two years and ignored the rest of my letter while stating all the talking points President Obama has declared about Obamacare. All of these talking points were available in insurance plans before Obamacare but I was only talking about the elimination of health care options under Obamacare. Let me explain this to you so you might understand what I was saying. Kate claims that Republicans are waging a war on women because they believe that a religious organization or individual should not be forced by the government to violate their religious teaching, morals and beliefs. Instead Republicans believe that an individual should take personal responsibility for their reproductive rights and purchase contraceptive medicine that costs a mere $4 per month, with or without health insurance at any Wamart, Target or many other pharmacies, Kate believes that the federal government decides what religious doctrine is. If you follow Kate’s reasoning to the logical conclusion a church would have to ask the government for permission to teach what the scriptures tell them. I do believe, in fact I am quite certain that I mentioned the fact that under the recommendation of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), which set the guidelines that were incorporated into the Obamacare regulations that Breast Cancer Screening is conducted EVERY TWO YEARS. This directly contradicts the recommendation of the Health Organization that directly deals with breast cancer, The American Cancer Society (ACS). I am saddened that you believe that repeating facts about Breast Cancer and the American Cancer Society recommendations is
guess you don’t believe facts unless they support your view. Let me see if I can repeat these facts without you becoming afraid. ACS recommends that women begin conducting Breast Self-Exams (BSE) in their 20s and recommends that health care professionals are provided to teach this technique to women. Insurance companies and the government accepted these recommendations and the insurance companies, Medicaid and Medicare paid this training. After the USPSTF issued their recommendations U.S. HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius turned them into regulations governing Obamacare. Under Obamacare, training for BSE by healthcare professionals is no longer provided. Under the recommendations from the ACS that were accepted by insurance companies and the government, mammograms were made available to women every three years in their 20s and 30s and annually at 40 years old. Now women have to wait until they are 50 before getting their first mammogram and only get them EVERY TWO YEARS AFTER THAT. The ACS recommends that women at high risk for breast cancer receive an MRI screening to determine if they have cancer and under Obamacare this option is no longer available. According to the CDC, over 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and over 40,000 of these women DIE EACH YEAR. The American Cancer Society, the ultimate expert on CANCER, says that early detection of breast cancer saves lives and the best way to detect it early is by conducting ANNUAL MAMMOGRAMS; ANNUAL BREAST SELFEXAMS and MRI SCREENING for women at HIGH RISK. This important preventive health care is NOT SUPPORTED by Obamacare. Tongue-in-cheek, I mentioned that Kate is waging a War on Women because of her support for a program that denies women access to health care that actually saves lives. Now I ask, why do you support this program? Life is precious to me and I believe that eliminating preventive health care for cost savings is just wrong and immoral. In my opinion Obamacare is exactly taking this step. Greg Knytych

To The Daily Sun, On Tuesday we will be electing the new City Council for the next two years. This your chance to make a difference in how the city will be run. We have three contested seats and will be electing a new mayor. My priorities will be: attracting manufacturing, education to supply a qualified labor force to fit the needs of these employers, public safety/ law enforcement, quality homes and rental housing and safe recreation facilities for young working families that are attracted to our city to live and work. There has been a lot of talk about the completion of the WOW trail and River Walk, a casino at the Weirs to make it a 24/7 tourist attraction. Downtown Laconia needs help, Lake-
port Square is a disaster, except for one brave entrepreneur who recently opened a new bistro in the old five & dime building and was not welcomed to our business community as yet. If I am elected, this will be my priority number one, making brave youngsters feel welcome when they become part of our community. Two sub attentions should be given to public transportation, due to the aging population of the city and the State School properties to be used for recreation and education. Tuesday November 5 the polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. get out and vote your city is depending on you to make your voices heard. Richard B. Beaudoin Candidate for Councilor, Ward 2 Laconia

Golden Eagles have made football playoffs; too bad facilities aren’t better To The Daily Sun, In Friday’s edition you ran the story on the sports pages as to high school teams in the playoffs. While the Sachems may not be appearing this year in the high school football playoffs of Division II, the Gilford Golden Eagles gridiron athletes have secured a Division III second seed in the playoff tournament and are expected to host Stevens of the Claremont region in the first round of those playoffs at home this Saturday. Too bad Gilford is so impoverished and over burdened with taxes that they cannot seem to find the money to furnish this team on their way to a third championship tournament, or a decent venue to play their home championship tournament games on. Some of the town’s sports fans, athlete’s parents and family friends
would like to be able to see some of these games from an appropriate seating/viewing arrangement instead of trying to peer through the rest of the team standing on the sidelines. The town has sponsored a field and field house site/building committee and fund. Contributions by any who care are appreciated. Best of luck and congratulations to these fine young people who have been working so hard since the hot late summer season to have earned yet another spot in the NHIAA tournament in the few short years Gilford High has fielded a football team. We thank the fine dedicated coaching staff and mothers who do the laundry. Go Eagles! Tim Sullivan Gilford

LETTERS His answer is that science doesn’t lie & cannot be manipulated? To The Daily Sun, In response to Wes Golomb’s rebuttal to my letter about the science of climate change being a fallacy, I would like to thank him for proving my point. In reading both of his letters, I can only assume that his whole philosophy on this topic is that science doesn’t lie and cannot be manipulated. He says that my “drivel” doesn’t prove anything, but it proves exactly what my point was. In the 1970s, during the global-cooling scare, it was scientists and their theories that “proved” we were going to freeze to death. And through the 80s and 90s, it was those same scientists and their theories that “proved” we were going to burn. So the professor, while accusing me of cherry picking information to fit my view, is refuting the science of the 70s because it doesn’t fit his. Maybe he doesn’t believe the science of the 70s because it wasn’t a long enough time period, just like he doesn’t believe the cooling trend of the last 13 years is long enough to disprove the “fact” of global warming in the 80s and 90s. He tries to prove his point by using NASA data over the past 120 years. As he states, they picked a period of 30 years as a base line, and then picked a period that shows an increase in temperature to fit the view of global warming alarmists. Does he think 120 years is long enough? I’d like to go back further, let’s say 2,000 years. According to a news article at http://tinyurl. com/823h6hc, “A large team of scientists making a comprehensive study of data from tree rings say that in fact global temperatures have been on a falling trend for the past 2,000 years and they have often been noticeably higher than they are today — despite the absence of any significant amounts of human-released carbon dioxide in the atmosphere back then.” Were these scientists wrong? They examined trees, a physical object that can be touched and examined. They didn’t use computer models, plugged with data from a specific volcanic eruption or a specific period of time like the professor describes, to prove
their point. You can enter or omit anything into a computer model to get the result you are looking for. I’m interested to know if the professor now thinks that 2000 years isn’t a long enough period. Does he want to go back to a major ice age when temperatures were colder than they are now so he can get his upward trend line again? I’ll just have to go back to before that, when the temperatures were warmer, to refute his findings. The only way to know the true trend is by going back to when the earth was first formed and drawing a trend line based on the temperature from then to now. The only thing that will show us is, in the grand scheme of things, humans have no real impact on this great planet. She can take us out of existence at any time she likes and no action against “climate change” is going to stop that. If the professor is right and we are causing this “catastrophic” rising of temperatures, are we going to destroy the earth before the Sun turns into a red giant, engulfing the first three planets in the solar system and destroys it for us? More scientific theory... To answer the professor’s question, yes I am still laughing. His satirical example of the decline in pirates being the cause of the rise in temperature is a perfect example of the type of cherry picking that the global warming alarmists do. I want someone to do a computer model proving that the best hot dogs come from apples, but I want to see the results before we plug in the data that you have to feed the apples to the pig first. That would be scientific fraud. The professor says that we need to take action and we need to do it now. There is a solution already in place. It’s a renewable resource, low maintenance, converts carbon dioxide into oxygen and it doesn’t take big government or the free market to do. The best part about it is it’s free! It’s called “THE TREE!” Or are we going to hear from the professor next that photosynthesis is scientific fraud because it doesn’t fit with his computer models? Scott Schoonmaker Laconia
Majority of affected residents oppose wind farms on ridgelines To The Daily Sun, Forget about the fact that some people can’t sleep because of them. Or that they cause property devaluations by up to 50 percent. Or that they’re a blight on the rural landscape. Forget about the fact that they make life unlivable for many autistic children. Or that many countries in the world are in the process of abandoning them. Or that they only operate less than 30 percent of the time and often when they’re not needed. Forget about the fact that they create virtually no jobs. Or that they seriously affect tourism. Or that they kill birds, bats and other wildlife. Forget about the fact that they’re causing the destruction of valuable land. Or that much of their profits go to foreign corporations. Or that they cause tinnitus and other hearing disorders for many people. Forget about the fact that it will likely cost us millions of dollars to decommission
them. Or that they’re driving a wedge between rural neighbors. Or that many people suffer headaches, dizziness, vertigo, nausea and other health disorders because of them. Forget about the fact that they’re so unreliable they require other traditional forms of energy production just to supplement the meager amount of power they produce. Forget that a large portion of wind energy is produced when we don’t need it (at night or in lower-use seasons). Forget that New Hampshire wind energy is being sent to southern states. Or that N.H. ratepayers will pay more for their electricity because of it. Forget all of it. Just remember this: Industrial wind turbines make absolutely zero economic sense. Hopefully now, the reality is starting to sink in... Get informed and ask anybody in the towns affected what they think about it. But wait there’s more — see next page

LETTERS Adjustments to the spine do nothing for our immune systems To The Daily Sun, Russ Wiles is at it again in his letter entitled “chiropractic warriors”. Published on the 18th of September in The Sun, he attacks me again with little in the way of facts, but full of failed attempts at adolescent humor. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I was out of town at a medical conference when it was first published. He accuses me of having a “little water on the brain”. He calls it “cranial waterloggus”. No Russ, the medical term is called Hydro Cephalous. I assume you are in your mid 60s Russ, isn’t it time for you to grow up and use medically correct terminology? This is a serious and devastating medical condition especially when it presents itself in the neo natal period. Anyone who can find any humor in this condition is really a sick, sick individual, Russ. It is really ironic that you pick this condition to try and belittle me, but more on that later. My first job as a PA was in the Department of Pediatrics, in the Division of Genetics, at the University of Florida. Oh , I am sorry Russ, here I am using my experience again in your own words, “as a sledge hammer to put me down ...”. Poor Russ, I just consider this a game of Intellectual Whack a Mole, with you Russ, as the mole. The ironic part of this, Russ, is that one of the main culprits for hydro cephalous in the neo natal period is an in utero infection with the Rubella virus. I had the opportunity to witness this first hand 30 years ago. Babies born to mothers with Rubella, or German measles can have severe cranial, ocular, and neurological disabili-
ties. One medical advance that has almost completely eliminated this is the widespread use of the MMR vaccine. Pregnant women to this day are still tested for antibodies to Rubella. Two shots at one year and five years of age provide lifelong immunity. What a concept, Vaccines as immunizations, yes they do work, despite what your hero Tim O’shea, DC, thinks. In your own idiotic attempt to belittle me you have actually allowed me to prove a point. Vaccines save lives and have changed the course of medical care worldwide. While you find chiropractors to be competent and caring individuals, I find them to be nothing but snake oil salesmen. If I can prevent just one parent from following their advice on not getting vaccinated, and if I can save one child from the devastating effects from a vaccine preventable disease, I consider that a major success. You see Russ, despite what you believe, adjustments do nothing for the immune system. Time and time again, I have given you and them an opportunity to prove me wrong and you both declined the challenge. These ongoing exchanges between us Russ, are starting to play out like an old vaudeville act, with you playing the role of my dim witted assistant, a role, ahem, you play quite admirable. You attempt to rile up the crowd with insane rants, only to be put in your place with a few well thought out facts. Only I don’t think you are acting. Finally , if you consider yourself one of the “chiropractic warriors” , I am more convinced than ever that I am on the right side of this argument. Mirno Pasquali PA -C Laconia
This country needs a guy like Ted Cruz to be the GOP nominee To The Daily Sun, I am on a time limit, due to borrowing a computer. So very quickly, first to Mr. Earle: you obviously won’t believe any real proof of Fox News’s lies. But it’s right in the very name of their network. Now if they were to call it something like Fox Right Wing Opinions, they would only be called liars when they actually tell lies. Actually I see lies all the time on MSNBC, they always have Republicans on their shows. Probably Republicans you’ve actually heard of, not like the list of “liberals” listed by the woman complaining that MSNBC didn’t cover the horror show of an abortion clinic in PA. And, of course she was wrong about that, I watch MSNBC in the early morning (“First Look”, “Way Too Early”, “Morning Joe”), and yes it was mentioned on at least those three shows. It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad that women want all abortion facilities to be even worse than that nightmare. I can’t possibly not comment on Jack from preceding page Newfound Lake residents, Cardigan Mountain residents and surrounding towns all consider themselves “NOT WILLING HOSTS”. The majority oppose them and that’s a fact. These projects will be a huge disaster for our pristine ridgelines. You want this? We certainly don’t. Ray Cunningham Bridgewater
Stephenson’s letter about how “lucky” some Africans were to be ripped from their lives and families to be sold into slavery . I can only hope you were being facetious, I sadly don’t think you were though. Maybe the reason that African-Americans don’t look to take sailing lessons up here in the Lakes Region is there are so very few of them anywhere near here, and who could blame them with people saying things like what you said Jack. You should be ashamed. In a country where we pay people millions of dollars who can successfully chase a ball around a court or field and I read in this very paper letters from people who claim that teachers are evil, it’s no wonder that kid’s who are not athletic are treated poorly. The kid that wrote that letter should take heart, there are places where intelligence is actually valued, and not really all that far away. Now just one more comment to Mr. Earle: Please, please, please work hard to get Ted Cruz higher in the polls for 2016. This country needs this guy to be the Republican presidential nominee. While your letters and those of other right wingers are amusing, we need to have some real entertainment. And from what I’ve seen of this guy, he can deliver. Go Hillary 2016! I have to stop now, hopefully I will be all computered up soon and will be able to comment in a more timely fashion. Marty Valengavich Belmont

LETTERS Let’s elect Ed Engler & then work with him to reach city’s potential To The Daily Sun, An open letter to the citizens of Laconia: Today is election day and I hope to encourage all to fulfill their obligation as participants in a free society, by informing themselves of the issues and candidates’ positions and to then cast their ballot for those they believe to be most qualified. As it pertains to the office of Mayor of Laconia, I will cast my ballot for Mr. Ed Engler. In explaining why, I would first like to thank Mr. Kaileif Mitchell for running against Mr. Engler for Mayor. In another election, at some other time, and under different circumstances, I would consider Mr. Mitchell’s leadership abilities and experience seriously. Given the questions and opportunities of today however, most would agree that Mr. Engler is the clear choice. Here are five observations and opinions that I have made, which I believe vignette the prudence of electing Mr. Engler. Mr. Engler has been a member of the Laconia Rotary Club since his arrival in Laconia. The motto of Rotary is “Service Above Self”. Mr. Engler has embodied that motto, whether he was acting as a member of the board of directors, as the treasurer, or as a volunteer at many, many raffle ticketselling obligations both locally and out of state. For more than a decade Mr. Engler has taken shifts at the Rotary booth in the Weirs selling tickets in June from sun-up to nearly midnight with scarcely a break for sustenance — all for the benefit of others
in our community. Though Rotary is forbidden from making a political endorsements or taking a position on proposed policies or proposed legislation, locally, nationally, or otherwise, it is my personal observation that Mr. Engler is well-liked by his contemporaries and very well respected by all. Mr. Engler is president of a newspaper business, which immediately conjures images of literacy in language, but please do not sell him short. I have found Mr. Engler to be comfortable and thoroughly literate with mathematics as well. It has frankly been encouraging to witness his thought process in playing out “what if” scenarios and teasing out trends that might not be obvious to the casual observer. In fact I would argue that his ability to write headlines — an art that is harder than one might think to do well — is really about boiling equations down to their lowest common denominators. Mr. Engler excels at getting to the heart of the matter in the fewest number of words. While holding back criticism of others, I applaud Mr. Engler’s approach to seeing and learning first-hand from problems and solutions in other municipalities. Whereas almost all stakeholders remained in Laconia, rather than avail themselves of a visit to Keene last November, Mr. Engler took it upon himself recently as a candidate to get on his motorcycle and ride there, to see the almost mythical economic growth happening there for himself. Just think of what he was able to see and deduce for himself that others were not. How
full are the parking lots? How many people are circulating on sidewalks and crosswalks? What is the real vacancy/ occupancy rate? Are the lessees truly the highest and best uses for the projects? What is the scale of the projects? How well do they integrate with each other? What were the unspoken and unintended consequences? I applaud Mr. Engler’s diligence as a candidate and quietly note that this is a terrific standard to set for others. Mr. Engler has been following city politics for years. He has watched and reported on the happenings of the City Council, the Planning Board, the Zoning Board, the Trustees of Trust Funds, the Parks Commission, the School Board, the Library Board of Trustees, the Water Commission, the County Delegation, The County Commission, the State Delegation, and more. Topics have covered capital expenditures, tax cap, crime fighting, union negotiations, educational programs litigation and more than can be covered in the scope of this letter. The comment frequently made by residents that, “if Ed doesn’t know what is going on nobody does”, runs much deeper than knowing what is going on with the City Council; Ed knows what is going on in our community. Lastly on my short list of attributes, is that Mr. Engler looks at each question armed with the history behind it, but with fresh eyes and an open mind. Take, for example, his own business model. In a world that was seeing plummeting periodical circulation numbers, growing periodical failures and closures, and a general belief that “newspapers
are dead”, Mr. Engler observed human activity on college campuses and in break rooms everywhere he could. He applied what he observed with his own eyes to his own business model and succeeded in doing what everybody else said couldn’t be done. He launched an upstart publication that has grown by a factor of eight-fold in just over 10 years, and which still sees substantial annual growth every year. If you are reading this article in today’s edition of The Laconia Daily Sun, then you know exactly what I mean. This endeavor had to have been risky; I am certain that even Mr. Engler himself must have held his breath when he signed the first contracts for commodities of paper and ink, etc. My guess is that hiring writers, reporters, photographers, graphic artists, sales people, before hiring a printer, buying miles of paper and tubs of ink is a much larger scale project than most of us appreciate. It also seems to me to have been substantially more than luck that fueled The Daily Sun’s success. No, it took due diligence, hard work, and an open mind to pave the way for his business success today. I ask my fellow Laconians to not only vote for Mr. Engler, but to work with him, if elected, as he tries to lead Laconia forward. Laconia is legendary around northern New Hampshire as a difficult place to accomplish new ideas. I ask that you trust in Mr. Engler’s process as fair, quantitative, methodical and deliberate. With his leadership and our cooperation Laconia will reach its phenomenal potential. John Moriarty, Laconia

LETTERS Voters need to keep Bob Hamel & Armand Bolduc working for them To The Daily Sun, Municipal elections are never about just one issue. There are many factors that come in to play and they are as diverse as the residents that populate those communities. As taxpayers, our job is to select the most competent representatives possible. In the City of Laconia, we know that two seats will see new representation; Ward 2 Councilor and the office of Mayor. In Wards 1, 3 and 4, the incumbents are running unopposed, while the incumbents in Wards 5 and 6 are being challenged. Over the past eight years, Ward 5 Councilor Bob Hamel has committed himself to making Laconia a better place to live, work and play. He has displayed a strong sense of fiscal responsibility, while continuing to look for ways for the city to keep moving forward. He is a constant watchdog, ensuring that we are not frivolously spending our community’s hard earned dollars. On the same token, he has been diligent in maintaining proper funding for much needed infrastructure improvements and worked extremely hard to provide economic opportunities for our local residents and businesses by championing the Huot Technical Center project. I am a resident of Ward 5 and my vote will go to the individual who will carry on our commitment to growing and prospering. That individual is Councilor Bob Hamel.
If you looked up the definition of “public servant” in the dictionary, you would probably see a picture of Ward 6 Councilor Armand Bolduc. His lengthy service to the city is legendary, having dedicated over 30 years of his life to our fine community. As incredible as that may seem, that is not what impresses me most about Councilor Bolduc. His commitment to his community through events such as Christmas Village, the Laconia World Championship Sled Dog Race, the Lakeport Freighthouse Museum, the Lakeport Community Association, the annual Leavitt Park carnival or any one of the countless events he has a direct hand in, is equally impressive. As chair of the Council’s Public Works Committee, Councilor Bolduc has worked tirelessly to insure that the city’s infrastructure is being maintained at the highest level possible. He is the genuine article — honest, hard-working and selfless. For decades, Councilor Bolduc has always been there, ready to serve his constituents in any way possible. A vote for Councilor Bolduc is a vote for stable and reliable representation. On Tuesday, November 5th, please honor those men and women who fight for our freedoms every day by exercising your right to vote. Michael Seymour Laconia
Sheriff warns of scam involving jury duty
LACONIA — The Belknap County Sheriff’s Department recently became aware of a scam in which random calls have been placed to individuals at their homes and their cell phones telling them they have ignored multiple notices to appear for jury duty. In some cases, the caller instructs them to report to their local Superior Courthouse immediately, however other callers have been told they can resolve the problem by paying a fine, encouraging them to give their credit or debit card information over the phone. Yet others, he said have been con-
tacted through e-mail. “This is clearly a scam, as the courts in New Hampshire do not deal with people who fail to appear for jury duty in this manner” said Sheriff Craig Wiggin. “In an extreme case where the court issued a warrant for contempt, the individual would be contacted by a member of the Sheriff’s Department.” Wiggin said he was not aware that this has occurred here, but it has happened in other parts of the states. Anyone who has received a call or e-mail of this nature in Belknap County is asked to contact the Sheriff’s Department at 527-5454.
LAX from page 2 who recently moved to Los Angeles from the small, blue-collar town of Pennsville, N.J., had a friend drop him at LAX on Friday just moments before he pulled a .223-caliber assault rifle from his duffel bag and opened fire, killing one TSA officer and wounding three other people, including two more TSA workers. Officials do not believe that the friend knew of the shooter’s plans. Ciancia arrived at the airport in a black Hyundai and was not a ticketed passenger. Ciancia is charged with murder of a federal officer and committing violence at an international airport, charges that could qualify him for the death penalty. It was not immediately clear when he would make a first court appearance given his medical condition. In court documents and interviews, authorities spelled out a chilling chain of events, saying Ciancia walked into the airport’s Terminal 3, pulled the
assault rifle from his duffel bag and fired repeatedly at 39-year-old TSA officer Gerardo I. Hernandez. He went up an escalator, turned back to see Hernandez move and returned to shoot him again, according to surveillance video reviewed by investigators. He then fired on two other uniformed TSA employees and an airline passenger, who all were wounded, as he moved methodically through the security checkpoint to the passenger gate area before airport police shot him as panicked travelers hid in stores and restaurants. It wasn’t clear why Ciancia targeted TSA officers, but what he left behind indicated he was willing to kill any of them who crossed his path, authorities revealed. The letter in his duffel bag refers to how Ciancia believed his constitutional rights were being violated by TSA searches and that he’s a “pissedoff patriot,” upset at former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.

GILFORD — The School Board has approved a $24,775,536 school budget, an increase of 2.74 percent ($677,164) over last year’s budget and which includes a warrant article which calls for approval of $111,798 for the first year of a new three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Gilford Education Association. Also included in the budget are a 3 percent raise for support staff, amounting to $73,858 and 2.75 percent for administrative employees, $27,746, which coupled with FICA and retirement costs of $20,321 add $121,925 to the proposed budget. The board also identified two major projects that it wants to complete next year, a new $200,000 telephone system and $105,000 for auditorium seating. Superintendent of Schools Kent Hemingway said that the three-year contract with teachers reflects $156,186 in health insurance savings in the firstyear of the contract. Voters will be asked to approve a warrant article for $111,798 to fund the first year on the union contract when they vote next March. Increases in subsequent years are $257,911 in 2015-
16 and $260,323 in 2016-17. He said that there is good news in the form of budget reductions, including a $115,000 proposed premium holiday from the Local Government Center, a $33,270 reduction for life and disability insurance, a $13,306 decrease in worker’s compensation insurance and lower heating oil costs amounting to $10,225. Hemingway said that the staff reductions this year include an elementary school special education teacher at a cost of $64,527, a Gilford Middle School teacher at a cost of $42,287, part-time support staff at $11,48 coupled with $58,613 in benefit savings. He said that staffing continues to reflect declining enrollment in Gilford schools, which has seen the number of students drop for 1338 in 2007 to 1194 this year, a drop of 144, or more than 10 percent. During that time certified staff have dropped from 132.2 to 119.6, a 10 percent drop while support staff have declined from 89 to 81.1, a 9 percent decrease. The school board will make presentations on its budget to the town Budget Committee on Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at the Gilford town office with a budget hearing scheduled on January 14 at Gilford High School.
BELMONT — Selectmen voted unanimously last night to present a proposed 2014 budget of $9,498,752 to the Budget Committee. The total represents a 0.49 percent increase over the 2013 plan. The amount to be raised by local taxes has risen to a proposed $5,962,237 from this year’s $5,516,131, which is an increase of $446,106 or about 8 percent. Town Administrator Jeanne Beaudin said the biggest revenue difference is a $350,000 decrease in Community Development Block Grant revenue. She also said her revenue estimates for 2014 were “very conservative.” “I think we’ve done a good job,” said Selectman
Jon Pike who noted that the decrease in revenue coupled with an increase in the contribution to the state retirement system were factors beyond the control of the town. Employee raises for non-union employees averaged a 1 percent cost-of-living adjustment and one step on the pay scale ladders. Beaudin said the town is negotiating contracts with the Public Service employees and the Public Safety employees for 2014. The Budget Committee meets tonight at 6:30 p.m. in the Corner Meeting House and Beaudin will be making a formal presentation at that time. — Gail Ober

ALTON — Prospect Mountain boy’s soccer team earned a spot in the quarter-finals after a physical win over the Raymond Rams 3-2. “Our boys showed a lot of character today.” said Prospect coach Gary Noyes. “We panicked early but settled down late in the first half.” Raymond jumped out to an early lead scoring three minutes into the first off the foot of Rams midfielder Tucker MacPhearson. The Timberwolves evened the score six minutes later on a Matt Hamilton goal. The score remained tied until the middle of the second half when Prospect captain midfielder Ken Gilbert was taken down inside the box an awarded a penalty kick. Gilbert went right and the Raymond goalie went left. Raymond responded quickly on MacPherson’s second goal of the game two minutes later. Both teams had quality chances to find the back of the net, but the impressive play of both goalkeepers kept the score knotted up at two. Prospect eventually broke the tie on a Gilbert header off of a throw in from the right side. Gilbert’s second goal would hold up as the game winner after much pressure from the Rams and and the setting sun in the eyes of Prospect’s goalie. Raymond’s last quality chance came on a corner kick that was caught by Prospect’s keeper. Raymond’s coach and players felt that the ball was caught in the net which would have resulted in a goal, but the referees said he was in the field of play resulting in no goal. Prospect Mountain will take on Hopkinton Thursday at 6 p.m. The quarter-final match will be at Merrimack Valley High School.
BELMONT — The Belmont High School girls’ soccer team could not advance past Campbell in Saturday’s quarter-final match in the NHIAA Division III tournament. The third seed Red Raiders were upset 3-1 by the 7th seed Campbell Cougars. Campbell put the pressure on early and often. Belmont goalie Kaitlyn Berry stood up to the challenge, until Campbell midfielder Angela Valenti netted the first goal with 48 seconds remaining in the first half. The second half began with an unfortunate mistake
net. The goal was credited to Campbell forward Nicole Golden. Belmont cut the lead in half just shy of the halfway mark in the second half when Kelsey Scott accepted the pass from Cassie Contigiani and buried it over the right shoulder of the Campbell keeper. That was as close as Belmont would get. The Cougars added an insurance goal ten minutes later to take down the Red Raiders and advance to the semi-finals at Merrimack Valley on Wednesday at 4 p.m. Raymond will square off against the third seeded Hopkinton Hawks.

Sachem football can’t finish storybook ending By Tim marTin
LACONIA — With post-season hopes hanging in the balance, the Sachems (3-6) put up 20 points in the second half of the team’s final regular season game on Friday only to fall short on the comeback 34-27 to Milford (6-3). Laconia headed into the locker room at halftime down 20-7. When they returned to the field, the Sachems scored four straight touchdowns to take a one point lead with 1:27 seconds remaining in the game. Milford cut down the improbable comeback, driving 48 yards down the field on four plays. Milford running back Mitchell Bansuskevich carried the ball on all four plays, capping the drive off with a one yard run into the end zone. Laconia had one last possession, but could not manage to cross midfield. The Sachems’ season ended on an incomplete pass on fourth down. “We had the storybook ending for our seniors in the works, but could not finish it,” coach Craig Kozens said about the comeback attempt. “I am
very proud of these kids. This group has been one of my favorite teams I have ever coached. If I were an employer, I would hire each and everyone of the guys,” Kozens added about this team. “For the game, we couldn’t contain the outside. Milford beat us to the edge all night. Milford came to play and they and played well” Milford controlled the first half, scoring three touchdowns to jump out to a 20-0 lead. Bansuskevich carried the bulk of the load, carrying the ball 27 times for 210 yards and three touchdowns. Laconia ended the shutout with two minutes remaining in the second quarter when Matt Swormstedt hooked up with Dylan Martel on a 26 yard score. The Sachems only needed 15 seconds in the second half to cut the lead to six. Senior captain John Pelky found a hole on the right side and scampered down Laconia’s sideline for a 51 yard score. After three consecutive three and outs, Laconia found the back of the end zone again with a little trickery. Swormstedt handed the ball to Kyle Chiasson who hit a see next page
from preceding page kills and Stratton Coleman 1 kill. “We played very steady volleyball tonight and it is evident we are peaking at the right time. We had a balanced attack utilizing all of our hitters, our defense was solid with 68 digs and we served 95 percent including 7 aces. The key was that we kept our composure throughout the entire match, especially when we had to come from behind in the first two games.” Milford jumped out and took the lead early in the first game 6-4 and 7-6 before Gilford tied the game on a Danica Gelotte tip kill from the setter position. Gilford held onto a slim 9-8 lead when Maddie Harris put down a kill spike for point 10 to make the score 10-8. Mikaela Mattice came to the service line and served four straight points to give Gilford a 14-8 lead. In that service run, Danica Gelotte had a kill tip for point 11, Kirsten Dionne had kill spikes for point 12 and 14 and Maddie Harris had a block for point 13. Milford rallied back and tied the game 19-19. With the game tied, Jordan Dean came to the service line and served 3 straight points including an ace serve for point 22 to give Gilford a 22-19 lead. In that run Mikaela Mattice had a kill for point 20. Maddie Harris ended game one with a kill for the final point to give Gilford a 25-20 win. Milford jumped out to a 6-1 lead in game two. Milford held the lead until Mikaela Mattice came to the
service line down 10-8. Mattice ace served point 9 and then Gilford tied the game 10-10. Gilford took a 12-11 lead that they would not relinquish on a Danica Gelotte ace serve for point 12. The Gilford offense finished out game two strong with kill spikes by Mikaela Mattice for points 21 and 22 and a kill spike for point 23 by Maddie Harris. Gilford won game two 25-19. Gilford came out strong in game three and won 25-17 highlighted by 7 kills, 2 aces and 1 block. Jordan Dean scored 4 points with 3 kills and 1 ace, Maddie Harris scored 2 points with 1 kill and 1 block, and 5 players contributed with 1 point apiece: Shannon Mercer (1 ace), Stratton Coleman (1 kill), Mikaela Mattice (1 kill), Kirsten Dionne ( 1 kill), and Danica Gelotte ( 1 kill). “Danica Gelotte played an exceptional game from the setter position. She set up a balanced offensive attack and she played well defensively. A lot of pressure is on the setter and we feel she handled it extremely well.” Gelotte finished with 17 assists, 10 digs and 4 kills. “Shannon Mercer played well as our defensive specialist coming up with some key digs against Milford’s right side hitter.” Mercer finished with 10 digs. Gilford advances to the semi-final round and will face top-seeded Coe-Brown on Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Pinkerton Academy.

Inter-Lakes volleyball upsets Campbell for ticket to semi-finals, Lakers will face Nute on Wednesday On Thursday night in Meredith, the Inter-Lakes High School varsity volleyball team captured a straight set win over 12th ranked Epping High School in the preliminary round of the NHIAA Division III volleyball tournament, 25-15, 25-14, 25-19. Leading the way for the 5th seeded Lakers were senior captains, Jordan Donohue (18 kills, 10 digs) and Lydia Swedberg (16 points, 10 digs). Jenny Pelczar registered 11 points, five aces and nine digs in the win. Also contributing were Hayley Roth (27 assists, six points), Sarah Sundius (6 kills) and Victoria Burns (seven points, three aces). Inter-Lakes heads to Campbell High School on Saturday night, where the team took a hard-fought road win in the quarterfinals of the NHIAA Division III volleyball tournament. The Lakers downed the fourth-ranked Cougars in straight sets, 27-25, 25-23, 25-18. Donohue knocked down 19
kills to lead the offense, while also registering nine digs and two blocks. Swedberg finished the evening with 14 service points and 10 digs. The senior libero set a new school record for season points, totaling 219 to date, breaking the old record of 205 set by Rachel Burack in 2005. Hayley Roth racked up 24 assists, and eight digs. The senior setter’s 448 assists on the season, is also a new school record, eclipsing the old mark of 438 set by Hanna Roberge in 2011. Other key contributors in the impressive team effort were Pelczar (10 points, seven digs), Jessica Schofield (six kills, four blocks), Sundius (five kills), Burns (seven points, two aces) and Kaila Martin (six points, six digs). InterLakes will meet the top-seeded Nute High School Rams in the semi-finals of the Division III tournament at Plymouth State University on Wednesday, November 6 at 7 p.m.
Belmont volleyball gets tripped up in Sunapee The Belmont High School Red Raiders won their first round playoff volleyball game at home against Farmington on October 31. Set scores were 25-23, 25-19 and 25-18. Said coach Melissa Miner, “Tonight was the best I have seen them all play in a couple of weeks. Every player was a contributing factor to the win. The biggest key to our success was we played together as a team.” Belmont’s Megan Bailey recorded one kill, five digs and 27 assists. Alyssa Woods had seven kills and one dig. Louisa Bergeron had ten kills. Shannon Conway had five kills and four digs, and Jessie Bergeron had 28 digs and one assist. Belmont traveled to Sunapee on Sunday for the quarter-final match, where the Raiders’ dreams of making the semi-final round were dashed with
a 3-1 loss. The match was very competitive, with each set decided by four points or less. Miner said, “It wasn’t the ending that the Red Raiders wanted. We were determined to get to the Final Four in Plymouth. However, Sunapee gave us a fight, they are a very scrappy and smart team. We struggled in the first three matches with a lot of unforced errors and serving errors, but we kept pushing on. I was hoping that with the experience that we had with five seniors that would be an advantage, but it just wasn’t our day. We had a great season and will be saddened with the departure of our seniors.” In Sunapee, Woods recorded one ace, six kills and one dig. Bailey had one ace, six kills, two digs and 36 assists. Conway had six kills, Louisa Bergeron had 11 kills and Jessie Bergeron had one ace, one kill and 19 digs.

from preceding page wide open senior Chris Frontiero for an 80 yard touchdown. Laconia, leading 21-20, could not hold back Bansuskevich and the Spartans. Milford answered right back with an eight play drive that found the end zone. In the fourth quarter the Sachems started the a drive on their own 20 yard line with 4:20 seconds remaining. The drive looked as though it was going to be stalled on a fourth and three when Fron-
tiero gained eight yards up the middle. After an offsides penalty, Swormstedt found Chiasson for a gain of 30. hurrying to the line, Laconia got off a quick play that saw Chiasson break away for a 40 yard touchdown. Milford was not phased and put the nail in the coffin on the one yard touchdown of their own. The first football season in Bank of New Hampshire Stadium came to an end with the Sachems ending the year with 3-9 record.

left the team, and Philbin declined to answer a question about the locker-room culture because of the ongoing investigation. Recent rumblings of lockerroom dissension have also included complaints by young players that they’re pressured to pay more than their share when team members socialize together. Philbin also said he was unaware of hazing incidents that involved Incognito — such as hacking into a teammate’s Facebook page — on the HBO series “Hard Knocks,” which chronicled the Dolphins’ training camp in 2012. Philbin said he never watched the show. “If the review shows that this is not a safe atmosphere, I will take whatever measures are necessary to ensure that it is,” Philbin said. “I have that obligation to the players that I coach on a daily basis and I will do that.” Before being suspended, Incognito posted several tweets saying he wanted his name cleared. “Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth,” Incognito tweeted, quoting Buddha. Agents for the two players didn’t respond Monday to requests for comment. Martin is with his family in Los Angeles for counseling. Incognito has long had a reputation as one of the NFL’s dirtiest players. During his first four years, he led the league in penalties for unnecessary rough-

the moderator, supervisor of the check list or city clerk may accept any other photo ID or vouch for the identity of the voter. Names on ID cards must substantially conform to the names on the checklist. There are two candidates for mayor, Kailief Mitchell and Ed Engler. Three of the sitting city councilors are running for re-election without opponents — Ava Doyle in Ward 1, Henry Lipman in Ward 3 and Brenda Baer in Ward 4. The remaining three City Council seats are contested. In Ward 2, the candidates are David Bownes and Richard Beaudoin. In Ward 5, the candidates are Bob Hamel and Tom Tardif. IN Ward 6 the candidates are Tony Felch and Armand Bolduc. Sample ballots for each of the six wards are available on the city website.

ness, and the St. Louis Rams got fed up with his undisciplined play and released him during the 2009 season. “There’s certain people out there who are just punks, and he wants to be that kind of guy,” former Seahawks and Lions defensive end Lawrence Jackson said Monday. “But because he’s a lineman, he gets away with a lot of stuff that people don’t see. ... Incognito is way worse than anybody I ever played against.” However, there have been fewer such complaints since Incognito joined the Dolphins in 2010. Last year he was voted by the league’s players into the Pro Bowl for the first time. He was the co-winner of the Dolphins’ Good Guy Award, given to the team’s most cooperative player by the local media. He also won frequent praise from Dolphins coaches for his leadership, and this year he was voted by teammates to serve as a member of the Dolphins’ player council. Philbin said the Dolphins had a team meeting on the matter. Predictably, it was not a topic many players wanted to say much about. “I’m concentrating on football,” Dolphins defensive end Cameron Wake said. At Nebraska, Incognito’s career was cut short when he was suspended in 2004 before his junior season following a locker room altercation with a teammate. He also ran into problems with the law while with the Cornhuskers, and they said he repeatedly violated team rules.

603-965-3642 State Senator Jeane Forrester (R-Meredith) speaks at Railroad Promotion and Marketing Day at the Meredith Railroad station Saturday. The annual event, which was started by Executive Councilor Ray Burton, who recently announced that he will not run for re-election due to a re-occurrence of kidney cancer, drew about 200 people who rode on the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad to Plymouth and back. Forrester announced that she will introduce legislation to name an overlook with views of Mount Washington in honor of Burton. (Roger Amsden photo for the Laconia Daily Sun)
Rail fans were thinking of Ray Burton on Sat. By RogeR Amsden FOR THE LACONIA DAILY SUN
MEREDITH — The annual Railroad Promotion Marketing Day went off as planned Saturday despite the absence of the man who started it, Executive Councilor Ray Burton, and nearly 200 people headed north from the Meredith Train Station on the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad for a train ride and lunch at the Plymouth Senior Center. Burton, who has served as Executive Councilor for District 1 for 18 terms and recently announced that he would not run for re-election due to a re-occurrence of kidney cancer,
was honored the day before at a ceremony at a scenic overlook in Bretton Woods near the Mount Washington Hotel which drew both of the New Hampshire’s U.S. senators, Governor Maggie Hassan, as will as past governors and state officials that Burton has served with in his nearly 40 years in state service. State Senator Jeane Forrester (R-Meredith) spoke at Railroad Promotion and Marketing Day and praised Burton for his many years of service, in particular to the North Country, and announced that she will introduce legislation to name the see next page

RED SOX from page 2 manager Ben Cherington said the team decided not to make an offer to Jarrod Saltalamacchia, though he would like to re-sign the catcher. “There’s interest in every one of them,” Cherington said. “I also think it’s unlikely that every one of them will be back. ... We’re going to keep the conversation going with all of them, and also with alternatives, and see where the market shapes up. In a vacuum we’d like to have all of them back.” The Red Sox went from worst to first a year after dumping three of their biggest contracts — Josh Beckett, Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford — on the Los Angeles Dodgers at a savings of about $261.7 million. Instead of making a big splash in free agency last offseason, they signed mid-market players like Napoli, Drew, Shane Victorino and Koji Uehara. Cherington said the lessons learned from their successes and failures won’t be forgotten. “I think we have to go into this offseason with the same general mindset: to build a roster as deep as we can,” he said. “The general philosophy would lead us toward a lot of the same things we were looking for last year.” The oft-injured Ellsbury is expected to seek a longterm deal averaging $20 million or more. A year after missing more than half the season, he played in 134 games and batted .298 with nine homers, stealing 52 bases in 56 tries. “Jacoby’s a terrific player, as everyone knows. Of course we know we’re a better team when he’s on the field than when he’s not,” Cherington said, adding that if they cannot sign him they would consider moving Victorino, who won a Gold Glove in left field, to center field and looking for a corner outfielder. “That would be one possibility,” Cherington said. “We recognize how good he was in right field, and how valuable his defense was in right field. He’s capable of doing it.” Napoli and Drew might accept the qualifying offer or use it as the basis for negotiations on a multiyear contract. Saltalamacchia, who made $4.5 million this year, could still re-sign with the team at a lower salary. The Red Sox declined to make qualifying offers to infielder John McDonald and reliever Joel Hanrahan, who were not on the World Series roster. Also Monday, the team said outfielder Quintin Berry and infielder Brandon Snyder were sent outright to Triple-A Pawtucket and became free agents. from preceding page overlook with views of Mount Washington in honor of Burton. ‘’He had a big hand in many important things that have happened in the state and had a strong commitment to the whole district, especially the North Country, ‘’ Forrester. Mike Cryens of Hanover, who has served 18 years as a Grafton County Commissioner with Burton, said that the county will name the site of the old Grafton County Jail, which was recently torn down from its location on a scenic bluff, will be renamed Ray Burton Park in honor of the long-time North Country political leader. ‘’He was a dedicated public servant who was always upbeat and positive,’’ said Cryens, who drew a big laugh from the crowd with his story about Burton. ‘’It seems that a young reporter went up to Ray after Bernie Steeter had retired and asked him how it felt to be the dean of the Executive Council. Ray took him over to a map and pointed out how large his Executive Council district was and asked ‘why would I want to be known as Dean of the Executive Council when I’m already King of the North Country?’ ‘’. Lyman Cousens, who worked with Burton to promote railroad safety for many years, said that all passengers on the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad trip would receive a commemorative mug honoring Burton’s work. Ben Clark, president of the Hobo and Winnipesaukee Scenic Railroad, said that Railroad Promotion and Marketing Day will continue to be a tradition after Burton leaves office and that Burton will forever be remembered for his service to those who live in the North Country.
2013 Meredith property tax burden up 7.2% MEREDITH — The New Hampshire Department of Revenue Administration has set the 2013 property tax rate at $14.41 per $1,000 of assessed valuation, an increase of $1.79, or 14 percent, over the 2012 rate. The amount to be raised by property taxes rose by $1,664,699, from $23,180,421 to $24, 845,120, an increase of 7.2 percent, while the total assessed valuation shrank by $115,283,407, from $1,856,317,320 to $1,741,033,913, a decrease of 6.2 percent. The town tax increased from $4.20 to $4.55, the local school tax from
$4.76 to $5.76, the state education tax from $2.29 to $2.59 and the county from $1.37 to $1.51. Town Manager Phil Warren told the Board of Selectmen that the increase in the tax rate was primarily a result of the decline in the assessed valuation, itself a reflection of an adjustment to the equalization ratio, which measures the relationship between assessed values and market values. In 2012, the ratio was 106.1 percent, indicating that assessed values exceeded market values by 6.1 percent.
Meredith spending would rise 3.2% in 2014 under plan drafted by town manager By Michael Kitch MEREDITH — Town Manager Phil Warren outlined his proposed budget for 2014 to the Board of Selectmen at a workshop yesterday. He recommended increasing municipal expenditures by $430,186, or 3.2 percent, from $13,627,664 to $14,057,850. Warren began by recalling the parameters set by the selectmen in September when they agreed that current service levels, themselves reduced from prior years, should be maintained without introducing new programs or services. Likewise, no new positions should be created and no job reclassifications should be approved while vacancies would be evaluated as they occur rather than automatically filled. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) should continue to be funded, with consideration to deferred expenditures for replacing equipment and improving roads as well as to reconstructing the Public Works facility. Finally, the Selectboard agreed to weigh step raises and salary adjustments for employees once the budget is complete in January. Warren said that he was recommending increases of $218,406 in the town operating budget and $106,000 in the water and sewer operating budget. The CIP budget of $1,792,000 would include $277,312 for new projects, $475,000 for expendable trust funds and the balance in debt service. Expendable trust funds of $200,000
for the Fire Department and $275,000 for the Public Works Department would be applied to purchases of a rescue vehicle and equipment replacement. An appropriation of $177,000 would be applied to exterior renovations at the library. The town budget includes an appropriation for the Lakes Region Mutual Fire Aid Association budget, which was stricken from the county budget and will now be billed directly to member municipalities. The budgets of the police, fire and parks and recreation departments were increased to meet the cost of operating facilities and replacing equipment. Warren said that workers compensation costs are expected to rise 7 percent and health insurance premiums by an equal amount, which he described as “very competitive in this market.” Warren told the selectmen he projects $397,000 will be added to the undesignated fund balance at year, bringing the total to $2.5 million. This year $1,475,000 was drawn from the fund balance of $3.6-million, of which $750,000 was spent on capital projects and $725,000 was added to revenues to offset to reduce the amount raised by property taxes. Warren anticipated that less could be withdrawn to offset property taxes in 2014 than in past years. The selectmen will hold work sessions on the budget on December 9, 10 and 11, beginning at 4 p.m. in the Town Hall Annex.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A moderate Republican senator is calling for a “time out” in the implementation of President Barack Obama’s new health care program. New Hampshire’s Sen. Kelly Ayotte tells “CBS This Morning” that with the problems in the plan’s roll-out, it’s necessary to regroup. The Healthcare.gov web site has been plagued with access problems and at least 3.5 million Americans
have received cancellation notices. Ayotte said the problems go “much deeper than the website.” She adds, quote, “I would like us to take a complete time out and let us work together.” Ayotte advocated convening a bipartisan group of lawmakers, saying, “Let’s see how we can get this right for the people.” Ayotte says she has supported repealing what administration critics call “Obamacare,” but says that’s not going to happen.

FRANKLIN — The Franklin Business and Professional Women (BPW) recently received a record number of nominations for this year’s Woman of Achievement. Patricia Prescott was chosen from nominees who are outstanding in their career, lend assistance to other women in their advancement, give guidance to youth and young career women and provide leadership and advancement to Central New Hampshire. Prescott was celebrated for her outstanding 19-year career in the Franklin School District where she began as an 8th Grade Teacher’s Assistant at Franklin Middle School. After deciding to further her education to become a Special Education teacher, she continued her career at both Paul Smith and Rowell Elementary Schools. For the past 13 years, Prescott has been the Program Director for Franklin High School’s School to Work Program, working with at-risk youth. This job and career development program offers eligible students a unique, hands-on approach to academic instruction and pre-employment work while building many skill and increasing maturity. Prescott leads the students through job and career shadowing, job and career internships, leadership activities, experience running a retail business (Campus Creations/Franklin High School’s school store), and adult mentoring and summer program employ-
ment. She gives guidance, leadership, and mentoring to Franklin youth who may have otherwise not graduated high school, and attained the skills necessary to obtain employment and pursue a career. Additionally, she has assisted many youth in overcoming their own personal barriers, which may have prevented them from becoming productive members of the community and reaching their own personal goals. Prescott created Campus Creations, a non-profit, retail business that is operated by the School to Work students, allowing them to experience running an actual business. Campus Creations expanded from its storefront downtown to its larger presence at Franklin High School, making it more convenient for students and staff to purchase school spirit items, school supplies and other everyday items. Proceeds are used to improve and sustain the store operation. This retail business provides the School to Work Program students with a handson opportunity that includes employment skill competencies. This year’s Woman of Achievement celebration was sponsored by Franklin Savings Bank; the presentation bouquet and floral centerpiece arrangements were provided by Marshall’s Florists. The Franklin BPW, established in 1948, has annually honored a distinguished Woman of Achievement since 1968.

Gilford to get update on 331-acre Gage Parcel GILFORD — Russ Wilder, chairman of the Belknap Range Conservation Coalition, will present a program on the findings of an ecological assessment conducted by ecologist, Dr. Rick Van de Poll of the Gage property at a meeting at the Gilford Library, Potter Hill Road,on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:30 p.m. The 331-acre Gage parcel is a major portion of Moulton Valley in the Belknap Range and is comprised of the northeastern slopes of Piper Mountain nearly to the top, and south and southeast faces of Belknap Mountain. It is one of four parcels, totaling 961 acres, that the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests (SPNHF), the Lakes Region Conservation Trust (LRCT) and the Belknap Range
Conservation Coalition (BRCC) are working to preserve. The project faces a December 1 deadline. The importance of protecting the Gage parcel has been well known by Gilford’s Land Conservation Task Force and Conservation Commission as evidenced by 10 years of previous attempts at procuring its 331 acres. Belknap Range map maker/hiker/historian, Dave Roberts has agreed to be in the audience to answer questions and to share his love for this particular property. Roberts made the first comprehensive accurate map of the 70-mile trail network in the Belknaps and was recently honored by the SPNHF as its Conservationist of the Year.o

Mouth sores can be painful, unsightly and annoying. Most mouth sores are caused by infections (bacterial, viral or fungal) or trauma. Canker sores and cold sores are the most common and can be distinguished by definite differences. Canker sores are small ulcers with a white or gray base and a red border that occur inside the mouth and usually take a week or two to heal. They are not contagious. Cold sores are blisters that occur outside the mouth (mostly around the edge of the lips) and they heal on their own in about one week. They are contagious. Once you have the virus associated with cold sores (Herpes type 1), you will always have it, although it may remain dormant for years. Thrush is a fungal infection and occurs when a specific type (Candida albicans) of yeast reproduces in large numbers. This type of yeast infection is common among denture wearers. Smokers are prone to leukoplakia – a thick white colored patch that forms on the inside of the cheeks, gums or tongue. This is caused by excess cell growth and it can develop into cancer, so a biopsy may be indicated. Oral cancer strikes an estimated 34,000 Americans each year, and over 7,000 die each year. During an oral exam, your dentist thoroughly examines the inside of your mouth and tongue to determine if that spot, bump, or sore is harmless or not. Early detection of oral cancer could be a life-saver – have you been checked out lately?

LAUNDRY from page one hospital expects the relocation to be a long-term arrangement. “It’s the perfect setup,” Stiles said yesterday. On September 22, LRGHealthcare lost its laundry facilities in a three-alarm blaze that gutted a commercial building on the corner of Fair and Court Streets. The hospital company was a tenant in the building and although firefighters were able to save two trucks, Stiles said most of the rest of the equipment was destroyed or damaged beyond repair. She said LRGHeathcare is still working with their insurance companies to know the exact amount of their losses. Stiles confirmed yesterday that the company lost all of the linen in the building, some of their machines, the conveyor belts, and all of their supplies. She also said that LRGHealthcare looked at many options including staying with sub-contractors before deciding on keeping the laundry in-house and going to the industrial park, a place she described a “perfect” for the laundry. In the interim, LRGHeathcare has been sub-contracting their laundry services to Kleen Linen of Lebanon. The laundry employes eight full-time workers, a
number of part-time employees and processes about 1-million pounds of laundry annually said Stiles. She said all of the employees have been kept on the payroll and have been assisting in other departments. All laundry and linen used by Lakes Region General Hospital, Franklin Regional Hospital, and all affiliates is done by the operation. Stiles said yesterday that now that the ink is dry on the contract with Odilon “Odie” Cormier, her company will be evaluating the building to see what work needs to be done to get the hospital facilities up and running. She said LRGHealthcare has rented the back portion of the building at 144 Lexington Drive and it is the space that the former hosiery mill used for production. The front of the building is used by Smiths Tubular Systems (Titeflex). Stiles said the space is ideal however she wanted to thank Mike McCarthy, who is the owner of the Court Street building for being a wonderful landlord. McCarthy said last week that he was still not sure if the portion of the building that housed the laundry will have to be razed. As of yesterday it was still standing. Fire Chief Ken Erickson said the flames didn’t reach the laundry portion of the building during the morning of the blaze but there was significant chemical, water and smoke damage done to the commercial laundry equipment. Erickson said the fire is suspicious and continues to be one of several recent fires being investigated by city police and the N.H. Fire Marshal’s Office.

BOSTON (AP) — Supporters and foes of two highprofile Massachusetts casino proposals are making final pitches to local residents in advance of critical votes that could determine whether the projects ever get off the ground. Voters in East Boston and Revere will weigh in Tuesday on Suffolk Downs’ proposed $1 billion casino at the 78-year-old thoroughbred racetrack. Favorable votes are needed before Suffolk Downs can apply to the state’s gambling commission for the sole eastern Massachusetts casino license. A Suffolk Downs official said he was “very optimistic” about the vote despite fallout from the track’s recent decision to sever ties with its operating partner, Caesars Entertainment, following a background check by the commission. Voters in Palmer, meanwhile, will decide on Tuesday whether Mohegan Sun can move forward with its bid to secure the single western Massachusetts casino license. URESPONSIVE from page one
slumped over the wheel with a “snorting straw in his hand and a pill container on his lap.” During the investigation, police said they found a bottle with blue pills and Mitza told them they belonged to his father. Mitza’s wife, Tracy, told police they were alprazolam. In arguing for cash bail in court yesterday, Gilford Prosecutor, Sgt. Eric Bredbury said Mitza is on bail while awaiting trial for in Belknap County Superior Court for sale of narcotics. He also noted Mitza was in the parking lot of a posted safe school zone and Bredbury said police are still reviewing the video cameras at the school to see if he will face additional charges for driving while after being deemed an habitual offender while in the school parking lot. Affidavits said Mitza is a habitual offender with prior convictions for forgery in 2008, and a variety of misdemeanor convictions from 2002 until 2007. Public Defender Kate Geraci asked for personal recognizance bail saying Mitza was the caregiver for his wife and two children and also helps care for his father. She said he was recommended for Recovery Court. “He wants to get the help that he needs,” Geraci said, noting he won’t get it if he’s locked up in the Belknap County House of Corrections. She also said he is reporting court ordered supervision and will agree to any additional bail restrictions if freed. In ordering cash bail, Judge Jim Carroll said he was “significantly aware” of the challenges Mitza faces but that he also has real concerns for his own well being as well as that of the people he cares for. LOST from page one buddy called the Fish and Game Officers. Conservation Officer Chris Egan said its was hovering around 34 degrees, snowing, windy, and getting dark. He said he feared that if Colburn was lost, he would develop hypothermia. Egan said conservation officers used lights, sirens, and air horns beginning in the area Colburn was last seen. Pittsburg Police and a U.S. Border Patrol Agent assisted in the search. At 10:30 p.m., Egan said Colburn responded when he heard them calling for them. They said he was about one mile from where he was last seen. Egan said Colburn was cold and wet but other than a few scratches on his face he was unharmed. Colburn was carrying a small pack, a light, a radio and a Global Positioning Sensor but the radio was not working properly. He told the officers he was preparing to “settle in for the night” when he heard them calling for him. He told conservation officers he had begun to shiver, which is one of the first signs of hypothermia. He was assisted to an All-Terrain Vehicle and transported to Back Lake Road where he declined medical treatment. — Gail Ober

self to cold logic. Absurdity has its place and time, namely today. Your rationality has earned this! AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your version of the truth is not the same as another person’s, but both are equally true. Instead of wondering how this can be, you’ll try to tolerate and learn from the other version. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are a sincere friend, and you truly care about the people around you. You care about yourself, too, which is why you erect boundaries. Enforcing a few rules will bring out the best in everyone. TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 5). Don’t be overly concerned about the usefulness of your activities. Your best results will come from working for the love of it and for the sheer beauty of the process. Relationships get richer and more interesting in December. You’ll win a prize in January. Health improves because you establish a new routine in May. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 13, 20, 4 and 17.
by Darby Conley
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You can share your feelings without blaming anyone else for inspiring them. Because you’re so good at this, you’ll create good will in a difficult situation. Tonight, give yourself a break! TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Would you rather have one dollar now or two dollars in a week? Various forms of this question and others that have to do with short-term versus long-term benefits will arise. Stay strong! GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Do what you can to minimize your exposure to known stress-inducers such as noise, crowds and any unpleasantness that is outside of your control. Your good mood depends on it. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Before you leave the house, you usually do a preparation check to make sure you have what you need for where you’re going. Today you’ll do well to take it to the next level and make sure you’re ready for anything. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you only buy what you completely and totally love, you won’t regret the purchase later. Skip anything you merely like, because your tastes are rapidly changing, and tomorrow you might not like it anymore. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You are friendly to everyone, but you keep your relationships clean and simple by also maintaining boundaries. Over-sharing is a symptom of the times that you try not to exhibit. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your energy is high, and you feel industrious. Working with your hands makes you feel human in the best possible way. Bonus: You’ll be proud of whatever you fix, build or grow now. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You won’t like being in a place where too many things compete for your attention, but the good that comes from it is that you will be inspired to create your own environment. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Authenticity matters. Instead of trying to do your best, just try to do what feels genuine. One definition of success is being the most like you that you can possibly be. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It is unhealthy and unproductive to enslave your-

––––––– ALMANAC ––––––– Today is Tuesday, Nov. 5, the 309th day of 2013. There are 56 days left in the year. This is Election Day. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 5, 1912, Democrat Woodrow Wilson was elected president, defeating Progressive Party candidate Theodore Roosevelt, incumbent Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene V. Debs. On this date: In 1605, the “Gunpowder Plot” failed as Guy Fawkes was seized before he could blow up the English Parliament. In 1781, the Continental Congress elected John Hanson of Maryland its chairman, giving him the title of “President of the United States in Congress Assembled.” In 1872, suffragist Susan B. Anthony defied the law by attempting to cast a vote for President Ulysses S. Grant. (Anthony was convicted by a judge and fined $100, but she never paid the fine.) In 1911, aviator Calbraith P. Rodgers arrived in Pasadena, Calif., completing the first transcontinental airplane trip in 49 days. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt won an unprecedented third term in office as he defeated Republican challenger Wendell L. Willkie. In 1942, American showman George M. Cohan died in New York at age 64. In 1968, Richard M. Nixon won the presidency, defeating Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey and American Independent candidate George C. Wallace. In 1974, Ella T. Grasso was elected governor of Connecticut, becoming the first woman to win a gubernatorial office without succeeding her husband. In 1987, Supreme Court nominee Douglas H. Ginsburg admitted using marijuana several times in the 1960s and 70s, calling it a mistake. In 1990, Rabbi Meir Kahane, the Brooklynborn Israeli extremist, was shot to death at a New York hotel. (Egyptian native El Sayyed Nosair was convicted of the slaying.) In 1992, Malice Green, a black motorist, died after he was struck in the head 14 times with a flashlight by a Detroit police officer, Larry Nevers, outside a suspected crack house. (Nevers and his partner, Walter Budzyn, were found guilty of second-degree murder, but the convictions were overturned; they were later convicted of involuntary manslaughter.) Ten years ago: Green River serial killer Gary Leon Ridgway pleaded guilty to strangling 48 women over two decades, most of them near Seattle. (Ridgway was sentenced to life in prison. In 2011, he pleaded guilty to a 49th murder.) Five years ago: One day after being elected president, Barack Obama began filling out his new administration, selecting Illinois Rep. Rahm Emanuel to be White House chief of staff. One year ago: On the eve of the presidential election, President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney held rallies seven miles apart in Columbus, Ohio, as two polls showed Obama with a one-percentage-point lead over Romney.

Annie Posnack featured artist at Mill’s 190th Anniversary Celebration
LACONIA — Patrons attending the Belknap Mill’s 190th anniversary celebration on Friday, Nov. 8, will have the opportunity to meet Annie Posnack, this month’s featured artist at the Mill’s Riverside Art Gallery. Her exhibit — “My New England, Bits, Pieces and Players” — features images of boating, the lake, botanicals, architecture, portraits, and a few abstractions. Posnack said she loves the antiquity of New England and anything is fair game for subject matter. A local resident who lives on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee with her husband, father, and five feral cats, Posnack says she has been interested in art since her mother showed her how to do some simple drawings. There were lots of art Wendameen Crewmen (Courtesy photo) books in the house for her to explore in a person, landscape, or structure. and, as a youngster, she was inspired While I stay away from weird effects, I by classes she took in painting at the find that Photoshop is a wonderful tool Currier Art Center. to help evoke the original feeling that In high school, she took her first you had when you saw something that photography course and said she was called out to be photographed.

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN, Tuesday, November 5, 2013— Page 29
ANNIE’S MAILBOX
Dear Annie: I am a mother of three children, but it’s the oldest my husband and I worry about. When “John” went to college, he started drinking a lot. I asked him about it then, and he admitted that he might have a problem, but he did nothing about it. That was 10 years ago. He has had two DWIs since, and he drinks every day. I found out from his girlfriend that he actually gets into the shower with a beer in his hand. I recently noticed that the whites of his eyes are yellow, which I’m told is a sign of liver damage. We’ve tried talking with John, but he denies he has a problem. My daughter and her friends have gone out socially with John, and she says he is fun to be with and then suddenly a switch flips and he yells and curses. He once did it when he and my daughter were alone in the car, and she was so scared, she called the police. John has had many girlfriends, but they all leave. He is good most of the time, and he’s a hard worker. His current girlfriend has tried different ways to get him to stop drinking, but he won’t do it. We are so afraid he is going to die from all the booze, or that he will get into an accident and kill himself or someone else. How can I get him to see that he is an alcoholic? Please help before we end up having to bury our son. -- Two Scared Parents Dear Parents: Your son will not stop drinking until he is ready, and you cannot make that happen. His alcoholism may also mask other problems, such as depression, and he might be willing to discuss those issues with a doctor. You also could try an intervention, but please do so only with the assistance of a professional. Right now, contact Al-Anon (al-anon.alateen.org) for support and information. Give the website for Alcoholics Anonymous (aa.org) to John and tell him you love him.
That’s all you can do. The rest is up to your son. Dear Annie: I’ve been a public librarian for 15 years. Despite signs that clearly state, “No Cell Phones,” patrons largely ignore them. I once had a father who turned his cell on and played loud music for his toddler daughter in the same room where people were doing research. He then got offended when I asked him to turn it off. Do these people have no clue about which building they walked into? Where, in this entire country, is there a refuge from noise? Why can’t there still be sanctuaries where people can go to think, do homework and write creatively? I’m not saying libraries have to be as quiet as churches, but people who want to talk on their cells need to have respect for others and do so outside of the library. -- Shhh, Library Dear Library: People aren’t quiet in church anymore, either. The solution is enforcement. We recall a time when noisy people were told to be quiet by the librarian and were asked to leave if they didn’t comply. We recommend you do this whether or not patrons are “offended.” Your rules apply. If your library has a separate children’s room, that would be a good place to direct parents with rambunctious young children, as well as those who chat or play music without using headphones. (We can see libraries having “cellphone rooms” in the near future.) Dear Annie: Please pass along this information to “Proud Mom,” whose military son isolates himself from his peers. We have a Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association in every state, and most of the chapters are near military bases. We are veterans who help veterans, young and old, active or retired, whether they’ve seen combat or not. Our website is combatvet.org. -- Ed “Amerbadas” Lonecke Jr., U.S. Navy Ret.
